I teach a Creative Narrative class and just last week I introduced my college students to your videos as a prime example of storytelling, especially since you can tell such compelling narratives without any dialogue. I remember being in sixth grade when I first saw "Animator vs. Animation" and I can only watch in awe at how incredible this journey has been. Thank you for this Odyssey.
He's a genius

Godly series
They better appreciate this videos because if they don't I'll hunt them down
Just kidding I'm not a murderer
There's another good example like Primal created by Genndy Tartakovsky. Even though it doesn't have any nareatives, it still manages to tell a good story.

Love the way Alan and the stick figured were play fighting at the start. It’s clearly so much fun for everyone and it definitely foreshadows TSC using his animation skill to fight later on
I just realized, TSC is kind of growing into the role of being the Animator himself! Even without Alan's PC present, it was still an animator versus animation!
nah alan definitely is the animator still, he will come into the story later since victim is after alan, so i assume there will be a fight with alan, victim, the mercenaries, the stick gang and orange once orange figures out how to use his powers
Remember, he was the one that taught Alan how to animate!

I really like how the sunglasses dude versus Orange fight basically harkens back to the title of the film, Animator vs. Animation, by having the sunglasses dude use Animator tools while Orange creates and uses Animations. This is simply phenominal.

It’s insane how rewatchable Alan Beckers videos are despite stick figures being one of the most simple and basic characters yet. His talent is incredible!

Yea I've watched all his videos like 6 times already
There are some stick figure youtubers that started their channel way older than Alan and get millions of views
@@darksoul7901 yeah yeah but he's videos are still unique (If not counting all the copycats) and how many stick figure animation videos have proper lore?

i love how TSC gave red a shield 4:49 he was probs thinking “ok ur not going down first THIS TIME buckaroo”
The reason this group of people is better than something like glitchtale (in terms of animation) is that they use all of their previously established settings like REAL places that interact with the characters in a way that makes everything feel more real despite them being stick figures. The talent these people have is incredible.
And consistency. Improvements. And story? From what I’ve heard, Glitchtale is the Swiss cheese of stories.
@@jadefoxette8603 glitchtale felll off hard, ngl, severely disappointed by how they didn't properly conclude Story arcs that were set up to be a big deal and just slapped on "boom big fight scene that should satisfy the fans"
15:35 even though he’s gray i really hope he’s the victim from alan’s very first animator vs animation. i remember someone saying that if alan brought back the victim he would make him gray. on the walls you can also see the lasso, color picker, brush, eraser, and the hand. all of which he used against alan in the fight they had.
wait... I didn't even think of that. Now I'm 100% convinced that's who it is. I'm sure this series is gonna be about his story now.
He's gray because according to Alan stick figures age faster than humans so yes it is Victim
that was my first thought!
@@jetpackdog3427Bro Same! I went down to the comment section immediately to see if anyone else had posted about it yet, and here we are!
hes probably grey because of the light shining on him
I love how Alan went from 2D in the first episodes, to semi 3D, and now finally fully 3D! Really shows his incredible improvement!
Practice and then improvements in tech, plus a bigger budget helps.
Of course! And I love that!

