what I really like about this animation is that they finally gave depth to characters that aren't just the main, each character had such a unique fighting style fitting to their personality and the back and forward tension was really good. It wasn't rendered as well and the start was a bit fast/confusing but this is one of the best if not the best animation since a long time.
"Noob" has such a neat combat style in this Especially love that he showed up to the "final boss fight" with an armful of weapons XD The way he manipulated the chains (sticking them to a wall with a sword, turning them to a tripping hazard) was pretty cool
Great debut animation by Zilleyon. Been a slower year from us, but got some more coming out this month + a big next year planned, so it shouldn't be so quiet from us. For those not in our Discord (Would recommend joining), Alex and Steve Adventures series finale is being worked on by Michael, should be early next year :D
Can minecraft dungeons mobs be in the animations like the arch illager in future I just asking and can herobrine return I think herobrine to be redemption in animation is herobrine pure evil tho
I wanna se your max skills fighting animation for real. Like one short video where you make it all completely flawless and perfect and never to keep up with in this century... Altho i gotta say it is really hard to define cuz really no one maked animations as masterful as you do❤❤❤
Derp's fighting style is unpredictable as I've observed, his unpredictability is one of the reasons why he is still alive, also because of the Goated *FISH* that is somehow still alive even without water.
Even without dialogue, I could tell the context and how the characters interact with each other. The tuning in their reactions, interactions and personality are great in this.
Not only that, the choreography, camera work, story writing and the obviously fluid animation is absolutely flawless. I’m glad to be able to stick to this content for so long.
I really like how derp got his own adventure and getting through alot in his character development, he can be a main character for any reasons, even his fish companion who just can breath air for unknown reason that i cant find rn
17:07 I like this silly moment here. The arena leader was like "Wtf. that derp guy won, against blondie? how does that happen?" . Lmao he was so confused hhahah
Derp's unpredictability when fighting is what makes him so unique, I liked how he stood on the brute's chains acting like he did that on accident Edit: And the chase sequences is so well animated and planned out that it makes me wish I was that talented and professional in animating
God. Zilleyon is so talented in making his animations feel weighty and powerful. This animation was truly incredible and felt extremely polished! You’ve absolutely outdone yourself for your first main animation Zilleyon.
honestly, i dont know what it was, but it really felt like i just watched a whole movie that was an hour long in one sitting, the characters felt so alive and the fighting movements were literally incredible, you guys really never fail to bring minecraft to life, ill always come back to this channel from time to time to appreciate every single moment of such amazing artists and work behind these, because this is what makes everything shine to its potential. just scrumptious job to everyone that has worked behind this. supremacy to derp as well
and one more thing, you guys literally never fail to portray the story and the characters interactions without any voice acting, its always so mesmerizing and you can tell of what theyre on about, its really awesome
@@expression9375like you can understand the characters personality and emotions and what they might be saying. I love how they use other stuff to express these things like in this video their fighting styles like derp Is a strong person but doubts himself the blonde girl is caring but tricky and all that very good job
@@Shrewstorm1exactly! this is what makes me inspired and of what makes me admire the people behind the animations and the productions, the characters need to be portrayed through feelings and when i say feelings i mean THE feels, you need to see it yourself through the screen and to, by any chance, make it relatable or so, for you to understand clearly of whats going on, which is also one of the main things what makes them shine and for the whole product to actually be good on its own, ive always loved whenever people focus on the little details when in reality they can be big indeed
So real, It was worth watching it and i was hyped with the Fights, This must be my most liked Minecraft Animation out of all of Black Plasma Studios (Squared Media)'s animations.
Man, not only does this remind me of old Minecraft animations, this literally is smooth, and a clear upgrade in animations since, AND I LOVE HOW DERP MAY NOT BE EXPERIENCED, AND HE’S CLUMSY, BUT HE HAS HAS A FISH BACKING HIM UP, CLEAR INTELLIGENCE, FRIENDSHIP, AND UNPREDICTABILITY, MOST IMPORTANTLY, A HEART OF GOLD, HE’S A LIVING WILD CARD, who not only just spare the enemies, he straight up incapacitates them if he’s forced, there wasn’t one single person he intentionally killed, and the ending, SUCH A CLEAN EXTRACTION FROM THE PLACE
I don't know if I would say that was the "best" fight animation from this channel. I mean, we still have Songs of War and Zombie Apocalypse to consider, but I will admit, this one is a strong contender.
