@@TheSpiniawell no, because the guys behind the animation say it's limited animation because it's due to how their animation skills originally were limited, and it carried on as they grew more experienced
@@gonderage well its not limited anymore, they are animating on 12's and 8's, sometimes even on 4's. Its quite an interesting artistic choice at this point.
We never do get an answer as to why Gura left Atlantis in her lore other than "it was boring", but seeing that as an answer to hide something more sinister is an amazingly unique direction to take this. Looks amazing.
Couple things I noticed on Ame's cork board. 2:48 A newspaper article titled "Dead are missing!!!" which could be a reference to Rushia or Ollie. 2:58 Sticky note marking October 14th of 2007 as the day that Ame found gura. The 07 is kinda squished in there which made me doubt it at first, but there are other sticky notes a bit above it dated September 10th and 12th 2006. So it would seem that this series is set in the 2000's.
Rushia, Ollie and Calli I belive, there is a "missing poster" with a picture of Olivia(Ollie), my personal theory is Calli killed *Olivia* and rushia stole her body and turned her into a zombie.
Hololive fanbases always amaze me, pumping out bangers like this animation, Holocure, Idol showdown and other fanmade works Not even other agencies/vtubers can get this even if they can pay for, it just Hololive fans doing what they passionate about
I think it's the ability of the talent to attract passionate, creative people inspired by what, or in this case who they love. I'm greatly reminded of the peak of the Brony subculture, in seeing these works, but I think this even surpasses that, in the sheer volume of high quality products it regularly it inspires
It's also because of how the community and Hololive embraces these things. Someone ones drew a chibi doodle of Ame and it is now one of Hololives most, if not THE most popular mascots. Multiple Holomems played Holocure's new update in the past 2 days and Ame even once mentioned her interest in doing a dub of "HoloMyth Bad End".
Holo fans aren’t just fans but more like a community. The amount of effort freely given by them is outstanding and the comment that other agencies vtubers couldn’t pay to get this isn’t far from 100%. Hololive has become wedged in the community consciousness and people respect the company and most of the talent there. Respect is huge but love and respect make them holofans
If this is a history of how MYTH came to be as a group, maybe how ina found AO-Chan and how Ame found her timetraveling clock, i wonder what situation would be happening to Calli the shinigami to appear... (OhMyGudness Ina is so beatiful
This is my theory. Hoshinova was worshipped by the people of Atlantis, Mumei was the king's right hand advisor. Mumei and Hoshinova shared their knowledge and opinions to improve the civilization. As Atlantis grow, Hoshinova was becoming weaker, and weaker. In that time Cthulhu appeared to devour everything. In order to protect the people Hoshinova engulf Atlantis. And faught Cthulhu alone, sadly due to her weakened state she couldn't defeat it. As the chaos rises Gura manages to survive and on that night. Hoshinova came to her and apologize that she couldn't keep her promise. She erased the day where Cthulhu appeared and Herself. Before she disappeared completely.
And also, possibly some Ina lore as well, iirc there’s only one member of Hololive, at least of EN that I know of with any lore connections to the deep sea and eldritch tentacles. The fact Ina appeared the same episode as that flashback doesn’t feel like a coincidence. Also I’m really hoping we start to see other members as time goes on, if only to see them in this art style. Because it’s honestly pretty great.
It almost feels like a crime having this made entirely for free viewing on TH-cam. This animation deserves to be funded and supported immensely, I loved every second of it.
5:21 ngl that's the same camerawork for introducing Godzilla in the 2014 movie, except one was badass and this is beautiful and charming, both worked perfectly
This literally deserves more recognition and praise. Y'all let the Holo ladies know about this and/or other streamers that are into Vtubers. This needs to be out there.
*OMG, INA IS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!* Dude, this isn't just a Hololive fan film project anymore, it has transcended to be some of the best short films I've seen on this platform!
The opening shot is breathtaking, the eldritch entity is all consuming and unstoppable. You can see the destruction of Atlantis inside the eye at the beach during Gura’s nightmare. Great work everyone at Crash landing studio.
