MaximizedAnimation responds:

I'd like to clear some things up:

1. I did copy and paste the links from YouTube, since I had uploaded the video there first, but I didn't know they said "Are you sure you want to leave YouTube?". If I had known then, I would have fixed the issue if it was a security concern.

2. I hadn't linked to the original posts since, at the time, I felt it wasn't necessary, but in retrospect, I do feel linking to the specific posts would have been a better way to credit the voice actor and artist.

3. I knew the dub used Zelda music, but I couldn't really do anything about removing it when making the animation and therefore didn't prioritize the legal issue. In retrospect, I should have considered the possibility that there would be a legal issue and put more effort into removing or at least quieting down the background music.

4. I will admit that I did trace over the comic, and I do feel ashamed that I resorted to such a move. I had just wanted to replicate the style as best as I could, and for the longest time, I didn't have a lot of confidence in my digital drawing skills, but I shouldn't have let that be an excuse. I wasn't trying to be shady with my methods of animating and uploading, and I meant no ill intent with any of the decisions I made when making this video. Since I made this video, I've put in the effort to stop tracing and be more confident in my digital drawing skills. I regret the mistakes I made here, but I don't want to be lumped together with other artists that continue to trace artwork.

Anyways, thanks for the constructive criticism, and I'll work on these problems in my future videos.
