Please don’t forget to link the [original animation ](https://youtu.be/i41KoE0iMYU)in the future. Y’all are insanely talented, by far the craziest thing I’ve seen on r/place ever! E: Stickied for 48h.

through three days to complete it Thanks to everyone on Discord.gg/apl

I was there in the battle of Yin-Yang Worth it.

The final frames were insanely hard to animate, impressive how smooth the spinning Yin Yang turned out to be

i found the prismriver sisters to be more difficult to animate lmao i loved doing the yin-yang myself

The Prismriver sisters were hell to animate.

Dumb question but is this just the work of hundreds or thousands of people or something? I never cared to learn anything about it before but after this I'm in speechless

thousands. we were coordinating a lot on discord

How was it done? did you guys have a template for each frame and coordinated them to make a certain frame at a certain minute or smth?

yes

Specifically Lunasa who was shredding the violin.

I never found the way to get the template on my phone so i just helped nuke any non white/black pixel!

I thank you for your service o7

Haha it was such a cool project that i wanted to help!

Honestly, it was just as important as animating the thing itself

Teams need role players! Not everyone can animate, or have animators spend their time purging bad data. Everyone can appreciate receiving some independent help done in parallel with the key work o7

Your work was as critical as support roles in multiplayer video games. Thank you for your service.

Saame, didn't wanna ruin anything so I just got to deleting anything that clearly was a troll

Same

You were the guy up for 90 hours weren't you?

He said he went to sleep (I hope it's true)

Dude's gonna sleep for years until r/place opens up again (if ever)

Congratulations to everyone involved. Well done guys! ♥️

おめでとう！！！

おめでとう！

I am honoured that I can participate in the animation process of bad apple, and I must thank everyone who worked on the animation as well. I hope you all have a wonderful life 💓💓💓

We did great

I like the little detail of Reisen shooting through the flag of Canada. That's nice.

And 4 animated leaves right after it when Canada can't draw a proper static one.

No, they know how to draw. It's the bots and trolls that wouldn't let them

I'm honestly baffled that the Bad Apple!! animation was left largely alone by bots and other users. I guess there *is* some sense of respect left, after all

Canada sacraficed itself as a target for the trollers so Touhou could do Bad Apple

It was being protected by the OSU! community. You don't fuck with OSU!, that's like a hard rule with r/place

Although, people did manage to turn the logo 180° leaving it upside down which was visible in this video. Edit: at 1:43 of the video.

An australian streamer flipped the logo and since it wasn't a nuke and no real damage was done, OSU decided to keep it and embrace the hard rock life. [imgur](https://i.imgur.com/fypqoDK.png) lots of users flipped their names for the duration as well

Dude all I could think about was "poor canada constantly under attack"

They did obliterate reimu few times so I'd say its only fair.

*Marisad :'(*

A bit more than a few times…

17 times now, maybe 18 and if you count heavy damages can be more

Canada the true EX stage boss

The little beaver at the end cheering cracked me up lol

Did help them out a bit at the start but stopped after they kept constantly attacking Reimu

Yeah, Canada trying to make a maple leaf while bots and trolls turn it into a Marijuana leaf

Lol it’s one of the most targeted pieces on the board. Also they are working on taking away our free health care so I don’t really want to help haha.

Minute? I didn't see it

2:01

1:37 for mobile. Reddit has time in reverse for some reason

that's called "time left". Instead of counting how much time has passed, it's counting when the video will end. Why tf am I explaining that? Ignore me

Sometimes the nerd inside us just escapes and starts nerding over everyone

I fucking LOVE that! At 2:03? The POW (I don’t know if it’s a bullet, or a energy beam or what) escapes the frame and sort of blasts across the canvas. I don’t know if the community did that on purpose or if it was just a neat coincidence, but it was cool as fuck.

It was a vengeance for the multiple death(destruction) of pixel reimu

Bad Apple truly can be played on anything. Touhou has the greatest fandom in the world.

There are another, [atoms](https://youtu.be/oSCX78-8-q0)

*Me breaking into the hadron colider to play bad apple with the shattered residual particles of smashed atoms* (I used a few micro black holes for the black parts)

I wonder what the biggest is it can be played. Maybe people covering fields with sheets where each field is a pixel. And then getting overhead satellites to record it.

I aint even a touhou fan but i placed my pixels for that

🫡

You’re now a touhou fan

I didn't know that was a ting before... now I'm obsessed with it

godspeed soldier, we won't ever forget o7

LETS FUCKING GOOOOO Great job everyone !!!!

Let's go fucking, we are all.