Got Coraline vibes, but I find this animation drawing style superior. Hope this becomes a full feature movie/series eventually. Independent animation work has become far superior than the crap mainline studios put out nowadays.
I love how the low framerate adds to the characters' charm... If I could describe your animation in terms of food, I'd liken it to freshly oven-baked bread. Warm, fluffy and soft... made with a careful, handmade touch.
Pixar has all the funding, animators, writers, and legacy - and you've bested them in two short films. I look forward to becoming a patron when I get a new job lol
Dedication. Love. Passion. All that and more is present with how this turned out. I cannot even begin to convey how much I adore these animations. You all perfectly complement the term "visual storytelling", letting the animation speak for itself. I hope Hololive sees this, so that they know talented people like you all breathe so much life to the fandom.
This was absolutely incredible. While I do not have the knowledge the truly appreciate the amount of effort that must have went into this I at least understand that this kind of superlative quality is something absurd to attain, especially for a fanwork. You did a wonderful job leaning into the animations strengths, the expressions, music and the animation itself doing a wonderful job of conveying emotion and intent in the absence of speech, this was helped along by the environmental storytelling as well, if one is willing to pause a fair bit then someone can find a detail rich environment with a lot of care put into it, dense with references, call backs and bits of information to be gleaned about the girls and how they fit in this world. The opening sequence was spectacular. Within the fandom there has been plenty of conceptions of how Atlantis may have fallen, how, why and when and so on but this is probably one of the most visceral renditions of it I have seen. Ame's scene with the board was also brilliantly done, it conveyed the idea and concept wonderfully while also being detail rich for those who wanted to explore it, but not so much so as to overwhelm and obscure from a more casual viewing. The little references scattered throughout where very cute. The scene of Ame walking into the bathroom did a great job of capturing proper horror vibes in both the music and how the visual information and cues were displayed so that worked wonderfully, the shot of Gura tearing up the board was iconic. Gura puzzling over the picture of Ame and Ina just before Ina turns up was both a good visual in terms of pre informing the reader that Ina and Ame already know each other so helping to contextualise Ina turning up while also expanding on the two's background in this animated series a little, but also the fact Gura fixates on her a little suggests that either Gura was naturally curious about it, or perhaps was making the link between the horror that destroyed Atlantis and Ina, if on a subconscious level if not fully aware of it. Ina's introduction at the end was very well done as well. That steady pan up to show off her design was very nice and highlighted the amount of work you all must have put in to capturing her look and made a great cliff-hanger to end on. Well sorry for the rambling, just saying, thank you again for the great work. It was highly enjoyable.
I was completely engrossed in the story the whole time and then went back to go frame by frame on the detective board. It's clear how much effort, care, and skill was put into this. Absolutely incredible work. Can't wait to see more
Goodness me, I was _so_ happy with your other work and I've watched it over and over but now it's a _series_ with a _story_ and _INA?!?!_ Bless you CLS, you're a wonderful part of this community and we treasure you
I feel like your series of animations is pure art. The visual direction, the way you manage to tell a story without dialogue, it’s all so perfect, I’m always just so stoked to see more. Ultimately it’s just wildly compelling. Thank you for creating and sharing your creations.
This truly has been my main inspiration to actually start telling my stories through 3D modeling and settings, this channel only needs a small team to make such amazing projects in a short amount of time, if you guys can do it so can i!
OMG her holding the little Bloop plush I can't. The voice work you did with Gura is so good, perfect level for how non-vocal your movies are. That Ina is ADORABLE.
Incredible! There were some really stunning shots in this. The scenes of the storm, Gura washing up on shore, and her tearing up the map made me audibly gasp at how nice it looked. You've got a really good thing going here. I thoroughly enjoyed this and I'm excited for what's to come!
GREAT job on the animation! Kudos to everyone involved! It's always hard to believe how talented and skillful Hololive fans can get. This was absurdly high quality!
