THIS IS NOT A WIP (who posts wips on youtube?) Sorry if there's no audio but I'm lazy and this was supposed to be a 5 second animation but I got carried away
Uh wow so many people glad you all like it I am not going to finish this so yeah lol THERE ARE MORE PEOPLE THAN BEFORE WHAT UUH THANK YOU THANK YOU IM GLAD THAT YOU ALL LIKE IT THANK YOU
It's only a couple seconds, but those brief moments of callbacks to Meta Knight's Revenge, Escape the Halberd, and Dark Meta Knight were everything. Out of everyone kirby can call "frenemies", Meta Knight is definetly my favorite rivalry. Animation well does them justice.
And here we have proof that sometimes, the best Kirby fan animations don't need too much color to stand out. Seriously, everything about this is amazing! Outstanding work here!
@@Squidles_64 Bold of you to assume those words used in a context as specific as this scare me. =P Okay, maybe that sounded a bit harsh, and I apologize if it came across that way... but, eh, point still stands.
OH HOLY NOVA!!! THIS IS THE MOST EPIC THING I'VE EVER SEEN!! And it's just a storyboard!! I can't imagine the final result with color, sound and everything!! AHHHHHH Your animation is just gold!! I love so much your work! Keep it up!! Kirby fights are so epic!!!!
@@Rosetintedwaterit's a rough animation, but I'm going to leave it at that because it was supposed to be a short and simple animation (I planned for it to last 5 seconds but I got carried away 🦫)
I also forgot to mention in my prior post the Return to Dreamland reference combined with Meta Knight's life bar not being fully depleted. Love the gags in this animation! 🤟
I know it’s probably easier with Kirby and Meta Knight being circles, but that doesn’t change the fact that this animation is phenomenal! So expressive and fluid!
10/10!!! Everything from the movement, expressions, small gags, it's just all so high quality! This made my day. Excited to see more Kirby stuff in the future! 🤩
I like this characterization of Kirby~ so many people tend to just make him omnipotent "poyo" cute but lackluster. Here he actually has tonsa personality
Oh dang I thought this was just gonna be a storyboard because those are ridiculously popular on TH-cam. No shame to storyboarders, they do great work that I could never dream of doing, but I absolutely LOVE it when people take the next step and put in the effort to turn it into an animation. Even if this is a rough I still love it, I could watch roughs all day. On of my favourite animators, Guzzu, pretty much exclusively does roughs. This is amazing, great work!
I could really feel the excitement and tension from this fight! Everything about it was great from start to finish, but 1:00 onward had my favorite parts such as the call backs to previous Meta Knight fights, the build-up of Kirby and Meta Knight charging at one another, the music syncing, and the absolutely EPIC Impact Frames! That Pink Demon frame and the close up on Meta Knight’s eye too, just gosh dang! So much to like about this!!
Your love for the Kirby series is clear to see from how much detail is packed into this short. I love that you can see power stars drop after Meta Knight’s slashes at 0:04, and that you can see some of the THE END characters fall during 0:51
This is what we like to call, COMPLETELY INSANE. Like I don't understand how people can such fluid and consistent motion and action, saying this is really, really solid is an understatement. Also I like the fact that my boy bandana dee throws Kirby the sword, and the flashback sequence to Kirby's past clashes with meta knight, and also the very fitting use of stars when a character does an action and aughhh there's just too many cool little details in this one. Point being, keep doing what you're doing, this is makes me want to animate.
this is incredible!!! so much love in all the details, I'm like actually blown away that this wasn't done by a big ol studio. the dedication. is insane!!!
This is the most jaw-dropping animation I've seen in the community in recent years. The cinematics looks professional, excellent work. I can't imagine how much time this animation took, with the perspectives and angles... it must have been laborious but it was worth it! I loved the detail of the expressions and the plot twist. Just amazing
I paused at 1:20 to see all the frames and oh boi, they look awesome and also loved the references like "Hi I'm the animator!", Bandana dee, King DeDeDe and "Pink demon". Such detail that not everyone will see. I also realized that there's also that type of frames at 0:31, 1:26 and 1:30 (WHY IS THERE AN AMONGUS??!)
