On Anime
While Anime is a beloved animation style with a rich history and extensive following, our focus here leans towards other forms of animation. This is due to the immense popularity of Anime in online spaces, which is amply covered by other dedicated communities.
This doesn't mean that Anime related conversation is not allowed here, only that it's not our focus. For a dedicated Anime instance, check out ani.social.
On Technical Discussion
While our primary goal is to discuss animated media, conversations about animation techniques and the process of creating animation are also welcome. Whether you're a budding animator seeking to understand more about the industry, or a seasoned professional sharing your experiences, you're welcome here.

The first episode has scketchy animation as it is. The ideas are what made it watchable. How do you spend four years on a four episode series, and not even get episode two finished?
Are you familiar with the concept of ‘no money’?
Very intimately familiar with it yes.
I'm also not spending years on a project that's going to air and not even completing half of it.
From the sound of it, it seems like it was a mix of it switching studios, no money to make it a priority when the studio could instead work on something that made them money, and covid basically forcing their hand into NEEDing money even more-so.
No time for real art when you need food and shelter for your family. No energy to push yourself even harder when life is crumbling around you (even moreso in japan given the shit work conditions of animators)
Sounds like you knew the team personally. Otherwise why would just make things up you don't actually know about?
I don't understand why youre being so standoffish when all of the info is available directly from the workers themselves and the director of both studios that worked on this. (And sure i guess they could be lying, but come on)
I hope your day gets better and youre able to find a show to enjoy.
