Who else came back here after hearing he quit? I know I did, now this song makes much more sense. He was hurting, he was questioning if this was something he wanted to do, and he questioned who his real friends were. And in the end, he gave up. I'm not gonna tell him "good luck" or "I support you in your future endeavors", because that's not what he wants to hear. Instead, I'll say that we never saw you as a mask, we saw you as *you.* A great and talented person capable of amazing things. But we also should've known that you were hurting, and helped the person you saw yourself as, not the person *we* saw. So I simply say goodbye, and I hope one day you show the world who you are not as AnimatedJames, but as *you.* *Farewell.*
Ender -chan loves scooter He just lost the spark. This all went in a direction he didn't want to go. Now he feels like there was never any happiness with this channel, like he never had any true friends during his time on this channel. So he abandoned it, moving on to something else (He's still doing Animations, just don't expect a video from him here or anywhere else). Hopefully what he does next gives him that feeling of love and happiness that he felt didn't exist with this channel.
@@holapotatoes298 I'm kindve confused but did you know that the creators name is James too. Are you saying this because you didnt know this or you get confused sometimes
This song is very important to me. I come back twice or so a year, just whenever it pops in my mind. weather I remember the meaning off the top of my head or not though it never fails to come to me when I need it most. Many things have happened to me and many things will continue to however no matter how much i change and grow this song has and most likely always will follow me. I wish the best for the creator. He's had a huge impact on my art and who I am as a person through specifically this song. Thank you wherever you are James, I mean that from the bottom of my heart.
I can relate to this so much 😭 I remember listening to this so much in my childhood I occasionally come yo this song too one or twice every year. Thinking about how much time had passed I basically grew with this song.
God him smiling right before the truck reaches him is just hard hitting. The hope of ending the pain can make people happy, that's why some people seem very happy before they end it. That's just great its realistic and hits you hard
AND once upon a time, I was the idiot who dove through, crashing into the poor girl and carrying her just out of harm's way before we were both killed... broke my ankle... It's a slog through a whole lot of painful memories I kind of need to repeat once in a while. It sucks to have to drag all that back up... BUT sometimes it's beneficent to remind myself why I'm worth living another day... what I "bring to the table" as it were... so substance to my point or purpose... right? As much as I might despise remembering jamming a pinky into a revolver's action, earning about four stitches, to stop someone blowing a large hole through her head... or damn nearly breaking or even losing my leg in a long-shot dive in front of a truck... whatever... It's nice to look back and say, "I tried. At the god damn least, I tried. I did my damnedest." I'm no saint... Gods know I've f***ed up more than most, but... well... as I said... I tried. I thank James for reminding me of that from time to time... It often keeps me just looking down the barrel and contemplating... rather than putting the muzzle in my mouth and "unloading it the old fashioned way". ;o)
Suicide sucks because halfway through you're going to instantly regret it and even if you do survive you're going to have live through the aftermath, painfully and sometimes immobilize with love ones begging you not to end your life. And you can't do anything but just lie there thinking how could you be so selfish, you didn't even consider how it would affect the people you love.
@@raspberrycrowns9494 But this is not the worst part...we don't know if there's an after life. But one thing i can assure is: if you close your book, you will not be able to see the grand finale. If you die, you will not be able to change yourself. You will.not be able to change your world view. You will not be able to see the grat victory and the worst lost. If we finish our book, we will not be able to see what will happen. If we finish our book, we will not be able to reinterpret your story. We will not be able to see the end. We will not be able to know if we are right or wrong. "Suicide is a solution for a temporary problem." But to bad. When we have depression we become sometimes selfish and egocentric. Too bad...
Listening to this song now is basically James's whole career on this platform how he rise and fell from his own actions. Wherever he is now he is at least still enjoying what he does.
@@thescruffinator8830all he did was have an unorthodox fetish that didn’t align with other people’s views. He had a stupid fart fetish and the entire internet turned on him. Who cares?????
@@alexthegr8estt he had fetishes during the time where edgy content and being edgy was the norm on youtube, and so he got harassed a lot. not to mention he was apparently also being creepy with the va of penny from c students, and was seeing a 17 year old when he was 19-20. (people accused him of grooming). he was also apparently toxic to other artists, but now he's been getting the help he needs and reflected on his issues knowing they were wrong.
Finally, an animation that has a situational start that comes with a good ending, it's Nice to see something thats not dreadfull or sorrow in many ways.
This song still gives me goosebumps. I must’ve listened to it a hundred times over the course of the last 8 years, coming back to it every so often. I’ve been through three or four different phases of my life and yet the lyrics and animation still ring true. Whenever I come back to this video, I remember all the other times I’ve been here. I get to look at all the progress I’ve made, how far I’ve come, how different of a person I now am. And what’s most beautiful is how many other people here feel the same. Welcome back, everyone! I hope you’re doing well, too.
3:54 Well done at capturing that moment of true emptiness. Anyone who has ever been extremely suicidal can relate to that exact facial expression. It’s like being controlled by a whole other person. Like you’re not the one in control.
It is not about not being brave enough to do it ,It is about being strong enough to not do it we all have bad days from time to time but some people can face suicidal thoughts more than others. Stay strong. I wish you the best.
I remember when this came out And James this is a song that speaks to people I don’t think I would still be Alive without this song so wherever you are I just wanna say thank you for all you have done.
he was kicked off the internet because people found out he was dating a 16 year old and making farr fetush comics of underage characters...i could care less if he comes back
I hope James is still making content, I know he isn’t under “animated James” but I hope he’s still making stuff somewhere as someone, even if I don’t find it, it seemed like making and sharing art was what he loved and I don’t want him to quit, so I hope that he’s still creating even if under a different name or on a different platform
@@gyblues1244 well we don’t know that for sure. It’s a pretty good assumption, but there’s no way of knowing 100% as of know (though I do agree that his art style is very similar to James’).
@@PeytonianYT Please Give Me Proof Because I Want To See That Its True Also AnimatedJames Recently Made A Update On Twitter On The Discontinued Account
He's British! These are characters from an animated pilot AnimatedJames made called "C Students". But yeah a Boston accent would fit perfectly with his character haha
+Middle Finger RUclips Guy I can't decide if that was a reference to the video (which is the part where James see's the comment that says "furfag") or an insult...
+purple pen with us animators its REALLY easy to brush off comments. Just follow these simple steps. 1: see a hat comment directed at you, or towards your animations 2: look at the commenter's youtube channel page. 3: See that the channel has no content and assume they are just a jealous hater who wants some attention because they are a sad sad person.
+Pikapetey true. I just like to not pay attention to those parts of the Internet where people just try to talk down to others and the best thing to do is not to encourage these people. Just as cool cat would say "I could write something very mean, but I don't want to do that. Plus what you write on the Internet could be there for a long-long time."
You dont see anything outside of youtube. Do you see vimeo, dailymotion, pornhub, liveleak, bestgore, or literally any other video website that isnt a mess?
I've watched and rewatched and rewatched and rewatched this thousands of times. I smashed the like button so hard when I first saw it, and I swear, if there was a way to double or triple like a video, this would be the first video I would.
@Ayooo Glizzy Check Fuck you if someone has something that they cannot control don’t blame people for what they’ve done purely based on what you’ve seen and not even putting effort into digging deeper to actually find reason behind their actions.
Things I've noticed after coming back to this video every few months since the day it dropped: 1) Every time I come back to it, I'm in a completely different saga of life than the last time. 2) The lyrics have been permanently ingrained in my mind.
I know he said he hated who he was while running this channel, but...I can't imagine him being a toxic person or a bad influence with a video like this. It really meant something to me.
Kinda like what happened to "Dishonored Wolf," another one of my favourite RUclipsrs. I enjoy both their content & I'm sad to see both of them leaving this platform & no longer creating anything here (though I can understand their reasons why.) I wish them both well, wherever they are & whatever they're doing.
He dated a 14 year old girl, said he hated his fans, and drew lots of scat and fart fetish art. Last one isn't really as harmful, but still disgusting.
Creative Types - Lyrics by AnimatedJames [Verse 1] There's not much here for me When I'm here I don't feel free But when I'm there I feel alive It's what I need to survive No offense, you're all great But it really is too late To change my personality It's just my reality And I do not blame you For questioning what I do It doesn't matter Well technically it matters to me, but it shouldn't matter to you [Chorus] I don't need any substance in order to feel high I can't stop you from asking why Why I choose to live this way It's no one's fault but mine And trust me I'll be fine As long as I have my alone time My alone time [Verse 2] I'm still in love with myself With my purpose, with my health And with the goal I have in mind Just the thought helps me unwind I don't doubt you're the same Picture with a different frame If you won't tell I will not ask What you hide behind the mask I don't really have a clue Despite what I think is true I'm so pretentious While I might be pretentious I'm still no better than you [Chorus] I don't need any substance in order to feel high I can't stop you from asking why Why I choose to live this way It's no one's fault but mine And trust me I'll be fine As long as I have my alone time My alone time [Bridge] When I'm all alone When I'm on my own It doesn't matter what I do Because no matter what As long as that door's shut Not once do I wish that I could be like you [Verse 3] Sadly I know it's wrong And I knew it all along I just thought it would be nice To not have to pay the price You are someone I adore What do you think I'm alive for But you're an individual You have your own schedule We are both mostly free There's so many sights to see It isn't worth it I mean it might be worth it If the sights could come to me I won't pretend I'm perfect I'm not even close I've screwed up more often than most But in our darkest moments Together we'll be fine We'll help each other climb I'll help you reach your prime I'll make sure you can find me When I'm done with my alone time
Hey man dont fret, Just read the description this is still fantastic work regardless. Very touching and heartfelt, Beautifully animated and you can tell how much you've improved over the year and how you keep will improving. You got this James and wishing you the best man
It's been years since you've left, but your animations fueled my childhood, inspired my art, and it stayed with me to my adulthood. You are the push that got me to want to animate. Thank you
Hi James, I don’t know if you’ll ever read this but I wanted you to know that despite the discontinuation of your channel for reasons I fully support (I hope you experience the growth and self love you deserve as a result of your decision btw), I still go back and watch this video every now and then because it reminds me that despite how sad I was 4 years ago when it was created, I was never truly alone and there were incredible people and incredible content like this out there who were there to help me through that time. That said, this video never failed to put a bittersweet smile on my face and I doubt it ever will, so thank you. It’s a beautiful reflection on what it’s like to experience loss or bullying, and just as much so a reminder that there’s always someone out there who will want to do anything they can just to ease the pain a little bit. I hope you’re doing well and go on one day to inspire people with content that truly reflects the person you are
When you realize that this is the last time we'd ever see these characters animated and show some sort of development in their personalities. You will be missed animated james, I've known you for almost 6 years, and I miss those the most.
First time I watched this but James’s art style is something I can recognize anywhere and his old crossover animations will always hold a small little place in my heart (even if some of the things he did where straight up not okay) This is very sweet. I never watched this or c students before today but something in the song makes me feel nostalgic for something I never knew before. (Probably because the art style and animation is familiar) It’s late at night right now and sometimes I find myself in this weird nostalgic vibe. Don’t know if anyone really bothered to read this far but thanks if ya did.
Recestii Cringelord i did, he didn't say that he's quitting RUclips as a whole (tho he might likely do that) but he said he's not coming back in this channel anymore
it's 2020 and I still miss AnimatedJames, It's Sad that you are gone on RUclips but I and many other fans hope to see one last video from you to remind us of good memories in the future.
Do you think James still comes back and checks the comments? I like to believe he does. I hope you're doing good, James. This one song has helped me and countless others through very hard times. Never stop creating, even if you never post it.
Am I the only one who noticed that he listed different kinds of art in this video? Digital Art Story Writing Comedy Music Singing Economics Graffiti and Drawing Like damn, I didn't notice this till later on. Truly, these are CREATIVE TYPES of art.
