Was gonna say I didn’t find it till way later so I had to wait way less but thinking about it for a second longer it’s already been almost seven years even for me 😂 found this freshman year of college and I graduated like 3 years ago. This is crazy
"After the suprise hit that was "Welcome to Hell", Erica Wester knew she had to capitalize on that success in a timely fashion. So without a hint of hesitation, she released "Welcome to Hell 2"... 10 Years later... GENIUS!
honestly the broken up animation style is really cool, going from really high budget to barely able to affort a frame goes really nicely together the way they put it
Idk it looks like they didn't intend to do so but animation is hard. Still PERSONALLY I wouldn't have minded waiting a little bit more to see the full polished complete animation. Great story still, the facial expressions and humor are kinda funny, specially the demon kid
My God, my eyes must be deceiving me, because I can't believe what I'm seeing on my screen now, finally, after years, we will finally have the long-awaited sequel to this wonderful animation, I can't wait to watch it, anxiety and excitement go hand in hand in this exact moment
Funny story; When I first saw the release 10 years ago, I thought it was the coolest thing ever that his name was Sock. I eventually went on to going by "Sockie" or "Sock" for short, all because of this series! SO I'M VERY EXCITED TO FINALLY SEE PART 1!!
I managed to finish both middle and high school, almost got my diploma and started working as a teacher myself... And those 10 years of waiting for the part 2 were WORTH IT. Erica, we're so happy WTH is back!
I'm graduating today this comment resonated with me. I also barely spoke a word of English when the first part came out it certainly put things into perspective 😅
Saw this in my recommended and I was like "Oh wow I can't believe the second one is out now. How long since the first part?" And I double-checked, and it being 11 YEARS shocked me to my core. It was worth the wait though.
the book literally saying to read the text out loud in the next paragraph to encourage a human to fuck around and find out (which sock does *accidentally*) is hysterical to me
im absolutely GEEKING OUT over 5:32-5:53. THE LIGHTING IS GORGEOUS AND GAHHH THE ANIMATION WITH THE ROTATING CAMERA AND WITH THE BUILDUP AND THEN YOU SEE THE LIGHT LEAVE HIS EYES??? IM FREAKING OUT MANNNNNN
I mean this as a compliment when I say that the way Mephistopheles talks about renovating Hell is the same energy as how The Good Place tackles the new torture systems in The Bad Place.
This is insane!!! I actually really love the varying levels of polish throughout! It's so cool to see the different stages of animation and how it all comes together. I remember watching the first short and then watching it like 80 more times, and seeing it come back all these years later is unreal. Great work! I can't wait to see what comes next!!!
I remember watching part 1 when I was 14 and repeating the line "well old friend, never thought I'd find myself at your business end" in the mirror and rewatching the video over and over again because of how much I just vibed with the whole concept of w2h and especially Sock. Now I'm 20 and in university and boy is this just as good! I wish we could get more episodes sooner but I recognize it's not at all something we are entitled to and that everything we get from you is something to be grateful for, as I am. Work at a pace that feels good for you and please don't burn yourself out! You're doing great work Erica, keep it up yo
7:09 “I’ve fallen a lot further than this kid!” 😂 ah’ I see what you did there Love this I remember watching the first one years ago when studied animation in school. So is wonderful to see hidden gems like this come back ✨🧡
Why has youtube waited THIS long to show me this? THIS IS GOLD. I pray that one day you'll have a full team under your belt and push this show out. You deserve all the recognition you earned!
It’s been 11 YEARS! (I had to go back and see) I remember watching the original Welcome to Hell in Middle school!! The fact this is literally the first thing on my home page is amazing! Brings back memories ❤
I literally can't believe we're getting a sequel, oh my goodness. I remember watching this when it first came out, and now we have a SEQUEL!? I finished secondary school, did a gap year, did an undergrad, did a post-grad, and it's such a nostalgic trip to have this back in my life. I'm so glad I came across W2H!!
I was in high school when I first found this and I kid you not a month ago I was telling my husband about this and how the fandom was still waiting for the part 2! I never thought I'd see the day
Came close to breaking my elbow yesterday. And today, I find that the youtube series I have loved for a decade has a sequel. Talk about emotional whiplash.
