I was here. Sail on through starlight ✨
This is unbelievable work; congratulations!
How many anime references did u put in there? I saw four myself, great work!
That deserve its own anime...
This was absolutely amazing! I am kinda lost for words here ...
That is easily one of the best animated, if not THE best animated music Video of Jonathan's entire album. Good Work VOLTA!
So...when's the full season dropping? 👀
As a anime? I'd like to know myself 👀
Exactly my thoughts too 👀
Yassss! I want an anime of this so bad!!! Let’s goooooo!!!! ❤
I would love a show on the future dystopia this commercial airs in 😂 this was fantastic
If this happens, I'm so on board.
The animation is actually unreal here. The song is amazing but my god the visuals are insane for a UA-cam music video, this looks AAA industry standard
UR standard
I was fully expecting it to flip down to just video footage of Mr. Young rocking out after the first 7 seconds and kept expecting ANY MOMENT for it to stop or lose quality but it just dialed to 11 and never turned down for the whole thing. Phenomenal!
Nah this straight up looks better. Wtf was that.
Lot easier to make less then five minutes of footage look really good then churn out a 12 episode season on the clock.
I'd say better. A mainstream version would probably look like over produced crap.
What I love about this is it's not just a song about the best spaceship ever. It's a song about an advertisement for the best spaceship ever.
"this is not, the greatest song in the world nooo...."
@@Tylerownsface this is only a tribute
@@stonewolf9459 is this a reference to that one guy who heard the devil play a violin song in his dream and tried to replicate it?
@@pamelotms5867 lol that sounds like a story I need to hear, no its the next lyric in the song tyler was singing
@@stonewolf9459 if you wana know more about the story look up "Devil's Trill Sonata".
Took me about 10 listens to realize this was legit just a giant ad for a spaceship, but this is a fuckin banger!
Make it... however many until I saw this comment. 40+ ?
@@1Kapuchu100 I think it was the 30th watch before I realized she has a cow ring.
I'm sold, I want the ship
Best possible ratio of anime OP : car commercial jingle.
This is the kind of fever dream all animators dreamt of doing when we started, and I am in absolute awe.
I love how this perfectly encapsulates the feeling of an 80s cartoon theme that' has super cheesy and pretty on the nose lyrics but still goes incredibly hard.
Not only that but the animation is absolutely SPECTACULAR and gives me tons of nostalgia for the old anime I grew up watching.
Yep the dubs often don’t hold up but the visuals on so many remain awe inspiring.
feels more like mid 2000 and 2011 anime era
as there are many references to Gainax series like SSSSGridman or Gurren lagann.
2011 was also when JOJO got full anime
and obviously some references to Cyberpunk Edgerunners
@@jacek107ify Well, I suppose I shouldn't have used "old" because I was thinking about late 90s - mid 2000s anime. But I'm only nineteen so those are older to me. 😅
Edit: Or should I say, those are what I grew up with.
@@terracottagecheese2767 There was also bike from Akira
Yeah it has the charm and awesomeness of the 80's early 90's and cool main character and interesting world need more.
The alternate future where the 90s anime style survived through the digital age
Yep, between this, Magnum Bullets and some others I’m having a great revival. Just need a Ulysses 31 remake and it will be perfect 🤩
Well-drawn animation is a lost treasure. And we killed it.
It wasn't digital art that killed the 90s anime style. It was anime studios discovering they could milk 98% of the money out of depressed lonly men in Japan by pumping out moe shlock. Anime is an industry, not an art. Whatever will sell the most will be made.
@@MeepChangeling Anime is often digital art. Anyway, in the US, 2d animation was killed because 2d studios were unionized. 3d weren't. 3d was therefore cheaper.
We have ugly ass 3d animation to thank, unfortunately it’s much cheaper to use that’s why they keep using it
No car ad has ever made me want to buy a car, but this makes me want to buy a spaceship without even really emphasising that it's a bloody spaceship in the first place.