I’ve taken the personal liberty of naming the mercenaries.
7:46 I’ll call him Primal because he looks like those cavemen stickfigures painted on cave walls and he also carries hunter gatherer style weaponry (spears, bow and arrows)
7:49 I’ll call him Pixels because he looks like the embodiment of the genre of pixel art and works like pixel art aswell. Like with his head turret.
7:43 I’ll call him Caution-Man because he looks like that guy on all those danger signs like next to pools and stuff.
7:39 I’ll call him Agent Smith because he just looks like a Smith and his glasses make him look like an agent. Hence Agent Smith.
lol agent “smith” is what Dj called him
Btw if you don’t know how Dj is he is in the avg reacts channel
wrong, very wrong
their names are poop, henry stickman, bathroom sign and agent smith.
(you got the last one right lmao)
The 2 are ballista And hazard
I love how each of the mercenaries has his own style of animation and they take advantage of that to fight, the pixels, he has the sword, the guns, the attack of jojos, the rock painting has the spear, the bow, the hulk shape, game&watch has the slow animation, the signal with which he erases the bird and the stickman with the glasses has the magnifying glass, the loop, the selector, it's incredible the variety of animation styles that this has
@igger who cares + who asked
@@thehammerbreake9885 Exactly my thoughts
Funnily enough I think the more pixelated Stick figure is actually based on that age old animation/gif of a guy attacking a wall. I only clocked it when his head turned into a turret.
@@vilheimbond9352 interesante 🤔
"The attack of jojos" lmao I see you're quite cultured
Something I noticed while TSC was originally trying to fend off the mercenaries, the specific things he created were actually poor matches against the three mercenaries he sent them against.
For Ballista, he sent flying sharks at him. That’s crazy. The man is looks like he’s made for crazy. Maybe something cold and calculated that is able to adapt and punish his moves would be better suited to fight him.
For Primal, he sent a rhino at him. Seeing from his strength and style of weaponry, he is the embodiment of ancient human hunters, which were proficient at killing large creatures. While he is able to deal with something big and tough, what about something small and plentiful? His strengths wouldn’t help all too much when there are just so many tiny things attacking him at once.
For Hazard, he sent a bird. Just a bird. A normal bird too. While it did catch him off guard, it was only an ordinary bird that he was easily able to dispose of once he got his bearings. His image would depict dangers that, while sometimes sudden, are foreseeable. Maybe it would be beneficial to send something otherworldly and truly unnatural at him, that way, he would hopefully struggle at figuring out what to do against such a danger.
I might be wrong on wether or not some of these would work, but it still interests me to think of what things would work better to fight against each mercenary.
I got nothing on Agent, I’ve not seen enough of his capabilities to think of potential ways to fight against him.
TSC Could possibly be able to fight Agent one on one without fear of getting outnumbered out of thin air because the other 3 are still struggling with TSC's drawings.

I wouldn't pay for it but im god damn their work is amazing
The original Animator vs Animations was 2 minutes by you alone. And years later, we have the 6th entry (part of it at least) being almost 16 minutes long with the help of so many people. Every second I was in awe, from the background, the music, the sfx, the choreography and even TSC's drawings.
The team did an amazing job and you all deserve praises for the work you manage to achieve. This is genuinely amazing and I'm glad to have been able to watch it.
and this is just ep. 1
the whole thing is probably going to be like 1 hour
Not to mention that the first ever stickman made by Alan, Victim, is here too (he's the boss in the end)

I LOVE how all the Stick Mercs have diffirent styles and powers to diffirentiate them.
An 8bit ninja, a cavepainting hunter, a sign fighter(who is animated with more choppy and stiff pose and I find it so damn cool) and a Stickman with the ability to harness photoshop.
It’s such a clever way to diffirentiate the mercs and show their powers. Typically lackeys are hard to distinguish from each other but each of these guys are unique and it’s so cool!
Damn Indie Animation has been eating good lately, the Lackadaisy Pilot, Monkey Wrench Ep 2, and now AvA S6 E1.
Super long
Knowing how the 4 Stick Figures came from SticksFight, I assume that those mercs came from different websites destroyed by Chosen One and Dark Lord back then.
And to top it off, this is all done without dialogue!
I can think of their names (can suggest better ones lol)
Byte, Brush, Chopper and PhotoAgent
Don't forget Gildedguy
15:05 there’s so many of them O:

dude he is just drawing and making the perfect story that makes a perfect story even with no voices
As kids, we got to watch this person make a simple yet creative take on stick fighting animations, but as we grew up we watched him evolve. Now he makes high quality animated productions with stunning angles and fight choreography as he continues the ongoing story he started long ago! Alan has come a long way and I'm glad I've been able to grow up with his animations.
Same, dude.

