The rough draft is almost finished. All that's left is 99.999% of the remaining work. How am I supposed to make this look neat? Is it even possible?

(snow moving. I'm happy.)

First time I try to do an animatic, I chosed to draw those kids, but something went wrong on Krita, Noelle vanished and Kris' is kinda happy. What the hell Kris.

FROM RIGHT TO LEFT.

I don't ship Kakashi and Guy, I'm just too hyped by the potential of "eternal men of destiny" and them spending their springtime of youth together.

*The alarm clock is ringing*

K : (Having to rest means I can take quick naps.)

K : (The kind that ends around 8PM.)

K : (Back to what I was doing...)

*loud hit against the window, a cat's standing behind the glass.*

K : (It fell. Must be ashamed of itself.)

K : (Forget my reaction and I'll forget your clumsiness.)

K : (No students anymore)

K : (No mission)

K : (Nothing to do)

G : Why didn't you tell me you are on leave?! AAAAHHH!!!

K : ...ah.

G : Hello rival!

G : Now give me a hand-

*Kakashi slam the window*

G : Hey!!

G : You know, most people stop at throwing others out of the winddow, without closing it.

K : Most people use doors.

K : (Fake snore)

G : I've heard you got two weeks off. And you only got one left! You should have told me, now we have a full week of challenges to make up for! So much wasted competitive potential!

K : I plan to keep waisting it.

G : You can't just leave your youth unused like that...! I'm taking what's left of it back on track -RIGHT NOW!

*Guy goes Pascal-le-Grand-Frère*

K : (There are limits to what should and shouldn't be weaponized.)

K : You can't be serious.

G : Or am I?

K : No you can't.

*Blanket used like a whip*

G : Come on!

K : Alright! Alright!

*Both eating the ground*

K to the dead blanket : Rest in peace, comerade.

G : Don't mourn it. I'll buy you another one...though maybe not if it leads you to sleep until noon. I was surprised to find you in bed.

K : I'm making proper use of the time off I have left.

K : Don't you have students to train by the way?

G : It's their day off, so I seized the opportunity to come at you!

K : Why?

G : To challenge you! Having students leaves me little time for myself, but I'll dedicate every remaining second to being fully engaged in our rivalry!

K : (That sounds exhausting.)

Anko : Alright! Don't you dare to blink! Go ahead-try it! Even think about it, you'll get hit and humiliated!

K to Guy : How could you convincer her to be part of OUR thing?

A : First, he didn't have to. Second-

*Hits him*

K : Why?!

A : I'll keep hitting you until you lift that headband off your eye!

K : classic arm wrestling, right ?

K : (Oh shit.)

G : 3, 2, 1...

*Sounds of breaking bones* Both : AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH-

(No winner.)

K : (That will do.)

K : Zzzzzzzzzz...

G : Kakashi ! Are you okay? You still haven't caught your breath-

G : Fuah! And now, breath-holding underwater contest!

G : GLRK-BLBL-BLUBBL

G : If you won't dive, be kind and don't drown me!

K : We've done enough for today.

G : Not yet. Evening's still young. Let's end the day without touching the ground!

Sellor : Is it too much to ask to buy things properly?!

G : Throw us two boxes sir, I'll catch them mid-air.

K : Guy, buy me the beef one.

Both : Thanks for the meal!

G : You lost on purpose, didn't you?

K : I let it slip, I was getting a bit tired.

G : It's okay to feel a bit drained sometimes.

K : Does that actually happen to you? That's surprising.

G : Oh, no. That's just what I've heard. I get enough sleep, I eat well... I'm never tired outside of missions.

K : Even with all that training you do?

G : Especially thanks to that.

G : I've got a good work life balance here. That allows me to exceed my limits without exhaustion.

K : ...ah.

G : Is something troubling you aside your blanket ?

K : What do you mean ?

G : Usually I can tell when you're free. I find you wandering around, visiting the graveyard at odd hours, or reading those books outside shamelessly. But now, you're not even pretending to be busy.

K : ...ah.

G : W-Well! You must be tired because you gave your all in your last mission! A very intense one, no doubt. Still, Lady Hokage didn't tell me why she granted you this much rest. You weren't badly injured, were you?

K : I'm fine. I'll be back on mission soon.

G : It's already set? With who?

K : Alone.

G : No one else available to back you up?

K : There is. But it will be easier this way.

G : For who?

K : *silent*

G : It's good you're getting back out on mission! Make sure you give it everything you've got. Don't let anything slip while you're out there.

G : I won't even count this win if you agree!

G : See you at 6 tomorrow!

K : (If it's not 6PM, I'll die next morning.)

K : (Finally some sleep.) ...

K : ...still can't.

I didn't realized those pages were waiting for this long to be done. I'm not consistent at all.

The most of it was all the jokes that were "too much" for french audience. In France, at the appearance of Gravity Falls, every cartoons were still seen as for kids only when the series showed up. (I think that's still the case when it's on TV nowadays, less on the internet, they did the same with Steven Universe with Garnet Song at the time). An unforgivable example : Stan's famous joke. "My ex-wife still misses me...but her aim is getting better! !" In french, the verb TO MISS / MANQUER works totally like in english : missing someone by sadness or missing someone while trying to hit that someone with something. The joke could have been tranlated like this : "Mon ex-femme me MANQUE sans arrêt, mais elle vise de mieux en mieux !". And in french, it's still funny with the double meaning. BUT !!! Stan being hit by his ex wife and joking about it would have been "too much" for french little kids, so they translated it with a lame joke that's not even funny at all. I think it's because it has a certain meaning of shooting with fire weapon. The thing is that the translation would have been easy to make, so I conclude they obviously avoided the real joke so the cartoon would be french-kids-friendly. Another funny thing : Bill is described as a demon in english, but in french, they tried their very best to avoid telling the devilish nature of Bill, which is stupid since we see the blood on the journal, the cultish moments... Each dialogue including him is softened and not as funny as it is in english, but the imagery's still here. I think the reason is the gap between how we see things in each country. France is a laïc country, meaning there's no religion attached/promoted and no religious symbolisim shown, so people often didn't know anything about the demon imagery USA have (handshake of the devils for example). But hey! That was before Netflix and series were watched legally on the internet by the majority. Plus, all the codes were just not possible to translate for the non english speaker audience because translators maybe thought that young kids wouldn't do the effort to try. (I did do the effort when I was a kid but I couldn't speak english so I gave up early.) They litterally thought that the audience would be too young for trying the codes ! They thought maybe the fans would be like under 8 years old, I don't know. ... In the end, it doesn't have the same mood/spirit, and it feels like it's been censored/softened for young kids. The french translation is still interesting/good (it led me to watch the english one), but it's not the same vibe at all in my opinion.
