I really do not understand the desire to shove HD material "losslessly" into gifs. It's compressed to 256 colors and taken from highly compressed youtube video so it can't be lossless.
Because of the insane filesize I can just watch the whole thing with audio on post #807056 or at youtube while this one is still loading.

Site does allow this so this is basically just my subjective opinion on this and I aren't condemning uploader of this, but as gifs simply can't ever be lossless and they get huge with constantly moving irl/cgi material like this, why not just make it small so it can be easily shared and viewed, then link source to original stuff.

Because I can get the exact same viewing experience from this than I would with version which has half the frame rate, width of 500px, less colors and which wasn't reversed at the end. As I would just look for source when it interests me and watch that one instead. And if I were to save it, of course I would save the highest quality version, which most certainly (hopefully) is never gif.

yeah I don't understand why they want to also but clearly someone finds use from it (i think mobile works better with it)

You have a fair point. As worthless of a post like this may be, I figured it could have been this way begin with, and thought to myself,
"People post so-called "variations" all the time, so why shouldn't I? After all, there's no harm in making another version."
I spent very little time messing with file size, so the slow loading is my fault. In reality, when I found I could use an adaptive option to get more clarity from the GIF, I figured I should upload this version for fun. I didn't bother optimizing this upload at all.

I called it "lossless" because it was the first word that came to mind that expresses a higher quality result. I'll change that since you pointed it out.

I look for criticism if I post anything, (which I almost never do anywhere on the internet) so your thoughts are appreciated. Glad to see not everyone ignores the notion to question content on a website like this.

Only in Japan...

Reading such polite answer to my somewhat negative complaining is really sweet C:
Just keep in mind that my message wasn't directed directly towards you as there are tons of similar stuff here already: type:gif filesize:40MB..

TBH this is just really funny, not so much arousing.

Great animation
