 Anime is released in Japan weekly, divided into 4 broadcast seasons: Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall. Your average anime season is 12-13 episodes, but things can get fuzzy with multi-season shows and multi-cour seasons. Most of the anime I will suggest have already finished broadcast, but you can use a service like [[https://anichart.net/|AniChart]] to see what's airing in each season. In modern times, you can watch shows weekly at the same time they're released in Japan, or very close (e.g., within 1 hour) through the magic of simulcasting. Millions of dollars have been spent from groups like Sony on ensuring that anime is accessible. If you care about a series, you'll figure out how to keep track of it and watch it regularly.
-Each episode is typically 23 minutes, and consists of an opening theme song, a closing theme song, and an eyecatch in the middle where a commercial break would go (sometimes removed in the release versions of each show).
