Too bad you didn't mention Monkey wrench! It's completely self funded and a new ep just came out, the writing is amazing and the animation is beautiful! They have no money for the next ep so they need all the support they can get!
And also in my opinion ace of hearts is original and interesting if u are more interested in sci-fi they posted about 4 episodes already its really good the lore is very interesting
Really happy to see Atlas and The Stars getting more recognition!! It's always been one of the most visually pretty and heavily underrated indie animated series on UA-cam in my opinion
As time passes I cant wait to see what new ideas and shows will continue to be released on youtube. Its unfortunate many great shows were cancelled that had so much potential.
Hijacking-THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH 4 MAKING THIS LIST. It's hard 2 keep track of what the new shows are. especially as Im distracted by the Palestinian g3n0c1de
Thank you so much for the shout out! That really means so much to me. Amazing to see so much talent out there and I can't wait to see more! Happy New Year! 🎉
Thank you so much for creating such a nostalgic experience for me, it reminded me of how so many people used to just make their own sort of indie anime back in hte days, and yours feels like it pays tribute to these classic indie projects most people never even saw, while bringing in the new age. Really looking forward to more episodes!
I’m so glad that The Earth Guy is finally getting more attention. The premise has me hooked & I absolutely fell in love with the world, the characters, pretty much everything the moment I saw the pilot. Besides that, I'm really excited for these other projects and can't wait to see where they all go!
I am very much looking forward to Godspeed. Olan Rogers took many of the good ideas they had from Final Space and implemented them in a show that already looks to be far higher in quality.
I’m really excited for more “Helluva Boss,” “Hazbin Hotel,” “Murder Drones,” “The Amazing Digital Circus,” and “Lackadaisy.”🤩😊💖💖💖 I hadn’t even heard of “Atlas” but the concept is really cool.😎 I enjoyed the pilot of “Magical Girl Garnet Heart,” so curious to see what happens next.😉❤️
I absolutely love atlas and the stars. The creator, mirananimations, SOLO ANIMATED a 30 minute episode it's insane, everyone should totally go check it out!! 💗
I’m so happy that indie animation is getting more of a spotlight in the recent years! As someone making an indie animated series myself, the passion and effort put into these projects is so much and it means the world that lots of people want to see more 💫
This channel truly cares about indie animators. I’m glad to see there are no ‘Drama Explained’ videos. Channels that do that are part of the problem. I can’t believe people have time in their day to give grief to indie creators and their supporters.
I loved all the pilots and I'm totally going to check out more! So thanks for this video. I would love it if you make videos about "God's School" in the future. And I'm really happy to see so many people who create such amazing content and choose to share it with all of us!
Really insightful breakdown of the state of indie animation! It’s exciting to see how projects like Lackadaisy are pushing the boundaries between mainstream and indie. I also love that you're giving a platform to lesser-known projects-there’s so much creativity out there, and it's great to see the passion behind these smaller teams. Looking forward to checking out Garnet Heart and diving into some of the other shows you mentioned. Keep up the great work showcasing the diversity in indie animation!
I'm looking forward to watch *Garnet Heart, Atlas and the Stars, The Earth Guy, In Limbo, God Speed, Broken Beat and Far Fetched* next year in 2024! Can't wait to watch them all! Happy (almost) New Year everyone! 😁😄👌👍🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊
My favorite Indie Animation Shows are Hazbin Hotel, Helluva Boss, Lackadaisy, and The Amazing Digital Circus! I love these 4 Shows and I can't wait to see what 2024 has in store for them, also I can't believe Atlas and the Stars is a thing now too. Murder Drones is pretty cool too, i just didn't watch it because I was a little distracted watching a lot of Helluva Boss lately.🤩😅
Hugo's mind palace, any chance it is inspired by Duncan Trussell and Pendleton Ward's "the midnight gospel" because it gave me the same vibes from the art style to the dimension hopping.
Godspeed is basically the sequel of Final Space, which is technically not indie animation, but had a rough treatment by streaming platforms nevertheless, so I'm not surprised about Godspeed going down the indie route. Final Space is also pretty underrated, I really recommend it!
