Can you tell I like making music? XD Hey guys, hope you're all doing well. As you can see from the teaser at the end, the next short is going to be...very, VERY juicy. I'm gonna start working on it right away, half the script is already done. After that, it will be time for Elden Ring... I'm excited, but also...scared. I know it's going to be a huge undertaking. So my hope...is to FINALLY have the help of my assistant. But I need your help too. I dread the idea of torturing myself with an immense amount of work and also make you wait for it a lot. That's why these shorts have been such a breath of fresh air. Thus, if you want to help me get to the next level, please do consider joining my other supporters on Patreon. A single dollar could really change my career, I mean that. No pressure though, only if you have the possibility.
@@Shezmen88 i watched your videos for awhile now and it's always been such a fun ride and the style is always on point heh And i'm not the only thinking that so let's go!!!
Out of all the little details...The one infinitely spinning bone in the graveyard is my personal favorite. The legends still say that the first bone spun in the first playthrough of Dark Souls is still going to this day. It outlasted even the First Flame and likely powers both the worlds of Bloodborne and Elden Ring. Right after that comes Crocomire because even the most momentary references to Metroid make me smile. Guess we know what Samus was up to after blasting Sister Friede into a puddle for you...

1:41 Pretty sure that's the money bag you drop when you die in Shovel Knight 2:22 That's the idol Indiana Jones swipes at the start of Raiders of the Lost Ark 4:00 ...that *might* be a reference to the Hunter's Dream from Bloodborne, but I'm not sure 5:05 Boss music from Zelda Ocarina of Time 5:27 This is from that one N64 game with the skeleton mafia, I think (I did some research, called Grim Fandango)
First time i've seen our protagonist actually have epic moments. Usually he gets kicked around a lot, often falling on his face. But here, he actually fights back and stands up for himself- i'm so proud of him. I don't even need to express the 10 / 10 animation and comedy, that's a given. I just love the character progression overall.
That Matrix joke, unexpected yet so good. Seriously thought, you've come such a long way, it's not just a retelling of the games events and easter egg hunt, you added so much more personality, the comedy gets better and better, the quality, (the waiting time hehe) , and it's all so worth it. You're awesome
@@greyfish3586 fun fact i spent more time on gwyn than ornstein and smough. I had to look up a guide on how to beat him because i didn't knew you had to parry him. (Lame boss smh)
you know alot of animation channels from my teenage years have stopped making animations im just glad you're still making animations man, i hope one day you're videos are noticed even more
Thank you so much for having me on, Matt! I've admired your work for a long time and so it was an honor to work with you ❤️. Looking forward to your future projects.
Man I would pay for a full series of this show...start at DS for season 1 and work all the way to Elden Ring...6-8episodes per season about 20-30min each. It would be amazing and hilarious done in your style... couldn't be anything but a smash hit! Keep up the good work and thank you!
One of the best animations, all are great. and with a lot of references, I started playing Dark Souls 4 weeks ago and it reminds me of every step I took. Thank you, just, thank you.
You never disappoint us, thank you for all your efforts and all your animations shez. If you manage to animate your playthrough of elden ring i can already tell its going to be a masterpiece by no doubts
Your art never ceases to amaze and entertain me. You had me in tears of laughter, was almost expecting a push of a simple red button on the Grant for the miracle.
The best Dark Souls/Demon Souls parody and animation there is. Seeing you at first and today, how you have grow and now you are a legend :) Great work/video
Haha so awesome. The reference mask and the giant dad cracked me. I love all these animations. Maybe someday we'll see bloodborne!? Congrats to all the team
I really love the attention to detail shown throughout your videos. It makes them all the more enjoyable to watch, especially when you can catch some references, like how the Mask of the Father transforms the protagonist into GiantDad ("The Mask", as stated by others before me). Always a blast to come here and watch new or even old videos (I tend to watch your Sekiro, DS3, "Ring the Bell", and Dork Souls Shorts on repeat).
Finally found some time to watch again, as i did it only once during weekend when theres so much packed into every minute of the animation 🤯🧡 Bows to your progress, ill never stop mentioning it, love the liberty of expression and how you play and experiment with your style. I hope you had just as much fun creating it as it makes me feel you had. 🥳 The change in perspective and shots makes great tempo, greatly engaging from start to finish 🧡 Thank you so much for always making me laugh out loud with your parodies, it kept me guffawing from start to finish without mercy 😆
Ciao Shun! Welcome back. :> Thank you! that was a very analytical and interesting comment ^^ It actually makes me ponder on my strengths and how i can use them to make a better toon. I'm glad you liked it so much.
The density of detail and humor jammed into every frame and the animation as a whole is absolutely buck wild! Equally crazy is the fact that you make these as fast as you do all on your own, considering you do *everything*. Hope you do finally get a assistant to help out! Amazing work, dude!! :D

