Please tell me is a joke...

Why is Garnet's VA the worst fucking actor I have ever heard in my life?

Jesus fucking Christ.

This is hurt you, piece of shit?
The reality is SU is better because for the fanart, always better that the cartoon self...

notice how the best animators only had like a single shot, while some of the shittier ones were much longer

because the best animations take more effort for the same amount of time as lesser ones, and there was likely a time limit

that's the point, yes

that's why shittier artstyles get picked for cartoons because they're easier to animate

it's shit

Jesus

...

This works better when it's something that they're not copying and is mostly about the audio, like all of them working to make a music video for a song.

When watching an episode like this you're forced to compare the animation to the show, and the show's art is good enough but not the most amazing, so you're jumping between styles that are either better than it or worse, and it's too jarring. You can't appreciate the simpler styles because they don't feel good enough, and you can't appreciate the better ones because they just conflict with the simpler and the original styles.

That ridiculous jontron animator mashup? That was ok. Episodes from shows redone? Nah. Unless it's a show with such poor animation or such a simple art style that all the animators replacing it are an improvement.

>Blocked in my country
You wot

of course it just has to be the gay backstory episode

Jesus i knew the show has inconsistent storyboards but this is a new level.

No but seriosuly some of these jarring transitions make this hilarious.

>around the world
I bet it was like 3 countries.

Same here

Garnet and Ruby's VAs are awful and The Answer was a terrible episode that did not build up to the hype that was surrounding Ruby and Sapphire's backstory, went against Garnet's "love at first sight doesn't exist" message, and had cringey hamfisted homophobia metaphors

Really? People liked it when it aired.

>went against Garnet's "love at first sight doesn't exist" message
No it didn't, the episode didn't say anything about how long those rubies had been assigned as Sapphire's bodyguards. It could have been thousands of years they'd known each other before the events shown.

my fucking sides

I wouldnt expected any less from SU fans

only tumblrfags who overlook awful writing as long ad lesbians are involved

Sup Forums thought it was decent. Not the best of episodes but a nice one. Guess weve become much more jaded since then.

unfortunately Sup Forums traffic blew up during the 2016 elections and every board has seen leakage.

This shit's old news,

>Sup Forums thought it was decent.
Sup Forums also is home to the same users as on tumblr that watch SU, not even scapegoating

those kids and teenagers want sites to discuss their cartoon on, why pass up an anonymous one? besides, here they can shill their tumblr art blog to the masses, it's where most drawfags come from. not that that's inherently bad but it's just a case here

>"But what you don't know was how ruby and sapphire first met"
>Proceeds to talk about the early part of the war

It's somewhat implied that the earth diplomacy mission was what brought them together. I don't think that took thousands of years.

>shill

I'm getting really tired of hearing this word thrown at anyone who has the ability to enjoy things.

good point. but it also doesn't say how long ruby and sapphire were stranded alone together between the first and second fusion instances. The montage of random things they were doing suggests it was a while though, plenty of time for them to fall in love organically, not 'at first sight'

>thrown at anyone who has the ability to enjoy things.
I'm just using it as a catch all to promote their art off-site, this is a genuine thing that happens and I'm not sure if it could be more clear. Every time an artist does a delivery it's "do you have a tumblr?" That isn't a bad thing it's just evidence that everyone has expected artists to have a tumblr, even here, because they usually do.

Because the fans are copying pre-existing material and splitting a fraction of the actual production between 164 different people with a generous production time and without a studio placing demands on them. It's glorified trace work and even then it's full of poor animation.

It really should be noted that Garnet was objecting to Jamie's characterization of his infatuation. Garnet symbolizes an entire relationship, The Answer is basically showing Ruby and Sapphire's first date.

...

>splitting a fraction of the actual production between 164 different people

You say that like it makes it easier, getting 164 people to do something in coordination and unison and seeing it through to the end.

I don't think you could get even 20 of Steven Universe's critics on Sup Forums to work together in this kind of fashion.

They had to pick one of the most boring episodes which featured Estelle narrating, Garnet worked a lot better when she was stoic the voice was fine but then they went and changed things and made her emote more but it's clear she can't act.

