To some extent yes, but in this case since it's airing free (albeit presumably on some kind of obscure exclusive streaming platform that no-one's heard of until now) it doesn't quite work that way. Yeah we're not paying anything to watch it, so naturally we shouldn't expect that much - except what else didn't/don't we pay to watch? Steven Universe. Rick and Morty. Gravity Falls. Transformers Animated, Beast Wars, Prime. Just because we don't pay to watch a show doesn't mean it can't be good, all it means is that it's not making its money back directly from people paying to watch it.
In cases like this (free broadcast media as opposed to physical products), it's not that we get what we pay for, so much as we get what the people making it pay for. If I
could pay a little more (say, around the price of a ticket for a movie, which we understand this is the length of) to have it be decent movie-quality, I would absolutely take that. But we can't, 'cause the people in charge decided that they'll do better financially if they make something (probably) bad that they can slap out for free to advertise toys that are already off the shelves.
...Where was I going with this? I honestly don't know what I was trying to achieve just there. I'm not even really disagreeing with anyone; sorry if it seemed like I was arguing with you in particular Fenrir, I don't honestly know what spurred me to write this but if I put you in the crossfire with my nonexistent opponent I apologize.
You're one of the few decent head screwed properly on the shoulder members here so no worries bud. Not picking a fight with you.
Again, I will repeat, ya get what you pay for. The previous business models of animation production is waaaaaaaaay different now. Too bad. What with investor cash being so scarce. Maybe it's a ripple effect from the great anime implosion a few years back. Now, the staple of anime is like 12 episodes per story arc unlike the 50 plus like that of DBZ or Gundam.
Why RID gets the loving over this one? Only Hb can say. Maybe RID products sell better? Who knows.
The stories written also reflects on how much Hb is willing to invest. Too bad. So we just
and enjoy it while the fun lasted.