@@hanz2904 Believe it or not it is! Don't worry, I was surprised too. Apparently though, there is some people who theorize about it being a science too. www.economicsdiscussion.net/economics-2/nature-of-economics-economics-as-a-science-and-an-art/1982 www.economicshelp.org/blog/1837/economics/economics-science-or-art/
It is very interesting and a pretty song for it, almost every art was shown beautifully, I watch it every time I can't understand my own thoughts, at least story writing thoughts
James, I can't begin to tell you how thankful I am for this song, hearing this always puts a tear to my eyes because I relate to each and every character in this story. I've been there when people insult my art for a laugh. I've felt the excitement when getting a view on a story I've posted. Even being homeless at one point someone once tried to buy my art from my scetchbook. And always putting on a brave face and laughing just to know that on the inside I'm reaching out for help. James, thank you!
It’s 2024 and I’m in my senior year of college, debating whether or not to pursue something creative. Coming back to this video fills me with incredible motivation to pursue what I love, despite the hardships
I know right? I was expecting a light-hearted, comedic song animation....and then got this. Not that I'm unhappy, just... I almost (ALMOST) cried.... This was so cool and how they interacted with each other, and wow, it was so good! The singing and the animations were both too good! This is one of favorite videos of AnimatedJames!!!! C:
Same i purposely stay subbed to keep seeing this animation, to hear the vocals and remember all the lyrics i learned over the years of listening to it. I jut miss the overall animation it gives me such nostalgia
there are many other "simple details", including the irony in the email, 0 grammar and the hater's middle finger in the profile pic. They all total uo to make a beautiful vid indeed
I love coming back to creative types. It takes me back to who I was seven years ago when it came out- I was at my lowest. I was 15 in an abusive household and felt like I had no control over my life. I struggled with depression and suicidal thoughts and honestly just with finding my place in the world and as an artist, and having gotten through the rough patches, it’s a bittersweet feeling hearing this song again. This was a message I so desperately needed when I was a kid, and even though I know you’re no longer on this account, James, I hope you know that I’m so thankful to you for giving a hand to help pull me up when I didn’t even think I deserved it. Now I’m 22 and, honestly, am doing better than I ever imagined I would or could. I wrote in a journal when I was 15 or 16 like a literal essay about how creative types was my favorite song because it helped me feel hopeful for the future and that it helped articulate feelings I struggled to put into words. I think it’s silly that I even did that, but it was for sure an outlet for me. :) Thank you, James! And to all my friends who have made it this far since then- congratulations. I am so unbelievably proud of you. You’ve made it through some of your worst days, and you have the best ahead of you. 💖
This didn't hit me as hard as when I was young. The song, the video, its meaning. Nothing hit me I just watched and listened. Watching it now I actually cried before the end of it! This is a true under rated masterpiece
This song was released when he was caught up in a fair bit of drama and perfectly captures his mental state during it, it also references some of the things that happened during the drama. Such as how the heckler is not only modeled after James but is also a reference to when HE was a heckler in an actual standup comedy show.
I didn't even piece that together until just now, 7 years later. Showing the heckler getting shut down all the while just makes that such a powerful moment on how it relates to James growing as a human (like the entirety of the song is)
It's wild how this was essentially an adaptation of what he was going through and everyone received the song well and related to his self insert character, but people could'nt actually accept james... like at least with everything he had the balls to be himself lol
It kinda feels sad knowing that the guy who got me into art and animation despite me being colourblind has stopped uploading to his channel this song also helped me through a rough time in my life because of bullying if you are someday reading James you've probably helped many people.
Also regarding drawing-just practice my dood I know it seems painful trying do meet expectations whilst being colourblind but the less you try to make it better the worse it gets and hell I've been there contemplating about why I'm doing art but then I got over those stumps and still practice some times a majority of the skills I use are from RUclips actually its surprising how easy it is to learn some things whilst also being colourblind I mean I've learned from RUclips how to rig and animate using the software provided by my college course
This song teaches a lesson that a lot of people should hear right now. I know James discontinued the channel because he didn’t like the person he was when creating content, but I just hope he sees how appreciative people are of his content today
Lyrics cuz why not: There's not much here for me When I'm here I don't feel free But when I'm there I feel alive It's what I need to survive No offense, you're all great But it really is too late To change my personality It's just my reality And I do Not blame you For questioning what I do It doesn't matter Well technically it matters to me But it shouldn't matter to you I don't need any substance In order to feel high I can't stop you from asking why Why I choose to live this way It's no one's fault but mine And trust me I'll be fine As long as I have my alone time My alone time I'm still in love with my self With my purpose, with my health And with the goal I have in mind Just the thought helps me unwind I don't doubt You're the same picture with a different frame If you won't tell I will not ask What you hide behind the mask I don't really have a clue Despite what I think is true I'm so pretentious While I might be pretentious I'm still no better than you I don't need any substance In order to feel high I can't stop you from asking why Why I choose to live this way It's no one's fault but mine And trust me I'll be fine As long as I have my alone time My alone time (When I'm all alone) (when I'm on my own) (It doesn't matter what I do) (Because no matter what) (As long as that doors shut) (Not once do I wish that i could be like you) Sadly I know it's wrong And I knew it all along I just thought it would be nice To not have to pay the price You are someone I adore What do you think I'm alive for? But you're an individual You have your own schedule We are both Mostly free There's so many sights to see It isn't worth it I mean it might be worth it If the sights could come to me I won't pretend I'm worth it I'm not even close I've screwed up more often than most But in our darkest moments Together we'll be fine We'll help eachother climb I'll help you reach your prime I'll make sure you can find me when I'm done with my alone time
*Animator* *Writer* *Comedian* *Musician* *Business worker* *Artist* All of these types of people are so very beautiful UwU Btw I fit in with the *artist, animator, and writer* Edit: oh shoot this got so many likes and I didn’t get any notifications for the replies lol but thanks for trying to help me figure out what the “?” was : ~ )
This man is one of the people that MADE ME APPRECIATE AND LOVE ART/ANIMATION AND MADE ME WANT TO BE WHO I AM TODAY. I remember back around 2013, I was just a kid looking happy looking at good videos on my iPad, and I stumbled upon watching 'Seniors' for the first time. I've watched his content more than ever since. He never failed to put a smile on my face and I would never miss an upload from him. He is one of the people whose content felt like a great escape from reality for me. Someone like me isn't perfect. I've made many mistakes and have always felt like an outcast from everybody else growing up. Drawing and appreciating animation helped me through those tough times. I never had any close friends or anybody who I can really talk to who can truly understand my true feelings. I felt like in real life, I've been sitting in a corner where I'm just too damn afraid to let people understand me at all. Hell, even to this day I still somehow feel like an outcast, even when I tried to avoid it, I can still feel the negativity I had when I made those mistakes as a different person. When I found out that James' had these 'problems', I was shocked. But I wasn't upset because I always remember one thing, we are all human. We all have emotions, we all make mistakes, and we all grow as people. And I'm someone that has been there. Someone who made mistakes and still feels regret, but is trying his very best to try and grow and improve himself. As I'm now a young adult, I'm trying my very best to push myself to become better and be a great artist/creator not just for entertainment, but also for happiness. Watching this animation shows me that in our darkest moments, we need to know that life isn't perfect and humans aren't, but if we decided not to push forward, then it's hopeless. Now, I'm someone who is trying to create content as an artist while also trying to battle college and procrastination but always make these lies telling myself I can still do it after I finish this, then not get a chance to do it at all. But it won't happen if I keep letting time pass. The time is now. It's about a time when I make the decisions and become better for the future. I want to be able to find happiness in what I love doing as an artist, to truly show my passion, commitment, and motivation to heal my emotional scars of self-doubt and self-disappointment. James, if you're out there, I hope you're doing great man. I know you might not be able to see this comment anytime soon, but I just want to say that you give me joy and purpose growing up. You're one of the people that helped me enjoy what I love about cartoons to this day. I love you, man (no homo). I hope you're doing good. Thank you for helping inspire me for what I love, appreciate, and want to do in my career. I'll never forget the legacy you brought on to young creators like me. Edit: Hey, I made this comment a year ago, and I’m gonna be honest and say how despite going through my problems and old habits recently, I’m still pushing to move forward as this video is a great reminder to become a better person for the future. I’m still human, trying to be better, no matter how many times I fall down, I get back up and move forward to happiness. Still hope you’re doing better, James.
This defines the mentality of creative people: Staying up late working on a creation becomes the reason for life. Knowing other people enjoy the creation provides the joy. "I don't need any substance in order to feel high". "My alone time" is when these creations happen.
Isaiah Paguaga At least he didn't google a picture, set it as his own profile picture, then criticize everyone else's profile pictures because they're original.
James, you should never feel down becuz of the HATERZ that hate. Your animations are amazing and your one of the biggest reasons why I got into animation and digital art. Also to your friends they each have their own AMAZING talents like you I just wish I could be like you guys. from all the videos that I've watched from you inspired me to so many things and have made me laugh everyday even when I'm down. Thank you!
I hate furries but I don't discriminate or even show hate I just ignore that part of their personality and just talk about something alse or move on James is awesome and represents the good and creative contents of RUclips unlike those reactions videos you are who you are don't let others tell you differently just because there perspective is dumb
+AnimatedJames See James? We're all here for you! 😊 Also thank you +O.T. Gamer, +FrostBiteWolf87 //, +Skylar's da limit, and +purple guy VIVIVI for supporting my comment!
Sick Ducker It was honestly really sad, since he was completely different from the one we knew in C Student, since he showed no signs of being “unhappy.”
Just saved this video. Wish this was on Spotify so I can save it to my playlist. I love the self-awareness in these lyrics. It's hard to come across music anymore where it isn't just about romance or romantic heartbreak. AnimatedJames, you literally made an original music video that hit 5.1M views as a solo artist. That's incredible man. I hope everything goes well with therapy. Would love to see what more you could do in the animation community if you ever come back to it Edit: Guys, this song is on Spotify
I'm back during quarantine, I find myself coming back every time I'm feeling shitty. I'd just like to say thank you to James, his content has helped me so much and it's sad that this channel is discontinued. I hope everyone here (including james) is in a good place both physically and mentally.
I wish people didn't freak out when he dated a 16 year old girl when he was 22. Or even more people freaking out when he said he loves his fart fetish fans more than his regular fans.
@@shroomy_gloomy_goo2891 I mean regardless of what anybody says, it's still illegal and by law, grooming. What he did can't be forgiven. I don't hope the worst on him though, I hope he's doing well and trying to correct the mistakes he made. He is human after all.
I love this, and I know nobody will probably see this, but you need to know you have touched me in a way that nothing has before. This is just like my life, I love drawing and writing my own stories, but my grades are slipping and I feel under a lot of pressure. This showed me there's a different path. Thank you James, this is the best video I have seen in my life.
And then the man with the screen name "ThatAwkwardGiraffe" went on to enrich many people's lives with being overly dramatic about a youtube video which sounds almost exactly like the song Mr. Blue Sky.
Reaper Panda you obviously haven't gone through the things we have, and you have no idea what we do go through. without the creative people like us,you wouldn't have music, books, animation, non of that
It’s still kind of upsets me to this day that animated James became such a creep and dated underage girl and sexualized underage people in his projects, but I’m still glad that he did get some help from his weird interest and all from a young age, I was so inspired by this person and when I say I miss animated James, I never mean the creep I mean the funny out of pocket RUclipsr that I liked when I was little.
I have watched this more than 10 times and I still always cry. Its very well told, animated, and I love the song. I'm sad to see you wont be making these amazing and high quality animations any more.
It’s 2021 now and I still miss his animations, I understand why he chose to stop, I’m going through a hard time rn with school and the future I just wish wherever James is he’s happier doing what he’s doing

