Aniplex: "Dang, we've got ourselves a hot, hot property on our hands. We've got to do everything we can to keep this cash train rolling as long as possible. What can you whip us up real quick, Shaft?"
Shaft: "I guess we can slap together a recap movie."
Aniplex: "Sold! Better make it two recap movies so we can take advantage of every bit of TV footage. Now what extra incentive can we throw in to sweeten the pot and get more people into the seats?"
Shaft: "Well, why don't we promise a third movie down the road with some sequel stuff? We'll make some changes to the TV events to set that up and everyone will want to come to see that."
Aniplex: "Excellent. Get to work."
(Several months later.)
Shaft: "Shit, these movies is supposed to come out next month and we haven't done jack squat. Better slap together some new backgrounds and get that thing out there. Oh, I guess we were supposed to make some changes or something. Well, can't bother with that now."
"Third movie? Ha ha ha, if we can't manage to get Kizu out, we're not going to be getting another movie out in any of your lifetimes."
