[@PikaPetey]

most people dont understand the amount of work that goes into animation and are like "you haven't uploaded anything for a while. i thought you were dead!"

[@jessevasquez2598]

Pikapetey Animations ikr?

[@OtaKing77077]

What if I'm dead and that's the twist, though?

[@mactavish100078]

OtaKing77077 DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUNNNNNNN

[@PikaPetey]

OtaKing77077 Then the force is strong with you if your ghost is continuing your work.

[@ScottJohnHarrison]

I didn't think he was dead - Working full time in animation earning a living maybe. I am glad this is up - When I have a full time job Otaking and Harry Partridge animation patreon support go.

[@StarWarsAnime]

Your "camera movement" is fantastic, always been impressed with your style, good luck.

[@GusOfTheDorks]

Space Vietnam Mecca Film......well I'm sold

[@OtaKing77077]

I heartily reccomend Gundam: 08th MS Team to you. Also Armored Trooper Votoms, which is very space Vietnam indeed.

[@GusOfTheDorks]

OtaKing77077 My biggest problem with that is actually finding copies of Votoms. I know about them because I watched some of "Armor Hunter Mellowink" but finding copies in stores or at conventions has been really hard.

[@dazooej5785]

OtaKing77077 if that's what you are doing then I'm whole heartily behind you, my only wish is that I could help in some way other then shouting money. If only I had the better skills to help with animation. Love the idea of your real mecha, I hope it has all of the style that you put in to your work as with the grit from western film if the idea is around Vietnam war.

[@dazooej5785]

Gus Of the Six Sided Dorks i always liked that series of mellowlink armour hunter

[@MercenaryPen]

Definitely liking the reference to 08th MS team here, because for choreography and pacing I've seen few battles that come close to the Gundam versus Gouf custom fight in that series.

[@Heysamgrahamcartoons]

Dude! You deserve all the money in the world for crafting such slick retro awesomeness! F yeah!!1

[@nikosantos1172]

or or orrrr we can get rid of money altogether

[@OutlawsGraveyardShift]

You seem so humble and I love your work so much. When I have a job, I'll definitely patron you.

[@OtaKing77077]

Thanks! Much appreciated!

[@SithDarthMax]

Likewise, currently trying to get a side-job at the local library, and if it actually works out I'm keeping your patreon in mind. Never give up. I still watch Tie Fighter whenever I'm about to fall asleep whilst writing an university essay 24 hours before the deadline, and being the best thing on youtube it still instantly wakes me up.

[@Funkopotomis]

Dear: Japan, Republic of hire this dude until then i can pay for 1 ham sandwich and even the condiment (singular) on it Get your shit together, Japan, Funkopotomis

[@OtaKing77077]

Your gift of ham is truly the gift that keeps on giving. I thank you from the bottom of my organs.

[@Funkopotomis]

bruh after episode 7 and rogue one i basically wrote off star wars but you let me love that dusty collection of vhs in my room again thank you seriously

[@BuckingBadger]

Japan is a constitutional monarchy not a republic

[@TheWarmachine375]

For the Republic!

[@GenoX1987]

You deserve far more than 1 and 5 dollar patreon rewards, dude. Your stuff is amazing. For all the hacks on youtube who make easy patreon money doing fuck all for work, you're busting your balls to give us amazing animation. Please consider adding higher patreon donations. You owe it to yourself!

[@OneMove33]

How much did Anita Sarkeisian make for doing nothing but bitch about nothing? Sickens me....

[@randomstormtrooper1529]

Will you ever make a sequel to TIE Fighter?

[@lakamokolaka]

Now I need to work more to get more money because I so want to help fund artists like you in anyway I can, you do work that animation companies take an entire staff and crew to do and that is just amazing.

[@OtaKing77077]

Haha, nah, you don't have to pay anything. Just the support is enough, really. Well, that and a ham sandwich a day, I guess.

[@lakamokolaka]

OtaKing77077​ Too late already became a 5 dollar patron I think this is worth the time investing into And also watching to see how far your sandwhich addiction goes

[@OtaKing77077]

Haha, cheers! I shall keep you updated.

[@gungriffen]

Make sure you link this video to your Star Wars video!

[@MajorCoolD]

Agreed, I mean your Star Wars Movie was watched more than 7 million times... I mean, heck, get 1/100th of those people to give you a dollar per month on Patreon and you're pretty much in the clear :)

[@MGSBigBoss77]

And to his Dr Who Anime feature as well. Both are hugely liked and beloved by fans.

[@cid76]

Indeed, that video is the 'appetizer' that will lure swarms of supporters, but anyway, what advantages give patreon compared to Kickstarter that probably is the most famous crowdfunding in the web? I have seen projects regarding Tabletop games with a design like chibi anime getting 2-4 milions of USD as funding, so a video with anime design of 80s/early 90s and with that jolly that was Tie fighter short movie under his belt it could provide IMHO far more funds in KS than Patreon

[@Bogeyatyour6YT]

Damn is the world small, hi Andrew :D (I'm Erwin from the DCS group)

[@AgitoBlues]

Love how you mixed in Guile's new V-trigger into his moves, truly a masterful combination of old and new.