Character’s names in order of appearance- August Penny Kevin Nicole Scarlet Drew (If you don’t know who these characters are, they are from Jame’s series C Students, check it out!)
This could be an afterlife film based on C Students. May be too soon, but being too early to break hearts couldn’t make enough sense unless you’re Kevin.
I’m so sad. Looking back on this while channel two years later. It’s terrible that James doesn’t post anymore. His content was truly marvelous for my lost 6th grade self. I almost felt like, I belonged back then.
i know it's been nine months since you left this comment, and your life has probably changed so much, but, like. that last sentence just really hit me hard. i do feel like i belong in the context of this video. i just wanted you to know, maybe, that you weren't alone in that feeling, either. even though it's been awhile, you know. keep your head up dude, and i'll try to, too.
@@AromonChannel He got shamed on the internet and was pretty beat up over it. I mean, thousands of people mocking him or harassing him over his kinks that he would draw over on his deviant art.
In a sea of 20,000 comments this'll be washed away, but this animation makes me cry every time I see it. You have such a beautiful and amazing talent and I hope you never lose your spark.
God I remember when this channel was active
I miss those days

hah! i see what you did there ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I cried reading this comment. Animated James was amazing
Nice touch
I hate that I know what this means
Hey cool,600th like
Who else came back here after hearing he quit? I know I did, now this song makes much more sense. He was hurting, he was questioning if this was something he wanted to do, and he questioned who his real friends were. And in the end, he gave up. I'm not gonna tell him "good luck" or "I support you in your future endeavors", because that's not what he wants to hear. Instead, I'll say that we never saw you as a mask, we saw you as *you.* A great and talented person capable of amazing things. But we also should've known that you were hurting, and helped the person you saw yourself as, not the person *we* saw. So I simply say goodbye, and I hope one day you show the world who you are not as AnimatedJames, but as *you.*
*Farewell.*
I'm new to this what happened
Ender -chan loves scooter He just lost the spark. This all went in a direction he didn't want to go. Now he feels like there was never any happiness with this channel, like he never had any true friends during his time on this channel. So he abandoned it, moving on to something else (He's still doing Animations, just don't expect a video from him here or anywhere else). Hopefully what he does next gives him that feeling of love and happiness that he felt didn't exist with this channel.
I did..

