I love how, the directness of the adaption makes every scene a bit awkward and surreal, but that level of faithfulness inofitself actually adds to the experience
I love the small detail of the miner Elsen holding his head while getting stressed about having to let the Batter into the smoke mines considering that high stress can lead to becoming Burnt, and Burnt Elsen having the key distinction of a geyser for a head
Ow the Batter's voice actor is not the same as previously, and I think that honestly, it is more "clear" like that. Great work !!! The effects are rad !!!
@@lysotroph Nonetheless, the French dub made by him worth it and is actually great ! However, he is just not enough prepared to dub an English animation, and the current voice actor fit better to the animation ; it is more "professional"
I would critique the voice actors' performances in almost any other place, but i feel like for this case, the acting really does add to the feel of the episode. It really does capture the off-putting and disorienting vibes that Off gives off, in my opinion. This was absolutely amazing in pretty much every regard, especially considering the fact that this was made by one person over the course of a few months. Props to you, and good luck with this series!! It's already shaping up to be amazing.
I'm truly glad OFF is getting a series, and that the fandom is alive 💜 Edit: may I say I adore Batter's voice now? And the Elsens are just so adorable 😭 Perfect job on this one!
@@suethemarysue4969 oh yeah, it hit it's peak popularity way back in '13 when it got an english translation. It's been around since '08 though, originally just in french. It's sorta faded into obscurity since then, but it still has it's die hard fans here and there. I thought the fandom was completely dead, personally.
The Elsens sounded so freaking adorable!! The batter sounded cool and nonchalant. Dedan sounded like how I'd imagine him to sound too!! And the animation when he fought the specters was smooth!!! I can't wait for episode 3 👀
Can't wait to find out how Elsens will sound like Edit: It turned out amazing! I love how you nailed how uneasy they are. Overall, the voiceacting in this episode was phenomenal, keep up the good work guys!
Is it just me or did OFF fall under the radar for most people, I mean it had it all, good storytelling, memorable characters, unique atmosphere, wonderful music, an amazing battle system and a shocking twist. In my opinion OFF is a hidden gem, I am indeed saddened that there will never be a sequel, or at least something in the same universe.
I’ve never played off but had a phase where I was really interested in it and finding this animator is the best thing to come from that. These animations are phenomenal
BRUH THE VOICE ACTING WAS BRILIANT, the fights with the ghosts end quickly but Im fine with that, and the Elsens voice could have been just a little bit higher but other than that it was perfect. It captures the atmosphere of zone one perfectly and also has a pretty interesting take on Dedans design, loved it , would love to see more
boi I didn't even played the game but if the first ep was cool, *_imagine the second_* edit: okay, now I will play the game, it's not my choice, _the player is controlling me_
i’m really loving the portrayal of the fight scenes. they’re paced a bit short, but i understand that there’s only so much a single animator can do. despite that though the visuals are fantastic, with the movement and the way the specters interact with the bat! i especially love the way the add-on moves and positions itself behind the batter too
Really hype for this one Edited after watching: Honestly I wish the Zacharie's voice was Mortis Ghost himself, because he is the one who made the Zacharie's meow. But well anyway, anything of what you're doing is amazing Tan Blaque. Awesome animation and you deserve more attention.
Well duh you two. It's not in this animation. It's a request or wish, not an opinion about this animation. If Tan Blaque does put Zacharie in this adaptation, Zacharie's voice should be Mortis himself.
@@chameleoncham3911 yeah that’s true but Mortis did watch one of the episodes so maybe there might be a chance? I know it’s unlikely but it would be nice to see.
I allways think that my OFF phase ended, then this chanel posts something and i'm hooked again. I guess it isn't a phase because after all this time people still keep coming back to it. Loving the animations!!
Honestly, the only thing that would make this series more uneasy would be changing "Player" to "Viewers". Since we are not playing Batter, but watching him instead. That would make final payoff extra juicy.
I found you through your OFF animation compilation a few months ago and I was so HYPED that you made a teaser for an off series. The animation is so clean too. I was so excited when the first episode was released and I’m SO happy the video actually ended up gaining attraction. I think some really old OFF fans have come back thanks to this series! Keep up the amazing work! I cant wait for the premier.
8:19 - Batter baring big bad booty bouta bash a buncha brains to bits. 11:57 - Also, this move was sick! Also, also, while there's nothing intrinsically wrong with the fight scenes, might I suggest requesting some folks from Hyun's Dojo as consultants?
I didn't know about the revival, i've been meaning to get into it for a while, one day a friend asked me to get into it, and i had time, so I was like "ok" and watched Markiplier play it. This is the first I've heard of a revival, I'm elated by this.
Great episode! In my opinion, a big improvement over the first episode! My only critique is with the music. Specifically, the usage of Pepper Steak. I was really looking forward to hearing it being used for the first time, but having a quiet fade-in transition was very anti-climatic for my taste. I would recommend cutting the music in as a kind of "beat drop", and maybe even syncing up some of the animation to the music! Besides that mild criticism, I will add that I love the animation quality! All the characters stay on model, and the movement is very fluid! The Battling animations definitely show your more than amazing skills as an animator! I can only see this series continuing to get better as time goes on. Thank you for making this wonderful animation!
I know it's been a really long time, but I would really really REALLY like a new episode, episode 3. Because as long as even one person is present, the fandom should be considered alive. AND I'M HERE !!!
I’m so excited for this, I will edit this after I’ve watched it Edit: o boy did I love this :0, I ended up finishing it two days later just bc I got busy but I loved the animation and voice acting. I hope to see more episodes. Also I really liked the use of colors in some scenes. overall just great :)
I absolutely love what you did with the zone 1 Elsens, though admittedly I'm simultaneously scared of what you're gonna do with zone 3 Elsens. Keep it up, I'm hella excited for this series
I am two years late, but these were so impressive! I was feeling some Off nostalgia and ended up on the first one, and they were really enjoyable--well animated, well acted, and well edited. Thank you for sharing this amazing project!
Maybe it’s because I was having a really shitty day today but I adore this animation. It looks like you took everyone’s ideas into consideration, too! Really good voice actors and a great job capturing the feel of the first zone. Always impressed by your animation skills, from one animator to another. This was fantastic, I can’t wait to see more!
God I'm so obsessed with all of it... The amount of sass The Batter is holding plz 😭✋lovin' it. Everything is so authentic just like the game itself. Gosh it feels good to be alive and able to witness this
𝑶𝑲 the improvements from episode 1 are *very* noticeable, it's ŧɇɍɍɨfɏɨnǥ to think you improved that much in such a short timespan. This easily went from great animation to almost god tier animation.