You simply assign each animator a specific timeframe within the episode. We're only talking about four seconds of animation per animator.

The Sailor Moon one was better (because it's Sailor Moon).

>all those animators and they dont make the first proper SU porn parody
I fucking hate how all the talent in tumblr is fucking wasted

Post it

what the fuck man

I'm honestly convinced some of these clips were intentionally bad to get a kek out of people. Or just to be ironic.

But then again with this fandom and with 'amvs animators' you never know.

Wanted this clip and thought I might have to make the gif myself. Thanks for saving me the trouble, fampai. You da real MVP.

2:04-2:09
>Sapphire. Tell me what will happen here.
I fucking lost it.

Obviously some of them were intentional like the Ruby and sapphire gif but I think the 3D model of Garnet was made genuinely which is both sad and hilarious

I honestly wish Chris and Zach had participated in this. Think of the glorious shitstorm that they could have created.

Rewatching this I just realize that there were really not as many stakes as Garnet makes it sound like there are in the story.
>"Blue Diamond. The rebels will show up here, poof several gems, including my bodyguards and myself, and then get captured."
>"I look forward to reporting back to you when I reform on Homeworld."
>"SHE ACCEPTED HER FATE, STEVEN! SHE ACCEPTED GETTING A VERY TEMPORARY INJURY THAT WOULD NOT END HER LIFE! SHE SAW HOW HER WHOLE LIFE WAS GONNA PLAY OUT, STEVEN!"

Rubies have been very clearly established as not being very bright. Ruby's decision to prevent Sapphire's poofing was stupid as hell, but I think it was when things escalated after that and Ruby was sentenced to breaking that things became important.

I have a powerful suspicion that the original intention in this episode was that Sapphire was going to die, but then it was toned down and the "when I reform" line shoehorned in.

Executive meddling, in other words

That doesn't make any sense because two seconds after Ruby is the one that's going to die. And don't say it's more serious because Sapphire accepted her fate and that was suicidal, because Ruby also says that she would totally be okay with being shattered.

It makes perfect sense and fits with the theme of the episode.

Sapphire is okay with dying. Ruby is okay with dying. Neither is okay with the OTHER dying. Because they care about each other.

most WTF moment

No I mean choosing to cut one of them almost dying and not the other one doesn't make sense.

>That mouth
Am I the only who's reminded of Alien?

>Greg regrets making Rose watch The Thing

I think from Garnet's hindsight perspective as a free person some thousands of years later, Sapphire was ultimately accepting more than just the poofing.She'd accepted her lifetime of service to her state at the price of any free will or personal interest (or if you prefer to look at it the other way, she accepted just being a gem and doing her damn job). She says to Ruby "I wish I could see more of this planet but that's not happening." Garnet's happy after the fact that it didn't turn out that way because she's apparently much happier on Earth doing whatever the fuck she wants.

>Ruby this isn't weed, what the fuck

tbch its not too bad even if there are some fucking weird ones, as pointed out ITT

I hate tumblr humor

This is shit. The game grumps collab was better

I liked this project.

Why can't Sup Forums make anything half-decent like this?

Sup Forums still thinks MLP is decent
get out

>Why are the fans of this show so much more skilled and talented than the critics?
What kind of question is this and what kind of answer were you expecting? These fans who are "so much more skilled and talented than the critics" had no deadline and had no rules to adhere to, meanwhile if these guys were at an animation studio the people back at CN probably would have called for like a billion retakes because there's a ton of issues.

You know that more often than not most American shows animated overseas have one or two animators for 11 or 22 minutes right? Keep in mind most overseas animators are glorified inbetweeners and a large portion of work is already done before it gets to Korea but still, they have to be on model and follow the timing/x-sheets charts like perfectly or they get in trouble.

Also, why is it up to the critics to make something that justifies their opinion as being valid for you? It's a nice video and all but whatever point you were trying to make is like null and void as of now.

it is still decent. Not as good as SU at the moment though, but if you didn't like "Perfect Pear" you have no soul

my point was only that fans of the show are more creative, talented, skilled, driven, and likely better adjusted as people based on the above, than critics of the show.