I love that you can actually see Minecraft logo at the bottom left at 3:54 nice little detail
6:50 Orange: AHHHHH WHYYYY Everyone: noooooo Alan: ..? My computer...
😂🤣
This is another masterpiece in the making. The mercenaries are all so unique, one is pixelated and fights with cartoony weapons, one is using medieval weapons because it's artstyle looks like the cave paintings of the cavemen, one is the standard symbol for a drawn man and mostly does a certain set of poses like the poses on signs you can see everywhere, and one can use the flash tools to fight. Would love to see more of The Second Coming's powers.
i think they might be specific references, but I'm not sure what, except for the pixel guy. He is definitely that flipnote stick figure that would beat the shit out of a wall/whatever else
I think those guys are meant to be the original four stick figures. the Flash Stick, the Flipnote Stick in Stickman Vs Wall, the Cave Stick, and the Caution Stick that's on all the signs.
@igger shut up
@@Ark_Kane112 i think the one with glasses is Johnny Rocketfingers
@igger my farts are better than Alan's farts
I still can’t believe Alan went from little shenanigans with the Chosen One, to entire plots and characters, and finally to the intensity in this stickman coucil and the animation going so high budget. This journey was so far. Great job, Alan.
nice bro

@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ Even in English commentaries these guys exist.
the second coming and the chosen one are attacked by a cave painting, a video game sprite, a warning sign and CGP Grey.
I love this. The fight choreography and animation quality is honestly better then some movies. Also I love that the male restroom sign moves like Mr. Game& Watch.
After seeing the release of VI Ep2, I returned to watch the whole series over again.
Something I noticed which may or may not be important: at the end of this episode, when the mercenaries show the Wanted poster to claim their reward, _the Wanted poster is printed in monochrome._ Food for thought.
Something I noticed is that in the very first animation in this series the weapons victims clones use are the same as the ones they use in the newest one
I'd like to point out something else for those who might have missed it. The pencil tool from the mercenaries is shown to be powerful in the hands of TSC multiple times in the second episode (perhaps too powerful). I'm calling him using a backup pencil from his pocket later. Check it out at 5:59 in this episode.
Correction, the pencil they took was the one that fell from his pocket already. I thought he somehow got one of theirs.
so...? i don't get it
Why does it matter what colour its printed in
the improvement since the last 17 years bro..
13:38 Smart Pause Number 2
13:50 Smart Pause Number 1
We literally went from a simple animator fighting back against a simple stick figure to such an expansive universe with all these amazing fight scenes.
It’s crazy, and I’m all in for it!
I still don't know why that the chosen one has been seen as the villain. It doesn't adds up
@@BenjaminM.21 he destroyed stuff with the Dark Lord when he was still around
@@Loafer0172 oh. That was true. Until he had realize what he had done.
@@BenjaminM.21 yep he changed but we do not forget past he with dark lord destroy internet stick figure
@@runajain5773 yeah.
i love how the AvA series has went from basically a stick figure fighting deskop features, to a animation masterpiece combining 2D animation, 3D animation, and Pixel Animation
Something that caught my eye was the logo, because ITS THE EXACT SAME LOGO THATS USED ON THE TV IN THE KING EPISODE
These new 4 stick figures are so great. I love their distinct fighting styles:
- Adobe Stickman uses Windows / Adobe tools as weapons and gadgets
- Cave Art Guy uses tribalism like tactics complimented by their scary raw brute strength
- Sign Guy uses an unpredictable movement pattern to get the upper hand in close combat while also using signs as different abilities
- Pixel Stickman uses a vast versatile arsenal of different weapons that generates from their body
Same. Can’t wait to see them in action again.
Plus, Adobe moves like a sticknodes character with very straight limb segments, so I nicknamed them "Nodes" since it also sounds a little like "Neo" with the shades and all
Sign Guy = great super smash bros ultimate character ngl
I don't think they are from Adobe. While they have the toolbar from Adobe as some sort of "Toolbelt", they seem to be more like a Pivot Animator stickman. Since their limbs are straight stiff and the solid white head and flat angular glasses are something that would easily be done in the application. They seem to be using Adobe as more as a tool.
No only 3 is new that 1 is the oldest one
I freakin love how over the years Alan has somehow managed to give each of the stick figures a personality just by the way they interact with each other
I KNOW RIGHT? I LOVE ITT
And they’re friendship is so much BETTER THAN MY LIFEEE 😭 😭 😭

