There's no time stamps and the segments seem to be random lengths T.T
Time stamps would be very helpful!!
Are there any more eps planned and how do animators sign up?
This was worth the wait. This was great to watch 🧙♂🪄
I remember seeing little bits of this year's ago. That it was only finished 8 days ago is crazy lol
I love how Taako is serving cvnt in every art style, through the pure audio medium everyone's mind was connected to know this as fact
I'm pretty sure you can say cunt on here
Which would you say is your favorite serving? For me its gotta be the one at the 3:15 mark
Edit: Nevermind 9:58 wins for me
the constant changing of art style is just such a vibe for the unhinged chaos of early TAZ
I love going back to those early episodes specifically for that chaos
Merle’s “I feel like I don’t know you guys. I feel like we’re grown apart” hits different now 😭
OOOOF
LITERALLY
wait why, someone explain to me
@@greasyweeb massive spoilers for the ending of TAZ
they are all immortal space travellers that knew eachother for centuries before starting the adventure but lost their memories
@@chaolinpescain oh okay, I knew this, I was worried something had happened to our collective dad clint.
Oh my gosh! This was SIX YEARS AGO?? I remember finishing my part 20:36 as a wee babe on my Nintendo 3DS... and now I'm a big big man! What a treasure we've made!
Your part was so cute 😍
omg matt
Not me just starting from the beginning this month and am already done with the suffering game
Hi Matt 🥺
Woah that was cool!
This whole thing is incredible, but that scene with Magic Brian using Magic Missile was really something.
Animated by the legendary Rustnuttie, I’ve replayed that section over and over catching all the small details
Griffin’s dialogue really vamped into that wind-up, too. That is a masterful 26 seconds all the way around
Yeah my jaw dropped when he did the magic missile like that looked so good.
I love how everyone, unanimously, agreed mentally that Taako and Magic Brian ooze fashion and magnetism. Throughout all art styles, all forms of animation, all renditions of these characters, Taako and Brian are peak 👌✨
I love how everyone draws Taako in this it’s so fucking funny
I love the rapid shift between skin tones, it really shows it doesn't matter what colour a character is, you can easily recognise their attributes.
i love how well justin’s impatience with their pace translates into taako’s constant impatience with his companions
13:07 “griffins oc DO NOT STEAL” im WEEPING so cute
the segment that starts at 28:29 is credited as "anonymous" so I just wanna say if the animator of that part is reading this I loved the comedy and motion you put into it. especially Taakos head tilts at the last words "15 points of damage taste"
they're anonymous for this? HUH! i actually know the person who animated it, and their animation of this bit was what got me to even listen to the podcast in the first place (which was what got me into d&d!). and then a little bit later i ended up playing in a game with them! it's one of my favorite animations of the entire podcast tbh, and for the reasons you mentioned.
@@gwenhyfarbeati i didnt check the spreadsheet (since it's kind of hard to figure out without timestamps) but the video credits does say anonymous! idk if they just wanna be unnamed or maybe there was an error. either way its super neat you know them
@@tinac6508 they probably want to be unnamed if i had to guess, as i don't think it'd be hard for the person/people who put it together to find them.
i think so! we don't really talk much anymore but i still follow them on twitter and such!
everyone who is credited as anonymous was done so after they requested it specifically. it's one of the things that comes with a project that's been ongoing for over 5 years, I think. for each of them, their art has changed dramatically and they didn't feel comfortable associating with this old work anymore
@@gwenhyfarbeati it's such a shame because it was one of the parts that i went back and watched over and over (as well as sasha mutch's) because of how great and funny it is, and i watched the credits to find them again and was like oh whoops lol. but i get it! i just hope I'll be able to find them (if they're still active which it sounds like they are) and give em a follow

Huge round of applause for everyone involved!
thanks for your work! upvoting and commenting so maybe it'll show up under "top comments" for others
Do not bury this treasure arrrrr
thank you so much for doing this!
31:13 to 31:24 are all Rosa Cortez, and 31:24 to 31:46 is all Caitlin "Quinn" Sharpe. Thank you for sorting through these!
@@tazanimated thanks, added the correction. impressive work from them both!
I remember listening to this episode in my first year of high school math class like 6 years ago, having no idea how dnd worked, not a clue who anyone was, constantly didn’t know who was talking, but there were just some of those special moments that had me trying to hide my snickering that got me hooked. I’ve been keeping up with this animated project since it was announced and it’s just so amazing to see it all together and so obviously full of love to the series. 💛
Well to be fair, neither does griffin
Before anything…
I guess I understand what adventure zone is but who are the guys behind it?
