We all really appreciate the love this is getting! Working on this has been a blast, and getting to bring these guys to lofe and give them this energy was an honor!
I'm glad you're excited for more-stay that way. You ain't seen nothing yet 😉
Makes me wish bionicle was never canceled
@@legosam2067 It lives on in all of us 😌
Is this series ment to be tv 14 of PG just asking
@@Savageobitoishere ...Closer to 14
The emphasis on the individual Piraka's bodies and the shape language associated with them is genuinely wonderful to see. It makes them stand out so much more than them being carbon copies with the only differences being in their colors, spines, and heads.
Thanks! That was the most important thing I kept in mind for the character designs.
And feet.
I absolutely love the stylization of the characters. Reminds me a lot of Genndy Tartakovsky's style (Samurai Jack).
That's exactly what we're going for 😁
Reminds me more of Transformers Animated. Either way, me like.
@@retrogamelover2012same I got the TF animated feelings just from the thumbnail
@@retrogamelover2012Aw shoot! Same! I got immediate Transformers Animated vibes from the artstyle (especially from Reidak)! No wonder it's so nostalgic!😂
@@thesupershinymegagengar2034 thought the bird thing was lazerbeak lol
This is fantastic, I love the cartoony interpretations of the Piraka! It adds so much character while still being recognizable as their original designs.
Super proud of my work as Reidak here. I’ve come a long way since I first recorded this; can’t wait to jump back into the recording booth for Episode 2 :)
You 100% should be, that’s exactly what I imagined reidak sounding like
Now I can't get the image of Ork Reidak out of my head. *WAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHH!*
Love the deep cockney accent. Suits him to a T.
It still feels funny to think that it's my voice on Avak. It's my 1st experience on a cartoon as an original voice, and I don't regret it. I'd like to thank the Mangai Project team again for entrusting me with the role !
You did a great job =D
NOOOOICE!!!!❤
@@crossyfirezx9659 Thank you
The chins are fantastic.
I can just imagine how Zaktan, Thok, Hakann, and even Vezon voice
This is amazingly done! I love how youcan tell that this is Vezok back when his mind was still a lot sharper. :D
throughout all Bionicle (Fan-)Media, Avak is always the Piraka, who gets pushed around the most.
Yet Reidak was the one who got pushed off the boat...
Yeah he's always seemed the weakest. He gets defeated the most out of all of them (probably justified given how OP his prison power would be). I don't know though, he's always been my favorite of the bunch.
He's the pushover
the cape is a pretty good addition for vezok. it fits his pre-division-into-two-beings character. he was a sneaky thief after all
YEAH, every character deserves some... "stylish" looks. Am I wrong?
I love this so much. It's so cool to see Legacy of Evil brought to life. And this animation has so much life, style and, flair to it. Phenomenal attention to detail, like how Vezok uses a different swimming stroke than Reidak. And the bird at the beginning looks so good too (original design I presume but recognizable parts, fits right in). Fantastic job!
Yes! I designed the bird! Thank you!
Actually did it by tracing pieces and fit them together to proper scale. It is buildable, though!
Also the bird's scene was not in the script. I added it based on the book lines.
Hell yeah! a Transformers animated style Bionicle cartoon. FINALLY!
Oh, I remember this from Legends 4. Really exited to see how the project ends up!
That was phenomenal. Finally feels like we have a bionicle tv show!!
This feels like Bionicle TFA and I love it
What is TFA mean?
@@kevin-2.1 Transformers Animated
This animation is so expressive I'm absolutely enamored
(Was anyone else expecting a massive cluster of censor bleeps after Reidak fell out of the boat in line with the string of swears he's stated to shout off in the book?)
Wonderful animation work and great cartoon designs for the Piraka.
This is giving me Transformers Animated vibes, and I'm all for it.
The TF: A vibes coming from this are huge
Great work, excited to see where this goes next!
what is TFA
@@awsomebot1 TF: A is short for Transformers: Animated
Love the artstyle, gives a bit of transformers animated vibes!
You know i realized the piraka are basically like the Decepticons, just bunch of man chilldren arguing and fighting each other lead by big scary leader who has to keep em in line
Depends tbh sometimes the deceptions are ruthley efficient other times a bunch of drama queens with huge egos
The piraka for right in the middle
Its like a bunch of starscreams but y'know actually scary
The voice acting was so charming in this. Very professional for a fan project and really gave the Piraka a 'loveable group of stinkers" type energy. Very excited to see how this continues.
BRUH WHY DO I ONLY FIND ABOUT THIS NOW THIS IS INCREDIBLE I LOVE EVERY SINGLE PIXEL OF THIS THIS IS BEAUTIFUL I LOVE THE ARTSTYLE THE EXPRESSIONS ARE ON FREAKING POINT IT'S SO COOL I LOVE IT
Ahaha, I always enjoyed that moment of Avak flipping Reidak in the book, and it's just as great in animation as I always imagined it :D I love the stylisation of the character designs too; Vezok's especially looks really effective, but it's the uniqueness of each of them that really make them stand out. Really nice work!
Much appreciated! Wanted to add some extra distinction.
The animation style seems like a cross between Teen Titans and Buzz Lightyear of star command.
The stylisation of this goes so hard! I love how each of their faces looks feasible and unique, I especially love how Raidek’s lips can naturally form together unlike the other too!
Love the detail of Vezok's far more proficient swimming compared to Reidak.
Avak is my favourite bionicle character, so I love the animation for his invisible prison cells as well as his voice.
There was a big discussion about how the cage was supposed to look.
I remember this scene from Bionicle Legends #4 and laughing at the whole "I'll flip you for it!" bit. Actually seeing it animated, just made me laugh at it all over again, bravo!
Wow this is fucking killer. Excellent work here.
