Genshin fans can't understand how much time ANYTHING needs to be made.
I've seen people saying that Nod-Krai was created AFTER Natlan flopped in terms of money.
Mavuika's banner ended on 21st of January. Nod-Krai was already tied to Lore in April during that stream.
Indeed Sandrone Animation was planned since December 2025
Whereas the production began around Feb 2026
Animations are never "Yeah this is going bad let's make an animation about it"
Animation is a long process, months to half a year depending upon the length.
