Maybe. Episode 5 had a very long development time but I would regard it as the weakest episode thus far. Despite the objective quality and quantity of animations, I don't think they fully compensated for the long wait or the lack of progress (story or relationship wise).
Episode 6 has certainly been hyped up, and if it gets things back in gear I think the extra development time will be well worth it. But if all the time was spent on pretty animations and the plot continues to creak along, that would be a troubling sign.
Things like DPC's
poll about animations make me worry that the marketability of flashy graphics could overshadow other aspects of the game that are (IMHO) more important and faster to produce. Nevertheless, I remain cautiously optimistic. (If increasingly impatient. We're so close...)
