Looks like Arin finally remembered the password for this channel

Hearing all the different Arin screams at 4:38 just reminds me of the ol' Newgrounds days.

I’m a little sad that this didn’t go anywhere, I see a lot of potential. The humor’s very nostalgic, the animation is expressive & vibrant even the story has the potential to be a fun slice of life with a hint of mystery. All it needs is some good background music & you got the makings of a decent show.

it may not be anything groundbreaking but it’s still refreshing to see a show that doesn’t rely on swearing, sex, and over the top violence. (Yes I know there’s violence here but it’s kept at a minimum compared to others)

6:24 I love how Arin can’t help but laugh and just keep making up hero moves while he does these voices, makes me chuckle with him.

I sure missed the days when Arin used to animate. - Dale Gribble

[ololreyalple]

Even though it wasn't animated by him, it still had that classic flair thatmakes this an egoraptor product, i'm so happy rn

[mally]

Half of this sounds like it was recorded in a single take.

[liams]

I love how chaotic yet planned this feels.

[Terry-Tuna]

I loved hearing Arin quietly snicker to himself while he came up with more wacky mighty officer attack names. Brilliant.

[Mystikeb]

This was written as if Arin is still 19. It's so beautiful.

6:29 Arin can’t contain his own laughter, and they leave it in 😂

6:30
i find it really funny that Arin just started riffing and the animators just went with it
you can hear laughter in the background near the end of the segment
it works so well

[preston]

i swear every time i hear arin with a voice impression of an angry man it just reminds me of him explaining a story on game grumps and this just makes it more funnier every time he does it.

[TheGhostnappa]

8:13 i love arins "DO YA THINK!?!?" its one of his mannerisms that ive always loved

[pinknolan]

It’s like night and day between this pilot and something like Hazbin Hotel or Smiling Friends. This feels more like something I’d see on NewGrounds rather than something I could imagine on a network or streaming service.

6:46
Mighty Officer Yellow: "I'd like some pound cake!"

[travisnakahira]

I actually love how the characters in this animation move, they are so expressive and absurd. Please let it blow up and get a million views then another episode

[retroficient]

I'm so glad Worthikids did the Title work. I hope to see their animation more everywhere.

[jettthewolf]

This has to be the most unhinged, incomprehensible thing I have ever seen.


I love it.

[ScottieBoy]

I absolutely love this, it takes me back to when I first discovered the Awesome Series on Newgrounds over 15 years ago when I was in hs. This has a very similar energy to it and I am 100% here for it. Hope it get's picked-up, best of luck Arin!
