Been 10 years since I saw this concluded. Still gets me right in the feels. I remember the surprise of suddenly seeing Step 2 appear (and the flash didn't run too well on my crummy computer at the time). Then we had to wait three whole years for step 3. But then suddenly we got 3, 4 and 5 within six months. But hoo boy that three month wait between step 4 and 5 was agony.
Making me cry as usual. Fuck... I missed these songs so much. I couldn't understand a single word back then and it still moved me to tears because I grew attached to Doki and Nabi.
Thank you so much! I completely understand how you feel. I couldn't understand Japanese when I was in high school. However, then and now, I cry unconditionally in the last scene when I watch "Gundam 0080".
I love the fact that at first it just seems like a somewhat cute comedy story. But little by little it gets deeper and deeper until at the end you feel satisfaction to see them together. We need more love stories like that.
nah this is the most generic story ever because this is every story ever try watching more they are all the same there actually no romcoms which are straight absolute zero not even one
@@tsartomato oh my god why you gotta bring bullshit like that onto this comment, this person was just complimenting how the story has gone from a simple cute story to a deeply emotional one
@@rock-v4r that should not be complemented that is the same copypaste as everywhere else it's like complementing you for breathing damn THE most notorious love story is still forced drama. romeo and juliet, ever heard about it? that's not deep that's the most superficial
@@tsartomato Generic? You're only looking at this from the surface levels. If you look deeper into this short film, it seems that the story is about a mixed race couple trying to survive in a society that discriminates them.
Have you ever noticed how that dream sequence from 1:08 gets fullfilled at 22:27? First he dances with her, then he runs away with her while holding hands and then he rides with her on a steed (travel suitcase).
The fact that this even existed as *Free* consumable media back when most of us were children screwing around on newgrounds and other sites. I'll never forget those feelings i felt when watching this for the first time. I'd argue it helped shaped me as a person. truly cinema.
That quote is from the final step, released in 2008. The quote is a bit odd too ... it might be incorrectly translated, or there's something more implied by the Korean text. But the quote is the opposite to what the show tries to tell. - The world has to change, and allow interracial relationships, so he can be with his true lover. - But the way way the quote starts with "I thought that", implies that everything else don't have to happen. Meaning, if the world won't change, we can still reach happiness. That the world doesn't have to change. Maybe a better English translation would be "My belief is that,".
@@beltorXD So it was better back in the day of harsh punishment, judged and published for what you are and not what you do. And other bad things that we've moved away from.
for me too, i exactly remember finding this when i was younger and the feeling that a new step has came out always fulfilled me. After some time found it again
20:18 Can we just take a moment to appreciate that little detail of the cat protester falling (literally) in love with the bunny protester after the animals cleared a way through the anti-love crowd for Nabi?
My wife was watching a K-drama on Netflix when a song came up there and my brain got triggered almost immediately, a memory of a cat and a bunny. Then it all slowly comeback to me and I ended up finding this compilation! I remember watching this when I was 15 in Newgrounds, now I’m 35 and this made me tear up triggering a bunch of memories from simpler times. I think this is a fantastic animation that is still great by todays standards! And a beautiful message!
At 20:00 minutes; the last thing you'll then see is Nabi being chased by the crowd, as he tries to get to Doki's home ... and Doki has already left for the airport. - That doesn't sound like the greatest point for it to end for you. > _"Dying before getting to see the last step would fucking suck!"_ As it ends halfway through the last step, that kinda makes it worse.
I remember watching this as a kid. I would have to sneak through my parents' room while they were sleeping. Oddly, I never woke them up. I was a sneaky little bastard. Besides the point. Seeing this on newgrounds, one of the few innocent things I can remember running into. I fell in love with it. It's been years. Out of nowhere, the first song just comes to my head today. Here I am. Still loving it.
Wow, I also fel in love with this years ago, and yesterday at bedtime the first song also just came into my head! Took a while, but I just found it here again this morning now. So greatfull! Maybe it's a piece of magic that sticks inside your mind and pops up when you need it? :D
The last song always stuck in my head since my name is John. This animation was a perfect love story and still holds up nicely. Sam bakza really made a masterpiece
Decades later, and I'll never admit this to anyone irl, but I srill rewatch this series every year or so to make sure I still get teary a few times before the end, it helps me check I'm still human deep inside
It's so cute to see everyone returning to watch these again. I couldn't have been older than 8 when I first found these animations. I'm now 23. These were such a fundamental part of my childhood.
