Why is it hard for animated anthology series than an live action one?

[tony6]

Love, Death and Robots, Liquid Television, What a Cartoon! and Oh Yeah Cartoons and Random Cartoons have been successful. The latter shows brought us cartoons like Beavis and Butthead, Powerpuff Girls, Dexter's Laboratory, The Fairly Oddparents and many others. If someone tries to create a series like this, why is hard to create one than an live action anthology series?

Right now I'd say live-action anthology series are hard to get created. It's not like the 50's where half the stuff on TV were anthologies & the other half were variety shows.

Okay. What about animation?

I’d say they suffer from the same problems as live-action anthologies; most people want to see the same characters across a season. Audiences want more time for character development, plot twists, & the like.

This may change in a few years; these things tend to be cyclical. Most radio comedies were serialized till the 40’s, when marketers thought stand-alone episodes were funnier. Magazines published novels chapter-by-chapter, till Doyle decided Sherlock Holmes might be better in short stories, etc.

There are American live-action anthology series like American Horror Story and Fargo, what they do is change characters and settings every season, rather than every episode.

No offense, tony, but you seem to make a million similar threads about this subject. It's becoming a broken record.

If you want to sell an animated series, you are going to have to network with contacts within the major media companies or make your pilot on Youtube to use as a sales pitch, like what Vivziepop did with Hazbin Hotel.

Can you answer this? What does it mean by hiring new talent who is not as established?

I am not an expert on Hollywood networking, you will likely have to move to LA and try to sell your ideas to as many people as you can, any way you can. There is no easy answer and no guaranteed path to success. You should do the research yourself about Hollywoof networking and be prepared for a lot of hard thankless work that may not work out, no one here can give you an easy answer.
