I mostly agree, but there is definitely a distinction between employees who perform a task well and employees who seek out tasks to perform well. Most creative industries that treat their stock worse than comparative industries pretty much only consist of the latter type of employee, which then yes, production decisions are almost always the reason why shit happens.

This holds true with any creative industry, so while it may explain why this is an utter disaster (for a similar event, compare APB’s $110 million budget and its utter trainwreck of a development process), it doesn’t explain why it’s commonplace in China. That is largely because the industry is young – an analogue to that would be our current casual games industry. Despite the massive amounts of revenue found there, the industry pumps out incredible amounts of drivel. Those who cut corners undercut those who don’t, and those who don’t lack the expertise to add true value to their product.

That is the current state of the Chinese animation industry. This show is a symptom.

  You gotta be kidding… Even brazilian animation is much, much better, and of course, with a reasonable budget. At least they build that gigantic highway overseas while here, a bridge 10 times smaller was build with the same price and double the time. JAPAN IS BETTER (^_^)/ desu

  Now I cannot look at the trailer at any other way. They were fighting over haircuts, or the right to have one!

  She wants to kick the vending machine but she doesn’t want anyone to see under the skirt, so she wears shorts! Brilliant!

  Short-shorts is part of the charm.