Dunno what I’ve just accidentally stumbled upon, but the animation’s fluidity tickles my eyes is an indescribable form.
had it playing on my speakers and it made my balls vibrate...
The algorythm is never wrong.
same
I just commented basically the same thing 2 seconds ago I too have no idea how this ended up on my suggestions but wow am I glad it did.
True
First “Starlight Brigade” and now “Starship Velociraptor”. Two music videos with incredible animation that we can’t have as tv shows :(
Thank you, I'm not the only one who drew the comparison.
you sure arnt! man that was my first thought when i saw the name and that it was animated
It’s my head cannon they are in the same universe
I want Starlight Brigade as a show, I want this one as a game series.
starlight doesn't even compare to this masterpiece dude
Eight months later, I still want a full blown anime in this style. It's absolutely gorgeous.
IT WOULD COST BILLIONS DEAR LORD
Would make more than enough revenue to compensate the cost @@CH-gm6rl
Eh, i don't want an anime of this, i want the damn velociraptor 😂😂
Tengen Toppa is kind of like this. Has to be the main inspiration at least.
@@_drnova1064 gotta be, didnt you see the drill?
I absolutely love this song.
The line "The secret is the core reactor, to make the lightyears feel like miles" just gives me the chills.
Can we just have high-tech space travel like this yet? Please?
One of the most inspiring moments in my life was learning about the Voyager missions. One of the most heartbreaking moments came right after when I asked how long it would be before the voyager spacecraft would reach the next star system and send us images of even more worlds.
Well we'd need to crack the secrets of viable antimatter reactors first.
Where are you going to go?
@@bthsr7113 I think the secret to FTL travel is locked away in either artificial wormhole technology or manipulating dark matter somehow and I hope we see it in our lifetimes
@@synthstatic9889 It really is staggering to contemplate. Space is big, and old.
Oh, my, goodness! This is an audio/visual feast of so many things building up untop of each other! Amazing amazing amazing work!
מכל האנשים בעולם לא ציפיתי לראות אותך פה לול
The Living Tombstone is here so this song have to be a banger
Ikr! So good.
100 % agree. The visuals alone are mindblowing. Add on an amazing song and you've got an instant playlist addition
I feel like getting a compliment on the quality of your music video by the same man who did 2 songs (with visualizara) on the globgolgabgalab, must be surreal, those two songs are more valuable than all of the Picasso’s combined.
This is PERFECTION; my GOD y'all knocked it out of the park.
The voice, the story, the animation, the ability to read the animation, the character design, the commentary, the parody. Like y'all were firing on ALL CYLINDERS man
100 Laser blasters!
This...makes me want to buy a starship. If more ads were like this, I wouldn't mind hearing ads so much.
Yes, they just need to write an incredible song to go with it.
Seriously, where would I need to sign?
@@Ulmaramlu On the dotted line of course.
So many animation techniques we don’t see anymore outside of shorts. Your work is fantastic, homage and update in one.
This animation style originated from shows like Gurren Lagann. Search "Gurren Lagann We Will Never Fight Alone" and you'll see it.
can you highlight some of those techniques? I'm ignorant of them :)
@@hyperflares2879 A lot of the fluid motion of cloth for one. The sheer attention to detail is not only very expensive, it requires a very large number of people working on individual frames. Japan historically had swarms of animators in poor living conditions who were paid very little money, allowing some of the legendary animations to be done by overwhelmingly deep pools of talent. Nowadays, the only way to regain access to that kind of dedicated skill in a feature length is to pour vast amounts of money into it over a long period of time with a director with a specific vision. The budget just isn't there. You could hypothetically get it by being unethical to your animators too, as some studios try, but that's likely to alienate everyone who might watch your film. That, and money-grubbers care less about the quality of the final product so they're unlikely to make such a product.
On the other hand, having a low budget isn't always bad. The final episode of the original Gunbuster anime isn't colored and the majority of the action scenes are still images from concept art boards with music played over them. They made the tone work despite completely lacking the wealth to pull off animation of that scene, so you really do get the sense of a battle involving millions fighting trillions for the fate of the galaxy.
Tho some were from reference, like the lasers from Gunbuster - but that's really nitpicking at an extreeeeeemely petty level for how this thing flows beat after beat after beat.
@@AlphaNumericKey Thank youuuu
I can’t believe it’s already been 2 years since this amazing album release.
Can’t wait for what’s more to come! ❤

