Probably the best animation on Youtube. If you haven't watched this, GO WATCH IT FROM THE BEGINNING TO THE END. Trust me, those 5 hours is 100 worth the time. 10 out of 10 in the animation, the sound effects, the, yoou get it everything.

Please do not underestimate the power of this animation series. It will blow your socks off. Absolute basterpiece Alan. Loud applause. My final thoughts? It's better than any animation in the whole platform of Youtube. From the beginning, the animation is full of plot twists, crazy fights, and amazing storyline. Although it can be kinda gory sometimes, it's really fun. Please watch this. I am not advertising, it's my personal thoughts, but it is so wonderful.

From the man behind Animator vs. Animation, this is one of the greatest animations you'll find on YouTube. It starts off as just simple adventures of stick figures playing with Minecraft on a two-dimensional Windows desktop, but as the series progresses, it gets deeper and intense.

It's full of fun slapstick moments, well-animated action scenes, interesting plots, good soundtrack, and somehow, really emotional moments that you wouldn't expect from a fun series like this. And it manages to do that without using faces or dialogue, which gets rid of the language barrier.

Overall I recommend this to people who likes Minecraft, it executes a lot of concepts really well.

The Alan Becker team has time and time again shown their ability to make the amount of effort needed to beautifully animate their videos worth it through fully fleshed out concepts, impressive sound design, genuinely good writing and the restraint so many YouTube animated projects seem to lack. Animation vs. Minecraft Shorts is the prime example of that, with more contained episodes showing off great visual comedy and the exploration of ideas found in the series' unique setting and more serialised, story-driven strings of episodes that take their time to create an interesting story without wasting a single second. So much love and refinement was clearly put into each and every chapter of this show, it's mind-blowing to think an independent team made it. An easy 9/10, beating the many other YouTube animated series that lack the aforementioned qualities.

No, I am not being ironic. I binge watched Season 1-3 in one sitting, and to say I was left emotionally drained and mentally exhausted after it ended (well, when Season 3 ended) would be an understatement. What Alan Becker and his team did with simple stick figures and no spoken dialogue is a marvel of storytelling.

One thing you'd have to keep in mind though, that the series might seem fluid - with no main story line. That's only the case for the first few episodes. There will be a point where the actual plot diverges into something major, and boy, you'll be in for a ride, trust me.

One of the greatest Web Series ever honestly. If you have any passing interest in the game, or even just want a good series to watch, you got to check this one out.