This reminds me a lot of Disney animated movies and also the animation of Ben 10. I love it great work excited to see possibly more!
I want this to get on Glitch's radar, the animation is excellent, too bad being a fan project might be too scary for them.
(even if lego never goes after copyright on youtube)
Quick! Someone call Essenger and Cryoshell!
I really do like this and being able to follow yalls version of the bionicle stpry sounds awesome
Amazing
I absolutely love how distinctive and iconic the Bionicle designs are that even with this highly stylized version I was able to recognize the characters just from the thumbnail.
That said, I absolutely _adore_ this style for the Piraka! They were always the goofiest villains IMO, and this Disney Afternoon/CW Kids style of animation really captures their over-the-top identities so perfectly.
Much appreciated 😊
As the editor of the audio, I am truly impressed by this animation so far! We’ll be in for a true ride!
"Soo... who's going to help me?"
TRANSLATION: "Who's going to be a light snack, while I get the job done?"
This is the coolest thing I've ever seen.
I gotta watch the whole stream now!!
Love the Derrick Wyatt art style reminiscent of Transformers: Animated. Looking forward to this!
this has for some reason hardcore Cartoon Network vibes
Awesome! I can't wait to see how episode 1 turns out. The animation style is so expressive and smooth, and it kind of reminds me of Samurai Jack and Invader Zim.
That was phenomenal! I love this keeps a sense of humor for the Piraka and captures their bickering shenanigans so well.
Can't remember if Vezok's eye's glowing when he threatened Avak was in the book, but either way it's a nice touch.
Oh my.. oh god, oh by the great spirit.. this is SO GOOD!
Oooooo that little bit of a reveal at the end. Really love how things are looking, keep up the good work, all of you!
Thank you! Will do!
I’m already in love with this series idea Omg!
Cool. Can't wait to see the finished animation.
It's giving me a transformers animated vibe. I like it.
Whoah. I really like this
Legacy of Evil was my favorite book as a kid, so seeing one of its funniest scenes in motion is a delight!
Great stuff! So glad you've chosen to depict this part of the story too 🙂👍
This has a ton of charm, I love it
The designs look like their from transformers animated
HOLY MOLY this looks incredible! The artstyles reminds me a lot of Transformers: Animated and I mean that in the best way. I’m looking forward to the first full episode!
I don´t know how I got here, but Bionicle cartoons are the best thing i´ve seen in a while.. great job!
heh You know what's funny? Where other shows or animated projects that involve robots
normally use cgi or stop motion, This one is an Indie Bionicle series using
Hand Drawn Animation!
Reidak is Australian? I wouldn't have expected that but somehow it makes perfect sense
Vezok here is in his prime: calm, cool and efficient with a tactical mind. However once he lost his logical side to Vezon after becoming Piraka, he was very emotionally imbalanced, a shadow of his former self.
Simple and clean animation
The art style reminds me of transformers animated
God I love this style for the Piraka and the voices for Reidak and Vezon or Vezok can’t remember are great and a French accenteded Avak weirdly fits
This looks really cool! Subscribed!
Ayo bionicle with Derrick J Wyatt cartoon style, reminds me of Transformers animated. Cool stuff
I love the Piraka.
Super awesome. Lots of good memories from Bionicle. The art style really reminds me of that animated transformers show. I can't quite remember the name of it but I super like it tho
That... was... SICK!!!
Gives me big Transformers Animated vibes (designs by the guy who did teen titans, RIP)
Reminds me of Transformers Animated
0:14 Reidak honestly looks like Sentinel Prime from TFA to me...
Immediately subscribed! Lovely work, can't wait to see more!
The aesthetic here is immaculate! I can’t wait to see more from this project
The animation in this is so good, so is the writing, props to everyone who worked on this
Damn I'm excited for this. It looks phenomenal so far!
Wow this is so amazing, my inner child is beyond happy
This is magnificent
Yo yo Piraka.
This is very reminiscent of Transformers Animated. I love it.
Words cannot express how excited I am.
Cool, now animate the scene where one of em hallucinates all their armor melting off
absolutely beautiful
WAAAAAIIIT this is amazzzingg
i like the style of this
If I was Vezok, I would have considered sinking the boat so that everyone would have to go down together (would complicate things later, but it's a funny thought).
I’m sure Vezon would have done it.
Great job :D
😃
WOW THIS LOOKS SICK
Oh this is EXACTLY what I’ve needed!
This is cool, kinda looks like the Mixel art style
Oh this is peak 🙏
I love your animation, I want to become a famous animator!
So many high quality animated series coming out on UA-cam these past few months wtf
I love this so much. How did I only found it now?!
Im in love
Smart Vezok is weird. I’m assuming he loses that weird hair bang when he gets split?
It's a spike. He won't lose that, but he will lose the cape!
YESSSSSS
Why was I not informed of this amazing animation sooner? Also, no offense or anything, but I was expecting Vezok’s to have a much tougher and more “Beast” sounding voice. Although the voice he does have is pretty close to how I picture one of my Dark Hunter MOCs sounding like.
Thank you! We gave Vezok a more intelligent demeanor, due to this being before his mind was split in two, which created the characters of Vezon and Vezok.
@@themangaiproject Ah, that makes sense.
Imagine this:
Reidak voiced by Neil Masell, Avak voiced by James Garner, and Vezok voiced by… whoever voices Angron from The Horus Heresy: The Butcher’s Nails.
Dig the quietness and steady pacing between lines. Gives the airs of a Tartakovsky series like Symbionic Titan or Samurai Jack.
Intentional or not, that's not a bad approach to take at all. Not at all.
Vezok before losing Vezon.
This artwork is giving me vibes based on Keyan Carlile's "Transformers Combaticons" animation.
