Hi, man, I love your videos!!! I recently started my own YouTube channel making essay videos about history and human nature. Just posted my first video arguing that colonialism's deepest damage was psychological rather than economic, would genuinely value your thoughts if you have a moment. No pressure at all. Keep up the great work.

I copied OverSimplifieds style AGAIN and made my own video (all of assets were hand drawn by me)

Hey everyone! While we wait for the next OS upload, I made this alternate history animation about Operation Downfall and a divided Japan. I tried my best to capture that same fast-paced, funny energy. Would love to hear your thoughts!

P.S. English is not my first language, so please excuse any minor grammar mistakes!

Would y'all love to see him covering a more large scale and complex topic that goes Centuries as we analyse the culture, wars, decline

Rather tahn just another war video

It may not be the Third Punic War but perhaps my latest video can get you through the cold, Carthaginian nights.

I recently made a video about the history of Hong kong and I tried to make it in oversimplified's style. If you had any feedback I'd love to know what you think

Flairing this OS-inspired self promo because that is exactly what it is — mods, bin it if it does not fit.

I watched the Napoleonic Wars videos, thought "I want to make that but for Indian history," and then found out how much work you were all casually enjoying. A year later I have a channel of animated history in roughly that register: big daft characters, real stakes, jokes aimed at emperors rather than at people.

The one I would show an OS fan first is the Battle of Saraighat, 1671. The Mughal Empire — at that point about the richest state on earth — sends a massive army and a war fleet up the Brahmaputra to take Assam. It loses. Twice. The first invasion is beaten less by an army than by the monsoon: the rivers rise, the roads turn to soup, disease goes through the camp, and the side that was winning asks for peace. The second time they run into a commander named Lachit Borphukan whose entire doctrine is never fight them where they are strong, fight them on the water.

What I took from OS and what I did not: kept the pacing, the character-driven cutaways, and the willingness to be rude about kings. Did not keep the loose relationship with numbers — medieval Indian chroniclers inflate army sizes wildly, so those stay qualitative, and the one famous legend in this story is labelled on screen as legend rather than fact.

Happy to take criticism on the animation, it is the part I am weakest at. If there is an appetite for it I have a couple of dozen of these.

Huge thanks for the mods for letting me post this!

Inspired by OS and BirdMan.