Your videos are just the best, Shez. So much dedication, so many details, just incredible! Keep up the great work, but don't overwork!
@@floda_ Thank you for watching man!
Was not expecting a "The Mask" movie reference, a welcome surprise for sure
Lol childhood right there
That Cuban Pete reference was top tier
A surprise to be sure but a welcome one
A star wars reference none the less
The best kinda suprise
The skeleton at the end crying in japanese was just perfect
That's a The End of Evangelion reference.
I immediately thought of Ainz Ooal Gown right when I heard that skeletons voice
mate i love seeing how much more comfortable and fluid your animation grew. you got mad skillz and i cannot admire your progress enough!
Thank you man!! I appreciate the kind words!

@@Shezmen88 you're very very good at what you do

I'm so surprised so many of you guys got the "The Mask" reference, that's freaking awesome!!! :D I feel less old now. XD
Sssomebody stop me!
That's because of the Actor who played him XD and the Grinch and Ace Ventura and Robotnik ... Man that guy is a legend
We're all old here :)

That's one of my favorite films! and every part of that was SO well animated and hilarious!
Oh man, that Mask/Giant Dad moment had me rolling like a skelleton wheel.
My favorite part was him killing Patches.
This mask reference was brilliant
Keep doing those amazing animations ^^
Thank you man.

Thanks dude! ^^ I gave it my all!
Dude your animation has gotten so much better over the years, and it was already incredible to begin with!
5:15 Here comes, THE DAD!!
Amazing work as always Shez, couldn't stop laughing from start to finish XD
SHIVA OF THE EAST? MORE LIKE SHIVA THE DECEASED
honestly, i was expecting the usual "FIRE" followed by the bass.
i hope a new giantdad meme is born
@@thefool8224 Well its Shez, we should always expect the unexpected. XD
you know alot of animation channels from my teenage years have stopped making animations
im just glad you're still making animations man, i hope one day you're videos are noticed even more

When I saw ‘wrong way’ I thought the way would be blocked lol, right before nito
Shez killing it so hard; a "short" is still 7 minutes of gold
Pog, I've been watching these since your vids since the first Dork souls came out. My favorite series :D
Glad you like them my dude.
Thank you so much for having me on, Matt! I've admired your work for a long time and so it was an honor to work with you ❤️. Looking forward to your future projects.

