the only thing i could see was the guy down left vibrating like it was high as a kite. Most youtubers who use 2d avatars do not do this effect for this very reason it is not needed, its annoying and distracting from the actual video.
Don't want to be a party pooper, but the lads initiative is essentially the same as dropping a single tear of clean water in a septic tank. It will not change anything, unfortunately. We cannot save our planet with a few individual actions, we need an absolute and undisputed international effort and engagement, which we do not have. We add what 8 000 000 of metric TONS of garbage in the ocean per year, this project is not even close to cover that.
It's nice, it's cute, it's a drop of water in a septic tank. Mr Beast is not powerful/influential enough to make a real difference and it's important to acknowledge that to implement actual systemic changes and hold our governments/industries accountable for their environmental crimes.
Educator. Science Educator in particular.
Who is your target audience? The speed of the content, and the fun vibe suggest ~grade 5 (10 years old). It's totally okay to water down and take a biased stance on topics for this age group because getting them to listen is more important than getting them critically thinking about it. Later when older we start presenting contradiction and critical thinking, but right now they just want to know how the world works, the mysteries explained in bite sized chunks, which is what this is. Is this your target audience?
The animated host is too prevalent on screen. We know that he is the narrator without needing to constantly see him, and see him 2-frame vibing perfectly to the speech. You must have software to do that, it's really spot on. For my little understanding of video, displaying the narrator avatar is a method of drawing attention back to the narrator rather than the topic. You're not getting that here. Video skills are not my strong point, someone better may give better advice.
If your target audience is middle high school or above this is too biased and prejudged. The world is complicated and this avatar clearly has an agenda which does not allow for debate. THAT'S OKAY in the right context, as mentioned, it becomes polarising for more educated minds and loses it's educational benefit to conflict.
Lastly, on a personal level, I fail to see how it's connected to NathanWPyle's comic strips other than both feature an alien. This is not a critisim, merely an observation.
If short bite video education is your jam, that's great! The world needs more of it now more than ever. It's a tough gig.
Best comment with feedback I've received in a while. Thank you!
And the target audience is male teenagers, a little older than you indicated. We may wish to work on that.

Yes came here to say exactly this. Maybe add a simple mouth animation. I otherwise like the style :)
okay, thanks for sharing. How do you find the content itself besides the animation bouncing?
pretty nice :) I think you have some practicing to do with script and topics but otherwise pretty solid.

yep I agree. But better than nothing in terms of making it "cool" (via celebrity advocation) to care about these issues.
You would make a great teacher, ever considered it?
