As boring and bland as Parsley is, she's literally the only character that doesn't grind my nerves to dust, so she's probably the only person I could see being actual friends with. Like she'd be the only person you could pluck from that world, put into this one, and she'd be well-adjusted enough to actually function on her own. Probably because she's the only one who's conventionally normal to any degree.

Sage was supposed to be a *H E A L E R???* What the fuck, how were we meant to know?? Did *she* know that??? She healed some poison *once!!* *HOLY SHIT SOME HEALING MAGIC WOULD HAVE BEEN PRETTY FUCKING USEFUL IN SEVERAL SPECIFIC SCENARIOS THROUGHOUT THE SHOW, WOULDN'T IT.*

0:23 - Wait: Why didn't Rodriguez use the Tumblr webcomic's original artstyle!? That would've made it distinctive and unique...except for Rosemary, who literally is just a cartoon-styled Madoka w/a broadsword. But the others look great; just recolor Thyme's hair to red (that was a good change so she doesn't look like Parsley's older sister). To keep w/ "mature themes", park that shit on ADULT SWIM.

6:32 That is the most confusing part. Thyme trying to cure The Rot is enough to get the villain's attention. Wouldn't all the Elves who had to flee their homes at least be talking about it? What makes her special in the villain's eyes?

That's a very good Point: Why do we not know what a Guardian does?! It's the Goal of our Main Characters! You'd think they would tell us something that's THIS important. What do Guardians even protect the World *from* ? RWBY has a lot of Problems, but they establish right away, in the very first Episode, that the World is threatened by these evil Monsters called Grimm that have preyed on Humanity for as long as it has existed. Or take the Game The Secret World: While you fight many supernatural Threats, from Wizards, over Vampires, to Mummies, Djinns and Ghosts, it is established relatively "early" that there is no bigger Threat than the Filth, a strange, black Slime that slowly corrupts and drives People insane, and will devour our entire Plane of Existence, if left unchecked! What do we get in High Guardian: A nebulous Group that does nebulous Things for nebulous Reasons. Are they what Guardians supposed to defend the World from? Yes? No? Who knows?!

Would a protagonist be more interesting if they have some flaws as their character traits? Like goku not the smartest but a fighting genius or Jaden Yuki slack in school but plays like a pro. I mean the main characters from my little pony friendship have their strengths and flaws. Twilight sparkle is smart but very OCD. Applejack too stubborn to ask for help.

Parsley is by far the easiest character to fix in terms of actually giving her a character arc: Have her join the school to become a guardian because she wants to get away from her family and the stifling expectations they put on her. At the academy she slowly realises that she misses her family and that she's still fond of smithing, and toward the end of the season she reconciles with her family and decides to pursue both smithing and guardianship instead of choosing between the two. It's a giant cliche of course, and maybe that's why the creators didn't take that route, but instead they just didn't do anything to develop the character at all. And it's not as if Parsley's character arc was sacrificed in service of any of the other characters' arcs, because none of them are developed much beyond gaining some physical/magical skills.

I think there could've been a fascinating connection between 'old magic' and 'new magic' where the discipline, study and practice required to be proficient at 'old magic' could've made Sage acclimate relatively easily to 'new magic', but they don't even explain what either one even is. They also don't really go into what makes one better than the other or why Sage has such trouble with 'new magic'. There's also that really frustrating scene where it's revealed that Sage's mother, who exclusively uses 'old magic' hates 'new magic'. Her own sister calls her a hypocrite for having used 'new magic' when she was younger (setting aside the fact that that isn't what hypocrisy even is) and she does this right to Sage's face. She also completely ignores Sage's misgivings about using 'new magic' and deliberately pushes her to just use it as if that isn't a really messed up thing to do to your own flesh and blood. This is a really REALLY screwed up thing, because she's basically pushing her way of doing things onto a confused and unsure child, and this whole thing is framed as the right thing to do by the show.

I really wish this show was better, but I really enjoy all of the discussion it creates about storytelling. It clearly had potential with its characters, and I hope it gets a second season just to see if it improves. Great video.

