Feb 26th:A new bill in Arizona is making its way through the Senate that would force sites like e621 to implement mandatory age verification for all users—or face potential lawsuits. This system would require third-party vendors to verify every user’s age through a government database. Not only is this a massive violation of privacy, but it also introduces serious risks, including identity theft through phishing schemes and other malicious methods. Worse still, we would have no control over ensuring that user data is permanently deleted after verification.
Since e621 operates out of Arizona, this law would almost certainly impact us if it passes. If you want to help ensure that we can continue serving you without being forced to collect personal information, we urge you to contact Arizona’s senators and ask them to vote NO on this bill.
Please help spread the word about this issue and encourage others to take action.

MemberLove it, i like how smooth the animation is and for some reason how well the song goes with it too. Now i want to see it in color.

MemberIdk why I cried but I did. Excellent animation and song!
StormNardoragon
MemberVery good!
A slight critique. It would be nice if the Nardobean didn't behave like a statue in some part, maybe a slight ear or tail twitch occasionally. something like that would make them look more like a real living creature. Even better, if you time the ocasional "random" twitch to perhaps where the music changes, it might fit in perfectly.
Overall, though, this is VERY good and I really like it. The movement in the ears and stuff, the posing, the expressions, and everything, is amazing, and I really like it. Truly enjoyable!
This floof approves.

Memberthe only part i didnt like was, as the comment by StormNardoragon said, when he's just standing there like a statue. also the part where he's going up and down really quickly in four different sections of the screen, the ear physics is kinda weird. just make it way less repetetive and i would've upvoted. :> good luck wit ur next anim

Memberoh, btw I should mention, the song is Lagtrain, and there's several different English translations of it.
ProTip: Don't use Google Translate. Seriously, it's bad. Some good alternatives are DeepL, iTranslate, and Apple Translate. (Very good), (Haven't used, but I hear it's good), (decent but takes things literally sometimes and can be slow sometimes.)

MemberThat, and the too low bitrate that's causing artifacts around the lineart.
Suggestions: Use 2 pass encoding where possible, set your encoder profile to high, Use a higher bitrate and quality preset when encoding, use AV1 and/or HEVC for MP4 or MKV and use VP9 for WebM (idk if WebM supports AV1), at least 30FPS please (25 or higher) the style you're using would do fine at that framerate (for reference this video is at 15-30fps, take that gamers), use the Greyscale/B&W mode as this video has very little in terms of color (as in almost none)

MemberI believe it's traced from videos/Stills from Vrchat/blender. I Want to be clear that this doesn't discredit the effort whatsoever. This still takes a ton of effort and in itself some artistic license. The only reason I think that is the movement is identical to the rigging you would get from the model itself.
If you the artist see this, Well done.

Memberweeeell- the animation IS based off of the official music video so- its not really "for some reason", the chorography was quite literally made for it. also the original music video wasn't in color either. look up lagtrain.
EnduroFurry
MemberOh, I know the original, I thought you were commenting on the images themself, the facial expressions, and ear movements. my bad!

MemberKOREGA REQUIEM DA!
