anime production has become very difficult

episode 23 had 60 animators
episode 24 had 90+

This is not normal. This is the cavalry coming in to save a troubled production.

And it's not just Gwitch.

Several anime had indefinite delays. Nier Automata is still delayed.
Oshi no Ko, probably the 4th or 5th biggest manga hit in Japan right now was only given an 11 episode anime.

Gundam Witch having 2 cours despite the state of the industry is rather miraculous.
I don't expect we'll ever get a 4 cour Gundam show ever again.

It seems only Toei is the only studio who can produce multiple cour anime reliably nowadays.
