TL;DR:

Alina and Dima talk about good and bad animation, different animation techniques, scripts, voice acting and other educational stuff. [Nothing related to Metal Family] 

Alina said the bad art quality of the first half of season 1 was deliberate. They weren't sure people were gonna like the project, so they prioritized time over quality, using a very loose, sketchy style to finish the episodes as fast as possible.

Alina and Dima don't write scripts, just outlines. They figure out the visuals in storyboarding. That way they don't have to worry about the script getting outdated or needing changes later.

Q&A:

Q: Will there be an episode of Imagine about My Little Pony?
Dima: Maybe there will.

Q: Will we ever see adult Heavy and Dee, or will the characters stay the same age?
Dima: It's a spoiler!
Alina: Yeah, it's a spoiler. But I think you can already guess. (smiles)

Q: Why won't there be any more character Q&As?
Dima: The answer is simple. When we first started the Q&As, we knew we had to start from something mild. It's kinda like hot peppers: there's different heat levels, starting from mild and, eventually, reaching inferno levels of spice. So we watched people's reactions.
The first one, Heavy, was the mildest, but even he made some nasty comments. Then there was Victoria, she was quite rude a few times. Then there was Dee, who was asked "Do you want a relationship?" And said (caustically) "You mean with you?"
Alina: Or when Glam just outright said "You will die."
Dima: The reaction was still fine, so we thought "Okay, not too spicy yet." Then it was Ches's turn, and the reaction was... (writhes in agony) We looked and thought "We shouldn't give them the next pepper." That's why there won't be any more Q&As. 

Q: Ever wanted to go back to the days of ArhyBES? [Dima and Zhenya's (Glam's Russian VA) YouTube channel.]
Dima: (in Ches's voice) Why go back? I'm already there. But for real, Zhenya and I currently have our own projects, but we might make something together in the future.
