about genre:

"Azumanga Daioh is often seen as having formed the foundation for the “cute girls doing cute things” subgenre of anime, and even after all this time, it’s still just as great as the anime to follow in its footsteps, if not greater." https://screenrant.com/best-shonen-anime-not-based-on-jump-manga/
"Sometimes, these pioneering youngsters will try their hand at a new passion or hobby, whether for fun or to achieve rather inspiring feats of their own. This subgenre of “cute girls doing cute hobbies” has exploded in popularity in recent years. Here are a few that make a great watch, and who knows, maybe you’ll be inspired to pick up their chosen hobby too!" https://www.crunchyroll.com/news/guides/2022/7/2/recs-5-anime-about-cute-girls-doing-cute-hobbies-youll-want-to-try-too
"A group of adorable, possibly moe (cute in a way to elicit wholesome affection) female characters, often still school age, coming together to explore a hobby that they love and foster, and strengthen friendships along the way. This is the core of the “Cute Girls Doing Cute Things” (“CGDCT” for short) category used by anime fans to describe these shows. " (noted the evolution of the genre since early 2000s) https://shadestudios.com/f/anime-spotlight---the-evolution-of-%E2%80%9Ccute-girls-doing-cute-things?blogcategory=Anime
"CGDCT anime showcase girls doing normal, carefree activities without a significant plot while focusing on humor and relationships. Some CGDCT anime involve hobbies or clubs, like YuruYuri's Amusement Club or K-On!'s band, but the plot is secondary to character dynamics. Laid-Back Camp features picturesque scenes of the Japanese countryside and simple but memorable moments with friends." [1]
"Anime is a medium with a plethora of genres, but none are quite as specific as the genre Cute Girls Do Cute Things. It's a specific subgenre of slice-of-life anime that is popular enough to garner its own theme tag on MyAnimeList. Although the term is usually associated with the early 2000s and 2010s moe culture, the genre has begun to come back with the recent trend of slice-of-life and romance taking the forefront in the anime mainstream. But what separates Cute Girls Do Cute Things, often shortened to CGDCT, from other slice-of-life anime with female protagonists? Where did it start, and what kept it going? And of course, why is it seeing a resurgence? CGDCT is a very specific subgenre of slice-of-life and may not be for everyone, but it is not one to be overlooked." [2]
"And shows within that sort of “cute girls doing cute things,” that school genre, kind of speak to wanting to be part of that. Now, because of this film, I’ve had to really immerse myself into anime imagery and anime aesthetics and subculture stuff so much more than I ever had to before." https://brill.com/view/journals/fem/aop/article-10.1163-29501229-bja10001/article-10.1163-29501229-bja10001.xml?Tab+Menu=abstract
"I love the Cute Girls Doing Cute Things sub-genre of slice of life: I live for seeing a bunch of teenage girls living their best life." - https://www.animefeminist.com/smile-of-the-arsnotoria-the-animation-episode-1/]
many types within genre--"There are two kinds of “cute girls doing cute things” shows. Some are built on archetypes that bear little resemblance to how real girls act and think. Others portray more authentic relationships and emotions, with care to make them relatable and interesting." - https://www.animefeminist.com/review-comic-girls-episode-1/
"Sometimes, we just have a bad day. Or week. Naturally, we turn to some comfort anime to soothe our souls.. In my case, I have had a bad 2023. As I sat on my sofa, unable to do much due to severe Long Covid brain fog which made me incapable of concentration, I desperately turned towards a genre of anime I usually don't watch – slice-of-life anime. Or, as my crowd tends to refer to it, “Cute girls doing cute things cutely.” "- https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2023-10-23/the-joy-of-the-everyday-emotional-intimacy-between-women-in-slice-of-life-anime/.201490
"There are some genuinely nice moe shows out there, but it seems lately too many people are trying to cash in on 'cute girls doing cute things in cute ways'; many of the newer shows seem 'empty' or like pale imitations"- https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/answerman/2007-09-14
"We've all seen how harem shows and 'cute girls doing cute things' shows get a lot of flack in recent years. They're derided for high amounts of fanservice, single trait characters, lack of plot, and so on."- https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/answerman/2011-04-15
" "Cute girls doing cute things" shows tend to run on non-issues blown out of proportion, but even by those standards, this is fluffy and contrived. It also doesn't speak to any underlying fault for either girl, but the show insists that it does." https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/wish-upon-the-pleiades/episode-7/.88425
"Nippon Animation's Let's Make a Mug Too was something of a sleeper hit for those who, like me, are devout fans of the “cute girls doing cute things” slice-of-life sub-genre" https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/let-make-a-mug-too/episodes-1-12/.176625
"CGDCT, or “Cute Girls Doing Cute Things,” is a genre in anime that usually revolves around a high school setting where cute girls in school uniforms talk about love, discuss fashion, go shopping, share a hobby, and do other things without a single guy in sight. One of the great advantages of CGDCT is that it's a very versatile genre that can easily mesh with other genres. By its very nature, it pairs really well with slice-of-life anime (examples include Gabriel DropOut and Lucky Star), but it can also work with comedy (Asobi Asobase) and even horror (School-Live!)." https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2022-04-20/why-girls-und-panzer-works-so-well/.183891
"Out of the gate, K-ON! Shuffle seems uneven by modern standards. The original K-On! was foundational to the "Cute Girls Doing Cute Things" concept, although the genre really has evolved since that period, exemplified in the likes of the razor-sharp iyashikei execution of Laid-Back Camp or the hard-hitting personal attacks of Bocchi the Rock!." https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/seasonal/2023/spring/k-on-shuffle/.196680