What's deep about this is that she loves animals and every animal she takes care of and rescues, she places them a green scarf. If you notice after the hedgehog's death, she dumps the ashes onto the tree, and ties its scarf onto the branch. That tree with the many scarfs that Nabi finds, is the tree with the scarves of all the animals she (Doki) lost. That drove me to tears. Very very deep.
@@ShadowGaming-ft4fh hence why I agrue it being deep. The psychological impact of multiple tragedy at such a young age yet she persists on is what makes it momentous. I commend her.
@@ShadowGaming-ft4fh there are many implications of the word "Deep", and it depends on the context it is being used. In the one I'm referring to, it's "being immersed" and also "intensely felt." But hey, whatever floats your boat.
It’s actually based on a common tradition in Korea where people tie ribbons to trees as a way of making a wish. The multiple ribbons are a sign that Doki is not the only one wishing for peace. EDIT: I just read the book a little while ago, and it turns out that we're both right.
Since the creator is still reading comments, figured I'd just pass by and say that even after all these years, we all still love, cherish and remember this series and these characters live deep in our hearts! Thank you SamBakZa!
i love the songs i love the animations i love the story i love the characters i love the animation style i love the art style i love the idea of putting so much action in it i hate that thats the end of this series!
My wife is Korean and I met her while teaching over there. I definitely remember the occasional glares, especially from older people. This hits home. Then we moved back to the States and the hate crimes spiked. So it hits home again.
Geez, that's really tough! I'm sorry to hear. What region in the States are you from? I'm guessing not California or other blue states? Though Asian/interracial hate crimes still happen in small pockets of all states.
@@albertbecerra Well, hate crimes against Asians are obviously more likely to occur in the areas that have larger Asian populations. Which tend to be coastal states or hub cities like Chicago. Yeah, most of which tend to be blue states or regions. I would argue, to both of you, that where these hate crimes occur likely has very little to do with the voting habits of the regions it occurs or the person committing the act. Correlation does not equal causation. I can definitely tell you that I don't care about either.
This animation was fundamental to my upbringing and shaped my worldview in a troubled home, and no one, not the creators nor anybody, will ever know the effect it had on me. This has defined me, my beliefs, and this little life of mine and I'm grateful for it.
@@amallocyour work will never be an unheard cry. If it weren't for this series, I'd probably still be in the closet, terrified of what others would think. So thanks, for helping me find myself!
@@amallocyour work was always a fairy-tale for the modern day, and, it touched more people than you'll ever know, thanks for sharing it with world, I'd love to have a graphic novel of this if one exists, otherwise I'll have to draw one up myself!! Thanks again for this lovely story.
I always get goosebumps when the "hate/love" sign at the end starts disintegrating when he hugs her, because he finally realizes that is not about what other's think about their union: if they love each other is more than enough.
Funny enough this sign effect is reversed in the Another Step episode, here it starts as the Hate sign then starts fluturating with the love sign before it gets erased when Doki and Nabi both embrace and drown out the voices of both sides. In another step it starts as the Love sign when Il-ho, Sam-ho and Pi storm Yi-ho and the love extremist main base, it flucturates when the locked up hate protestors get freed and then it's erased when both sides stop fighting and work together to save Il-ho.
So many years later, and still the world tries to put barriers to love. Race, gender, religion, everyone has an opinion on who you should be able to love. And still this little clip, every time, gives me new hope that the world can be better.
@@austinmorrison6953 unfortunately certain races can never see eye to an eye and bad blood between certain races never heals. This is a beautiful story but do not think it can relate to every single individual.
i haven’t even known these characters for a day but they’re a big comfort to me already. even though this show is 17 years old, it’s still amazing. it has made my day so much better
Meh Space Dorito Me too! I’m Japanese/Korean on my mother’s side. Knowing this is about Japanese/Korean marriage makes me love this series even more ❤️
My best friend showed me this during breakfast at High school. She said this was her childhood and I actually really liked it. I'm not friends with her anymore, and I came here because I miss hanging out with her, the animation, the music, everything is beatiful. But watching this after she left my life, lefts a bitter taste in my mouth.
