I feel like this whole thing could have been avoided if Dolan was more direct with people and just said "unfortunately Shima has decided to pursue other things" or whatever
Fr I only remember the initial "we know she's fine though!..." video, and how else were kids supposed to interpret Dolan acting flustered and vague, like she went missing. It's almost like your young audience will pick up on that tone and here we are now. If it was framed like "Hey, this is Shima's last video, we loved working with you and wish you the best!" Boom, closure.
Now that I think about it, it wouldn't surprise me if they intentionally framed it in a way that would cause fans to obsess over "OMUHGAH, WHA HAPPUN TO HER??" Additionally, part of the reason I quit watching Planet Dolan was because it rubbed me the wrong way how they kept using the character of Shima even though the real lady clearly wants to get away from all the notoriety. I realize that the character was created by Planet Dolan themselves and thus they own the character, but it was still created to be a representation of the actual person. It's a classic case of "you may have the right to do it, but it's still the wrong thing to do."
@@farribastarfyre So to clarify, yes Planet Dolan owns the character, which is why they continued to use (the character). They just didn't have a voice actor to, well, replace her voice without it being super obvious. So instead they later switched her out for Melissa as the main side character to Dolan after it was clear Shima wasn't reprising her role. Hope that clarifies some things.
Just like he said in the video it's kind of b******* that people would rather make Con polluted Creepypasta or creepy urban legends rather than take the actual facts that maybe she just didn't want to do it anymore

Acting based on how things should be instead of how they actually are is a recipe for headaches. The choice Ttegegg describes is probably a better move in the flawed reality we found ourselves in.
@@Cadaveralien I completely disagree. If we lower our standards because it's more "realistic", then nothing is ever going to improve. When a large number of people are fundamentally incapable of doing the bare minimum, you don't lower the bare minimum, you expect them to do better. If these freaks are willing to be this persistent about somebody they've never even seen in real life, what do you think happens when she tells them what she's been up to? Any information is revelatory on the internet, and they do have somebody actively searching for her in real life is far more horrifying than a bunch of people just being weird on the internet.
@@pennyforyourthots Is not a matter of agreement, is just reality. If a politician steal the funds for a public bridge, you shouldn't lower your standards of the bare minimum a politician should do and you should expect them to do better, but the point when your actions become idiotic is when you decide to drive yourself off a cliff because a bridge "should" be there and you refuse to accept reality. Having standards and accepting material reality are not mutually exclusive. If anything, admitting reality is the first step to correct it
I think shima leaving due to her personal life issues & being overwhelmed is the best possible answer we can have. The crew knows she safe so that's good at least. We probably wont have her to speak out any time soon.
See this is kinda the weird thing. Doland said she was all good and well but then later you see him trying to contact her only to get radio silence as though he doesn't actually have any proper two way contact with her anyway. Granted I don't watch the channel much at all it seems logical to question if he ever really got any confirmation that she was alright. Just seems odd that someone would never once over like seven years say something to the effect of yeah I'm alright n not dead. I don't think getting pissy over people being worried over the health of another person is logical though just seems like humsn dencency. Really all this is is a cash of people being shitty at communicating with each other.
@otterino1419 in there latest video they did try to reach out to her with no luck, even mailing her something which has been delivered to her but she never sent anything back
Although her time on planet Dolan was short, the memories she brought will be deeply cherished, and at this point I hope wherever she is she’s alright.
it's most probable that she is alright and just moved on to another job. Even though Planet Dolan was successful, it just wasn't where she wanted to be. Lots of people are talented at a career/job but just don't "like" it.
Moral of the story; the only way anyone would ever care about you, the only way anyone will ever remember you when you’re gone, is if you are a sexy cat furry. That is the only way, if you are not a sexy cat furry, good luck getting your family to love you.
