“IM IN UR MANGER KILLING UR SAVIOR” is hilarious animated short about three nerds who turn a nativity scene into a LARP battle. It was hand created over a year by Ben Levin and Matt Burnett of the animation studio For Tax Reasons.

DID they animate it? The end credits confused me. Is it re-animated footage of an existing animation (like is normally done with AMVs and such?) I'm thinking it's the latter, but every comment I've seen on this suggests the former.

They animated it and also their Youtube response to their own video.

They list the "Original Japanese Cast" and "Ronion Dojo High School DX" in the credits. Is that part of the joke? To make it look like it was crafted from anime? If so, it's a bit ultra-meta-arch.

Make no mistake, I love this vid. I'm just trying to figure out how it was made.

If you read through the youtube comments he says it was drawn by hand scanned and colored in photoshop and finished in adobe after effects.

I'm pretty sure the Japanese credits are just a gag.
