Hayanuki: 20 tagged, 128 in the series
早抜き, hayanuki, is the smallest useful category on this site and the clearest example of a tag that has come apart from the thing it describes.
The tag covers 20 titles. The series with the same name in it has 128. Those two numbers should be much closer together.

What the word means
早 (haya) is fast or early. 抜き (nuki) means pulling out or extracting — in this context, extracting the parts worth keeping.
A hayanuki release is the highlights cut. The setup, the dialogue, and the build are removed, and what remains is the material a viewer skipped forward to find.
The English navigation gives it no name. We gloss it as Highlights Cut.
The tag broke and the series did not
The tag was applied from July 2004 to October 2010, then abandoned. It stopped four years earlier than the other retired tags on this site, which makes it the first to go.
The series carrying the same name has been publishing from July 2004 straight through to July 2026. It has 128 entries and is active.
Of those 128, only 18 carry the hayanuki tag. Ninety-one carry the Compilation tag instead, which is where the labelling moved.
So the tag is not a smaller version of the series. It is a fossil of the first six years, and the series outgrew it by a factor of six.

Ignore the tag. Browse the series.
This is the single most concrete case on the site for a habit we recommend generally: the studio’s named series are more reliable than its tags. Here the tag returns 20 titles, the newest sixteen years old, when 128 exist and new ones are still arriving.
Nothing in the interface tells you this. The tag looks like a small category rather than a broken one.
Whether the format is for you
Worth being direct about, because it is a real preference and people split on it.
The argument for it: on a subscription you are paying for time, and a highlights cut removes the part most people fast-forward through. The series median runtime is still 61 minutes, so this is not short-form — it is an hour of concentrated material.
The argument against it: the build is doing something. Remove it and what remains can feel repetitive, because pacing is what stops an hour of the same thing from reading as an hour of the same thing. If you care about scene structure, this format removes exactly what you care about.
We would suggest trying one before assuming either way. On a trial it is a cheap experiment.

A compilation collects multiple complete scenes. A highlights cut condenses them.
Both end up under the Compilation tag now, which is the weakness we flagged in that article — 164 titles under one label covering two genuinely different editing approaches.
Checking the series name on a title is currently the only reliable way to tell which one you are getting.
The eight performers
Only eight performer credits appear across the twenty tagged titles, all of them appearing once. Compilations are frequently credited to nobody, so this is normal for the format rather than a data gap.
Eleven of the twenty are illustrated here. That 45% exclusion rate is the highest of any category we have measured, and it reflects how this material is framed — a highlights cut is by construction the most explicit minutes of a title, and our image rule catches more of it.
