I love how angry Biwwy looks when correcting him on sun chips.

[@meilybox3065]

little kid energy

[@abj6920]

ADORE Justin doing Kardala's voice and just *struggling* so it doesn't become the Firbolg.

[@meilybox3065]

omg

[@shenandoahboyd4053]

This live show was actually from a few months before they started Graduation! (It was from the end of August 2019 and Grad started in October)

[@penbailey9677]

Was that when they started recording Grad? I think Grad is another one that started recording a lot earlier than it started showing, but I may be wrong

[@countingclams]

@@shenandoahboyd4053 kardala is in this viceo around the 5:50 mark tho is that a whole different live show?

[@selselsky]

You just opened my third eye with your Hell Raven design. Him looking like an edgy teenager? It makes so much sense. It puts so much into a whole different context and frankly funnier context. Chefs kiss. Brilliant, perfect. You're a genius.

[@meilybox3065]

thank you so much i love this edgy superhero

[@chloejohnson4779]

And the shorts are the thing I didn't know I needed

[@DreamsOfFire]

To make it edgier, 3 years later, here is your 666th like! 😂 I also love Hell Raven's design! I really need his gluten pain face to be a meme or gif. 😂 Awesome animatic!

[@ewade4495]

When Jeremy borrowed the face of a man to contemplate Hellraven’s hypothetical betrayal... I felt that

[@meilybox3065]

i'm in love with the way you phrased this

[@psyducktective]

Opera Man truly is the child of Amelie and Mario and that’s beautiful

[@meilybox3065]

GOOD i'm glad you noticed

[@abirej]

glad to know i wasn’t the only one r o l l i n g at biwwy’s “sUNcHiPs”

you want slim jims on your hotdog???

[@bigbadgammagnome]

The character design for all of them is superb but Hell Raven especially is SO GOOD i love him Stellar work

[@meilybox3065]

thank u!!!!!!!!!!!

[@1-800-hcbrigs]

Yes hell raven is PEAK character design

[@origaminosferatu3357]

This whole thing just makes me realise I need to find Just Us and listen to it. Kardala's return and her skit about how Jesus will not protect you is friggin ICONIC.

[@meilybox3065]

it's one of my favorite live shows they've posted, it's so good

[@johnmalley9641]

This made me realize the criminal lack of Kardala animations in the world. Thank you for helping remedy this injustice

[@meilybox3065]

there really aren't enough!!!! but how can you do kardala justice

[@dc8179]

the echolocation bit was SO funny and you made it FUNNIER I'm dying

I subscribe to countless McElroy Animatic artists, and this is the first time I've seen one go up before I had a chance to listen to the original podcast! Liked now and watching later. :)

[@meilybox3065]

:^))) the episode is so funny and i envy the people who got to see it live

[@cyprusmiraque]

Same here, I listened to this episode just because I've watched this animation so many times

[@puakaba]

these character designs are so top notch im in Love with gravelly-voiced pretty boy dell craven. also i was completely enraptured by the Cardala bit, it was so emotive and perfectly captured her chaos

[@meilybox3065]

thank you so much:^) i keep meaning to animate kardala's first scene in commitment bc it's Incredible

[@puakaba]

@@meilybox3065 omg you have my utmost respect that would be incredible

Biwwy is adorable here, and I love how you nailed the vibe of being an adult helping a kid in Clints character

[@meilybox3065]

thank u!!

[@sharacasey4071]

The Jeremy face at 4:36 contains multitudes

[@katherinehanssler226]

I loooove hell raven’s design, and Justin’s laugh as his character is very entertaining

[@meilybox3065]

opera man brings me joy

[@Ray-hk1zm]

Can't believe this doesn't include the culmination of the best romance that TAZ has ever created, Clint's Character and That Guy That Didn't Like Him (I don't remember names but I shipped them from their first interaction and actually lost my mind when they kissed because I'm stupid) Seriously, though, this is literally perfect and every single moment was Good and Correct and I loved it thank you.

This is my absolute favorite live show. Excellent animatic. The scene choices, character designs, Griffin popping up to laugh all the time, angsty teenage looking Hellraven, KARDALLA! Perfection.

[@ItsKardamin]

I was searching around for some fanart or any content online for this episode. and Im so happy you made this vid for it! The designs and all the extra details in the frames, just amazing. I gotta agree love Hell Raven's design the most. Seriously love this so much thank you for making this!

Thank the various gods for animatic creators like you. I've listened to Just Us a few times already, and was foaming at the mouth for some animations about it. Well done and thank you. This covered a lot of the best moments and probably took a ton of time to make. I've been having the worst time lately, and the MBmBaM community never fails in getting me to smile again :)

[@meilybox3065]

this comment absolutely made my day, i hope you're doing okay! much love!!❤️