@@sargentuniverse2254 Dude how are you subscribed to JoYo's channel without knowing about the album? :P
ua-cam.com/play/PLjy-Pbm10mtNAsk10MVXrsHUz-EabAxx5.html
I thought this was an epic opening to an animated series that doesn't exist:
Didn't realize until half way through that it was actually an add for a fancy space car
I have to concede, "Velociraptor" is probably the best name for a swift mid-class frigate or light cruiser. "Fast bird of prey" is very fitting, and it has an unmistakable edge to it. The minute the Federals hear it, they *know* it, and they know it means *trouble* for *somebody.*
In all honesty, velociraptors are pack animals, I kinda see them as dogfighter types, but this one is indeed a banging tune
Fast pickets are a staple of navies so you have a point. But Velociraptor here screams so much anime protag, this ship could probably be found leading the fight against the big bad evil guy at the end of an anime.
WHY AREN'T WE FUNDING THIS SERIES GODDAMMI!
@@TheNapster153 Y'know, you're right? It's like the Normandy SR2 if Jonathan was in charge of its design. Forget the Illusive Man - GalactiKraken is flipping the bill!
If I had a nickel for everytime I saw an incredible music video featuring indie animation with a sci-fi theme as a homage to 90s anime that i wanted adapted into a full show, i'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's so cool it happened twice
What's the other one?
@@TheSuperSushiMaster They were probably not thinking of the Space Stallions, but it definitely also fits the bill: ua-cam.com/video/5Otaq2tmNMM/v-deo.html

Blame Akira.
same here oh my gods!
@@voltanimation Welp, last time I animated was years ago, better start animating again. Seriously though, this animation is overpowered.
@@ArimarJ Its actually insane im losing my mind
This really is peak aesthetics, holy shit. The color design drenched in purples, pinks, and blues, the emphatic use of text, the fashion, the sakuga, the Gurren Lagann reference 2:30, the Redline reference 0:41?!
Redline is one of my favorite movies ever and I didn't get that, I don't know how. Thanks for pointing it out!
Oh there were a LOT MORE references than that!
>gurren lagann
No that goes back even further to Gunbuster.
@@travisg2619 the character's pose goes back to gunbuster (and appears in a lot of gainax/trigger shows made after it, including gurren), but the specific zoom out from on top of the ship is absolutely from gurren lagann.
Don't forget Akira and Ghost in the Shell.
It's the need in her eyes for the best ship in the galaxy for me....
And the feeling of the hand caressing the face of her intergalactic destiny
When a UA-cam video independent animation has better quality than a lot of multinational animation companies. I'm speechless, this is just so beautiful
it's when art is driven by soul, not trends and profit
These folks just wanted to make something cool instead of going for safe virtue singaling nonsense a lot of modern stuff goes for.
It's my honest to God dream that one day, quality film-making technology will be so widely available and easy to use that wonderful, unique, heartfelt stuff like this will replace Hollywood altogether.
Yeah, it's a bitter shame that even after 800K people watched this, the animator only has like 7k subs still or something.
@@delphicdescant Agreed, animation far surpassed the song, but also, didn't seem to match much of the song, probably a disconnect between both artists. Or maybe this is just modern crap like newgrounds was back 18 years ago.
Between this and Starlight Brigade I want more 80/90s animations
REAL
I want a cross over.
2nami
Is there a good list of transcendent cornerstone animations? I imaging "Double King", "Freak of the Week" and "Little Runmo", to name a few, could make that cut as well
@@ParallelLogic I'd like to add "Cream" to that list.
Also pick anything from meat Canyon... But "Train" is especially haunting.
If you want something with no extra IP, well, "Stink Fiend" is particularly horrific.
Why can't modern anime look like this??? This was INCREDIBLE!!! Like how was it so good???
The actual answer? Too expensive for the return. Also. I wouldn't be surprised if Jonathan payed Volta for 4:30 minutes of animation the equivalent of half a seasonal anime regarding budget. Most anime is made dirt cheap. Also. The golden rule of any artform. All you need to make it good is ressources and time. Modern anime has neither and this was baked in the oven for a while. Probably as long as it needed to be. :)
@@siph0r154 But why did it look so much better in the 80's and 90's? They were working under the same constraints back then.
@@kode-man23
On the one hand. No it didn't.
Nostalgia and selective memory do play a role in your perception there. You were also way younger and easier to impress.
On the other: Overall there was less anime in the making at any given time and it was all handcrafted on paper. This does give a different feel and the production speed was less break-neck.
@@siph0r154 Not to mention that back then Anime was even more niche than it is now, which means what you would see outside of Japan was going to be the higher end stuff. It costs money to translate, localize, and ship product around the world. When the market is very limited you are not going to waste time and money on the anime that isn't likely to sell at all. You're going to spend that time and money on the ones that will make you money, which generally means they will be the higher quality best looking ones.
@@kode-man23 there was a loooot of bad anime at the time. But even with all the garbage in those days, back then the corporate control wasn't as nearly concentrated into a handful megacorporate entities who dictate what gets made, when it gets made, what appeals to focus groups and market trends the best. Now even the best stuff is heavily meddled with by corporate entities that outsource various aspects of animation out to other cheap labor animation houses.
This SHOULD be some kind of Anime.
Just under TWRP's "Starlight Brigade"!
I love this.
So glad this popped up in my recommended
Yeah, this has the aggressive techno-funk feel I needed in the moment. Guess it’s time to bathe in the starlight of Starship Velociraptor
And I have to add that the animations all feel nostalgic, kinda like they used old techniques or something to make it feel like a 80-90’s toon. That’s more just a feeling on my part though.
@@hunterthornton4909 me too
If Dan and TWRP haven't seen this, yet, you have to show them. I'm certain they'd be so stoked to see this style spreading.
Maybe it'd even inspire them to work together sometime. That'd be so cool!
I never thought I'd see an animator make the process of swiping a credit card into one of the best and most epic transitions ever
Yet here we are
I think its an homage to the scenes where characters swipe their cards in the escalator areas of nerv in evangelion. Its very similar in framing
The anime references went crazy. Gunbuster-style lazer blasters. Gainax posing. Akira bike action. I'm sure there's so much more I missed. This was absolutely fantastic in so many ways, great job!
So many anime references I lost count, goung all the way back to classics from the 70's and 80's. This is a masterpiece.