Evidence is that this video was made by fans, and although critics could also make creative skillful animations mocking it, they don't.

Really makes you think

Sup Forums is full of people who are more talk than action. That's why they criticize everything and produce nothing. Except that cripple dating game from Sup Forums.

It's almost the same quality as the actual show!

At least this one made me laugh, I'll give them that.

>Tumblr have bee re-animating various shows the past year.
>Joke

The only joke here is how Sup Forums still hasn't done any major collaborate projects.

>critics could also make creative skillful animations mocking it
that'd just get them called autistic for putting into effort shitting on something

what the fuck are you doing

that's a very retarded screencap, i mean fucking shit if that's what you found funny in the segment choices

>Split second a Ditto in the fusion process.
Ok that got me.

I liked it

It's just an image from a re-animated Sailor moon. The point went completely over your head.

Nope I got it, I find fandom references are obnoxious and the fact you capped that as an example shows what you like

She's just a singer.

>fandom references are obnoxious
>Sup Forums

I can see why this was only a single frame

How would it be hard to make an animation collab on Sup Forums. Just do the thing where someone puts up a checkerboarded game box or something saying "Alright lets redraw this", except it takes a couple weeks. You all could post fucking webms for fucks sake.

...

Because Sup Forums is the least creative board on the site

Fucking Sup Forums pumps out more content than Sup Forums

I liked how the gemstones looked here

>A board is a hivemind

>All these people complaining about an anonymous discussion board not being a production studio


SUfags are actually retarded. And if it's not their shit taste that proves it it's this thread?

you don't have to be a production studio to make content, you just have to be talented, creative, driven, and passionate. All things SU fans apparently have more of than you do.

>not hooktubing it
hooktube.com/watch?v=aDuLP-ImfgM

Why is Garnet's VA the worst fucking singer I have ever heard in my life?
Even her songs sound just as monotone as Garnets voice

Most of the songs she gets are out of her range, since Sucrose writes all the songs at her own range.

Wonder how long a gem date lasts? If they live for thousands of years, would a gem pump and dump be more like a half year steady relationship for us? Or just fusion quickies that may end up giving you space dog AIDS?

>you don't have to be a production studio to make content
>Taking that literally
It's okay to be autistic. But if you actually think everyone who recognizes a show is shit must be an artist, you might have the IQ of a chimp with Brain damage. The point is that organizing a bunch of anonymous users, most of whom aren't artist, just fans of the medium, to create a large project, for ultimately no reason is a waste of time. Because this isn't a collaborative art creation board, it's a discussion board.

>All things SU fans apparently have more of than you do
Apparently not if the best thing 156 of them could put together was mostly garbage.

its not a fandom reference its an episode of sailor moon collaboratively reanimated and this animator used bobs burger art style how the hell is that a reference

Still too much.

SU fans are people. Also not all SU fans have that ability to be creative. Sup Forums users? sure the site doesn't get anything done, but that's a non-issue unless you're specifically finding things to praise SU for over, lets be fair, the "equivalent of a hater".

There are Sup Forums users with creativity, maybe if the damn board didn't bash it with autism we'd be beyond channel tan crap

>this animator used bobs burger art style how the hell is that a reference
you're so stupid you must be an su fan

Fusion ditto is amazing ditto.

I wonder if host body Rose Quartz hates it when her various heads interrupt and steal all the credit for the ideas she's about to say.

t. Sup Forums's cream of the crop

Doesn't this just show the fans are more talented then the show staff?

>this video contains content from turner broadcasting hong Kong who have blocked it in your country

The show's staff IS a bunch of fans picked from Tumblr.

Yeah, it's because she's not really an actor, she's a singer Sugar wanted because she's a fan. I think she's good most of the time, she only really falls apart when she has to do angry, emotional Garnet (which is a pretty big flaw, true)

Don't think I don't see you samefagging there "Sugar doesn't take advantage of Estelle's vocal range"autist

>Why are the fans of this show so much more skilled and talented than the critics?
But they're not. This was shit. Half of that shit made me want to kill myself and everyone around me, the other half just made me violently ill.

the ep's music and stuff