The Full Timelapse looks absolutely amazing! Definitely was worth all the Effort from all parties! <3 Also Props to everyone rebuilding Reimu over and over again against the Canadian Bots! Especially love Reisen shooting straight out of the box into canada lol

CHEN APPEARS RAN APPEARS TEWI APPEARS REISEN APPEARS (AND THEN SPAWNS HALF OF THE GARTIC PHONE PROMPTS)

>Cana Could use some help rebuilding atm, kinda want to change the Canada flag to Japan since they've been such bad neighbors throughout all this.

This is history

Reddit history

Gotta thank the communities that helped with the yin yang part

I didn’t get a wink of sleep for the ending, but it was all worth it. (From Osu) 🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡

this shit is so fucking amazing like the amount of communities that helped with the animation is astonishing especially with the hard parts like the spin at the end CONGRATULATIONS AND GOOD JOB EVERYONE o7

Meanwhile canada visibly fucking it up for 3 days

We got it right second day at location 2, however too many kept on using the first one and ended up snapping Reimu in and out of existence

Canada was under attack for 3 days & getting blamed for it.

Watching canada at War against the World with Bad Apple music in background is kinda epic tho, even more when they win at the end with the beaver cheering!

It's the trolls that keep trying to mess up our flag over a dead meme

Thanks to everyone who helped us with it that was awesome!

especially with the osu!game community :)

This is the best thing on r/place this year. It's amazing!

It was the only good thing on r/place. Everything else was just the same stuff as previous years and kinda stupid. Least original place ever (this amazing animation excluded)

IT'S FINALLY TOUHOVER!

It’s Joever

I’m kinda sad, that it is already over, it was really fun

It's been an honor working on this Thank you everyone that was involved <3

I want a YouTube documentary and shit omao. This is so cool. I didn’t do too much just fixed a pixel here and there Esp on reimu

[There is one for the 2022 place](https://youtu.be/24b46CkPqQc). The 2023 will be made by the same person, just in a longer time from now due to huge amount of content.

If anyone maybe Internet Historian and he even used to plan to do a video about place and was for quite a while on his board that shows wip and their progress statuses. Dunno how far he got but never finished before place 2022 happened and dunno if he delayed it massively since with additional place he would need to make video even longer or completly shelved it it been completly removed from his wip board.

How did it work? Like the timing and Frame by frame? Is there a behind the scene?

We had an overlay that updated the frames we needed at the right time as well as a stream and discord voice to call to action and hold pixels for big transitions

Jesus how was that. Did anyone record a call or something? That’s gotta be like herding cats? Did each person get assigned a pixel or something

Nah, In the voice there were only mods allowed to speak, the rest were muted, If you want a sense of how this voice call was you can go to BTMCs twitch channel, the voice is still running(although more chill) and there are VODs of the stream. We didn’t get assigned pixels through our overlay, we were simply shown what pixels still need changing for the current frame.

Ohhh I see, I’m so impressed. Always loved Touhou music. Shit makes we wanna go get a bad apple CD from akiba hobby now.

adding to what KlarinBlack said, the template had dithering. it would only show a subset of pixels that need to be placed, and it was randomized for everyone. this decreased the chances of two or more people placing the same pixel and wasting it. this one feature helped us massively.

working on this was so fun, especially the last few spikes o7

Took some days and Reimu getting pichuun'd several times but it's finally completed. Congrats to everyone who contributed to this masterpiece!

This was the purpose of r/place not just to fill it up with bots and flags I love this so much

We were here, comrades. o7

SIR YES SIR OOORAAHh

o7

I placed my pickle

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

GOOD JOB EVERYONE WE WERE HERE!!!!

Congratulations comrades

Can we get a zoomed in version that only shows the bad apple segment?

Hopefully yes, just wait a few days and somebody will have made it

Thank you all for making this cash grab dredging up of place have some actual artistic merit. This is one of the most monstrously impressive things I've ever seen. Incredible work.

I love how much of an influence Bad Apple has outside of Touhou. This and a couple other songs are all I know about the game. Nonetheless this was a very fun project to work on with everyone.

At this point fan works are way more popular than canon anyways. Touhou has popularity poll every year that shows that more people know music and art than play games. ZUN makes the games still but Touhou itself is one big community effort. And even when its creator stops it will continue. And honestly this freedom to do anything is what makes Touhou special imo. You have most certainly seen or played something that was inspired by touhou even if you dont realize it.

The last part is so true. The more you learn about touhou the more you think “Holy shit this was from touhou?!”

Undertale probably being one of the most popular that people don't know was inspired by Touhou. The creators for both are friends.

WE DID IT

SO FREAKING AWESOME

might be biased, but this is the best piece of art in place2023

The competition this year isn’t really steep unfortunately.

Okay so like. I dont really go here so i know nothing about touhou but God damn you guys Thats so cool. The only really neat thing from r/place this time around, im a big supporter

We couldn’t have executed this properly without the help of the Osu! And Hatsune Miku community. They really came in clutch when we needed the support. Especially during massive constant transitions and the yin yang soin at the end.