What is impressive is that it's all done without saying a single word. And instead with emotions and the music which helps set the mood for each episode perfectly. That's a powerful message.
i come back here every time i remember a cat and a bunny, and this goes on for years, i can’t even stop drawing them- THEY BECAME THE AIR I INHALE I LOVE THIS SHOW SMMMM

GOD WHY AM I CRYING, i never thought something so simple yet so beatiful could exist I have always believed that love can exist anywhere in any form, so seeing this work of art spread the same message so wide.... its a blessing You all are angels in disguise, thank you so much
1:08 WAIT HE DID ALL OF THOSE THINGS WITH HER IN PHASE 5, WHERE HE DIPPED HER WHEN THE CROWD WAS THROWING THINGS AT THEM; AND WHEN THEY DROVE AWAY ON THE TRAVEL BAG, HE POINTED TO THE EXIT.
Proof that you don't necessarily need to be a knight in shining armour, riding on a white horse, to sweep a lady off her feet. Sometimes, all it takes is just being dressed in street clothes (including a lucky green scarf), and pretty good luggage bag-riding skills. 😆
This is so fricking cute!! I love how the kitty was just minding their own business, then the bunny was love struck! Then as time passes, the kitty soon falls for the bunny!! This love story is so relatable, because sometimes not all lobe it allowed. Yet, they have to stand by their love!! It’s kinda sad, yet it’s so touching and heart warming!!
So glad to see this series survives on TH-cam. It's been a while since I last thought of There She Is!! and with Flash officially dead now I was worried about it. This little series of videos helped me persevere in my darkest years, and I would've been devastated if it was erased from the Internet. 💖
The newgrounds interactive versions are still around. They have embedded a emulater called "Ruffle" onto the original versions, so they're still accessable.
I'm actually here because I got recommended it, plus I usually watch stuff like this. I also watched part of the animation before but I never got to finishing it.
@@janinemurdock2043 all of them are on the website and have been for a good while. They may of been added later after stuffs but thats how i found them
OMG!! I used to watch this when I was a kid, but in a super bad quality because it was reuploaded lolol, now, many years later, I can watch it again but in high quality!! I'm so happy waaaaa, also I loved all the songs!
@@AKA.CrystalStarTheFox You're talking about part 5, right? I think that was like, it passing on or something. Because it definitely died in part 4. If it just, miraculously was alive again in part 5, it'd kinda ruin the impact in part 4, & that whole plot-point wouldn't've had any reason to exist.
@@electromaniac9723 I agree with the statement, as an old newgrounds user the stuff they've had since a remodel back before the mid 00s isnt even close to the fringe music and animation hub it once was. Back in the early days of paragonx9, f-777, bounc3, hania, skymarshall and many others... this series out shined many.
Just a few days ago, I showed my friend this for the first time. We all grew up with NG, but he had somehow missed it. I told him I only had one issue with the HD remakes, and now it's all perfect. I don't know why, but that "but she..." hits me like a truck every time. Glad it's back. Awesome to see it compiled in such a clean manner with the little extra bits. I'll always love this; thanks for everything!
I wish I had more than "This message is so important!" but I'm at a loss. The characters are easy to know and follow, theres hardly a language barrier, and the whole of it all applies to many groups of people. I hope more people can find this animation in the future ❤
Seeing this all those years later still brings a tear to my eye. Thank you for the childhood memories, SamBakZa, your creation is a true gem of optimism that combines tough social questions which were prominent in South Korea at the time, happiness, depression, violence, anger and pure love together into a gem that only could have come from Newgrounds. Long live Doki & Nabi, and may they be happy together forever! ❤
I honestly forgot about this for the longest time having first watched it maybe more than 10 years ago. It hit me then but now being in my own interracial relationship and losing friends and family along the way it really is powerful. I'm glad we stuck it out like doki and Nabi 💕
I remember watching this long ago on Newgrounds. Suddenly remembered it today, and was happy I could find it. This series always made me feel good, and its cool that the creator is still reading these comments! Thank you for such a timeless creation
세상이 너무 차갑고 힘들다고 생각이 들어도, 이 영상을 보면 떳다그녀를 처음 플래시로 보던 꼬마시절의 저로 돌아가게되는 느낌이에요. 유튜브가 없어지지 않는다면, 몇십년이 지나더라도 계속 두고두고 보고싶은 소중한 작품입니다. 생일을 기념해서 오랜만에 다시 시청했는데 정말 행복했어요. 삼박자 작가님들도 다른 사람들에게 배푸신만큼 항상 행복하시면 좋겠어요. 아트북 주문했는데 잘 간직할게요. 감사합니다.
