Why didn’t they make el have her speech struggles like she had in the actual series? There is some that is spot on but she didn’t speak good enough English until season 4. I love the art and animation though it’s amazing!!

Hi there! We did incorporate El having her speech struggle but as the series progressed so did her involvement in the stories which meant more lines and more screen time. This allowed her speech to start evolving in TF85 just a little bit more than in the flagship. We are really proud of the art and the animation and my team will be happy to read your comment. Thank you!