I'm the artist that did the scene at 30:34! im no longer afoxinwonderland c:
I'm so happy i got to participate in this project!! it was so worth the wait
So glad to see this finally completed!!! Great work everyone ♥️ I animated my part at 10:23 back in high school and I'm already out of college 🤯 time flies!!!
your part is really cute! I love the lil spin you animated
Wild to see so many folks showing this level of talent in high school.
I loved the whole thing, but the timing on the part where Magic Brian is falling down the hole and he wipes the tear off of his face with a dramatic sparkle is PERFECTION.
HOLY. FUCK.
I want to cry? Yeah. I'm gonna cry.
This is the most incredible thing. I've been re-listening to balance for the first time in a while, and it hasn't lost a thing. There's something so magical about what Griffin and his family created.
This? This is... exactly what the whole story was about. How many people, how much time and effort, all went into creating this... unbelievable work of art.
There aren't really words. Just. BRAVO!!
ME TOO WITH THE RE-LISTENING TO BALANCE!!! What perfect timing!!!
The beckoning that Taako does at 3:24 is literally so perfect 😂
11:46 you can see the fucking monocle in Davenport’s shadow and I almost cried. Like you can’t do this to me my dudes
This is crazy to see; I remember having an idea this project was going on because I kept seeing individual clips posted on youtube, but that was forever ago! So many of these shots are familiar, and I'm so happy to see them all together. One of my favorite things about TAZ is seeing everyone's different designs for the characters, and this video is amazing for that; I'm so glad there weren't any limitations on the character designs. Also shout out to the person who did from 21:45, because I LOVE that Killian
I have discovered TAZ listens best while you are near deaths door bein sick AND fresh out of a scalding hot bath/shower. Being clean while having a fever is the perfect setting to listening to this podcast. Trust me, I've done this a dozen times over the years. Currently listening again while having hand/foot/mouth disease...thanks my literal children ❤
11:12 that's so cool how they made the dice talk!
Right!? I thought that was quite clever :)
That was me! Thank you. ☺️
What an incredible feat! I remember when the first call came for animators for this project way back in 2017. Everyone has done an absolutely amazing job!!
Good shit, well done y'all. Especially impressed by the huge Disney vibes at 5:46, the great VFX work at 24:11, the neat 3D mech at 26:11 and whatever the hell I'm looking at at 17:14.
The artist RustNuttie really killed it with their amazing magic missile cast for Magic Brian. Spectacular work!
SO SO GOOD and so worth the wait!! Brian's death is 10x funnier with these visuals
Whoever animated 5.40 in on some next level classic Disney level shit! Super expressive.
Holy cow that magic Brian magic missle scene was SO CLEAN, RustNuttie you absolutely KILLED IT!!!
Oh. The Brian magic missile animation was so damn good. Gave me goosebumps when paired with the audio
That magic missile animation at24:00 was fucking phenomenal.
I remember when I first saw people posting their parts for this project, I'd constantly check the progress and was always thrilled to see it come together piece by piece. This was everything I hoped for and more, I can't believe how many talented folks came together to organize and create such a huge passion project. Very much worth the wait, much love and thanks to everyone who made this possible
Griffin said it best at the end. "That was great shit!" This was a wonderful project and it was great to see so many different art styles and takes on the characters.
Magnus: fixes every broken door with carpentry, my character: fixes everyones shoes with cobblers tools.
Dang I almost forgot about this project. I remember the first posts announcing the project. Really proud of everyone who was involved in this, good job guys!!
Props to all the artists that worked on this, the final result is well worth the wait! Also the shot at 15:00 is beautiful, I did look at the credits list to see who did that part but unfortunately I’m not sure which part that shot lines up to
If it was Magic Brian, it was Johanna Hagstrom, and if it was Taako, it was Cassie Urban!
taako is devastatingly beautiful
@@liazawiska4114 Thank you so much!! I’ll check them both out
My uncle showed me this podcast and introduced me to TAZ and I fell in love. This podcast has been with me since the beginning of my high-school years. I'm not graduating and I've finished the podcast and almost cried. These characters and story was amazing and inspired me to go on and write my own D&D story. Thank you guys for animating this and thank you for the laughs, tears, and gasps.
The inclusion of animating the DM makes this so much better IMO, adore this
Half the artist draw Tako as the nerd emoji and the others make him fine af lol
17:15 got a serious laugh out of me, never even considered that someone would go that direction. I love the whole vid! lots and lots of creativity ♥️
This is the most wonderful thing I’ve seen in a long time - TAZ’s Balance arc holds a special place in my heart, and this work of love has made my day.. no, my *year*
DAMN! This hit me with the feels. I only started listening to Taz in 2020 so I don't have as much nostalgia as a lot of other fans but holy shit this animation was incredible!
