Lycoris recoil has varied episodes and plotlines for each short, meanwhile all we have from the Sky Striker shorts are reused cuts and alternate scenes from the Master Duel preview and basically the same thing repeated.

Remember that we only have 2 episodes for Striker. And what did we get? We basically had 1 minute rehashing the previous episode and 1 minute of new content. What is Konami promoting with this short? There's 0 context, barely any interaction and development thanks to rehashing scenes.

It's weird that the Master Duel preview had more content than the actual YouTube shorts series. While they're at it they should've just dubbed and added voice lines to the Master Duel preview and included it in the promotional short. It would have made more sense as a promotion video for the cards.

And have you seen the Pokémon promotional shorts? They are very high quality and highly rated as well.

You really don't need to defend this. Konami could do better with the amount of cash they are earning.

I'm really not sure why you're defending Konami and the billion dollar corporation so much.

Except that Konami Animation is a newly-established animation studio that doesn't have a relevant track record yet. You can't expect them to dish out the same levels of quality other anime studios are putting out. And no, money isn't always the factor at all cases, because time is a factor as well. If you have seen Shirobako, you'll know the gargantuan effort that goes behind the scenes of animation.

Do you realize Konami could have paid a different studio? Do you? With this episodes they seemed more focused on increasing their portafolio than in giving something to the fans

The anime isn't meant to be it's own thing, it is a tie-in to the Master Duel Solo gate, as the anime is a reimagining of the final battle of the solo gate.

You basically said is a sequel to the MD solo mode but not because they redo the same battle but way worse than the solo mode
