I think your math is a little off; if the episodes for this were going to be the standard 23 minute length that TV anime run, then it would be 4 hours, not 8.
However, there's two things to consider:
1. The episodes for this are going to be "long", meaning that they'll run longer then the standard 23 minutes.
2. Since the episodes are long, this series may not be a TV series, but rather an OVA. Keep in mind that the article does not explicitly say whether this is going to be a TV series or not. If they want to have long episodes to cover all the material from each volume, an OVA would be perfect for this type of anime.
