Very excited to see this story play out. (It surely couldn't last more than 13 episode though could it..)

mmm.. and kinda off topic, but why are so many series 13 episodes? google wouldnt yeild answers for me

one "season" (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter) lasts 12 weeks for a normal series, but there's like a grey zone between when one season finishes and another starts. Some series don't get 13th episodes, only 12, and some shows last for 2 seasons and can have as many as 24 or 26 episodes

Indeed. It depends on how much story there is to adapt but then again there has been many examples of bad adaptations where they don't stay true to the manga they originate from or simply from bad directing, animation or just the feeling that it should have lasted longer.

Many variables but ultimately it'll either be good or bad. That's for you to decide.

(Personally I like 24 episode animes best but Elfen Lied & Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei are both 13 episodes and remain top favorites of mine!)
