For those of you wondering, yes I'm the original author of the DeviantArt comic Error Code 16. I started that comic when I was 12 years old. Although I will forever remember and cherish the overwhelming support I received from making that comic, which certainly set the trajectory for my future work, and motivated me to continue making comics, please stop bringing it up. I don't want my current art defined by a middle schooler's attempt at writing a cohesive story. I didn't even have a script for it, I just drew what I liked and thought would make sense because that's what children do. I reiterate, however, that I am immensely grateful for all of the incredibly supportive people in this comment section. I wasn't expecting it. 29k views, that's INSANE!! Thank you all!

The part when the singer started screaming “can’t you see?” Always brings shivers down my spine.

Zim and Dib being to relatable for 4 minutes and 51 seconds. The ending is sweet tho, Zim is just there for Dib. Everything seems peaceful yet vast, I think to show the long journey to recovery they both will have.

Therapist: Zim with a nose isn’t real, he can’t hurt you Zim with a nose: This animation is amazing tho. Can’t stop rewatching

I cant tell you how many times ive sat down and rewatched this. the storyboarding is MAGNIFICENT. the screaming part always makes me tear up and ache inside

bro gave the space roach a mullet

holy hell that is one of the best abominations i have ever seen. im stunned

I wanna know what was said between them in the hall, and im guessing dib passed out from a lack of food/loss of blood Zim, he seems so upset when he's thinking about the positive moments, and that scene where he realized the tallest cut him off, that black and white scene? Fantastic, amazing, it really carries the intended emotions, its beautiful and I wish it was longer because just, the movements, were just fantastic and I wanna animate something like that now

I love how zim is having a momento of dismorphia, not just with his irken - human identity, but with his social gender construct and general appearance

What a unrated animatic this is so good and so clean with movements and transitions and I love you artstyle too and the song fits for zim so much with him trying to prove himself you did a really job

I just i just got emotional with an invader zim animatic, wtf?! Well done dude i really wasn't expecting it to be so good!

1:47 when zim smiled when dib came by but then dib just walked away 😭

Escuchar tantas veces esto me hace sentir mal por Zim, me gustaría saber más de este AU, es un increíble trabajo. Las emociones son tantas y la desesperación de que Los Altos ni siquiera mostraran interés en contestar las llamadas de Zim me llegó al corazón. Fácilmente sin leer el título, pensé que era algo ZaDr, aún así no me importa mucho si hay romance o no entre ellos, su relación se ve muy bien como lo pones. Me encantaría si en algún futuro tuvieras más redes para poder seguir tu trabajo.

this is so amazing, the animation is so smooth and i love the outfits and designs you gave zim! would love to see more about your au/headcanons?

DANGIT I WROTE A LONG COMMENT AND THE TAB RELOADED BEFORE IT POSTED -SHAPES GOOD -lines thin and nice -so much animate -colors are dull and that's nice I like this shot of dib on the bench here 1:52 I really like this part when there's the abstraction to convey feeling 3:08 I like when he puts on disguise 3:37 I MIGHT COMMENT MORE LATER u get to be on the top of my zim playlist :P I wanna talk about story I am just FRAZZLED BY IT BEING GOOD ALSO THAT U FINISHED IT SO FAST

Sure every comment on this video makes clear how good it's your video. And I'm just a person who is infinitely glad that Invader Zim gets more and more content. I love your video, I'm so glad you make this animatic and at top, I ADORE, that it's ZaDf. We need more ZaDf stuff for real haha. You have no idea how much this video made me happy in so many ways. Thank you.

FEMME ZIM??? REVOLUTIONARY????"?"?!!!!!! THIS IS AMAZING

DUDEE!!!!!!! The emotion you have put into this is REALLLL!!! The art is just MWA and everything about this animatic I love!! Can't wait to engulf more of your content! ❤

Omg, the song hits it so well that I can feel the, well, THE ENTIRE FEELING IN MY VEINS, and I love it- That moment when Zim scream "can't you see?", It almost makes me cry (sorry if something I said sounds dumb? Aaaa, English isn't my lenguaje matern... But, well, that's not the point XD) Your art style, the way you animated this, all the feelings it haves on it, the facial expressions, ah it is glorious

This is so well made and so emotional, it's beautiful, holy shit I never thought I'd cry over a nickelodeon alien-

I’m crying, this is so so beautiful dude, THIS IS ART

Oh I love your art style so much. I am in love. Seriously. This just made my day. The au is great, the animation is super smooth and your consistency is on fleek. I love this. I dunno what else to say.

Dude, The animation is AMAZING. It's so fluid in parts and I just cannot get enough

damn this is amazing. you call it an animatic but so much of it is proper animation! awesome work

Bro dragging me back into invader zim, this is fuckin amazing

If you have a good scene with a good song it gives me goosebumps or gives my spine a shiver, you have given me both. Great art and great song, thank you.

Just barely found this and I’m in love, the animation is amazing, this is incredible and you draw them so cute! My boys! I adore that Gaz actually cares for Dib in this. I’m confused a little at the ending, was Zim just imagining their friendship to graduation?

Well bloody hell, now did thst hit quite dam hard, loved how you devolped Zim, the ball of issues they are, and how they tried teaching out, and while it helped, their is still far for them to go, thank you ny friend, keep at it

I love how you portray the characters and- To be honest I can't even put it all into words but this animation means so much to me. Thank you.

I AM CRYING LIKE A LITTLE GIRL THIS IS SO EMOTIONAL AND AMAZING!!! damn it made me feel something i haven't felt in years and I felt a kind of catharsis after watching this i still have no words I LOVE DIB AND ZIM SO MUCH-

OMG! I love your art 🌟 I need a fic with this theme, just awesome

Wow, this is truly incredible and just packed with emotions! You deserve way more attention! ^^👌🏻💕 I wonder what happened to Dib and why he developed an eating disorder. Poor guy... 😔

This is so AMAZING! The animatic, the story, and even more! I loved it. New sub. ✨✨

Aw. You made me cry. I needed that, thanks. 🥲

im literally crying 😭 bro this animation is so good

not only did you say this is your first animatic, but first youtube video!? This is so good (and so long) I am blown away 😧 Beautiful artwork and animation that connects it all, I am invested in this storyline

artistic liberties are the best

Everytime i watch this its like my tentb time now i end up crying for one reason or another it keeps changing

This is really good!

I can't stop watching this

Zim is very cute in your style :D

ALRIGHT SHOW ME YOUR SQUIGGLY SPLOOGE! I know you're all aliens!

Number one, I love this song (the original one by falling in reverse but still) and I'm glad that somebody made an invader zim animatic for it. Number 2, this is an emotional song and I think that the animation you made for it was perfect. I love this and it is true art 👍

I watched this video last year and it gives me the same emotion. I love it. The drawings, the designs, the plot and everything else, give a special touch among all the alternate universes made by Invader Zim fans.

This ACTUALLY made me cry :)

Dios no paro de ver este animatic, es demasiado bueno y hermoso, LO AMO!!!!

This animation is fantastic what an amazing video!
