The Animator

(1 month to 11 months)

New gen - current gen

(1 year to 2 years)

Current gen

(3 - 6 years)

Old Gen

(7 - 10 years)

Oldest Gen

I feel like since there has been more people joining this site, and the fact it had made it into 2026, I think this question is justifiable.

We are counting old accounts btw, and when I mean best, I mean 3 factors.

1. Current animation quality

2. Potential

3. Time to make a full animation (200 - 400 frames)

I'm leaving this with you lot to figure out.

is this animators from an era who are cracked right now or animators who were the most cracked during their era

@Bombarasclatt

the first one, though they have to be active still.

i feel like if basically any good artist locked in theyd be a cracked animator in their respective gen becuase theyve already got the visual side of things sorted out so its hard to find whos got the most potential

i take about a couple days to a week to make full animations most of the time so use that as a benchmark for oldest gens

Not to be self-centered, but I think I have a lot of potential in my gen

I'm even doing a series, so I think (at least in the current gen) I would be #1

I would probably be a good new gen

me

@PlanetAntMan

self glaze </3

@PlanetAntMan

if we talk about potential it definitely me

I LITERALLY SAID "not to be self-centered"

so no, you bum

But then the other two categories

me from unc gen

@PlanetAntMan

still self glaze </3

@christo

No… it’s not

Not me

@PlanetAntMan

ig bro 🥹

Eh I’m okay at animating but definitely not the greatest

I would say in the current generation either @TRAngA , @Bombarasclatt or @Burnincat take it

Gotta love how none of those people are current gen

@PlanetAntMan

Yep ig I didn’t notice that

Then I think unironically either @Tep or @so_cool_man take it

Maybe you and I being third and fourth but we excel at different stuff

Like I can’t animate interactions but I can animate fight scenes without stick figures

never ever me