The new combat style Zilleyon has brought to the team is incredible! I especially like the particle effects on weapon clashes & the lithe, fast-paced combat. The only (very slight) issue I noticed is that the background characters often have synced up animations (since the same animation was copy-pasted on multiple spectators). But some minor things are to be expected on a new director's first video. IMO this is one of the best animations Squared Media has released in a long time!
Congratulations to Zilleyon for getting to direct a Squared Media production! This is one of the few BPS animations I've watched where I really felt his animation style. When I heard that he had directed this, I knew I was in for a treat, but I didn't expect it to be such a cinematic masterpiece for a shorter production. Not only did every movement have fluidity, but weight and intention. The fight scenes in this were phenomenal, and you could really feel the difference in styles between characters. But their personalities showed even outside the arena, in just how they entered the room. Even the score was amazing and carried the weight of every moment. The shot composition and just how everything all fit together was perfect. This had SoW and Starfall vibes, and it didn't even have voice acting.
Once I would say Derp wasn't skilled to fight, that was incompetent and just the funny member... Now damn he's a real skilled warrior! Love what my boy become 💪🗿
It’s not even that he’s a skilled warrior he’s a decent fighter but what Makes him win these sorts of battles is his Strategy’s and his fish of course if y’all know sword4000 you should know he’s not the best PvP player but he heavily relies on battle iq and strategy’s which is how he gets very far in his events same for derp
Probably my favorite thing about these animations is how they can tell an entire deeply written and lore filled story without the use of a single line of dialogue. Keep up the great work
I really love the fact that after all this time, you can still make your animations look so good! I would say my favorite part was where the noob's newest friend was able to split his double sided blade into 2 so that he could have double the weapons. No joke, but this is one of my more favorite animations from the recent category I've ever seen.
Besides the AMAZING animation, I really love the way that four of the fighters survived and not just Derp. I was devastated when the blond guy was eliminated but thanks to the director, he and his three other friends escaped in the end.
It never ceases to impress me how much you guys put into each video. the quality keeps getting better and better!! Also that continuous shot through the caves as they escape is just.. chefs kiss. perfection. I'd love to see these characters continue!
This animation is so smooth, it's like Disney quality smooth. Honestly really well done coz ik how hard it is to animate minecraft characters. Keep animating and I look forward to further videos 😊
I cannot stop rewatching the part where Derp utilized everything he had in his disposal to get a very satisfying blow (and sound) straight to the head of the Gladiator Nevertheless, the animation is so well made, especially the fight scenes because of how they have this weighty feel to have this impact of the weapon mixed with the fantastic fighting choreography Moreover, each character had so much personality and a unique fighting style exclusive to them displayed in this video. Hands down, one of my favourite Squared Media videos
Thats why Derp is my favorite character. Although he looks, well weird, he is extremelly smart and resourceful. He makes use of literally everything, and this fight alone proves that he is one of the greatest characters in squared media.
That might have just been THE best Deep movie yet. Storyline is very compelling and the fighting animations are so crisp and fluid! :D Absolutely splendid work.
Terrific job by Zilleyon himself! It's so awesome seeing his talent over the years coming together for this animation, hands down some his best work yet. Though the fights were the highlight, the other elements like composition, music and sound and the story itself was also really well done. Great that you managed to balance the action with story beats and character focus so you can actually get invested in the characters themselves, something that was refreshing to see. Congratulations on becoming a director Zilleyon, I'm so keen to see your future projects and what other stories you tell!
