Star Guardians Anime

So, I just got done re-watching all the Star Guardian Cinematics in order, and I noticed something; They are getting better and better in production quality.

The newest Neeko cinematic was amazing in my opinion. But this leads me to a bigger thought;

Why haven't we gotten a Star Guardian Anime?

The storyline is there.

The characters are there.

I just don't get how Riot could spend the money to hype some pretty cool skins and then throw all of that out the window without even considering and Star Guardian anime. It just makes no sense to me at all.

I think the idea of Ahri's team losing 3 of its members to corruption (Rakan, Zoe, and Xayah) is amazing.

You have an entire 3 seasons right here.

So I will pledge this right here and right now:

Riot. If you are listening, I will buy every single Star Guardian skin from now till the future, and anything else Star Guardian related if you at least TRY and pilot this out. I'll even pay retail for the show, I don't care. Just please try. Just the tie-in market opportunities alone would make you boatloads more money (especially from me).

because that takes a lot more work than a 3 min commercial

They would get a lot more money though, for their investment.

The hell they wouldn't. Dvd releases, Deals with streaming services, The satisfaction of knowing they did something Blizzard flopped with, tie in merchandising rights, the possibilities are there.

ok how long would this anime be

bare minimum would at least be 4 episodes at around 30 min each. So animators have to animate all those scenes. They have to be paid. Voice actors would have to be cast. A script would have to be written for each episode. Writing cohesive stories is not Riot's strong suit, mind you. Music would have to be designed as well.

And where to do you show it? In order to sell broadcast rights, a streaming service would have to show interest in the anime. They probably could get some streaming service to purchase it, but not for as much as they'd want to sell for. I highly doubt that Riot would want to spend the time, money, and effort into such an anime; especially if they didn't think they'd make a profit off it.

.......I have.......Shameful to admit it, but I have. Cardcaptors Sakura is the best so far, but I think the tie in with LoL lore would work out well in this medium.