The drama of the history is the impossible love between Japanese and Korean people, Doki (rabbit) is the Korean girl and Nabi (cat) is the Japanese boy
Actually, Doki(bunny/rabbit) is a Japanese girl; Nabi(cat) is a Korean guy. An impossible romantic love between Japanese and Korean people in both S' Korea and Japan during post-WW2
Yeah, apparently there was a time when Japanese people treated Koreans worse than slaves. I didn't know about this until my mum told me some weeks ago. No wonder that romance between these two peoples was frowned upon. As if love could ever be a bad thing.
It's been years since I watched this beloved series, and it's profound message still makes me teary-eyed. One of the best animated series on the internet, and I'm so glad I came across it on Newgrounds back in the day! We all need a Doki and Nabi in our lives.
AFAIK, the next one isn't an "episode 6." It's a different but related story with the same or similar themes, set in the same place and it will feature some of the minor characters in this series as its main characters.
This grew from a cute, comedic love story into a lifetime masterpiece. It crushed me and made me cry, but I still love it so much. I'm so sad that I discovered this years later. From now on, Doki and Nabi will always have a special place in my heart. 짧지만 아름다운 이런 명작을 탄생시킨 삼박자님, 감사합니다!
22:17 It's so perfect, the animation timing their hug right at the peak of the song, gives me goosebumps and makes me tear up every single time. It's a single perfect moment that merges everything beautiful about this series and art as a whole.
I remember watching this as a kid with my sister, drew them in middle school and now re-watching nd getting obsessed again. Thank you for such a beautiful memory you created for me.
SamBakZa, I cannot thank you enough for your work, truly. I became obsessed as a child with There She Is and it helped me accept myself for who I am and inspired me to pursue my artistic career and now I've made it! Finally landed a stable job in art and I'm celebrating by watching again, still makes me cry lol
Congratulations. I was thrilled to read your comment, and I'm so honored that my work was part of the process. I wish you the best of luck in your way.
I stumbled upon this on Y8 when I was little I didn't understand the language because it was in Korean and I was Filipino but I could still get the message and it hit right me in the feels watching this again, thank you for making this you made me feel like a child again hope you're doing great.

Yeah !
Yup
My wife is Korean and I met her while teaching over there. I definitely remember the occasional glares, especially from older people. This hits home. Then we moved back to the States and the hate crimes spiked. So it hits home again.
Geez, that's really tough! I'm sorry to hear. What region in the States are you from? I'm guessing not California or other blue states? Though Asian/interracial hate crimes still happen in small pockets of all states.
@@sdsign4229 are you kidding biggest spikes in crimes happen in blue states
no offensive but is it really that easy to tell?
@@albertbecerra Well, hate crimes against Asians are obviously more likely to occur in the areas that have larger Asian populations. Which tend to be coastal states or hub cities like Chicago. Yeah, most of which tend to be blue states or regions.
I would argue, to both of you, that where these hate crimes occur likely has very little to do with the voting habits of the regions it occurs or the person committing the act. Correlation does not equal causation. I can definitely tell you that I don't care about either.
@@shady8045 Tell what?
This animation was fundamental to my upbringing and shaped my worldview in a troubled home, and no one, not the creators nor anybody, will ever know the effect it had on me. This has defined me, my beliefs, and this little life of mine and I'm grateful for it.
Thank you for sharing your story. Thank you for letting me know that my work was not a useless cry.
@@amallocyour work will never be an unheard cry. If it weren't for this series, I'd probably still be in the closet, terrified of what others would think. So thanks, for helping me find myself!
@@amallocyour work was always a fairy-tale for the modern day, and, it touched more people than you'll ever know, thanks for sharing it with world, I'd love to have a graphic novel of this if one exists, otherwise I'll have to draw one up myself!! Thanks again for this lovely story.
How did I get so connected with 2 characters with under 11 minutes
Heartofrhythms Channel I know right?!
I feel ya
Same here
Me too
Anime magic yall
I always get goosebumps when the "hate/love" sign at the end starts disintegrating when he hugs her, because he finally realizes that is not about what other's think about their union: if they love each other is more than enough.