"could the healing water heal a tree?" "Yes....YOU ARE READY"

One of my biggest gripes is how impractical Rosemary's outfit is for actual fighting. Her poofy pigtails are just asking to get grabbed by an enemy (this is why horned helmets are VERY impractical in actual combat, a horn is just a handle asking to get grabbed). She has ZERO practical armour (her arms and legs are fully exposed, her shoulderpads don't protect nearly enough of her shoulders and I don't know if her brown fabric over her dress is supposed to be padded cloth or leather), NO helmet and her sword is impratically big. She sucks so much as a Melee fighter that Catgirl MAGE is able to smack her around in close quarters. The other 'Guardians' at least aren't predominantly fighters (Mage, Archer and Smith) so their lack of protective armour is more excusable. Rosemary has no excuse if she wants to not get gutted a second time. EDIT: I also don't like how New Magic is used by the good guys when there's seemingly no cost or downside to it. Normally in fantasy shows, magic that seemingly has no cost or downside...ALWAYS secretly has a downside. You're taking a shortcut compared to Old Magic. It's like the Dark Side of the Force, or Black Magic in other Fantasy settings. Old Magic takes effort and sacrifice, GOOD traits, New Magic takes neither of those things, making it a shortcut to power. A BAD thing to encourage.

I think I get it now: the biggest problem with HGS is that this is the creator's "first baby". They are waaay too protective over it, want everyone to love it without any genuine improvement, and screw anyone who doesn't like it outright because it's "my little princess". They are shielding it from criticism, every excuse given shifts responsibility off onto someone else (Crunchyroll, the audience, etc.), and they cannot see the flaws in their own creation. It's a fanfic. This would've worked better as a light novel with the style of the webcomic, since they clearly care more about the characters than the worldbuilding or story. Have them already established at magic school, don't make the world too complicated, just very "girls do almost nothing and look cute" trope. HGS as it stands is both too ambitious and too bland for TV anime.

I like the majorly story/character/worldbuilding and storytelling take on reviewing this show. Straying away from ALL the drama and focusing on the show itself just goes to show that this show, for what it is, is still just bad. It's very calming to watch at least some people who review it in a non-hyperbolic way

(I haven't watched the show, so correct me if I was wrong) I would say, the magic should've been the simplest thing in there. They could just make that the old magic like runic magic, where it's really stable but it needed to draw first making it hard to use in battle. While the new magic just needed chanting and gems or something as an intermediary, the gem that was acting as the intermediary would be destroyed if you overuse it and as the new magic is unstable. If you use new magic without an intermediary the result could become random, like it could create an explosion between you and your surrounding making it unrealiable without items like gems and such as intermediary. And so we can use it to create an arc for Sage. Let's say that after few episodes, we see that Sage is now able to use the new magic and so she keep using it without knowing that new magic is unstable without gems. She using it for various thing such as carrying stuff, cooking or other meaningless thing, until the time where they are training in dungeon. As monster surrounding them, Sage who kept using the new magic suddenly taken surprise as the gem in her magical rod explodes into pieces. But there's no time as the monster keep surrounding them, she still insisted on using the new magic which ends up hurting her teammates because of the random result and thus making her afraid to use the new magic. The following day after the incident, as she still afraid to use the new magic, she is consulting either to her cousin or her cousin's wife (which will make them more than what they always do in the show, like I feel like they are there just to satisfy the lesbian). Which still uses the old magic for alot of things from the most mundane thing to use to using it to protect themselves. Making her realize that she doesn't need to only relied on new magic, as the old magic is actually capable of something much more than what she expected from everyone that uses new magic, and so, she begins to train her magic once again. One day, the teacher asked them to do a mock battle and calls for Sage and the other random student who is a top student at magic. The others are rooting for top student of course, but then the whole class is taken surprise as Sage, using the new magic as way to distract her enemy with simple fire magic or whatever it is and support herself using a magic barrier whilst finishing her old magic that she draws as an offensive spell in the battle, is actually defeating the top student. Sorry for the long post, I just can't bear it when the magic is so barebone that the only explanation is "It's magic" like f*ck me.

its such a shame the story seems so confusing because the art style is REALLY cute

3:17 i like the idea of a morally grey/neutral organization the protagonist wants to join. Could be some nuance to the story where their code says to keep balance but they want to kill the villain, or they want to save people

The only good thing about HGS is how it lead me to good smaller content creators.

this show has inadvertently introduced me to so many good artists

I feel like HGS is not utilizing the strengths of either anime or American cartoons. HGS was advertised heavily when more diverse media wasn’t super common, and at first I thought it was just because of the whole way it was portrayed and the unsubtle way it displays itself. But now, not only are a lot of animation, ESPECIALLY American cartoons, becoming more diverse and LGBT friendly (by no means in a perfect way, btw), but they are more nuanced and rich than High Guardian Spice will ever be. It’s not enough to just be politically conscious, you have to have something to SAY, and reasons why your viewers should care. But why should we care about HGS? As a positive thing, I actually like the backgrounds in this show! The painting like surroundings are actually pretty cute, and maybe would be cool in a better written story.

