    Just found your channel as of today but great video and catalog overall. Already going back through your previous uploads as your style is incredibly informative, cohesive, and unique. I love the animations and model you employ as well as it isn’t distracting and is really pleasing color and design wise. Keep up the grand work, can’t wait to see what you do next! Also out of curiosity what sort of animal is your avatar meant to be? I’m not very knowledgeable so I couldn’t really tell but was wondering about it.

    Another plus to that anatomy bit about the frogs. You can really tell they studied some froggies for this ep. Some particular little mannerisms and body language impressed me, like the fact the frogs close their eyes when they bite or blink as they swallow Chilchuck. As they use the backs of their eyes to push food down their throat as they swallow in place of a tongue like we do..

    Actually, Joseph IS using his purple hermit vines to swing in that scene of ep. 5. Reason we can't see it is that the shot in this case was showing a "bystanders perspective" where stands are invisible. Technically DIO can't fly either, he's using his stand to propel himself in the air, iirc.

    this is one of my favourite christmas movies. i started watching your dandadan videos a couple days ago and found this a moment ago. can't wait to see the conclusion edit: wow. just wow. this is downright enraging. so the people doing the actual puppeteering got pretty much nothing, and the voice actors also got paid absolutely jack. damn. while rankin seemed to have respect for them (and they seemed to like their jobs), the people involved deserved a whole lot more
