Petition for an animated series of this
We have no idea what the lore of this character is, but the movement and expression brings so much story to these characters, even if they don’t talk
WE NEED THIS
Petition for an animated series signed.
Oh, I'm signing!!
I think It would be a great video game
Yeah, that or a video game- I got serious video game trailer vibes for this ^^
This needs to be turned into a game with 2 storylines that would eventually intertwine with one another. It gives off such hollow knight vibes and I am loving every second of it 🧡
YES! I feel like this would make a good horrorgame.
feels like a mix of ori and hollow knight, I love it! Its extremely impressive and so captivating, I love the world building, the characters, movement-- literally everything about this animatic. Gave me *chills* ! And the end title sequence was the cherry on top!!
Its like hollow knight but it feels a little like gravity falls as wel??? Its honestly so good i am in awe of this animation.
@@user-ds8yj6hc6v I WAS GONNA SAY THAT
The reason it feels hollow knight it probably because they made a hollow knight skin of kuneho which is SOOOO good
2:22 idk if anyone picked up on it, but the monster in disguise had an ear lifted up indicating it heard it's companion in the distance (showed a few seconds prior) before dropping into an emotionless and nonreactive state (the wind didn't affect it compared to everyone else) before attacking. Just that little detail made me have chills of how intelligent those things are.
Yeah it’s cool
Also when the pink guy with the straw hat makes a shadow puppet of the monsters mouths, the disguised monster looks down at the ground. 1:57
@@paulvelez819 why did the monster look at the ground?
@@majestic_seal maybe the guy talks about how brutal, cruel, etc the monsters are. Or it feels bad that it is going to kill them.
My theory, idk.
The monsters are chill when they're turned into those humanoid guys. Kinda like vampires or werewolves. In a full moon or something, they turn into monsters.
@@lifjwjw6320”they turn into monsters when they hear the call”
4:02 it is INCREDIBLE how much emotion and intensity is conveyed through little bean guys with STICK LIMBS
youtube animation in a nutshell
@@timemerchant8463 I think I know what you just did there
The way I literally didn’t breathe through half the VIDEO- Sad-ist is just a legend 🤧🤧 INCREDIBLE OMG
They looked like little ants in my opinion
Ikr! Crazy! Also lol, "bean guys"
Welp I know I’ll be re-watching constantly for the next few months
Lol
Yep
True tho
Already rematched it 1000+ times.
@@protomedia8325 noice
I love the detail that at 1:56 when the others are talking about the monsters, the yellow one that later is revealed to be a monster, subtly looks down. It's a neat bit of foreshadowing.
Edit: oh god what happened in the replies
Nice observation!
he was the sussy amongsty.
JK this is accually pretty cool and i had not noticed it before.
@@Finn_Does_Things amongussy 😩
@@CC-iw2qh sussssy 😩😩😩
Another thing that hints at yellow being a monster is here -> 2:21 watch what they do as the wind blows out redhat’s lamp
This could literally be turned into a full length movie
And I would pay hundreds to see it.
Or game
I would be first in line.
I love the fact that the Baybayin (the symbols) for Kuneho is actually accurate! A bit modernized but still recognizable!
True, at least for the word "kuneho" itself. There was a bunch of other words there that were also accurate, but there seem to have been a few typos, plus there were a bunch I couldn't make out due to the sfx, but still, it was nice! ^^
I appreciate the use of Baybayin here in this video. It's an ancient script of my country. I always thought it's perfect for fantasy world.
All true, but what does it actually say?
I’m a filipino, and I want to explain everything in this animation here. Kuneho is Bunny in tagalog which explains the designs of the characters. And the lore behind this is based on an old Philippine folklore, I think the monsters are based on the “Aswang” the most famous philippine mythical creature, which is a monster that is a vampire and a wolf combined together that can shapeshift and disguised as a human being. There was this one old filipino movie where there was a traitor amongst the village which is an aswang disguised, but I could be wrong. The monsters could be a mananaggal, but they only target pregnant women I think. The world building of the city is based on sari sari stores and poor homes stacked together. I don’t know if the symbols are from igorot tattoos or from another filipino tribe. And I want to say that this is the best animation comparing to the filipino tv shows and animations from GMA ngl. I hope to see more on Kuneho.
