"Who do you think is gonna go first?" "It's gotta be Scar"

How ironic !

[FloorMat]

FOR THOSE WHO ARE WONDERING:
Grian’s task: Make 3 bad puns at every given moment and get no laughs
Scar’s task: Call everyone everything but their username

Ive just recently noticed how, when Grian is laughing really hard, you can hear him slapping his desk, and it makes me giggle to think about lol

[tiredbaymaxripoff]

You made Scott so unbelievably sassy in his entrance and I love it. This was amazing

[Nars_Media]

as a fellow artist: those HANDS. the BODY LANGUAGE. the FRAMES AND CAMERA POSITIONING. stunning, 10/10 cant wait to watch Jimmy watch this after the series ends

[allthatjazza]

The way you animated scar talking about losing hearts is *exactly* how he sounds, it’s BEAUTIFUL

[Drawlistics]

THIS WAS SOO GOODDD!!! Everyone is so expressive AND ITS ALMOST A 5 MINUTE ANIMATIC WHAT THE HELL!? I loved it, and the thumbnail art is amazing!!

[iciclepops]

OK CAN I JUST. RAMBLE for a sec??? these designs are so good i CANNOT believe it.

Grian having a shoulder cape is SUCH a natural transition from his usual "elytra angel wings" design because they both have a sort of windy-ness to them. It also makes him look like a hobbit!

Mumbo having that minimalist pringles face when simplified is simply adorable. I am chuffed to bits. And I love how you managed to make his suit more interesting with the arm straps and gloves, AND AND those pointy elf ears and rich guy hair!!

Making Joel a tired-eyed sort-of-alien to link back to his skin's Shrek origins is so genius. AND SCOTT. SCOTT. WHY ARE THEY SO GORGEOUS??? The bottom eyelashes, the subtle lip curve, the teeth gaps when he made a hiss sound, THE HAIR SPARKLES??? Anime boy. He's an anime boy.

Scar. His shoulder pockets. His pointy but curved teeth. His crying face. His kerchief and scars. Protect him at all costs.

Lastly I'd like to appreciate the incorporations of hearts in all their clothes (its the life series symbol). Grian's heart pin to keep his shoulder cape linked, Mumbo and Joel's heart buttons, Scar's heart kerchief, and Scott's Heart Brooch! I love this video so much. You are now an inspiration to me in character design.

OMG??? THE FRAME WHERE IT SHOWED ANOTHER LIFE SERIES (CAN'T REMEMBER THE NAME-) WAS SO SMOOTH AND WELL DONE BECAUSE GRIAN HAD A PICK!!!

[simcoe]

2:27 Scott do be looking absolutely ✨ fabulous ✨ in every frame tho

[themysticarcher]

2:27 can we stop an talk about how FABULOUS Scott looks in this frame??? I love his lashes!!

[dnielbloqg]

I like how the entire Hermitcraft Animated community has basically agreed upon the fact that all Hermits and interactions between them are and look somewhat romantic, nothing in the form of ships or something like that, just casually romantic by themself and with each other
Also hits the Life theme very well (and maybe that's the main reason you chose to draw them like that but my point still stands!)

[JosaxJaz]

"Moon not big" was good
This was a much longer animatic than I had expected, and I'm pleasantly surprised about it.

[starry_moon]

Imagine double life with Scar and Jimmy sharing a health bar 😂😂

[planetfall]

Oh I can't express how much i love this!!!
The character designs the expressions, the framing and movement, the depiction of the pun items! Fantastic! The pun items (almost always) not being simply thrown on the ground but each having a unique action of drawing and presenting them was SO GOOD. I adore the reference at 0:52. Also the "Moon Big" reference too.

[ariannebrodeur]

I love the way you captured Joel's real nonchalant delivery lmao the way that man goes from the most unbothered monotone voice to screaming is why I love watching him lmao

[Leezz_I]

This is amazing! I love how you animated the clips! I really like the flashback to last life at 0:54 and the hermitcraft s8 refrence at 2:16 :D

[coyotesvods]

This is just... so beautiful. It's always so much fun seeing what animators do with the items Mumbo and Grian are punning with, but I've never seen someone animate gifting before and that's also so cool! Even their little hole in the ground is so detailed and pretty.

The fact the first episode of every season of Life had some sort of on-going joke over several minutes is golden.
