"If that's the case, then Principal Xu, your Westlight University's animation department should strive to show your specialties in anime. Who knows, maybe our animation department at Mist City Arts and Science University will also need to learn from your animation department at Westlight University."
What Ding Yue just said is not a compliment, but a realistic one.
There is indeed a significant gap between creating an animated series and an animated film, especially concerning rhythm and budget control aspects.
Creating animated films comes with high costs, so you can refine them a bit more. In the case of anime series, the budget is limited unless a big boss generously provides enough budget, allowing you to produce it at the level of an animated film.
But when it comes to the series, the rhythm is completely different from that of animated films.