When Welcome to Hell first arrived, I was about maybe.. 6? And now I am 17, sitting at my computer waiting for my lifelong childhood to be fulfilled. Thank you so much Erica, WE LOVE YOU!!!!
ive been waiting for this day since i was still in school. and now ive completed college, had 2 jobs and im burnt out and signed off for having such poor mental health. thats how long its been im SO EXCITED
I was SO FUCKING MESMERIZED throughout this whole thing. Gotta admit, I've watched 5:35 to 5:53 part over and over; the smooth animation, the lighting, the character expressions, the music, that build up... so PERFECT 🥺 After all these years, seeing the video notification hit me hard. Thanks Erica, for doing this amazing work! 💫
WHATTT!?!? FOR REAL!??!?! edit: THIS IS INCREDIBLE 5:31-5:53 really impressive animation also, theory, in the end Jonathan is in purgatory/hell and the shadow is "himself" because his biggest fear is facing himself and his own weaknesses, and/or his self hatred
I'd be lying if I said that W2H wasn't my favorite cartoon when I was little, I watched it every day when I was 6 years old and man... those were the happiest days of my life! Even though I'm older, I still like it, and now an official episode has been released and WOW... how I've grown, I'm not 6 years old anymore, but even though I've changed so much, I feel the same, sometimes I think I'm just a big kid, anyway... I'M SO HAPPY THAT AN OFFICIAL EPISODE HAS BEEN RELEASED, I CAN'T WAIT FOR PART 2!!!
I've been waiting for this moment for 11 years. I was in elementary school when this first released and after watching I was waiting for the next part. I hope that everyone will love it as much as I still currently do and patiently wait for this next part.
I feel like John being able to touch the demon book was a neat detail. If we assume the ability to pick up human objects works the same for demon objects, as both Sock and John felt the same - both wanted to know how the haunting of objects worked between them, John picked up the book without shock.
I swear to god I’ve never cried tears of joy before this moment, I’m actually SOBBING ITS BEEN LIKE WHAT?? 13 YEARS?! It’s awesome to still see this project push through even after all the difficulties OMGGG I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU 💗💗💗💗
I can't believe it happened.... Just.. The first episode which was released 10 years ago literally inspired me a lot for my art. So seeing the welcome to hell 2 was a great shock to me. Cause it's kinda personal, ya know? :) heehehe Thank you, Erica Wester! You made this Halloween the happiest one i could ever have
You should be very proud of yourself, sister! Crying right now because I know how hard you worked on this over the years despite all the heckling comments. What a cool twist!
lowkey cried a little watching this i know the first w2h script pretty much by heart and have been following the making of this on the patreon for a bit, GODDD im so happy to see this up it feels unreal 😭
I watched the original as a 6th grader on the way to school in the back of the bus on my iPhone 6s with tangled headphones, I was really inspired by the art of Welcome to Hell and it’s pushed me further to work on the idea of some day becoming an artist in film and television, today I’m a high school senior finishing up her high school portfolio. Thank you very much for this series, your work has forever left a mark on my life.
I think I first found Welcome to hell in middle school but I never really talked much about it after that. Now I'm in college and it's so cool to see this be continued
I bet sock's torture made that week feel like 10 years huh?
Aye, that was pretty good
I see what you did there 🫵🏻
Well you know what they say ! The slower time paces the more fun you have !
Or was that opposite ? I always get those mixed up .
Yeah ik right
best comment i could have read
THEY'RE BACK ON HALLOWEEN?!? I WAITED 9 YEARS FOR THIS TO COME BACK 😭
Was gonna say I didn’t find it till way later so I had to wait way less but thinking about it for a second longer it’s already been almost seven years even for me 😂 found this freshman year of college and I graduated like 3 years ago. This is crazy
I am so happy to see this come back
same 😭😭😭
SAME!! Well worth the wait! I love it!
I USED TO PRAY FOR TIMES LIKE THIS 😭🙏
ME TOO BRO LMAOOO
REALLLL
SAME! I’m so happy!
