"7 hours of work.. for 4 seconds of content" that line alone hits so hard lol

[hotchocolatelife.]

it hurts my brain how patient the animators are omgg

[RecoPeco]

James: “I still can’t draw hands”

10 seconds later: Fingers drawing and holding things

[CookiehsAndDreams]

I cannot tell you how much I appreciated the fact that James gave that gorgeous background more screen time to get appreciated.

[AnimationObjectShow]

I’m really glad you made this video. As an animator, I animate every episode of my show all by myself and some people don’t realize how time consuming and incredibly hard it can be. Not to mention I have other projects on the side to do.

Maybe this video will open the eyes of people who haven’t gotten into making art or people that are demanding new animations!

Anyway amazing video as always, James!

[trishalovestein]

We NEED I NEED more videos on the animation process and industry like this. It’s explained perfectly and beautifully and as someone who’s envied and watched your videos since the beginning and always wanted to be an animator this is gold please please do more videos like this

[FlyntofRWBY]

I would love to see a video about the Animation pipeline! I’ve always heard about it, but never really understood what it entails.

[hucat]

Oh god
then he rips the sonic suit and screams
I burst out laughing, but at the same time with a tear drop in my cheek

[RhYzEm]

I don't do any animating, but I have major respect for those who do. My videos are fairly short, and It takes me close to seven hours to finish one. When I see a lot of movement In an animation, I have a lot of respect for it.

[AnthonyPadilla]

knocking it out of the park AS USUAL james & team! that was fucking epic

[MrMASx]

You are an inspiration to all animators around the world, James thinks you 😁

[garyvaughn]

I love that they took the time on the background in the apartment building to make the windows to perfectly spaced them out first they got the windows to be placed evenly from the floors up then they moved it up for the angle. So good ❤

[ShortHax]

Can’t wait for James to start speedrunning animation

[neilmatthews]

As an Animator on children's shows, who is currently animating said shows while watching this. You got it right on the nose good sir. Also RE-USE IS SUCH A BLESSING!

[rowansgotmilk]

8:30 lets appreciate that he used the sand background again, i barely noticed and it looks hella good

[jaxonsrandomchannel]

2:38
Never thought i'd see the day where A danganronpa character gets into TheOdd1sOut

[OnyxKingYT]

The Animators behind anime never have it easy.

[cornonthecobbutstillwithth]

When James was talking abt appreciating the background that took 7 hours to make, I paused the video to appreciate it even more

[dejavuman]

Oh God. The selling plasma one hit hard. I was a processing tech for a plasma company, and you have NO idea how often I would see someone drawing or writing while selling their plasma.

[greengreenolive]

Me: just watching the video
Also me when I see a danganronpa character in the video: NAGITO???
