I love the subject but Red, you already talk pretty fast (which is usually fine with me) but even I couldn’t understand what was going on. I’ll probably play it back at like .75 or .5 speed.

I love this :D Just one thing: Pandava is pronounced pāṇḍava (original पाण्डव) and Himalaya is pronounced himālaya (original हिमालय) ;)

to quote the men of Sparta, "If" :)

I feel this is great fun to watch and to read while its racing across the screen.

I love it, but I would also love a long form video for Mahabarata or Ramayana

i didn't think you'd be able to do justice to the text, i was wrong.

I loves it. Thank you for the experiment.

If it takes roughly the same amount of time to write, record and draw the episode for 1 minute as it is for the same content in 2-3 minutes, I would prefer the longer version. Sure, brevity is the soul of wit, but it is a little hard to understand all of it so fast, and your voice loses a lot of expressiveness when there is no time to pause or inflect because either of those things causes you to slow down.

AMAZING.

I wish it were more like Journey to the West series or atleast to the length of Iliad and Odyssey.. 1 min? Unfair! :( It was good job and summarizing in one minute impressive but just wish it were more than that..

That was great!

I like it, it's entertaining, but I hope this doesn't signify a shift away from long-form essays. I enjoy the in-depth analysis that a more generous time slot allows for. That said, this was fun. What if you did these as companion pieces, like a sparknotes version of a full-length main feature? I know, I know, more work, just a thought.
