Me and 3 of my friends collect anime and we all have a complete series of an anime each, and all of them have 26 eposides. Is this a tread in anime?

Zeffervelli

woah, i didn't know that, probably though...

Hassun

More importantly, is this a valid thread?
What's the point of this?

I think that this thread is about anime shows with only 26 episodes.

Ah, I guess you meant "is this a trend in anime"
No it isn't.
The number of episodes is usually based on the TV seasons. (Not counting specials or extras.)
E.g.
Hellsing and Elfen Lied have 13 episodes.
D.N.Angel and Azumanga Daioh and have 26 episodes
GitS SAChas 52 episodes.

but

Rave and FMA have 51 episodes
Tenjou Tenge has 24 episodes,
Weiß Kruez has 25 episodes
Ranma 1/4 has 161 episodes,
RK has 95 episodes,
DBZ has 291 episodes, ...

You should see the pattern in the first group.

Um, this thread seems pretty stupid to me. Hassun is right in that it corresponds with tv scheduling. The fact that it is anime has nothing to do with it. Im not exactly sure why 26 was set as the standard, but I would guess it has something to do with the fact that there are 52 weeks in a year.
