It's been a very long time. This year I quit art college and began working as a freelancer for Japanese anime, so I haven't had as much time to post personal projects. I'm a bit sad there's not as much time to work on personal animations anymore, and next year there will be even less. But through my professional work I've met so many incredible people and worked on amazing projects, that I'm very excited for 2023 and the future. Thank you for your support despite my inactivity. If you'd like to keep up to date with my personal work and see unreleased artwork, I've made a Patreon: www.patreon.com/curielu Wish that everyone is doing well, and for a happy and productive 2023!

But imagine how much skill you'll be acquiring through all of that work aye, imagine how insane your personal work is gonna look in the next few years. Such high quality animations straight up.
Damn, big W for you! Haven’t been really watching a lot of anime nowadays but I still come back from time to time to your video on In Love With a Ghost’s “Flower” where I first knew about you.
Nice work. I’m glad to see you have taken off professionally. It’s rough doing something you love for work as doing it personally becomes difficult when you get off work doing the same thing for some one else. I still love your original works and re visit them frequently. Was it a happy thing for you quitting art school or just time management choice? I hope it wasn’t negative, either way it seems you are still just as talented of an artist as ever. Keep up the great work. 😁
0:28 Was one of the most amazing scenes in Chainsaw man in my opinion; it's something I remember for awhile. It was chilling and amazing. Incredible work.
I hope they kept the team for CSM for season 2 because CSM season 1 was a masterpiece and the Himeno scene you took part in animating in episode 8 was outstanding especially the way it moved through her.
Outstanding! It's so satisfying to see an Artist work hard and get rewarded for that hard work professionally! I hope these anime companies have compensated you well for your skills and efforts because you deserve it.
Finding out that not only you worked on that amazing scene from chainsaw man but ALSO on the best animated one piece episode to date is INSANE Congratulations, your work is mindblowing and you will reach even higher places now!
Watching your animation skills grow and the dreams you are following over the years is so damn inspiring! Shouted a big 'NO WAY' seeing your work from chainsaw man, well done!!!
You're a great animator, thank you, and whoever worked on these projects with you. I'm so glad I had the chance to witness most of these high-quality projects.
holy cow!! every scene looks absolutely stunning! the curse demon hand scene looks so complicated it's incredible you could keep track of it all and have it be so consistent!
This is a Project Team Leader level of skills and talents, not to mention the hard work, completeness and meticulousness. Amazing. Reminds me of my time working in a 2D studio myself and I can only admire you, as crisply burnt out as I am even a decade later lol (admittedly, I won't be able to reach your level even if I restart my animation practice today). Subbing and hope to see more from your channel 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I was so excited to see this post on my feed! I remember watching your Spring Herald animation and being blown away. So glad that you have gone on to contribute your skills to anime with such amazing quality. I know you are destined to create amazing things and I hope you will be able to continue pursuing personal projects as well. I really appreciate your hard work and talent, I love consuming content with high quality animation, and we can only have these amazing products with people like you around! All the best and happy new year 🎉
Someone who animates professionally i cannot stress how much animators are under appreciated. You litterly have to draw and color and plan every single frame. And then i plays ulin five seconds.
Your work is so beautiful! That Chainsaw man scene sent chills down my spine when I watched it. Your personal project is also stunning, I hope the development for that is going well!
i NEED to see the full yaoguai project. so so sooooo happy that Chinese folklore/monster hunting is gaining more attention. super excited on where you take this!!!!
God I love this so much, i think I’ve watched it like 10 times now. I especially love 0:06, the way the eyes stay completely steady while the entire rest of the face moves it so unsettling! The soundtrack is so good too.
That skinless cyborg design from "Yaoguai" is so beautiful. It's so unique and mesmerising. You must've spent so much time designing and making the whole thing. I would love to see more of it!
Your animations from a few years ago inspired me to learn animation on my own. Holy- I didn't know you played a part in the csm animation 😭😭 That scene was unstoppable 🔥 keep up the good work!! Can't wait to see what the future hold for you 💗
Woo yeah!! Curie your animation is always so powerful yet delicate, and always clear. How inspiring! Wishing you luck and time in getting to work on your personal stuff! 🙏🙌🧡
You made one of the best shots from one of the best episodes of 2022. Thank you for making Chainsaw Man episode 8 and the overall series so special. Thank you thank you thank you 🙇🏻
I've noticed all of the shots that focus on hands in Chainsaw Man has literally been 1. Some of the best hands I've ever seen in animation 2. Honestly some of the best animation I've ever seen, and it's just hands!
This is maddening ! Insanely wild talent. Keep going, and working, and meeting great people, and exploring your abilities in this wonderful medium of animation
The scene for csm ep8 is probably my favorite from this anime, so smooth, beautiful, and sad... You're an amazing animator, I'm so glad I found your account !
0:00 ; 0:53 This character reminds me of Kiana Kaslana for some reason. 0:12 and also the sitting girl reminds me of a villain struck by the energy of honkai.
That CSM sequence, imho, is literally the greatest moment in anime history. I've never been so stunned by art and emotion--the entire thing was transcendent.
I absolutely adored your spring herald animation from a few years ago and its so great to see how far you've gotten professionally. Looking forward to your next works !!
Love how quiet it feels, even with so much movement. Great audio choice and amazing animation! I watch this reel every time I want to be inspired/motivated to create something. Also, the flash of sketch lines to full color is so satisfying!

