      This reminds me alot of Sebastian Vettel's X2010 challenge from Gran Turismo 5. The OP car you're given, the fact that the ghost is Seb himself, and just one mistake being extremely punishing leading to hundreds if not thousands of attempts to get the gold medal times. He was basically the unofficial final boss of GT5.

    Criminally underrated in the views department. Great work, seriously. If I can boldly give you guys unprompted advice from a place of wanting to see you succeed...I think you might have a better job getting this seen with a different thumbnail. Try something intense and locked in on the protag driving. I wouldn't get from first glance that this is a 3D anime. The thumbnail being 2 cars isn't as engaging as it could be. Good luck guys, keep it up!

      I might have to respectfully disagree on that though. The old thumbnail featuring two cars drifting side by side looks far more appealing to me because I instantly know from first glance that this is a racing anime. Although the character expression from the new thumbnail is lot better and more intense than the old one. I think replacing the character in the old thumb with the new one would emphasize the thrill of racing a lot better🔥

    I am just blown away by how *good* this is. The song, the hook, the story. How the protag's trauma is depicted and the expectation subversion at the line MMM
    There is a startling amount of car nerd specific detail throughout as well even down to the cultural relevance of the location of choice: Angeles Crest is second only to PCH and Mulholland(at least within Cali) for noteriety amongst enthusiasts, I'm from the UK and I know about those road's significance even though no one who doesn't care about driving or motorsport would.
    The protagonist's choice of vehicle being an interpretation of a Hawkeye WRX STi tracks too, its one of the more accessible platforms to build on. The dashboard, centre console and even the gauge cluster(with some artistic license) are all modelled extremely faithfully.
    Almost like the talents involved are enthusiasts themselves...

    So the lore that I’m getting from this episode is that the ghost supra is actually her brother’s record time. At the beginning you can hear the audience surprised that Samurai Blue (who has passed away) returns, but were disappointed shortly after finding out it was actually his sister. Skeptical about Yoko’s abilities, the audience began mocking her saying it was disrespectful to carry her brother’s nickname. That’s why the entirety of this episode is about Yoko trying to beat her brother’s best time, overcoming public pressure and to prove herself worthy of carrying her brother’s legacy.

    even the scene where the ghost drove through her hit so hard and close to home
    even though you would think that a ghost cant collide or bump you
    its more metaphorical, the ghost impacts you, overwhelms you, makes you second guess, like they say "you are your own worst enemy" (or something like that), the ultimate test is your own self, and with it brings pride and sadness.

      just came here to post that, immediately got Takumi and his 86 vibes with this girl and her Hawkeye.

      @panderalexander 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      was thinking the same, her and her car's connection has Takumi/86 connection.

    I just realize something significant about Sierra's song. At 0:53, you can see that Yoko's car is called the "Wishing Star," which can be connected to the lyrics "Starlight, Star bright" in the song. This makes the flashback to the conversation at 6:17 all the more significant, as it really brings home the idea that the song was made specifically for Yoko. It's HER theme song.
    Overall, this has incredible potential to be a full series. Here's hoping you all get the funding to possibly do a full show. I would love to see more of this!
    P.S. DJ Nos Boss is hilarious, even if he's a bit rude to poor Yoko.

    Someone needs to fund these people and let them make a full on show because HOLY SHIT. The art, the style, the driving, the concept, all of this is incredible.

    Incredible Job! This has the groundwork to be a successful series if you’re planning on making more.
    That sequence at 2:30 of her steering or gearshift locking and then a spin out from hitting a patch of rough road to feeling the effects of the “Afterimage” triggering a flashback of her brother’s death was terrifyingly kino!
    Good thing her friend’s song pulled her out of the darkness.

    This was wonderful. Thank you for putting so much love into the animation. The music had beautiful, tasteful nods to the peak racing anime that had come out in the 90s and 2000s, which certainly didn't go unnoticed.
    See you at the starting line, Winterstellar Studios.

  • @afterburnnz
    @afterburnnz 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    The idea of Yoko having to beat a time track ghost of her brother is pretty cool, reminds me of some racing games I used to play. I'd genuinely wait a year or more for this series to get more epsiodes.

    This deserves "best indie short film" of the year instantly. Best piece of media i've seen in a DECADE. I cannot fathom how you managed to make this, or how long this took. Even the starbright song is phenomenal. Get this animation a nomination- no, an oscars, NOW.

  • @Johnpinckney98

  • @hostile-robot
    @hostile-robot 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

    I absolutely love this! In just 7 minutes you explore trauma masterfully by depicting it as an active experience that can occur; even though the ghost of trauma may be on her tail and can still catch up, it is something she can push past via racing and relationships. The animation is also terrific, every frame is stunning, and the shots excellently depict these themes and the absolute hype of the race.
