+morgan organ Thirded. The Rae, Taylor, and Peyton dynamic is good. I'd like to see the Banana Republic versions of Twi, AJ, and Rarity at some point too, even if they're separate from the gas station.
I'd say that I think Peel Off is the most charming, but Banana Republic has the most potential for long-term interest. Can't say much about guide to love since there's only been one of them, and it's hard for me to form much of an opinion on that video alone. Though none of them in particular get me as excited as seeing a new Personal Time, MAS, or Gym of the Romantic Journey. I guess Peel Off comes the closest because it feels a bit similar to what you're doing with MAS in terms of humor and commentary, but that's just me personally.

As a suggestion you could continue the dinky shark fighter mini series, I don't think that it would require much animation as it's dinky looking at a camera, and with that you can keep your pony audience.
I fully support your personal endeavors into improving as an animator and it is amazing how much better you've gotten in such a short time. But your best skills are voice-acting and writing, which is why this is my favorite UA-cam Channel. You should honestly consider doing radio drama things featuring your voices, in either the Banana Republic or MAS universe. I think you'd be surprised at how much people gravitate to this channel just for that. I've commented on this before, but I've actually ripped episodes of MAS into MP3 format and save for the occasional visual gag, it still works because of your comedic timing and writing.
I just really want more Gym of the romantic journey. I've been subbed since the early MAS episodes and it might be my favorite thing on this channel yet. Banana republic is pretty good too, would love to see more of that as well.
All the series are very enjoyable, but it would be cool to see more Banana Republic. I feel like the series has a lot of potential for growth and character development.
More DinkySharkFighter32! Seriously, though, it's all good. Your projects are as numerous as they are entertaining. No matter how many views/likes/subs you get, you truly deserve more.
"Some people find Banana Republic una- *peeling* " Don't know if intentional, but... XD On that note though, I personally think your appeal is MOSTLY your writing. The animations are nice, sure, as a visual medium can help add to that kind of stuff. But honestly, the series of yours I enjoyed the most was actually the Mechwarrior series. The way you write characters really is impressive, and it REALLY comes out in that series. The backstory you gave it was well done, the characters humorous without being entirely one-note. And despite the fact that the entire thing was really just a post-commentary, it genuinely felt like more. I guess what I'm trying to say is, no matter what medium you express it in, your major appeal will shine through. Needless to say, whatever you might make in the future, I will definitely be along for the ride. You hooked me long ago, and I can't wait to see what you have in store for the future!
Banana Republic is my favorite of your original series. comedy just gel with me. I would like to see more of the love guide. What ever happened with counting merits? It kind of stopped
My favorite thing in this channel is Gym if the romantic journey, I love the style and I'm interested in the characters. My second favorite thing is MAS, it was what originally brought me to this channel ( when it wasn't animated ). I just wish I could see MAS of the newer episodes, but I understand your doing them in order so it all makes perfect sense. Banana republic has a lot of potential, I could see it become something big, but it would require a lot more work. The pilot of your new series looks like something I would definitely be into, but I'm not sure if it would catch on or not. It would need really good execution for it to work. Now I also really enjoy peel off, but I'm not sure how long you could do that series unless you do more then just mlp. For example, let's say you "analyze" a episode of adventure time, maybe draw her in AT style for that episode since it's about AT. And have you thought about doing a MAS of a different cartoon, is MAS only exclusive to Mlp?
Your probably wondering why I didn't mention all the series that petrip works on, that's because I understand that he is busy, so I didn't feel like I should mention it. I for one would love to see more RDP and that one mini series with dinky, but we know it will probably be awhile before we see any of those. Also, I wouldn't mind seeing that Steven universe animation, it sounds rather funny.
If you're looking for one off guest stars, Game Grumps, Markiplier & Jacksepticeye have done voice work. Nowacking & Xcaliborg do some good voice stuff too. Penguinz0 has a good monotone that can match Taylor & work off them. TeamFourStar can probably do some things too. I also really like Banana Republic, putting faces to Peyton, Taylor & Rae is fun The Romantic Journey series is pretty fun too
A lot going on and quite a few people you're working with now. This stuff coming up sounds awesome. Looking forward to new MLP for parody as well. You can always skip episodes you feel you don't have much to say about. Been a while since I checked Patreon or the website. Patreon implies Monday Music might be coming back. That's be pretty cool if it does. Since you're polling the audience, things I'd like to see after MAS: 1. Dr. Sarkatho 2. Banana Republic 3. The Romantic shorts 4. Peel-off I'd also like to see more LoK. The three voice commentary is a lot of fun and why you have to say usually gets quite a few laughs out of me and my buds. Skyrim Boxer has it's moments and has gotten better, but I'm having trouble getting into the whole Kaybe/Peyton character. That and the Mods can be a bit off-putting from time to time, especially when they malfunction, but I get that customizing the game is how a lot of people like to play and it is a pretty fun series all things considered. This is all very exciting. Keep up the good work.
What you should do is divide your shows into seasons of x number of episodes so that between seasons you can remake and redraw the assets. Say you give Banana republic 6 episodes for the first season, then take a 3-4 month break and remake the basic assets, partially redraw the original backgrounds, add one or two new backgrounds and remake the puppets so that season two can be better. And then you repeat it again, and again and again. You don't have the money or experience to just create a product that won't need much improvement from season to season yet so why not take improvement and art style evolution into account and plan around it..
