We'll just have to wait and see how things go, things might not be all that bad.SaiyanGod117 wrote:They've been outsourcing for almost 4 months now, I mean was all that for nothing? In addition to the 11 weeks of preperation.
The outsourcing is giving more time for the core staff, but they never stopped working on the episodes as they aired. Tu is someone who works on a ton of episodes, so it could just be that he's kinda short on time to do his work on early episodes in the ToP, but other animators will put out some really nice work, or maybe there is some misunderstanding here. We lack so much context here, I really wish we knew more because all we know is that "something" has gone wrong, but that's kind of a given most of the time with Super. Is it that the Battle Royale is just too much for the current state of the production? Is it just one episode that's having extra problems? Is it multiple? Is it the whole tournament? Are the problems major or minor? Is it something that can be fixed by throwing some more people at it? Can they throw more people at it? There's so many things we don't know that it's kinda hard to even speculate.
Alright, so it could easily be case of Tu having to do a ton of cuts again on a Battle Royale episode, much like he did with episode 90.Ajay wrote:Just to clear things up a little since this has apparently exploded beyond this forum:
Tu's tone isn't particularly doom and gloom. It reads more like an animator going, "Oh man, work got tough pretty quickly!" than him condemning the entire tournament. Perhaps I could have better conveyed the tone there, but I essentially just pasted what my translator gave me.
Try to keep in mind going forward that some of Super's best episodes have been made under tight constraints. Having this new insight into the production of the show shouldn't change your expectations too much.
A rushed production doesn't always mean what you get on your screens is going to be poor, too. We've just had episode 90 that sounded like one of the more extreme cases of a poor schedule, and that turned out absolutely fine, if a little uninteresting.
It'd be best if you reserved your judgement and outrage until you can put these comments into context once the episodes begin airing.
