* ''Manga/{{Dorohedoro}}'', at least in terms of chapters adapted per episode, though the episodes are inconsistent in actually having separate segments for each chapter or merging them all into a single segment. Generally, even-numbered episodes have three segments (except episode 8, which had four), while odd-numbered ones have a single segment (except episode 9, which had the usual three).