I like how the villains actually have their own unique style and personality. The pixel dude has an anime-like style. The bathroom/warning sign character is real Mr. Game-and-Watch vibes. The flip note sketch has a hunting warrior prowess. And then the more refined “it’s just business” aura. Really makes me excited to see how this develops and how enjoyable these fights are gonna be.
Edit: The mercenaries are antagonists and so far have not shown signs of being a super mega evil villain corporation. The sketch is a cave man drawing, which makes much more sense than what I thought.

I love how in just this first one, it seems like they’re trying to arrest TCO for their crimes against stickmanity, but at the end and through the next one it becomes clear that Victim is going after TCO for what he knows about The Animator or because he suspected they were working together. Whether it’s a warped version of justice or just plain revenge is open to interpretation right now, but I love the narrative without the dialogue.
11:11 the iphone police dude is my new fav side character
this has got to be my favorite episode so far, even after "the box" I still think I like this one more. it's funny when it needs to be, it's suspenseful, it's emotional, it's animated better than just about anything else I've seen, maybe even better than most of the netflix cartoons I've watched, it's incredibly well thought out
I could go on but I feel we'd be here for a few hours
I jus-
it's perfect
I love that over the years the relationship with the animator and his creations went from vengeful to playful, in parts just goofing around having fights.
My theory is that these characters represent the different eras of drawing, ancient crude, early and snappy, retro and exaggerated, and finally smooth and consistent.
SO RETRO
The early and snappy is the toilet advertising one?
@@Logicalbeni yep.
@@yourpal_misteryI’m sure one of these is the man in the car signs
the retro one seems to be inspired by Flipnote Stick Fighters.
I think that if the 'tan guy' that TCO saved was 'king' it could be a cool Easter egg
The transition from intense action sequences to Alan and the stick figures having some lighthearted violence between friends gave me some intense emotional whiplash but also made me giggle with delight at how much fun they were clearly having :)
Not enough people are talking about how AWESOME these new antagonists are. Pixel, Grease Pencil, and Traffic Sign (as I call them) are all so unique and each have such awesome animation styles, abilities, and fighting styles that work so well in this world, but are also so fun to watch. I can’t wait to see how they’re evolved upon in the future
I really like how the idk what you call him but the guy on the slippery floor sign or men’s bathroom sign walks it’s really cool
Its truly amazing to see him animate all this I get the reason why TCO has powers