Jesus, that was incredible. Can't wait to see some Elden Ring episodes soon. Thank you for all your hard work, it's really something fantastic.
That rondo of blood sequence was lit bro
This is incredible. Probably your funniest since Sekirot. Can't wait to see more! I love all the work you do!
Wow! Thanks man :>
This is the best dark souls video of all time
Can we all agree that this man deserve all good in the worlf for his hardwork? Seriously, those animations are perfect
One of the best animations, all are great. and with a lot of references, I started playing Dark Souls 4 weeks ago and it reminds me of every step I took. Thank you, just, thank you.
Man, I was having a trash week, but this notification just made it all worth it, thanks for being awesome man, and as always beautiful work
Agreed, today was rough and this cheered me up.
The Gravelording part made me laugh so much, cant get enough of this, good job Shez
😂😂😂 OH~NO GRAVEIORDING SWORD...😢😢😢
You never disappoint us, thank you for all your efforts and all your animations shez.
If you manage to animate your playthrough of elden ring i can already tell its going to be a masterpiece by no doubts
Lol, you got your phrases mixed up. The way you phrased that implies that he always disappoints, every video
That first line does not mean what you think it means
Thank you so much dude, that's really heartwarming. :)
@@lizardface110 haha i think he must have edited it then ^^
@@Shezmen88 Not sure if you saw, but the original was "You never fail to disappoint us". Gave me a chuckle 😂
Dude, dude, DUUUUUUDE you have to do a whole series pls. DS1 is my fav of all time
I like how comunity from very hard and sad game about curse turn to this 5:39
Your animation has improved so much and it was already great to begin with. I have to re-watch it several times to get all the references XD
Wow the other episodes were amazing but the animation of this one is on another level. Great job 10/10
Very kind of you, thank you Itami.
Well deserved ❤️🤗
When you follow the "How to make Giantdad" ymfah vid as your first dark souls remastered playthrough
That Mask reference was amazing
The Mask reference just ascended this video into godhood.
And as you know divinity works well against undead
This is so detailed, so good.
I really like your work with shadows here.
And as always - many easter eggs, references and memes.
I just realised, this character would have a hilarious interaction with gwyndolin and gwynevere
The "Taxi" on the grave to Nito was a great little side note in it all and the freaking temple run idol
Gotta shout out the parallax inside the boss chamber with the hand-drawn center column. Excellent work.
Thanks man! That frame by frame was a BITCH. ^^'
I was having a bad day, you turned it around with this.
Thank you.
I'm really glad dude.
It's been awhile but you still got it! Still waiting patiently for a bloodborne animation!
I’m so excited to see what you do with Elden Ring, I love your work!
That music scene in the mask is amazing and deserves a full recreation. It's good to see you paying tribute.
Chick-chicky-boom.
Ooh yes! Another Dork Souls parody from Shez, PRAISE THE SUN!
Haha I love it dude
Your art never ceases to amaze and entertain me. You had me in tears of laughter, was almost expecting a push of a simple red button on the Grant for the miracle.
Sottotitoli in Italiano appena possibile🥺
Cmq i tuoi cortometraggi sono fantastici 😍
Shez before I thought you’re videos and art style was good but now it’s amazing, love your vids
"What the hell are you guys doing down here?"
"what are we doing he asks!"
Watching Shez's new masterpiece.
Muchachos... 5:47 that voice killed me jajajajajaja
God, so many goofy Shezmen shapes. I fucking love it.
XD
So funny! I also recommend Solaire true ending and ' Solaire vs all Dark Souls bosses' ;)
The best Dark Souls/Demon Souls parody and animation there is.
Seeing you at first and today, how you have grow and now you are a legend :)
Great work/video
So kind of you man, thanks a ton!
1:00 that gravestone =D
Another masterpiece?!
The mask bit was amazing! Well done as always shez!
Nito closing his coffin after his minions died is golden lmao
Can't imagine how much time and effort it takes to makes 1 minute of footage, mad respect for all the details
2:13 FINALLY, SOMEONE NOTICE THE SPANISH JOKES ABOUT THIS
that mask reference was great!
You really outdid yourself Shez! The Nito part killed me 💀💀😂
Oh, that Mask reference. Simply beautiful, Shez!
This is getting out of hand... This man... He's literally the animation god and the allfather of Dork Souls memeland!
Dude your uploads are the best *chef’s kiss
I can tell you really love what you do.
5:25 ahaha Giant Dad
I love seeing the animations, always looking for what's hidden in the background and love the art style!
Haha so awesome.
The reference mask and the giant dad cracked me.
I love all these animations.
Maybe someday we'll see bloodborne!?
Congrats to all the team
Amazing work man!!! Been following since the first noob episode! Never stop, this content is what i live for!
Sia lodato il sole! Un'altra animazione di qualità ~
Esatto! Lode all'altissimo e potentissimo sole
LODE AL SOLE
I stumbled upon this randomly and the animation quality is so good!!
3:44 The greatest Papyrus xd
I feel like this is your best video yet. Love it 💙
Glad you think so man.

Long has been the days I expected Dark Soul animations. This was awesome!
For me DS1 was easier than DS3 so I like how your character also looks like he is having easier during this playthrough
Yeah, just compare darkeater midir to kalameet.
Your animations are always such a fun time. Hope we get to see more of these, and maybe another HUGE animation for elden ring !
