[@AbstruseLoL]

[@rochelle1192]

His date was really pretty, ngl, and I actually feel a lil good as a black girl that there's a really nice interpretation here you know?

[@Candyrock15]

RIGHT!! I'm so glad you mentioned it. You never really see black girls in animation...so this was just really neat to see. And of course the whole animation in general was just spectacular.

[@stephenpatterson2860]

Also nice that, while she was really pretty, she wasn't like super sexualized in her design either, bouncing boobs and butt, plunging cleavage, etc. But the restraint in her design also didn't make her feel less alluring either. She's just all around a classy lady.

[@RooibosGinger]

[@Dehalove]

I really loved how she never got mad at Danny in the video for being “uncool.” It made her look genuinely sweet and Dan look really charming Edit: I made this comment before getting to the part you mentioned it so good on you for taking notice of that sentiment!

[@leavemealone802]

Is the first time I hear your voice, and is so soothing! Danny once said that your personality is a big contrast of your artwork, and is true. Your animations all all crazy, bouncing and funny, it makes the viewer excited. and yet, your voice is very serene and calm, and it so relaxing. I guess what I am trying to say is... I like your voice.

[@cheezyghost4302]

As someone who's trying to teach themselves animation, this shit is DIFFICULT, and you make it look so easy! Keep up the great work my dude

[@artofgnomes]

I feel like this is the equivalent to the entertainment industry's "triple threat" - you're incredible at animating, boarding AND directing; basically a one-man production house. I'm still absolutely blown away that music video was all you. Anyway, that's my long-winded way of saying I loved your video and the direction you took it in was perfect.

[@pendingauthor2536]

My favorite scene and the one I always go back to, is when Ninja brian strikes different poses in the roller skates scene, followed closely by the scene (once again roller skates) where he is just carrying Danny with one finger. The poses are just so dynamic and fun and the joy on Dannys face in the second one just shows how great their friendship is.

[@goodeggproductions]

I'm not sure why, but bartender Ninja Brian shaking the drink is one of the coolest animations I've ever seen. I am in total awe that you could even visualize such a shot in the first place. You are extremely impressive from all angles.

Alright, I'm just commenting for the algorithm and to say that I really enjoyed this video. Oh and also, can I just say that I loved the lighting with the contrasting colors and the focal length of the "camera"?

Bye!

The thing that really impressed me is just the sheer level of detail! My particular favorite was the hidden frames of Ninja Brian in the living room and bedroom. I noticed one by accident and started the whole video over sleuthing through to catch all those little gems

[@Jalugi1395]

I adore all the small details in this music video, like the detailed shading and focus and the changing of aspect ratios depending on the scene. It gives the animation so much life and makes it feel dynamic. It would be a dream to learn how to make something so creative and gorgeous myself some day.

[@travisfrravis9509]

I think my favorite thing about your NSP music videos is the difference in the styles. I've always loved how unique each one looks!

[@FrankFromAcc]

This is my favorite NSP video and Song. The animation just brings the BIGGEST smile to my face every time i see it. Id watch an NSP sitcom in the style. It would be amazing. You should be so proud of yourself Shoocharu. Absolutely brilliant.

[@Saltheartfreak]

Just wanna say. Dude, you are an inspiration, and I respect you highly. I went to animation school for 2 years. And hearing how you are self-taught only cements my love for your animations. It blows my mind that you made it only in 3 months. I can only guess that you had some sleepless nights in-between. I hope you get/got some well earned rest, and I look forward to the next animation piece.

That was my main take away from this video! I watched the music video over and over cause the animation is so incredible and detailed. I’ve literally shown this video to almost everyone i know solely because the video is so well done. I’m almost done with art/graphic design school right now and when he mentioned he hasn’t gone to school for any of this… I was blown away. There’s learning about it, but then there is straight up pure talent and skill and shoocharu definitely has the talent and skill.

But that is the prettiest content i've seen man you put alot of work and soul into it Im super proud of you dude much love.

As someone who dipped their feet in animation way back in my Newgrounds days but quickly gave it up because I couldn't grasp it, I thank the Internet Gods for people like you, Shoocharu - thanks for the masterpiece of a music video.

[@katetanner28]

I adore your animation style! I never rewatch things, or reread books, or listen to music on repeat. I'm just not that person. However, I watched your animation for this over ten times in a few days when it first came out because of just how beautiful it is. I think it's the bold colour choices coupled with really strong posing that make it a joy to watch over and over again. Congratulations on your excellent work!

You did such an awesome job on this music video. Thanks for posting this behind the scenes video, too. I really appreciate how/why you approached each piece of it. The art style fits the song's subject/lyrics so perfectly. My favorite parts are how you animated Danny at "So why don't we get nasty, nasty NASTY YEAH!" and the whole bit where he introduces his grandma's basset hound. Fucking hilarious. You perfectly hit the mark on helping the song with your video and vice versa; this is the perfect package deal

[@mtoboekid11mouse88]

Wow - thank you so much for making this! It was especially cool to see your process of character design, and why an artist might shake things up in terms of design over different videos (re: Danny in mansion party vs. parent's house). Your time and effort are much appreciated, both for this behind the scenes, as well as of course your fantastic music videos!

[@lordmarum]

Sometimes one doesn't realize how much effort goes into these amazing productions. Knowing how long it took and the problems you found along the way really helps one realize the inmense amount of dedication you put into these videos. Its outstanding, i love every aspect of this videoclip and i really enjoy all of them.

[@AislinKageno]

It's fantastic to get to see your process. I REALLY admire your work, and it's always amazing to get a look into your approach to storyboarding a song and how you design Dan and Brian. I also totally didn't notice the aspect ratio thing, and now I'll view the video a little differently! You and NSP do great work together - it's always a joy to see what y'all come up with combined.

[@sagardous]

As a person completely untrained in anything drawn or animated, it was FASCINATING to watch this. I spent the whole time going "oh so THAT'S why I love watching the video!". Normally, I leave music from KZbin on in the background, but this specific example is one I always keep watching without intending to, and only realize I've watched the whole thing once the song is done. Fantastic job. :)
