Kurzgesagt: We just work on whatever we find exciting

Kurzgesagt: What if we nuke a city

[spacehusk]

The narrator's voice makes it sound scientific regardless of the topic of the video

[OriginalLofiBeats]

please never change this perfect artstyle and the VOICE ACTOR. this channel will never be the same without this voice actor

[Rex_The_Mouse]

"Now it's my turn!"
HE DOES EXIST!!

[zenitsuagatsuma]

It's amazing that this channel is run by cute birds who hired a human narrator for educating humans.

[bigerik]

Breaking News: Licensed narrator speaks in the first person.

[the_mcmartin]

As an animator I was always fascinated by the character design + animation style of each video. Especially how you guys make microorganisms look so colourful and cute. Very diverse styles. Truly appreciate the work, stay awesome! 😎

[squeazy]

I'm falling in love with this channel, this really is the definition of a quality content, please keep making videos because I won't get tired of it, keep up the good work and good job kurzgesagt

Other Youtubers: "Guys I'm working on a massive project, you'll see in a few days!'
Kurzgesagt: "You'll see what we're working on right now in a year... or two"

[mozkitolife]

I feel like I need the narrator in my life on a device:
"It's time to get up and start the day. Completing today's tasks will provide a positive mindset and improve your mental health."

[NguyenMinh]

“Improving your animation quality is always great, but what engages people is the story that you’re telling” - Alan Becker, the master of stick figures. 1:00

[Boetacular]

4:38 I really like the slow piano remake of the intro music. It’s really fitting, creative, and heartwarming

[mickeydiesel]

It’s cannon: The narrator is a tiny round red bird.

[censxhp]

for anybody who wanted to know: 1200 hours = (1)50 days.
if they have around 12 people working on a video with 5 work days where they would work for 8 hours, that could result to 150 working days (3600 hours minus 14 hours if they worked for 8 hours each day, 1, 200 hours of work.)

[eclipse]

Its really amazing how fucking amazing this channel is, especially by how a tiny ass bird can have such a deep voice

[josemarigonzales]

This is the third time I have watched this video, and I am still encouraged and inspired to make creative ways of practically and effectively sharing information/knowledge to our out-of-school youths in our local communities here. It also reminded me again of your Team's noble work and dedication. Thank you very much, again, to each of you in the K Team for all the creative videos you had developed and shared to us all these years!

In a nutshell -
1: Mention ways how humanity or universe can end
2: Use Birds

The infographics show: who are you?
Kurzsesagt: I'm you but better

[BallerinaValkyrie]

The work you all do is so amazing, and I'm so grateful. Sometimes I hate learning just because I can't find something interesting, and you have so many videos that change that.