The moment I realised who'd be introduced in this episode, my heart was made instantly full. You guys are making some truly amazing stuff at a quality I've rarely ever seen from fan projects!
the glints of blue in gura's eyes when there's just the right amount of face shadow is really cool. 2:48 "but that's forbidden love!" and the sound design is pretty stellar too. on my second watch i heard the picture frame fall on the floor after amé slammed the door, i was wondering how it got there and it was at that moment i realized how good the sound is. especially at 3:05. I mean that particular instance may have more to do with the musical score, but yeah.
Both the designs and animation are so full of character and life, even the backgrounds are just brimming with interesting detail, and it's amazing to see how well you folks can weave a narrative together without any dialogue... This is really a superb project. I can't wait to see more installments!
Woah, this was another phenomenal animation! Lots of cool references on that pin board to analyze and dissect! It's also interesting to see that Atlantis seems to have fallen because of the Ancient Ones. Perhaps Gura's encounter with that entity caused her feral nature to let loose? And that ending... What a cliffhanger to end on lmao.
02:35: the lighting temperature contrast and detail for actual windows 03:34: the lighting & volume sense 05:00: the way the frame was framed for focus in movement
First of all, love the animation and storytelling without the use of words, you get to feel every moment of the story taking place and that makes it much more approachable! Second, thank you for making me and my takodachi heart squeal with joy! I am flabbergasted and looking forward to more exciting animations and adventures with the growing cast!
I've never seen a character designed in an artstyle so perfectly until I saw Ina, you guys deserve way more subs because the quality of these animations make me want to watch them in a big screen with popcorn.
I love so much your work! the last frame could be an amazing wallpaper. It's just incredible actually how much beautiful is every scene on screen. Congratst!! ✨🤍✨
back when I found out what the original idea behind holomyth characters was thought it was very inspiring, there'd be so many stories for games and videos that could be made featuring a detective discovering four mythical creatures that have taken human form
god damn i didnt think azathoth ruined atlantis like that, and just because he awoke very little... for the uninitiated, ina is a priestess of the ancient ones, who are quite likely to be the Outer Gods of Eldritch lore, among them is a god known as Azathoth who created all of existence, time, space, law, reality, life, death, everything, even the other outer gods, were all his creation, but he created all of them in his sleep. It is said that if Azathoth was to ever awaken everything would cease to exist, just like a bad dream. the other Outer Gods have gone through extraordinary lengths since the dawn of creation to ensure that their revered elder never awakens, and it is theorized that ina is one of those ways to keep him asleep, by ensuring that if Azathoth's eternal slumber is ever disturbed, ina gifted with the entire combined power of the other outer gods would be able to pacify him. which in a sense makes ina the most powerful being in existence, for if she really wanted... she could end the world just by waking her charge up. for anyone who wants an idea of what that looks like watch *_"Holomyth vs Ina"_* on YT.
I love the style of the models and the way the animation is handled, it creates such a dreamlike feeling which I absolutely adore, can't wait to see the final version!
