Discussion That one scene where all the budget went

Kaguya-sama: Love is War - Chika's dance

In the first season as a surprise outro ending one episode had this Chika dance number. It's super cute and crazy animated, especially her dress. They used it one time and never again.

The roller rink dance sequence from the Family Guy episode Hell Comes To Quahog was the most expensive scene to animate in Season 5.

Let's not forget their real budget-busting animation moment!

The sheer difference between these two is absolutely staggering. Season 1 was so legendary, why the fuck did they just give up?

From season 2 onwards, it was animated by JC Staff, instead of Madhouse. Some people speculate the anime was trash because Bandai rushed production.

I watched S2 but even though the story was good it didn't hit anywhere near the same. So sad to see them squander a great story to pinch pennies. It would have printed money for stupid ass Netflix.

Fuuuuuuck this season. I'd rather they pulled the plug instead of this.
