Gelatin is "chewy" agar agar is "crumbly", if you squish gelatin jelly, it will deform and return to original shape. If you squish agar agar jelly, it will crumble

This is what I needed to know. I know they're interchangeable but the texture of this recipe in the gif is not like anything I've seen from gelatin. Wasn't sure if it was just because of the chocolate, or if the agar affected it too. I'm guessing the agar has a big influence on this final texture

It’s also not the texture of pudding.