Volta... this animation is genuinely incredible. High quality, maintained proportions, awesome camerawork, lovely action shots!! AND SHADED THIS WAY? WITH THIS MANY FRAMES? WHAT ARE YOU DOINGGGGG
this adds a whole new context to the song that I can't forget, this is awesome
My GOD this is an absolute delight. The entire Starship Velociraptor album has been getting such insane music videos and this might be my favorite one yet.
This takes personalised advertising to a whole new level.
Just the way he sings velociraptor is just so good.
Damn Jonathan & Volta what an incredible piece of art you've both made! This is insanely beautiful!
Hello youtuber I know
FR
bro, this is the most underrated piece of media I've ever seen
The artstyle has such amazing 90s energy! And Jonathan Young's epic voice belting out the ridiculous phrase "starship velociraptor" with completely sincerety had me grinning like a loon!
The animation was a great tribute to retro anime, especially that of the 80s (and 70s but I'm not as familiar with that). I watched reruns of the English dubs in the 90s and I see the sci-fi influence. The character art style is very evocative of Rumiko Takahashi. And the music is a tribute to the 80s. Two thumbs up.
This song..i swear. The more i listen to it, the more i like that old school feel it gives off.
It's amazing how many people they had working on this, gutair, leads, vocals, orchestra, design, art, list goes on.
Amazing
2 people ~ I did all the music, volta did all the visuals :)
@@jonathanymusic awsome job bro it was amzaing cant wait for more originals music. plus love your album.
@@jonathanymusic No, I think the other guy's right. Had to have been like sixty people /s
@@jonathanymusic I think they were joking about the credits - enjoyed the 'credits' which where just scrolling through the two names!
@@jonathanymusic You are both absolutely bonkers. And I mean that as a compliment. I took an animation class last semester... it's *not easy*; and then all the different instruments + vocals and all the production work...
My brain kinda melts imagining it. But the end product speaks for itself. Frikkin rad.
It's equally depressing and inspiring that some of the best animations are produced by small time groups and individuals who just post em on UA-cam.
Like god _damn_ this shit looks fucking phenomenal
The intro took me for a ride! The visuals are 110% ! A sight to behold!
My headcanon is that this is a "several thousand years later" sequel series to Starlight Brigade. It looks and sounds every bit as amazing.
I'm always going between the two songs!
I can't get over the... everything in this. The lyrics, the animation, the message... all of it. There is something heart wrenchingly bittersweet about "buy the adventure you've always wanted," a dream just out of reach for the individual trapped in a corporate job. These heroes, villains, and boundless experiences just waiting for you on the other side of a thin line of credit, all ready to take you in if only you could afford it. It's like a gut punch that I can't stop listening to.
I crave more of this glittery, bright sadness.
I never thought of it like that. I just thought of it as a sort of silly song about selling a spaceship, but I think you're on to something. I was missing out.
The phrase "glittery, bright sadness" perfectly encapsulates this music video. Also, while it looks like it ends on a positive note, most of the visuals are the girl's fantasies, so it's entirely possible that the ending we see was just another daydream while she's still stuck in her office. I mean, the story starts with her trying to get to some kind of Visual Kei concert, and then at the end, the singer from the beginning picks her up in the spaceship. That just screams "it was all just a dream" to me.
Hey at 9999 payments of $1,139.95, its cheaper than 11.3 million; that's practically a steal! Go on and get it, you'll never regret it!
hope you're happy to know that I can't listen to this song without thinking about this comment, it just hits me right in the gut every single time
Yes, but... it's also JUST an ad.
the animation is insane, not a single short holds for more than 3 seconds. Its so complex, so much dynamic movement and impressive color scheming.
Just saw the animation for the first time after hearing the song hundreds of times and all I can say is 😍🤤🤯
So this is why tv shows have intro songs...
Remindes me of the good old 90's hand-drawn animations.
He said, as if digital drawing isn't also made using one's hands to create lines.
Oh YEAH!!! Now THIS is a LOVE LETTER!!! The MUSIC!!! The ANIMATION!!! The DESIGNS!!! The COLOUR SCHEME!!! I feel like I'm 15 falling in love with my first mecha anime all over again!!!
Speaking of color schemes. Big O was a great mecha anime that intentionally used a noir color scheme since it based itself on Batman.
Seriously. God I miss 80's anime so much. Modern stuff is good, but like basically everything 80's there's just something special about that older stuff that you just don't see anymore. Until this ...
@@femsplainerit’s style the stupidly cool effects you don’t see this kinda flavor with most anime
I just wanna say the SOUND DESIGN at the very beginning is phenomenal. Really puts you in the world. Feels good on the ears you know
My thoughts exactly
I couldn't have sed it better my self. The beginning of the song gets you pumped up for the adventure. Damn I miss the classic from the 80s and 90s
I don't know what exactly it is, probably the extraordinary animation and the high tempo and the damn good music, but I REALLY like this song.
What's funny to me is it's like an AU advert for a star ship XD
This is so badass. Would totally watch this if it was a show.
This animation is insane!!! Starship Velociraptor has become one of my favorite albums. Rock on Jonathan, and we'll done to the animation team.🎉❤
The team says thank you!
Crazy how this music goes so hard, yet it's so gentle.
There's no like.. "in your face" instruments or something. IDK how to describe it. But despite the song's energy and hype it's suuuper laid back and relaxing. So weird. It's amazing.
Feels like you’re driving a very fast but comfortable spaceship
@@Megapixel8063 Something with like 100 laser blasters, hardwood floors and a dozen restrooms.