The letters are called Baybayin
THANKS!!!
@@LanzAirHuntingVideos Oh my god I’ve been finding out what baybayin is, thank you for telling me and my uncultured brain :3
@@projectarturo2768 tru lol this is animation is totally better than GMA's Magic Legends in Little Princess lol
Thanks! Idk much about our folklore/mythology, ehe
But I'm getting into it!
I JUST CAME BACK AFTER WATCHING, THIS IS AMAZING SAD, the character designs, the bgs, the colours, the compositions, and animation itself. Absolute masterpiece, my favourite work from you so far! 💛💛💛💛

She didn't said that the typhoon was bad ☠
Woah, Hello :D
SAD-ist also knows the "Baybayin" Script and Alphabet (basically it's just "Ancient Filipino"), surprising
yeah sooooo good 👍 sad
as someone who is from filipino parents on both sides of the family but largely disconnected from its culture (raised only in america and only exposed to western culture), going through this animation with my grandmother and seeing her explain different parts of the animation she recognized was a good way to be introduced to my (technical) home country's folklore! incredible animation, absolutely maximum grade.
Your grandma sounds cool :0
Only 1 comment wow
Fun fact: The language used in this absolutely ASTONISHING animation is called "Baybayin", which is a very old Filipino script that no one uses anymore, so it's so cool to see it being used in such an amazing animation made by an equally amazing person! Also, at 4:20 the symbol on the top left translates to ko/ku, bottom translates to ne/ni, and the top right translates to ho/hu. If you put them together, you'll get "Kuneho" which is Tagalog for rabbit.
The world building and lore surrounding this is incredibly captivating! Such graceful storytelling as always!
Feels like a video game should be developed. I buy the heck out of that thing! Maybe a side scroller :o
Both u and Sadist r so COOL
Yeah! Your very correct
I believe there are references of Filipino mythology/Folklore in this animation. For example, The Huge tree that seems to be alive is a Balete Tree. In Filipino Mythology, Balete Trees are where "engkantos" or supernatural beings gather/live and is very sacred.
@@isagani8111 i just learned something new! Wow! That makes the animation more intriguing than it already was! >:O
I absolutely LOVE that we filipinos are getting a really good presentation of our culture thanks to SAD-ist who is a filipino herself. The backgrounds are so gosh darn accurate and I’ve seen some mythological creatures that i’m familiar with such as tikbalang, kapre and more. I love every frame and details you put into this SAD-ist! Like I could never 😩
With that aside, Typhoon Odette is no joke and its straight up traumatizing, and i’m glad to know that people who got affected by it will somehow get the help they need.
exactly!! many things are really accurate in this video itself. ANS YESS THE MYTHOLOGICAL CREATURESS
all i can say is just:
WOOO GRABE ANG GANDA NITO 😭✋

OH MY LORD. You could FEEL the adrenaline, and anxiety, and hopelessness, and the wonder of this world as the animations progresses. Hats to you Sadist, this is going to go far.
You know an animation is great when you have those moments where you forget it's animated
Incredible animation!! the subtle movement in the ambience gives so much more immersion and the background animation for fight scenes go so hard
YEAH!!!
Definitely.
And that’s coming from a master animator!!! 🤩
yay junyyy
Yo juny your right.
THE AMOUNT OF CHILLS I GOT WHILE WATCHING THIS AUGH with the the fight scenes, compositions, color, and sound design, i could totally see this as an animated series or shorts 💚 as south East Asian (viet) seeing how much effort you put into this animation based on your culture is so inspirational. It shows that cultures like these can be represented through stories authentically and with intention.
Literally summed it up perfect ❤️

hello person
This animation came out 10 months ago and I'm still praying we get a series out of this. I'm sooooo intrigued sadist plz
She said she could do a second part if this video went good
Even with characters made out of circles and sticks, Sad-Ist manages to make astonishing animation. Everything here is beautiful and very well done. I got chills when the yellow boi turned in to the plant monster.
THIS IS SO COOL I COULD FINALLY WATCH IT I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!