[@charb2451]

have you tried contacting Netflix

[@charb2451]

maybe a netflix original amine

[@M_Lynn]

illusive C. I think that's a really good idea. Go for it, Paul!

[@actanonverba1385]

I second this, he should contact Netflix

[@fuckinantipope5511]

LucasArts also needs to get involved since they have the rights but it would be awesome if they back him

[@BrunoSantos-jp1lv]

@@fuckinantipope5511 they never mentioned Star Wars

[@keith8880]

I wonder how much would I have to pay this guy to adapt "The Black swordsman" Arc of the Berserk manga.

[@SHNASTTV]

I definitley would like to hire Paul in the future. Long live 80s, Anime, and Quality Work!

[@ChairThrowingTime]

All I can think of is "I'd buy that for a dollar!"

[@jonathanporter5223]

A anime Robocop would be so badass.

[@ypucandeleteit]

I love old the old anime art style and you do It brilliantly! Also how you made the star wars clip from the empire's point of view was a breath of fresh air. You have a lot of love from me man, I hope you get money for more than enough sandwiches :D

[@Ferrettgg]

Absolutely love your work man, keep up the awesome work!

[@metalltitan]

Your work is gorgous. Really brings back the feeling of the old days of anime. Really love it.

[@starmorpheus]

Finally, I've always wanted a way to support you, this will make things easier. Just keep those Godlike animations coming.

[@ejrasmussen]

Your work is amazing Paul, such a huge fan. Wish you had a whole team to help you make these amazing shorts, you deserve it!!!

[@theAlphatron]

Absolutely beautiful work!

[@blargcoster]

I just watched the R-Type video of yours without the dialogue on a recommended video and I absolutely loved it. Like holy shit I've not seen a better animation about one of my favorite games. I shared the video to everyone I know and you've earned another patron with me; you deserve it.

[@ESO_PRIME]

WOW!!! Your amazing!!!!! I'm part of a huge Transformer G1 fan club and we're mad that Hasbro hasn't given us what we want in the past 20 years!!! I'm going to pitch to the multiple fan clubs I know to get you funded to animate a true Transformers animation G1 style!!!! OMG! I would die if that ever happened!!! LOVE YOUR WORK!!! Thank you for keeping the old school anime style alive!!!

[@punkyagogo]

Oh, hell yes! You are easily one of my favorite animators on this entire site. I'll definitely check out your patreon :D

[@daniellissamore740]

I just love the way the camera moves and zooms...whilst the drawings are brilliant the choice of shots is sublime...when I found out you just do this stuff on your own I was blown away.

[@bladerunnerjp]

Love your work and the era of animation you pay homage to. I'll be supporting your Patreon and would really appreciate as much insight and tutorial-type content as you can provide. I do video production but I've always wanted to learn animation.

[@michaelresendes7947]

Very nice action style and detail! Loving it, man!

[@VampireConnoisseur]

4 years, incredible level of dedication. that video deserve al its sucess

[@BritainUnderAttack]

Wow. I have only seen 3 of your videos, and already you are my hero.

[@other-terrestriallifeform1851]

Respect!I love your work!

[@thedrunkenrabbit635]

I only have one thing to say "WOW" blessings to your skills.

[@Marcells44]

"Less attractive in real life". Awesome. The world needs humor like that. Thanks you very much for this and your animations which are amazing.

[@onryu]

Dude great work, looking forward to your future projects

[@wolf688]

Awesome work! Keep the style alive!

[@nekoryu2024]

Dude love your work as soon as I saw your work I was hit with a wave of nostalgia of all those awsome 80s 90s animes I grew up watching 😁

[@sirc625]

I grew up watching "Golden Age" anime from the 80's and your animation style takes me right back. Keep up the great work!

[@HipsterEatinShark]

Dude, I absolutely love your work! It's like (80s) Voltron, Heavy Metal, Thundercats, and Captain Power all rolled up into one action packed, mega-well produced short. I would watch your stuff over, like, 80% of what's out these days! I just subscribed and will hit up your patreon immediately. Keep up the great work!

[@BadgerzNadgerz]

I knew there were things I loved about anime from the Akira era, and something so wonderful about watching it and just experiencing every frame. When I watched TIE Fighter, I knew exactly what that was, because you had distilled it perfectly. I adore your style and your work is incredible. Sadly I'm not in a position to contribute to your patreon right now, but when I am I'll absolutely contribute!

[@tonyrichengod9280]

You got yourself a patron, bro! Keep at it!

[@PhoenixGaming]

You've got some great stuff here. Please don't stop!

[@lvait957]

Sir, you are a treasure. Keep up the good work.

[@NelsonStJames]

Dude, you really are the OtaKing ! I will gladly keep you in Top Ramen and ham sandwiches.

[@xavier21282]

Love Your Work Bro!

[@dante3790]

the style of your animation is beautiful since day one I've seen it I support it. Go for it, I'm definitely going to sign up. You have a lot of potential and I look forward to seeing more of it!!!

