you were right until you said that about the models quality, sorry my dude but nagoo and bulgings are the only animators out there whose models are 1:1 with the original game, its ok to have ZMSFM as favorite but deny they are vastly superior is a massive saltyness, TheCount is another one who is almost there with them in terms of quality, and yes the animation runtime is also part of the quality, considering that none of the ZMSFM long animations have this level of quality

ZMSFM isn't a favorite. I like some of the animations they put out and I keep tabs on their work. To name a couple of my favorites; Hydra, Ellowas, and Yeero come to mind immediately. Howlsfm almost has me in a vice grip to throw him into those immediate thoughts as well. Others like Nagoo, gurobase, VG, FPS, Sage, bulgings, etc. come as afterthoughts, but welcome ones no doubt since my favorites are nonexistent/off the grid a decent amount of the time. What I like about ZMSFM that has me in defense of him: his consistency (as mentioned), his integrity (as mentioned), his communication with all of his community (not mentioned I don't think); and his quality despite being at a disadvantage (as mentioned). What was stated, using canon body models ("1:1") is also something ZMSFM seems to do. Also, plenty of others that don't modify body models heavily and use 1:1 of their game's origin, but they are more kink-heavy and I don't add them to my favorites very often since they are so *specialized*. Nagoo is a great animator, but in a thread about ZMSFM, it only makes to defend the man considering how many positives he has going for himself. I don't defend Nagoo admittedly in the Nagoo thread because I dislike pbv atm, but I hold him in high regard for his quality and consistency in quality across the board.
