Anime Question

Why most Japanese anime openings and endings are 90 seconds while English anime openings are usually 30 or 60 seconds? How can companies do that?

I want:
Japanese anime with 60 second opening/ending.
English anime with 90 second opening.

Good question. I have no idea.

Typical anime television episodes broadcast on network Japanese television have commercial breaks after the opening animation, in the middle of the episode, and just before the ending credits. With this broadcast pattern, a 90 second opening puts more content between commercial breaks than a 30 or 60 second opening, which may be less annoying for viewers to watch.
