Why He's Amazing

 * 1) His animations (recent ones) are very skillfully amazing, nicely-done. They comprise fluid movements, detailed backgrounds and a variety of characters.
 * 2) Creative, diverse and innovative storytelling.
 * 3) Awkwardly hilarious moments and surprising plot twists.
 * 4) Many of his animations often cover situations in which the characters have to deal with, other times they satirize some aspects of South Korean society and lifestyle.
 * 5) Many characters often have stable appearances and remarkable personalities of their own. For example:
 * 6) * Professor Noh Gong-man (노공만) is a professor at Naksung National University. He is comically portrayed as a old man who has "love interest" in Nadeko Sengoku (a character in Bakemonogatari). He puts on himself a facade of anti-Japanese sentiment, but in reality, he's just a stereotypical otaku. He's capable of speaking Japanese.
 * 7) * Jjaltoon himself. He has appeared in many of his animations as an in-universe character. In the Jjaltoon lore, he's portrayed as a almost-bald guy wearing a green T-shirt with a yellow strand of hair and a high-pitched voice. He's referred to as the "Creator of Jjaltoon" and Yoo Soo-min in Jjaltoon's new series, Animal Friends.
 * 8) * Satan - the newest character in the Jjaltoon lore. Loosely based on the biblical figure, Satan is comically depicted as a hot-blooded, impatient and unlucky devil who travelled to Earth to corrupt humans with sins, but miserably failed..
 * 9) Jjaltoon's cover of Renai Circulation and his first video, "Gukbap Addict" Nevertheless, they still reflect the plot of the videos., gained a cult following.
 * 10) * Furthermore, Jjaltoon even referenced his cover of Renai Circulation in his animations.
 * 11) "Why the hell would you eat (blank) if you were to eat gukbap, you should try a nice hot bowl of gukbap..."
 * 12) All of his videos are mainly provided with subtitles in 5 different languages (Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese). Some have Burmese and Mongolian subtitles.
 * 13) Jjaltoon earned a YouTube Silver Button. That's a friggin' record, as by that time, he had released 5 videos and had joined YouTube for a few months.
 * 14) His webcomics are decent.
 * 15) He single-handedly handles all the voice actings.
 * 16) * However, some of his recent videos show that a few female characters are actually voiced by actual female VA.
 * 17) The "Romance of the Jjal Kingdoms" (짤국지 Jjalgukji) series rocks, because:
 * 18) * WHA #1, #2, #3 and #4.
 * 19) * It makes Romance of the Three Kingdoms more interesting.
 * 20) * The characters are decent, especially Master Kongming (Zhuge Liang), Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and most recently, Cao Cao.
 * 21) As of 19 October, 2020, Jjaltoon has released 3 new animated series:
 * 22) *  Animal Friends: A series about a young student named Yoo Soo-min (유수민) and his mischievous anthropomorphic pets.
 * 23) *  Satan: A series about Satan, as he struggles to live and work on Earth.
 * 24) *  Jjaltoon Premium: As the title suggests, this series incorporates much darker, more serious plot and less comedy. Jjaltoon Premium tends to focus on stories based on real events and current affairs.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) All characters look the same, the only differences are the hairstyle and the clothes. Moreover, some characters SHARE the same voice.
 * 2) Frequent Korean curses like "아니 새끼가 진짜" (you son of a b****), "이 새끼" (you b****), "야이 씨발럼아" (Hey! You f***!),...
 * 3) * Jjaltoon reduced the amount of curses later on.
 * 4) Some of his videos are really lame, and some are even mean-spirited.
 * 5) Latest episodes of "Romance of the Jjal Kingdoms" have received the lowest ratings, according to Jjaltoon.
 * 6) Ear rapes, especially when the characters are very angry.
 * 7) Excessive use of radial blur whenever a character screams.
 * 8) Subtitles aren't often proof-read (especially English), leading to unnoticeable grammatical errors.
 * 9) * To top it off, the translations, despite fitting the context, are pretty weird. It feels like somebody coined new terms and just slapped them on the subtitles.
 * 10) * The citations in the subtitles are helpful for most of the time. However, some are ridiculously redundant.