WARNING! This is all from what little I can infer and my own biases and opinions. Don't take any of this seriously, please. The story implications of this chapter fascinate me. First, I noticed that a fairly large amount of Atlanteans managed to escape The Drowning City but when it cuts to what seems to be the evacuation point, a human lighthouse, the shore is littered with corpses. Except for Gura, which in of itself is a interesting point I'll get to later. With how close so many of them had gotten it seems to me that the Entity deliberately left no survivors but let her escape unscathed. Especially with the final shot of The Eye rising out of the water and looking directly at her. If this theory is correct I can't wait to see what for. Second, Gura's 'impossible' survival. Based on the previous evidence it is more likely than not that if The Eye wanted to it would have killed her as well. To me whatever this entity is, (And I'm betting it's the Ancient Ones.) It spared Gura for a reason that will come to light later in the series. Personally I believe The Eye may have 'infected' (for lack of a better word) Gura in a subtle way, as a type of pawn to use later or due to Gura having some ability or importance to The Eye. This actually leads into another little headcanon I have where I believe Atlanteans would have revered the Ancient Ones as their primary faith. So what if Gura was one of the most devout before the city drowned? that might be enough to sway The Eye into sparing her. Not to mention that when she wakes up her eyes are the same shade of as The Eye, future helping my theory. Third, miss Ina'nis. Truth be told their is not enough of anything to really theorize or get too in depth about, but just her presence is enough for me to have some ideas. mainly two and a bonus one that's mostly for my own headcanon. 1. If the Ina'nis shown here has NOT found the book yet, this could tie in to my second theory, where through Gura they guide Ina to the book. It will also be very interesting to see how Ina'nis behaves around her, because if this Ina has NOT found the book then finding out fish-people/mermaids are real would be reality-shattering. 2. If Ina'nis HAS found the book at this point will Gura be able to sense that? She would be intimately familiar with the feeling that power gives off due to everything so he will she react? Will she be driven by anger or fear? Or will she be able to push it down or aside? Also if Ina'nis has found the book, and it WAS the Ancient Ones who drowned Atlantis, would Ina know about it? If she does know, Did they tell her about the only living survivor? 3. If my Ancient Deities theory is correct in this series, (Which I highly doubt.) Could they, sorta bond over it? Or at the very least understand each other better through it? The High Priestess and The Last Atlantean is an anime I would watch. While I have everyone's attention, I have to gush about the design choice for Gura in this series. It is absolutely gorgeous and fits so perfectly. When it comes to myth the human woman look fits everyone BUT Gura. Ame is a human. not much to elaborate on there. Ina'nis is also a human, just touched by The Ancient Ones but still human so it's a bit shaky but still holds up. Kiara is a Phoenix in human form, which also holds up fairly well, I just think she should've had a permanent tan due to the fire. Calliope is the Grim Reaper also in human form fine as is but I think she should've been a bit more pale. But anyway, when it comes to Gura she is a Deep Sea creature , so the blue tinted gray skin is perfect, the large eyes to absorb more light in the darkness and the slitted pupils focus low light like a cat's. The black lips and gums are also a great touch due to the the saltwater environment she would had lived in. Sharp serrated shark teeth is self explanitory. All in all she looks alien and strange, exactly like how we describe deep sea fish.
Anyone else get Coraline-esque vibes out of this. Not in a bad way at all, that’s just what it kind of reminded me of. It looks stunning and I can’t wait for the next part
As a Takodachi, words cannot express my happiness, seeing Ina being introduced as a character in this amazing series
WAH
Fr bro I was smiling silly when I saw her
We Are Happy about this
Yeah, her consuming that kingdom was very fitting for her personality. /j
@@Elmithian have you read the lore about her and AO-chan?

Couple things I noticed on Ame's cork board.
2:48 A newspaper article titled "Dead are missing!!!" which could be a reference to Rushia or Ollie.
2:58 Sticky note marking October 14th of 2007 as the day that Ame found gura. The 07 is kinda squished in there which made me doubt it at first, but there are other sticky notes a bit above it dated September 10th and 12th 2006. So it would seem that this series is set in the 2000's.
Rushia, Ollie and Calli I belive, there is a "missing poster" with a picture of Olivia(Ollie), my personal theory is Calli killed *Olivia* and rushia stole her body and turned her into a zombie.
Hololive fanbases always amaze me, pumping out bangers like this animation, Holocure, Idol showdown and other fanmade works

4:17 this shot looks like it belongs in a multimillion production. Having something this high quality for free on TH-cam is insane. Kudos to the team.
Personally, I prefer the eye scene at 2:05. Was actually a little scary.
Can't wait to see the full animation. The style reminds me of Tim Burton's work, and that's the highest praise possible.
I knew I couldn't be the only one that got that vibe from it.
Tim burton went crazy after falling down the rabbit hole XD.
Looks better than Burton's, his is somewhat unpleasant.
Henry selick was the man who did the animation not burton
I get more of a Gorillaz video vibe from it.
Any personal theories you have? Leave a comment below 😤 we'll take a look!
This is just a theory
But I think sharks can breathe underwater
theory: Ina is the one who attacked atlantis.