Hugo's mind palace reminds me of tomska, and atmos' character design reminds me of the elf alien from the "starlight brigade" song. Which is great! Cause that song definitely deserves an anime or at least a tribute
I cant wait for more Godspeed. Final SPace was so good and this series could reach that same level of character development and the amount of heartbreaking moments
YESSS ATLAS AND THE STARS! No other show other than Steven Universe has captivated me as much as Atlas And The Stars, im immensely hyperfixated on it, especially one of the characters, I HIGHLY recommend it!
Ramshackle is worth cheking out. There are some teasers for the pilot and a couple of short animations. Its about chaotic misadventures of three orphans set in the 1920. It has a beautiful artstyle
Godspeed is just so unbelivably stunning that its hard to belive its indy. My only problem is that the world that its set in is so bleack and sad that i cant see any chance of happy ending. I know that not having a nice ending in sight is probably a good thing for this type of story, but i just know my heart is going to get broken Edit: i also wanted to shoutout Ramshakle, i came across it through the glich live event and i cant wait for the pilot, it should be out somewhen at 2024
I legit could do a giant video breaking down the various inspirations of their lore in that first episode, I love that kind of banger mythological opening.
@@CartoonUniverse that would be SO awesome to see. The work that Creative Theory World has done is thorough and fantastic. I know they would love to see that video be made. You're the best! 🥺👏
9:48 YEEEESSSS!! Omg I was really hoping you'd mention this one! I watched it around a week ago and by the end of the episode I was just...mindblown. Literally mindblown. I *seriously* hope this series continues because holy jesus the story is so interesting. Not to mention the *gorgeous* animation!
To me, Hazbin Hotel is to indie animation, to what FNAF was to indie gaming. Indie games was a genre that was overlooked in the 2000s and the early 2010s. Then, Five Nights at Freddy’s became a global phenomenon of a franchise. It became a trailblazer, a pioneer that set the bar for indie games. Many studios followed suit, and we got memorable hits like Undertale and Cuphead. In many aspects, Hazbin Hotel is a trualbalser for indie animation, as well as The Amazing Digital circus. Both blew open the flood gates. An alternative to big gaining and animation studios, that offer “outside the box” entertainment, and boundless creativity, due to less restrictions that most streaming platforms and big animation companies/studios would otherwise force.
I’d like to throw “Madtown” out there. It’s an on a budget indie project, but the story and characters are amusing. Basically a guy, Marc, makes a deal with the Grim Reaper to help get a girl and shenanigans ensue.
Here to plug in one of my favourite series, Alien Stage, it's not your traditional show. Every episode is a music video but even then you can still figure it out. Also there are queer characters so yyayyyy!!!!!!!! :3
Broats is an indie animated shorts series that’s been running non-stop since May 2023. It’s a small project with one artist handling all the writing, design and animation, but featuring voice talent like Adam McArthur and Jessica DiCicco. It’s a scrappy little project with zero budget or fanfare, but has been chugging along with lots of content over a long haul. Taking a short break at the top of this year to prep new material, but returning with new shorts in 01/26/24. Would really appreciate support from lovers of indie animation.
Here is a Playlist of all these cool pilots!
ua-cam.com/video/dHnh-w2X1w0/v-deo.html
Those Pilots from the different Indie Shows are amazing!
Cool
I'll be glad to give these all a watch in 2024! Happy New Year!
I'm looking forward into watching these different Brilliant Pilots in 2024! 😁😄
Me when I heard sarcastic chorus’s voice: 😂
Too bad you didn't mention Monkey wrench! It's completely self funded and a new ep just came out, the writing is amazing and the animation is beautiful! They have no money for the next ep so they need all the support they can get!
Really needs to be said
Monkey wrench is absolutely amazing
YES I LVE MONKEY WRENCH
Oh I Know that it was a great show
And also in my opinion ace of hearts is original and interesting if u are more interested in sci-fi they posted about 4 episodes already its really good the lore is very interesting
Hey, creator of Hugo's Mind Palace here, I really appreciate the shoutout! Happy new year and here's to 2024, the year of indie animation! 💪
Dude, it was so funny, master class in short form.
@@CartoonUniverse Thanks so much! Really kind of you to say :) Love your vids.
@@Alistocrat hey bro i really like ur show, awesome work