I've seen a good explanation in the comments that the purpose of a high guardian is to protect something they commit to, a personal vow So it's a case by case, could be a country a city or the people in general It is just that holy shit they fucking could have been less bad at explaining it?

The biggest mistake is the too long-winded intro, so many trains in one episode

honestly, if i can say one thing about this show, is that i found a bunch of small and really good content creators who need a bit more attention because of the rabbit hole of reviews. I loved this video honestly, it was pretty entertaining

As it's explained, guardian is a concept, not a role. This is like having a school for philanthropists. Sure, you could. But why? Just give to the needy and spread your wealth. Not something that needs a school. It feels like the same thing here. Also, why does Parsley look (and kind of sound) like Hani from Ouran High School Host Club? Come on. I can't be the only one who's noticed this. On top of that, copy/pasting Halloween into this world makes no sense. If magic always existed, it stands to reason that magic was used to ward off evil, so things like dressing in costume (imitating mummers) and carving pumpkins to scare away evil spirits makes no sense and feels lazy. I don't mind that Halloween is there, but be creative with it. Make it unique to this universe.

Someone pointed out that their names are herbs, not spices, so even the title of the show is wrong.

High Guardian Spice is important because it shows writers what NOT to do. It's a very good creative lesson.

I just noticed, when Rosemary holsters her sword she does not have the reach to place it point first in her scabbard her sword would just fall out of her hand as she released it

I love High Guardian Spice for how big of a mess it is. Absolutely nothing is done right or consistent. I keep going though videos to find more plot points to make fun of it for 💀

16:00 those background nameless student looks as boring as if creators was drawing they own friends (a generic people). I remember how fun background characters was in the Little witch academia.

HGS is a great example of what not to do when writing a story or a character. I write for fun(pen and paper type guy) & I could come up with better character ideas.Hell one of my characters is a female dhampir similar to Dante from Devil May Cry trying to adjust to the modern world after being sealed/asleep for centuries.

This is a bit of a joke my friends and I made, but this show is basically RWBY with zero passion, love, or so much as thought put into it. And I get RWBY ain't a perfect show either, but it's LEAGUES better than what ever drivel HGS tried to do...

The biggest issue with Parsley is that she runs away from her commitment to being a Smith for her family to commit to being a Smith in the same town or family lives in where they can bother her all the time

That is why prefer Onyx Equinox, another Crunchyroll animated series based on Mesoamerican cultures with interesting characters and story.

This channel definitely deserves more attention

(I mostly know show from rant videos and Slime Boy clips, so i could be wrong about some parts) I think it would fitting if guardians was some sort of the secret police service(something like a Man in Black, but fantasy) who would protect head leaders secrets and keeping people from knowing about threats from within (conspiracies, hidden cults etc.) so there wouldn't be any panics in cities or rebelion against goverment. That would explain why we don't know much about them - it's to show guardians as a protecting warriors and not as head leaders agents. And "old magic" and "new magic" would be interesting if old magic was shown as something that only Mages could do, but new magic could be perfom by annyone by require only certan magic items to do. That would be nice way to show two sides of "progressivism": on one hand, we have accessibility to magic privilage, but on the other hand, it makes mage profession as a whole useless where everyone can become one without much training or any skill at all making it simple.

I really dislike how they made olive lose she's a mage and can fight with staff so why did she never use magic in the fight with rosemary and mandrake was actually interesting shame they only have him in the end

I appreciated this video. Intelligent, in depth, fair, and entertaining. The work you put in paid off. I don't subscribe to many channels, but you earned one. And your english was perfect.

Won’t lie, the breaking oath consequences sounds like a very good concept that one could expand on, you can take several routes with the that idea involving the oath being broken. Like for example, someone who wants to desperately get out of the guardian job without having to die. Or, someone who’s forced to break the oath, and suffer the consequences bringing the vagueness of magic oath rules into question, or someone who had broken the oath and survived through some degree of willpower. What I’m saying is it would’ve been more interesting to hear what came from that, I can’t personally recall many shows that tackle severe consequences attached to a oath taken by many people as standard being broken.

