Animator vs. Animation V (official) 

I love how much this series embodies the idea of creativity. Back when Alan created the Chosen One, he did so consciously and with clear purpose: a good animated fight. His origins can't be traced back to any intrinsic value found in the medium of animation, but to violence and combat. He was born in destruction, and thus became a *god* of destruction. But, at the very least, you can make the argument that The Chosen One exists for more than just fighting, as he eventually loses interest in and actively starts advocating against internet-wide conquest. Despite that hesitance, however, we don't see any instances of things *he* created in the 9 year timespan between AvA III and V. He doesn't create, nor does he take pleasure in destruction. He simply *is.* So, what happens when you create something whose only purpose is to destroy a destroyer? You get The Dark Lord. The Dark Lord *never* lost his original will. He *never* grew bored of the slaughter. If anything, he *optimized* it, polished it to a mirror sheen in the form of the ViraBots, and hoped to stomp the rest of the web into dust beneath his feet. He *did* contribute something in that 9 year span, yes... but only something he could use to further spread misery and decay. And then there's The Second Coming. Created by complete accident by Alan when he was just trying to animate an orange stick figure. The only one of the three who can directly draw his roots to a creative purpose. Not only that, but he's also the first stick figure who we see creating living animations. (The Victim made copies of himself, and TCO, alongside TDL, never used the draw tools or anything in the animation software for anything but weapons.) There is a very creative soul in TSC, with an imagination beyond anything any of the other stick figures are capable of, even if the full extent of that imagination is lost to him save when he is in dire need of it. So in the end, it's not The Chosen One who defeats the Empowered Dark Lord, or Red, Blue, Yellow and Green, who started existence absentmindedly fighting each other before TSC showed them what was beyond the webpage. It's The Second Coming. Born in creativity, with a love for the art of animation. The only thing that can defeat the purest of destroyers is the purest of creators. (Or I could just be overthinking all of this and Alan just wanted to draw cool stick figures fighting in very creative ways. :P)

Alan Becker and his team could probably make a movie if they had more money. Absolute masterpiece, 10/10.

This series is a great example of 'show don't tell'. There's no dialogue, spoken or typed, unless it's absolutely necessary, yet you can still follow the story easily.

I really love how this episode included the idea of allowing even the Animator to help in combat by being the Mouse and utilizing the skills it has.

Im honestly so excited for season 2 of this, based off the teaser I already know its gonna be as good as this one

I remember seeing Animator vs. Animation in the earliest days of BRvid many, many years ago. In fact it was one of the first BRvid videos I ever saw. And just now I'm discovering that such an amazing world of animation spanning two decades was born from those humble beginnings. This is some really incredible animation and story telling, and I hope the story and universe continues long into the future.

Alan: Draws a stick figure for fun Stick figure 13 years later:

This looks like something out of an anime. I don't have words to describe it. And seeing the mouse from the computer screen as well as the actual fight is incredible.

Animation studios should be fighting to hire this man

even without dialogue or voices, the pure talent and imagination of this is immaculate and exquisite, I dont think ive ever seen someone animate like this, you are so amazing and you definitely deserve way more attention with your masterpieces!

TSC isn't just a great animator (and an artist) but also a great AI programmer. Those animating stickmen didn't hesitate to be deleted and were most obedient. If Alan had a small fraction of this power, The Chosen One wouldn't have destroyed his PC.

honestly this deserves so much more attention and likes. the effort and time put into this is insane and this guy has a great talent

Its crazy how Alan Becker took a simple concept like stickmen and turned it into something incredible

26:03 this is the best scene by far! All of them wanting to help each other and the chosen one. I like how TDL did not kill them immediately but fought with them, just to show them they are nothing compared to him, that this will be their last realization they made in their lives. I like the way alan made TSC. That his powers unlock only when he sees his loved one die. This happened in AVA IV too, when alan deleted his friends, he was glitching into the chosen one. Edit: i forgot to tell the fact that we thought he was just natural at this point, until this episode. That he cannot even control his own powers because they are just too op for him to own. How he immediately fell down and fainted when he stopped using his powers

Just realized why The Second Coming and The Chosen One weren't deleted by The Dark Lord's blades. It is because Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow are actually from a website, not drawn by Alan. But stick figures drawn by Alan are immune to being deleted, probably because the blades deleted internet-related masses. Also, any stick figures drawn by Alan have powers, maybe signifying the power of animation.

props to this guy, one of the most creative animators out there

That took me on a wild emotional roller coaster. Better story writing than most of Hollywood and with no dialogue. Simply amazing, well done.