Also that effect is gorgeous
Funny enough this sign effect is reversed in the Another Step episode, here it starts as the Hate sign then starts fluturating with the love sign before it gets erased when Doki and Nabi both embrace and drown out the voices of both sides. In another step it starts as the Love sign when Il-ho, Sam-ho and Pi storm Yi-ho and the love extremist main base, it flucturates when the locked up hate protestors get freed and then it's erased when both sides stop fighting and work together to save Il-ho.
Step 4 will just happen all over again only much worse.
This is an important piece of internet art, I always comes back to these once in awhile, and they always make me feel happy
Daily. ♥️
So many years later, and still the world tries to put barriers to love. Race, gender, religion, everyone has an opinion on who you should be able to love. And still this little clip, every time, gives me new hope that the world can be better.
the way the animator made this so its fun but it also can relate to the real life world.
good job amalloc
Amalloc didn't make this series
@@angelicgisclair-hadad2743 lmao he did
Don’t you mean the original Korean animator but I just can’t spell his name
Inspirational!
Starts out a cute little love story and ends as a strong message about interracial relationships.
Do you consider the Japanese and Korean races separate???
@@8A8ADave I’m more considering the fact that it’s a bunny and a cat.
@@austinmorrison6953 unfortunately certain races can never see eye to an eye and bad blood between certain races never heals. This is a beautiful story but do not think it can relate to every single individual.
@@8A8ADave those are nations and nationalities you're talking about, but there is no bad blood between japanese and korean people
@@onman14 You should do some research my friend, the Koreans and Japanese have very bad blood because of World War two and Japanese Imperialism
still makes me tear up almost every time I watch it! such a beautifully made piece of art. I love you Doki & Nabi 🥺🐰💗🐱
i haven’t even known these characters for a day but they’re a big comfort to me already. even though this show is 17 years old, it’s still amazing. it has made my day so much better
Me to I’m so happy I found it again 😊
Это сериал?
As a child with biracial parents, I just want to say thank you. Especially because one of my parents is Korean. Just, thank you.
Meh Space Dorito Me too! I’m Japanese/Korean on my mother’s side. Knowing this is about Japanese/Korean marriage makes me love this series even more ❤️
Didn't expect to see you here lol.
:')
korean... and the other? black? white?
Same :)
My mom is black and my daddy is white
Emirichu i love you for taking me back to my childhood 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Same!!!
SAME!!!! UwU
yeah XD
same
Is been 8 year I have watch in til emirchu remind me my childhood
I just suddenly remembered this after years and immediately came find it ❤
Another Step is out now, too. Great timing coming back.
In 2017 I was a kid and find this 😂
"I'm gonna watch There She Is!!! again." I tell myself. "I'm not gonna cry at Step 4!"
Then the guitar begins and the tears flow.
So true
Me:
My best friend showed me this during breakfast at High school.
She said this was her childhood and I actually really liked it.
I'm not friends with her anymore, and I came here because I miss hanging out with her, the animation, the music, everything is beatiful.
But watching this after she left my life, lefts a bitter taste in my mouth.
Why aren't you friends with her anymore
@@slaythotscringeguy6984 Eh, I did an small joke in the bus and she ignored me during 2 weeks.
Sheenpai LovesU You dont need her,Ive been through something like that. I got through it and so will you. Rooting for ya!😊😊😊
Stay strong ^^
Sheenpai LovesU f
9:44 hold up..... did they really just use a pokeball as a reference...... but censor it to prevent copyright claims?
Sander Van Noort yes you did
Yes
Lol
I was gonna say 😂
@@kitsdos5325 Correction. Yes they did.
This brings me back to the glory days of Newgrounds. Such nostalgia and good feelings.
Who remembers this on newgrounds? I'm so happy that emirichu is introducing this gem to many people
I saw it on abs, then never saw another till i revisited the origional on youtube like 13 years later to find out there were more :S
I first saw this in my local library anime clubs back when I was in middle school.
When did emirichu talk about this video?
Watching this for the first time
Meeeee
Yes!!!!

@@noturnoandre1 oh yeah, isnt the hedgehog alive but just injured
@@cazzman8559 ya, i agree with u
All the emotions I felt the first time have come back. Thank you so much for such a wonderful series.
