How did these absolute madmen do it?
cute girls doing tank things
Because that kind of stuff doesn't really make or break a show and is unimportant compared to the content and how they market it.

Gundam 0079 has a beamrifle firing missiles, mechs warping shape to avoid attacks, etc.
NGE played Ode to Joy over a still for like two minutes straight.
Gundam SEED reused footage sometimes within ten seconds of the first usage.
Meguca exists because of Madoka's quality.
Production being fucked has never stopped sales, is what I'm saying.

Because of strong quality control.
Instead of airing the episodes filled with QUALITY, they went with the delay and recap route to maintain the quality.
For franchises like gup, all that matters is that pixiv becomes obsessed with the characters

It pushes cute girls hard. Harder than even most cute girl centered shows. It has a huge cast but worked to give them all unique designs and at least most of them a personality. Plus it was an original series with a huge push of side material alongside it along with a wide range of merchandise that aside from the typical character figures and such included things like mass market tank reboxes that hit a wider market than just the typical waifu buyers.

It nailed every point and now they're making more. There are no brakes on this train

Except for the brakes on the train being slammed by the 'FINAL' OVA

But what about cute tanks?
Didn't Madoka also take a while for the final eps to come out?

Aside from the fact that the tank battles and characters are good, GuP was completely lightning in the bottle that you dont see happen often.I feel bad for Actas that they got a flat rate for it though. Sucks for them.

That was because of the tsunami.
