The episodes-per-set issue is where I got the idea it was cost-based, I think, since Andrew felt that the market here wouldn't support an AoA-style release (and since he's running a business, I guess he has to go with his gut there). The second possibility would be frustrating if true, though again, Andrew gets a lot of feedback that we need day-and-date releases or no buy. I suspect the real reason is a mix of all of the above since I'm sure Aniplex is being clingy about them in general and not offering them off its own bat in the hope that foreign distributors' offerings do well in their own market and have no appeal to the AoA/AoJ buyers they make the most money off.

In any case, yes, final clarification would be very welcome.