What is impressive is that it's all done without saying a single word. And instead with emotions and the music which helps set the mood for each episode perfectly.
That's a powerful message.
i come back here every time i remember a cat and a bunny, and this goes on for years, i can’t even stop drawing them- THEY BECAME THE AIR I INHALE I LOVE THIS SHOW SMMMM
The "But she..." detail killed me of emotion! it is something that in the remastered version wasn't there, I feel very nostalgic right now :'v

So true!
Lol
I first saw this animation back in newgrounds when I was a young boy, thank you for the tears and the joy you brought me with your animations.
This is and will always be one of the greatest love stories told w/o words as far as I'm concerned!
Better love story than twilight
Step 1: "There She Is" by Witches
Step 2: "Happy Birthday to Me" by Bulldog Mansion
Step 3: "Tertiary Sex Character" by TA Copy
Step 4: "Wolsik" by Tabu
Step 5: Greensleeves to a ground, and "Imagine" by Brunch
Yes
Thank you!
AHHH THANK YOU IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THESE SONGSSS
Are any of these songs on spotify
Aaron Guillen no i don’t think so. i looked some up and they didn’t comeup
Genuinely makes me upset that so few people know about this series.
Yeah
Same
Is there more?
Found this in Newgrounds way back then, I try to come back here to rewatch this every year. This was one of the first animations I attached to.
Was legendary on Newgrounds back in the day
This video touched me. Even now after all this time, I remembered it and had to watch it again. Much love to everyone.
GOD WHY AM I CRYING, i never thought something so simple yet so beatiful could exist
I have always believed that love can exist anywhere in any form, so seeing this work of art spread the same message so wide.... its a blessing
You all are angels in disguise, thank you so much
it
its about love between the koreans and the japanese
@@lutherkingjustruis2755
And between anyone else who truly wishes for love, and is willing to act on it unselfishly. 😎

WAIT HE DID ALL OF THOSE THINGS WITH HER IN PHASE 5, WHERE HE DIPPED HER WHEN THE CROWD WAS THROWING THINGS AT THEM; AND WHEN THEY DROVE AWAY ON THE TRAVEL BAG, HE POINTED TO THE EXIT.
Omg the foreshadow
omg i just notice this 6 years later :0
Proof that you don't necessarily need to be a knight in shining armour, riding on a white horse, to sweep a lady off her feet.
Sometimes, all it takes is just being dressed in street clothes (including a lucky green scarf), and pretty good luggage bag-riding skills. 😆
Ooooo
22:28
This is so fricking cute!! I love how the kitty was just minding their own business, then the bunny was love struck! Then as time passes, the kitty soon falls for the bunny!! This love story is so relatable, because sometimes not all lobe it allowed. Yet, they have to stand by their love!! It’s kinda sad, yet it’s so touching and heart warming!!
Brooklyn Darkage did you just assume that cats gender....wow
blehblehbleh 2570 I’m assuming that’s a joke.
oh snap
No pronouns were mentioned in this comment
blehblehbleh 2570 they didn’t assume gender at all. Also why are upset by someone assuming gender just move on and get over. It doesn’t matter 😒
Still worth watching 10+ years later
Back when the internet was simple, I miss these days.
OtherMichael yeah...
Oh yea
Now it's gonna be taken over by a corporation channel
I'm 30 and I STILL CRY EVERY GOD DAMN TIME
Me too
So glad to see this series survives on TH-cam. It's been a while since I last thought of There She Is!! and with Flash officially dead now I was worried about it. This little series of videos helped me persevere in my darkest years, and I would've been devastated if it was erased from the Internet. 💖
The newgrounds interactive versions are still around. They have embedded a emulater called "Ruffle" onto the original versions, so they're still accessable.
All this time and this still brings me to tears. This holds up so well, both in story and animation quality.
Everyone here from Emirichu while im just here from like, 10-ish years ago
I'm actually here because I got recommended it, plus I usually watch stuff like this. I also watched part of the animation before but I never got to finishing it.
@Naxeum I didn't either, then I remembered I've watched like one video of theirs
Same. If I remember right, weren't the first two episodes of this loaded onto Newgrounds? Pretty sure that's where I first saw this.