@@holapotatoes298 ok lol
Wait what happened with the creator of this video?
This song is very important to me. I come back twice or so a year, just whenever it pops in my mind. weather I remember the meaning off the top of my head or not though it never fails to come to me when I need it most. Many things have happened to me and many things will continue to however no matter how much i change and grow this song has and most likely always will follow me. I wish the best for the creator. He's had a huge impact on my art and who I am as a person through specifically this song. Thank you wherever you are James, I mean that from the bottom of my heart.
i hope you have a great day
I can relate to this so much 😭
I remember listening to this so much in my childhood I occasionally come yo this song too one or twice every year.
Thinking about how much time had passed I basically grew with this song.
You might feel a little happier if you search his channel again.
I miss this show
I KNOW RIGHTTT
God him smiling right before the truck reaches him is just hard hitting. The hope of ending the pain can make people happy, that's why some people seem very happy before they end it. That's just great its realistic and hits you hard
AND once upon a time, I was the idiot who dove through, crashing into the poor girl and carrying her just out of harm's way before we were both killed... broke my ankle...
It's a slog through a whole lot of painful memories I kind of need to repeat once in a while. It sucks to have to drag all that back up... BUT sometimes it's beneficent to remind myself why I'm worth living another day... what I "bring to the table" as it were... so substance to my point or purpose... right?
As much as I might despise remembering jamming a pinky into a revolver's action, earning about four stitches, to stop someone blowing a large hole through her head... or damn nearly breaking or even losing my leg in a long-shot dive in front of a truck... whatever... It's nice to look back and say, "I tried. At the god damn least, I tried. I did my damnedest."
I'm no saint... Gods know I've f***ed up more than most, but... well... as I said... I tried. I thank James for reminding me of that from time to time... It often keeps me just looking down the barrel and contemplating... rather than putting the muzzle in my mouth and "unloading it the old fashioned way". ;o)
Suicide sucks because halfway through you're going to instantly regret it and even if you do survive you're going to have live through the aftermath, painfully and sometimes immobilize with love ones begging you not to end your life. And you can't do anything but just lie there thinking how could you be so selfish, you didn't even consider how it would affect the people you love.
@@raspberrycrowns9494 But this is not the worst part...we don't know if there's an after life.
But one thing i can assure is: if you close your book, you will not be able to see the grand finale.
If you die, you will not be able to change yourself. You will.not be able to change your world view. You will not be able to see the grat victory and the worst lost.
If we finish our book, we will not be able to see what will happen. If we finish our book, we will not be able to reinterpret your story.
We will not be able to see the end. We will not be able to know if we are right or wrong.
"Suicide is a solution for a temporary problem."
But to bad. When we have depression we become sometimes selfish and egocentric.
Too bad...

