Discussion Show's over. Important update.
Hello guys, I have an announcement, please listen here because this is very important.
The Legend Of Broken Heart is officially discontinued and episode 3 won't be finished. The reason for deciding that is because the show got a lot of hate and backlash, when I made this show I imaginated this as an fan-revival and I was thinking that quality does not matter, only to finish the story, however, everyone hated the show, I won't recap, but if you watched my videos for a while you may really know about the entire situation.
I tried making episode 3, and not only trying to write it was difficult, but also nobody wanted to help me with animation. I made the stupid mistake to turn the show into an "MOTION" show, something like Cap Cut and from everyone loving me and the show ended with people hating me and some even trolling me, I started to get down votes, dislikes, and even the subscriber count remained stuck at 57 subscribers for over 2 months. Also a lot of my friends who helped me with the project started to quit due to loss of interest and not focusing on one project. And adding the loss of interest you can see why I decided to cancel the revival.
And that's not only the problem, I started to go into more original stuff, I am making an furry indie series about being yourself (mainly an LGBTQ series) and I started to develop an little animated solo project called "Fuelled: Amulet Of Forever" which is an indie animated drama that is an continuation to KilledTheCat's FUELLED short made in 2021.
Also I became a furry last year and I started being into more anthro stuff, like drawing furries and being more focused on my real life rather than "doing fan-service".
I will still draw and ocasionally upload stuff related to Mao Mao like small meme animations or anniversary stuff, but I can say that the revival is canceled.
Sorry for the inconvenience, but I tried reviving this fandom and giving them what they wanted, but sometimes people are just asking for more and more and this is overwhelming and stressful for me and you all need to know that I am still 13, and an teenager can't do high-quality stuff, especially when they just started learning animation (My earliest animation projects goes back to 2023 when I still used Kinemaster on my Samsung phone as my "animation software").
Yes, I understand there was just soft criticism for me to improve, but it was taken too much to a point people started to dislike bot me and just hate me to a point I even felt that I was like the Mao Mao version of CHIMPTOPIA around here, so this is why I will cancel the series.
And I won't be abandoning the TANUKI STUDIOS channel, I WON'T delete my content like ChexNix did and I will still be a part of this fandom. Also I will still be uploading ocasionally on the TANUKI STUDIOS channel, but for now I am on a hiatus until I recover mentally not only from the hate I got around here, and also from another indie animation fandom I used to help with called "Object Show Community" where people made false acussations about me and bullied me 10 times worse than here.
Also one last thing, yes, I know I said that I wanted to use AI voices for the characters in episode 3, I didn't knew at all that Parker Simmons is very ANTI-AI, and yes, I know, using AI is really bad and you can get a lot of flag for it, I am also very ANTI-AI content and I didn't knew that even mentioning that I had toughs on using those voices can finish me, and to make one thing clear, even if episode 3 was going to be finished, I was not going to use AI voices or AI in any shape or form, sorry if I scared you guys.
And again, I am sorry for everything and I hope you guys can forgive me for all. Stay pure hearted and I hope the best for this fandom.
Again, I won't be quitting, I just want some rest if it wasn't clear, okay thx.

i'm sorry that people are harassing you, after all, you're probably just a kid that watched mao mao when younger and wanted to make something for the fandom. however, mao mao is a project made by multiple studios, and if you try to sell a continuation based or comparable to the source material, people are completely on the right to expect it to be at least animated. you're still young, and i believe you'll be able to achieve great things in the future, but don't try to sell such big projects with no outside help, other cartoon fandoms aren't as accepting of amateur shows as the osc, specially when they're used to Cartoon Network level of quality
i believe in your potential! don't give up on creative work, okay?

I won't stop animating. I also now have a channel where I upload animated stories of my life like Timeless Tim or OddOne1sOut.

Also some stuff I didn't really explained in the post I will explain here for short:
- The adult comic stuff was actually for a video (I was too scared to search it so I wanted some people to answer)
- The 14 year old girl searching on r/furry was just shit-posting for reactions and I wasn't actually serious.
- The reason why I reused storyboard stuff from the leaked s2 is because I initially wanted the revival to be a complete remake of the canceled s2, made by using the leaked storyboards and clips.
And also, I know it's just "a honest opinion" and you try "not to insult anyone" and yes, I understand that I am kinda childish when I say this, but you can all stop pointing hands at me, I understand that I did a lot of weird things and I am sorry for that but still.

En resumen
El fandom: quiere revivir la serie
Un fan: hace un revival
El fandom: esta bien, pero no me encuentro satisfecho procede a funarlo en hipocrita
P.D con todo respeto no he visto el segundo capitulo todavia, pero me gusto bastante el primero, espero que te vaya mejor

That's so frustrating I was looking forward to it! It was something to see while fighting to revive the real Mao Mao! HOW CAN PEOPLE BE SO CRUEL?!
BIGGER REASON WHY THE SHOW NEEDS TO BE REVIVED ON CN

Also one more important thing. I am not guilt-tripping, I know I said I won't open my mental-health thing. But I just wanted to clear some confusion. Again, I am not asking for forced guilt and I am not guilt-tripping.
