I'm not saying that he should make a whole bunch of mistakes, but if he wants to use music, I think we should let him experiment with what HE feels best for HIS channel, and what he's more comfortable with. I understand the point you're trying to make, but you never know. I like how Gawain is trying something other than what usual animating is, and he might just have a really good shot at this. I believe he can do this. Obviously, he can do it. Meaning, he is capable of doing it. I'm just thinking about how to attract an audience, which is generally what you're supposed to think about when you're creating a show. If the data shows that it's not popular, don't come complaining to me, because I will literally say, "I told you so". I'm not in any way saying that everything has to be perfect (despite what you think about me), but we are not animating this show so that it looks like it was recorded from the game. There's no point in animating it then. That's not what the art of animation is about. I don't think he's trying speech bubbles to be artistic, I think it's mostly because he doesn't want to try voice acting. Which I can understand and respect. But it's not exactly the best choice to go with when the animation looks exactly like the game. If the animation had an original look to it, with some visual depth and a little more complex movements, then I wouldn't be questioning this decision as much.

And don't you give me the "music instead of VA" talk. Way back when animation was first being used to make animated shorts in the, what, 1930s? They barely HAD voice acting. Storytelling using music. It's an art. HOWEVER, the music chosen for KKFOREVER doesn't seem to have that intent; it's just music that happens to be in the show. There's a difference between using music to tell a story and making a show that sounds like it has something missing because there's just what sounds like background music playing.

And in case you haven't noticed, I'm a beginner in animation, too. Okay? But at least I try to aim for something higher than what I am.