(people accused him of grooming). he was also apparently toxic to other artists, but now he's been getting the help he needs and reflected on his issues knowing they were wrong.

Same, just remembered this video and it made me so sad...
Lol I thought he quit yt because people found his stash of fart fetish comics on deviant art
started crying this morning, felt a need to watch this. i really hope he is okay.
Apparently this was randomly recommended to a bunch of people, personally I just remembered this beautiful piece of art and instantly searched it up
Bro same

Same here, and glad for, as I love these little animated cartoons
I'm one of the people it was randomly recommended to and I got to say, you struck gold when you first found this :)

Finally, an animation that has a situational start that comes with a good ending, it's Nice to see something thats not dreadfull or sorrow in many ways.
Wow your name really conflicts what you said her, lol.
Not completely.
This song still gives me goosebumps. I must’ve listened to it a hundred times over the course of the last 8 years, coming back to it every so often. I’ve been through three or four different phases of my life and yet the lyrics and animation still ring true. Whenever I come back to this video, I remember all the other times I’ve been here. I get to look at all the progress I’ve made, how far I’ve come, how different of a person I now am. And what’s most beautiful is how many other people here feel the same. Welcome back, everyone! I hope you’re doing well, too.
I don't understand why this is suddenly being recommended to everyone, but I'm glad it is.

Well done at capturing that moment of true emptiness. Anyone who has ever been extremely suicidal can relate to that exact facial expression.
It’s like being controlled by a whole other person. Like you’re not the one in control.
Good thing I wasn't brave enough to do it.
It is not about not being brave enough to do it ,It is about being strong enough to not do it we all have bad days from time to time but some people can face suicidal thoughts more than others. Stay strong. I wish you the best.

+purple pen it's a reference he even has the profile picture
+purple pen with us animators its REALLY easy to brush off comments. Just follow these simple steps.
1: see a hat comment directed at you, or towards your animations
2: look at the commenter's youtube channel page.
3: See that the channel has no content and assume they are just a jealous hater who wants some attention because they are a sad sad person.

Mines the Tourettes Guy.
I've watched and rewatched and rewatched and rewatched this thousands of times. I smashed the like button so hard when I first saw it, and I swear, if there was a way to double or triple like a video, this would be the first video I would.
also the most nostalgic video
Sigh. nothing burns me up more than people criticizing others for who they are or what they like. That and school.