9:46 theory: shima is actually a cat so shes an adult in cat ages around 2015. This means today she is 50. Shima rapidly aged during the production of planet dolan and she is beginning to dust
Okay hears my theory. Shima means island right? And luan means second life right? Okay so hear me out. SHIMA ESCAPED TO AN ISLAND TO LIVE HER SECOND LIFE AWAY FROM THE INTERNET AND PLANET DOLANS GOONS. But what do I know? A lot. I know a lot.
Only reason why Shima is still talk about today because everyone is a closet furry and the suggestive art on the dolan videos made people feel funny when they watched it.
Tbh in my case its because i used to watch the channel a long time ago, and then this entire thing just got recommended to me, i didnt even know she was "missing"
I'd be lying if I didn't say that I have a bit of nostalgia for old Danger Dolan, and for when Planet Dolan first rolled out. It had a lot a great talented people come across it, and Shima had a great voice for the video format. I'm kind of hoping Season 2 opens up the door for more potential. New animators, new voice actors, with people getting discovered and the sort. I believe it could be something big again. Wherever Shima may be now, there's one thing for sure: She did a great job for what small role she played, and helped make the channel what it is. Loved the video btw! The mixture of history and comedic bits hit all the right places. Especially the live-action portions. Great watch!
I promised myself I wouldn't fall back into the Shima "mystery" rabbit hole. And yet here I am watching this video when Dolan already explained why she left for the millionth time. I enjoyed your video , i liked your take on this dumb mystery and your jokes.
While I hope she is doing better now, and agree no one should be expected to explain what problems the may be having, the whole situation has left a bad taste in my mouth. On dolans part, stating shima was pursuing other things would've been all that was really necessary. And on shima's part, even a sentence to dolan or whoever saying "for various reasons, I'm leaving bye" would've let dolan more easily move his channel forward while removing the huge search for her. Its the streisand effect, the more people tried to obfuscate the reason for her departure the more people searched. For anyone currently going though troubles, just remember that other people do care for you so ghosting is rarely a good move.
i don't know what amazes me more, the fact that after all these years, dolan is still around or that in the same timespan people still haven't figured out what happened to the cat
Everyone involved handled the situation poorly and indirectly enabled the very thing they didn't want to happen. Now everyone has moved on, but the damage can't be undone anymore.
shima was cool and all, but blima is where its at! shima might've been made by a questionable porn artist, and claimed all the most replayed segments, but blima, blima has claimed my heart with depth and character...
I think it was just a wrong place wrong time kind of mystery. This was in the era when FNAF had solely cultivated a generation of preteens that had a massive interest in internet mysteries and horror related content. I've often criticized FNAF and similar games because I think "hidden lore" is a false narrative and kind of stripped a lot of people from the ability to just look at things and talk about how it makes them feel; no, everybody wants a mystery, and everybody wants to solve it. Like me, a imagine a good portion of kids watching planet dolan were also engaging with internet mystery drama. So when Shima left and we didn't get a proper statement from dolan, our detective brains kind of just assumed that it was another scary internet secret. That's what was culturally popular for tweens at the time.
I feel like acting as if this is a purely new. the entire ARG popularity was huge in the 2000's it actually dipped a bit since like 2010. its a pretty human thing, pattern recognition and whatnot theres a reason people love Sherlock Holmes, coulombo, David Lynch and Stanley Kubrick movies. the idea of "hidden lore" got so popular in the age of video games and the internet because these are mediums that allow lore to be hidden.
Shima has inadvertently irrevocably damaged an entire generation of innocent young men on such a mass scale it would make the Great War blush. The fact that I'm even here, that we're all here, is proof of this.
I didn’t even know the channel went animated. I watched his top ten videos and returned a few years later to see all this animation. I thought it was a completely different channel and that my mind played tricks on me.
I have not seen a planet dolan video in years and I don’t even care about his channel but I watched every planet dolan video you made for seemingly no reason what is wrong with me
Goddammit man this video made my day, it just seems like something you had a lot of fun making and I was laughing my ass off the whole time. Keep it up man, good shit
20:22; I disagree, I'm still waiting for the day Hellbent to unprivate his old streams with Shima. Those weekly streams were a goldmine for podcast topics, especially when Shima is included.