[@neelyUScongress]

Why the hell knows companies in Japan that produce anime have not contacted this guy because he's a Gaijin? Period. And maybe because his style pretty much succeeds what they gave up on old school anime, is the best all the top animation companies in Japan should have been in contact with this guy. But nowadays they just Farm out the animation to place it like career Singapore Malaysia blah blah

[@GiffysChannel]

You have a brand new Ground Trooper right here! Keep up the amazing work!!!

[@Aurora07]

Crazy talented. Great work keep it up.

[@spiritwolf7166]

Your work is amazing👍

[@SuperShotgun300]

Awesome, always good to see more stuff from you dude! Amazing animation skills and the style is wicked sick! Looking forward to the Street Fighter one too

[@makgeoff]

Just discovered yr work. Very good stuff!!

[@gtnsbossman]

You now have a new follower. LOVE THIS

[@richardched6085]

I appreciate that your even willing to make such awesome animations. I wish I had that talent as I'm interested in many of the same things.

[@arcadiumstudio559]

Kickass, wish the best of luck.

[@Kooljupiter]

your a beast! keep up the Amazing Work!!

[@A_rt_non]

Doing a Patreon is a good idea to keep your work going, and I like that you bring back the retro feeling of old anime, you're Gainax in one men.

[@Lance-Urbanian-MNB]

Absolute incredible work that you show here. I watched the Tie Fighter clip over and over and it never gets old. Love your style. Some review dopes call it 80's art almost implying that it's cheap and not comparable to more modern animation works but I say it's only the 80's kind of blueprint that's used and then infused with brilliant movement and shading techniques. The Street Fighter homage comes a lot closer to the original game then the recent animations have. Cammy is especially well portrayed as a (from the game) fighter then the oversexed anime figure that industry made her into. Love the moves that are nicely put into action as if watching a game fight but also an animation video.

[@wavavoom]

To be honest, I have never done Patreon, but yours seems like a worthwhile cause. Not doing it for accolades, you do great work

[@phoenix1619100]

Dude, I would pay for your work m8! The skill I see here blows my mind...I would love to see more of your work ;-)

[@ABC21129]

I've never really cared for anime but watching your Tie Fighter short film really showed me why you care for the style, your work is fantastic and extremely detailed and realistic and it never hurt to see the Empire win ;) I look forward to seeing what you else you'll release. I wish you all the success in the world.

[@Element_Z48]

Keep up the great work!

[@lukevankleef4245]

If my dream of creating my own animated series ever comes true, YOU are the animator. Its going to be awesome!

[@zact9743]

man you're amazing. i wish i had the persistance to make some of the things you make. let alone make it the way you do!

[@ScottJohnHarrison]

I love that Mayor Haggar cameo in the first five seconds of the SF animation.

[@xyvxyethe5584]

4 years of weekends to make?? and it's only 7+ minutes long?? woahh thats a dedication, more like devotion. great job mate, great job.

[@maxmac2664]

one of the coolest animator ever!! Maybe do a playlist for each topic! like star wars playlist... btw enjoyed the t-short film really much❤

[@parkflyerindonesia8073]

Paul, you successfully merged between Gundam and Star Wars. Your work is simply stunning and exceptional, as you did the drawing, alone.

[@Chilnvillain]

This is some of the best animation stuff i have seen in years. This really reminds me of the old robotech style animation. Well done sir. If i could pateron ya, I would, but im hard up myself these days...

[@312eldor]

I am quite a big fan of Group B rallying. It could be an awesome piece of anime. Even the era is fitting to your 80s style animation. I love it!

[@matthewtaylorson1234]

im so glad to see that all these years later your still at this, good for you man im so like happy for you :D and im happy :D (if you dont mind and if its no problem, maybe in the future, has a resident evil animation crossed your mind?) i loved your Tie Fighter one & Doctor Who one.

[@busnut33]

If you made home made dvds I'd buy that up in a second! You are legend!!!

[@Jonathan-hd7fl]

I love your style of animation and Tie Fighter is my all time favorite short animated film. Also your voice is wonderful, you should do some kind of voice over work.

[@awsomedudaz]

Wow this is amazingly good, can't believe iv'e never seen this before

[@eblgraphics]

My God man you are amazing...

[@robertochacon5338]

[@spacefleming5390]

So amazing...

[@waaaaaaah5135]

I think you shall be my first patron that I support

[@sev8086]

You now have a new patron! Thank you for all your amazing animations, the TIE Fighter one is on my phone, I watch it all the time . What I would like to see is a First Order TIE Fighter video, it would promote the new generation of Star Wars as well as still pay respects to the classic era! ~TI-80807, 501st Legion, Pacific Outpost

[@ilyantresong]

Wow, stunning animation back to when i first watched Akira when it first come out, always loved the lighting and contrast's with 80-90's anime

Your work is incredible. Just seeing the posters on the wall in your intro made me sign-up immediately to donate to your cause. Sol Bianca and Project A-KO are some of my fav animes and your art harkens back to that incredibly amazing time in animation. I will gladly help you stuff your face with sandwiches. I look forward to seeing more from you!

[@OtaKing77077]

Thanks very much! It still rustles my jimmies that we'll never get an ending to Sol Bianca.