@@janinemurdock2043 yeah the first two episodes were put up on Newgrounds, I think the other episodes were as well actually
@@janinemurdock2043 all of them are on the website and have been for a good while. They may of been added later after stuffs but thats how i found them
yeah awesome glad I can watch the complete all together in HD now!
dang y'all are so cool! xD
ya I was just thinking about it today and here it is. Awesome!
Shank X thats so cool, i was thinking about this series about a week ago or so. such a great animation
맨 처음 댓글이 영어라니....
OMG!! I used to watch this when I was a kid, but in a super bad quality because it was reuploaded lolol, now, many years later, I can watch it again but in high quality!! I'm so happy waaaaa, also I loved all the songs!
I like to think you watched my reupload. 11 years ago I think my versions were the only ones up on TH-cam lol. I love this series
@@WubbyPunch Probably it was your reupload! hehe. Also, where did you get this series 11 years ago?
@@honeybutterchips3362 ripped it from newgrounds and uploaded it at the highest possible quality back then... Which was like 480p at the time lol.
@@WubbyPunch ohhhh
ME TOO!!! WAAHH
Saw it decade ago, still crying - The kdrama Miss day and night brought me here again ❤
I shazamed the song because I knew it was familiar, did not expect to be brought back here!
Doki's pet... ;-;
I'm crying for the rest of my life
He will always be remembered
:( this makes me sad
( T ʖ̯ T)
@@zoinksitsanarchy I think in 4 I saw her waving goodbye to her pet
@@AKA.CrystalStarTheFox You're talking about part 5, right? I think that was like, it passing on or something. Because it definitely died in part 4.
If it just, miraculously was alive again in part 5, it'd kinda ruin the impact in part 4, & that whole plot-point wouldn't've had any reason to exist.
Right in the nostalgia.... Oh newgrounds how I miss you.
But Its still around.
@@electromaniac9723 But the content isn't what it used to be.
@@dfghIL what do you mean?
@@electromaniac9723 I agree with the statement, as an old newgrounds user the stuff they've had since a remodel back before the mid 00s isnt even close to the fringe music and animation hub it once was.
Back in the early days of paragonx9, f-777, bounc3, hania, skymarshall and many others... this series out shined many.
@@spacecadet0 you are agreeding with dfghjIl, im also a old newground user but i haven't seen the today stuff from that site.
Still being amazing after 8 years.
Thanks SamBakZa for all your work.
I remember watching these as a kid so many years ago. Crazy how things can stick with you throughout the years.
Just a few days ago, I showed my friend this for the first time. We all grew up with NG, but he had somehow missed it. I told him I only had one issue with the HD remakes, and now it's all perfect. I don't know why, but that "but she..." hits me like a truck every time. Glad it's back.
Awesome to see it compiled in such a clean manner with the little extra bits. I'll always love this; thanks for everything!
I wish I had more than "This message is so important!" but I'm at a loss. The characters are easy to know and follow, theres hardly a language barrier, and the whole of it all applies to many groups of people. I hope more people can find this animation in the future ❤
2021 and still loving it.
You got that right
2022 and still loving it! such a lovely story with great music too
@@dakotaneeley6000 2022 22 hours haha
2022 and I love you.
Seeing this all those years later still brings a tear to my eye. Thank you for the childhood memories, SamBakZa, your creation is a true gem of optimism that combines tough social questions which were prominent in South Korea at the time, happiness, depression, violence, anger and pure love together into a gem that only could have come from Newgrounds.
Long live Doki & Nabi, and may they be happy together forever! ❤
I swear it gets better every time I watch an upload.
This should be a show.
That scene in the airport gives me goosebumps every time. XD Such a great story!
I can't stop crying Everytime I watch there she is. Thank you for the great memories.
I honestly forgot about this for the longest time having first watched it maybe more than 10 years ago. It hit me then but now being in my own interracial relationship and losing friends and family along the way it really is powerful. I'm glad we stuck it out like doki and Nabi 💕
Que triste que en EEUU siendo la capital mundial siga existiendo el racismo. De verdad es de no creer, en una sociedad tan avanzada e inteligente.
I just finished watching this and....
I....
LOVED IT SO I AM GOING TO WATCH AGAIN!!!
Me too!!!!
Sems
Yes.
literally just did the same fucking thing, FUCK YEA
Everybody does if they dont love it then they should try to do it by themselves cuz haters gonna hate
A decade later, and the music, the emotions that this pulls into me make me both happy and sad, and that's the cycle of life. Thank you.