Bet they left to figure out if weirdos online would become too obsessive about them in the future, it seems they were proven correct and intend to now stay the fuck away. Besides, due to certain art of this persona, this whole thing reminds me of Eddsworld. With fans becoming so engrossed in their own sick fanfiction, they start making so much smut of real life people, it starts effecting their private life. Shimaa Luan might get the fans acting unwise, but it least they themself had the hindsight to not remain anywhere nearby them.
Honestly, I think she just slowly lost interest in doing voice work. It's easy to point fingers at the weirdos but from the looks of it to me, it seemed like a thing she did kinda for fun, but started doing less and less because she lost interest until she just stopped doing it altogether (I pick up hobbies and drop them all the time) It seemed like some side hobby for her anyways, I think alot of people just don't want to admit that Planet Dolan wasn't this huge priority for her and want to blame it on a controversial reason on her being scared off by weirdos because they don't wanna face that she probably just didn't care THAT much about a little cartoon animation online
@@almond3066 I think if she simply just did a farewell video when she lost interest, none of this would've happened and I'm sure at least some fans would've learned to come to peace with it.
@@Ttegegg if she wanted to make an everlasting impression on her fans for years to come, she would’ve stayed in with Planet Dolan. But I think her bigger priority was self-care, hence why it’s regarded as some sort of “mystery” since she ghosted even the Planet Dolan crew not just the public eye
Eh no. Shima didn't care about the nsfw artwork of the character; that was never an issue. This is a known fact that she said herself. Infact, all Dolan crew members are probably well aware that there would inevitiably be, art of them. You kinda have to accept that as an aniamted cartoon content creator and learn to let that roll of your back and not get to your head too much.
Man this brought back memories, I loved watched Danger Dolan videos for the animation, facts, fun characters and great animation. I hope Shima is doing well in life and I wish her the best. I loved seeing seeing Hellbent and hearing his voice, lol. I also loved Melissa because I have pet bird so I'm biased. Overall I hope Danger Dolan crew are doing well and I loved their videos during my time in school. I finished University so seeing their videos felt like a long time ago.
I LOVE the egg eating reference at the end to that one shitty channel that was like undercover creeps and one dude is just watching a kids room and chomping on some boiled eggs 😭
Heyo, I'm the dude from the ScareTheather interview. And uh, yea as I said, there's nothing to talk about. She just quit & moved on with life. There was no mystery. I was supprised that Dolan went on to make that new video cuz he went AFK for ~2 years himself, but eh, that's the internet for ya. Great video tho. :)
Thanks for looking at it, cool to see some people involved watch this, I appreciate the feedback because I was kinda afraid of a lot of people thinking this would be too much especially after Dolan made his.
@@chazington1073 Yea, true true. In a way, I think it makes sense cuz like, I think he was trying to go for a "so that's the truth, what's next?" kinda thing.
I don’t think people realize how easy it is for you to just go off the grid on the internet. Two of the easiest ways are (assuming you didn’t use your real name and likeness that is) . . . 1) Just delete all of your profiles and replace them with completely unrelated handles and profile pics. or . . . 2) Just browse without signing in. Or if you must sign in, use an old account that people wouldn’t recognize.
I just clicked on this video because I was like "oh an internet mystery" and now I have to be burdened with the knowledge that Planet Dolan still exists in 2023.
If I'm honest, I find the whole idea of recasting to be kinda screwed up. Especailly on a channel that kinda prided itself on having every voice actor kinda as their own person.
I always found it odd that Super Planet Dolan was intended for kids, but the animations featuring Shima were heavily sexualized and even some notable furry animators worked with Dolan. It's...uncomfortable, to say the least.
Although I haven’t watched Planet Doland in a long time but I do remember when I watched his channel often, Shima held a special place in my heart since she was there when I watched Planet Doland. Like what another comment stated, although her time was quite short (at least compared to other animated characters like the Owl character) and we may or may not know the exact answer on why she left but honestly. We might never know the answer but regardless, I just hope she’s doing alright.