not within the genre:

Mentioned in Erica Friedman's Okazu (often called "cute girls doing cute things cutely"), with examples including Laid-Back Camp (https://okazu.yuricon.com/2024/03/23/yuri-network-news-%e7%99%be%e5%90%88%e3%83%8d%e3%83%83%e3%83%88%e3%83%af%e3%83%bc%e3%82%af%e3%83%8b%e3%83%a5%e3%83%bc%e3%82%b9-march-23-2024/), Hana wa Saku, Shura no Gotoku (https://okazu.yuricon.com/2024/07/27/yuri-network-news-%e7%99%be%e5%90%88%e3%83%8d%e3%83%83%e3%83%88%e3%83%af%e3%83%bc%e3%82%af%e3%83%8b%e3%83%a5%e3%83%bc%e3%82%b9-july-27-2024/), Tsukiko ha Bakakawa (https://okazu.yuricon.com/2009/01/14/yuri-manga-yuri-hime-s-volume-7/),

criticism:

"...I find that it has some derisive undertones, but more to the point, it’s one of those fandom terms that has been overused to the point of diluting its meaning"- https://www.animefeminist.com/girls-doing-stuff-agency-and-motivation-in-girls-hobby-shows/
"Hobby anime have come a long way since the derivative term “cute girls doing cute things” was coined to describe any anime about four-or-so high school girls hanging out. But boy, does Asteroid in Love take me right back to the kind of show that phrase described"- https://www.animefeminist.com/2020-winter-three-episode-check-in/],
"Of the several, Yuri, Yuri-adjacent and Yuri-adjacent-adjacent series (which I differentiate internally from “Cute Girls Doing Cute Things Cutely’ series, which is why I keep using phrases as ridiculous as “Yuri-adjacent-adjacent”) we have enjoyed this season, one stands above the rest in doing that rarest of anime achievements – sticking the landing." https://okazu.yuricon.com/2024/06/30/train-to-the-end-of-the-world-season-finale/
"Doki Doki Literature Club was made by the US company Team Salvato, but it uses images and content modelled on Japanese dating games. In an October 2017, the Kotaku website reported that the game's writer and lead developer, Dan Salvato, had a 'love/hate' relationship to anime and felt that the trope of 'cute girls doing cute things' could be both positive and negative." https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2018-06-30/bbc-report-on-doki-doki-literature-club-game-controversy/.133608
"Although he’s clearly a huge anime fan, he described his relationship to the genre as “love/hate,” saying that he feels like the trope of “cute girls doing cute things,” can be both an asset and detriment to shows. Some people love the anime aesthetic, while others are very put off by it." https://kotaku.com/doki-doki-literature-clubs-horror-was-born-from-a-love-1819724999

