Oh I watched the first three seasons of Infinity Train already, the whole shitshow that followed made me give up on animation entirely. And seeing the state of animation these days confirms that I've made the right call in my opinion.
Just read (comic)books people, books are just better.
I like them too but it's just not worth it. In Western animation it takes forever for a show to air, there is very few to choose from and they are subject to corporate crap every step of the way. And most Japanese animation I've seen is cheap and / or tropey junk.
Making a book is cheap enough that the author has way more free rein to do what they want, even if they are dealing with a commerical genre. And there are so many books to choose from and more of them keep coming out so you'll never run out of material, the worst that could happen is you get into an ongoing series and it doesn't finish. To me that means the tradeoffs border on irrelevant.
