I really enjoyed LycoReco too! One of my favourites of the season, and I'm surprised to see it on HN.

One thing sakuga blog hammers in every article is how chaotic production is. It's a miracle that shows of this quality get produced at all. I get the general sense it's largely a result of passion and connections - the star director here pulled in friends and prior coworkers, and even his wife, to help make the show what it is. And I doubt they got paid much or anything at all.

You can see that in the writing - it is all over the place and nonsensical at times. But somehow the overall show still works, which is pretty amazing for an original.

Especially given what's known about production budgets and animator pay. Those people do amazing work for the conditions they work under.
