At least Happy Sugar Life crashed hard. That's a really horrible show.

I kind of feel bad for Hanebad!. It's a commendable effort on a technical level, but watching characters repeatedly act like complete jerks and worse and almost never getting called out on it, or getting only the mildest of reprimands gets tiresome. It falls into the relatively rare "I want to enjoy it more than I do" category for me.

So, you would not advise it? I was going to watch it after the end of the season.

Don't just listen to a random person's spite on the internet. If you find the premise interesting, then give it a try anyway. I personally like the show

@#HayamiLover I’d check it out if you’re interested. The episode reviews here are much more positive and I would tend to agree with the reviewer on Happy Sugar Life. At the very least I would seek out more opinions and make the decision yourself, rather than rely on one person’s.

You should watch it. Hanazawa's performance gave me chills down my spine. Hope to own the series one day.

Well, in that case, thank you all for your answers. I will definitely try to watch this show when I have the opportunity.

The production committee system is becoming anachronistic in this new age of streaming:

The anime industry is continuing to grow rapidly thanks to streaming platforms like Netflix and Amazon. Some anime companies have found themselves switching up their business model. For example, in the past, anime home video sales used to comprise the lion’s share of revenues, but in some cases, the Blu-Ray/DVD sales now only amount to a small portion of new 2018 anime sales.
Of course, most of this growth was from overseas market growth for anime, not because of domestic market increases. However, the U.S. does not top the charts when it comes to countries having the most contracts with the Japanese anime industry. Instead, China has taken that number one position as of 2015.
Many are produced using the production committee system, where risk is hedged by splitting the cost between multiple companies with certain interests in the property.
President Koji Yamamoto of anime producer Twin Engine spoke to Mantan Web in a new interview and he believes the production committee system is “broken.” In previous years, distributing anime to the world required each television station to purchase a license. The subscription model of video-on-demand services like Netflix or Amazon video have turned that model on its head.
If anime distribution is focused on building a business other than packages, it is believed that anime can be produced without a production committee.
“Instead of risk hedging at the Production Committee, it is a scheme like a fund,” Mr. Yamamoto explained. “As for details… I’m sorry, that’s a trade secret.”
The new business model has definitely changed an indicator that used to define success. It’s long been a staple of anime fans to judge an anime’s success by the number of domestic Blu-Ray/DVD sales in Japan during the first week. The assumption was that 3,000 sales indicated the magical point where second and third seasons might be renewed. But companies like Netflix and Amazon have been changing that business model due to streaming revenue.
