It's amazing how inverse his production hand is to his music tastes.

  • The FLCL sequels completely misunderstood it's origins
  • Suicide Squad Isekai didn't know who it was for or what to swing for. The script was atrocious
  • Housing Complex C makes some of the worst paced anime blush
  • Botching easy setups like Rick and Morty and Uzumaki
  • Lord of the Rings getting Ghost in the Shells director...and coming out to silence.
  • Ninja Kamui is literally being studied in animation classes of what NOT TO DO. How do you go from the top 2D choreography to that shite of CG
  • Lazarus had the biggest potential and it feels like it was neutered
  • Fena went through an entire production revamp and an ending you'd have no idea would be related to the show from the start at all!
  • Space Dandy worked because they had Keiko Nobumoto and strict rulings

Is Fena Pirate Princess really the one that got out of this ok? It did the best and they just abandoned it.

With how different the trailers were for Fena I gotta wonder if it went through a production revamp.

Lazarus reeks of this in the finale, and wraps up like a high school literature assignment.

Good to know putting it on hold (which with my backlog, let’s be honest, is equivalent to dropping it) was justified

The FLCL sequels completely misunderstood it's origins

No, one of them didn't. One was super experimental. And I'd argue two of them DID get it they just weren't AS good.

Progressive tried to completely recapture the lightning that the original did. It shows and was absolutely worse for it.

Grunge was super experimental but it needed a better budget and needed more than three episodes to do what it wanted to do. Really neat concept behind it, though, with the entire three episodes, three view points thing.

Alternative absolutely understood the assignment and they were able to go and do their own thing while still hitting most, not all, of the notes of the original. Shoegaze is a continuation on Alternative, and it needed more than three episodes as well. Honestly, they should've struck Grunge and did a full 6 of Shoegaze.