"Warlords of Sigrdrifa has always struck me as a show that's at odds with itself. Even as it presents a serious story about coming to terms with death and survivor's guilt, it's constantly padded by cute girls doing cute things. Still, the range of expression wasn't so stark that it made it hard to believe that all of these events occur within the same setting. That is, until this episode." https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/warlords-of-sigrdrifa/episode-4/.165622
"If you've been distracted by all the monster girl hijinks, this episode serves as a reminder that this is still very much a slice of life series. Most of this episode's plot points come straight out of the “cute girls doing cute things” playbook, even if they are presented with a bit of demi-human flair." https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/interviews-with-monster-girls/episode-8/.112706
"But for the rest of us, it's basically devolved into the classic anime fallback of “cute girls doing cute things”—and that's not enough to support the show. " https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/princess-connect-re-dive/episode-4/.159059
"Now that we're halfway through the series, one thing has become quite clear to me: I am not the target audience for this series. Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear is light, happy fluff. It wants to revel in cute girls doing cute things as they overcome only the smallest of conflicts. But more than that, these conflicts are almost always resolved in the happiest way possible." (https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/kuma-kuma-kuma-bear/episode-6/.166246)
"Gourmet Girl Graffiti will still appeal mainly to fans of cute girls doing cute things, but it may end up being more memorable for fans of detailed animation. There's a “labor of love” quality to the way this show depicts the cooking process, but that may not be enough to carry the series for the many viewers. It does one thing extremely well, but is merely average at just about everything else." (https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/gourmet-girl-graffiti/episode-3/.83685)
"Joshiraku shows no fear in tackling that most maligned of comedy subgenres—cute girls doing cute things." (https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/preview-guide/2012/the-summer-anime/carlo)

"$20 a month isnt an obscene price to pay for something I use every day that nets me almost my entire income," Fawnduu told Newsweek. "Most people spend double this every month on entertainment apps. Pay $20 and you can use as little or as much as you want for an entire month."- https://www.newsweek.com/twitter-artists-are-aghast-adobe-doubles-basic-photography-plan-price-1413537 - "My Dragon Girlfriend is an adorable Webtoon comic about a girl named Christy who meets Dani, a dragon girl who disguises herself to look like a human.

Notes on Rebecca Sugar and beyond to use somewhere

On April 5, 2010, Adventure Time began with the broadcast of the episode "Slumber Party Panic" on the network. When Rebecca Sugar joined the show as a storyboarder,^[1] she quickly became aware of the message of exclusion that was being told to kids by omitting LGBTQ+ characters.^[2]

She began working hard to put "LGBTQIA characters in G-rated content" in the years to follow. The show introduced viewers to two queer characters: Marceline the Vampire Queen and Princess Bubblegum. Sugar tried to foster the relationship between these two characters through her work on the show,^[3]

Initially, while many of these queer themes were worked into episodes as subtext (so as to avoid controversy or network censorship), later episodes—such as the series finale "Come Along with Me" and the Distant Lands special "Obsidian"—openly expanded on these themes, bringing them to the forefront of the series' plot.^[4]^[5]^[6]

Some argued that the on-screen confirmation of the same-sex romance showed that the "cartoon landscape has changed during Adventure Time's run,"^[7]^[8]

inviting viewers to re-examine the past interactions of Bonnie and Marcy "through a queer lens," while Mey Rude in Them noted the series impact on the animation world and TV industry.^[9]

Rude also argued that without the show, there would be no Steven Universe, Clarence, Summer Camp Island, or Rick and Morty. While some said the show made "great strides for gay fans,"^[10]

The same year, Sugar spoke about her desire to create an LGBTQ show, which had gained a cult following largely made up of LGBT kids and young adults, that was accessible to young children.^[11] Additionally,

Steven Universe began airing on Cartoon Network on November 4, 2013. It came at a time that people were unhappy at the portrayal of LGBTQ+ characters on TV and were calling for better representation.^[12]

The groundwork for the show had been set the previous year,^[13]

with much of the show, including the final seasons mapped out already.^[14] During the creation of the show, Sugar was influenced by the video game The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and the One Piece anime.^[15]

The show, tailored to appeal to queer youth, focused on themes such as bisexuality, same-sex attraction, trauma, grief, consent, and many other complex subjects in its run of over five seasons and 160 episodes,^[1] continuing Sugar's work of moving "LGBT stories from the margins into the mainstream."^[16]

The show was also Cartoon Network's first show "created solely by a woman"^[17]^[18] and having overly queer themes.

