Actually I'd say that 4 arcs for season one is still a bit on the fast side. When I was reading the vns I spent a lot of time trying to break them down in my head and figure out how many episodes you would need to adapt each arc in an ideal fashion. I came up with something like:
8 episodes for Onikakushi (skipping a few less important scenes in the beginning to get to the festival by episode three. Even longer if you include everything)
9 for Watanagashi (get to the watanagashi festival by episode 4)
10-11 for Tatarigoroshi (never really finished breaking this one down)
3-4 for Himatsubushi (depending on whether they could find a good way to integrate the more interesting tips rather than skipping them entirely like the DEEN version)
My breakdowns tended to be a bit slower paced and expansive compared to the absurdly rushed DEEN version, so I imagine this new anime will be something of a compromise between the two extremes.
