I think you're underestimating just how difficult 3D animation is. Try your hands at using Koikatsu, load a timeline scene, and see how many keyframes there are just for one character.MMD models don't count. He's not drawing anything by hand when he takes existing models and makes them do stuff.
Even copy-pasting different characters in an existing scene requires you to make small minute adjustments and also account for clothing/hair clipping through items.
Hell, the Firefly video had the hair clipping through the table during the missionary scene and I know, as a Koikatsu user, that long hairstyles are a pain to get right.
Then there's the process of rendering the scene into video format which can take hours if not days depending on the size. Even a 30 second 720p video takes about half an hour to complete. Can you imagine what it's like to render a 10 minute video? And you better pray your PC doesn't crash during the rendering process, or worse your hard drive gets corrupted.