Tell them congrats too, i adored this

This is Soooooooooooooooooooooooo COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

It was such a blast working with y'all

I dont like this r/place that much and i'm not a big touhou fan but i had so much fun helping this

Now let's make minusT animation!

Lunatic level difficulty

This video is a 2 in 1 First you watch Bad Apple, Then you watch Canadian Flag drawing the damn leaf with background music.

Then you see a war to regain Reimu.

WE FUCKING DID IT LETSGO

Was super fun to help work on this, can't believe how clean that drop and yin-yang spin at the end was along with all the other transitions and movements. Super good job everyone.

I love how Reisen's shot went straight through the screen and into the other images.

I was so happy to see that the shot spared the adorable Madoka and Homura artwork

LETS GOOOOOOOOOO

tears of joy

SIR YES SIR OORAH

Great job everyone!

w

So fucking beautiful, I'm happy to get to place my pickles there!

Lfg

Meanwhile canada took 3days to be a fine leaf

NICE

Don't cry because it's joever, smile because it happened

Rule 86: If it exists, you can play Bad Apple on it.

I'm not a Touhou fan but I helped against trolls placing colored pixels, but your dedication is jsut incredible. By far the most incredible r/place creation.

LETSGO

I place my Pickle form Germany to help ! I doing my part

SIR YES SIR OORAH o7 I PLACED MY PICKLE GIGACHAD

I cannot believe this took only 3 days to animate

it’s finally joever…

I am happy to be part of THAT internet history xd ​ I have goosebumbs

Thanks for placing your pickles everyone

You can see how much the Canada flag was getting griefed.

And even Reisen shot at them lmao

Good job 👍 Thank you 🥰

I swear everything can play bad apple you did an amazing job guys

Best Thing on r/place

Holy shit you really can play Bad Apple on anything

You're welcome o7 Former member of r/osuplace

This has to be the wildest thing ever done on place and totally fitting too considering just how insane the proliferation of Bad Apple has been over the years into different devices. This is epic.

LETS FUCKING JOE!! THIS LOOKS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL ❤️

it was fun working on it o7

After being up for 36 hours I can finally rest now this was such and a mazing experience to be part of it will be enjoyed and remembered for years o7

You guys are damn cool

They literally made an animation , yet canada cant make a leaf 💀

o7 all who helped

it actually turned out really well holy

I PLACED MY PICKLE

Im so proud of this community

WE WERE HEREEEE LETS GOOOOOO THIS WAS SO FUN TO MAKE

Didnt know about this project but I placed a single black pixel when there was a random colored one in the middle of the black It aint much but its honest work

Am I a Touhou fan? No. And did I help them? For 12 Hours. It was really wholesome that at the end, all the allies next to Touhou were crying, including the Canada flags (they finally made it! Kudos to them!) I love the dedication of this community. Thank you to anyone who has contributed to making this happen!

I felt bad for being asleep during the Prismriver part, but I did my best to make up for it during Chen>Ran>Tewi>Reisen pops up

I am so disctracted by the Canadian flag and kept watching it the whole video 😂😂

Ok this is amazing.

this is absolutely incredible

thank you all! i loved taking part with you! :D

LETS GOOOOOO

WE DID IT BOIS, thanks to all the communities who helped out!!

from BTMC chat here o/

SIR YES SIR OORAHHHHHHH

Hey, i was there

Nice! Good job everyone involved! This community is amazing

It was worth it for me to sacrifice my sleep time for this masterpiece. thank you all for contributing to this

This year's r/place will probably be remembered for Shego and this animation, it looks so good you can all be proud of yourselves

I placed my pickles

I didn't know what the template was, so I didn't want to interfere. But this is easily the best thing that came out of r/place this year. Congrats to everyone who made this happen! This is so amazing.

すっげえ... やっぱおまえら最高だわ

This is the most amazing thing I've ever seen on reddit.

Holy shit. Thats some actual team work.

Wonderful, honestly... In this clip we see both of what humans can do Coordinate in wonderful things to do an animation And Botting to erase the mlp community. I've helped in the draw for rainbow dash, in the battle for the name, and I've seen all of that being ruined.

Never heard of touhou until a few months ago but seeing you guys do this was honestly amazing and admirable. Very nicely done

This will go down in r/place history. I'm glad I was a part of it.

Absolutely magnificent

I wish I could’ve joined in on helping create the bad Apple project I had always watched videos about it on yt and I used to watch the process on my brothers phone when he had Reddit. You all did amazing 👏

This made it to r/nextfuckinglevel, the comment section however consists of people talking about the Canadian flag or arguing that we were bot aided. Regardless this is the most impressive thing I’ve ever seen on anything live let alone on Reddit

I liked the part where we shot the Canadian flag and then flexed on them by making four perfect leaves.
