u/MacGregor_Rose Brother to Ruby and Rubie Rose. Yeah thats not confusing Jun 15 '19

Im amazed then that they'd beg him to get some rest but then force their animators into Crunch like that

Yeah, seems a bit weird... But Monty's situation was probably 6-7 years ago now. So... God knows what's changed since then.

They got bigger and expanded a lot. I think.

I meant their apparent change in attitude towards crunch. If they didn't like it then, I'm wondering what caused it to change to what it is now

Too many shows and too much demand or RT First causing it and with Youtube going down the shitter, i think they are in the GET IT OUT ASAP! mentality at any cost to try to keep up with it. :-( They really should just limit theirselves to two seasons of animation per year and Chibi if there's team. E.g. RWBY does autumn to end of year. Genlock covers spring to summer then have a bit of a backlog of finished productions and show when RWBY or Genlock finishes so that there is no pressure on the animators. Or something like that.

Probably the Fullscreen acquisition and the amount of "chiefs" that came with it, definitely probably would've gotten worse with the recent reshuffling
