What happened? Why did it end like that?
life's a bitch
>>24023899Both Kokusai Eiga-sha and Takatoku ran out of money, shortening the amount of episodes they can cough up. They even pulled a Dorvack and made the replacement too similar to the original.
>>24023899Compilation episode was to pad out the episode count to 53 (when actual finale was 52), something about the follow-up program starting a week late so there had to be something extra in Srungle's slot.
>>24023916Srungle was sponsored by Clover and Aoshima though. The former was dead by the show's midpoint because their Dunbine toys also sucked.
>>24023950That would be Galvion. The earliest versions of its design even came from a unused Srungle II.
>>24023916What happened with Dorvack?
>>24024134They didn't make their dollars back.
>>24024134tank guy gets killed and replaced with someone who looks almost similar but is a total charisma void in comparison
>>24024139I've heard part of the reason for Srungle replacing Superstar with Sugar was because Suzuoki was in demand as a voice actor. Which is funny in hindsight because Ryusei Nakao played Sugar but didn't hit it big until years later.
>>24024125Was this timeslot cursed?
>>24024314From what I've read, the network was happy with Srungle's ratings and allowed it to continue for a full year despite losing its toy sponsor midway through. Galvion's cancelation had more to do with Takatoku's sudden collapse and Imai, Arii, and LS seeing diminishing returns on everything post Macross. Remember thar Orguss and Mospeada were not seen as successes.