I'd say keep Twilight as is till you get to the new stuff, then kinda make it a big deal that the deja vu is gone. I have no real complaints with banana republic, I personally like it. If I had to pick SOMETHING, is just that the episdoes are so short, it leaves me wanting more. As for what to focus on, eeeeeeeeh...honestly, bust out a dart board, put some names up, and toss a few darts, see what sticks. XD I can't pick, myself.
you should talk to sim gretina and see if she can do a song for one of the big fight scenes in gym of the romantic journey that would be the coolest things ever
Let's Rambles, yes? You said nothing on this. Will there be more games to take up where Mech Warrior and Fallout left off or is Kain and Skyrim all that you are doing. Will Taylor even have her own series, what would she play? Would doing a Steven Universe parody interest you, because that may be a good way to draw in new fans. I love you're character and wish for the most success for you as possible, yes.
betsy lee or warlordofnoodles, same person so whichever name you want, might be a good person to try. She's running a series called no evil that could use some attention, and her episodes always get featured on newgrounds. you could offer a crosspromotion thing.
Any update on The Star In Yellow, Greg? Did you just kinda drop it, or is that still a thing you have planned to release in the near future? Still loving MAS and Personal Time, I'll be here to support you in the long run!
i would think having something a bit shorter than these vids that u can pump out a couple times a week would be good for youtube attention. maybe more nanalysis or dinky? i hear youtube's behind the scenes stuff is good for video game lets plays, perhaps more kaybe is the way to go? or u could try in character reaction vids? thats gotta be less time heavy than animating, right?
About MAS. Greg, I think you start to divagate from what MAS really about. If we would like to watch good animation we'd go watch original series but what we need is "more mental challenges"(c). Remember RDP. There was no actual animation but we love it. Try to focus on script and conception as a whole.
I can name a UA-camr and a few ideas that might help you, 1: PanPizza ( rebelTaxi ), he is a rather popular reviewer on UA-cam. He has a weekly podcast, which is rather popular amongst animators, artist both on UA-cam and major networks. He usually has popular UA-cam animators on as guest and some rather big content creators such as the creator of "grim adventures of billy and Mandy", the creators of "Swat Kats". Most of pans followers are fans of animation, so being in his podcast would help you get out there more. You would have to contact his email for more info. You have improved at flash quite a bit since you started, and I was wondering if you have ever thought about doing a fan animation, you know like the game grumps animation. People love GG animations, and if you email GG you could have your uploaded on there channel. Also, I wouldn't mind helping you guys, I'm a "artist", I go by EndlessPixels on da, but most of my art is uploaded on my tumblr ( MageRabbit).
I also have a Twitter ( MageRabbit ), I'm still learning, but I wouldn't mind learning from people with more experience. I'm also willing to do it for free since you will be showing how you art, and I consider that as payment. I hope all the info i have giving will help, thank you for reading.
>still no more Rainbow Dash presents. ;-; I'd be willing to offer my voice for work, I've got great recording equipment for helping out. No pay needed, just willing to help.
I initially didn't bother with Gym of the romantic journey because I didn't like the art style. Then after I ran out of other things to watch on this channel I gave it a try and watched a couple of episodes and it still didn't do anything for me. Sorry don't know what to tell you. It's not for everyone and that's fine. As for crossovers maybe contact the Neebsgaming guys (also known as hankandjeb, jonnyethco and few others all the same group). They're in a similar boat in that they spent a lot of time working on animations and only got a limited number of views for the amount of work they put it, so they started the gaming channel to build up a subscriber base to pay the bills. They are always happy to cross promotions with other channels. Maybe you could send Blueman onto their minecraft server or something (That said, that was your other series that did nothing for me, the rest of your stuff is great). You could offer them the animation commission as well. They're always happy to work for money but they are pretty experienced though (Doraleous and associates, mob squad, battlefield friends, Toonstone) so not sure how their rates would compare to what you have in mind.
Have you ever considered moving your non pony content to another channel? I suspect one problem you might be having is that the pony fans are not watching non-pony content, while non-bronies are turned away from your channel due to the pony content. This leaves your main audience to being people who both like pony content, but aren't fully committed to it. I personally know several people who would like gym of the romantic journey, but are not fans of pony content. Just some food for thought I guess.
A mumble server? Why don't you use Discord? It has a built in chat and you don't need to administer it. I tried mumble and I hate it. It misses a lot of functions. Want to reach more people? Go social media with it. use your fans to spread your work.
I wanna see more Peel Off. Also on the subject of advertising, as a word of advice from a consumer's stand point, change the thumbnails for "Personal Time". Even though I've been subscribed for years now, I only started watching Personal Time recently because the thumbnails are extremely unappealing. Standing in front of a blank background doesn't catch the eye at all and gives the impression you're about to give an extremely tedious powerpoint presentation.
Hey, I want to help the site out the best I could, but honestly your content just doesn't work for people who are new to it. Your sense of humour requires thinking and reading between the lines and understanding simple politics or whatnot. I've shown my friends some of your content but they just don't like it, your sense of humour just doesn't do it for them. The Alan hour type humour is your best chance to reach a wider audience, if you can incorporate that into banana republic, that might work, and get some guys into it, that type of humour doesn't work with female characters as much.
Allen Chaney Allen Hour* It's the special hour every week where we give a sh*t about you :P It's funny cause we don't know what we're giving a sh*t about.