Way older than a decade. I remember watching this in 2003
I remember watching this long ago on Newgrounds. Suddenly remembered it today, and was happy I could find it. This series always made me feel good, and its cool that the creator is still reading these comments!
Thank you for such a timeless creation
세상이 너무 차갑고 힘들다고 생각이 들어도, 이 영상을 보면 떳다그녀를 처음 플래시로 보던 꼬마시절의 저로 돌아가게되는 느낌이에요.
유튜브가 없어지지 않는다면, 몇십년이 지나더라도 계속 두고두고 보고싶은 소중한 작품입니다.
생일을 기념해서 오랜만에 다시 시청했는데 정말 행복했어요. 삼박자 작가님들도 다른 사람들에게 배푸신만큼 항상 행복하시면 좋겠어요.
아트북 주문했는데 잘 간직할게요. 감사합니다.
주문 확인했습니다. 감사합니다! 보는 분들이 행복하다는 글을 읽으면 저야말로 기쁘고 신나는 기분이 됩니다. 덕분에 또 하루를 일주일을 버티는 힘을 얻어요. 유튜브 사라지면 또 다른데 올려놓을테니 몇 번이라도 필요할 때 찾아주세요.
I still love how at the end 22:28 everything Doki dreamt about at the beginning 1:08 comes true in like 5 seconds :D
Except they ride doki's luggage instead of a horse XD
QNUA LEGEND still majestic as heck
QNUA LEGEND YES THANK YOU FOR POINTING THAT OUT QNUA.......
The drama of the history is the impossible love between Japanese and Korean people, Doki (rabbit) is the Korean girl and Nabi (cat) is the Japanese boy
Actually, Doki is the japanese one (Doki=Heartbeat) and Nabi, the korean (Nabi is a popular name for cats in Korea).
These bring back memories.
always tough its north / south Korea..
Actually, Doki(bunny/rabbit) is a Japanese girl; Nabi(cat) is a Korean guy.
An impossible romantic love between Japanese and Korean people in both S' Korea and Japan during post-WW2
Yeah, apparently there was a time when Japanese people treated Koreans worse than slaves. I didn't know about this until my mum told me some weeks ago. No wonder that romance between these two peoples was frowned upon. As if love could ever be a bad thing.
It's been years since I watched this beloved series, and it's profound message still makes me teary-eyed. One of the best animated series on the internet, and I'm so glad I came across it on Newgrounds back in the day!
We all need a Doki and Nabi in our lives.
22:17 It's been 12 years and this part still makes me cry!!! 😭😭😭
Same here!
They were crowdfunding to get a sixth episode. Still in the works as of last month
Why the need for episode 6? I thought it wrapped up nicely.
@@corentinesummers8259 It's for the origin of the gang of rabbits!
._.
AFAIK, the next one isn't an "episode 6." It's a different but related story with the same or similar themes, set in the same place and it will feature some of the minor characters in this series as its main characters.
This grew from a cute, comedic love story into a lifetime masterpiece. It crushed me and made me cry, but I still love it so much. I'm so sad that I discovered this years later. From now on, Doki and Nabi will always have a special place in my heart. 짧지만 아름다운 이런 명작을 탄생시킨 삼박자님, 감사합니다!
22:17 It's so perfect, the animation timing their hug right at the peak of the song, gives me goosebumps and makes me tear up every single time. It's a single perfect moment that merges everything beautiful about this series and art as a whole.
I remember watching this as a kid with my sister, drew them in middle school and now re-watching nd getting obsessed again. Thank you for such a beautiful memory you created for me.
I love that she gives her pets the green ribbons and he has a green scarf. He was hers from the very beginning. ❤
Emirichu, thank you. (:
bbysushii indeed
bbysushii couldnt agree more with ur comment,thak you emirichu!!!
Yeah! Thanks Emrichu!
Yeah....................O^O
Some people were blinded by their own tears because how beautiful this story is and mistaken the dislike button as the like button
SamBakZa, I cannot thank you enough for your work, truly. I became obsessed as a child with There She Is and it helped me accept myself for who I am and inspired me to pursue my artistic career and now I've made it! Finally landed a stable job in art and I'm celebrating by watching again, still makes me cry lol
Congratulations. I was thrilled to read your comment, and I'm so honored that my work was part of the process. I wish you the best of luck in your way.