Chaz I love your videos they sit well with my adhd brain I love them. I love how you just slap random shit in there randomly. Like Breaking Bad or memes. It's my actual sense of humor.
I had no idea this was happening since I fell out of watching Planet Dolan (actually forgot he was a thing too lmao), kinda was shocked to see this pop up on my recommended and decided to give it a watch, kinda funny to see all those people trying to just get her back through constant bugging or just telling them to straight up invade her house and get her back one way or the other, sad mentality tbh
Bro I just watched a 20 minute video about something I barely remember only for the conclusion to be “yeah she just kinda quit.” Still it was an intriguing ride seeing how the simplest of conclusions can be swept to the side in favor of a grand mythology of conspiracy
I clicked this video thinking that it was going to be about an artist that used to draw for a pet site that used to have the username Shima Luan. I have no idea what Planet Dolan is but I’m now invested in this lol.
I discovered this channel that year and I think if it were created in those years (with tiktok, shorts and the lack of long concerts by people in that decade) it would be much more famous and successive
Honestly, you're right about Shima being more of a mystery than a character at this point. I quit watching Planet Dolan around the time all the extra guests started showing up because I moved on to other interests but Shima was always my favorite character. I was sad that she disappeared but even if Shima were found I don't think it would mean anything at this point. Also I had completely forgotten that Dolan is the reason that the phrase "have a good one" is in my daily vernacular. Was a warm reminder of simpler times.
This is so disorganized and unfocused that I'm genuinely half-sure the script was just written on a bunch of note cards that you threw into the air to intentionally scramble.
I dead ass think SHima just went off to draw the thing that rhymes with corn and was satisfied. A lot of artist do this. Separate their styles or outright abandon more wholesome ones to help separate attention.
She was pretty much a small part of my childhood when I started watching, I hope she's doing okay tbh. But I think it would've helped more if Dolan was more direct and clear about it.
I still haven't forgotten about Shima. She's so much of a legend that I refuse to even allow her to be forgotten. And I won't stop considering her to be Dolan's greatest character
everyone asks "where is shima?" but no one asks "how is shima" 😢
legit tho', no joke

Honestly she was a fairly good voice actress and was used as a poster character that’s all I need to know and all I’ve needed to know
Bet they left to figure out if weirdos online would become too obsessive about them in the future, it seems they were proven correct and intend to now stay the fuck away.
Besides, due to certain art of this persona, this whole thing reminds me of Eddsworld. With fans becoming so engrossed in their own sick fanfiction, they start making so much smut of real life people, it starts effecting their private life.
Shimaa Luan might get the fans acting unwise, but it least they themself had the hindsight to not remain anywhere nearby them.
Honestly, I think she just slowly lost interest in doing voice work. It's easy to point fingers at the weirdos but from the looks of it to me, it seemed like a thing she did kinda for fun, but started doing less and less because she lost interest until she just stopped doing it altogether (I pick up hobbies and drop them all the time)
It seemed like some side hobby for her anyways, I think alot of people just don't want to admit that Planet Dolan wasn't this huge priority for her and want to blame it on a controversial reason on her being scared off by weirdos because they don't wanna face that she probably just didn't care THAT much about a little cartoon animation online
@@almond3066 I think if she simply just did a farewell video when she lost interest, none of this would've happened and I'm sure at least some fans would've learned to come to peace with it.
@@connorbeith3232 some? Ehhhh if people already got the answer, I think people will be just be welp. Guess she’s gone. And years do make people forget
@@Ttegegg if she wanted to make an everlasting impression on her fans for years to come, she would’ve stayed in with Planet Dolan. But I think her bigger priority was self-care, hence why it’s regarded as some sort of “mystery” since she ghosted even the Planet Dolan crew not just the public eye
Eh no. Shima didn't care about the nsfw artwork of the character; that was never an issue. This is a known fact that she said herself.