+jackkuro seconded

You should keep the Allen Hour, the animation is so realistic and fluid
We have been farming out animation on my sideburns to Taiwan. Like, the whole place.
I'd say that I think Peel Off is the most charming, but Banana Republic has the most potential for long-term interest. Can't say much about guide to love since there's only been one of them, and it's hard for me to form much of an opinion on that video alone.

The way I explain it is "Twilight is speedrunning Season 1"
I agree on Banana Republic. Peyton's story must be told!
+Qohun Yes.
And Taylor. We need more Taylor.
+GMSK 758 of course we need Taylor because who else is Peyton going to use as the meat shield. Yes
When greg says "as I do more animation" at around 2:30 it syncs up perfectly with the background music as if it was one of the verses.
I meant 21:30
"Someday I too will be pretty at art." SOON!
As a suggestion you could continue the dinky shark fighter mini series, I don't think that it would require much animation as it's dinky looking at a camera, and with that you can keep your pony audience.
+War Saddle That'd be up to petirep, not greg, I think it's entirely petirep's thing, writing, animating, and voice acting. If I'm not mistaking.
I fully support your personal endeavors into improving as an animator and it is amazing how much better you've gotten in such a short time. But your best skills are voice-acting and writing, which is why this is my favorite UA-cam Channel.

