A few things that stuck out to me:
1.) "That's not how pitching works."
Then where the hell was the pilot Raye? Where did everything in the trailer come from? If your team was under such unbearable crunch over the last...I'll assume year, 2 years in production, how were they also somehow still working on the show when it was first announced and had concept art, character design, cleaned-up background sketches, and other early production work done all the way back when the trailer dropped? Although, hey, maybe they're also having budgetary issues because...
2.) "We literally started storyboarding the first episode before the first script was even finished."
Why.
WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU DO THAT!? 
Is that why the first episode feels so clunky and is filled with so much shot-reverse-shot and static poses when there's no dialogue? Because the storyboarders only had loose scribbles to work with? Sweet Christ, it all makes sense now.
For those not privy to how animation works, even on a fundamentally basic,
common sense level:
That'd be like if I tried to build a car without the blueprints from the guy who designed it. And when I ask the guy for them out of frustration, he tells me it's not done yet and instead gives me their sketchbook and told me to make it with that until he's finished. I mean, sure I could try to make it on my own and it'll definitely be...something resembling a car, but it ain't gonna be the car you asked for. Cool that you got me the blueprints finally; still ain't gonna do jack shit to fit with this fucked-up waste of metal you call a vehicle.
That's not even taking into account if Raye's talking about the finished script being completed or the
first script being done. As in the
first draft. Because if it's the latter, I might just have a stroke from the sheer incompetence of this whole thing. You can't just rely on all your storyboarders to carry your story for you, that's not their
job!
This isn't Steven Universe where they're more heavily involved in the creative process;
your boarders can only do so much! But fuck them I guess; they had a small budget and that's why it sucked. Couldn't be anything else, having to do with you or
your writing staff making more work for them by having them build a story based on notepad scribbles. No sir. That'd be stupid.
And 3.) Just: fantastic, absolutely phenomenal job badmouthing your employer out in the open about the horrible crunch your team underwent like that to dissenters who already hated CR. Surely that will get you that coveted second season and won't launch Crunchyroll into a PR shitstorm after they already had to deal with the previous PR shitstorm that was your show.
Just a bang-up job, Raye. You absolute
legend.