"It started as comic on Tumblr" This explains SO MUCH.

12:48 “Old Magic” is just copied from The Dragon Prince’s sigils. “New Magic” is ripped-off from final fantasy VII with Materia (read: terraspheres) and mako energy [the rot].

I don't mind the art style, it reminds me of those cartoons from the early 2000s and I love the fantasy setting, but that's were my praise ends.... IT SUCKSSSSSS as an 'anime' but Kids cartoon I think it would have been great, it would be one of those monster of the week cartoons, with the girls learning about the power of friendship (or whatever moral the episode was trying to get across) it would still lack an overarching plot (in the first season) but a lot of shows are like that, let us get to know the main cast before we get to meat and bones of the story and have episodes that establish the rules of this world instead of dumping a bunch of dialog on us and expecting us to know the answer!!! Seriously season one is supposed to start things off but the writers somehow manage to screw that up!!! Another thing I hate is that this show doesn't know what it's doing!! Like who is this show for???? The characters look like they could be in the 5th grade! The whole idea of best friends learning magic in a colorful fantasy world just Screams kid's show!! Seriously who is this show for? Young adults??! It has a 'warning' in the beginning, BUT NOTHING HAPPENS! It feels like they have blood and stabbing for shock value! And they say things like bastard and shit out of nowhere! And it feels so out of place..... and the fact that it was marketed as an 'anime' really sickens me.... because western and eastern entertainment have very different writing styles, you can call an apple an orange all you want! BUT IT WILL STILL BE AN APPLE.... either way I can see why this failed so bad

That was a nice video and a good way pointing out how to build interesting characters and what to avoid if someone doesn't want to create boring ones. Now I know why people doesn't really like this show. It's nice that this video wasn't hours long too, like moste of the videos that are looking critical at the show.

Nice video! You did a really good job analyzing the show. This is the first video of yours I’ve watched, but even with 398 subs you have more production quality than HGS. The only thing I have to argue about is that (while this is head cannon) maybe ‘the rot’ is not a well known thing in the HGS universe, and Thyme only knows due to it being her reason for leaving home. My assumption is that antagonists try to limit the knowledge as much as possible. I’ve only watched the show once through, and I was mostly distracted by the everything confusing about it, so who’s to say! :^)

I have been so tempted to watch videos on High Guardian Spice but all of them are like "Eww SJWs! Lol why are there no straight characters?!" I really wanted to see a video that wasn't biased against it due to it having a fairly diverse cast. That actually gave real criticism. You delivered on that. Thank you.

Duuuude,, an animation memer who also reviewed a whole cartoon? Heck yeah, definitely subscribing

I was really stunned when you said this was your first time doing a video like this and talking into a microphone for so long, this video was very well done and I was completely expecting to drive into dozens of more Indepth reviews of yours, i'm sad to see this really is the first I need more, also as someone who only specks English I had no trouble following along with everything you said I can't wait to see what more you come out with and I hope you continue to make more reviews like this in the near future!

Great review. Look forward to hearing more reviews from you!

Honestly when this was released I was actually really excited because I have a huge soft spot for magical shows.

This is a great vid , would love to see more of these :)

Great video. I’ve watched few videos on this show and this one gave the best idea on why the show has issues.

This is sort of random, but when I saw the thumbnail to the video, I didn’t see your hands and thought your hoodie sleeves were these cute red hand stubs

This is top quality! How are you only 400 subs?! I hope to see more amazing content!

I have an indescribable urge to rewrite the entire thing but as a story however, as an individual with no motivation, I will not do this unless someone wants me to. honestly just give me ideas and I'll probably do them

Thank you for this video! I love that you shared your thoughts on the current story and what could make it better. And I think your English is pretty good too, I wouldn't have guessed that you don't speak English for long periods of time if you didn't say so. Keep up the good work!

Thank you for teaching me how to write story , I needed that

Nice vid, I didn't even know it started as a comic on tumblur.

I might suspect the "it's the law" is a poorly delivered joke, like what's in a lot of other cartoons.

Good video, also may I say your voice is super calming

You made a lot of great points and I'm glad I listened, the show could be good but it falls short because it was rushed. When talking about the creators its obvious that they didn't have to many people with differing opinions, which helps shows with figuring out what is good and what's not good. Having the same opinion as everyone you work with in the studio can ruin what your working on, the art style looks like it could be good in a separate setting as they don't fit in a lot of scenes. Possibly going for a similar style to Amphibia and or Owl House for the settings that they visit would help with the characters conflicting designs. Regardless this show is a mess, it could have been okay, but that first trailer and the creators didn't help the show's reception.

i really love your art style for this video!

