Why do /v/tards continually act like how much staff is getting paid is the end all for this shit.
The reason Gnosia looks good is because the studio only does two anime a year, and even then, it's a slideshow the majority of the time.

The Remake Issue
Now, I'm sure literally everyone with even a passing interest in currently airing works has noticed the ongoing trend of remakes and legacy sequels in the TV anime sphere.
Remakes aren't really a new thing- it used to be that a lot of legacy works would get renewed in this way. Cyborg 009, Astro Boy, and (technically) Gegege no Kitaro all got "remakes" or "reboots" every decade or two (though only the latter is continuing this tradition into the modern day), but the current glut of remakes is fairly excessive.
Is it really just down to the anime industry producing that many more shows? Everyone is aware of Kadokawa's desire to produce 50+ TV anime a year, and a lot of other studios are following suit, so is this just an effort to maximize potential audience going in while keeping risks minimal? Even then, some of the works being remade are shocking for that criteria.
As an example, in the past decade alone, I've seen the following remakes/reimaginings all come out
>Legend of the Galactic Heroes (1987 -> 2018)
>Dororo (1969 -> 2019)
>Devilman Crybaby (1987 (counting the OVA here, not the TV anime) -> 2019)
>Fruits Basket (2001 -> 2019)
>Digimon Adventure (1999 -> 2020)
>Dragon Quest Dai no Daibouken ( -> 2020
>Shaman King (2001 -> 2021)
>Urusei Yatsura (1981 -> 2022)
>Ranma 1/2 (1989 -> 2022)
>Rose of Versailles (1979 -> 2025)
>Cat's Eye (1983 -> 2025)
>YAIBA (1993 -> 2025)
>Hell Teacher Nube (1996 -> 2025)
>Fist of the North Star (1984 -> 2026)
>One Piece (In Production)
One has to wonder how long this can keep going. It's obviously a form a filler in the annual schedule to make up for so many shows being produced, but it's clear they're already running low on titles by reaching for works like Nube and Yaiba, both successful, but far cries from Versailles or a Takahashi work.
Saying all this though, I imagine the current bubble the anime industry is in will burst by the end of the decade.
