Lycoris Recoil is doing something similar. Seems like a smart way to keep people engaged and show the studio that the numbers are strong enough to keep the show alive, but I am a little concerned that the studios might start pivoting to shorter form productions to cut costs
Pretty sure season 2 is contracted already. The shorts are an advertising tool, keeps fan momentum up on a far smaller budget than a special or movie. Crossovers have a similar effect with the bonus of potential new audience.