It's the best animation of the year
I AGREE LAMULIZ
Hi
I've watched it already 4000 times now.
The spider is a filipino game which 2 children has 1 spider each and make them fight in a very thin stick
I really like how Iho (the pink one) is portrayed in combat. They're clearly afraid and inexperienced with fighting. Yet their determination and drive to protect shines bright enough to make them a badass anyway.
Wait they have names?
@@cursedbusta3774 Yeah, SAD-ist revealed their names in the discord.
@@jillc6165 wait what's the discord? or where can i get an invite link, i didn't know she had one lol
Bro this seems like it's 20x better than an animated movie trailer
First off, the animation is austounding, second: I think the first monster introduced that had wings was probably a manananggal. Shapeshifters that discard their lower half at night to hunt, while blending in during daylight. The second ones, the ones that crawl are probably aswangs, or ghouls that shapeshift aswell, but can only hunt during night since they burn in daylight. The creature surrounded by the trees on the first seconds of the vid might be a kapre, not sure about the goat man with a spear so... the person shown in the last section might be a shaman, or an amulet(agimat) holder, perhaps even a (trece) or warriors who fight against the dark forces in phillipine mythology, the emphasis on the moon, means that its the time when these creatures come out, cause filipinos have a belief if the moon is full and bright yellow, the darkness is at its peak, hence why the monsters come out, anyways thats all I know, amazing animation, Mabuhay!
Edit: I just read from another comment that the words from the mask head is read tikbalang which is a half man half horse creature in the phillipines, so it wasn't a goat mask at all lol.
THIS IS SO AMAZING! I GOT CHILLS WATCHING THIS! its so incredible how beautifully u can animate! ur my inspiration!
yo cup toast
agreed
YES CRUMB!
You two should collab sometime!
Agreed crumb
I KNOW RIGHTTT!!!
You know what makes me happy?
The fact that everybody is being happy with her animating, and come here despite it not being dsmp stuff. I love this animation!!
Well 400k compared to 20mili is quite a difference
This is probably one of the rare comment sections where there isn't any toxic commenters. Or when there is toxic viewer, they decided to be decent for once and not spew out bs.
@@monkewithearrings9535 400k in almost two day vs. 20m... in over a year. Whats your point?
@@sethgleason7611 that got multiple millions over night, just cause it’s been a long time doesn’t mean it got that amount of popularity over a long time
I honestly came here because it wasn't dream smp stuff.
I heavily regret not seeing this sooner. This is so well animated it’s jaw dropping. Don’t know if this is meant as a stand alone animation, or if it’ll be part of a series of some sort, but either way, I’m really excited to see what you do next!
I don’t know if anyone noticed or if this was even intentional but there’s foreshadowing in the shadow hand puppet at 1:56 , which looks just like the monster that comes later
This honestly looks like a trailer for a game, this is so sick
or a movie
i hope this is a trailer for a series,i love it
Same
I’m getting a 2D puzzle adventure game vibe.
@@gar-gorothsflames3235 same
Every single background, every single frame, every single design RADIATES life and captivating creativity!! This is BY FAR one of the greatest animations I've ever seen. The emotions were clear, the body language told the story (which is harder to do thank most would think!), the creative liberty taken with each individual creature is GORGEOUS, and the music timing tied it all together so well! I am absolutely in love with this world and the characters! 💛
Wise Words Kazoo Does Art

HARD VOUCH
Idk how you animators can do digital art so well it’s so harddddddd
@@typicalghost6930 Not a digital artist, but it probably takes LOTS of practice like any other skill
This ABSOLUTELY needs to be greenlit for a TV show!
this needs a series like NOW.
I love how the few seconds before the gust blows out the lantern. The Beast heard it first and just stands there menacingly, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. It's a good early indication that he's not one of the others [2:26]
And a nice little detail to foreshadow the twist in addition to some of the campfire scenes. Where the yellow bug shied away from the monster campfire stories even though the other bugs seem intrigued or delighted which we just assumed to be the bug being the scaredy cat of the group.
Oh oh! Right before the gust of the lantern goes out, around 2:16 we see a wide shot of the group, and there’s only 4 members. But when we cut to when the lantern does go out, there’s 5 members. Clearly there was an imposter among them
@@Mercur1onus SUS?!