I ALMOST SCREAMED OUT LOUD AND WOKE MY ENTIRE HOUSEHOLD UP ITS 11:00PM IM SO EXCITED
ME TOO OMG

@@Aphelia. What kind of weeds, Jonathan? 🤔
@@herelieskirk The green funny smelling kind
@@wigglyfruit4708 i feel like being embarrassed about unconventional hobbies is normal teen behavior lol
LOL
“Thank you Erica Wester” we all say in unison
Thank you Erica Wester
Thank you Erica Wester
Thank you kindly Erica Wester.
Thank you Erica Wester
Thanks Erica Wester
The fact that his mom didn’t just recognise the sound of a dying person from her sons room but took her time walking there to check. I’m dead. 😂
Is girl a mortician or something cuz ain't no way 😭
@ I’m telling you her and Suck got to be sharing a hobby. Morticians is a god theory nut they don’t usually hear people drop to the ground. Lol
I mean, loud thud, silence, what else would you assume?
She’s probably a doctor or nurse bc the scrubs and the likelihood is more that she would be able to recognize the sound of someone falling over
The character dynamics and interactions in this are so fun and unique it’s actually insane how every moment is super entertaining and funny
honestly the broken up animation style is really cool, going from really high budget to barely able to affort a frame goes really nicely together the way they put it
Fr looks charming
Idk it looks like they didn't intend to do so but animation is hard. Still PERSONALLY I wouldn't have minded waiting a little bit more to see the full polished complete animation.
Great story still, the facial expressions and humor are kinda funny, specially the demon kid
10 years for something barely finished ♥️
I really like it
@@rainbowButtersanimation is hard when you’re only one person AND have a full time job
My God, my eyes must be deceiving me, because I can't believe what I'm seeing on my screen now, finally, after years, we will finally have the long-awaited sequel to this wonderful animation, I can't wait to watch it, anxiety and excitement go hand in hand in this exact moment
LITERALLY
It's comical when you take into consideration the character in your pfp
REAL
Legit just about a decade of waiting, im so excited
Right I had almost forgotten abt it myself. Then when I saw the thumbnail I was so excited to finally see this
"I thought you were dead!?!"
"My death was greatly exaggerated"
Just like Jonathan's! :D (to his mom at least)
I miss Sock's OG voice. But so happy and grateful to have this! It's been too long!
Funny story; When I first saw the release 10 years ago, I thought it was the coolest thing ever that his name was Sock. I eventually went on to going by "Sockie" or "Sock" for short, all because of this series! SO I'M VERY EXCITED TO FINALLY SEE PART 1!!
Real that used to be the names i used in mmos
first release? whats the first release? youtuebe just randomly recommended me this video and i want to know more know
@@Lesss15 just go to the channel that posted this video and go to the first one
I really liked it too! You have no idea how close I was to calling myself Sock after the original video. I was IN LOVE with it.
I introduced myself as “sock” in middle school, it was great XD
I managed to finish both middle and high school, almost got my diploma and started working as a teacher myself... And those 10 years of waiting for the part 2 were WORTH IT.
Erica, we're so happy WTH is back!
Oh that's so cool
I am working in my first year as a teacher, and this comment was SCARY Accurate to me. So thrilled to be here!
I was in elementary school came out now I’m a uni student 😭 we’ve come a long way
And all these years later these character designs still go hard
I'm graduating today this comment resonated with me. I also barely spoke a word of English when the first part came out it certainly put things into perspective 😅
“theory of narrative causality” being the phrase that kickstarts the plot is pretty funny
Saw this in my recommended and I was like "Oh wow I can't believe the second one is out now. How long since the first part?" And I double-checked, and it being 11 YEARS shocked me to my core.
It was worth the wait though.
the book literally saying to read the text out loud in the next paragraph to encourage a human to fuck around and find out (which sock does *accidentally*) is hysterical to me
Only ever succeeds at his job accidentally 😂
do u have the time stamp?
OH MY GOD ITS HAPPENING WHATS THE PROCEDURE EVERYONE!?
