AFTER WORKING ON THIS THING ON AND OFF FOR LIKE 4 DAYS, IT'S FINALLY DONE!!!

Anyways!!!

With how much 2000s internet/web nostalgia Smiling friends references in their episodes, I thought it might be fun to pay a homage to the 2009-era of anime opening parodies! I remember the Higurashi, Naruto, and Death Note openings were especially pretty popular for other media parodies! As a 14 year old in 2009, I remember always thinking it would be a lot of fun to make one, but I didn't have the drawing ability or know-how to make one back then.

Since Smiling Friends is still just starting off the third season (at the time of posting this) I figured why not give it a try now? So I did! It was fun and nostalgic! (Plus it gave me an excuse to practice a little animating again lol) My teenager self would be so proud of me for finally getting around to making my own silly "cartoon-as-anime" parody LMAO. Ok that's all I got :] (Newgrounds link!)

I did not know this was what Apollo's voice training sounded like but thank you to this (Japanese) decade-old audio of him and Klavier talking about Gyakuten Orchestra stuff for introducing me. I don't know what I expected haha

anyway i spent like 2 weeks figuring out how to somewhat animate it and that was a journey and a half but I learned a lot!!

if I ever actually crack open a resource to learn how animating actually works it’s so over for you all

simple animation loop, but I was feeling particularly inspired