@Brayboom2x actually I thinkthey represent a Filipino folklore creature named Mananangal, Mananangals disguise themselves as normal humans (in this case kunehos) in the morning and transforms at night to eat unborn children using there tongue, they also leave there lower part of the body (H- sorry if I can't explain stuff right lol)
something like this would be perfect for either an animated movie/series or even a video game.
I think that pretty much shows how well made this actually is.
The hollow knight
@@jonathanSpg imagine something with the style and game mechanics of hollow knight but the map wouldnt be vertical, that be freaking amazing.
You stole the idea right from my head
this would be the trailer
@@tr1nity366 I'm just amazed the variety of people that actually saw this! at first I thought about Ori, but Ori *AND* HK are very similar! I havn't beat either game yet but I'd say I'm about half way through in each game! the amount of Idea's that can be created just from this one thing..
It's just *AMAZING!* Like, the story is just- so many things can happen! you don't/won't know what will happen if the Creator decides to _make_ this a *Series* or something!
The conept of this would make such a good book/novel
I could go on a rant about how amazing all your animations are, but holy shit, this one may be my favourite.
You can feel the story and lore leaking from every frame, the magic and otherworldly atmosphere pulling me into the animation like nothing else. The smoothness of it, the care that was evidently put into it, and the unimaginable amount of time and effort that was clearly put into this blows me away.
I know absolutely nothing about this world, but with the display of this animation alone, all I can think about is scouring the internet for more information; homebrewing monsters and bosses into my dnd campaigns; writing stories inspired by the insane amount of characterisation shown through body language; and perhaps most of all: the indescribable amount of inspiration that this ineffable animation has filled me with, and the urge to create.
Thank you.
This feels like a trailer for a movie that is already planned out a lot. I'm curious to see where the story goes and what secrets will unfold, there's a lot of foreshadowing.
It's based of Hollow Knight so it probably won't go anywhere.
@@genesis1400 Is it tho? I mean sure, there's some parallels, but also the story is kinda its own thing. And btw, read the description: "got some stuff planned about it". I'm sure this is in fact going somewhere.
@@genesis1400 it’s a original animation meaning not based off of hollow knight and also the monsters are from Filipino culture the only that is from hollow knight is the characters and even they are original characters because they are sadists character from her hollow knight mod.
@@genesis1400 only thing similar I can think of is the shape shifting monsters having a slightly similar design to winged nosk, and the fact there are spiders. Not exactly that similar :/
@@genesis1400 Where did you get the idea of it being based off of Hollow Knight?
I like how everything seems so alive, like the tiny movements of the characters and monsters, to some of the background make actions like its breathing.
The intricate and beautifully detailed and realistic animation style Sad-ist has honed with their Dream SMP animatics is brought into full force to tell a wildly suspenseful, beautiful, and chilling story of folklore in an artistry that only they could have ever hoped to achieve. Best animatic yet, cannot wait to see what comes next.
It’s been 3 months after this animation was posted, but I can’t stop watching it every now and then, this is a really amazing and compelling animation. I hope you make more of this cause the small story that we’ve seen so far is binge worthy, keep up the amazing work.
another great animation from sadist! something I always love is how the environment around the action MOVES, the fighting never misses either, and the music by 2WEI is just chef's kiss, this was incredible!! bravo :)
Yee
Yo you that cool fnaf guy
COULDNT HAVE SAID IT BETTER
True true
Yo its the guy who talks about FNAF lore, quick tell him about the lean monster!
As a filipino, SAD-ist using the Filipino written language to spell out Kuneho at the ending is... AHHHHHHHH I LOVE IT!
It has Baybayin language too!
YESSSS
It took me 5 mins or so to realize that "kuneho" means bunny in Filipino, and im a Filipino at that😭
Wow, this is crazy man... I love characters who can portray emotion without dialogue
You are brilliant! Please continue this universe. This is my favourite animation of yours, beating all the DreamSMP ones. I love this.
