So how long should I keep holding on to this candle?

I think the Lackadaisy pilot was the single best piece of independent animation I've ever seen on YouTube. And the short, Ingenue, was great too. And I understand that creating great animation takes time, so I'm willing to be patient.

But having said that, it's been over two years since the pilot was released and a ton of money has been poured into this project, but there's little to show for it. It's also blown way past its original projected release date. The best and most recent info I've seen about a release date has just been vague mentions of sometime this year without any specificity.

So, at this point, I have to ask myself how long do I keep hoping for an actual Season 1, even one as short as 5 episodes, to come out before just giving up and wondering what might have been? Right now, I'm inclined to keep holding this candle until the end of this year. But if 2026 rolls around and we still haven't seen anything new, or at least some concrete information. I think it'll be time to give up.

Thoughts?