I know! 8 was there at the Premier.

There's also a new sci-fi Show called ace of hearts its really good😅 they have already posted 4 episodes already
Thank you so much for the shout out! That really means so much to me.

@@aninamated3984IT'S YOU
Can't wait for Murder Drones episodes 7-8!
Same 😀
Same here mate
Same
For sure dude
I should watch murder drones it sounds cool lol

You people better share these pilots with anybody you can!
SUPPORT INDIE ANIMATION!!!
Absolutely, especially since I am an indie animator myself as well. 😃👍
Hullabaloo is also a good up and comer. They have a little 1-2 minute short out now. The animation is beautiful and the concept is very interesting.
I’m so happy that indie animation is getting more of a spotlight in the recent years! As someone making an indie animated series myself, the passion and effort put into these projects is so much and it means the world that lots of people want to see more 💫
I couldn’t agree with you more as well. I have an indie animated series as well in which I hope to complete the remaining episodes this year. 😃
This channel truly cares about indie animators. I’m glad to see there are no ‘Drama Explained’ videos. Channels that do that are part of the problem. I can’t believe people have time in their day to give grief to indie creators and their supporters.
*Looking forward to seeing new show content of both Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss, guys and gals!* 😁😇
I loved all the pilots and I'm totally going to check out more! So thanks for this video.

those are literally the biggest ones
@@yal1621 What do you mean by that?
Can wait for next year and the new animation. Let's all hope that animation next year will get better than last year and even this year.
Hugo's mind palace, any chance it is inspired by Duncan Trussell and Pendleton Ward's "the midnight gospel" because it gave me the same vibes from the art style to the dimension hopping.
I’m glad to see small animations like atlas and the stars getting the credits it deserves, it’s really nice!
Godspeed is basically the sequel of Final Space, which is technically not indie animation, but had a rough treatment by streaming platforms nevertheless, so I'm not surprised about Godspeed going down the indie route. Final Space is also pretty underrated, I really recommend it!
I can't wait for new helluva boss episodes
Hugo's mind palace reminds me of tomska, and atmos' character design reminds me of the elf alien from the "starlight brigade" song. Which is great! Cause that song definitely deserves an anime or at least a tribute
I cant wait for more Godspeed. Final SPace was so good and this series could reach that same level of character development and the amount of heartbreaking moments
I'd love to hear you talk more about gods school and Greek mythology.
YESSS ATLAS AND THE STARS! No other show other than Steven Universe has captivated me as much as Atlas And The Stars, im immensely hyperfixated on it, especially one of the characters, I HIGHLY recommend it!
Ramshackle is worth cheking out. There are some teasers for the pilot and a couple of short animations. Its about chaotic misadventures of three orphans set in the 1920. It has a beautiful artstyle

Im so hyped for Hazbin hotel!! I was in love with the show since the pilot came out.
Well all these indie animated series are really good I will check some of them out particularly ones that interest me.
Thank you so much for including Broken Beat!
I legit could do a giant video breaking down the various inspirations of their lore in that first episode, I love that kind of banger mythological opening.
@@CartoonUniverse that would be SO awesome to see. The work that Creative Theory World has done is thorough and fantastic. I know they would love to see that video be made. You're the best! 🥺👏
Godspeed art style is like the Carmen stand to San Diego one
Yes thank you. That’s what the animation reminded me of I just couldn’t remember what show
Thank you for acknowledging our project. Happy New Years and blessings.
WOW! These all look amazing! Can't wat to watch the ones I haven't gotten a chance to already (and to rewatch the others).
I'd also love to see you explain GodSchool, I'd adore it!
9:48
YEEEESSSS!! Omg I was really hoping you'd mention this one! I watched it around a week ago and by the end of the episode I was just...mindblown. Literally mindblown. I *seriously* hope this series continues because holy jesus the story is so interesting. Not to mention the *gorgeous* animation!
I’m looking forward to seeing what else Broken Beat Forthbringers has. I’ve been following them for years now! Can’t wait!!
It would be amazing to see I.O.N talked about, as its also an indi project! :D it definitely deserves some love
ATLAS AND THE STARS MENTIONED ‼️ (CAME HERE FROM THE DISC SERVER AND IMMEDIATELY CLICKED THE LINK WHEN I SAW ATLAS AND THE STARS)
SAMEEE I ABSOLUTELY ADORE IT IM COMPLETELY OBSESSED
I really enjoy your content! I hope you keep up with your videos and don't get too exhausted :)
One project that was not mentioned and I think deserves more spotlight is Ramshackle.
Thanks for throwing in the part about etiquette. I feel like too many people forget to practice it.
I can't Wait For Hazbin To Release It's Been Worth The Wait
hah i love that line from sarcastic Corus lol.