Gotta say, this is probably the best animation you guys have put out in a while (Other than the Alex and Steve Finale). The characters were really well put together, there was weight and suspense, and the animation took itself seriously which I REALLY appreciated. The fight scenes were excellently animated and put together. I wish the escape itself was more fleshed out and you felt the suspense and struggle of trying to escape the arena (though I loved the one-shot through the cave). You seem to have a cinematic eye, please continue directing animations Zilleyon. Also I hope this turns out into a trilogy. The second focusing on a bounty hunter chasing after them or the necromancer. The third with the main bad guy and his army. Thanks for listening to my Ted talk. 9.5/10 REALLY REALLY GOOD
I love the main cast here, all effectively visually characterized which is an incredible feat, Great job Zilleyon We have our og, Derp, an initially underestimated but actually very experienced fighter(has endured several apocalypses with combat skill and quick thinking alone), so much so he can spare enemies with ease. This compassion is also what helps him get out the arena and escape The best friend, the Sleep Deprived one, an ultimately decent sociable guy with a good moral code and sense of honor, also sparing those he could. Also extremely skilled, he would have likely beaten the Hammer Champion if he saw through his opponent’s “challenge” mid ways in the fight as a deception to win. And even then he probably planned that out to ease the escape and got him able to freely get Derp out too The Green eyed great sword guy, a very smart man also decent guy, skilled and kind enough to spare his enemies. He appears to have been there awhile, but used that time effectively to eventually plan his escape, capable of utilizing the Murder Girl’s own reputation and some good acting to fake his own death and then secure both an escape route with time to get friends out And Murder Girl, similarly to the Green eyed guy, has been there awhile. However she seems resigned to her life there, likely killing her opponents to spare them from becoming monsters alive, and living without a care in the arena because she and everyone else will likely die at any time. However she hold no lost love for her captors and is trying to survive like everyone else. She seems to hold a sense of honor as well, coming back to save Derp likely due to him sparing her and she escapes fine for repaying him
A few small corrections on that. Green eyed guy was with blond haired guy two days before this happened so not that long. Two, the thing at the beginning looks like green eyed guy and blond haired girl arrived around the same time(considering it looks exactly like what derp and blond haired guy did) so she probably hasn’t been there that long. Three, I kind of doubt any of them knew about the getting turned into zombies part. Still pretty good analysis though.
I really liked the derps side of his mercifulness and the fighting, the fighting really is detailed, I loved the fighting the most. Make more fighting scenes (especially with swords).
I've learnt today to never judge others by their looks! This has to by far be one of the best animations I've seen here, the fighting is really great and each of the character's personality are very cool and fitting and you can understand what each character is "saying" even if they don't talk.
Really epic animation Zilleyon! The fights are super cool and impactful and the music choices are really good! The ending feels really intense and cool. Epic work and congrats for being promoted to director, you really deserve it with this amount of talent in animation! Excited to see what other stuff you'll make for this channel.
Still after 8 months this is still really amazing to watch love it hope we can have something else like this in another animation and i always come back
Absolutely amazing, I was in awe after Derp's fight with the girl and even more after during the Derp vs Knight fight, Zilleyon just brings the fight to life, and for his first video I have to say this is easily the best animation I've seen on this channel in a long time, not that the others aren't good, but the clashes, particles, and the way the warriors flow with their weapons is just amazing, 11/10, please keep Zilleyon on the team, and keep up the amazing work.
I loved the animation and the choreography. The movements for the people with the bladed weapons were fluid almost like a dance fitting considering how some of them were used while the big guy holding the hammer was stiff which fit's well with what he is using and I love how deep's movements looked almost sluggish and uncoordinated showing that he has little combat experience but over time he gets better and better. I also liked that girl with the blades, her mouth looked like it's was doing the 'OwO' face which was cute but the way it was drawn was a little weird but still cute also I liked how the way her mouth moved it made her look like cute, sadistic and seductive at the same time.
this was sooooooo good the fight scenes the story,music,character designs,plot,twists everything was top notch .by far this is the BEST MINECRAFT ANIMATION STUDIO
Arbiter617 would be proud of Derp for this. Not only did he survive all the challenges of the Arena, he managed to beat it to the end, then escape with his new friends.
The storyboard and cameraangles were amazing. The faces and arms show more emotion which is important when there is no dialogue and something about that girl's face is intentionally seductive.
A very well done masterpiece, The best fight animation I've ever seen in Minecraft Animation History Congratulating Zilleyon and Squared Media for this awesome masterpiece!! You guys are epic!
This is the best video you guys have made since the rebrand, and it's a good deal better than a lot of the OG Black Plasma videos too! Listen to the praise in the comments; it's true. I could nitpick about the speed at which you changed camera angles during slower or faster portions of the story, or a bit of obscurity in the story itself - but a bit of genius covers a lot of flaws. Blockmen have never had so much personality. Good work, Zilleyon. Don't be afraid to take your time to make videos of this quality. Also that moment where the guy snapped his doubleblade in half was legendary
I love how each character has a purpose, depth, and all unique. They don't feel like they are filling in an empty spot but, in fact, are part of the story. We have been given the chance to know each character and therefore have something on the line when they are in the arena. The story telling alone makes this the best animation all year, and we haven't even spoken about the insane quality of the animation itself along with the composition, lighting, and sound design. Everything is just perfect.