This feels like both a game trailer, and the start to an animated series all in one, and honestly, it becoming either of those would be absolutely amazing in a way that words cannot begin to describe
Sadist will have her own show one day I swear
This the perfect combination of "cool fantasy world" and "lovecraftian post apocalypse" and I seriously love it, well done
Welcome to Philippine mythology. XD I'm excited to see how SAD includes the concept of the Bakunawa and the Minokawa here o7

I love how almost everything that happens makes a sound, it makes the whole thing seem so alive
Now THIS is a video game concept I wanna see come to life, holy crap
This needs to be a video game. Or a movie. Or something! It's incredible, I'd love to see more of this world
I love how in this video she goes back to her roots and uses The Hollow Knight Artstyle she used to make so long ago and combines it with her country's rich and diverse culture. It's a refreshing switch from the normal Dream SMP stuff and is not at all an alienating change.
I think i saw you multiple times somewhere
I'll be honest, even though the majority of your fanbase originally came from dsmp (including me!) this one is by far my favorite! It's so unfortunate that your non-dsmp vids don't get as much recognition. I just hope you keep making vids like this even if they don't quite have the same popularity.
Honestly i agree. But Sadist is pretty talented. Give it a few weeks and this thing will reach a few million views
once a dream smp animator you will never gain success from other things so if they decided to go down that path its over for them they will never be happy
@@kennethstupid not exactly true! 700k is HUGE for an original animation overall, especially in a short time frame, and im absolutely certain that if sad-ist were to ever go into the animation industry not in the youtube context, she'd be absolutely fine and would thrive lol. Also, never being happy in a result of being less relevant because you dont do fanart work is a total overstatement, less views doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. Fan work can really help creators get out there in the beginning, and eventually their own community forms. :D
@@kennethstupid that's a bit excessive, no? Making a dream smp animation does not equal never being happy lol
I'm part of SAD-ist's server. We have an entire gdoc analyzing the shit out of this. Even with character sizes (Kunehos being about 3-4ft tall) and more
I LOVE HOW YOU SHOWED EXPRESSIONS WITHOUT MOUTHS IT'S SO EASY TO JUDGE THE FACES AND EMOTIONS AAAAAAAAAAAA I LOVE IT
I come back to this every once in a while because this is just one of my favorite videos out there. It's so beautifully animated and the details and the story - I just can't get enough of it.
It's nice that she doesn't feel restricted to making only dream SMP animatics and can make whatever she feels like making.
it was never the case, she made plenty animatics for hollow knight and hamilton before.

Hi
Really excited to see an original animation from you Sad!
Yooooooo dropster!!
HII
Oop, well hello there
There's something about silly little guys fighting against eldritch horrors beyond our comprehension that is just perfect.
I know I'm commenting this years later, but the fact that the blue one switched to a bow an arrow makes me think that the change was because handling a close range weapon didn't give them enough time to save their old friends, so they switched to far range to have more time to save any more of their friends lives
It’s absolutely crazy how one person can animate all of this. Bro this was almost like watching a full on movie, YOUR AMAZING SAD IST! YOU’VE ALWAYS BEEN MY INSPIRATION TO DRAW. :D
Yeah
Ye
Wait..
Uh she's not bro bro
Imagine this being a video game trailer.
The story is so good that this can be made into a game. Hopefully, it will.
Edit: mom, i'm famous
like a dont starve art stile with rain world gameplay and an original story

@@mecalico4647 YESYESYES
if this was a show i would watch it. the silence because the little goobers have no mouths, the unsettling monsters that hide in plain sight. and the detail in backgrounds. The art style is beautiful and the world building is great. the animation is really smooth to.
Sad-ist _NEEDS_ to work with Disney or something, they _NEED_ to make a movie of this, _NOW, RIGHT NOW!!_

@@russeldioneo5187 what do you mean?
with Filipino Folklore being incredibly rich, this is an amazing concept
I really want this to be made into a full fledged game , cute fights monstrosity type of thing , it could either be a very well stylized 2D game like Hollow Knight , or a 3D one like Ōkami , with a vague story alike to Journey for example , maybe a Souls-like even , open world , or chapter based !
The possibilities are endless , you get the point , especially since the video doesn't show much leaning to one aspect over another , Love the art direction , as well as the music. Keep up the good work !