I don't know what I love more, the expressions or the movements, because both are just so well done that I genuinely just can't find the right words for how well this animation is. GENUINELY impressive work and I adore it so!
This might just be the coolest 2D TH-cam animation I've seen, and I've taken a great interest in 2D animation for over 7 years! Amazing job. I genuinely love how polished the animation is. Criminally underrated.
THIS IS SO COOL!!!! i love how swift the animation is and the expressions and the stars that fall like how they do in game! also the slow reveal of meta knight's health bar as kirby's all pleased with himself is so funny OH AND ALSO there's so much emotion in the way they fight like??? you can tell they have history it's amazing!!
I got actual goosebumps when the flashbacks to Superstar and Superstar Ultra happened... The Amazing Mirror flashback was also AWESOME! Thank you so much for this!
@@DarktoLight561 thats true, I would absolutely love to see a Kirby anime with fights like these! Though the other anime was pretty great for its time (and Spanish MK).
Oh my god the fluidity, the expressions, the animation is FANSTATIC!! Dude YOU EVEN REFERENCED KIRBY’S ADVENTURE, KIRBY SUPER STAR, AMAZING MIRROR, AND PLANET ROBOBOT, this is BEAUTIFUL!!
I feel like this is the beginning of something amazing. In a few years we're definitely going to bear witness to something somehow far greater than this and be like "remember that awesome meta knight animation? "
Yoooo if you pause at 1:20 you can see where he put in little stuff within the frames. On one of the frames he put king ddd and waddle dee and in the same frame he drew himself saying “Hi I’m the animator”. Then in the second or third frame after that It says “Pink Demon”(which is a reference to smash I think)and it literally draws kirby as a pink demon eating the words. This is all during the sword clash of Kirby and metaknight, I had to slow it down at 0.25 speed and wise it a bunch of times jus to see it clearly 😭 Goated animator and artist fr. I was never a huge kirby fan growing up but I love your work here. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🫀
I hope you can do a full color and sound version someday, this is AMAZING!! Also, Kirby doing the Ultra Sword spin and pose at the fake ending was my favorite detail :)
Hjgkgjkgkg, this is a work of art. I have no words to express how amazing this is. I'm literally speechless. This is so freaking good. You are so so underrated. I pray the blows up!!!!
This is so amazing! I love the expressiveness and physicality you put into the characters. Everything has such a fun springiness to it its so fun to watch
There’s no other option, this is simply INCREDIBLE! Even in an unfinished state it’s just so clean and fluid and honestly the best thing I’ve seen all day, maybe even week!
This feels like a battle scene from OkKo with the random humor and the wacky animation style. I honestly love it as much as Failboat loves drill with no animation
I am at a loss for words. The animation is so clean, so well drawn and the amount of effort that was put into this is amazing. This is criminally underrated and I'm excited to see what comes in the future.
This is the most freaking awesome animation I have EVER seen EVER. I know it sounds like I'm exaggerating but holy crap, Sony Pictures Animation should hire you to choreograph and animate a Kirby anime. This is Spiderverse-level quality. I got chills, this was beautiful and my inner Kirby fan hasn't been this hyped since Forgotten Land was announced.
I love u, when I saw u had just 266 subs I got so mad at how underated u are, I was literally thinking of a Kirby animated show I wanted to make in the future and when I saw this I cried, thank u dude, thank u
the angles, the shivering cameras, the amazing choreography, doesn't need a color ('cept the effects totally, lol), so alive...TRULY A BEAUTIFUL PIECE! This animation impaled my eyes with shock, never seen this kind of animation for months (maybe weeks), keep up ze good work, giving me motivation.
Uh wow so many people glad you all like it I am not going to finish this so yeah lol
THERE ARE MORE PEOPLE THAN BEFORE WHAT UUH THANK YOU THANK YOU IM GLAD THAT YOU ALL LIKE IT THANK YOU
This is so cool!!!! God bless you :DDDD continue animating PLEASE (if you want no pressure, but this is so good ❤💗💗💗💗😄😄😄😄)
this is well made👏👏👏
if there is more keep working on it
(if not)congratulations
Thats sad to hear but i love this animation for what it is, and it could be said that its a full animation by itself.
It's weird how the music started after Kirby got meta knight to phase 2
@@junklin908 Probably because he couldnt find proper music to fit the fight before hand.

