I don't get why a staff member said that openly and why Sakugablog is writting about it without getting an official confirmation. Even if it's true, they should not reveal it or discuss about it before the team itself or the producers confirms it.
So they can drop AoT and not the other projects? I don't know how it works but it would be hypocrite from them to choose other projects over AoT while they were mainly recognized for that. If they hadn't done Aot, they wouldn't have produce Kabaneri (they even wouldn't get the idea to do Kabaneri since they've copied AoT), a lot of people watched it because it has the same staff, otherwise people wouldn't had paid attention to it, they wouldn't have been asked to do some adaptation like Owari no Seraph or The Ancient Magus Bride if they hadn't become popular with AoT...
And how don't they get money with that? It's not feasible for them? Then the production commitee should do something, if they can't drop other projects, they should delay it, after all they delayed season 2 right?
I don't know how it works indeed but even with what you said, I think it would be the worst decision to drop AoT before it ends, it would be disrespectful towards the fans and really hypocritical from Wit since they got recognition thanks to their work on AoT.
Because it was not "openly said" as in announced. Staff members talk with each other believe or not and they are informed about such scheduled changes in advance. For someone to pick up on it and casually drop it in a conversations, well that happens. There have been many credible sources now and Sakugablog reporting on it is essentially the last confirmation you need prior to the official one as they have direct ties into the industry.
Yes they can drop it like that since they're merely employed to produce it. They have no direct connection or reliance to it whatsoever. So obviously they would drop it if it's not feasible to produce anymore and prioritize projects that they're also in the committee for so for example their own original Kabaneri. Also you seem to confuse something. AOT certainly did not make "them" do Kabaneri. It was Araki's pipedream to do it and so he went to make his baby.
They do get money but it's not all too different to any other production, it's a set fee. They're not in the committee so they're not gaining profit proportional to the show's success. It may have been popular but they've not seen increased returns due to that. You're asking a singular committee to change an approach that has worked for the last few decades because a show dear to you is suddenly suffering from its system...yea it doesn't work like that even tho I wholheartedly understand and share your sentiment. Unless Wit actively invests into the IP and takes the risk they won't see increased returns, that's just how it is.
"They" did not delay anyting, the committee did. And it's about a lot more tan just having too much projects. They simply can't tackle a production like this anymore. Wanpack's fallout from the industry was the first hint to that.
Well, not to be rude...but I trust that their intern staff knows what's better for them than you or anyone here, really.