I was thinking the same thing. I would love to play this if this was a game!
I for some reason thinking that this would make a really good game as well
Yeah i also thought of this as a really good game
bro same 😭
My first thought was: THIS SHOULD BE A GAME WTF
That. Was not cute.
youre seriously the best at animating people pulling people out of danger, it packs such emotion!!
No matter how much I re-watch this, I always get goosebumps
I was so engrossed in that story, the monsters were terrifying, the animation was gorgeous, the music was divine, I aspire to what you have achieved here Sad-ist
This felt like a mini movie- or maybe just a long trailer! The plot, the expressions in simple faces, the action, the timing, it's all
✨ immaculate ✨
and I love that anyone could understand because there was no talking
Technically the english text and background music is a little different but eh
Not related to the animation but THANK YOU so much for speaking about the Typhoon Odette, I may not know a lot about the current situation there but I know that people are still struggling and it’s definitely gonna take super long for everything to be alright but this helps out a lot! Thank you again and to those who donated and is sending their prayers for the people affected by the typhoon❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
And related to the animation this Looks absolutely astonishing and AMAZING as always you’ve done a MAGNIFICENT job at this!🤩🤩🤩❤️❤️
Let's pause,and take a look at the effort,details,colouring and shading. To create such a banger must have took long,it legit looks like a trailer. I'm obsessed, LITERALLY👏🏽👏🏽
I will explain the filipino mythical creatures shown here:
creatures introduced:
Kapre - are giant creatures who's believed to live in trees. (1:35)
Diwata - are fairy muses that lives in trees, believed to be harmless unless you did something to them which believed to give curses. (2:06)
Manananggal - are bat-like creatures that can separate their body and only their upper half will wander around flying, it is believed that the only way to defeat it is by attacking the lower half, which shown in the video. (2:32)
At this point i don't know the others but i may recognize them by their appearance.
The horse-like creature who casted the spell under the tree may be: Tikbalang - a horse-like creature that is believed to mislead travelers from the right path, and in other beliefs, they give you hallucinations and it may be the reason why the Kuneho Characters experienced the ground sinking and changing of locations. (2:59)
The shadow creature shown while the characters hide behind the couch, might be: Sigbin - are rat-dog like creatures that hunts at night to suck blood of humans, they can turn invisible from other creatures and humans. (2:50)
The character shown in the last part could be: Babaylan - a shaman, which believed to have access to good and evil forces/creatures, and widely known to have the ability to talk with these creatures, they're like a priest in the old days. (4:40)
Thats the only i can explain.
Thanks I did think some of them were familiar
in 2:55 you see two spider attacked each other like when we used to make spiders fight in a thin stick(ting ting). we usually store them in match boxes with compartments in them.
2:59 the characters in its head are called Baybayin, Philippines precolonial writing system. when you translate means ti/e-ku/o-ba-la-ngo/u which is tikbalang, so you're right. 4:20 is also baybayin when you translate means kuneho
Thank you for the explanation!! It adds so much depth and its v interesting :D
And Kuneho means rabbit!
The lore of how these guys become those huge worm thingies I may never understand, nonetheless this animation is so amazing, the characters and the lore with their little world is insane, so cool to see someone making something surrounding their culture! I know other people do as well but this is another level of insane.
I think it's based on the monsters here in the Philippinesbcalled "aswang". They look and act human in the morning but turn into monsters at night which makes one rabbit turning into a worm make sense. There are different types of "aswangs" but the first one we saw is a Manananggal. (SAD-ist might've got inspiration there). It detaches its lower and upper half making it harder to hunt. Their upper body is winged while their lower body is hidden in the forest. They are mostly female and they feast on unborn babies. You can kill them by putting salt/sand on their lower half.
Not entirely sure if she got direct inspiration but that was the first thing I thought of when watching it.
@@yanyenz7763 That's so cool! I'm not super informed on cultural things but I'm trying to learn, so hearing more about the stuff is really amazing to me! Also the aswangs seem really interesting, why is everything I learn about online so much more interesting than anything I learn in school
@@ozoneinacone i learned about the mythical creatures ones in school, let me tell you. Thats all the class wanted to talk about this lesson.