If this is a history of how MYTH came to be as a group, maybe how ina found AO-Chan and how Ame found her timetraveling clock, i wonder what situation would be happening to Calli the shinigami to appear...
(OhMyGudness Ina is so beatiful
This is my theory.
Hoshinova was worshipped by the people of Atlantis, Mumei was the king's right hand advisor.
Mumei and Hoshinova shared their knowledge and opinions to improve the civilization.
As Atlantis grow, Hoshinova was becoming weaker, and weaker. In that time Cthulhu appeared to devour everything.
In order to protect the people Hoshinova engulf Atlantis.
And faught Cthulhu alone, sadly due to her weakened state she couldn't defeat it.
As the chaos rises Gura manages to survive and on that night. Hoshinova came to her and apologize that she couldn't keep her promise. She erased the day where Cthulhu appeared and Herself.
Before she disappeared completely.
The detective board's details made me think about other Myth members joining in and maybe even other Holomems like Council
Holy crap, this looks like a trailer for a full movie.
I like the way Ame is slowly collecting mythical creatures in her house. She knows its gonna be a mess but she wouldnt want it any other way 💛
She really is an anime protagonist.
HELL YEAH WE GOT SOME GURA LORE LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5:36 This is now my headcanon of when Ame recruited Bijou.

5:21 ngl that's the same camerawork for introducing Godzilla in the 2014 movie, except one was badass and this is beautiful and charming, both worked perfectly

03:34: the lighting & volume sense
05:00: the way the frame was framed for focus in movement
First of all, love the animation and storytelling without the use of words, you get to feel every moment of the story taking place and that makes it much more approachable!
Second, thank you for making me and my takodachi heart squeal with joy!
I am flabbergasted and looking forward to more exciting animations and adventures with the growing cast!
The animation is like LAIKA, it’s amazing
man now I cant wait for the weekend just to see this !!
it's natural for a detective to have contact for any occult dealings
u've never thought about it this way before
Love the piano slamming with the bump at around 3 mins in
I've never seen a character designed in an artstyle so perfectly until I saw Ina, you guys deserve way more subs because the quality of these animations make me want to watch them in a big screen with popcorn.
This should blow up. The amount of quality you guys spent on these animations are beyond impressive. You earned a new fan, do hope to see more!❤
can't wait for it!
gura is a real cat 🤣 , 4:12 that is what a real cat do with furniture
I don’t even watch this as holo fan, I just think it’s really amazing artwork and storytelling. It’s genuinely gorgeous.
Ina looks adorable in this art style.
Another AMAZING animation! That beach scene feels so ominous. It's a really good foreshadowing of Ina's arrival. I can't wait so see what comes next!
4:17 I was so giddy I damn near clapped, that shot was so well done
I love so much your work! the last frame could be an amazing wallpaper. It's just incredible actually how much beautiful is every scene on screen. Congratst!! ✨🤍✨
back when I found out what the original idea behind holomyth characters was thought it was very inspiring, there'd be so many stories for games and videos that could be made featuring a detective discovering four mythical creatures that have taken human form
Goddamn the destruction of Atlantis as the start was truly stunning, awesome work.
I am praying for Ina to not be the villain of the story for once.
The mix of 3D, stop animation and brush-like textures is absolutely gorgeous
I just noticed it’s literally a ‚fish out of the water‘ scenario
god damn i didnt think azathoth ruined atlantis like that, and just because he awoke very little... for the uninitiated, ina is a priestess of the ancient ones, who are quite likely to be the Outer Gods of Eldritch lore, among them is a god known as Azathoth who created all of existence, time, space, law, reality, life, death, everything, even the other outer gods, were all his creation, but he created all of them in his sleep.
It is said that if Azathoth was to ever awaken everything would cease to exist, just like a bad dream. the other Outer Gods have gone through extraordinary lengths since the dawn of creation to ensure that their revered elder never awakens, and it is theorized that ina is one of those ways to keep him asleep, by ensuring that if Azathoth's eternal slumber is ever disturbed, ina gifted with the entire combined power of the other outer gods would be able to pacify him. which in a sense makes ina the most powerful being in existence, for if she really wanted... she could end the world just by waking her charge up. for anyone who wants an idea of what that looks like watch *_"Holomyth vs Ina"_* on YT.