I already watched The Earth Guy and Limbo, and I'm really hyped to see the others
Paranormal hunter bois is pretty good, I recommend it
A lot of indie animation seem to be space themed or has a space motif.... which is kinda cool since my o.c story also has space stuff in it
I’d like to throw “Madtown” out there. It’s an on a budget indie project, but the story and characters are amusing. Basically a guy, Marc, makes a deal with the Grim Reaper to help get a girl and shenanigans ensue.
There is going to be a lot more in coming years. Obsidian Red is doing several from Webtoon and Tapas.
Wonderful! Also. I'd love to hear your thoughts on Greek Mythos!
I'm glad you have noticed Atlas and the Stars!
2024 (a new year): We're now in the indie era.🎉
I was not expecting a madoka magica refrence after i finished the series
Might I recommend Disadventure Camp? It's a fanmade show like Total Drama. Third season is coming out soon.
Here to plug in one of my favourite series, Alien Stage, it's not your traditional show. Every episode is a music video but even then you can still figure it out. Also there are queer characters so yyayyyy!!!!!!!! :3
Broken Beat really is the best🔥 I'm glad people are talking about it❤️
10:28 this art style, reminds me of the same art style used in the young Justice DC show that aired on Cartoon Network December 26, 2010
OMG THEY MENTIONED ATLAS AND THE STARSSS AYAYYAYA
Alan Becker animation is also amazing, you should check it out.
Nice video and shows. There's two indie shows I hope will get more recognition are Interstellar Ranger Commence and Monkey Wrench. 🙂👍
there is a indi animator that has been here before viv and she created the show NO Evil on youtube
Betsy Lee?
I feel like Anton ego seeing so many new pilots each small one I find I think not just anyone can become a great artist
Azureus is getting on the ground and you should totally give it a shoutout when you can!
Please talk about Monkey Wrench!!! A new episode just came out yesterday and it's really good! ❤ They can use all the love!
I’m shocked monkey wrench by zuerel is going under the radar since episode 3 just dropped
Ashley said it best for Far-Fetched "It's like Scooby-Doo meets Supernatural for people who shop at Hot Topic"

Dang, so many indie series. ill have to write those down.
_Boxtown_ is another one to check out.
yes we'd love to hav emor e breakdowns of other shows!
I'd definitely be interested in videos about Gods School!
Our spellcasting lies plot
Of course the Godspeed pilot is amazing. It is the brainchild of Olan Rogers after all!
Monkey Wrench really should have been mentioned ngl
"In Limbo" also reminds me of "Over the Garden Wall" pretty much crossed with a bit of "Gravity Falls".
Yay new Video❤❤
Lackadaisy looks like it could be the Batman TAS of indie animation
You forgot to mention Sunnyside: Royal of Cora
I recommend Monkey Wrench if yall haven’t already seen it
You only forgot about one other series, "Monkey Wrench"
There is another indie show coming out called howling woods! Pilot isn't out yet but personally can't wait to see it!
I want to mention "our spellbinding lies" that recently had posted it's pilot
Where's Monkey Wrench and Ramshackle :(
Happy New Year's Cartoon Universe and So Excited for Hazbin Hotel in January 19!
Just wanted to remind that the makers of the LN „class of 09“ are doing a kickstarter for an anime
Awesome to see Atlas and the Stars!
Pls, do videos about Gods School!
Thank you for recognizing Atlas and the Stars! It’s a great pilot and I want to see it grow and thrive!
All these indie shows deserve tons of praise!
Yeaah get in to it🎉🌌💅
Very sad you missed monkey wrench, a super well made super good show.
Glad to see Atlas and the Stars on here!
I've been watching some Humans-B-Gone! recently, it does mainly focus on worldbuilding.
God'sScool is so beautiful, I love it
Magical girl Garnet Heart show is like a fairy tale superhero anime.
Yayyyy, i knew In Limbo before watching this lol
Load aim burn
Pls people start talking about this amazing show
