To any well meaning artists thinking that they've stuck it to the man by "adquiring" software from a company you hate for free. Don't forget that you're still contributing to their market share and will be working within their ecosystem, eventually giving them money one way or another.

Choose FOSS alternatives whenever possible people. (Ex: Krita, Blender, Gimp) Key here being free and open source.

Knowing the history of Alex's humble beginnings makes seeing what he makes today seem all the more incredible to watch.

Seriously, from seeing the crude drawings in the very start of MFN. Then later that rough, but still very impressive bunny girl demo in 2014. I couldn't imagine you would be later drawing ANIME FILM TIER frames mostly by yourself. That stuff takes an OFFENSIVE amount of time to draw. While it's easy to just look at the cat girl (not dismissing her, she's drawn to downright professional quality), the backgrounds are ridiculously detailed, well drawn and animated. They're not static either, there's significant After Effects work at play here, particles, warping, and all of it seamlessly blended with traditional 2D animation.

Finally seeing it voice acted by a professional Japanese actress just helps sell the idea all the more.

Though, one thing. I may not be a comedian or much of a writer, but I do have one suggestion. Please, please for the love of your deity of choice, !!!INCLUDE SUBTITLES!!!. Half the jokes fly by because of the funny voices or get lost in the mixing/accents/action.

Mini rant over. Godspeed, hope Idiotopia takes off, at least in the West. Much fortune to you and your team.

Thank you for an amazing overview!
You are not the first one to request the subtitles, but one of very few to speak out loud the problems unfortunately. I used to include subtitles everywhere on YouTube and then somehow forgot to do so in the last years wondering why my videos began to underperform ._.

It's not as solid as the first, but pretty good on its own right. It does close up the holes in the first one by having a mini prequel as the intro, althout it flows a bit awkwardly into the second part.

The second part is decent, some new agent types are introduced here and there. There are some cameos from the past episode. Its just as well animated as the first, and the designs are pretty sweet.Though althroughout, this feels like a scene in a larger video and is noticeably rushed out the door with missing scenes, sounds, repetitive music and lacking direction (As in, it doesn't seem to go anywhere). Though, the part I most enjoyed was the exploration of the facility and how the protagonist uses his limited abilities to navigate and fight.

As per the last one, the art style is fantastic.

Hmm, this is the classic Sweet Cold Revenge Rev1 by CoredXBitch, did something happen?

Egoless is a true odyssey of a song. Tremendous in its sheer fast paced length and difficult to even listen in its
entirety. Much less play the chart.

As mentioned, it is a bit repetitive at times and some of the mixing falls short in certain sections. Moreover, the pacing is quick all throughout with few and small breathers meaning that it's easy to get exhausted. Also, even though it has ten sections. Some of them are a bit tricky to tell apart, perhaps in the future if you were to try to make another Odyssey of a song, shifting the theming and instrumentation more across the sections. It would help to pace the song a bit better and make it feel like more a journey.

Regardless, it stands as a bit of an achievement that a song of this length can be listened to with pleasure. Even if mostly in short bursts. Not all of it is a 5/5, not by a long shot. But A for the melodic variety, solid instrumentation and for the sheer effort.

Great job.

Proud to have participated alongside so many talented people, great work everyone!

Cross the veil of reality and walk into strange beautiful worlds where chaos shall coalesce back into order
