I'm 90% sure that animation cell is from Macross Plus. Can confirm, it's Myung Fang Lone from Macross Plus. ~20:13 of Episode 1. She's looking out the window of a taxi, hence the crop.

Their VFX/Stunt/etc) React Series they started was an insane leap for their channel and doubled if not more their sub count nearly overnight, so to speak. I mean they had a decent amount of subs to begin with but video views were slowly dropping over the years. Ive been a big fan since the ole days of them making vids with Freddy Wong and Brandon before Freddy left to do rocket punch and Brandon entering game developing in the studio next door. Their studio and work has deserved this recognition for a long time and its crazy how a react style format of content was what finally brought in a ton of subs, views, and sponsors for their business. Their channel growth from that had to have been some record for Views/Subs gained in X amount of time. We know they do a lot less VFX oriented and Film making content like the old days (which is sad), but we know their still Filmmakers at heart and always will be. Once Sam and Niko made a few films, did the Battlefield Series, and got to Direct that Big budget Show a few years ago, I for sure thought they were going to get a foot in the door in Hollywood and become these great up and coming Directors with massive talent and potential that these larger production houses would want to pick up and give them a chance. But, things work in weird ways. I really wanted them to take their film making to that next level and get funding for an Indie Film/s or another Show series and not just KZread Shorts and React Videos, but they struck gold with their react series and that bought in money like never before and allowed them to expand so fast. its also harder now to take chances and experiment when you have a much bigger crew to pay, a studio space, equipment, families, etc). But, I'm still hoping Sam or Niko will set aside some time/money and get back into serious full length film making or a show. Theyre so talented as well as their team of editors and VFX artists. They can do so much with so little compared that it speaks to the whole teams talents.

I'm worried about what the next natural step of the "garbage for christmas" joke is gonna be after this time as always, these are my favorite crew vids of the year. massive happy vibes

crazy how i practically grew up watching Node and Corridor all throughout middle school and high school, to see how far you guys have come is such a blessing to witness first hand. Its one of the rare moments when I watch something I truly love and don’t have to ask “I wonder how this started, what were they like in the beginning?” because i witnessed it, and i’m truly blessed to have done so. Guys, Niko, Sam, Wren, D, Jake, Nick, Brandon, and everyone else, I have so much love for you all that I cannot express through a comment section on youtube. You were my friends away from friends growing up, and now that I’m grown and have a career of my own, I can truly appreciate everything you’ve built and stand for. Congratulations on all your progress, and I wish all of you a very merry Christmas, and can’t wait to see what you guys have in store next year. Cheers 🍻

What an incredible family. Nats always iconic "I met Adam Savage and he blew my horn."

Seeing the team and the way you treat each other is truly inspiring. Now onto the node smash tournament!! 🤘

I love how they went through everyone, not just the main crew we see every week. Great video, smiled the whole time. 🙂

Probably one of the best videos...every team lead/manager/founder should have you guys as example. Niko/Sam you guys have done such a great job..it's so inspirational to see how you treat your people as family. Very wholesome, it inspires me to be a better lead to my team. Its so great to see how even people with no relation to VFX are drawn to your content. I work in a Fintech and still won't miss a single video you make. Congraz on everything you have achieved so far and wish the next year will be even better. Merry Christmas to you all :)

Because almost all of them are so wonderfully animated through the whole episode, with just a few iffy bits.
