Way too tired to be angry rn, i lost weeks of progress on an animation off all the damn file that i happened to open when the tablet crashed it has to be that one
In my career, I've spent over $100,000 commissioning artists and animators. I held a fundraiser for animators in Japan. I've given graphic tablets to artists in need. I promote young animators that I think are talented without asking for anything in return.
I created an original series (Demon Rush), with 15 manga chapters and 2 animated promo episodes- all original art and animation. Spent 4 years on it, but was not recognized for doing it the true hard way.
In my latest video, I hired 3 animators and paid them well for their cuts. People on X are upset that I used AI to speed up the process in the fan animation, even though in the 4 update videos leading up to it, I was completely open about how I was using it. The same people who complained about Saitama vs Cosmic Garou having too many impact frames for their liking. I don't care about these people. They complain about literally everything.
I make these for fun, not to impress anyone. Even if I spent 10 years making the best episode possible, 100% hand done, these guys would still complain. I did that before with Demon Rush.
In any case, this was my last animated video. I am retiring from anime and moving onto other things, so you won't have to worry about me.
