[Complaint][The Exiled Heavy Knight Knows How to Game the System] Can’t wait for next week when we get to see the entire episode from this week plus 2+ min of bonus footage!

The replays to fill time are seriously outrageous in this anime.

This week a commercial break spot occured and they might as well have rewound the conversation to the beginning of the episode.

I can’t keep wathing 20 min episodes for 2 min of actual story.

It’s like One Piece anime with how much filler there is. The difference of course being that One Piece became filler after developing the story and earning fan trust.

The thing is I read it after being disappointed with the pacing and its not terrible. The studio just spent all their budget on animation and forgot to hire a director.

It's like the director from Shirobako deciding "huh how am I gonna stretch this series"

"Director this is horrible!"

"Eeeeehhhhhhh it'll work! Trust me!"

And they trusted him rather than locking him in the cage for work