@@therealsokratis
It could theoretically be yours forever after.
This song is on my playlist when playing No Man's Sky, Elite: Dangerous, and even Star Citizen.
This screams retro, not just the visuals, but the music, that synth keyboard, the operatic vocal highs. This is unreal
And those anime bangs!
Ehhhh not really, it screams neo-retro pastiche, stuff wasn't really like this back in the day, especially with all the more modern flashy Gurren Lagann/Kill la Kill references, I think the visuals in for example Dua Lipa's Levitation were WAY more authentic to the older generations.
@RedZeshinX I grew up in that era, I'm aware that this is more a on the level of a romanticized version of what it was actually like. There are certainly various elements visually and even cues in the music that can most definitely fit that retro feel.
@@MrRemmington I **was** going to say:
"The (sequenced?) synth is a bit too frantic to really sound exceptionally 80's to me. Most 80's synth is either actually starkly simple or it goes for multitracked layers of synth, rather than blazing runs like a pop-adulterated 70's scale-playing prog keyboardist.
Staying in the realm of synth-rock that's about spaceships and sounds like it came out of an anime, I'd peg something like "Take It to the Sun" (ua-cam.com/video/7FAIO9LHDXo/v-deo.html) as sounding more thoroughly 80's to my ears- all the way down to having Asia's vocalist guest. "
But then thinking of Asia brought back to my mind "Hard on Me" (ua-cam.com/video/0jK4raDCDxA/v-deo.html) from 1987, which starts with a notably frenetic, sequenced synth run that reappears throughout the track. Granted, most of that band was old prog alumni from the 70's, too, but if that song doesn't sound 80's, I don't know what does. Album cover looks the part, too.
So, I suppose: OBJECTION WITHDRAWN, YOUR HONOR. (The production still sounds thoroughly modern, but I'll concede the rest.)
This song remains maddeningly catchy, despite being nowhere near my typical fare. There's a perverse brilliance to the lyrics.
@@theAsterisk I have no idea how to respond

