It was literally the only genuinely high quality game Yuke's ever made, in their entire history of existence. They've gone full batshit balls-to-the-wall with it. They never ever did anything like that before it, nor after it.

It was a one-shot because they hired a whole ton of professional extremely popular seiyuu VA at the time, and it's director was a MASSIVE Slayers fan, giving the primary reason why nearly half of it's VA cast are seiyuus that voiced Slayers characters, or adjacent-to-Slayers anime products' chars. Keiya, for example, is Hikaru Midorikawa, of "Zelgadis" fame, and several other "Slayers" actors voice other characters.

And game's official OP was also using very famous "Kiss In The Dark" song sung by Okumi Masami, who is actually very close friend of Megumi Hayashibara (the LITERAL eternal empress of ALL seiyuu) and sung "Try Again" OP of first Slayers TV series with her, it's ED "Kujikenaikara", and several other songs for Slayers in subsequent seasons, Image CDs, etc. This hiring alone brought heavy financial costs, because Okumi Masami was de facto one of the hottest and highly sought-for top dog songstresses at the time.

And ALSO, the game featured VA work of LEGENDARY Kikuko Inoue, who later on became to be known as "THE I-No" of Guilty Gear's fame. In Eretzvaju she is voicing game's final boss, Ihadurca, which is very foreboding and somewhat ironic (she also does couple other characters). And even by then, Kikuko wasn't just some literalwhonobody, she was EXTREMELY famous VA, she even MENTORED Megumi at a point. To say that Eretzvaju's production is GODLIKE level, considering what game it is, is to greatly underplay things.

All of this has blown the total budget waaay beyond Yuke's' "pain threshold", the game needed to sale at least 200k copies to just come out even and at least 200k more over to bring real profit, ALL IN TWO WEEKS. But it sold about ~320k in the first MONTH, totaling 608k by the end of it's release year.

because instead of the characters uncovering the world by showing and not telling through their adventures, they have info dumps or recycled systems or common lore from videogames people already know.

Is there any anime made in 4K resolution? Really 4K, not remastered.

Is it THAT TYEM one again? I guess it's THE TYEM one again, then:
