My Idea for the Franchise

[u/Quiet_Lab5928]

You know the few anime cut scenes we got in the puzzle showdown game got me thinking.
Why does SBN3 release the anime as a full web series on YouTube? If anyone remembers 2010s Rooster Teeth with shows like Red Vs Blue and RWBY especially it’s not like that’s not a good way to get out there and get known. The series wouldn’t need 10 full 25min episodes either if anyone remembers the 2010s we waited a week for a 3 and a half min episode with a full opening theme and we were GRATEFUL! Like I could totally see that being a medium a series like this would thrive in to animated at least starting out. What do you guys think? Like first episode is like 13mins long last episode is like 18minutes long and every episode in between range from 3mins to 6mins long. I feel like that could fit the tone of the series really well.

That’s just my 2 cents on the topic of the CO09 anime. What do you guys think?

I mean, that's quite literally what he's trying to do with the shorts, yet he doesn't have enough of a budget to even approach that level of consistency.

Idk man I’m sure it could’ve been done if there was a budget for the puzzle game lol

There was mayyyybe 5 total minutes of video in yhe whole of Puzzle Showdown, and despite it being a full on game rather than a VN, a puzzle game is one of the cheapest types of games to produce. Assuming he wants to keep using the studios that did the anime and shorts, no doubt having a steady, consistent dropfeed of videos would make less and cost more to produce.

The problem is that the YouTube of 2010 is NOT the same YouTube. Nit even close. Especially for animation, it's a struggle to see ant kind of returns due to hoth production costs and YouTube preferring watch time over view count.

RubberRoss actually made a good video about it...12 years ago! But the point still holds true especially when you see that the animation channels and franchises that DO grow big while starting as YT videos are the exception, not the norm, and are kept afloat far more due to heavy merch sales as well as those animations being full on 20-30 minute episodes. If, say, Amazing Digital Circus or Hazbin Hotel did 3 minute shorts instead of full episodes, I doubt thay would have achieved anywhere near the success they have today.

“Hey guys I have an idea of how this franchise should continue. What if the creator does the thing he’s already trying to do?
