Amazon studios executives had to send Bezos regular updates on the projects in development that included spreadsheets describing how each show had each story element; and if one element was missing, they had to explain why.

storytelling is when you're ticking boxes in a checklist, and the more boxes you tick, the more storytelling you're doing

    That's because bad anime literally hires writers from webnovel sites, I was fucking floored when I saw that, given my last interaction with the webnovel community was someone asking for a critique of their "skeleton mage harem novel" and a second person said they would do it so long as they got a critique of their Nazi lolicon story (which they had commissioned art for). Anime studios hire the Japanese versions of those dudes.

    I felt like I was Bill Hicks in the Waffle House where he reads a book and the waitress says "why read when ya got the telly right here?" while the old redneck in front of him says "well well well, looks like we got ourselves a READIN' boy". Anyway fight against that shit by reading Urasaria Academy, it rocks.