Dans mon esprit tout divague, je me perds dans tes yeux Je me noie dans la vague de ton regard amoureux Je ne veux que ton âme divaguant sur ma peau Une fleur, une femme dans ton cœur Roméo Je ne suis que ton nom, le souffle lancinant De nos corps dans le sombre animés lentement
Honestly literally the best i have seen so far that i seen from you guys, I mean I don't think I even need to mention the indebt fighting style owned by each character but my favorite part was that the first time ever I witnessed an uwu face in black plasma studio animations (squared media) really hats off to you!💜!
Man that was incredible. The way they fight, the graphics, the history, all things was incredibly good. Good job man, I really wanna see a part 2 of this with such fights. Great job continu in what you're doing, it will make you a famous animator
THIS IS SO GOOD!! I'm glad the channel is still thriving as usual. I've recently just gotten back to playing minecraft, and of course I just had to revisit my favorite minecraft animation channel.
I remember being super impressed with zilleyons songs of war fight scenes, really cool to see him direct his own animations. Reminds me of the og animations like survival games
Amazing, love every aspect of this video it felt real because of how each character was unique and has their own personalities and fighting style. This was very entertaining and fun to watch pls make more like this
I have to commend Zilleyon on the absolutely fantastic music and sound effects in this animation. The music really drew me into the story and fitted the characters and scene well and the well defined sound effects of the clashing weapons immersed me into the scene as if i was in the colosseum. I also love the style of animation that has no voice, just showing the depth of the characters with facial expressions and body language and occational hinting text.
Phenomenal as always! Even if the wait for your videos is long it is always amply rewarded. Truly gripping story and perfectly understandable even without a single spoken word and amazing animations! Pure quality! 👏
13:52 IT'S SO SAD THAT HOW THEY ARE KEPT TOGETHER TO BE EMOTIONALLY ATTACHED WITH EACH OTHER AND THEN ON THE BATTLE FIELD TO BE EMOTIONALL AND PHYSICALLY DESTROYED AND HOW THEY LOOKED AT EACH OTHER'S EYES BEFORE THE FIGHT THINKING ABOUT THAT WE WERE SIT WITH EACH OTHER JUST LIKE FRIENDS AND NOW WE ARE ENEMIES
Squared Media also evolved into something new. How long has it been since we saw such exciting animation? This video definitely captivated us. very nice technology
what I really like about this animation is that they finally gave depth to characters that aren't just the main, each character had such a unique fighting style fitting to their personality and the back and forward tension was really good. It wasn't rendered as well and the start was a bit fast/confusing but this is one of the best if not the best animation since a long time.
Agreed 💯
Agreed 💯
I do agree with you on that. Haven't seen a good animation from the Squared Media in like half a year
Looks like derp can use any weapons like a knight, making him unstoppable.
Derp It's always there
I love how derp's fighting style has a clumsiness to it, he's like that one player who unintentionally does cool stuff.
It's more like a go with the flow fighting style for me
Free style fight style to shorten it
It called Luck
@@code066funkinbird3Maybe, but remember that derp is secretly a pro and that he have somehow experience with the guns
When he turn to serious mode he gonna destroy his enemy
"Noob" has such a neat combat style in this
Especially love that he showed up to the "final boss fight" with an armful of weapons XD
The way he manipulated the chains (sticking them to a wall with a sword, turning them to a tripping hazard) was pretty cool

However she seems resigned to her life there, likely killing her opponents to spare them from becoming monsters alive, and living without a care in the arena because she and everyone else will likely die at any time. However she hold no lost love for her captors and is trying to survive like everyone else. She seems to hold a sense of honor as well, coming back to save Derp likely due to him sparing her and she escapes fine for repaying him
A few small corrections on that. Green eyed guy was with blond haired guy two days before this happened so not that long. Two, the thing at the beginning looks like green eyed guy and blond haired girl arrived around the same time(considering it looks exactly like what derp and blond haired guy did) so she probably hasn’t been there that long. Three, I kind of doubt any of them knew about the getting turned into zombies part. Still pretty good analysis though.
I really liked the derps side of his mercifulness and the fighting, the fighting really is detailed, I loved the fighting the most. Make more fighting scenes (especially with swords).
Weapon animations WITH individual personalities go crazy. This has to be my favorite animation from Squared Media so far.
I've learnt today to never judge others by their looks! This has to by far be one of the best animations I've seen here, the fighting is really great and each of the character's personality are very cool and fitting and you can understand what each character is "saying" even if they don't talk.
