[Evangelion Collab]

So good! I especially like the "Jerk Shinji" episode and how xxSquidwardxx's "Beach Episode" had just BARELY had anything to do with the Evangelion theme!

Thriftman responds:

Swag

[Ball frog contest entry]

You…you do these incredible animations at the last minute?? I don’t think I can handle that kind of last-minute pressure myself. Great job on this as always!

gatekid3 responds:

its a terrible rush of "oh no oh no oh no oh no oh no oh no "

[Save the Night]

HOLY COW!! This was incredible!! I also want an actual game like this! If I wasn’t swamped with my own projects this year I would easily pay you to make that a reality immediately after watching this!

gatekid3 responds:

I wonder what kind of game it would end up beig.I feel like it would just be a small boss rush game

[Plonk voting]

Democracy! I fully understand how you tend to feel during election years. I made my own (decidely more panicky) “vote” video during the United States 2020 election, and even though I didn’t specify which candidate I wanted to win, it had unfortunately gotten to the point in the US where simply telling people to vote and reducing barriers to said voting is a highly bitter wedge issue, since saner, kinder candidates are more likely to win with less gerrymandering or Voter ID shenanigans. But I did it anyway because while voting is essentially just picking between the lesser of the two evils for many people, it is EXTREMELY important that the lesser evil that is willing to listen to the feedback to his or her people wins during life-threatening global crises like the coronavirus pandemic. Best of luck to the Chilean population and your/our sanity!

Chalecus responds:

Thanks a lot for the words and the support, man! 🙏❤

[Quelling Qrampus [Jade's Diary Christmas Special]]

No doubt inspired by FLCL.

D-slick responds:

HEHE. Ya got me. I actually watched FLCL for the first time right before making this.

[Amelia]

I remember seeing the ending OP for BNA (Brand New Animal) and thinking, "as nice as Studio Trigger's usual style is, it would be awesome if an entire anime was animated in the credit sequence's lineless art style!" This video basically reminds of BNA's unique-looking ending OP.

CuteNikeChan responds:

OH WOW, YOU'RE RIGHT! i completely forgot about that BNA ending. this is exactly like that LOL

[Skin Color]

Okay, to be fair, I always used the Brown Crayola marker and tried to make it work somehow on even light skin, since Red, Orange, Pink and Yellow just felt too off for me. And I was lucky if I ever even got a pack of markers with Pink.

Delfrig responds:

Yeah, I hear you. Peach was the only thing remotely close to a skin tone if you were lucky enough to get it. I'd try brown, but it was always too dark and it'd blend with the black outlines.

[In A Blue Balloon]

Fantastic, atmospheric and creative animation! The mix of 2D and 3D in certain key scenes was great as well! Also, what is the meaning of the graffiti saying “BIG FATS?”

AntonM responds:

notorious tagger big fats, his name can be seen all across town

[Cosmic Relief (NELWARD FAN ANIMATION)]

Very impressive, and of course the song is awesome. How exactly do you do animation in FireAlpaca, though?

pollyanoid responds:

firealpaca has some basic animation features and allows you to export as png sequences, which i can just import into the video editor i use

[Spooky Spaghetty]

This had me in stitches, especially when all the random townspeople joined in at the end.

SuperPhil64 responds:

Glad it made you laugh! Carmen came up with that last scene, it was such a great idea!