Great video and I'm glad this blew up because your channel definitely deserves it I just hope that the success of this video doesn't cause you to change genres into video essays because even though this was a very good one and I definitely would love to see more I have to admit after checking out your youtube channel after that offhand remark I just have to say that I adore the smoothness of your animations and all the energy you imbue your character's with and I guess it would just be a shame (for me especially considering how I just found you) if that talent got overshadowed in the long run with this other genre(which you also have talent for) but either way I'm excited to see where this channel goes and you've gained yourself a new subscriber(this is coming from someone who tends to be very stingy with their subscriptions) so once again congratulations on this great video and I look forward to seeing what else you make in the future now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go watch animal crossing and honeypie again

Hey I think your voice and accent are really cute and pleasing to the ear! You did very well for this being your first time. I definitely will be checking out more of your videos!

It makes me love my worldbuilding even more.

lovely video. Can wait to see you grow.

I have not watched a single episode of this anime but like, the clips and analyzes are more than enough lmao

This video is very well put together, dont know if this will be the general type of content you plan on making for this channel, but it seems like a promising small channel. You got a new sub

you should make more videos like this, this was poggers

Just found your video. Really nicely made. Would like to hear thoughts on other series or properties if you end up doing more.

Thank you for this video and your hard work. I'm happy you didn't dive into talking about the staff behind the show much, as I feel too many people simply based a lot of opinions based on that alone, which isn't fair, in my opinion. And a lot of other things I've seen just say "High Guardian Spice is BAD" but don't elaborate much past that. You did very well, I wouldn't mind hearing more reviews and such from you if you ever decide to do more.

Only 780 or so subs? goddamn with this quailty i would have expected 10x times more. Here's a sub for ya

Your artstyle and voice make an adorable combination

this is a very fair review...i like this one a lot

I have not watched your video yet, in a split second decision I decided to try and watch the show myself and got 5 minute in before realizing that the writers likely just adapted a tabletop role-playing session for their storyboard. I will be back after I'm done torturing myself.

Subscribed, nice video, it was fun to watch, kinda sad cuz the animation looks interesting and so does the music, F

Your English is great, great video! :)

Doing something for fun is the unwitting fasttrack to getting good at it. So long long as you don't forget to keep learning. :)

This was a really great video and a enjoy very much your points Congratulations for the video btw, as a non native english speaker I applause you for the whole video

wow, deine Stimme klingt sooo angenehm

11:45 Realizing that Sage knows this festival despite never having set foot outside her old home (since first ep emphasized that Rose and Sage realized how big the world is) so there's more questions like - So they also had this festival back home? How different is it? I wish we had flashbacks of how she and her fam experienced it - also does it mean Rose and her mom and dad also took part?

You know, another thing with the whole thing with Rosemary seriously hurting someone is that Olive _SHOULD_ have expected it because she was underestimating Rose, yet it just makes her feel petty besides just to make Rose feel bad, even if Olive did do some terrible things turning everyone else to stone.

