Melanie 10 months of work split between multiple people, albeit still an insane amount of work. People tend to underestimate how much goes into animation and all.

Melanie and I really think ten months is for = 5 months for animating + 5 months for voice acting = 1 EPISODE FOR 10 MONTHS, DONE!

Just a testament to how good this show is and how much I appreciate all the people who work on it--when I first saw ads for Gravity Falls, I was sure I would hate it. I was convinced it was going to be a flop. Watched one episode, was instantly hooked. Now my entire family and I are sucked in and can't wait for Season 2. That's two 40+'s, two twenty-somethings, and a 16-year-old. How's THAT for demographic appeal?

You know, you know you love Gravity Falls when you have individual images of Mabel wearing every one of her sweaters on a corkboard.

"HAPPY TAKE BACK THE FALLS DAY EVERYONE!!!!!!!!! THE DAY GRAVITY FALLS SADLY but SUCCESSFULLY ENDED AND FINISHED EVERYTHING IT STARTED FROM SEASON 1 EPISODE 1! I`M GLAD PEOPLE LIKE THIS SHOW. It means a LOT to me, and every Febuary 15th, i`m watching this video and many more for hope of a season 3 of Gravity Falls. Even if it may never come back, at least i`ll never forget it... But... Gravity Falls was never men`t to be a series that goes on, and on, forever, it was men`t to be an exploration*, of the *experience summer, & in a larger sense, a story about child hood itself. The fact that child hood ends is EXACTLY what makes it so precious, and why you should cherish it while it lasts. But: I promise to be like Dipper and try to solve the unknown. I promise to remember Tambry when I see someone to attached to there phone. I promise to be like Pacifica and stand up for whats right. I promise to be like Soos and help everyone in sight. I promise to be like Mabel and love my brothers. I promise to be like Wendy and confront rude others. I promise to be like Ford and remember being smart isn`t bad. I promise to remember Stan`s jokes when im sad. I promise to be like Candy and Grinda and not care what anyone says. I promise to be like Bill and live life good for the rest of my days. And I promise to remember this little show, and EVERYTHING it did to help me grow.... Also if your a fan of Gravity Falls like me, this is the Final and last page of the Gravity Falls journal 3 : It`s a beautiful summer day. Everyone is packing for their respective futures, but I have found my mind drifting to how lovely the cloudless sky looks beneath Augest sun. I`ve spent too Long with me head in a book; it`s time to look at the world---and people around me once more. But what to do with these journals? They`ve been created, destroyed, lost, found, buried, and burned, and yet, somehow, despite everything, they remain here like a curse I cannot escape. I suggested to Dipper that becouse of all the misfortune caused by them, we burn them in the last campfire of the summer. Mabel, Soos, & Stan all seemed very exited with this notion. But Dipper had a better idea; we brn all my Bill Cipher artifacts instead. So we did. My scrolls, carpets, window . . . every I`d ever collected with Bill went into the fire. We made s`mores and told stories until sunrise. It was Mabel who ultimately came up with the best solution of what to do with the journals. . . . And so here we are at the Bottumless Pit, a mystery of Gravity Falls that I has still never fully solved. Based on my investagations, tossing these journals inside could land them just about anywhere. They may end up in the center of the Earth, being devoured by a subterrean dintosour, or in anouther dimention, or somehow in the hands of anouther curious young mind whose adventure has just begun . . . perhaps somehow will find secrets in this book that where hidden from even me . . . And that brings us to you, dear reader, If you are holding this book in your hands, you hold something more than a record of the curious happening of a town called Gravity Falls. You hold a record of one man`s folly and the kindness of a family that saved him from himself. It`s never to late to learn that growing old doesn`t have to mean growing up. Stay curious, stay weird, stay kind, and don`t let anyone tell you arn`t smart, or brave, or worthy enought. If you have come on these adventures with us, then you are an honorary member of the Pines family, and your adventure starts today. And if anyone ever gets in your way, well, we have an entire section on Curses. Have at it. For the last time, unless we meet in some distant world, this is ✋ Stanford Pines 'signing off. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A true fan, like myself, will always be there when they can for this show, and many fans may have left, but true fans stay, im helping to keep the fandom alive, and for long as I can, and I how you can to, and Thank you Alex Hirsch, and the intire Gravity Falls Fandom, cast, and crew, for makeing this show happen....

I have an idea for an episode so dipper gets mad cuz everyone laughs at him about the monster stuff In his book so he goes to the lake and he sees a huge broken metal pole. In his rage he throws it in the water and the monster from cloverfield emerges from the water. It chases him into downtown GF where it attacks the city so dipper gets Mabel and together they have to get all of their friends and they must find a way to destroy it.

[@DeeCross]

Most production techniques used specifically in anime were actually designed to help cut down production time. Anime also has to bend to different demands from the station, and there's been plenty of recent complaints on twitter from animators about the close deadlines. Western shows, meanwhile, actually vary wildly in production time depending on the animation method - for example The Simpsons takes nine months, My Little Pony takes three months, and South Park takes a _single week_.