I miss him man. Fuck every person that hated on him
@Ayooo Glizzy Check wow why you get a life and shut life
Things I've noticed after coming back to this video every few months since the day it dropped:
1) Every time I come back to it, I'm in a completely different saga of life than the last time.
2) The lyrics have been permanently ingrained in my mind.
This was amazing, and it made me cry in the end. Beautiful animation!
Hi Ace! Live your vids!
brah ace here
this was amazing
ace :0 and yes this actuall made me cry a bit.. Never change who you are guys. Because being yourself is better then being different.
LpsAce I hate to rematch this, it makes me cry I miss C students so much
I know he said he hated who he was while running this channel, but...I can't imagine him being a toxic person or a bad influence with a video like this. It really meant something to me.
Kinda like what happened to "Dishonored Wolf," another one of my favourite RUclipsrs. I enjoy both their content & I'm sad to see both of them leaving this platform & no longer creating anything here (though I can understand their reasons why.) I wish them both well, wherever they are & whatever they're doing.
He dated a 14 year old girl, said he hated his fans, and drew lots of scat and fart fetish art.

Creative Types - Lyrics by AnimatedJames
[Verse 1]
There's not much here for me
When I'm here I don't feel free
But when I'm there I feel alive
It's what I need to survive
No offense, you're all great
But it really is too late
To change my personality
It's just my reality
And I do not blame you
For questioning what I do
It doesn't matter
Well technically it matters to me, but it shouldn't matter to you
[Chorus]
I don't need any substance in order to feel high
I can't stop you from asking why
Why I choose to live this way
It's no one's fault but mine
And trust me I'll be fine
As long as I have my alone time
My alone time
[Verse 2]
I'm still in love with myself
With my purpose, with my health
And with the goal I have in mind
Just the thought helps me unwind
I don't doubt you're the same
Picture with a different frame
If you won't tell I will not ask
What you hide behind the mask
I don't really have a clue
Despite what I think is true
I'm so pretentious
While I might be pretentious
I'm still no better than you
[Chorus]
I don't need any substance in order to feel high
I can't stop you from asking why
Why I choose to live this way
It's no one's fault but mine
And trust me I'll be fine
As long as I have my alone time
My alone time
[Bridge]
When I'm all alone
When I'm on my own
It doesn't matter what I do
Because no matter what
As long as that door's shut
Not once do I wish that I could be like you
[Verse 3]
Sadly I know it's wrong
And I knew it all along
I just thought it would be nice
To not have to pay the price
You are someone I adore
What do you think I'm alive for
But you're an individual
You have your own schedule
We are both mostly free
There's so many sights to see
It isn't worth it
I mean it might be worth it
If the sights could come to me
I won't pretend I'm perfect
I'm not even close
I've screwed up more often than most
But in our darkest moments
Together we'll be fine
We'll help each other climb
I'll help you reach your prime
I'll make sure you can find me
When I'm done with my alone time

Hi James, I don’t know if you’ll ever read this but I wanted you to know that despite the discontinuation of your channel for reasons I fully support (I hope you experience the growth and self love you deserve as a result of your decision btw), I still go back and watch this video every now and then because it reminds me that despite how sad I was 4 years ago when it was created, I was never truly alone and there were incredible people and incredible content like this out there who were there to help me through that time. That said, this video never failed to put a bittersweet smile on my face and I doubt it ever will, so thank you. It’s a beautiful reflection on what it’s like to experience loss or bullying, and just as much so a reminder that there’s always someone out there who will want to do anything they can just to ease the pain a little bit. I hope you’re doing well and go on one day to inspire people with content that truly reflects the person you are

First time I watched this but James’s art style is something I can recognize anywhere and his old crossover animations will always hold a small little place in my heart (even if some of the things he did where straight up not okay)
This is very sweet.
I never watched this or c students before today but something in the song makes me feel nostalgic for something I never knew before.
(Probably because the art style and animation is familiar)
It’s late at night right now and sometimes I find myself in this weird nostalgic vibe.
Don’t know if anyone really bothered to read this far but thanks if ya did.
I'm here after James announced that he is discontinuing RUclips, so I'm here watching what I personally think is his best video.

