[@AbstruseLoL]

Absolutely! The characters were animated so well, and had a ton of fully realized personality. And the setting! I loved the way those buildings slid into the cityscape when the taxi left the bar. What a blast!

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.

[@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!

[@RooibosGinger]

I love the scene with ninja Brian showing the girl a meme. Who doesn’t like wholesome?

[@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.

[@purelyorange8428]

Honestly, your animation style is perfect for NSP; great work!

[@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.

[@pendingauthor2536]

[@madelineobrien4993]

i fucking LOVE how danny just started screaming at his dad like a teenager

Whenever Dan shushed the dog I lost it. This video is rivaling Mansion Party for my favorite animated music video of all time, love your work man!

[@JaggSwag230]

I'm glad you cleared up the decision on changing Dan's design from Mainsion Party. I loved that design, but now thinking about it, it would not work at all in this music video. Great work as always

[@Garulon_Remir]

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.

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.

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"? It's something I noticed a lot while watching the music video and it just made the entire thing look so pleasant.

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!

[@Kolorhead]

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

[@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.

I hope you get/got some well earned rest, and I look forward to the next animation piece.

The best thing about this video is the girl because it displays actual attraction rather than sexual tension. The more quirky the video gets, the more she enjoys and accepts Danny's immaturity. It's so desirable, and it put the whole music video in a wonderful light.
