Maybe they can pull a fucking Gintama action and just show the story board and have the characters tell the viewers that the animators didn't make the deadline :)

Or just show the VAs speaking while waving paper cutout characters.
Also, I could totally see an episode of Blue Lock presented in powerpoint.
They can probably afford to make at least one episode of the official anime look like a Soviet era bootleg
alleged that 90% of animators quit their jobs in three years
Insane number. But not implausible to me. Bad working environments with impossible schedules do that.
I wish they would improve working conditions. As an industry, or through regulation because evidently, the industry doesn't.
To finance it - I wish they would make anime more easily accessible and buyable.
Less oppressive checkboxed mass/standard productions would surely improve what we see as products too.
I believe most game dev studios have similar levels of turnover for new developers. I guess it shouldn't be surprising, both industies rely on the passion of their employees to get products out the door, while under-paying and overworking them.
The source the article gets that 90% statistic from, the anime dormitory project, is actually a pretty good charity if you're looking for ways to support animators and their working conditions. Right now they're subsidizing housing for more than 10 animators, and I think there's a fundraiser still running at the moment that's trying to make real change to improve the industry's working standards overall. Here's a recent YouTube video they made on the subject.
This does tend to happen when global economies begin failing.
Re:Zero isn't going to be remotely wrapped up by the time the Japanese economy collapses, is it 😭
That's right about the time No Game No Life S2 is scheduled for production
They could invest in their own domestic animators instead of paying them scraps while demanding a lot. Maybe they'd stick around then and you won't need to outsource anymore.
I think this is largely of problem of their own making
I recently watched Back Street Girls: Gokudols, which has a very low frame and animation count. It still worked well as a comedy. It was enough.
Not that I want anime to be that way, but it can work for some.
Every season, there are some shows that have bottom-of-the-barrel art quality and framerates.
But when I say that, the quality at the lower end of production is about comparable to the old school broadcast TV shows, just not up to today's high standards.