Alan Becker you such a genius, you have created a lot of stories with out even making the characters say a single word
It is crazy how entertaining Alan makes his videos only using stick figures and they don’t even talk but you can still feel all the emotions he is trying to show us! Can’t wait for the next part!
Something that I've always been enamored by with this series is how much personality each character has-showcased most by their diverging interests and fighting styles. This is best shown in the Animation vs Minecraft playlist, since there's the most time into that and the most opportunities to give them all the tools to meld their interests and their fighting style. Despite this, most of the main 5 don't have that level of integration between interests and fighting style outside of AvM.
Obviously TSC has the most screentime, and his signature creativity has been shown from their introduction in AvA4-both in terms of figuring out different ways to defeat Alan and in terms of integrating drawing-based summons. AvA4 and 5 both showcased the latent explosive energy buried deep inside of TSC as well, though it's clear that said energy is not readily available to them. Between this episode and Animation vs Math, we see exactly how TSC can figure out complex strategies from simple escalation in logic, and that translates well into their fighting style even WITHOUT Minecraft items. Animation vs Pokémon, Animation vs League of Legends… we see it everywhere. TSC is easily the most developed on this front.
Second place is Yellow, actually. Yellow's love of engineering and coding shines through so well in Animation vs Minecraft, what with the redstone contraptions and the command blocks. But even outside of the world of Minecraft, we see Yellow's interest show itself in other places-Animation vs Arcade Games shows Yellow as effectively the main character for once, and they use their coding skills to great use for problem solving. And there's also the important point where Yellow was the only one capable of figuring out how to summon Alan in AvA5 to help TCO fight TDL. No, this isn't fully integrating Yellow's interests into their fighting style, but it's a lot closer than the other three. I can imagine Yellow continuing to be the one hacking into systems, disabling cameras, taking control of automatic defense weapons, maybe even being the one to figure out how to hotwire one or more of those weaponized vehicles from this episode (which are apparently potent enough to give TCO a lot of trouble).
Red and Green are at similar levels of development outside of AvM. Red's personality does shine through in their impulsiveness and pioneer-level problem-solving (with how they're usually the first one to try some weird strategy that the others quickly adopt when those ideas work), but Red is much more known for their affinity for animals nowadays. Meanwhile, Green's personality shines a bit less than Red's, with Green being much more perfectionistic and show-offy; though it does bleed through with having the flashiest weapon in the sparing section of this episode, I feel that Green should be at least on par with TSC in hand to hand combat by this point. In both cases, their personalities and interests only vaguely inform their fighting styles outside of the Minecraft world, and I hope they can become much more fleshed out. (Red especially deserves a notable win, seeing how they tend to go down first in many confrontations.) Since TSC is currently captured, I would love for Red and Green to become the two main fighters of the remaining four; Green could be adept at utilizing pretty much anything as a weapon (harkening to how proficient they are with the fishing rod during combat), while Red could be the one with the most unwieldy yet strangely effective tactics (perhaps with the emphasis on being the one to strike first). In fact, maybe Red could show themself as the fastest of the four after this episode, at least marginally.
And then there's poor Blue. In Minecraft, at least Blue can provide some incredibly potent support through potions and agriculture, both of which are easily accessible and weaponizable in the Minecraft world. Blue does also have some aptitude with ranged weapons, which is hinted at during the sparing match between the stick fighters and Alan, but that's so little compared to the others. Unless they begin specializing in ranged weapons specifically, I'm not sure how Blue's AvM specialty can be translated well into non-Minecraft situations. If anyone else has any thoughts about Blue, please let me know! I am at a loss with this one.
Now, I'm bringing up Red, Green, and especially Blue as a criticism purely because of how many other stick figures that have been brought in so far. Purple quickly gained a reputation as an opportunist, using quite literally anything they can get their hands on to give them an advantage (such as the character ability files in Animation vs League of Legends); they were very quickly shown to be willing to cheat and fight dirty, which immediately sets Purple apart from the main 5. King Orange, meanwhile, is much simpler and brutish in their approach to combat, relying on their ability to simply overpower others and facetank what they can't (granted, we have not seen Orange outside of AvM, so who knows how that would translate). The Chosen One and The Dark Lord have similar powers, but their personalities shine in the level of efficiency and brutality they both have, with TDL having a bit more brutality than TCO; the virus powers in AvA5 also helped to better differentiate TDL from TCO.