All the sound effects, effects, and music too. They were all stunning. There were also such adorable moments!! also the transitions lmao...
Really epic animation Zilleyon! The fights are super cool and impactful and the music choices are really good! The ending feels really intense and cool. Epic work and congrats for being promoted to director, you really deserve it with this amount of talent in animation! Excited to see what other stuff you'll make for this channel.
Still after 8 months this is still really amazing to watch love it hope we can have something else like this in another animation and i always come back
That was great, derps back, the movements are so good and the music is perfect
Absolutely amazing, I was in awe after Derp's fight with the girl and even more after during the Derp vs Knight fight, Zilleyon just brings the fight to life, and for his first video I have to say this is easily the best animation I've seen on this channel in a long time, not that the others aren't good, but the clashes, particles, and the way the warriors flow with their weapons is just amazing, 11/10, please keep Zilleyon on the team, and keep up the amazing work.
This is the most epic thing I've seen so far this year!! It's just ingeniously and coolly done and these fight scenes are epic.
I loved the animation and the choreography. The movements for the people with the bladed weapons were fluid almost like a dance fitting considering how some of them were used while the big guy holding the hammer was stiff which fit's well with what he is using and I love how deep's movements looked almost sluggish and uncoordinated showing that he has little combat experience but over time he gets better and better. I also liked that girl with the blades, her mouth looked like it's was doing the 'OwO' face which was cute but the way it was drawn was a little weird but still cute also I liked how the way her mouth moved it made her look like cute, sadistic and seductive at the same time.
Who is she?
@@Quamblee the girl I am refiring to is the girl who escaped with durpe who she is and what is her name I do not know
Yeah I want to know blonde girl
(She is seductive hehehe) 😏
Therapist:💀
Zilleyon's fight scenes are some of the best I've seen. Great animation
this was sooooooo good the fight scenes the story,music,character designs,plot,twists everything was top notch .by far this is the BEST MINECRAFT ANIMATION STUDIO
Awesome job Zilleyon! Congratulations on becoming a director :D
So much detail and personality in those fights! Now I need to rewatch everything 1000 times frame by frame and take notes 📝
where and what happened to bloopers?
One of your greatest animations. That last fight with Derp was amazingly thought out. LOVE the creativity here.
Incredible Zilleyon! congrats on director! well deserved, absolutely amazing!!
Arbiter617 would be proud of Derp for this. Not only did he survive all the challenges of the Arena, he managed to beat it to the end, then escape with his new friends.
The battles in this animation make fights in series like Animation Life, Battle Royale or even part of Song of War look like noob fights.
The storyboard and cameraangles were amazing. The faces and arms show more emotion which is important when there is no dialogue and something about that girl's face is intentionally seductive.
ı miss black plasma studios
Yeah me too
same here😢
Me too
Wait.. Did I miss something?
@@Calix_Beowolfyes you did.
Blud was carrying that fish since 2012 🔥🔥🔥
ik you stole this from that one comment
bro he might not have stolen this be mindful
You went above and beyond on this Zilleyon. I havn't been this blown away in a long time.
OMG THESE FIGHT SCENES ARE GORGEOUS!!!!!!! Congrats, Zilleyon, on making full director! Can't wait to see what you do in the future.
I always look forward to your videos! 🎉 Thank you for creating such high-quality and insightful content. You’re an inspiration!
A very well done masterpiece, The best fight animation I've ever seen in Minecraft Animation History
Congratulating Zilleyon and Squared Media for this awesome masterpiece!!
You guys are epic!
i love this story, and it is so impressive that this whole story is told in a beautiful way without anyone talking in the story.
Is this like a one part story, or will they made more parts? Bc the ending looks like a teaser
idk@@sh1niii
amazing! the animation, face expressions! omg, its already enough to make me sub to this channel!
This is the best video you guys have made since the rebrand, and it's a good deal better than a lot of the OG Black Plasma videos too! Listen to the praise in the comments; it's true. I could nitpick about the speed at which you changed camera angles during slower or faster portions of the story, or a bit of obscurity in the story itself - but a bit of genius covers a lot of flaws. Blockmen have never had so much personality. Good work, Zilleyon. Don't be afraid to take your time to make videos of this quality.
