MODERATORS
It's White Fox that's animating it, right? It's unusual for them to be working on two TV series simultaneously (the other one being Sengoku Youko)—maybe they discovered they'd bitten off more than they could chew before the airing dates for this season of Re: Zero were announced, and so quietly altered the schedule without telling anyone?
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.
