      Two trailers I recommend you go over are "Your Color" Acheron trailer since it will be more satisfying than watching the in game ad. Since the ad is directly connected to that trailer. The second which is probably that you were bugged about it sparkles' trailer "Monodrama" which has a great score. It could also be about the Myriad Celestia Trailer - "Sparkle: Behind the Curtain" whish a fully animated trailer which is interesting. I would love to see a deeper analysis on these, since while I like them, I want to know what makes them so enthralling.

    A little explanation in the Black Swan/Acheron animation
    Black Swan, as a Memokeeper, is a living Memory, a meme that can take physical form.
    When she looked into Acheron's memories, she glimpsed the True form of IX, the Nihility, which is a black hole.
    In that instant, Black Swan was very nearly close to the one thing that could destroy memories. True Emptiness.

      @@silverlord7931 Yep, but Black Swan is a memokeeper - which, if Welt can be trusted, means she doesn't actually have a body. She's a memetic entity, similar to Penacony's memes, or the Memokeeper aboard the express. Well, I think she's actually Cremator based on some of her statements in the short, but she'd be a memtic entity regardless. Unlike Penacony's memes she has some control over memoria, meaning she can exist outside Penacony.

    Hoyo animators go hard, glad you found them. If you're looking for more in that universe, there are a number of Star Rail character trailers that have a lot of cinematic depth. They are 2-ish minutes, and graphically, much closer to what you'd experience in game. There are a lot of these trailers, some not quite as deep, but the top 5 (imo), Acheron, Kafka, Blade, Sparkle, and Silverwolf, are excellent and well worth a watch.

    It's kind of funny how random a lot of these must seem without any context at all. They're doing a good job at making the narrative as clear as possible within the short itself but ultimately there is still a lot that gets lost if you're not familiar with the story.

    Two other animated shorts from Star Rail I recommend watching are "Monodrama" and "Your Color", in that order. Monodrama is about the girl (Sparkle) with the mask and the fish, and Your Color is about Acheron, the girl that demolishes Black Swan in her memory. The art is striking, and the music is superb.

    This is a big hole u are about to fall in couse both Honkai Star Rail and Honkai Impact 3rd animated shorts are mindblowing both in how they tell stories and the amazing music.
    In case of HSR, the Animated shorts are there to cover some gaps in lore or to tease the players with upcoming content.
    I suggest u check out the Character trailers of this game as some will make some of the shorts make sense but also becouse they are master pieces in every way.
    The myriad Celestia trailers are also very facinating since they show lore but are there with the rest when it comes to visual and audio storytelling.

  • @exigentspr.4899
    @exigentspr.4899 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +21

    Honkai impact 3rd animations are typically mixing 3D CG and 2d in a creative way to make the animations look good, note that these animations are much older for the company and you get to see how the animation teams got better over time, from a small indie mobile game company with no PC ports to a billion dollar company that is top 10 private companies in the world. With triple A games.
    Honkai Impact 3rd is probably the best indicator of a team that has developed over time while making a sad yet hopeful story giving us great connections with the main cast. (I highly recommend using a user-submitted Playlist rather then the offical Hoyo one to go in order)

These animated shorts usually are for VERY important characters (1st one with the white haired guy, 2nd one the water dragon guy, or the gambler guy), an advert or a celebration. while the myriad trailer usually is more for world building and lore stuff, things that expand the game's universe. And finally the character trailers where its one of the best thing to watch if you wanna know about a specific character, how they play in game, show parts of their lore or teases what they do in the story

    If you wanna see an anime director who tries to make every scene look like it was shot by a real camera, look no further than Naoko Yamada.
    The movie, Liz and the Blue Bird, is what happens when you give her free reign. She makes excellent use of diegetic sound in that film too. I recommend watching Sound Euphonium before the movie though since it's part of a larger series.

