Oh for reference

The reason anime are usually 26 (or sometimes 13 or 39) episodes long are because Japanese broadcast TV is planned as 13-week seasons.

This is why episode 14 is often a New Year’s-themed clip show, as a recap to hook viewers with a newly-open time slot for the winter season

[update; people tell me this has since shifted to 12-week seasons]
