18:48Alan explains the longtime ambition behind bringing himself into the animated world.

DJ Welch watches the animated stick figures place a call, then turns to Alan Becker: "There's no way you're answering that." For a series built on the boundary between an animator and his creations, a ringing smartphone is quite an invitation.

"The Dark Age - Animator vs. Animation 14 | AvG Reacts" was Animators VS Games' only upload this week, and it is approaching a million views. DJ and Alan watch Mitsi use digital drawing tools to free captured characters, Green provide a rescue, and a giant death spire drift across the landscape at a decidedly unhurried speed.

That last detail has become a running joke in the comments: viewers keep questioning the menacing tower's leisurely pursuit. Others focus on Mitsi taking charge and the stick figures welcoming her into their group.

The reaction also offers something beyond the jokes. Alan explains that bringing himself back into the characters' world was an idea he had wanted to realize for a long time, with roughly a year of work going into finishing it. Hearing the animator discuss that ambition gives the episode's crossover a little extra weight.

Across the channel, daily views are more than three times their usual level, while the subscriber count grew by about 10,000 over the week. Among nearby-sized animation channels, onca and Lugan3d Animations had particularly large viewing weeks. Here, The Dark Age is the busiest individual upload, followed by the older "Reacting To YOUR Animations | AvG Reacts" and "P1 And P2 Colors | Animation VERSUS (NEW)": the creator's world, its audience's versions and its playable offshoot all finding viewers together.

11:25 I think it’s adorable that they group hug Mitsi here. They don’t *really* know her or who she is, but she got their friend out safely, so that basically means they’re already friends.

i love that the Alan Avatar is still just standing behind the cannon, like he's not watching what his sticks and their friends are looking at.
