    It’s White Fox that’s animating it, right?

    That’s right. It looks like it was planned for 16 episodes. Here is my guess as to the release schedule strategy:

    Instead of running 16 straight episodes and either starting or ending mid-season, they decided to start at the beginning of the Fall season (with a 90-minute special), take a break after the first 8 episodes (which wrap up an arc), then jump in again with the final 8 episodes in the middle of the Winter season so that its finale will air around the same time as other shows also finish up.

    Total speculation on my part, but I did go back and find that this release schedule was how it was originally announced back in September. So, it’s not like they changed it partway through the season.
