The budget is worked out to the cent, MONTHS in advance, and the deadlines set in stone too. All possible shots, are already reviewed and approved before production proper starts.
So if shit goes sideways, like staffers get sick, or Director changes mind, the rest of the studios working, has to adjust to match. Either hire emergency supports replacement, or find creative work around, or work yourself into sickness/near-death in 72-hour no sleep marathon "crunch", but you are still held by the deadline, the budget, and the obligation you sign on for, to deliver at all costs.
So some fat American can flick on Crunchyroll, rub his tiny cock for a release, then act like he's Ceaser passing judgement online, and not giving a fuck about all the hard work you and your team put in for his entertainment.
