I really enjoyed this deep dive into Downtown! Your interview with Chris Prynoski was fascinating, mainly focusing on capturing authentic '90s New York life. I loved learning about the creative process behind such a unique and iconic series. Brilliant as ever.

i have always loved animation and finally with the leaps in technology am starting to create some on my own. AO’s knowledge base and pointers really have been inspiration to me. AO has helped me to know some animation giants and heroes and to see whats possible. i want to give you a very sincere Thank You!

God, Downtown is a sick show, its so upsetting that it got canceled. Have you reviewed Daria?

We haven't yet, actually! It's one we've only really discovered in recent times and still need to watch more of.

It's a really interesting show! Definitely worth a look if you're into that era and style of animation.

I just finished watching Downtown, so this interview comes as a perfect coincidence! I think you should cover Mission Hill sometime.

We were happy to do it -- we never had the chance to meet her ourselves, but she sounds like she was a really, really cool person.
