@cyberarf Considering it was Spindle who revealed it, I personally kinda doubt HS was holding onto this for a rainy day, though I can imagine they'd have preferred better timing lol.

That said, I'm of a mixed opinion. I think the animation looks great, the music is fun, and I could definitely get used to the voices. (Haven't seen anyone mention Richard Horvitz on voice direction, which is oddly perfect.) That said, I'm not the biggest fan of Vivzie or Spindle in general, and I can't see HS being adapted in a satisfying way in the shortform without MASSIVE changes to accommodate. Part of me would almost prefer they pull a Scott Pilgrim Takes Off and veer into a wild new direction, rather than worry about trying to cram thousands of pages of comic into 20 minute episodes.