I think my timestamp at 1:48 is the most important, these scenic shots where you pan the characters out of the picture gives you an opportunity to admire how beautiful the setting is, please add just a few more of these in between lesser important dialogue. *(Think of it like your the photographer and you want to switch angles and take shots of scenes and objects too like a worker hat)*
Man...the quality has grown significantly since the first episode, i love how you're turning this amazing game into an animated series, it's such an amazing idea, and i hope youcan complete it
absolutely stunning, this episode really shines bright with the animation quality and voice acting and everything!! I squealed at Dedans reveal too, the elsen are SOO cute
i absolutely love your designs for the elsens, they look so danm harmless and cuddly, but then you get to the end of zone 1 and you kinda just- but heck these little dudes are adorable! look at his LEGS Man! There so LONK! its fricken adorable, makes me wanna jump into the game and kidnap one of them! Or like just have a plush of ehm? once i get better at sewing ive gotta make one !
This was honestly pretty great! The animation was just as good as the first episode and the voice acting seems a bit better! I'm honestly glad that you don't hang too long on the random enemy fights, as it keeps it nice and snappy! All in all, very good time and can't wait for more! Hope you have a good day, afternoon, evening, or whenever you're reading this! (Also, the live chat was honestly neat and I was happy to find others who enjoyed the Ballville section!)
I've been waiting for this since you posted the post with the date 😔💖 I adore the dedication and love that you put into each animation I also love the voices, everyone is doing a great job, the fandom appreciates it 💖💖💖
i have just recently gotten back into the OFF vibe and to see someone is making a animation series off the game still to this day is shocking in a very good way. i can not wait for the next episodes
I know this has been a while ago and that probably nobody will see this comment, but I just want to say thank you for this phenomenal animation! The voices actor for the Elsens did a wonderful job, and I love how creative yet faithful this animation is with OFF. The animation is extremely smooth and I love the different angles of certain scenes, especially the battles. One of animations that recently got me into OFF, although it seems that most of the fandom has moved on or gone dormant. Good job on the amazing work! I hope we can see an Episode 3 but if not that’s ok too.
this was fucking beautiful, I love the love and dedication that you are putting into this project and that is to be admired I hope you can complete this project 100%
this is clearly such a labor of love, and as an old OFF fan myself it makes my heart feel so full! These two episodes are such a beautiful depiction - and the combat scenes?? that's like exactly how you fill it in with you mind when you're playing a game. you've done fantastic with this
This episode is awesome! The colours are beautiful, battle animations are smooth and the audio is of significantly better quality than in the first one. I also like the new batter's voice. I think it suits him more. Such a great job! to all who participated in the making of this. Please, keep it up!
This is so well animated! The background is simple yet beautiful, and your art style It's amazing! The batter looks great, you make my day, good sir, there is not much new content of OFF these days, so this is perfect to fill the boid. Keep up the good work!
that awkward moment when you ask a random dude to clear the ghosts out of your barn and he decides to murder your boss afterward
Lol
Damn if Dedan was my boss I would gladly let them kill them.
We're safe...
*but at what cost*
man, I just HATE IT when this happens at my job 😩
He also- wait no spoilers.
the "yes" "no" answers from the batter had me rolling
The Batter is always to the point...
Glad they stay true to the game, those are actually the Batters responses.
It always had me laugh also, just imagine in a monotone voice,
*”Yes”*
*“Yes”*
*“No”*
*“No”*
I can't wait I just can't wait for the ever devastating "Don't do that."
I see they changed the Batter's VA. I actually didn't mind the original's but this guy's performance definitely knocks it out the park.
EYYYYYYYYYYYYY baseball pun
Guess you could say it was a home run

