Um, did that make sense? Neither of them are really set between seasons, their just money making gimmicks.  |
I'll grant the DVD-only episode constituted a "bonus for buying the DVDs" ... but the recent Ep 0 was a "special" designed to raise your interest for the summer series.
A little reality now, ALL anime is a "money-making gimmick" designed to get you (or actually the domestic Japanese viewer) to buy merchandise: DVDs, CDs, figures, shirts, swag. So labeling a particular piece of it as a "money-making gimmick" is misleading.