Okay, maybe that sounded a bit harsh, and I apologize if it came across that way... but, eh, point still stands.
And we ARE here, wow
Oh wait, while typing this, my theme played whoa
Correct!
Quite ironic, considering the first Kirby game was black and white lol
I like how this portrays kirby as somewhat formidable, being able to take meta knight by surprise and challenge him head on.
1:20 I love this impact frame it’s so colorful and it looks amazing in contrast with the black and white of the rest of the animation.
OH HOLY NOVA!!! THIS IS THE MOST EPIC THING I'VE EVER SEEN!! And it's just a storyboard!! I can't imagine the final result with color, sound and everything!! AHHHHHH Your animation is just gold!! I love so much your work! Keep it up!! Kirby fights are so epic!!!!
Yesss I need more! 🤩
This is noooot a storyboard, these are roughs at minimum. Very impressive animation, but still is def animation and not a storyboard!
It's the finished product I think! But for all I know definitely not a WIP, it's stated in the description! But it's definitely so insane!!! :O
@@Rosetintedwaterit's a rough animation, but I'm going to leave it at that because it was supposed to be a short and simple animation (I planned for it to last 5 seconds but I got carried away 🦫)
@@Kriz_LR bro, please get carried away more XD
YES YES YES THIS IS AMAZING!! FROM THE EXPRESSIONS TO THE ATTACKS! THE META BONK THIS DESERVES SO MUCH MORE LOVE THAN IT'S GETTING
BROUGHT JUSTICE TO MY BOIs!!!!
The raw emotion during the realization that the mf had a second phase: 0:39
These impact frames are amazing! Such a clean animation, it looks good even without being full color!
I also forgot to mention in my prior post the Return to Dreamland reference combined with Meta Knight's life bar not being fully depleted. Love the gags in this animation! 🤟
Quick question: HOW IS EVERY ASPECT OF THIS ANIMATION JUST PERFECT???? The choreography, camera angles, the flashback, I loved everything.
I know it’s probably easier with Kirby and Meta Knight being circles, but that doesn’t change the fact that this animation is phenomenal! So expressive and fluid!
THE ANIMATION, THE COLOURS, THE MUSIC, THE *SQUISHINESS*
PERFECT, WOULD CONSUME THIS MEDIA AGAIN!!!
I love how in the actual game, despite how epic this fight is, there are zero stakes. It's just Meta Knight and Kirby duking it out for its own sake.
All it is is meta knight testing kirbys skills to make sure hes ready to save the world
@Door227 Meta Knight also does just... _enjoy_ fighting, regardless of there being a purpose.
This is absolutely bootiful, that impact fram at 1:19 was even more bootiful :,)
10/10!!! Everything from the movement, expressions, small gags, it's just all so high quality! This made my day. Excited to see more Kirby stuff in the future! 🤩

