I am just curious about this.
Do you think they have too many commercial breaks? What are your thoughts about it?

I know they are not as long as in the states and I think they air after the anime ep.

Well if you see the run times on episodes, they’re about 24 mins, so like 6 mins of commercials in a 30 min time slots. Also you see where the commercial break would be on some fansub episodes, because some of them don’t clip out the stills they show before and after the commercial break.

okay, I'm not thinking. I was just thinking of the ending stuff.

Demon Slayer left them in because it’s at least cool art, and some harem shows have some... PLOT and BACKSTORY art for their commercial break stills.

So yeah, anyone wondering why some anime randomly show two still images for a few seconds in the middle of a show, it’s for the commercial breaks.
 
not sure lol
but it depends on each anime series too and if it's too popular then obviously the commercials are more.

Not really, anime episodes are basically all around the 24 minute mark. You can see the length in most players.

Maybe they’re trying to drag it out because they gotta find ways to drag out the amount of episodes.

i understand lol
but they still need to fill the time with something. and i usually assumed it would be with commercials.
 
It depends man.
If it's a popular anime, then it's different and you won't see 24 minutes of the episode, from what I know.