Those HANDS
Curie was in my internship class at Pixar. ^__^
I 100% agree
Stop using delusional blasphemous phrases "holy this, holy that"
That fight scene was so smooth, great work.
She's a woman
@@derrickzadok2440 thanks brother. Edited it.
@@derrickzadok2440 Oh man...sorry, woman
Naam Kya h
Correct!
I didn't know you've worked on OP and CSM, that's amazing! Hoping you'll have plenty more opportunities going forward this year!
You're an incredible animator, the sequence at 0:53 is sick. Keep up the incredible work!
Is that sequence in an anime or is it only one of his personal works?
@@apoorvasingh1981 It's her own personal work titled "Yaoguai". I wonder what animation software she uses for that
@@colbysbees they're a woman
@@colbysbees believe she uses Toonboom, it was stated in one her older videos description
Does anyone know if it is on the internet?
On TH-cam or Bilibili?
That Himeno scene was such a sad but beautiful moment. Well done
Dude! You are the person who animated the Ghost's arrival in CSM?!!? We fell in love all over again with this scene, it was so crushingly beautiful!
0:28 Was one of the most amazing scenes in Chainsaw man in my opinion; it's something I remember for awhile. It was chilling and amazing.
Incredible work.
THAT WAS MY FAVORITE SCENE
@@loserssuiteSame
YOU MADE ALL OF THAT?? It’s unreal!! So so gorgeous!!

0:15 followed by background music it truly scares me
True😅 I watched it like 20 times tho
You're a great animator, thank you, and whoever worked on these projects with you. I'm so glad I had the chance to witness most of these high-quality projects.
big in the game 🙌
Holy shit you animated that CSM so well, I had tears in my eyes during that scene once again
holy cow!! every scene looks absolutely stunning! the curse demon hand scene looks so complicated it's incredible you could keep track of it all and have it be so consistent!
I love the way the scenario moves with the characters. It looks like you are seeing through their perspectives. Looks so lively
As someone who wants to become an animator, but hasn't even started, this is both inspirational and motivating. ^-^
I absolutely love that Soulwinder animation. It's been one of my favorite stories as of late
between 0:06 - 0:09 this character is incredibly charming

YOU DID THOSE ONE PIECE ANIMATIONS??? THAT LAST ONE WAS LITERALLY FROM MY FAVORITE EPISODE!!!
I don't even know you yet I'm so incredibly proud of you! I wish you all the best on your artistic journey!
holy shit you animated one of my favorite scenes in chainsaw man ever. What the heck that's so fucking well animated!
I was so excited to see this post on my feed!

