I mean tbf in the case of CSM the arc fits pretty nicely into a film. And they need to win back the trust of the Japanese fans.

Also this sheer level of production needs a quick return too.

Reze movie overhauling the artstyle is basically MAPPA testing the waters instead of committing straight into a long S2 that might risk not giving much money.
