It is absolutely bonkers to me that I only made 6 episodes of something that cinched best directing and motherf-ing BEST ANIMATED SERIES Emmys. What a botched opportunity, Netflix, sheesh. https://t.co/9bAHM1n3JU

City of Ghosts creator Elizabeth Ito has some harsh words for Netflix after her show wins big. Hearing she only got to make 6 episodes and it did so well, is well kind of sad.
If you read the social media feed many animators aren't happy over how Netflix's Cuphead says it keeps getting another season. They just break it down into seasons it was huge order of episodes that was put into production.
However, it's not like we've been hearing great stuff from any other animation division. We remember how Animaniacs's staff over on Hulu wasn't told it was the final season and therefore didn't give it a proper ending.
I can't think of any studio that's fucked up as royally as Netflix did with this. Something that won that many big things for so few eps, I've just never witnessed, ironically, such a hardcore ghosting of a project.
