Okay it is only the 1st episodes of the series but still. It is for promotional reasons. I actually think it is genius considering that most people wont know if the anime is good or not, offering them the opportunity to "test drive" it is infact very cleaver. It could even boost sales. Think about it take Death Note as an example . The name doesnt really sound very "selling" so if someone wants a good anime and sees death note they will not really appeal to it coz of the name. Yet if they are to watch episode 1 that will most probably allow them to change their minds. Unfortunatly they are not doing this for all anime series , only a select few. But if it should change as time progress. It seems like "test driving" products is the way to go in the future.
