#spongebob
@OliviaVespera One can really see that this was made with love, skill and budget...
- Cuz the entire production was close to $5M (US I guess) for 13 episodes + pilot.
- That puts it's cost per episode deep into #SpongeBob terrory which we can agree is way easier to market globally and across age groups (I mean, a yellow sponge is sellable even in heavily censored juristictions!)
OFC they took the original #CyberSix #comic and obviously didn't go with a 1:1 translation because it's obviously too mature...
- I heard about it remotely when it was on TV (cuz that happens when a 7 year old in Germany learns to use IRC in 1999), but I forgot about it since then.
- Espechally since it's not really easy to find except realizing it's not Carmen Sandiego...
- Also AFAICT it only got screened in #France (or at least it's only #Europe|an #DVD release was there!) and since it didn't succeed in the #USA, it never even came up on the table for licensees in other places...
AFAIK the only markets it got shown besides #Canada were #Argentinia and #Japan, tho allegedly also #Italy and #France, which obviously I could've never stumbled upon as - unlike #Germany - their #TV signals are fully encrypted and oftentimes not even on the 19,2°E position, so I could've never zapped into it.