**SLAMS PANIC BUTTON**
STAY CALM
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
SOMEONE DO SOMETHING
STAY F***** CALM
6:31 I just FREAKING love that he crossed himself backwards
Cool detail
I didnt notice! Yeah it's pretty cool
OH MY GOD I DIDNT EVEN NOTICE UNTIL YOU POINTED IT OUT
isn't that the usual way?
@@ginasannino2089 kinda, if you look close, he do it upside down
In his pov, he used his left hand, while we were taught when we sign of the cross it should always be the righthand
I like how it says stay tuned for part two. In like another ten year 😭
(Thanks for this video)
10 years...10 YEARS I CAN'T BELIEVE IT YIEEPPEPEPE 🎉🎉🎉
11 YEARS ACTUALLY
WHAAAT
Is it 3am, yes.. Have I been waiting for this for longer? Yes. Is it worth staying up for? Obviously.
Hahahaha, I was the only one who had insomnia, I woke up, checked TH-cam and Boom! they notified me that it had already been released.
Frfr
real!
same
Same up at 3 in the morning and watching
one of the most historic, monumental, downright significant moments in my life. staying alive to see what happens omg
New Welcome To Hell content in 2024 is crazy and awesome. I'm so psyched for pt 2!
im absolutely GEEKING OUT over 5:32-5:53. THE LIGHTING IS GORGEOUS AND GAHHH THE ANIMATION WITH THE ROTATING CAMERA AND WITH THE BUILDUP AND THEN YOU SEE THE LIGHT LEAVE HIS EYES??? IM FREAKING OUT MANNNNNN
"I've fallen a lot further than this, kid." is such a fantastic line. 😂 SO HAPPY TO SEE THIS COME BACK!!!!
I mean this as a compliment when I say that the way Mephistopheles talks about renovating Hell is the same energy as how The Good Place tackles the new torture systems in The Bad Place.
it feels like cheating. everyone’s been waiting for this for years. i watched the first part like two weeks ago. nice
Im an adult now i used to love rewatching the first episode over and over, going on deviantart for fan art, reading fanfiction etc... Thank you Erica!
THE IMPROVEMENT FROM THE FIRST ONE IS SO CRAZY GOOD
1:21 SOCK!?!?!?! He said *WHAT* !?!?!
Eu também fiquei chocada 😂😂😂
We all heard it- 😭
He's not wrong tho
@@Aifosmeoweita prr outro br
Sock gay af it wasn't a secret

2:32 NOT THE TEA GETTING CLOCKEDD
Deserved, idk what Sock expected ngl
GAGGED 😭
This genuinely feels unreal. Like, I genuinely can't process that this is finally going to be released.
I remember watching part 1 when I was 14 and repeating the line "well old friend, never thought I'd find myself at your business end" in the mirror and rewatching the video over and over again because of how much I just vibed with the whole concept of w2h and especially Sock.
Now I'm 20 and in university and boy is this just as good!

You're doing great work Erica, keep it up yo
3:43 “I gotta talk to Mr. Protagonist over here, yk about his feelings or smth” I'M DYING 😭😭😭😭😭😭
7:09
“I’ve fallen a lot further than this kid!”
😂 ah’ I see what you did there
Love this I remember watching the first one years ago when studied animation in school. So is wonderful to see hidden gems like this come back ✨🧡
@@Smoothïllustrated he can't resist a classic Satan joke
@@warriorscatsanimovie
He’ll stop responding in clever puns when Hell freezes over
Incredible episode, hyped for the next!
If we keep up this pace, the next one will be released when I'm getting married.
Drawn Mask! :)
THE WAY I ACTUALLY STARTED TWEAKING I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SINCE 6TH GRADERJWKANSNSJTKS
Why has youtube waited THIS long to show me this? THIS IS GOLD. I pray that one day you'll have a full team under your belt and push this show out. You deserve all the recognition you earned!
*A few minutes ago, my childhood popped out of nowhere and hit me with my long lost memories like a brick to the head... from Hell... Thank you 🥺🙏✨*
Yeah, I can't believe I forgot about this.
I was 12 when I first watched the first one. I’M 21 NOW!! You have NO idea how long I’ve been waiting for this. Keep up the good work!!
