Someone correct me if I'm wrong but isn't there something about Japanese Media where it's really unusual to have an anime that is not 26 episodes long? (With the exception FLCL which was like 6 episodes...) It is most common for an anime to have either 12 episodes per season or 25 episodes per season (with some notable exceptions such as Death Note, which ran 37 episodes and Soul Eater, which had around 50 episodes). Death Note actually has 2 seasons. The first is 19 episodes and the second is 18. No, the entire anime was produced as one season, as evidenced by the fact that all of the episodes were released in regular one-week intervals in Japan, with no large break between any of the broadcasted episodes (as there usually would be between seasons). Why does the Death Note wiki list it as being 2 seasons, then? I wouldn't know why (that being said, I don't see any mention on the Death Note wiki of their being two seasons). http://deathnote.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Death_Note_Episodes Right at the top it says "This is a list of episodes Death Note anime series contained 37 episodes divided into 2 seasons." Well, I can't speak for the editors of their page says that, but the fact that all of the Death Note episodes were produced at the same time, and were all aired on a regular, weekly basis, indicates that they were all produced as part of one season. Not to mention the fact that, if you look at common anime tropes, the second season of an anime is always treated as new series which acts as a continuation of the previous one.

For example: Okay impressive list of all the anime and their seasons and I can name some too later if you want?