Infact, all Dolan crew members are probably well aware that there would inevitiably be, art of them.
You kinda have to accept that as an aniamted cartoon content creator and learn to let that roll of your back and not get to your head too much.
Man this brought back memories, I loved watched Danger Dolan videos for the animation, facts, fun characters and great animation. I hope Shima is doing well in life and I wish her the best. I loved seeing seeing Hellbent and hearing his voice, lol. I also loved Melissa because I have pet bird so I'm biased. Overall I hope Danger Dolan crew are doing well and I loved their videos during my time in school. I finished University so seeing their videos felt like a long time ago.
I LOVE the egg eating reference at the end to that one shitty channel that was like undercover creeps and one dude is just watching a kids room and chomping on some boiled eggs 😭
Heyo, I'm the dude from the ScareTheather interview. And uh, yea as I said, there's nothing to talk about. She just quit & moved on with life. There was no mystery.
I was supprised that Dolan went on to make that new video cuz he went AFK for ~2 years himself, but eh, that's the internet for ya. Great video tho. :)
Thanks for looking at it, cool to see some people involved watch this, I appreciate the feedback because I was kinda afraid of a lot of people thinking this would be too much especially after Dolan made his.
@@chazington1073 Nahh, DaftPina did a thing too; if anything I think it just helps wrap up this whole tale with bow. :)
@@jamkat7785 yeah but he mentions Shima for like 3 minutes and the rest is just about the return of Dolan
@@chazington1073 Yea, true true. In a way, I think it makes sense cuz like, I think he was trying to go for a "so that's the truth, what's next?" kinda thing.
I don’t think people realize how easy it is for you to just go off the grid on the internet. Two of the easiest ways are (assuming you didn’t use your real name and likeness that is) . . .
1) Just delete all of your profiles and replace them with completely unrelated handles and profile pics.
or . . .
2) Just browse without signing in. Or if you must sign in, use an old account that people wouldn’t recognize.
This is unhinged and i love it
There are very few things in this world I couldn't care less about than Planet Dolan but these videos are amazing I can't get enough
I just clicked on this video because I was like "oh an internet mystery" and now I have to be burdened with the knowledge that Planet Dolan still exists in 2023.
If I'm honest, I find the whole idea of recasting to be kinda screwed up. Especailly on a channel that kinda prided itself on having every voice actor kinda as their own person.
I always found it odd that Super Planet Dolan was intended for kids, but the animations featuring Shima were heavily sexualized and even some notable furry animators worked with Dolan. It's...uncomfortable, to say the least.
they replaced an r34 magnet with a new r34 magnet, bravo vince
I’m so happy you uploaded and put in a Nathan for You clip
Although I haven’t watched Planet Doland in a long time but I do remember when I watched his channel often, Shima held a special place in my heart since she was there when I watched Planet Doland.
Like what another comment stated, although her time was quite short (at least compared to other animated characters like the Owl character) and we may or may not know the exact answer on why she left but honestly. We might never know the answer but regardless, I just hope she’s doing alright.
2:50 is unnecessarily incredibly funny. Lmao
Throughout all of my viewings of your channel I never understood what is with you and planet Dolan
Chaz I love your videos they sit well with my adhd brain I love them. I love how you just slap random shit in there randomly. Like Breaking Bad or memes. It's my actual sense of humor.
same bro
@@regaleagle6262 Agreed like omggg
I love these vidsss I can't get enough 😭
Omg same!
@@mysryuza nice pfp
Your jokes made my nose snort and laugh hard, and giggle! This is a great video! I need it for SPD! awesome!
And now the character is back.
Sorta?
Well, kinda with now red eyes and a new british voice
It's not the same. But yeah, she's technically back, in a sense.
I'm undoubtedly younger than Chazington, but somehow this channel hits all the nostalgia that I have from elementary school.
