So basically depending on how little lead time there is/how fucked the schedule gets, it is not at all uncommon for episodes to be delivered the week or even actual day they are supposed to air.
Pretty much every single time you've seen a recap episode it was the team behind the next episode not making it in time.

Shaft in particular used to be infamous for episodes having "to be finished" cards in completely random spots. Moon Phase in particular had scenes during almost every episode of its airing where the screen just went completely black for no discernable reason.
They also used to do major touchup and occasionally total redraws between broadcast and DVDs which have fallen out of favor with more digital based and streaming. There used to be entire sites dedicated just to tracking and highlighting these changes.
I would definitely agree he's supposed to be a weird outlier but I think I would honestly prefer the version where we get a story more involved with the revolution.
The literal reason EVA had so many extra although it was complete imo on release
And yeah Japanese corporate is alive and well one manga and anime always has been
It's been that way since forever, too.

Presenting Castlevania Nocturne’s newest cast member, a temporally displaced René Descartes.
In a sensible system, sure
In the grind that is the anime industry? Oh god no it is completely common to be finishing episodes not far out from the deadline to get that shit to the broadcaster to be aired. Like maybe not always “a few hours before airtime” bad, but there’s a reason that, say, the NieR anime kept taking time off during its run despite only being two cours: as the crew got hit with illness in the studio (I think it was theorized to be COVID spreading around over and over), that meant they couldn’t get the episodes done in time for airing without those multi-week long hiatuses.
Joke based on above spoilers
Still Nocturne
i'm reminded of the paranoia agent episode where the folks involved in animating a show were literally dying to get the show done in time, and that was almost 20 years ago, now
industry hasn't improved since then, huh
The first episode with North Two had me tearing up.
From the same author, I watched Monster literally half my life ago, and it was very good.
I also ready 20th Century Boys, and it was... eeeeeeeh... amazing at first (like, maybe the BEST MANGA EVER!?!?!?!), and then really went downhill the closer it was getting to the ending.
Urasawa isn't perfect and i agree his endings aren't always as gripping as the beginnings, but he's so good at true feeling human emotion.
I wish Pluto had an opening like Monster. Such a great op.
Anyway this show is immediately very different from how the internet made me expect it to be (I'd mostly seen discourse/praise for all the fighting etc) and I greatly enjoy it. I'm actually kinda not looking forward to it getting focused on battles and conflict, if that's what happens, because this Kino's Journey type pace and feel is exactly my jam.

That is good to hear! I finished episode 3 just earlier and was rather pleased with how they handled the one piece of direct conflict.
Think I will be adding this to the list of anime to watch with my Dad.
Its just if you have a lot of conflicts sometimes you gotta fight somebody. That be how it is.
I mean... yes.
I'm just talking about my expectations based on what I had seen/heard about the show beforehand. Lotta folks talking up all the fighting, which made it seem like there would be a lot of it. I am pleasantly surprised that is not the case.

Yeah. There's a lot about Shirobako that is super toxic that it shares with idol shows. They're massive propoganda for a hugely exploitive industry that refuses to confront or even acknowledge its problems. Everybody in it is brimming with passion. If you're passionate enough, things will work out and you will be universally acclaimed. If things don't work out, you just didn't believe hard enough or try hard enough. Try harder. Work is everything. This is your dream, isn't it? People who treat this as a job or not the MOST IMPORTANT THING DEFINING YOUR ENTIRE WORLD lack passion, and ruin it for everybody else.
nnnot my experience elsewhere on the internet! as for here, I've not looked inside spoiler tags.
The writing is really very good all around.
More broadly, I'm worried about the pacing a bit. Last season they had 20 episodes, and adapted two volumes in episodes 2-20. (the 1st episode was a stand alone story). This season they adapted the 3rd volume in 7 episodes, but only have 5 left. I'm wondering if they'll only adapt the first half of the 4th volume in the last 5 episodes, and leave the rest of volume 4, as well as the 5th and possibly 6th volumes for a theoretical 3rd season. The 6th volume just came out, so the author is pretty much tapped for content as of now.
I was talking about the shows vibe there, not a general thing about anime shows or anything. If there's a fight its necessary.
You probably heard a lot about the fights cos what is there is beautifully animated and paced, with real emotion and stakes, rather than because it is a fighting show in particular.
That part at least is not unique to Mappa. Mappa is just worse.
That part in the last episode of Shirobako where a staffer has to drive like crazy to get the episode materials over to the TV station in time for the broadcast wasn't just made up out of nothing.
The studio heads are just like hey lets make some o' that "light novel" anime, the kids all love that shit apparently.
The main character is a voice actress who can't act, but she thinks that's fine because she's cute.
The other voice actresses are pretty much just there for the check or to build up their resume and know their show sucks.
The whole production strategy is pretty much just get cute voice actresses so they can make some money doing signing events and put bikini pictures into the bluray extras.
Every now and then we see the actual animation director, who's always still at his desk working himself to the bone, all to push out a show that's cynical garbage that nobody likes.
