Part 11/13:
Behind the scenes, High Guardian Spice appears to have been an experiment gone awry. Reports suggest internal drama, mismanagement, and a lack of a clear director’s vision all contributed to its unpolished final product. The show had been planned for multiple seasons, with hopes of a second, but the overwhelming criticism and poor reception led to its stagnation.
The team behind the series, including showrunner Ray Rodriguez, moved on quickly—likely as a response to the backlash. The production company disbanded, and the series was quietly released years after completion, only in the wake of WarnerMedia’s sale of Crunchyroll to Sony. This arrival seems more like a closing chapter—an underwhelming experiment that cost the platform credibility.
