I feel really odd about this show. I kind of like Snapdragon's design and wish he was just a femboy of some sort. But on the other hand, this looks pretty terrible.

The video is getting so mocked online they responded on Twitter.

Kind of dilutes your point when you have to pretend the person making the video is talking about something else in order to win the argument. I don't agree with Joe on everything, but at least engage in good faith if you give a shit.

It strikes me as a video less about HGS and more about “these people I don’t like are mocking this show I also don’t like, but I’m mad that people I don’t like are doing it.”

So basically unless it was going to be a red herring and they were gonna end up saying new magic is totally good and pure in the end they've accidentally written

So that tron magic is part of nu magic, which is causing a environmental decay....

Also laughing at the fact that the guardian school burned down.

I don't understand that string of ebonics at all but the video has 234 downvotes to it's 7.1K upvotes. Dude's obviously sensitive if this gets his goat.

Because people like him only notice when people don't like his garbage. No amount of asskissing or likes can make them happy if even ONE person leaves a dislike.

I always find that strange. Youtube videos could get 700 likes to 200 dislikes, and then the youtubers go "I seem to have ruffled some feathers with that last video!". Like, yeah. SOME feathers. As in, more people liked your thing than they hated it. Why not just ignore them?

I took Snapdragon and the two other male-punching bags, and overhauled their characterization and designs, wrote some plot points/major character interactions with them for them over 4 days and some hard tea.

Was there a point to doing all of this? Not particularly. Will I make something of this? Maybe, if I had a good week or two free of any commitments, I could hammer out a decent, albeit cliche-ish story. Was it fun to do? Very, and I would happily do it again. And here's some of what I got. View attachment 2963320

Edit: Gotta say, thanks to this godawful show, it got me outta the creative funk I've been battling with. Actual serious writing for a change, with outlines and the like. Will it be good? Probably not, but I'm at least gonna have someone not coddle my crap and actually edit it.

My hats off to the absolute baboons at Crunchyroll Studios for inspiration, and a very sincere thanks to all you fine Kiwis that told me to keep going.

Totally vouch your efforts, man!
 
I decided to hate watch this show out of curiosity (don’t ask me how let’s just say crunchy roll was kind enough to give me a review copy) and this show is bad but it strikes me as a different kind of bad. This felt like a money laundering scheme rather than a creative project. I felt almost scammed watching this because nothing about it screams professional or that it’s even properly budgeted. It feels like this was made as cheaply as possible so CR or whoever the fuck is getting any kind of profit out of it gets to pocket the remains of the proposed budget or they get clean cartel money or something. There’s no way professional suits looked at this and said, “Yeah, that will definitely get us subs.” They have to be on some shadowy payroll.
 
I watched so many review videos on High Guardian Spice.
To my slight embarrassment, I feel that I can recap the general story of the series without having actually watched the programme itself.

Either way, there are a couple of interesting videos on thi series.
The following is one that goes into the background of the series, him actually having talked to the people who actually worked on the series.

The host of the first video has an unbearable cadence, can I get a TL;DW?

In short: turns ou that Crunchyroll had a worse influence over the series than we thought. They really were crunched in several ways (including only having a handful of months of production) before Crunchyroll put out a terrible, pandering trailer, shelved the series anyways (while not letting the people who worked on the series take advantage of the delay at launch), and released the series after everything blew over. Most of the other Crunchyroll Originals were actually outsourced t other companies, whereas High Guardian Spice was in-house. A lot of people who worked on the series wanted to explain, but Crunchyroll would not le them.

Oh, and even the people who worked on High Guardian Spice disliked the pandering trailer.