Idk what i did for this masterpiece to be recommended to me but iam glad❤
The chainsaw man scene was my favorite scene from the anime. Thank you for making it!
Someone who animates professionally i cannot stress how much animators are under appreciated. You litterly have to draw and color and plan every single frame. And then i plays ulin five seconds.
I'm genuinely so interested in "Yaoguai" I'll 100% be on the lookout for more of that.
The Himeno scene was so emotional. Amazing work!
Your work is so beautiful! That Chainsaw man scene sent chills down my spine when I watched it. Your personal project is also stunning, I hope the development for that is going well!
wait, the himeno scene with all the hands was really manmade? daamn
Your work is amazing! I was so excited when I saw that you helped work on Chainsaw Man!💕
Thanks for creating the best scene in chainsaw man, You are very talented.
You’re a fucking goddess at animating
Curie was in my internship class at Pixar. ^__^
@@bikotheanimator6169 what does she looks like
This is so super beautiful
Oh man, I can't believe I stumbled across this. Those two cuts of the ghost devil appearing were my favorite in the entire season! Incredible work
i NEED to see the full yaoguai project. so so sooooo happy that Chinese folklore/monster hunting is gaining more attention. super excited on where you take this!!!!
God I love this so much, i think I’ve watched it like 10 times now. I especially love 0:06, the way the eyes stay completely steady while the entire rest of the face moves it so unsettling! The soundtrack is so good too.
I watched that sequence from chainsaw man SO MANY TIMES. Absolutely stunning work.
Your animation is impressive and your personal projects shine so much!! I love your stylization. To another year of amazing animations!!!! :D
That Hades 2 fight scene man. I seriously can feel the heavy attacks just from watching
That skinless cyborg design from "Yaoguai" is so beautiful. It's so unique and mesmerising. You must've spent so much time designing and making the whole thing. I would love to see more of it!
Man, your work is honestly bringing me to tears. Phenomenal work, keep it up!
I've been subbed to your channel for many years and it's so crazy to see that you worked on chainsaw man!!! You are a very talented animator
Omg i love your personal work, I need to see it in an anime 😍
Your works are unreal, good choice of music btw, keep it up👍

0:53 Essa parte ficou tão satisfatório de ver, imagino o trabalho que deve ter dado cada animação dessa
Wooowww, I mean, animating for one piece and for chainsaw man is just amazing !! Great work!
Your animations from a few years ago inspired me to learn animation on my own. Holy- I didn't know you played a part in the csm animation 😭😭 That scene was unstoppable 🔥 keep up the good work!! Can't wait to see what the future hold for you 💗

You made one of the best shots from one of the best episodes of 2022. Thank you for making Chainsaw Man episode 8 and the overall series so special. Thank you thank you thank you 🙇🏻
I've noticed all of the shots that focus on hands in Chainsaw Man has literally been
1. Some of the best hands I've ever seen in animation
2. Honestly some of the best animation I've ever seen, and it's just hands!
I'm genuinely curious what that second shot is from. It's a really cool design and I'd love to see more of it.
Thank you! It's part of my personal short film that I'm working on. You can see a bit more of the project on my Patreon or Twitter (@lu_curie)!
@@CurieLu man its really cool! I thought its made by some big studio
keep it up!
This is why I love the animated medium
You can do things that don’t work so great in live action and bring it to life
This is incredible!!! Out of curiosity how long have you been animating, and do you have any advice for an aspiring animator? Keep up the great work
Wow one of the amazing digital circus Storyboard got inspired off of one of your scenes
It’s one of my dreams to be able to make something like this but I don’t know where to start. What programs do you use?
That scene from CSM was so chilling when I saw it. Happy to see you're getting to work on some great shows!
Вау...какая анимация прекрасная...(•♡~♡•) я так же хочу научиться делать анимацию.Надеюсь,что у меня когда нибудь получится ^^
I'm super duper impressed. Great work and keep it up!
It is incredible that you are the one who animated that scene from CSM, you are an outstanding animator seriously
You're work is AMAZING! Blessings to you and your loved ones

Thank you for sharing this with us!
Anyone that has done 2d animation will appreciate your excellent work!
You worked on One Piece and Chainsaw Man...Wowwww
as a young animatior this inspires me
Very true
You are an amazing individual, please get rest and I wish for the best of you going forward for 2023

Amazing work!! What impresses me most is your personal work. You NEED to expand on them!
What a time to be alive and lucky enough to witness such quality.
The background music from chainsaw man did justice.
Very clean animation and the music blends in just right.
That Laffy's entry will be a historic moment! So epic!!
thank you for your beautiful work, we are rooting for you 🙏🏼💗
Your art is amazing as always, Curie Lu. I am so inspired to draw whenever I see you post! I hope you have a wonderful 2023, take care!! 💖💖💖
You've inspired me to finally read and watch Chainsaw Man too just from this scene
Woooow that's so insane thank you for the quality
well there's someone i'm gonna immediately subscribe to for the rest of my life
This is so amazing!!! SO beautiful