Phenomenal work. Animation is spot on, and felt like I somehow got transported back the days of 80's and early 90's Anime.

@@stand_user-yb3ee1ts5s Yes we are aware of that
its called effort, passion, and style. ALL in short supply in music and movies now

The minute any car dealership or dealer matches this talent and intensity, is the day I will absolutely buy a new car.

What an amazing Video

I believe it was one person who did the animation (volta animation). could be wrong
It's crazy that this was done by a single person. VOLTA is crazy.

that art. jesus. i need a series or movie. blows most stuff out of the water.
Sail on through starlight!
I love how you and Volta fleshed out a space opera universe that's brilliantly retro and modern at the same time in the span of two music videos. I would love to live in this universe.
A wonderful visual tribute to epic 90's era anime, the kind I grew up on as a teenager during that time. Takes me back to the anime conventions of the time, loving seeing all the cool stuff there, and getting to enjoy amazing new anime as they came out.
Starship Velociraptor has been a fantastic album ever since it came out, and I've loved revisiting it and listening to it this entire time. Keep being the incredibly talented musician that you are, Jonathan!

@@klevkaisetsu4883 Yep, also Akira and The secret of blue water!
I've also seen references to Gunbuster, Beck, and Interstella 5555. I think there are also references to Dirty Pair, Escaflowne, Initial D, but I'm less sure of those, and I know there are a bunch of others. I'd honestly be curious to see someone make a list of timestamps for all the specific anime references.
Ghost in the Shell is there
Pretty sure 3:25 is an homage to the first fight scene with Kenny in Attack on Titan
This is the world that the Starlight Brigade was fighting for.
Hell, this could be the direct sequel.
I know, this video was just made for the song, but I'd totally watch a six season tv show with 5 OVA feature length and a double-feature length. Might even buy the merch and collectibles.