It’s been 11 YEARS! (I had to go back and see) I remember watching the original Welcome to Hell in Middle school!! The fact this is literally the first thing on my home page is amazing! Brings back memories ❤
10 years later and we're still all here 🥹🥹 thank you Erica ❤
OH MY GOD ITS ACTUALLY HAPPENING. WHAT??? WHAT???? IVE BEEN WAITING FOR 12 YEARS
I was here for this phenomenal release, 10 years it has been . Every second worth it to be here
No way, i thought it would never happen, I really hope this is a continuing series, it has so much potential.
So glad I didn’t “pull a Sock” those times I thought about it so I could be alive for this long awaited moment.
NEVER BEEN MORE EXCITED FOR SOMETHING IN MY LIFE
SAMEE
SAME DUDE
I literally can't believe we're getting a sequel, oh my goodness. I remember watching this when it first came out, and now we have a SEQUEL!? I finished secondary school, did a gap year, did an undergrad, did a post-grad, and it's such a nostalgic trip to have this back in my life. I'm so glad I came across W2H!!
This has significantly improved my life
Missed opportunity to call it Welcome 2 Hell
YOU CANT JUST END IT LIKE THAT AFTER ALL THIS TIME I NEED MORE
I'M ACTUALLY IN SHOCK CRYING I'VE WANTED SO LONG.
The fact that this was my obsession freshman year of college and now I'm watching this at my full time job... Insane
Man i remember watching the pilot how times have changed, huh
I was in high school when I first found this and I kid you not a month ago I was telling my husband about this and how the fandom was still waiting for the part 2! I never thought I'd see the day
I THINK MY LEGS ARE SHAKING, THIS IS THE BEST EVENT IN MY LIFE IN THE LAST FEW YEARS
I won't sleep all night just waiting for it to come out
GOD, I WATCHED THIS, ERICA I LOVE YOU AAAAFAGSHDBSHJCKZLAIHD😭🙏🙏

Right?
@super6w3n13 yes lol!!
I was SO FUCKING MESMERIZED throughout this whole thing. Gotta admit, I've watched 5:35 to 5:53 part over and over; the smooth animation, the lighting, the character expressions, the music, that build up... so PERFECT 🥺
After all these years, seeing the video notification hit me hard.
Thanks Erica, for doing this amazing work! 💫
I can't wait for part two in 10 years from now!
WHATTT!?!? FOR REAL!??!?!
edit: THIS IS INCREDIBLE
5:31-5:53 really impressive animation
also, theory, in the end Jonathan is in purgatory/hell and the shadow is "himself" because his biggest fear is facing himself and his own weaknesses, and/or his self hatred
Oh totally

Thank you, Erica Wester! You made this Halloween the happiest one i could ever have
It is upon us.
NO WAYYYYYYYY OMG I've been following this for years and rewatched the original so many times, so excited it's back 🫶 literally my childhood
Can’t think of a better release date than Halloween! Looking forward to it
First time its 10 hours ago rather than 10 years ago
Feels...good
You should be very proud of yourself, sister! Crying right now because I know how hard you worked on this over the years despite all the heckling comments. What a cool twist!
i knew it was worth staying subscribed all these years!
Holy shit talk about a blast to the past- my younger self and my current self are so excited for this omg
WE LOVE YOU ERICA WESTER
we all say in unison.
lowkey cried a little watching this i know the first w2h script pretty much by heart and have been following the making of this on the patreon for a bit, GODDD im so happy to see this up it feels unreal 😭
THIS GOES CRAZYYYY WOHHH The animation is so smooth?????
1:01 AND IF I SPEAK
We waited 10 years and half of it isn’t even finished 😭😭😭😭
I’ve waited for this moment since middle school…and I never thought it’d come.
10yrs my dude 😭
the sketches animated like that gives it a really unique charm, please keep going erica
I can’t believe it … after all this time - finally !!!

4:43 greatest pun I've ever heard
IT IS HAPPENING YOU HAVE OFFICIALLY MADE MY YEAR 😭😭
Can't wait for the next part in 10 years
