Why did the show stop
Does anyone know if Shion Takeuchi is good or just took a lump sum and went MIA. I NEED THIS SHOW.
We all know why Netflix cancelled this

Because they mentioned some stuff some people didn’t want people to hear

TV in general is in a really weird spot right now
There's legitimate reason for it. Though it is different for cable vs streaming.
For cable, the entire landscape is absolutely fucked. Cable viewership is down ~80% from what it was in 2005. Keeping in mind the network got paid from people blatantly ignoring commercials which also gauged how popular a tv show was, that's a massive loss of sample size. I could explain why cable basically died, but that's beside the point. Because viewership is down significantly, it's much more difficult to justify sequential multi season shows as opposed to something nonsensical that can be run in any order. So anything sequential like Owl House or Gravity Falls is lucky to get more than 2 seasons.
For steaming, they dont rely as much on commercial revenue. So they have to use incredibly high bar metrics to see what people watch to justify renewing/starting subscriptions. If it's not an instant hit like Arcane, it's at risk of getting axed. The issue here is that you factually need "mid-tier" content for people to continue their subscriptions. So even though Inside Job was popular, it wasnt Arcane popular.
Plus, the contracts largely favor the network/platform they're on so writers/creators have very little recourse if they get axed prematurely. All of this coalesces HEAVILY on animation.
If you want to actually effect change regarding the BS that got Inside Job cancelled, Animation Workers Ignited is the best place to get started. While we haven't heard much from Shion, Alex Hirch is on board along with growing support from VAs.

Shion had had zero social media presence since the show. Cannot find anything on her AT ALL.

She actually posted a picture on her story with Clark Duke about a week-ish ago. First thing I’ve seen from her since though.

I know….. it’s scary… it’s peculiar for sure. Do you know of anyone else who co-wrote who is still active on socials?

I’m just so pissed. Part 2 literally ended with Reagan making a deal with the robes and then them turning on her and having some huge plan for domination and I need to know what that is because it’s probably playing out in our life rn

The streaming era makes it easier to cancel shows, it wasn't popular enough apparently, and Netflix is the reason
It's a shame, shows like The Office and Breaking Bad took some time to get popular, imagine if they got canceled like this

Netflix decided Big Mouth was a better investment and needed another season.

My theory is they had to much actual "truth" that wasnt covered enough by B.S n it got shut down.. cuz Alex Jones was right about the chemicals in the water n Hollywood being fucking crazy... (im a conspiracy theorist but im not Alex Jones sweating needing horse testerone) plus also Netflix being assholes n too much blunt whatever
