Not even the highest budgets on the planet can save High Guardian Spice's writing from its own sheer awfulness (including, but far from limited to, Rodriguez's own blatant self-insert tranny professor). At best they would've been able to avoid the embarrassing animation flaws, like characters transparently walking on the static backgrounds & phasing through houseplants or all those watermarked stock photos they ripped off a Google search & photoshopped in.