Can't believe Ina just came in and didn't say WAH xD
This is kinda adorable! Love your animation!!
I love the style of the models and the way the animation is handled, it creates such a dreamlike feeling which I absolutely adore, can't wait to see the final version!
INA IS SO CUTE AAAA YO WHY YOU GUYS GO SO HARD ON HER MODEL HOLLY
WARNING! This is all from what little I can infer and my own biases and opinions. Don't take any of this seriously, please.
The story implications of this chapter fascinate me. First, I noticed that a fairly large amount of Atlanteans managed to escape The Drowning City but when it cuts to what seems to be the evacuation point, a human lighthouse, the shore is littered with corpses. Except for Gura, which in of itself is a interesting point I'll get to later. With how close so many of them had gotten it seems to me that the Entity deliberately left no survivors but let her escape unscathed. Especially with the final shot of The Eye rising out of the water and looking directly at her. If this theory is correct I can't wait to see what for.
Second, Gura's 'impossible' survival. Based on the previous evidence it is more likely than not that if The Eye wanted to it would have killed her as well. To me whatever this entity is, (And I'm betting it's the Ancient Ones.) It spared Gura for a reason that will come to light later in the series. Personally I believe The Eye may have 'infected' (for lack of a better word) Gura in a subtle way, as a type of pawn to use later or due to Gura having some ability or importance to The Eye. This actually leads into another little headcanon I have where I believe Atlanteans would have revered the Ancient Ones as their primary faith. So what if Gura was one of the most devout before the city drowned? that might be enough to sway The Eye into sparing her. Not to mention that when she wakes up her eyes are the same shade of as The Eye, future helping my theory.
Third, miss Ina'nis. Truth be told their is not enough of anything to really theorize or get too in depth about, but just her presence is enough for me to have some ideas. mainly two and a bonus one that's mostly for my own headcanon.
1. If the Ina'nis shown here has NOT found the book yet, this could tie in to my second theory, where through Gura they guide Ina to the book. It will also be very interesting to see how Ina'nis behaves around her, because if this Ina has NOT found the book then finding out fish-people/mermaids are real would be reality-shattering.
2. If Ina'nis HAS found the book at this point will Gura be able to sense that? She would be intimately familiar with the feeling that power gives off due to everything so he will she react? Will she be driven by anger or fear? Or will she be able to push it down or aside? Also if Ina'nis has found the book, and it WAS the Ancient Ones who drowned Atlantis, would Ina know about it? If she does know, Did they tell her about the only living survivor?
3. If my Ancient Deities theory is correct in this series, (Which I highly doubt.) Could they, sorta bond over it? Or at the very least understand each other better through it? The High Priestess and The Last Atlantean is an anime I would watch.
While I have everyone's attention, I have to gush about the design choice for Gura in this series. It is absolutely gorgeous and fits so perfectly. When it comes to myth the human woman look fits everyone BUT Gura. Ame is a human. not much to elaborate on there. Ina'nis is also a human, just touched by The Ancient Ones but still human so it's a bit shaky but still holds up. Kiara is a Phoenix in human form, which also holds up fairly well, I just think she should've had a permanent tan due to the fire. Calliope is the Grim Reaper also in human form fine as is but I think she should've been a bit more pale. But anyway, when it comes to Gura she is a Deep Sea creature , so the blue tinted gray skin is perfect, the large eyes to absorb more light in the darkness and the slitted pupils focus low light like a cat's. The black lips and gums are also a great touch due to the the saltwater environment she would had lived in. Sharp serrated shark teeth is self explanitory. All in all she looks alien and strange, exactly like how we describe deep sea fish.

I can’t believe Biboo made a cameo.
Anyone else get Coraline-esque vibes out of this. Not in a bad way at all, that’s just what it kind of reminded me of. It looks stunning and I can’t wait for the next part
The WAH has landed! i repeat! the WAH has landed!
