I really dig about this animation, especially the overall aesthetics of the DAOT world. Tho if I can gave a bit of input......can you guys make the Space Marines Guns (especially the Rifle) sound more punchier please ?
I love how the human warships have recruiting ads playing on their side, even when they are in combat, in deep space far from anywhere anyone would see them. Really speaks to the mindset of the Barakan's corporate overlords
@@crystalclearchaos5387 Helldivers you may not get recruiting ads on the side of the Super-Destroyer, but you do get a big screen on the embarkation deck that runs commercials for products like *EAGLE SWEAT* (tm), which is sadly not a Gamer-Girl Bathwater style product of Eagle-1's bottled perspiration.
i mean this 40k before it was even called 40k. do believe the creators or someone in the dev team has stated that this shares the same universe as 40k but in humanity's golden age way before what they are now.
I like how the Shigue are a herbivore species. I mean, they clearly make those horse noises, as well as speak of their diaspora as a migration, dub the Barakan as "predator" contacts, speak their people as a herd, and speak of plains as if they are gods. Also, the 'Longhorn" seems to be the commander of that anti-orbital platform. I love those details, nice worldbuilding.
They also seem not to relish bloodshed, but are willing to fight for the herd. They’re clearly just on a migration and simply crossed the path of corporate facists. I bet it’s all so they can get more tech which is worth money. They don’t seem like a species that would start a war
I tell you what, I am immediately more intrigued to learn this is more than a "LegaLlY DistInCt" 40k fan animation. It is its own thing, with some nice inspirations worn proudly upon its sleeve. And to take the time to construct a language system as well for the non-human assets is exciting!
well, this is heavily inspired from 40K so I wouldn't be surprised if they got the attention of some cosmic horror that wants to eat them and us humans will probably run into it soon enough and go from predator to prey but unlike the aliens we will try to fight back because we preferred to remain predator.
@@KalashVodka175The first video did state that the aliens are refugees from a "Cosmic Disaster", which may imply they are running from powerful existential threats or a sentient cosmic force.
@@KalashVodka175it doesn’t matter what they are, the mega corps of the hegemony will exploit everything of value from them ranging from technology, body parts or just use them as entertainment animals
It’s funny how they’re the Elites, but the other don’t care if one of them died. They just brush it off and carry on. Comparing to Space Marines, who does a funeral rite and stuff, and losing one is actually considered a massive loss. While the Barakan just says “02 died? Should’ve listened”. It really shows just how uncaring and depressing this universe is.
Am so surprised how damn professional this looks at some shots. Absolutely is a big animation bump! Am a bit sad we don't see enough of the Kotar killing the aliens, but the worldbuilding is damn good. Am very happy at least that the Barakan are stable enough to joke around and be able to communicate with each other coherently. Compared to how twitchy they seemed in the first ep, lol.
The mercenary aspect of the squad leader sending out a sufficient 3 man team for their maneuver, not risking the remainder or himself is nice touch. Your show-rather-than-tell storytelling ability is always superb.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE LANGUAGE HERE! Like, so much effort has clearly went to this that I feel amazed. Thought for a while that Barakan's marines were talking Japanese as it sounds a little similar, but I'm not sure at the end. But the Aliens and their design - Phenomenal!
4:07 Oh my God, that's amazing. At first I thought you were having the Humans speak another language entirely, but no, the Barakan speak in some sort of Combat Cant or something, that's using less syllables to convey information quicker, and potentially to be harder to decipher if their communications channels are breached!
Keep this up! Though short I saw and heard many bits of lore for this burgeoning story. I am especially fascinated with the aliens they give me strong Beast-men vibes
I really can't get enough of this. The linguistic construction, the environmental detail, the sheer awesomeness of the combat, its just too good. Continue doing what you are doing, and please continue to take your time. I think those of us who really enjoy this are willing to wait.
Project morning star have done their part. Time to do ours gentlemen! give it comments and all the upvotes! Lets boost this thing to the top of youtube!
I am loving the almost Jin-roh style armor. In silhouette them walking out of the fog made me immediately think of that film. Loving every moment of this.
Top quality animations! And I love the use of multiple languages. Makes so much more sense than every human speaking "common" for the sake of ease. Really gives depth to the backgrounds of all the characters. Ngl I wasn't expecting aliens, I thought it was two different human factions fighting in the first part, but I absolutely love where this is going!!
@@danilapolesciuk4316 i totally missed that lmao. I just thought they were a different human empire with a totally different visual style to the Barakan. I tend to get lost taking in all the little armor details on animations like this
What an amazing bump in quality! Better direction, lighting, action, animation…everything! If they keep this up this could reach Astartes’ level of quality…and go even beyond it!
I like that the Shigue appear to be herbivorous herd organisms but aren't unable to hold their own in combat. Sure, they got their asses kicked by a boarding team but that was shock-and-awe and these are just soldiers against super-soldiers. They still have guns that can kill spaceships, and their weapons aren't exactly ineffective, they're just outmatched. Makes you feel bad for them as they get slaughtered by corporate-contracted murder cultists. "Weak Herbivores that avoid combat" are one of those things that I hate as a trope. Like, if that was true, Elephants and Rhinos and Moose wouldn't be armed to the (literal in the case of elephants) teeth.
WOOHOO PART 2'S FINALLY OUT! Love that we get a good look at the Shigue proper. Definitely feels a lot more sympathetic of a xeno race than their inspirations lol. Barrakan suitably threatening too.
i mean i dont think its combined. if i remember correctly the creators/devs stated that this is in the 40k universe before they were called 40k. this is suppose to portray the golden age of humanity in the 40k universe before what they became now.
Great video. I wouldn't want to be near to the Big boys, just hearing them speak is frightening, like their on the verge of losing it.❤ Criticism: 1 You made the knife attack much better than last episode, last one didn't feel right.