The voice actor for Marcy, Olivia Olson pulled back her response that Bonnie and Marcy dated, with some noting that saying that international versions of Cartoon Network have censored Adventure Time episodes, with small moments in the show creating stories for characters "that exist outside of the heavily gendered norms of children's television."^[19]

Sugar proudly highlighted this representation. She talked about how the show played "with the simiotics of gender" in children's cartoons,^[20] and

She recognized that LGBTQ+ representation allowed LGBTQ+ people to see a "reflection of themselves...in mainstream entertainment," with LGBTQ+ representation in media for children increasing in recent years.^[21]^[22] The following year, Sugar, come out as bisexual^[23] at the show's panel at that year's San Diego Comic-Con, become more vocal about "the need for LGBTQ narratives in children's television," translating to the show itself, beginning to push for more episodes.^[13]

with some calling the show "the most inclusive and most influential" animated show of the 2010s.^[24]

This finale was praised by some fans for its "transgender subtext," with some reviewers pointing out how Steven's struggles were similar to those trans people face.^[25]

On September 3, 2019, Steven Universe: The Movie was broadcast on Cartoon Network,^[15]^[13] attracting over 1.5 million viewers.^[26]^[1]

In 2020, a writer for Paper Magazine, Matt Moen, stated that conversations that year about LGBTQ representation would not have happened without the show, noting that the show had a unique ability to "tackle complex and nuanced topics like mental health, family and relationships made it beloved among both younger and older audiences," building a huge following at "the peak of the Tumblr fandom era."^[5] Moen also stated that Sugar set a precedent with the show that queer characters and queer stories were "valid but viable and even desirable by viewers." Sugar said that she was able to do with Garnet, Ruby, and Sapphire, noted how they used the idea of fusion to explore relationships, including those which were queer, with the studio telling them they couldn't have the characters in a romantic relationship, and that she was told that she couldn't discuss it publicly, which made her extremely stressed.^[5]

On March 27, 2020, the four-part finale of its limited epilogue series of Steven Universe, Steven Universe Future, aired on Cartoon Network. Ideas about the series end dated back to drawings in 2013.^[26] Sugar argued that the series made a point about shoune anime and kids cartoons, with the aftermath of victories generally not explored, stating that the series explores the aftermath of the victory in the Season 5 finale, with the protagonist, Steven, having to face his problems head-on.^[26]^[27]^[28]

When Steven Universe Future ended, Sugar said she would take a break from the characters,^[13] with some saying that shows like She-Ra and the Princesses of Power would continue moving forward LGBTQ representation in animation.^[14] For her part, the series creator of She-Ra, Noelle Stevenson, stated that she is interested in "telling central queer stories," with queer characters just as supporting characters, but having stories built around them, adding that there is still progress to go on that front, while acknowledging the strides are "in no small part due to Steven Universe."^[14] Others hoped for "more queer-friendly animated shows" like Steven Universe in the future^[29] and described Sugar as the "guiding force behind bringing LGBTQ+ visibility to children's cartoons" from 2010 to 2020.^[1]

This page is less than 50,000 characters, falling under WP:BETTER#SIZE

Per MOS:LEAD: "The lead should stand on its own as a concise overview of the article's topic. It should identify the topic, establish context, explain why the topic is notable, and summarize the most important points, including any prominent controversies. The notability of the article's subject is usually established in the first few sentences. As in the body of the article itself, the emphasis given to material in the lead should roughly reflect its importance to the topic, according to reliable, published sources. Apart from basic facts, significant information should not appear in the lead if it is not covered in the remainder of the article. As a general rule of thumb, a lead section should contain no more than four well-composed paragraphs and be carefully sourced as appropriate." Also via MOS:OPEN, MOS:LEADREL, and MOS:INTRO.

Per MOS:FIRST, "the first sentence should tell the nonspecialist reader what, or who, the subject is. It should be in plain English. Be wary of cluttering the first sentence with a long parenthesis containing alternative spellings, pronunciations, etc., which can make the sentence difficult to actually read; this information can be placed elsewhere."

Per MOS:BOOKPLOT, "according to the policy WP:No original research § Primary, secondary and tertiary sources, "A primary source may only be used on Wikipedia to make straightforward, descriptive statements of facts that can be verified by any educated person with access to the primary source but without further, specialized knowledge. ... Do not analyze, evaluate, interpret, or synthesize material found in a primary source yourself; instead, refer to reliable secondary sources that do so.""

