It should always be quality over quantity. They can do the route of different quality teams, but they still have to compete for people’s time. Gotta be worth it.

Quality > Quantity but sadly the Anime Industry has to keep learning it the hardway. Jevons Paradox strikes again.

In reply to Ko. Fr fr 10O percent agree with you. I don't care for this anime either. There are better ones IMO.

In reply to Ko. Yeah. But I have seen a lot of good anime series too. I would love to own Zenshu (it's a guilty pleasure) it's a good show but it suffers from not having enough time for world building, growth in romantic relationships it suffers from like the 12 episode thing. There's only 12 or 13 episodes so there's many problems due to it being that short. They need to make the anime in a longer series 25 to 100 episodes maybe more.

Everything ends up inevitably as slop eventually nowadays, I guess…

On one hand I hope them expanding to “anime mass scale production” whatev means they will open more jobs for aspiring junior animators and such, but otoh… we know how capitalism actually works and they def wouldn’t give jackshit about workers and such, and this mass scale production only means animators worked beyond death for more ¥¥¥ for the filthy greedy anime production committees, which is Toho is one of those demona

I… dont like this tbh. I already feel like modern anime is way less creative and much more mass manufactured and this is just the nail in the coffin, gonna coin the term animeslop now lol