I started in 2020 as well! But in a weird way I feel super intensely emotionally attached to it, because it was a lifeline while teaching and designing theatrical costumes remotely and panic learning procreate to do so.
I was working on a show which is partially set in a DnD game, and I had just zero context for that. So TAZ was both escapist delight and a way to experience ttrpg while designing dnd stuff.
And then… I just never stopped listening.
But TAZ got me through 2020.
@@thebadpoet That's amazing! I feel the same way, Taz also got me through some tough times and it still is a big part of escapism when everything becomes a bit too much. Funnily enough I was also learning how to use procreate in 2020! probably not to the same capacity as you, but still it's a cool coincidence!
I know it's a small thing but I appreciated that you edited the sound so that Merle attempts to minister about Pan rather than Marthammor Duin, you can really tell the attention to detail!
Ahhhh!!! Yes!! I'm so proud of everyone! This is incredible!!
Thank you so much for organizing this project! It's been a delight and I'm so happy to see everyone's work together!!
My part is at 26:25 and I'm still proud of it, I learned so much while making it :D
Oh I love your style!!
@@MoaisNotmyname Aw thank you! I'm pretty proud of it!
These designs are INSANE. Some of them are SO good. The Black Spider looked excellent in so many of these styles.
OH SNAP I DIDN'T KNOW THIS DROPPED
I've always loved going through playlists of peoples' parts in this and watching the snippets, it's all so beautifully animated and I enjoy seeing the different takes on the Boys and co. So so excited to see this completed! Thank you all for hosting and participating and bringing the fandom this thing of beauty.
Edit: And THANK YOU for including subtitles!
Edit 2: WOW. Just finished it and laughed the whole way through. Almost felt like experiencing the episode newly all over again, looking for details and seeing artist interpretations of the characters, jokes, and action. Loved the animations as I said, but also the sound editing and the references to other McElroy content was fantastic. Some of the parts were so unique and all of them were creative and fluid. As Griffin said, that was primo.
This is INSANELY well done, what the heck! I absolutely loved seeing so many different styles and interpretations, and yet be able to so very clearly see that they're all of the same characters. Absolutely amazing, I can't imagine the work and love that must have gone into creating something like this. Thank you so much to every person who worked on this!
I actually love seeing everyone's different THB designs in this it's so fun to see all the different takes. I'm so happy to see this finished and out in the world!
this is truely incredible, and just watching this has taken me back to a simpler, happier time in my life. congrats to everyone for creating this!! i cant believe im finally watching this after all these years! thank you everyone from the bottom of my heart for creating this labour of love
This is so nostalgic, so many artists I followed that haven't posted TAZ anything in years. So many emotions
I listened to Balance once through, and I'm realizinG how creative Travis was during combat, this is really cool. Also, props to all these amazing artists!!!
I love group animation projects so much, this is so wonderful! The only downside is getting attached to a particular artist's style and having to adjust to the next lol
Love love love love the huge variation in art styles and artists, love seeing everyone's head cannons!
That was so much fun, great work to the organizers, editors, and animators!! It’s so awesome to see this finally completed, it was a long time in the making and it turned out so cool lol. (I was the paper cutouts segment at 19:50, Taako casting Burning Hands :D )
GOD I CAN'T BELIEVE THE DAY HAS COME! THIS STARTED WAY BACK! When I just discovered the McElroys (podcasting in general) in their TAZ golden age. Jeez, so much has changed since then!
I absolutely loved all of this, especially the designs for Magic Brian, everyone’s art of him was so silly and expressive and everyone made the episode feel just like it should, and it really brought me back to my first listen of TAZ
Magic Brian's magic missile is sweet, gj to the one who animated that
Its so amazing to see this come together!!
Thank you to all the amazing people who have worked on these incredible animations!
Seeing so many iterations of the same lovable characters transition so well is just phenomenal.
I remember watching some of these already years ago and so many more I have never seen.
I love this so much!
This is fantastic! What an amazing effort from all of the animators, editors, and others who brought this to life!
This is an amazing effort! Thank you so much for your hard work!
OH MY GOD THIS IS FANTASTIC???
All the styles! Love seeing everyone's interpretation and the talent to put this together.
This is an absolute masterpiece, thank you to everyone who made it possible!!
I honestly had completely forgotten about this project but seeing this in my suggested videos just made my freakin day. This was such a phenomenal video and I was grinning the entire time. Congrats on this project, everyone did such a fantastic job.
