I was just talking in an animation class about implied story in character design clothing. For grown up Manolo, he picked a black matador outfit. Why? Because black is the most used mariachi outfit color. Even as a matador, Manolo is telling us who he really is. Skulls everywhere…

It’s why Maya and the The Three is one season. We built it so that a cancellation couldn’t derail the story. My only worry is there’s no physical media version of it.

Bryan O’Malley says the ‘SCOTT PILGRIM’ anime likely won’t get a Season 2. “People are always complaining about how shows get canceled after 1 season. So we hedged our bets immediately, and tried to make a self-contained 1 season.” (Source: )
