Jjaltoon (짤툰), or Jjaltoon Studio (짤툰스튜디오) is a South Korean-based animation studio, best known for comedic slice-of-life animations. Jjaltoon Studio is owned by Jjal Tae-sik (짤태식 Jjal Taesik).
All animations produced by Jjaltoon Studios are distributed by Big Picture Team, a multimedia company based in Seoul, South Korea.
As of 15 October, 2021, Jjaltoon Studio has about 1,47 million subscribers.

Why He's Amazing

  1. Their 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. Memorable characters with stable and frequent appearances, like Professor Roh Gong-man, Private Lim Min-sik, Phone Eun-jung, Uhm Jun-sik the Vet, Park Jung-hwan, Joo Jung-yeon, Chun-sik the Dog, etc.
  6. Jjaltoon's cover of Ren'ai Circulation and his first video, "Gukbap Addict", gained a cult following.
    • Furthermore, Jjaltoon even referenced his cover of Ren'ai Circulation in his animations.
  7. "Why the hell would you eat [blank]? If you were to eat gukbap, you should try a nice hot bowl of gukbap..."
  8. All of Jjaltoon's videos are mainly provided with subtitles in 5 different languages (Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese).
  9. Their webcomics are decent.
  10. Jjal Tae-sik single-handedly handles all the voice actings.
    • However, some female characters are voiced by Jjaltoon's voice actress Sung Hyun-hee.
  11. As of 15 April, 2021, Jjaltoon has 9 animated series:
    • Jjaltoon Original
    • Jjaltoon Premium
    • Jjaltoon's Three Kingdoms
    • Real Jjaltoon
    • Military Diary
    • The "Manly" Girl
    • Satan
    • Animal Friends
    • Chiktatoon
  12. Nice references to Korean memes, like "Muyaho"[1].

Bad Qualities

  1. All characters in older videos look the same, the only differences are the hairstyle and the clothes. Moreover, some characters SHARE the same voice.
  2. Frequent Korean profanity.
    • Jjaltoon Studio reduced the amount of curses later on.
  3. Some of their videos are really lame, and some are even mean-spirited.
  4. Ear rapes, especially when the characters are very angry.
  5. Excessive use of radial blur whenever a character screams.
  6. Subtitles aren't often proof-read (especially English), leading to unnoticeable grammatical errors.
    • 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.
    • The citations in the subtitles are helpful for most of the time. However, some are ridiculously redundant.
  7. The voice acting starts to become very mediocre in recent videos.[2]
