In a move to cut costs GDH, Gonzo’s parent company, said today that it will cut Gonzo’s output of new shows from 8 to 4 in 2009. In addition it will do some production budgeting that might save it some 2 million dollars. Business as usual you’d say but this is Gonzo we’re talking about. The proverbial hit or miss company in anime. If when making 8 shows it managed just a good one each season the odds aren’t looking too bright for Gonzo come next year.
Then again, they could probably make those 4 series all spinoffs of Rosario + Vampire and Strike Witches in which case they’d be rolling in money by 2010. There’s no business like the fanservice business!

This might be a good move. All its big resources might make those 4 shows lack any animation defects.
Anyway, yay for Druaga 2.
Consolidating efforts may prove to make better series. At least is doesn’t say they are laying off any of their work force. This may allow for a greater focus on each project.
