RealM

This is only the pilot and they're trying to get the series greenlit.

Uhhh considering the amount of views and the hype it generated, I hope they reached their goal?
But in terms of production, well, no idea how long it will take. If they want to make a whole season with episodes on this quality level, then I can imagine you might have to wait 1~2 years minimum? But that's just my uninformed opinion, take it with a grain of salt. Might be more, might be less.

Be sure to set the audio track of the video to your preferred language!

So this animation randomly exploded and made it's way onto my frontpage.

I watched it just out of curiosity and have been kind of obsessed over it ever since, so I thought I'd share it with the fediverse.

To add a little bit of background on why this video went viral, it should be noted that this is produced by indie animation studio called "Glitch" and the creator called "Gooseworx" had a following from a previous animation. I can imagine the artstyle in this one is not everybodies cup of tea, but I am personally amazed by it and very intrigued!

Anon can't even win in his creative writing exercises. Wild world.

I appreciate your consideration but if you smoke regularly, chances are you don't truly realize how bad you smell and just how far the stench carries.

Also the argument of dying early is flawed. It's not just about dying early, it's about the quality of life you'll face at the end of your life. I don't mean to freak you out, but heavy smokers have a LOT of trouble doing anything physical in old age (climbing 10 stairs, standing up, walking a few steps, eating,...). I've seen firsthand how my grandpa that liked to take walks for hours a day went to basically disabled, in the timeframe of roughly ~15 years. All due to decreased lung capacity caused by smoking.

Personally, I block anything related to news&politics on the fediverse (same on reddit).

Humans have a structural problem with any system that allows voting on the visibility of headlines. It encourages outrage, populism, attention grabbing headlines while discouraging more refined factual discussions. Kinda like tabloid journalism.
Reddit has the same problem and way worse, but with enough time it will happen here too.

Most users read the headline before giving their own opinion, not many take their time to read a majority of other comments and the least amount of users actually read the linked article (which is to be honest also often the fault of the quality of an article, i.e. being too long, boring and partially ai-generated).

This results in the most lukewarm most agreeable opinions being top comments, while they're also oftentimes being uninformed.

This is just what I gathered from my own personal experience with social media, I don't have any good sources to back up my claims.

Oh man, I totally missed that link by just skimming over the post back when it was posted...
Thank you!

I'll try to make an effort to actually read things more carefully in the future >_>

Sounds like a lot of personal problems, wish you all the best with them!

Regarding the funding, do you think you can set up an alternative way of donating that accepts other payment options like PayPal? Personally I'm not using a credit card, which is the only payment option one can use on your buymeacoffee.

Let a man have a break without psychologically analyzing him lmao

Thanks for the context!
Yeah, I suppose I will just have to create a new account on lemmy then :)

Slightly off-topic, but I think ani.social is not properly getting federated with kbin.social.
I can't see any episode discussion posts posted by shinobu on anime@lemmy.ml .

Like a true businessman should, maximizing short-term profits!
