Why Buffy Animated never happened

Apparently there was talk of developing an animated version ofBuffy the Vampire Slayer, but Whedon and his creative team couldn’t get anyone to buy the project, citing the need for a male character as a lead. Whedon called the project his “Simpsons version of Buffy,” of which the writing team wrote seven scripts. (X)

Sadly, the fact that they couldn’t get this made without a male lead doesn’t even surprise me. It does depress me though - this would have been awesome.
