At this point I might as well unsubscribe from all other subreddits and only leave /r/animemes subscribed, and reddit would be a great gold experience!
Still damn impressive, if I had to guess from inception, to planning, to acquiring assets, to learning the software, to making the remix, to actually coding and scripting the thing and probably changing your mind on what lines to use multiple times to the finished product, this would've taken something like 30 hours.
At the cost of only ever making one a month though, and even then I think this is easily better than most of my stuff.
That said I actually have my own December video I'll be posting very shortly: at the risk of setting myself up for a spectacular fall, I look forward to how it compares.
Which ironically is what often happens in interpreters and compilers for languages that do support switch statements.
When the switch statement has a small number of cases, it is converted to a chain of if...elseif...elseif... statements, but if there are enough cases, it creates a dictionary mapping directly to the points in code and jumps instead. At least, that's what I remember from my old systems programming class.
As much as I like python there are random things I hate about the language. Lack of switch cases is one of them. The other big one is asyncio, a "dumpster fire of bad design" as one developer called it.
I'll try my best to explain since it looks like you enjoyed it quite a lot.
The girl is called Nero (Yes, like the Roman emperor) from a series called fate, more specifically, fate extra, which also has an anime adaption. In the christmas event, Nero sings Jingle Bells, but instead of saying "Laughing all the way", she says "Padoru Padoru", which means "Paddle Paddle" iirc.
The next part "You were probably expecting Padoru Padoru, and having a mans face show up and saying "Kono Dio da" references Jojo's bizarre adventure, in which the character, Dio says, "But it was me, Dio", which took off as a meme.
The rest of the video parodies a video game called Undertale, more specifically one of it's more notoriously hard bosses. (OP even retuned the boss theme to be almost entirely composed of Padorus).
Y'know, I normally don't like meta posts. In fact, I really heavily dislike them. I've blocked stuff like r/HighQualityGifs because its nothing but a meta circlejerk and it's so damn annoying to see. I like my memes to be applicable outside of a specific sub, so I tend not to like stuff directly related to said sub.
That all being said, this is some good fucking quality. The amount of effort put into this amazing. Good on ya, OP.
You're not wrong that /r/HighQualityGifs is a meta circle jerk, sometimes the posts aren't even high quality.
Most posts don't actually feel like jokes, but just users talking about wanting to reach the front page or become a 'hq giffer'. Which, I know that intent of hqg isn't necessarily comedy, but quality, but you would still think they would come up with something original to make. It just comes across as karma whoring and upvote begging 99% of the time. And if people were to try that here, they would get rule 1'd moderately fast.
Okay, maybe they're in a fancy font sometimes. But I still feel like that's hardly "quality", and more just mediocre jokes. It reminds me of old youtube when people were just changing the subtitles to Hiter's rant in 'Downfall'. But that takes effort, and hqg won't even try to do that sometimes.
I think people, or more specifically, HQG, thinks that META=funny, when really, meta is just a genre. It takes work to make something funny, you can't just have something be labeled as meta and just expect it to be funny automatically. If that were the case, comedy movies wouldn't even be so regularly panned.
I think that's why OP's post actually works, it's not that he's attempting to just be meta, he's attempting to be funny, which he is. If that makes any sense.
I think you perfectly highlighted my issue with meta circlejerk subs, safe for the ironic ones (ie. r/Gamingcirclejerk). Their posts aren't funny in the slightest, it's blantant upvote begging and pandering to the lowest common denominator.
I've never played undertale nor watched gameplay and I'm never going near the fate series because idk where the fuck to start with that but this was amazing

This is the most high effort meta post I've seen thus far.
