The script gets a little too fanfiction-y for my taste, as I expected, but it's amusing enough and the concept and style are pretty damn good for a fan production with no budget. I even like the fact that they kept it black-and-white, which suits the paranormal theme. With some better writing and more polish, I could imagine this being a really cool show. Maybe it's because the crossover actually make sense in this case rather than simply being "here are two shows I like that have little to nothing in common."

Really don't like the writing, characterizations, or the voices. Other than that, pretty good.
Seems like a clusterfuck.
>>78478763
It's ok?
>>78478763
I like all the things included, but I'm afraid at the amounts of cringe I'll feel when I open it up
Why do you need Raz AND Lily?
>>78479360
Same reason both Coraline and Wybie are there. Everyone else came in pairs and Lili is the most logical partner for Raz. Plus she's probably the cutest of the bunch.
>>78478763
>45 minutes
Is it worth it?
>>78479513
You don't really need Wybie either. Or Norman's fat friend.
>>78479624
No it's horrible
>>78478763
Cringe horrible
The worst possible thing you can do when working on a fan project, is be too much of a fan. Fans get so into their own headspace and interpretations of the characters that they become unable to write them how they actually are, opposed to how you think or want them to be.
That being said, the characterizations are mostly off. It was a cute idea but much too ambitious for them. It all comes off as amateurish and immature. They were right in scrapping the project and focusing on their schoolwork. They've all worked on much better personal projects since this came out. I give them props though for putting the whole thing together, with voices and everything.
>>78479794
Yeah, the writing is by far the weakest aspect. You could tell they were animation students, not writers. It would've been much better if they had found people who could nail the script and characterizations while they handled the drawing.

>dipper trips over a button
>awful dialogue/scripting (brains low in cholesterol)
>that awful soundtrack/sound mixing
fuck
I'm glad that things like this happen, good on those kids for putting this together, but man I am not excited for the rest of this
>>78479652
I don't even really think they need mabel, She never was that interested in the supernatural
>>78478763
Where's Ness and Danny Fenton?
>>78480141

Any links to where did this project come from?
>>78480188
From what I remember it was started by a small group on tumblr
>>78480188

>3shownang5me opening theme
>obligatory tumblr noses in some characters
Other than that, noice production values.
>>78480141
>Where's Danny Fenton?
What >>78480182 said. He's with the Secret Trio (of Randy Cunningham and Jake Long) if I'm not mistaken.
Please God no.
>>78480495
or that one group that was those 3, juniper lee, XJ9, Ben10, and GenRex
I don't know if that's right, I'm just trying to remember what I saw

Forgive me, anon, I relied on the embedding abilities of this Vietnamese shadow puppetry board too much that I took the thought of using other sites for this purpose for granted.
This was two years ago. Did any of the kids who made it do anything since?
Alex Hirsch, Neil Gaiman, and Tim Schafer are sitting in a room together. What do they come up with?
>>78481544
They make a brutal legend movie in Laika style.
>>78481671

The intro song apparently has a music video that must be a portal right to the year 2007 .

What's with animated bands becoming a thing? Are they imitating Gorillaz?