Ya it’s inspired by the Aswang and
Manananggal
Dang auto correct is so annoying
@@ozoneinacone and the guardian at 3:00 is a tikbalang and the scriptures or symbols at 3:31 and 4:20 I think is baybayin which is an alphabet used in ancient Philippines widely in Luzon.

I have got to say that these animations are of the best I just can't imagine how much work you've put into this good job you've cleared it
When the world needed her, she made another masterpiece
This queen gives us the sustenance that is truly needed
this is whole thing is absolutely stunning. the storytelling, the MUSIC. can’t even comprehend the amount of work that went into this
the name of the animation fits with the main character bc kuneho is filipino for rabbit
@@dudesayshi2191 so cool! i’m filipino myself and hope to become fluent in tagalog some day
@@camilleb51 cool
Same
I rly like that the idea of creatures disguising themselves as other things is shown at the start of the animation. Like with the character looking at the tree, walking past, then the tree blinks at the character. I love that this is a motif; its even echoed in the design choice of the ending title: what we think are symbols…morph into letters & becomes the title. So cool how much thought and work was put into this 👏💗truly amazing
Idk about you guys but I think another Kuneho animation would be absolutely healing for the soul 👌 Obviously, only if Sadist is up to it, I’m not gonna push for it, but if they’re willing I’d totally love to see more of this fantastical world! It’s all so creative and magical and dangerous all at once. Just. Beautiful work all around.
i got so immersed in my "aw, this is so cute" at the beginning I forgot about the blood warning so when the action started picking up I was caught completely off guard. i'm still in awe.
the flowing movement in this is so impressive this is INCREDIBLE
I remember getting so much of those chills that it literally started to hurt. That's how good this is
I'm literally almost crying over how good this is, if this was a series si would watch the hell out of it and gladly pay
The quality of this is stunning, it could literally be its own tv show.. also I love the design and style, it gives me hollow knight vibes :}
Well, the first we saw of this was a Hollow Knight retexture
I want this to become a tv show!!!
gave me Ori vibes, especially the beginning
@@wesleyandrews7212 I want it to bacome a game.
with how the characters are designed, i can definitely see that vibe. whether or not she was actually inspired from hk, im not sure.
To think that we get this kind of quality content for free is astonishing. Be sure to become a Patreon supporter and to donate to the links in the description as well.
PLEASE make more of this!! This is my favorite animation on UA-cam and I would love to see more of it!!!! IT. IS. THE. BEST!
That animation was so epic! It looks amazing. This is what you call a masterpiece.
Smooth animation. Beautiful art style. And thrilling story. Love the title!
OMG SADDD I WAS JUST LIKE AUDIBLY CHEERING ALL THE LITTLE LADS ON, THIS IS WONDERFUL UEEEEEEE I can’t wait to see more of the story slowly unfurl !!!
I KNOW RIGHT? I BE SLAPPING MY PILLOW AND STUFF
Your animations are incredible and I find it so inspiring to see some of your old animations to see how far you’ve come as an animator. I hope to be just as good as you one day!😊
I feel the need to post this here and say you are my biggest inspiration. I love your animations so much and they inspire me to try my absolute hardest to inprove my art so one day I can maybe make something like this. The timing, the beat, the lore, the culture references, all of it is so. Freaking. Amazing. I literally sent this vid to everyone in my friend group and forced them to watch it and they all loved it too. Thank you for doing what you do.

I gotta say, I really enjoy when she animates her own stories. This was beautiful, so much emotion packed into just five minutes. Hope she continues this story, it's really interesting.
I love how she sends awareness to people about the huge typhoon that occured in the Philippines-
Amazing work- keep it up!
Yeah but some just doesn't acknowledge that it's actually based off of a real thing
@@literallyjustali2290 what it is!
ive rewatched this video so many times since it came out, but it still never ceases to amaze me
I need this as an official game, right *NOW* . This is so dang good. 😭
the camera movement and the way you switch between shots is life-changing, a waltz with smoke. your improvement in the last couple of years has been astronomical, with every video you are raising the bar and frankly, i am more obsessed with your skill than ever.
2:55 especially.