I don't think you need to know a lot of story writing to see what the problem is with the show at large. First off it doesn't have strong narrative direction, due to a lack of focus on goals. It's not that goals are not in the show, but they are brought up and often ignored immediately, with little sensible action being taken by characters with said goals. Often this leads to poorly brought up, unrelated, or non-examples of conflict. On the other hand it also seems to want to be character driven. This puts the burden of intrigue on the characters, and let's run down about how well that works. First off pinky is static from start to end, she's just immature, bratty goku-lite, and nothing really dives deeper than that. Old school has one minor issue with wanting to have her mother's approval, and then changes pace and resolves that by a short pep talk from aunty about how gay magic is cool and her mom tried it before. So she flips 180 to being ok with noob magic. The emo one acts emo and yells at mommy. Not much to say about her character, it feels like a worse equivalent of like raven in the old teen Titans as her cynical nature isn't really unique to her in this show and the parental issues don't come across as as reasonable. We have short stack. She acts human. Not horrible, more or less throw to the back burner heavily and is stuck in a show lacking direction. And then we have snap dong off, that seems to be getting praised when it's just a matter of having 0 competition and easy to prefer over everyone he interacts with. Blondie is a douche, and so is the jealous girl and he just talks about being that overly judgemental as annoying, so opening speak for how the audience feels about how they think of the cast at that point. Then they cross dress, have someone act like a piece of shit, and have a teacher use that bullying to encourage transitioning which reeks of grooming. I think it's funny and ironic, because I don't hate the character, but the purpose here is to mostly be a political pander and voice of reason, and it's ironic to me that a show preaches super hard and outlines a kinda silly hierarchy that probably lines up with their political motives. For one both the trans confirmed characters act like they are the only genuinely rational characters in a show where a trans person is running things behind the scenes. Both times they are expected to be received as both victims of others ire and excused for their own actions due to an implied purity it seems. And one aims to groom and emotionally troubled teen, the other kinda explodes off at other people, verbally or violently, due to what the show considers a greater emotional maturity, despite the fact that this expresses impulsive need to ridicule and control others. Then you have the girls acting as either the only calm and stable competent characters. Or better yet, characters displaying overly stupid and demanding characteristics with heaps of judgment, to downright awful and rude to violent to others which is often played off for laughs. And then boys being either insufferably "toxic" with no further personality or completely harmless pretty much crybabies of little to no substance. In an ironic double whammy, Blondie that's portrays a toxic narcissist is in essence just pinky and old schools negative traits, with his appearance having old-school act just as possessive and sexist, and pinky later acting as controlling, obnoxious and self centered, but that's kinda ignored. On top of that the bully kid for snap just picks on the ginger in a fashion like pinky and emo end up doing a decent amount of time, and frankly violence against both of these characters is just ignored or praised, which frankly shows the immaturity to the political talking in the show. The other boys I mostly forgot, because they like introduced 2 of them with "I need to cry now" as their introduction or core character as if crying is the only way to display emotions in a childish fashion.

Like in Monty pythons “Get on with! Ya get on with it! (Everyone) Get on with it! (God) Get on with it!” 4:00

Im sorry but how the broccolo you are so underrated?!? You have now a new sub ✅

Your accent is cute and so is your drawings. Nice video!

the only good thing they have going for them are the character designs

das ist krank! gute arbeit!

Those 3 witches are basically rambling random bs because the writers though it would be cool and epic.

Every fantasy story that struggles with plot always has too much world building and not enough character development. Somehow this managed to have no world building which is a first for me.

0:24 those designs are so much cuter than the current ones (IM NOT TALKING ABT THE SKIN COLORS)

Great job on the Video

You did a very good job speaking English!

Great analysis! Your English is perfect in many ways and the only issue I had is that your voice sometimes went low and ran words together. At those points I couldn't differentiate what some of the words you said were (so I just went back and listened again). You could try pausing between sentences so that you could take a breath and start speaking again with full strength. That might prevent your voice going too low. English is a stress timed language which is why little things like how you emphasize words are important. Still, your vocabulary, grammar, and how you express yourself are excellent :^)

Your doing fine keep uploading your good

You have excellent music taste

I appreciate this video.

Not me watching ANOTHER video of High Guardian Spice without even watching the actual show. I just want to have fun 😄

You have an extremely nice voice. I think people will be drawn to that. Regarding your English, just maybe get someone to tell you which syllables to emphasize. I'll be on the lookout for more.

you deserve more subs

You’re talking about HGS, this should be good.

I thought of how to rewrite High Guardian Spice giving at a better plot and worldbuilding and I actually ended up cutting parsley. I just don't feel like, while her character is really balanced, she doesn't tie in with any storyline that the overall world has. She is that one character in a dnd Campaign that just kinda tags along for the adventure and has no specific reason to actually interact with any other character or help move the story along because it doesn't concern her Edit: this is to 22:02

I'm really late here but I personally think high guardian spice was just some artists following their dreams of being animators, and clearly by their feedback they should know by now that they weren't ready to make it. They had no proper plot, character development, animation, and the whole entire thing in itself. This will put a reputation on whatever future plans they might have in mind, but they *should have* learned from their mistakes and retry for a better start. It shows that they didn't have the proper confidence or motivation to properly make the animation, they have the capabilities to draw yet are too careless to check for mistakes, making a comic might have been a better choice for them as its much simpler and easier for them to explain their storyline and really give the audience a feeling of what they were trying to express. Plus if they did, in fact, make a comic, it might have been easier for them to convert it into an anime series since they'd have a better idea of how they should make their story plot go if they did in fact check over what they did. i actually have nothing more to say, and nobody is going to read this so peace out.