Per WP:WAF, "maintain balanced coverage: all relevant aspects must be given due weight in all elements of the article, including text, images, layout, and even the article title. Avoid lists of fictional events or trivia. Instead, incorporate relevant information into the article as prose, and discard information that is either redundant or unnecessary to understanding that topic. If a fictional topic is not covered in several independent, reliable, secondary sources, then it probably should not have its own article."

Per MOS:FICTIONAL, "Articles about fiction, like all Wikipedia articles, should use the real world as their primary frame of reference. As such, the subject should be described from the perspective of the real world, in which the work of fiction (work for short) and its publication are embedded. To achieve this, editors must use both primary and secondary information."

Per MOS:SO, an article's content should "begin with an introductory lead section – a concise summary of the article – which is never divided into sections...The remainder of the article is typically divided into sections."

Per MOS:HEAD, section headings should "be unique within a page" and not refer back to "the subject of the article" by MOS:SECTIONSTYLE.

Per MOS:IM, an "image's |alt= text takes the image's place for those who are unable to see the image. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Alternative text for images."

Per MOS:CAPTION, "Most captions are not complete sentences but merely sentence fragments which should not end with a period. However, if any complete sentence occurs in a caption, then every sentence and every sentence fragment in that caption should end with a period."

Raye Rodriguez

Rodriguez is voice of Professor Caraway, Dragon, Evil Trabers, and Kino^[30]

Rodriguez: "The backstories of each of the girls have become a lot more fleshed out as the years went along, but the core of each girl is pretty similar to what it was when I came up with High Guardian Spice back in 2013"; "... There’s some violence, blood and curse words later on that I think are more on par with Naruto -- stuff that’s normal in shounen anime but never shown in American kids cartoons"; "I thought it’d be fun to have HGS’s ending sequence have that same kind of slice-of-life, storybook feel. I did all of the character drawings for the ending art, and one of our BG painters/color stylists James Batrez drew and painted the backgrounds! I wanted to show what the girls' lives are like off-screen :)"- https://www.cbr.com/interview-raye-rodriguez-high-guardian-spice/

favorite magical girl anime: Princess Tutu - https://www.cbr.com/interview-raye-rodriguez-high-guardian-spice/

Rodriguez: "...I’m developing a brand new animated adult drama [for Legendary] that I am very excited about. I’ve had the characters from that show in my head since I was in middle school, so it’s a real dream come true to finally bring them to life! It’s a show that’s unlike anything I’ve seen in American animated TV before, so I’m VERY STOKED!" - https://www.cbr.com/interview-raye-rodriguez-high-guardian-spice/

Rodriguez: "...Growing up I wanted to be a comic book artist, then a voice actor, then a movie director… It wasn't until I went to NYU for Film & TV that I realized that I didn't enjoy being on set, and was much happier behind a drawing tablet than a camera. I was in college during what I think of as a golden age in TV animation, when Adventure Time was in its early seasons and Gravity Falls was coming out, and I was so inspired by these shows that it made me want to follow in their footsteps and make TV cartoons as well"- https://www.thegamer.com/high-guardian-spice-interview-raye-rodriguez-crunchyroll/

Rodriguez: "I created High Guardian Spice in 2013. It started as a 5-minute storyboard pitch for Frederator while I was interning there. It didn’t get picked up, but it gave me my first real experience pitching, and I’m forever grateful for that! The show has grown a lot since then, but the core of the characters and relationships are the same. Since that first pitch I used Rosemary in my college thesis film “Treasure Hunt” and then continued to develop HGS and pitch it every opportunity I got."- https://www.thegamer.com/high-guardian-spice-interview-raye-rodriguez-crunchyroll/

Rodriguez: "Eventually I pitched it to Crunchyroll in 2016 and they liked it a lot, though they didn’t have the bandwidth at the time to make it as a show. We started developing it as a comic in 2017, then I repitched it to them as a show when Marge Dean started at the company in 2018, and it quickly changed from comic to TV show! It was a very unusual process."- https://www.thegamer.com/high-guardian-spice-interview-raye-rodriguez-crunchyroll/

Rodriguez: "I’m a queer Cuban trans guy so we’re in a similar boat! Having diverse representation is very important to me in the work I create."- https://www.thegamer.com/high-guardian-spice-interview-raye-rodriguez-crunchyroll/