I remember first watching that sonic vs rainbow dash vid. Those were the days
Fizzy Fizzy yea
I know it's a simple detail, but I think it's genius when the woman gets money in her eyes, and then blocks out the heart with it.
Nerwool yeah, its so amazing all the carefully thought out detail in this.
It may not be the whole "people enjoy money over love", but maybe she just simply felt a little in the process.
Natwhal Yes! I'm not the only one who noticed
there are many other "simple details", including the irony in the email, 0 grammar and the hater's middle finger in the profile pic.
They all total uo to make a beautiful vid indeed
I am that woman! And I don't want to be..
I love coming back to creative types. It takes me back to who I was seven years ago when it came out- I was at my lowest. I was 15 in an abusive household and felt like I had no control over my life. I struggled with depression and suicidal thoughts and honestly just with finding my place in the world and as an artist, and having gotten through the rough patches, it’s a bittersweet feeling hearing this song again. This was a message I so desperately needed when I was a kid, and even though I know you’re no longer on this account, James, I hope you know that I’m so thankful to you for giving a hand to help pull me up when I didn’t even think I deserved it. Now I’m 22 and, honestly, am doing better than I ever imagined I would or could.
I wrote in a journal when I was 15 or 16 like a literal essay about how creative types was my favorite song because it helped me feel hopeful for the future and that it helped articulate feelings I struggled to put into words. I think it’s silly that I even did that, but it was for sure an outlet for me. :)
Thank you, James! And to all my friends who have made it this far since then- congratulations. I am so unbelievably proud of you. You’ve made it through some of your worst days, and you have the best ahead of you. 💖
Man, we have lost talented animator after talented animator on this site, miss you James!
*+GodsBiggest Mistake* me too
True but improve your grammar
what?
@@SteveTheRapper2008 WAIT YOU HERE?
Marco Animações yeah
I did not even know these are the grown people from c students lol
Ik i have seen this like a 100 times and i just realized!!
Same
Tadhg Chun BE MORE CHIL!!!!!
Oaf I just realized...
This didn't hit me as hard as when I was young. The song, the video, its meaning. Nothing hit me I just watched and listened. Watching it now I actually cried before the end of it! This is a true under rated masterpiece
This song was released when he was caught up in a fair bit of drama and perfectly captures his mental state during it, it also references some of the things that happened during the drama.
Such as how the heckler is not only modeled after James but is also a reference to when HE was a heckler in an actual standup comedy show.
WOW that's amazing. I can't believe I'm still learning about new layers to this
I didn't even piece that together until just now, 7 years later. Showing the heckler getting shut down all the while just makes that such a powerful moment on how it relates to James growing as a human (like the entirety of the song is)
It's wild how this was essentially an adaptation of what he was going through and everyone received the song well and related to his self insert character, but people could'nt actually accept james... like at least with everything he had the balls to be himself lol
It kinda feels sad knowing that the guy who got me into art and animation despite me being colourblind has stopped uploading to his channel this song also helped me through a rough time in my life because of bullying if you are someday reading James you've probably helped many people.
YOU ARE COLORBLIND AND KNOW HOW TO DRAW?? No matter how much i try i never succeed in anything other than being a useless piece of shit :(
@@Dia06 it's actually funny coming back to this song and realising that I wasn't half wrong with animation because I'm studying a game design course
Also regarding drawing-just practice my dood I know it seems painful trying do meet expectations whilst being colourblind but the less you try to make it better the worse it gets and hell I've been there contemplating about why I'm doing art but then I got over those stumps and still practice some times a majority of the skills I use are from RUclips actually its surprising how easy it is to learn some things whilst also being colourblind I mean I've learned from RUclips how to rig and animate using the software provided by my college course
Poor Kevin. And after he sang that whole song about possibility.
HOLY CRAP- I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THAT....YOU MADAM HAVE OPEND MY ASIAN EYES-
(Very rare to find people like that)
Just a Channel Watch 'C-Students'
This song teaches a lesson that a lot of people should hear right now. I know James discontinued the channel because he didn’t like the person he was when creating content, but I just hope he sees how appreciative people are of his content today
I thought it was because he dated a 16 year old when he was 22
@@shroomy_gloomy_goo2891 It was that and he had a fixation for farts
i thought he discontinued it because people found out about his kink?
@@JustZal that was one of many reasons why he discontinued

Lyrics cuz why not:
There's not much here for me
When I'm here I don't feel free
But when I'm there I feel alive
It's what I need to survive
No offense, you're all great
But it really is too late
To change my personality
It's just my reality
And I do
Not blame you
For questioning what I do
It doesn't matter
Well technically it matters to me
But it shouldn't matter to you
I don't need any substance
In order to feel high
I can't stop you from asking why
Why I choose to live this way
It's no one's fault but mine
And trust me I'll be fine
As long as I have my alone time
My alone time
I'm still in love with my self
With my purpose, with my health
And with the goal I have in mind
Just the thought helps me unwind
I don't doubt
You're the same picture with a different frame
If you won't tell I will not ask
What you hide behind the mask
I don't really have a clue
Despite what I think is true
I'm so pretentious
While I might be pretentious
I'm still no better than you
I don't need any substance
In order to feel high
I can't stop you from asking why
Why I choose to live this way
It's no one's fault but mine
And trust me I'll be fine
As long as I have my alone time
My alone time
(When I'm all alone)
(when I'm on my own)
(It doesn't matter what I do)
(Because no matter what)
(As long as that doors shut)
(Not once do I wish that i could be like you)
Sadly I know it's wrong
And I knew it all along
I just thought it would be nice
To not have to pay the price
You are someone I adore
What do you think I'm alive for?
But you're an individual
You have your own schedule
We are both
Mostly free
There's so many sights to see
It isn't worth it
I mean it might be worth it
If the sights could come to me
I won't pretend I'm worth it
I'm not even close
I've screwed up more often than most
But in our darkest moments
Together we'll be fine
We'll help eachother climb
I'll help you reach your prime
I'll make sure you can find me when I'm done with my alone time
There are no words that can accurately describe how much I love this.
How about furfag? :/
This describes a lot of people

Aaron Landry yes
This man is one of the people that MADE ME APPRECIATE AND LOVE ART/ANIMATION AND MADE ME WANT TO BE WHO I AM TODAY. I remember back around 2013, I was just a kid looking happy looking at good videos on my iPad, and I stumbled upon watching 'Seniors' for the first time. I've watched his content more than ever since. He never failed to put a smile on my face and I would never miss an upload from him.
He is one of the people whose content felt like a great escape from reality for me. Someone like me isn't perfect. I've made many mistakes and have always felt like an outcast from everybody else growing up. Drawing and appreciating animation helped me through those tough times. I never had any close friends or anybody who I can really talk to who can truly understand my true feelings. I felt like in real life, I've been sitting in a corner where I'm just too damn afraid to let people understand me at all. Hell, even to this day I still somehow feel like an outcast, even when I tried to avoid it, I can still feel the negativity I had when I made those mistakes as a different person.
When I found out that James' had these 'problems', I was shocked. But I wasn't upset because I always remember one thing, we are all human. We all have emotions, we all make mistakes, and we all grow as people. And I'm someone that has been there. Someone who made mistakes and still feels regret, but is trying his very best to try and grow and improve himself. As I'm now a young adult, I'm trying my very best to push myself to become better and be a great artist/creator not just for entertainment, but also for happiness. Watching this animation shows me that in our darkest moments, we need to know that life isn't perfect and humans aren't, but if we decided not to push forward, then it's hopeless.
Now, I'm someone who is trying to create content as an artist while also trying to battle college and procrastination but always make these lies telling myself I can still do it after I finish this, then not get a chance to do it at all. But it won't happen if I keep letting time pass. The time is now. It's about a time when I make the decisions and become better for the future. I want to be able to find happiness in what I love doing as an artist, to truly show my passion, commitment, and motivation to heal my emotional scars of self-doubt and self-disappointment.
James, if you're out there, I hope you're doing great man. I know you might not be able to see this comment anytime soon, but I just want to say that you give me joy and purpose growing up. You're one of the people that helped me enjoy what I love about cartoons to this day. I love you, man (no homo). I hope you're doing good. Thank you for helping inspire me for what I love, appreciate, and want to do in my career. I'll never forget the legacy you brought on to young creators like me.
Edit: Hey, I made this comment a year ago, and I’m gonna be honest and say how despite going through my problems and old habits recently, I’m still pushing to move forward as this video is a great reminder to become a better person for the future. I’m still human, trying to be better, no matter how many times I fall down, I get back up and move forward to happiness. Still hope you’re doing better, James.
Every time I watch this it makes me want to cry, I just hate seeing real or fake people in any pain
I just hope eveybody has a very nice day and I hope that you live a happy life
thank you. same to you
You too
So touching....
me to, whenever I upset someone close to me I feel like the worst person on the planet
not annoying. just another reason for me to watch this again ^^
Agreed