And then there are the four mercenaries(?) in this episode, who brilliantly showcased personality and style in their one fight against TSC. 'Flipnotes' has a style of overwhelming the target with a flurry of blows, which no other character has. Caveman really showcases low-tech weaponry and brutal strength. Stopsign is quite literally forced to be economical in motion, so that gives a feeling of deliberate control. And then Glasses is the one with the most screentime and personality shown, being both economical with tactics and being almost obsessive with taking control; I dare say that Glasses already developed a grudge against both TCO and TSC, which could be why Glasses went out of their way to personally embarrass TSC when they very much didn't have to. Point is, their personalities show loud and clear in their actions and fighting style.
I know you put a lot of love and care into these characters. It's obvious, and I love your team for it! As such, I am very much looking forward to whenever the next part of AvA6 is completed. The ending of this part makes me think that the four fighting stick figures will be driving the plot forward, and I'm excited to see how all four of them will be further characterized outside of Minecraft-especially considering how outmatched they all currently are. But they've fought through seemingly insurmountable odds before, and I can't wait to see how they manage to do so here.
Nah bro just wrote the dictionary
Flipnotes was fucking bad asss. When he started running towards TSC and his head turned into a turret that was dope asf
why are you talking about all the characters
You didn't mention Victim, he's the first to start the series.
@@animatorunoyncakatolyesi I didn't mention Victim because he was not created during a time when Alan got good at showcasing personality through animation. Victim also has not shown up in any other episode until now, so there has literally been no opportunity to GIVE Victim a personality. Talking about them was not useful for the point I was trying to make.
I really love this. You clearly appreciate this character building thoroughly and I respect that 100%. Thank you for being so detailed in this, it helps me understand them even better as well (I’ve made similar observations).
For Orange, I think he gives me the vibes of someone who isn’t very experienced (knowledgeable, yes, but not experienced) doing their best- the perfect way to describe them from fighting style to backstory. Orange’s tactics are very one-note, typically using Netherite in big hits, relying completely on large constructs. Which reflects his lack of experience perfectly, knowing what the best block is but not using every block to its fullest.
I cant believe the sign stickman is a bad guy im shaking and crying rn fr😭😭😭
Ps the flint Lockwood run tho 😂😂🤣
This is probably my twentieth time rewatching this, and yet I find a cool new detail every time. Never gets old
Never thought we'd actually see Victim ever again. Speaking of which, go back and watch the first AVA. What went from a small animation of a little stick figure, is now a full blown TV series. Similar to Camila Cuevas with Glitchtale, Alan Becker has come one hell of a long way and he should be very proud.
Web series, not a TV series.
Camila Cuevas….Goddamn
@@yeetandyum3709 what’s wrong?
At the first Animatior vs. Animation, victim was deleted.
VICTIM!!
Victim: I ALWAYS COME BACK
Too see Alan's work develop from simple Flash anims to studio level short films is amazing, I've enjoyed every second!
For all those reading this comment, go back to the "Cherry blossoms" short. There, if you look closely when purple is walking the streets, you'll see the EXACT "Wanted" poster for TCO as the one at the start of this episode. Now, this tells us two things:
1. Purple, King Orange, and TCO all live in the same "AvA" world.
2. Maybe, just maybe, purple and King Orange will make an appearance in the AvA series.
Maybe they’ll appear as allies to help sc and tcp defeat the people who were hunting them down
I think you are right, beacause at the end of AvM, Purple, Orange, SC , Red, Blue, Green and Yellow all became friends
@@BedfBjk-ee1ue yeah so they might use the Minecraft stuff they have to help them
Fnaf lore
i was thinking the same. the orange king come back in some way to get revenge...
well it's cute when alan and stickmans were fighting lol-
Alan made an entire movie using... STICK FIGURES. Out of everything, you made high-quality content using stick figures.
I am impressed with the amount of detail this animation has. Good job!
Imagine what it would be like if Alan had the resources of a big studio, the kind of masterpiece that he'd create.
