This is an anime. Can you guess which? Hint: It's popular!
Anime (亞迩痲, sometimes romanized animu) is Japanese animation!
Many anime series are based on manga, or Japanese comic book. In modern times, they have a tendency of sucking when they aren't. This seems to be due to high popularity and simplification of anime creation, as history proves that original anime do not have to suck.

As soon as the first volume of a popular manga is released, an anime adaptation will be made. To fill a 13 episode season, original content will be added in episodes 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11.
Episode 13 will not feature an OP, to give the animators more time to display various light effects as the villain gives his last nonsensical speech while the hero realizes that something is precious to him. The ED will then be different: an extended version of the song that won't be released on any OST CD for 3 years will play while a cop-out ending that doesn't resolve anything will be offered to the viewers, assuring them that the status quo was restored as the exposition scenes of the first episode are recycled.