I played only a bit of HSR but I always watch their animations and trailers, they go super hard and I love it - "Rondo" and "The Flash" are my favorites from this batch

    I love Jing Yuen's short, it's so good, I love both characters (Ignoring ice boy for that compliment; he's fine, but not a fav of mine), I also still can't believe they got Monarch (Amalee) to voice Jing Liu. Also it's really cool to see some of the in game abilities depicted in the anime art style. Have you done the Cinematic trailers too? They're really good.
    Also, Sparkle's cinematic is kind of part of a trilogy of cinematics they released, with her origin story, the cinematic trailer and then the one about her not being a "main character."
    Something else I think is interesting to note is how much they've improved in their cinematic trailers since launch, as they seem to get more and more masterful in their cinematography over time. Wonder if the people involved learned and got better, or if they acquired new talent specifically to make their trailers more impressionable.

    If you love these trailers, then you’ll definitely also enjoy the individual character trailers. They use the same 3D style that is present in the actual game. A lot of the music in them is even better than in these animated trailers.
    There are even game version trailers. The one that I definitely would recommend watching is the 2.0 trailer for the release of Penacony.

    Great watch! To add to others requesting an analysis reaction or just reaction to the Honkai Impact 3rd animations, please use a custom playlist for the Honkai Impact 3rd animations such as this one: th-cam.com/play/PLRSol-DADPHqm2rX_LdqOyJXhN9UNs56g.html
    The official playlist has a bunch of duplicate videos, missing videos, and are sometimes out of order which can be confusing; and nobody recommends using it. If you want a more concise playlist of just the best animations due to time constraints or whatever, let me know and I'd be happy to make one for you. Or maybe you could make a bit of a video series out of them.
    There are also many other lore-related videos outside of the above playlist that are not included, but you can largely follow the story just from the animations themselves. These animations play in-game at the end of a story chapter, so you'll be missing some context.
    Also, Hoyoverse owns all of the music in their videos and does not copyright strike anyone for reacting to them. You may see the company name "Mihoyo" as well; Miyoho is the name of the developer studio in China that created the global brand "Hoyoverse", so they're essentially the same thing.
    Lastly, here's the official playlist link for the Honkai Star Rail character trailers that others have mentioned: th-cam.com/play/PLi18Roijwy3NkAS9DbMKgmmd9E9MubrN4.html
    The playlist is listed from newest to oldest, so if you want to watch in order start at the bottom and work up.

    @JM-nothing-more 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    the game does unfortunately not look like this, it's very stylized but 3d
    it's actually a sci-fi game, but more in the sense of Star Wars where there are still magical elements sort of like the Force, as well as god-like beings and such

    • @JM-nothing-more
      @JM-nothing-more 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      to explain the two least obvious trailers a little:
      Rondo was a bit of a bait and switch with the rather intimate tango section, but it makes the juxtaposition with the second half all the more impactful
      the narrating character, Black Swan, can read people's memories by getting close to them, so she used the dance invitation to do just that but got way more than she bargained for
      the Your Colour advert was indeed an in-universe ad played within a 3d trailer of the same name for Acheron, the second character in the Rondo animation

    • @JM-nothing-more
      @JM-nothing-more 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      for the most part, yes, although in some cases the characters also use tech
      the in-universe explanation is that if someone aligns their own ideals very closely to one of the aforementioned godly beings', they can draw power from it
      e.g. Black Swan aligns with Fuli the Rmemebrance, hence memory abilities

    I really enjoyed your insights on the animation for the Flash short. It was fascinating to see you point out details I never noticed, even on repeated watches XD
    If you found these interesting, a lot of Honkai Star Rail character and myriad celestia trailers are quite good watches as well. Some of their early trailers are a little lower in quality, but you can notice that they started gaining their stride (and budget XD) as they made more trailers.
    Plus! If you found some of the characters here interesting, those trailers would fill in a lot of gaps for you with their storytelling I think

  • @austinmartin612
    @austinmartin612 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    With the Lion and Dragon animation, the Dragon respresents "the boy with the water powers" and the Lion reprensents "the white haired guy from the first animation." Right before the water magic comes in with the save you'll see Jing Yuan(white hair) give a quick glance/nod to Dang Heng(the dragon guy). And they can share that wavelength because before his reincarnation Dan Heng was best friends with Jing Yuan; truly the story of the Lion and the Dragon

    I think the most powerful part about Rondo Across Countless Calpas is that it's Black Swan (the main character with the hood) is that it's so erotic because she is quite literally invading the "memories" and the mind of the other woman. It's inherently a very intimate task, and yet it's utterly turned on her with that incredible predatorial imagery.