This is such an incredible accomplishment! Huge congrats to all of the fantastic animators and project organizers!
I’m so excited!!! Every variation of animation, art style!!! It’s so great to see the diversity but also how it all comes together in a cohesive story. You always know who is who! Distinctive character traits across art styles
SUCH AN AMAZING PROJECT!! Thank you and congrats to everyone involved, you did a great thing, such a joy to watch!
This is honestly amazing. The amount of time and effort that had to go in for this to come together is awe-inspiring and I'm so proud of all the participants in making something so cool and so like, lovingly respectful of the source material (and all of its silliness!) Animation is way more work than most people know, but I know, and so I say: *carhonk* GOODJOB!
Kudos to the hard work put in by everyone over the years!
this is so fun. thank y’all for putting this together
This turned out soo great! I remember seeing some of the rough animations wayyy back. SO cool that it's finished!
Holy shit this takes me back. Completely in awe of everyone who worked on this, a true artistic and logistical feat. You all reminded me how much i loved this show and these characters.
AMAZING WORK EVERYEONE what an amount of love went into this!! Adventure zone will always be so dear to me and I’m so happy it is to so many others
I love this! Enjoyed how all the aspects of the rolls were added to the visuals. Thank you all for this wonderful work of art!
This was a joy to watch. I can't say how many times I laughed out loud at a creative design or animation choice or simply because I recognized the artist. Thank you so much to everyone who gave their time and effort to put this together.
That was absolutely amazing!! I couldn't take my eyes off it! Great job everyone!
It's so exciting to see this finally - everyone did an amazing job!
WOAH!!!! talk about throwbacks!!!! so glad you guys kept at it, crazy to see all these clips I had seen years ago threaded into the coherent episode. worth the wait!
Congratulations on the project! I loved seeing animators whose work I've seen before and seeing new ones (to me). You all were amazing!
Oh my goodness gracious this is stunning!!! What a wonderful project, I'm so thrilled to finally see its results!!
This turned out great!! Everyone did a great job, there was clearly alot of love put into this
omg I can’t believe it’s finally here! this really had me reliving those wonderful moments as if it were the first time. :-) amazing work everyone!!!
It was really awesome to see this come together over the years.
Thank you to everyone who contributed!!
I've been following this project since it began, it's amazing to see it as a fully realised creation! Amazing job to everyone involved!!
whoa i remember hearing about this years ago when i was actively into Balance, insane that it’s finally out! what a feat y’all have pulled off!
OH MY GOD I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YEARS FOR THIS PROJECT THANK YOU
holy crap!! this is so amazing, congrats to everyone for completing this. what a wonderful project!
There are so many "animatics" on RUclips. It's so fun to see so many fully animated and polished clips of this amazing show in so many fun varieties! Well done to all of them!
im so glad i got to see it finally come together after so many years :) great job everyone!! its incredible!
Absolutely incredible work of everyone!!!!!1 the different art & animation styles made this SUCH a fantastic gem! Wow!!! Gonna keep rewatching this so many times! Thanks for all the work to every artist participating!!! (I have so many fav moments but the counter-magic missle by magic brian was INSANE!)
This is an absolute masterpiece. Kudos to all the incredible artist and animators. What a giant work they did. This really sent me back. Balance gave me so many laughs and feelings and it was amazing to experience it again!
THIS IS AMAZING! The amount of joy this brought me. I did my first listen through of The Adventure Zone in the summer of 2020 and have always felt like I missed out a little on the time of its peak when it was coming out. It’s nice to see big projects like this being completed still and to really see a lot of the fandom.
I’m doing a relisten right now and really enjoying it! Thank you for this wonderful animation!
This was incredible, never watched or heard anything from you guys before this, but will deffo keep you on the radar now
WOW!! I remember seeing individual parts of this project here and there over the last few years and the final product turned out absolutely incredible! Congratulations to all the animators who took part, this is really something special!!
I’m so glad to see this all come together! It looks amazing! Kudos to everyone for such a great project 💖
this is so freaking cool!!! i remember seeing a couple of clips a long time ago (i think the first one was taako's magic missle?) and being so excited. phenomenal work, everyone involved should be so proud!
Amazing work!! I first listened to the podcast 2 years ago and actually started to re-listen to it last month along side with my partner.
I can't express how good this is, so much talent, I loved every second! Congratulations and thanks 💚
this is absolutely incredible!! i remember seeing clips of these back in like 2017 and it’s so wonderful to be able to see the finished product! y’all are amazing!!!
I’ve been waiting for this FOR YEARS! Amazing!!