Also that moment where the guy snapped his doubleblade in half was legendary
I love how each character has a purpose, depth, and all unique. They don't feel like they are filling in an empty spot but, in fact, are part of the story. We have been given the chance to know each character and therefore have something on the line when they are in the arena. The story telling alone makes this the best animation all year, and we haven't even spoken about the insane quality of the animation itself along with the composition, lighting, and sound design. Everything is just perfect.
I love it how Derp uses all of his friend's weapons to honor all of their sacrifices
One of the best fight animations done by squared media 🔥🔥 🗿
Guards: Sir everyone are escape
Leader: There is nothing we can do
Dans mon esprit tout divague, je me perds dans tes yeux
Je me noie dans la vague de ton regard amoureux
Je ne veux que ton âme divaguant sur ma peau
Une fleur, une femme dans ton cœur Roméo
Je ne suis que ton nom, le souffle lancinant
De nos corps dans le sombre animés lentement
the last escape was literally georgeous
Gotta admit 12:27 & 12:28 the girl is cute. Good job animating the emotions with such little amount of polygons.
You cute
This made me feel like a kid again. While I do still like newer SQM, this was like the magic of 2017 BPS all over again. Great job Zilleyon! -Tun
the best animation so far 🔥🔥
Honestly literally the best i have seen so far that i seen from you guys, I mean I don't think I even need to mention the indebt fighting style owned by each character but my favorite part was that the first time ever I witnessed an uwu face in black plasma studio animations (squared media) really hats off to you!💜!
Absolutely loved this! Fast paced action suits Minecraft perfectly, who knew? Thanks for bringing this to us!!
Man that was incredible. The way they fight, the graphics, the history, all things was incredibly good. Good job man, I really wanna see a part 2 of this with such fights. Great job continu in what you're doing, it will make you a famous animator
THIS IS SO GOOD!!
I'm glad the channel is still thriving as usual.
I've recently just gotten back to playing minecraft, and of course I just had to revisit my favorite minecraft animation channel.
I remember being super impressed with zilleyons songs of war fight scenes, really cool to see him direct his own animations. Reminds me of the og animations like survival games
the fight scenes were so sick, character design and development were really good as well
Amazing, love every aspect of this video it felt real because of how each character was unique and has their own personalities and fighting style. This was very entertaining and fun to watch pls make more like this
This is truly a gem of an animation! Way to go Zilleyon you never fail to deliver an edge of your seat experience!
I rlly love the soundtrack! It makes the whole animation come together nicely
i love the new style of animation, its a bit different then previous ones and honestly looks cool asf
I physically like how the characters fight in the desert arena making me excited of this amazing video made by squared media
The combo of the fish and a shield is a nice little hint of what derp is truly capable of pulling off
The best animation 😍 Derp Cool 🤣
0:37 This look at the dead bush reminded me of so many memories...
21 minutes of literal goosebumps, I loved every second of it. The animation is so good and there’s so much depth in the action
анимацыя абалдеть
I have to commend Zilleyon on the absolutely fantastic music and sound effects in this animation. The music really drew me into the story and fitted the characters and scene well and the well defined sound effects of the clashing weapons immersed me into the scene as if i was in the colosseum.
I also love the style of animation that has no voice, just showing the depth of the characters with facial expressions and body language and occational hinting text.
15:37 best Transition ever 🤩👍🏻
This was a great animation and i love how derp was unwittingly being awsome.
Phenomenal as always! Even if the wait for your videos is long it is always amply rewarded. Truly gripping story and perfectly understandable even without a single spoken word and amazing animations!
Pure quality! 👏
Wow, this is great, Thanks a lot to your entire team for your efforts and the soul you put into each animation.
13:52 IT'S SO SAD THAT HOW THEY ARE KEPT TOGETHER TO BE EMOTIONALLY ATTACHED WITH EACH OTHER AND THEN ON THE BATTLE FIELD TO BE EMOTIONALL AND PHYSICALLY DESTROYED AND HOW THEY LOOKED AT EACH OTHER'S EYES BEFORE THE FIGHT THINKING ABOUT THAT WE WERE SIT WITH EACH OTHER JUST LIKE FRIENDS AND NOW WE ARE ENEMIES
Squared Media also evolved into something new. How long has it been since we saw such exciting animation? This video definitely captivated us. very nice technology
Bro the end was so good the derp guy was learned to sword fight and even brings WW2 song
Also I love how he looks like he is about to fall over from exhaustion but turns into a total badass 7:50
This was absolutely amazing! Zilleyon knocked it out of the park with this one!