I think we can all agree that "comes with a fridge that's full of meat" is pretty much the best song lyric ever.
I was waiting for this line.
Slaps so hard.
"making light-years feel like miles", that part hit so profoundly.
Its truly mindblowing how this was done by only two people, I love it
My favourite part is these guys rocking it out on the train. 2:53
~ Volta, this stunning work goes galaxies beyond what I was imagining. You harnessed the essence of Starship Velociraptor beautifully. This is the perfect foundation for a complete animated series.
~ Jonathan, SV1’s songs have brightened some of my darkest days in these past two years, it never fails to lift my Spirit. Thank you so much for making this album.
~ Starship Velociraptor, Happy Birthday! You’re amazing and I cannot now imagine my musical world without you. Shine on you glorious masterpiece. ✨
I'm glad to know it made things whole for someone that loved the album so much. Enjoy!
@@voltanimation thank you so much, Volta 🙏🏻
@@voltanimation I'm largely impressed, thanks for your hard work with Jonatan. We've got a masterpiece with two talents work together!
This might genuinely be one of the best songs I've ever heard. The ENERGY is astonishing and the visuals show it perfectly.
But the best part- IT'S AN ADVERT! 😂
The whole thing is basically just one incredible promotion for a cool-ass spaceship! And yet it still fits perfectly with the cyberpunk consumeristic setting. The fact I can't get it out of my head like a catchy commercial is so meta it's amazing (and I would have absolutely bought one in a heartbeat!)
An honest to God amazing song and an absolutely perfect video to match.
Unmatchable work, Jonathan Young and VOLTA! Incredible job!
this just made me want to sit down in a spaceship and shove the throttle to max
I finally took the time to pause and check out all the details in the video. It's super cool and I suggest you do the same.
For example, the agreement to buy the ship is that Hato (that's her name. Also, her blood type is blue) agrees to pay 20 million won (almost exactly $15,000) each month for a Graham number of years (super big number). That's $180,000 per year for basically ever. Then again, if it can actually go faster than light, that'd allow her to go back in time and only ever make the first payment.
Edit: Thanks to Amadeus Nagamine for correcting me.
Either a promotion for a sick spaceship, or, judging from the video, a used-starship spiel by an extremely aggressive group of sales persons who may or may not be pirates flipping a stolen craft.
@@Archgeek0 I'm putting money on pirates flipping a stolen craft before going to who knows where before the cops come
Not sure where you got Yumi from...her name is Hato Suzuhura, you can see it in the frame where her hand is on the payment device which also mentions her blood being bllue
If this is a taste of things to come, I can't wait to see more!
Holy shit, it feels like an extended version of a TV show. Quite nostalgic, in a way - despite some modern words here and there.
It all rhymes and even at a time it felt like the assumption song- the part with the toilets anyway. kek
But DAMN, this whole thing is just made of AWESOME. Kudos to everyone involved.
So. . . this song is selling the finest ship in the galaxy?
The animation is so cool, and the rhythm is the finest. I will keep re-watch this for a long time without getting bored
When an ad is fucking fire.
YO THESE FOUR AND A HALF MINUTES OF ANIMATION WERE A WHOLE ENTIRE MASTERPIECE ??? Genuinely I felt goosebumps because that shit goes this hard I love every frame of it???
I love that the entire thing is just a sales pitch.
This is so hype, I sawed this boat in half!
I love that this song is just an ad.
It adds a level of hilarity to the song.
If this is how every ad was My wallet would be emptier than it already is.
That was... amazing. I love the animation. Makes me so nostalgic of the eighties anime I grew up with as a child. The theme itself makes me want to jump into Star Citizen with a VR cockpit and blast off at light speed while engaging in a dogfight with another pilot. Thank you to everyone involved for making such an amazing end product.
This song literally could be an in universe tune about Origin or Crusader ships.
Someone tell me why we can't get more creations like this. It's just a work of art at every level.
Coming back to see more views each time is beautiful
THAT GURREN LAGANN REFERENCE IS ABSOLUTE PERFECTION!
I came here for this comment! It's fucking amazing!
I love the details; even the ending says the main character becomes a "Final Stage" bangyaru (female fan of Visual Kei, a genre of performance and music in Japan).
It also turns out that the Galactic Prince who gets her in the end was the same artist whose event she was late for in the beginning, as evidenced by the billboard @ 0:24
Absolute success for independent animation.
Ooh, I didn't notice that second part - nice catch!
wait, there was a story in this? I just saw a bunch of flashy scenes that dragged me back to childhood nostalgia.
@@Berstich Honestly, it's hard to say how much of it is real, and how much is just her imagination.
This song is pretty much a huge advert for a spaceship, but the subtext is that the young woman we're following is living a boring mundane life, and she's imagining how much more exciting her life could be if she had a cool spaceship, a dream that's actively being fueled by the advertisement. In practice, it's kind of like an extreme version of those luxury car commercials, that make it look and sound like buying it would turn your life around and fill it with adventure and romance.
Uhh. I started crying halfway through this video. This is absolutely gorgeous and the song just jams. Absolutely well done.
It took me so long to realize this is spoken as if the listener was buying a starship. Smooth sale, I'm sold 😉
I got here by accident and now I'm mad I didn't get here sooner. That was amazing.
This is the single most effective car commercial I've ever seen.
