Length of Blood+, inside knowledge if possible

I am one of those people who think Blood + would have been a great 26 ep show, but at 50 eps it is decent at best (some sections drag on and on like Shonen Jump series).
Does anyone know why it was made at 50 instead of 26? Was it such a hot property that they figured they would milk it for the extra DVD sales (like Chobits (should have been 13 eps, was painful at 27))?
Just wondering, hopefully someone has some authoritative knowledge of the reason.

The thing about inside knowledge is, 99% of the people on message boards don't have it, and that 1% (or less) that does have it isn't allowed to talk about it. So there's no use in asking questions that no fellow fan would know the answer to, as dormcat would be glad to tell you.

As for Blood+, I'm not familiar with it, but I'd assume it was made into a 50-episode series because the studio had the funding and the timeslot for it and thought there was enough demand among the viewing public to watch and buy 50 episodes worth of material. Anything beyond that is pure speculation.

But if anyone wishes to discuss Blood+ and why it would've been better at 26 episodes, feel free to do so.

imo blood+ is great up till about episode 26, what im trying to figure out is why after episode 26 it started falling badly. it felt like the story was dieing almost like a new director was put in, but according to Wiki there was only one director for all 50 episodes.
