I don't think a lot of you understand the pressure and devotion it takes to start and completely animate a series.
When he started, like all sprite animators he must of have thought MY GOD THIS WOULD BE SOO COOL
and went with it. At a young age you've got shit to do, and animating your favorite characters beat each other to death is simply the best feeling ever.
But as you grow up and hold responsibilities in your life, get a girlfriend, find new interests, college (oh god this one the most) your once called hobby becomes less and less exciting especially if you aren't animating to major on it for the future. You get lazy and un-inspired and it's tough to continue.
Not to mention he has thousands of fans hounding him, forcing him to finish, a shit ton of people copied his style and decompiled his work, (meaning stole his sprite edits, sounds, effects etc.) and again that really bust someones balls.
I completely respect his decision to stop, I knew it wasn't going to be finished. 20 minute animations takes months, especially how annoying it is to have to compress it for the NG size limit. Most of the people are angry at him for it, but if you really were interested in his storyline it wasn't that hard to think of yourself. Again, I have much respect for Alvin.