Amazing job Alan! Your animating has improved so much over the years!

I like how the "silence speaks a thousand words" philosophy is the biggest plot of the movie. Makes the depth of it stand out like a grand old tree in the meadow. Stunning

Everything about this animation is perfect. Even included a sideways point of view just to add on top of it, greatest animation I've ever seen

hey dude! another year of making great content, i've been following the series ever since i was a little guy, and it's even better than the video before i love your content, and i genuinely hope it never ends, it's always nice to go back to the old videos :D

I love how the chosen one remembers all the torture hes gone threw but still loves alan for creating him.

After so many years........ Also, DAMN!!!!! Your animations have gotten epic man. The perspective eye laser, and that slam into the water where you see the void open and close back up. Serious attention to detail. Mad, mad props from a viewer of the very first stickman in the long ago. Hope you're doing well, man. [internet fist bumps] Now, lets go yell at kids to go get off our lawns while complaining about our hips ;p

Damn, forgot about these animations. Amazing that you hit it big since the first part.

I swear, only Alan can make a mouse cursor have such a diverse skillset. Alan Becker's cursor for Smash Bros

Who knew that a couple of stickmen could have such amazing fight scenes?!

Absolutely incredible. 17:44 is such an amazing shot.

The definition of art.

Alan can get the most simple thing and turn into something amazing, impressing, and fantastic.

I LOVE IT SO MUCH. All of the action was amazing and I could watch this movie all day and all night do more of this stuff please

A masterpiece created like this should have over a billion views. Respect.

How is it possible to animate this well?! It’s so good! 11/10

The fight scenes,story lines,animation,and everything about this is the most amazing thing I’ve seen this year

I can already guess how proud of them you would be for helping get rid of the virus if this was real

Considering the newest video Alan has released it seems that TSC probably still has that power but it takes so much for it to actually activate that they can’t do it at will Can’t wait for the all the epic showdowns in the future season :3

Although this got a WHOLE lotta attention , this is almost MOVIE level. INCREDIBLE

The storytelling even without a single word spoken is just beyond incredible. And the part where Red, Green, Yellow, and Blue were being picked off and the body language just shows how heartbroken they are, it hits so hard. Truly a masterpiece of animation.

I LOVE the part where Alan right clicked over TDL, just gave me the chills seeing cool parts that are the best.

Alan could've played a massive part in beating TDL, if he just held him and maniacally just swerved around the cursor into trees, the ground, whatever. He could've carried the battle.

Even if I only skip to rewatch TSC's wham-jam against TDL, I still get teary-eyed when he reunites with his bros. This animation is truly a gift

i remember when i was younger and i watched this, i still watch it every day for nostalgia.

This is a great step-up from Ava 4, great job Alan!

Her: He's probably thinking about other women. Him: How can they have laser eyes if they don't have eyes?

We don't talk about how all of this started over a stick figure. Masterpiece.

I can’t trust amazing animations like this or I’ll go hyperactive!

His work is on a different level it’s insane

I rlly admire Alan for making this. It’s very detailed, it’s all that! Tbh this is the best thing I have seen in my life :)

I love how mundane it is from Alan's perspective.

I wish when Orange gained his new power we saw a callback to his message: "you ended my friends. Now I end you."

These fights have better choreography than most anime fights

Even though I watched this many times this is still a banger

the bits where they help eachother, makes me think of what AI will be like in a few years

I never expected this adventure, which started years ago, to reach this point, both the animation and the story, it has reached a very different level, and I think it is very nice that it reminds me of the matrix movie.

