This was 1 of the 3 videos flagged as "adults only" on PhantomStrider's channels. Strider has, over the years, tried to minimize its publicity under the concern that younger viewers may disregard the "adults only" label. Strider believes the excessive gore, nudity, and shock scenes in this video is no longer in the spirit of his channel.
Strider stopped making videos for 3 months after making this. He considers this among the 3 most exhausting videos he has ever made due to reviewing the constant ugly, disturbing, horrific animated footage. His other 2 most exhausting videos to make was Worst Family Guy Episodes and Worst Cartoons of All Time.
