Just so you know. The official site for the show says it premieres on April 4th not the 5th. Might wanna change the date

Japan does this weird thing where the first few hours of the next day are credited to the previous for the purposes of TV scheduling (maybe other things too, I dunno). So for example Syoboi lists it is "2012-04-04(水) 25:50", which we would call the 5th at 1:50AM.

Well that would still end up being Wednesday the 4th from our perspective (timezones and all) but eh whatever. Just making sure it was accurate.

That's why I specify JST. We have posters all over the world.

This website is claiming the series to be 45 episodes. Has anyone used this site before? Is it reliable? I've read they've made a few mistakes regarding episode count before, and I'm thinking this may be a mistake.

I'm taking it with a grain of salt because Gainax has never done anything longer than 27 episdoes, but there's a first time for everything.

edit: Yeah, I decided to check what it said about other series' and it's listing Saki Side A as 25 episodes, which we can confirm is wrong by it having 6 BD volumes solicited.

I think this series is going to just be 26 episodes or something and this listing is way off.

I usually use http://cal.syoboi.jp which lists only 12 so far, but that doesn't mean much yet. Just says that broadcast times for any further episode aren't available yet. It'll change as we get more info.

So, no way to know yet.

Thanks, I think I'll use that website from now on, it has much more information on display than what I used.