This is one of the best animations I watched keep it up!

So, if the stick figure has a hollow head, then they're basically a god, neat.

Saw this after a year. The fights never get old! 🔥

From 1 singular Stickman to a 30 episode series. How far have we gone.

Is it just me who thinks this should be a full movie

100 million views in 2 years! too amazing!

Best moments : 11:00 cries in despair of his PC getting destroyed 11:29 Wikipedia destroyed 11:34 Angry Figures VS Birds 11:39 Stickpage 11:48 whatever the tf this is called 11:58 HQ 12:04 sum coding 12:49 Terror over TCO's mind 13:01 Launching 13:14 Polish Corridor

Stick figures are for amateurs and beginners. *Alan:* Hold my mouse.

I like how Alan can just have tabs as 3d and just hit the stick figures

Parabéns pela animação, que foda! Me senti como se estivesse no cinema. Sensacional!

Man i almost was moved at some point, it's amazing to see the evolution of this series, great work!

How does he animate these so good

Omfg I didn't know this animation existed!!! I had goosebumps during the fight scenes, this was AMAZING. The animation, the music, the sound effects, everything! Wow, I still remember the first Animator vs Animation back in the days, I couldn't imagine how that would have turned out.

The way that he named the stick figures "The chosen one" "The dark lord" and "The second coming" is like amazing like.. it was scripted since 2010..

0:01 AvA ep1 5:59 AvA ep 2 10:05 AvA ep 3 16:36 AvA ep 4(final(i think) 27:45 oranges anti virus revenge

You have skills, my guy. This was immaculate. You're gifted

This is literally better than most movies in my opinion

Every time I come back to Alan’s videos it’s like I lost complete memory of it and I’m always like “THAT HAPPENED??” but I love the surprise

my man, you never let me down. Great job.

Everyone: Talking about how great the animation is Me: Man, this guy has some impressive mouse aim-

This animation is great, and long too. It must've taken a long time to make.

Nostalgia hits harder then anything❤

Alan and his team you all are pure legends. The way you formulated the story, step by step, makes it a masterpiece. Giving orange some mystical powers is like amazing. I curiously wait for the next season. 👍👍👍

Great work, Alan!

9:25 love how they just start bowing down to him like he's god or something

Can we just appreciate how this man tells a good ass story without any dialoge?

Ur animations never disapoint us keep the good work!

I really wish some of the JP animation companies saw this and recreated this into anime but keep the sound effects and the music.

Honestly after seeing this, I want Alan Becker to make a movie for Netflix or something. Honestly surprised a channel named after their real name is popping off (no offense)

This series is glorious masterpiece

It’s very subtle but at 10:26 you can see the monitor slightly shake as each explosion happens. Such a cool tiny detail.

Alan Becker: The animator we didn’t deserve but the animator we needed

That's the best history for ever. Congratulations for all the animators and Alan for this ❤❤

This has to be the best stick figure animation ever. It looked like stick figure anime.

Marvel should hire this man his storylines are like godly😮

I love how he somehow just made Stickmen one of the most epic things ever

This man should have a movie.

Imagine if Alan got the budget for a movie… that’d be insane.

Wow Alan, you never cease to amaze me

Wow, this is the coolest video of all time in my opinion, of all the famous animations/films I've ever watched, this is the best. keep spirit bro

This is a true masterpiece the story is Just perfect!

I am a huge supporter Alan I have been watching your channel since you had 2 million subs. You have over 10x the subs now and 10x the video quality! Pixar made the biggest mistake, not letting you in. I bet they regret their decision every time they animate! You are one of the best animators, Alan, and many other animators look up to you!

Isso e melhor que muito filme.

Huge props to the Cameraman for surviving that. He's a real champ.

I’m jealous that I can’t animate noodles with doughnuts for heads as good as you

I've watched Alans animations and I just cant get enough, I may be over exaggerating but I think of Alan as a god of animation.

I come back 2 years later not realising it, and its still gold