Rodriguez: "I was obsessed with Magic Knight Rayearth as a kid, and I think a large part of that was the fact that they were an all-female friend group that kicked ass and took care of each other"- https://www.thegamer.com/high-guardian-spice-interview-raye-rodriguez-crunchyroll/

Rodriguez: "HGS is very queer and it’s not a secret. That was one of the best parts about working with Crunchyroll, our team never got pushback when we wanted to make characters gay or trans. The writers and I thought of something and we were able to just make it happen!"- https://www.thegamer.com/high-guardian-spice-interview-raye-rodriguez-crunchyroll/

Rodriguez on HGS: "...It was never meant to be an anime since we weren’t working with a Japanese animation studio, it was always meant to be a hybrid Eastern-Western cartoon style. I’m very inspired by the character designs and expressions in shows like Sailor Moon, Petite Princess Yucie and Little Witch Academia, and I wanted to come at that cute, round, squishy style from a Western perspective."- https://www.thegamer.com/high-guardian-spice-interview-raye-rodriguez-crunchyroll/

Rodriguez on HGS: "I hope HGS helps to push the needle forward! I don’t know that it’ll affect the anime industry all that much because at the end of the day anime is made by and for Japanese people who are creating stories that reflect the values of their own culture. But more queer representation is never a bad thing!"- https://www.thegamer.com/high-guardian-spice-interview-raye-rodriguez-crunchyroll/

"High Guardian Spice, a comedic and magical coming-of-age animated series, is by Raye Rodriguez, a Cuban-American trans man. Rodriguez was an animator for animated shorts aired on Animation Domination High-Def programming block and a character designer for the LGBTQ-friendly 13-episode series, Danger & Eggs. The latter series was created by Mike Owens and a trans woman named Shadi Petosky, who later was an executive producer on the short-lived 24-episode series titled Twelve Forever... Professor Caraway (voiced by Rodriguez)...Rodriguez recently clarified that Snap would use they/them pronouns, even though Snap is on the road to transitioning toward being a trans woman by the end of the series...Rodriguez said that the opening and ending of each episode has been inspired by his favorite anime endings and openings. He also said that writers collaborated on the lyrics of the opening song, and he worked on the closing credits...Rodriguez noted that William Ruzicka storyboarded the opening and endings...Such a season is possible despite the fact that Rodriguez is developing a new mature animated drama for Legendary TV and another based on DC animated character for Warner Bros. Animation... As Rodriguez put it recently, on an account which has gone private to avoid harassment from trolls, it’s up to Crunchyroll if a second season is greenlit, adding that he’d “love to make a season 2” because he wanted to have the story following “the girls through all 3 years at High Guardian Academy.”...As for Rodriguez, he has been drawing characters from High Guardian Spice, beginning with Rose, since 2013, even putting Rose in an animation he made in 2014"- https://thegeekiary.com/spicing-it-up-high-guardian-spice-is-a-cute-and-magical-coming-of-age-story/102114

"The reaction to this scene has been incredibly positive, and while some have criticized that it seems like a rather blunt way to convey a character is trans it should be noted that the person playing Caraway is the creator of the show, Raye Rodriguez, who is also a trans man.

" Raye Rodriguez's High Guardian Spice was initially announced as the first "Crunchyroll Originals" animated project and was slated to premiere in 2019.

"...The backlash was immediate. Some were concerned about revenue being spent on American animation, but others were outraged by the focus on diversity and LGBTQ+ creators. While I agree that the trailer struggled to explain the appeal of High Guardian Spice outside of Rodriguez's infectious enthusiasm, the reactionary YouTube videos and sustained anger was far from proportional. High Guardian Spice was announced for release in 2019 and completed production in November of the same year. “Now it's just a matter of when [Crunchyroll] wills it to be released into the wild,” said showrunner Raye Rodriguez. Except Crunchyroll didn't end up willing it to be released anytime soon. It missed both its 2019 and 2020 release dates without any explanation. The show is now expected to be receiving a new release date in Summer 2021. In the meantime, a hashtag #ReleaseHighGuardianSpice was popularised, and Rodriguez responded glumly to those asking where the show was."- https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2021-06-18/crunchyroll-originals-have-been-a-disaster/.173347
