@@universenoodlesoup8462 You keep using the word "fun," I do not think it means what you think it means...

Captain Comic I mean it as something that’s entertaining and quirky! The colors of the characters and setting kind of pop, and are pleasing to look at.

Captain Comic Bruh no the art is fun to look at!

Yeah, I feel like it would lose its charm if it were fully animated.

He isn't wrong. Also the creator's political drama was rough.

@@n00bsstuff36 Yeah lol, that whole spiel from him made me unsub, like, i am a leftist aswell as him, but either way, he was being a dick, that's NOT how you get people to vote.

I feel attacked by this comment.

SAME omg

No it's not a shelf it's a closet and it's so full the doors are barely staying closed

I know :(

I feel attacked

In the priemere of Reflection (I forget the number of the ep lol) Jello said that the animated part at the end cost $14,000. That’s probably why the animation is like that.

I really liked the animation style,it reminded me of a game that I played. The way the sprites moved really add on to the show’s comedy as well!

I know, right?

Isnt it amazing how we see here Creativity really threatened directly by Exestential Fears like Hunger (if Broke, you get hungry, if you get what i mean.) That's why it's, in the end, important to change the World and have a Basic Money given to Everyone on the Planet. So no one has to fear dying for Money-reasons. I understand people's counter-argument to this 'Everyone should get money regardless of Job and all that': One of the Big Arguments is that of 'Lacking Motivation' if anyone has enough money to survive. But honestly, i think Earth needs to make this Jump and people just honestly need to get over this. You shouldnt go to work for Paper Money, the concept is just broken in itself. Humans need to get beyond this and find another Motivation to work - yeah, even the dangerous jobs even. Sorry if that's too Sci-Fi, but i honestly believe even big Concepts like Money and Base-Money and all that need to change in the name of Evolution.

@@slevinchannel7589 Well... that's your oppinion... Like most things, there are ups and downs to that propossal, I recomend that you watch Kurgeastz's video about universal basic income.

Yeah, it's really dumb. I remember watching a video on Epithet Erased where the guy said "couldn't they just make the animation better?" as if animation isn't an incredibly long and painstaking process, even if you have big budget which Epithet Erased did not.

If i'm being honest, I expected alot more when I heard Powerhouse was going to help out. got disappointed with the end result, buuut i watched it anyway and enjoyed it by the end.

Yehuda Halpern I honestly felt that the lack of animation in some scenes actually made the show more humorous, especially when the characters are narrating themselves. I thought it made the show have a unique type of humor that I personally enjoy.

Epithet earased is the best

I have a good people those people has never watched Inferno Cop or Ninja Slayer The Animation. granted, the later was given an animation budget, but still keeps that same style.

Honestly, I too was at first disappointed when I saw the show the first time. I'd been expecting something more animated, if you get what I'm saying. But, I decided to keep watching, because Jello is not the only KZfaqr out there who has done stop motion / slide show style animations to tell a story. Disappointment turned to surprise, however, as I continued to watch. And I quickly grew to adore the characters on screen. By the end of the first episode I was invested, and hungered for more. Yes, the plot is somewhat loose and a bit obviously based on a rehashing of a GURPS or DnD type game session, and without a doubt the lack of animation hurts it when it was simply branded as 'animated' (honestly, should have called it anything else if only to avoid the backlash. call it an 'Video Visual Novel' or 'Animated Webcomic' to get people's mind out of comparing it to something like Avatar the Last Airbender), but the voice acting, the humor, and the characters were so immersive, so amazing so FUN that I couldn't help but love the show.

Ok I think I agree with both of you, those are some good points.

@@No-qh3hf si

From someone who literally did a college project analysing the show. yes.

LizzieShiro I actually liked ee, but i found castlevania to be one of the worst shows I’ve watched. they are a lot different even then, thougj

An movie without an artstyle is a book, the animation style/artstyle is just as important as the story

Honestly I thought the animation style was really cute and charming

I really loved the animation it feels like a rpg or visual novel Wich was the objective so i dont understand why people talk so smack about it

It reminds me of. Super paper Mario the show is great and i want to see season 2

SAMEEE I’ve literally got like, six 3/4s completed characters just chilling in my brain that would totally go away if I just wrote a story, but I don’t have the MOTIVATION. Maybe I’ll do it during quarantine summer cause there’s nothing to doooo..

What is there to shit on Something out of control? Makes sense, seems like something peeps would care about in hs

While i love the style and dont want it to change, i can understand people wanting some more..... "movement" with the characters. its not something someone would expect from animated content and until the major animated scenes does nothing to really grab the attention of someone looking for small minor movements. (yes i realize that i just claimed the complainers have low attention spans, dont generalize yourself because i made a comment ^-^)

Justin Moore but it also makes the climaxes way more dramatic (where they animate the whole scene)

When she was speaking and she was supposed to have a scared or surprised look on her face it looked really fake and mediocre. Just a couple of dashed lines around the eyes would help and some exaggeration here and there as well but ehhhhh. I wouldn’t watch it and it’s not my thing. You can like it all you want but the thing even makes animatics look like fluid animation.

Cause they're all spoiled with flashy scenes.