At the twirl attack I was like "huh, that was a rather easy defeat for Meta Knight."
And then I saw the progress bar.
Absolutely epic stuff here!
Kirby realized he forgot to spike Meta Knight
I could really feel the excitement and tension from this fight!

0:17 Love all the details you’ve put into this video! Particularly this touch where Meta knight spawns stars when he lands on the ground. Very cool.
This probably the most expressive Kirby animation I’ve ever seen
god this is INCREDIBLE!!! i can tell how much dedication and passion you had for this animation and for kirby in general!!! instant sub.
Absolutely incredible stuff! Please keep doing what you are doing, this deserves so many more views and likes than it currently has!
The fact that you included the stars that bosses leave behind after attacks makes this a 20/10 animation - perfectione
Your love for the Kirby series is clear to see from how much detail is packed into this short. I love that you can see power stars drop after Meta Knight’s slashes at 0:04, and that you can see some of the THE END characters fall during 0:51
I loved that detail too. It's accurate to the game and makes the stars that drop feel like a natural debris in this world.
This is beautiful 🤩 also 0:39 Kirby had a “wait why do I hear boss music” moment
Gosh this is so awesome!!!! I love how fluid the animation is! Everything is just so raw, the fight scene with the music just works very well!
the one time youtube recommended ACTUAL QUALITY 😳 this is absolutely stunning 2D animation holy hell man this is criminally underrated
Oh my goodness this is amazing! I love how the colored bits stand out so much against the uncolored parts. It really makes them feel special!
The fact you included the little stars that pop up during fights is crazy
CHILLS LITERAL CHILLS! EVERYTHING IS SO AMAZING AND UGH! THE PERSONALITY THE SMEAR FRAMES THE ACTION! THIS IS SO MASTERFUL AUAHUSHSHSHA
This is what we like to call, COMPLETELY INSANE. Like I don't understand how people can such fluid and consistent motion and action, saying this is really, really solid is an understatement.

This animation is some best I've ever seen this year, I seriously look up to you, and that moment when the music kicked in was hard asf
Not to mention the impact frames were immaculate, keep up the great work
1:20 The fact that you made a cameo of yourself in an impact frame, absolute respect😎
That's sick! I didn't even notice that
heheheheheheeeee
I think there was samurai MK too for sum reason
this is incredible!!! so much love in all the details, I'm like actually blown away that this wasn't done by a big ol studio. the dedication. is insane!!!

This literally made me feel so happy, the movements were just perfect, capturing everything in such tight spots was amazing!❤
This looked amazing! Perfectly captured the main art style of kirby and its humour yet having great choreography and fluid motion
OMGEE THIS IS FREAKING AWESOME(seriously, its beautiful!! I might take some inspiration on this!)
I see you with those chansard-style impact frames👀. Great work!
If kirby right back at ya makes a comeback, this person MUST be the lead animator!
This is amazing!!!! I’d love to see this fleshed out with color and sound effects!
GOD you actually make it look like a duel im animating a 1 minute fight and
its made me go through a character arc, TWICE!!
fantastic animation OMG, the movement the framing UGH so good
I got actual goosebumps when the flashbacks to Superstar and Superstar Ultra happened...
The Amazing Mirror flashback was also AWESOME!
Thank you so much for this!
This is really awesome, man. I hope more people come and see this awesome animation.
Wtf man this just got randomly recommended to me, good job!
Sweet mother of Sakurai imagine if we had a whole Kirby anime like this
But... We do have an anime..

Most definitely the coolest kirby animation ive ever seen! This is amazing dude!!!
Comment for algorithm cause god dam this needs some recognition like if there was a Kirby anime I want you to make it its that good bro
ok, this is sick. this is probably one of the coolest Kirby animations I've seen, and i've seen a lot of them. nice work, you earned a sub!

THIS IS CINEMA!! All those years of history to one big fight, love it!
OMG this is STUPENDOUS!!! Love especially the impact frames and the movement use a lot of squash and stretch! Absolutely beautiful!❤️
1:30 meta knight is so cute without his mask
OMG the animation is so good and the compostion! I can’t even fathom the skill you have to make this
BEST KIRBY ANIMATION EVER!!! Also when Meta Knight was using the boulder attack, he dropped 'The END' down too, amazing detail!!
reminds me of the time Meta Knight death threatened Kirby.
This is so amazing! I love the expressiveness and physicality you put into the characters. Everything has such a fun springiness to it its so fun to watch
The impact frame just has so many details, this entire animation is perfect!
This is so SO good! I'm in love with those expressions you draw, they give the characters so much personality !