+Dead Palette Also, the negative MAS episodes are awesome fan service. Like the whole 'Daiquiri for Rarity' bit.
I really could listen to you talk all day... I love to listen to the Burland Campaign when I'm drawing :)
Guide to love and peel off are fantastic
I really like peel off.
Cool news all 'round. The glimmer episode was really good.
peel off.. peel.off is awesome.... i wanna see peel off in thems fights herds.
I love Gym of the Romantic Journey! I hope you can reach a wider audience, cuz that series is goooood. Real good. I hope it goes on for a long time.
oh thank the lord of the dwarves that comic may be coming back
I should actually check out the site. Haven't looked at it in awhile.
I'd really like to see a new Peel Off or Banana Republic.
I just really want more Gym of the romantic journey. I've been subbed since the early MAS episodes and it might be my favorite thing on this channel yet. Banana republic is pretty good too, would love to see more of that as well.
All the series are very enjoyable, but it would be cool to see more Banana Republic. I feel like the series has a lot of potential for growth and character development.
Well Greg, I've been a longtime fan so I'll keep spreading GotRJ as much as I can ;D
i'd love to see more of the dwarf comics :D
More DinkySharkFighter32! Seriously, though, it's all good. Your projects are as numerous as they are entertaining. No matter how many views/likes/subs you get, you truly deserve more.
I really like that you edited in some visuals
The best way to get free publicity is by sharing it all over social media via Twitter Facebook google+ ect ect
Luffyiscool and RarityDash.
GOTRJ is pretty funny
Also, MA looks great without lipsync. It's like a key thing about the series
"Some people find Banana Republic una- *peeling* "
Don't know if intentional, but... XD

Get Markiplier to help you with Gym the Romantic Journey, he's got an AMAZING voice!
Banana Republic is my favorite of your original series. comedy just gel with me. I would like to see more of the love guide. What ever happened with counting merits? It kind of stopped
have you tough of selling Allen's organs to found your ads?
I need those for stuff.
+Allen Chaney I'm sure there is an organ or two you don't use much any more.
More MAS or even rainbow dash presents is the most promising.
You should put an ad on /mlp/

Lord of the dwarves!? Yay! I actually read that.
Banana republic and peel off are best shows
Banana republic is awesome
I have enjoyed a lot of your stuff like Kane and the other video game type stuff but Banana Republic is my vote for your list of possible foci.
What you should do is divide your shows into seasons of x number of episodes so that between seasons you can remake and redraw the assets. Say you give Banana republic 6 episodes for the first season, then take a 3-4 month break and remake the basic assets, partially redraw the original backgrounds, add one or two new backgrounds and remake the puppets so that season two can be better.

I think it's still in production.

Star in yellow is making (slow) progress. 2017 if you're optimistic
Ok back.
OH GOD WHY DOES THE FORUM LOOK SO HORRIBLE? What happened to the nice simple little forum I knew?
Wut
eeveedude632 back in the day it looked in the similar simple style as the rest of the site. now it looks horrid with those gaudy colours.
id rather see more of the pony vidoes or your lp videos
Could "Gym of the Romanticized Journey" be more clear on the content, even it doesn't have quite the same flow?
With jimtheromantickgernie, can we help advertise it for no reward whatsoever?
What kind of software do we need to have to do tween or lip sync work? Does it have to be the same as yours?
Markiplier has a great voice! You could ask him if he is interested :P
And now I redact my statement. Sorry if you wasted time trying to contact him, after some issues he had he kind of changed I think.
Where can I find his contact information?
Will you charge patreon money for the comics? Because I do not want that.
+vhsjpdfg
Nope. Theoretically the extra support from the pledges should cover the cost of making them!
You should get Douchebag Chocolate as a VA.
Did you get a haircut?

i would think having something a bit shorter than these vids that u can pump out a couple times a week would be good for youtube attention. maybe more nanalysis or dinky?
i hear youtube's behind the scenes stuff is good for video game lets plays, perhaps more kaybe is the way to go?
or u could try in character reaction vids? thats gotta be less time heavy than animating, right?