Yush!
Certainly.
yeah
For once RUclips actually gives good recommendations 👌🏻
Lets give him 1 mil. subs so the gold button will be send to his home and he might come back!
@@ILike_Sleeping yes
I Miss C Student , and Group Five

Eyyyyy 👈🏻👈🏻
This defines the mentality of creative people: Staying up late working on a creation becomes the reason for life. Knowing other people enjoy the creation provides the joy. "I don't need any substance in order to feel high". "My alone time" is when these creations happen.
thanks for making me feel not alone anymore
smartboy gaming What even is that avatar?
Isaiah Paguaga something better than your life is what it is
Isaiah Paguaga At least he didn't google a picture, set it as his own profile picture, then criticize everyone else's profile pictures because they're original.
James, you should never feel down becuz of the HATERZ that hate. Your animations are amazing and your one of the biggest reasons why I got into animation and digital art. Also to your friends they each have their own AMAZING talents like you I just wish I could be like you guys. from all the videos that I've watched from you inspired me to so many things and have made me laugh everyday even when I'm down. Thank you!
I agree with Jen T you should never feel down because of haters
+Animated James look at this comment if you're feeling down. :)
haters just hate because they know your better than them other than looking for inspiration.
I hate furries but I don't discriminate or even show hate I just ignore that part of their personality and just
talk about something alse or move on
James is awesome and represents the good and creative contents of RUclips unlike those reactions videos you are who you are don't let others tell you differently just because there perspective is dumb
+AnimatedJames See James? We're all here for you! 😊 Also thank you +O.T. Gamer, +FrostBiteWolf87 //, +Skylar's da limit, and +purple guy VIVIVI for supporting my comment!
I think i broke when i saw kevins face before he almost got hit. Good job, can't wait for your next project
Halimations UK Yeah humans with no hearts destroys happy feelings
Sick Ducker It was honestly really sad, since he was completely different from the one we knew in C Student, since he showed no signs of being “unhappy.”
There is no next project.
@@LumosVeil Suaside and depression signs are overlooked, trust me.
Just saved this video. Wish this was on Spotify so I can save it to my playlist. I love the self-awareness in these lyrics. It's hard to come across music anymore where it isn't just about romance or romantic heartbreak. AnimatedJames, you literally made an original music video that hit 5.1M views as a solo artist. That's incredible man. I hope everything goes well with therapy. Would love to see what more you could do in the animation community if you ever come back to it
Edit: Guys, this song is on Spotify
I'm back during quarantine, I find myself coming back every time I'm feeling shitty. I'd just like to say thank you to James, his content has helped me so much and it's sad that this channel is discontinued. I hope everyone here (including james) is in a good place both physically and mentally.
👍
I wish people didn't freak out when he dated a 16 year old girl when he was 22. Or even more people freaking out when he said he loves his fart fetish fans more than his regular fans.
@@shroomy_gloomy_goo2891 I mean regardless of what anybody says, it's still illegal and by law, grooming. What he did can't be forgiven. I don't hope the worst on him though, I hope he's doing well and trying to correct the mistakes he made. He is human after all.
@@rwbyrobin8521 I was being sarcastic
A groomer is a groomer and shall never be forgiven
He probably killed himself according to another youtube comment take it with a grain of salt but he probably dead
I love this, and I know nobody will probably see this, but you need to know you have touched me in a way that nothing has before. This is just like my life, I love drawing and writing my own stories, but my grades are slipping and I feel under a lot of pressure. This showed me there's a different path. Thank you James, this is the best video I have seen in my life.
And then the man with the screen name "ThatAwkwardGiraffe" went on to enrich many people's lives with being overly dramatic about a youtube video which sounds almost exactly like the song Mr. Blue Sky.
Yeah this song made me cry hard
but i bet it's probably just my personal experiences
ThatAwkwardGiraffe - that's my life too
Reaper Panda 2 things. 1: I'm a girl. 2: I'm not being dramatic, I've been contemplating suicide.
Reaper Panda you obviously haven't gone through the things we have, and you have no idea what we do go through. without the creative people like us,you wouldn't have music, books, animation, non of that
Whenever I'm depressed I look for this video and watch it again. I always cry from it, but it makes me feel so much better, even when times are tough.
VorenShadow Try finding high energy music of your own genre it helps me a lot
VorenShadow same
I try upbeat dubstep..
(Mostly from geometry dash.)
When I am depressed I do the same thing
It’s still kind of upsets me to this day that animated James became such a creep and dated underage girl and sexualized underage people in his projects, but I’m still glad that he did get some help from his weird interest and all from a young age, I was so inspired by this person and when I say I miss animated James, I never mean the creep I mean the funny out of pocket RUclipsr that I liked when I was little.
Can I just say this is probably the coolest thing I've watched in a while

(If you don’t know who these characters are, they are from Jame’s series C Students, check it out!)
This could be an afterlife film based on C Students. May be too soon, but being too early to break hearts couldn’t make enough sense unless you’re Kevin.

So the spray painter's name is drew, is that meant to be a pun?
I’m so sad. Looking back on this while channel two years later. It’s terrible that James doesn’t post anymore. His content was truly marvelous for my lost 6th grade self. I almost felt like, I belonged back then.
i know it's been nine months since you left this comment, and your life has probably changed so much, but, like. that last sentence just really hit me hard. i do feel like i belong in the context of this video. i just wanted you to know, maybe, that you weren't alone in that feeling, either. even though it's been awhile, you know. keep your head up dude, and i'll try to, too.
Every year I religiously rewatch this and cry my heart out at how relatable some characters are😢
almost 2 years later and I still love this!
