It is a matter of resources and manpower. They do not have some large animation staff and they do not even have money for a whole bunch of paid actors and actresses, hence why the staff contribute their voices. Even with the short lengths a bunch of errors still pop up without them catching it. You want a finished product that has negligble errors (I admit I never really notice the errors until I check here), but that would be harder to achieve if they had to use their small staff to eke out 12 minute episodes every week for 16 weeks. Hopefully, the series can do well enough financially that they can add some staff and perhaps increase the length. I would still not be holding out hope for 12 minute episodes at a regular tick, but maybe we can get a couple more minutes each episode.