Hey there
I love how, the directness of the adaption makes every scene a bit awkward and surreal, but that level of faithfulness inofitself actually adds to the experience
Off itself is rather awkward and surreal itself so losing that would be a bit of a problem
This poor stressed Elsen is just like ‘can you go back to fighting spectres and PLEASE don’t kill my boss’
I love the small detail of the miner Elsen holding his head while getting stressed about having to let the Batter into the smoke mines considering that high stress can lead to becoming Burnt, and Burnt Elsen having the key distinction of a geyser for a head

The Batter was taught more fluent English by the Judge.
We’re they the voice everyone hated? If so that sucks I didn’t think they were bad at all.
He sounds like Jotaro Kujo
- Fluid animation
- Entrancing atmosphere
- Lovely voice-acting
- Great subtle world-building and storytelling
- *ELECTRO SWING*
That's an 18/10 for me!

I want to hear how deep will Enoch sound if already Dedan sounds menacing
Hes obviously gonna sound like a mafia boss.
I hope the series gets extended, I'm just hoping for a Gilbert Godfrey take markiplier did

The Judge is perfection. The whole thing is great, but that's exactly the best voice and tone for that creature.

Hopefully in the next episode he might appear (?
Thats exactly how i imagine the Elsens would speak like. and just like first episode. this one is as good as that one.
Omg I feel like Imma have a heart attack I T I S T I M E
Any and all combat is great
absolutely stunning, this episode really shines bright with the animation quality and voice acting and everything!! I squealed at Dedans reveal too, the elsen are SOO cute
i absolutely love your designs for the elsens, they look so danm harmless and cuddly, but then you get to the end of zone 1 and you kinda just- but heck these little dudes are adorable! look at his LEGS Man! There so LONK! its fricken adorable, makes me wanna jump into the game and kidnap one of them! Or like just have a plush of ehm? once i get better at sewing ive gotta make one !
I can’t wait to see the Burnt Elsen in this series.
your fight scenes are amazing to watch! and i love how the whispering of the empty faded into sounds of rain- so cool!
This was honestly pretty great!
The animation was just as good as the first episode and the voice acting seems a bit better!
I'm honestly glad that you don't hang too long on the random enemy fights, as it keeps it nice and snappy!
All in all, very good time and can't wait for more!
Hope you have a good day, afternoon, evening, or whenever you're reading this!
(Also, the live chat was honestly neat and I was happy to find others who enjoyed the Ballville section!)
I've been waiting for this since you posted the post with the date 😔💖
I adore the dedication and love that you put into each animation I also love the voices, everyone is doing a great job, the fandom appreciates it 💖💖💖
I miss good ol days where all I did was obsesse over and draw OFF characters in class, and this hits that nostalgia, can't wait to see more
MAN THIS IS GOOD STUFF... I wish more people liked OFF, such a great game
Batter: I must beat the ever living crap out of him.
Worker: Nononono please don't
Batter: ...K. I will beat the every dead crap out of him.
I'm so glad that even though I discovered this game literally 13 years late, there's still a fanbase to be a part of here
i have just recently gotten back into the OFF vibe and to see someone is making a animation series off the game still to this day is shocking in a very good way. i can not wait for the next episodes
If this project was still going, I wouldn't mind voicing Japhet or something like that
I can't wait till Zacharie shows!
Im so in love with this depiction of the batter
I know this has been a while ago and that probably nobody will see this comment, but I just want to say thank you for this phenomenal animation! The voices actor for the Elsens did a wonderful job, and I love how creative yet faithful this animation is with OFF. The animation is extremely smooth and I love the different angles of certain scenes, especially the battles. One of animations that recently got me into OFF, although it seems that most of the fandom has moved on or gone dormant. Good job on the amazing work! I hope we can see an Episode 3 but if not that’s ok too.
I'm glad that the batter has a much fitting voice. I really LOVED this episode, the action scenes were as perfect as all the animation, thank you.
i really love how you draw the elsens, they look so squishable :)
man i love these off animations, truly captures the game environment and story
this was fucking beautiful, I love the love and dedication that you are putting into this project and that is to be admired I hope you can complete this project 100%
this is clearly such a labor of love, and as an old OFF fan myself it makes my heart feel so full! These two episodes are such a beautiful depiction - and the combat scenes?? that's like exactly how you fill it in with you mind when you're playing a game. you've done fantastic with this
Amazing!! I would love to watch the 3rd episode! I hope you're gonna keep on doing this until the end of the game!
This episode is awesome! The colours are beautiful, battle animations are smooth and the audio is of significantly better quality than in the first one. I also like the new batter's voice. I think it suits him more. Such a great job! to all who participated in the making of this. Please, keep it up!
This is so well animated! The background is simple yet beautiful, and your art style It's amazing! The batter looks great, you make my day, good sir, there is not much new content of OFF these days, so this is perfect to fill the boid.
Keep up the good work!