he doesn't need it!
Big studios will probably slow him down with bureaucracy.
big studios will put constraints on him and force him to do certain things. its better this way.
@@crow2596 He meant resources, not having a "big studio" in his side
😮😊😮
I like how TCO gets to use his ice abilities again. Was wondering where they went
OH MY GOSH THE UPGRADE
From what started as a simple cartoon style fights now into fully fledged anime battles, you have come a long way and put in amazing effort into your projects. Please dont stop animating we love what your doing! 💙
anime?
OMG WTH 10 DOLORS ON A YT VID MAN HE MUST BE HAPPY WOAH
I mean he deserves the 10 hes soo good at yt
@@XeshTM yes this is an anime
@gts WOAH
6:52 Man, he's going to clean his desktop again. Just a simple cleaning this time
Just got to close the tab
Can't be TCO without leaving a mess
Alan must be mad 😂
Can't he just restart?
no because he’ll kill everyone in the computer
could you imagine having these 5 little guys just fighting and seeing what you're doing on your pc/laptop?
Please make another episode more and more i really love it❤❤❤.
Can we take a moment of Alan's hard work over the years? He definitely deserves it.
and it literally still making 1 animation per 1-2 months
He works so hard
He has a studio to help him now but his hard work is till there
Not only him also his team bro
"Can we take a moment-" 🤓
Alan and his team are absolute masters of their craft, turning something beloved into a legend. Astounding work. (grey is also a great colour for the villain)
the villain is a victim the first creation of alan
@@waltermendoza6791 wait fr?
Victim getting revenge after alan left him?
@@SlipperyFellow720 yeah someone was able to confirm that alan said if he were to bring back victim, victim would be gray. Also the animation style for this character is similar to victims in the first ava, which is uneven lines. You can check by looking at their head when they lean closer in this episode.
@@candlestixsmixedwithtrixs even without knowing that I already knew it was the victim because there has only been 4 stick figures drawn by alan with 2 of them being black and in the background you can see the adobe key frames
The animation is just so flowy and the backgrounds are amazing! And there is such emotion!
8:26 I loved this part of TCO seeming to realize TSC has no idea what he's doing and is now in genuine danger. (At least that's how I interpreted it.)
There's so much emotion in these little stick figures and I just don't know Alan does it. It's amazing
Honestly, this is way better than a lot of series on television
lol alan becker makes better videos than even tseries
thats cause alot of em are controled by the places they publish on like netflix etc some care more about money then anything
10M VIEWS!!!!!!!!!
I like how people like you add "honestly" To anything even tho it' completely unnecessary and has no purpose when tf did this become a trope on the internet especially TH-cam comments
@@KingRobloxOfficiall that's not a compliment you know
Alan single-handedly keeping alive an era of the internet that never had to leave in the first place
15:33 THATS the deserved one!! IN DID, HE’S NOT A FANMADE ANYMORE!!!!! YES! LES GO! also... THAT'S NOT VICTIM!! alan would say "hey guys! i watched the deserved one and i didn't comment on their videos and i will make AVA VI with the deserved one at the finale! i will recreate victim in ep 2 or lying! stay tuned!"
@@ANGYVJMejorParaTodos it’s victim stop fighting a losing battle
@@ANGYVJMejorParaTodoswho's the deserved one ??
@@Ahmad--Edits Fan made character
That's actually victim from what we know
@@Directed2212 Maybe i can do victim survived!
this stuff need to be on netflix
This is my total favourite series. REALLY GOOD!!!
This has potential written all over it! :D
Previous AvA animations were expanding on the backstory of already known stick figures and it was great.
However, the addition of so many new characters means so much possibilities for storytelling, I can't wait to see what Alan came up with!
Me too! 🖤
Yeah, it makes me wonder if this new villain is the original stick figure from the first animator vs animation.
Bro’s trying to compete with Marvel’s Multiverse and I hope for a win!
@@arnie2455 He most definitely is, look at the way the room he's in looks
I like the pixelated stick figure aswell as the chalk drawn? I think it is.
I've never seen literal stick figures, something that anyone can draw, have so much action and emotion than some popular series today. This series definitely deserves more than just being on TH-cam
True
Even better is the fact there's zero spoken dialogue
@@UnknownLemmingor facial expression
4:04 I LOVE the call back to animator vs animation IV
As a follower since day dot, I feel an emotional connection to the character arc of The Chosen One. Thanks Alan 🙌🏼💕
5:31 the fact that Alan could've right clicked , select all, and then delete their weapons and easily win but didnt shows just how much he's come to trust them on his computer
He wanted to make the fight fair