@@pickletrickle4230 how are we spoiled There is barely animation

Long Fork, as someone who is working in animation production for fun. Yep. YEP YEP. Sometimes people just. Vanish from projects sometimes and you are like "shit what now!!!" And. Then you can't fine someone to fill in so you just. Do it yourself sometimes and then cry about it

@@Darkgun231 that’s true. Although now the new season won’t be a season but a book. Which I wanted it to be voiced or have a manga/comic at least to better get immersed but that’s just me.

@@dcscruz2970 It is gonna be voiced tho. There’s an audiobook being edited for it right now, with all the original cast with some new voices and new music

@@braintrope4736 but I want the images. The weird images man

@@dcscruz2970 There will be a few illustrations. Not a lot but it’s not nothing. I believe there’s a couple he’s already posted on his patreon

Now we know why it was so disappointingly nonexistent.

I don't even mind the animation. The writing is the show's strongest point anyway. Plus, it's a free youtube show that was released weekly. Proper animation would have taken a lot more time and money

Heino Kunzelmann rwby was a free show and it had animation, not very good but it was animation

@@lauralaura4362 it was also cg and from what I'm told that's considerably easier to animate than traditional 2D. Plus, with Epithet's emphasis on intricate character dwsigns I don't think 3D animation like RWBY's was ever going to happen

@@lauralaura4362 3d animation is way easier compare to 2d animation

Sometimes you need to ignore the shit people say and just do the things you enjoy because you have fun making it - and more often than not the experience is 100% more rewarding 👍🏻

Please do watch it!

At first I didn’t want to get into it... cuz I thought it was weeaboo trash but then I finally locked myself in my room so my brothers don’t make fun of me, I started to watch and it was *good*

Why wait? Just do it now with no choice in the matter!

The whole series is free on KZfaq. I totally recommend it. The animation is sparse but it's super funny and Giovanni is very lovable.

The characters are amazing my dude

This happens all the time, like seriously all the time. An example would be Danny Phantom, Butch Heartman has said himself that he was just barely forming the idea and at lunch with an exec he shot the pitch and it was greenlit, without a single finished drawing or anything. It happens with sit coms and reality T.v a lot as well, and the schedule and management issues in epithet erased are nothing compared to many hollywood movies

Given the example of Danny Phantom, a lot more are coming to mind.

Agreed. I couldn't even get past the first minute of the first episode. I hated the animation.

Nepotism, that's how.

@@OneDude7745 What's wrong with the animation?

Green screen background

Epithet: Overlay

I'd say so

i know, it's so unsettling

He upgraded his drivers and downloaded more RAM, thats why he speaks faster

I thought I left KZfaq on 1.5x speed

I don't have to speed up the videos any more!

Nice

Good for him! He's chipping away at his debt from one show, so he can afford the debt for the next season of the show. ...My God, he's a dang Animal Crossing protagonist!

Ikr I refuse to believe that this is a true Daft video lol

Maybe in the future daft will 100% speak like a normal person.

@@xxmodzhaxsxx7910 I hope not

He speaks (somewhat) normally now. :/

I can see why. Reading through the comments before getting to the part of the video where it first shows the 'animation' I was expecting something sloppy, not a literal complete lack of actual animation. Some shows do that to take the piss (*cough* studio trigger), but is that how epithet literally always looks?

@@KingHalbatorix seems to be 60% sliding pngs, and 30% animation. 10% credits But don't let the little kids see you insulting the amazingly " animated " EE. they'll call you a boomer and ruin your day! :)

Temmie Plays! That’s still animation. It’s not amazing but that still technically counts as animation

I'm not a big fan of the animation since its very janky at some times, sometimes smooth looks better than un natural movement

@@TemmiePlays This honestly comes off as you being salty for whatever reason. I have yet to see any fan describe the animation as amazing.

@@dont4get2bleed I'd be weird it was only 2 hours

Lightning D0!t yeah, the video isn’t even that bad. We have people like onision and jake Paul on this platform, I think a dude making a very bias video about voting is probably not the best but certainly not as bad as everyone acts like it is.

Oh no this person has an actual political opinion and wanted to advocate for it! How inhumane! Oh, wait, that’s actually a really human thing to have. Why was anyone mad again?

@@celestinebuendia This is how I see it. I'm very confused at all the backlash.

@@celestinebuendia No, it's not just having a political opinion like everyone else. You're wrong and here is why. Not everyone else has an audience attempt to coherence them in to voting for who (they as a creator), want to win. That is why you see that video of all those Hollywood stars telling you to vote for Hillary got so much flak and negative attention. Besides the fact it is cringey, it is manipulative and can be considered 'taking advantage'. You also would feel the same way if your company/boss was doing the same thing. Their is a power dynamic there that makes it fucked up and/or just a shitty thing to do.

TotalSmashTV That seems like a whole paragraph just to say "any famous person can't say 'there' political opinions because manipulation and stuff"

I agree with you here, but I have one thing to say to you. Never say never…

Same. 😊

It plays well for how the series works and is told, its honestly kinda a bonus once use to it.

The animations are really simple, but used super effectively.

If it'd been called anything other than simply 'an animated show,' then I think it'd have less critics of the style. Call it a 'Video Visual Novel,' or 'Mixed Media Webcomic,' or 'Slideshow Puppetshow.' Yes, it's hard to explain what genre it is before it's even made, but I truly think people wouldn't be so complain-y if the name was changed.