I had no idea this was happening since I fell out of watching Planet Dolan (actually forgot he was a thing too lmao), kinda was shocked to see this pop up on my recommended and decided to give it a watch, kinda funny to see all those people trying to just get her back through constant bugging or just telling them to straight up invade her house and get her back one way or the other, sad mentality tbh
1:35 guys, we gotta make this the most viewed
I always assumed she got put into witness protection, strike that balance of interesting and consistent with what they said about her
planet dolan made me a furry
This is why I’m scared to do anything with my three eleven year old cat ocs. I feel like I shouldn’t have to worry about that.
What’s up?
Don't worry, no one will care anyway.
@@_V.Va_🗣
Maybe the shima was the friends we made along the way
i wasn't expecting a that handsome devil reference in a video about the missing cat of Planet Dolan
Well both are of Planet Dolan
Idk what the fuck Dolan Planet is. Why am I watching this whole thing lmfao
literally me
The Handsome Devil joke took me off guard
i could not follow a single point in this video and i feel like a toddler watching cocomelon
10/10
Bro I just watched a 20 minute video about something I barely remember only for the conclusion to be “yeah she just kinda quit.” Still it was an intriguing ride seeing how the simplest of conclusions can be swept to the side in favor of a grand mythology of conspiracy
Because that's not technically true. She didn't "just quit" she f*cking vanished like a Thanos snap. That's not the same as "quitting"
i love how youre a video essay youtuber but dont care too much please keep doing videos
literally haven't even thought about planet dolan in at least 5 years. thanks for the recommendation youtube
I clicked this video thinking that it was going to be about an artist that used to draw for a pet site that used to have the username Shima Luan. I have no idea what Planet Dolan is but I’m now invested in this lol.
With the fact that I thought Shima was like.. Dolans #1 co-host, damn right she made an impact
Sometimes I wanna live on that Planet Dolan world
This is genuinely the first time I've thought about Dolan since I was eight years old.
I discovered this channel that year and I think if it were created in those years (with tiktok, shorts and the lack of long concerts by people in that decade) it would be much more famous and successive
I adore your editing. Where's my ham? I left it right here!
Calling saul rn 🔥🗣‼️‼️
The "That Handsome Devil" reference hit me like a fucking train Jesus Christ.
Honestly, you're right about Shima being more of a mystery than a character at this point. I quit watching Planet Dolan around the time all the extra guests started showing up because I moved on to other interests but Shima was always my favorite character. I was sad that she disappeared but even if Shima were found I don't think it would mean anything at this point.
Also I had completely forgotten that Dolan is the reason that the phrase "have a good one" is in my daily vernacular. Was a warm reminder of simpler times.
another grade a video by chazington, we NEED a planet chazington and i volunteer as tribute
I looked up Shima Luan on DeviantArt, god damn was THAT a mistake!
This is so disorganized and unfocused that I'm genuinely half-sure the script was just written on a bunch of note cards that you threw into the air to intentionally scramble.
Man your channel deserves more views and subs
Loved that joke on TurkeyTom thumbnails
I dead ass think SHima just went off to draw the thing that rhymes with corn and was satisfied. A lot of artist do this. Separate their styles or outright abandon more wholesome ones to help separate attention.
She was pretty much a small part of my childhood when I started watching, I hope she's doing okay tbh.
But I think it would've helped more if Dolan was more direct and clear about it.
There wasn't really much to say
Many thanks for inadvertently introducing me to that handsome devil, I love his shit
a major cloog who was unprepared
Charlie
i thought this video was going to end like three separate times at the 15 minute mark
8:58 holy moly
Babe wake up, chazington posted another video obsessing over a pink cat
I still haven't forgotten about Shima. She's so much of a legend that I refuse to even allow her to be forgotten.
And I won't stop considering her to be Dolan's greatest character
I'm sorry but it really sounds like you think she's the actual character and not just an amateur voice actor.
@@GribbleGob That's not the message I'm TRYING to get across, but okay
everyone's thirsty for a pink cat girl and its so fucking funny
Shima’s voice is so deadpan and monotone that a soundboard could have actually worked.
