Great job with this! I'm sure everyone has been waiting for a Genshin-based anime, and here it is! You all did an AMAZING job with animating, voice acting, music and just the story itself! Keep up the good work and can't wait for Episode 2!

The clever use of reference such as albedo clones, Klee and Alice living in Golden Apple Apartment, the city being called new Khaenriah and Scaramouche being able to control the city elements such as making it rain or sunny (Such as Shouki no Kami being able to control almost all elements) gives this a very strong feeling of staying true to the root of genshin impact. The animation is as expected delivered amazingly. Kinda sad that it's only a 14 minutes ish video. Would love to see more
Yeah. The only minor complaint I have is that Alice seems so wildly different compared to her canon self, but that's jarring, but that's more my personal opinion and not a problem with the writing.
IT'S FINALLY HERE!!! I hope you all enjoy the full episode of Progenitor: The Shogunate! Anyone interested in Episode 2, let me know down below 👀 Thanks again to HoyoFair Spring 2023 for making this project possible!
Raiden and Albedo is a duo I didn't know we needed, it's so cool to see characters that wouldn't interact with each other work together in these animations, great job to everyone who worked on this, you guys are killing it man!
Considering that both are created artificially, Raiden Shogun is machine or pretty much a human like android with programming, and Albedo if I remember it right was created with alchemy
What the hell?! What is this?! Did you guys made this animation? This is amazing. It’s giving me the RWBY vibes when Monty was still alive and kicking.
Seeing that my main is dead is so sad but amazing at the same time because that means that, even though I won't see her too much, I'll maybe have the flashbacks from albedo later on 😞
dw even if it were to be a series it would take time but no money would really be involved it can be as a fan project that they would do time to time and with the models all done it would take a similar time
Holy. Raiden immediately noticing the soldier's momentary distraction and using this to her advantage to suddenly camuflage herself into another citizen with her umbrella open was pretty slick!
Fun fact: The reason why Scaramouche/Wanderer activated the rain at: 8:25 was because he's helping them escape and all this idea are Raiden and probably the other three archons. (Venti, Zhongli and Nahida.) I hope this series get more episodes.. It's amazing to watch this kinds of series.
Yeah, Scaramouche does not seem to be helping ZantaCorp. (Is that what they are called? Lmao) Raiden and Albedo are yellow and pink, while the droids are red/hostile 8:29 I really love how his hat is a mix between his Wanderer version/Lotus flower, and the red resembles his time as the Balladeer. But it's clear that he isn't a bad guy in this AU. So either the Corporation is the Fatui, and Scara defected. Or ZantaCorp is Celestia that wants to wipe out Synthetics to maintain order like in the canon game, and the Fatui are the synthetic movement. This takes place in a sci-fi version of Khaenri'ah/or in this case 'New' Khaenri'ah. Pretty interesting stuff. Now I want to play this version of Genshin Impact. I'd throw my money at it. Update: Oh! Oh! What if The Traveler/Twins are the bad guys in this?
@@ziephel-6780 OH NO! I hope not.. They're supposed to be the Savior against the ZantaCorp. But since there would have a war. It's possible that the twins might be responsible for it. But I hope it's the Celestia.
@@ziephel-6780 pretty sure it's spelt ZandiCorp in the captions, it sounds/spelt like Zandik (aka Dottore's name) so ZandiCorp may be related to the Fatui. But I might be wrong who knows
Blew my mind. Seriously. As a Genshin player who enjoys the lore and pretty visuals, this was insane. I loved the Albedo clones and Alice's face not being shown, the Shogun's polearm being able to switch as a gun to even an umbrella, and Scaramouche controlling the artificial weather with his hat!? 10/10, can't wait for more.
It's this kind of animation that made the early seasons of RWBY so good. The emotion put into every scene here is incredible and surpasses basically every animated show I've ever seen. Actually, it's even more than just the animation. The writing and the music were huge parts of what made this so good. I would love to see more of this style of animated storytelling.
@@crimsonhunter8997 I totally agree. RWBY changed after Monty passed. Monty left this world far too soon, but it's still really nice to see that a part of him and his genius lives on in animators like Dillon and Shane (two of the animators who made this video who worked with Monty on RWBY).
This is incredible on so many levels! Can't wait to see your next work! Head-canon: This story actually takes place in one of the many universes of the Honkaiverse...
oh my GOD are you KIDDING ME!? The bitch slap! The closeup on Ei’s eye when she said she tried to make things stay the same (actually made me tear up how dare you). Ei’s staff being so versatile!! The Albedo being dragged under her umbrella was so good. AND EI’S INCREDIBLE SPEED AS THE TRUE HALLMARK OF RAIDEN SHOGUN. THE EYE SYMBOL A SPILT SECOND BEFORE IT EXPLODED AND THE CHAKRA RING. EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS IS SO AMAZING HELLO!? TALENT!?
My jaw is on the floor. I think what really got me is HOW animated the characters were. Those facial expressions made me so invested. Wow! All around, just wow!
Many former RWBY animators here, or at least I recognized Shane Newville's name then saw on your profile you also animated there (Dillon). Happy to see you guys working on more passion projects, may Monty rest in peace
The show we didn't deserve but needed honestly everything about this is amazing, the animation, the strong genshin ties, and character designs look sick!
The fans will change the future. For once, she's not a domestic terrorist (yet) Or, hell, have her die but revive her as a synth, memories personality and all.
A great demonstration of the balance between drama, comedy, and action that most of Hollywood seems to have forgotten. Great fight choreography and visual language, that's equally at home in _Cyberpunk_ or _HSR_ . _Genshin_ players can also enjoy easter eggs and the way things relate to the game, while also appreciating how this is a separate world, with a different Alice who might value organic ties over synthetic ones. I'm very certain this Klee would be close friends with Hook.
The faint remorse in her expression when she makes it an ultimatum; she knows that he has no choice about accepting her help if he wants to protect Klee, but she also feels that she has no choice but to get his help through any means necessary if she wants them to win the war. All that! In one moment of resolute motionlessness and a faint twitch of brows!! What the fuck!!!! It's so good?????
Things I love about this animation: - The design for the city. It feels lived in despite there not necessarily being many people in the background. Just the details of the city's aesthetic, the weather and day cycle system... Nothing is out of place - The whole war going on that we don't even get to see. There's so much implied here that isn't explicitly explained. Albedo, Raiden, and Wanderer being 'synthetics' makes sense considering Genshin lore, but what about Sucrose? I'm guessing she was a sympathizer, which then recontextualises her death and why Albedo gets so worked up at 5:06 - 1:54 is such a cool and creative usage of Wanderer's hat. - That slap at 3:23 is not only hilarious, but also is a great way to show not tell that Raiden is not hostile - 6:09 that tea set design is really cool and intricate for the short amount of screen-time it gets - The hand-drawn animations at 7:10, 7:30 and 7:55 are hilarious but also really add to the style - 7:35 Klee the arsonist strikes again (this also explains why they've captured her later) - 8:35 the little worker on the platform panicking from the sudden weather system 'malfunction' lol - 8:44 I'm surprised the L-bot got distracted by the sudden change in weather. Surely if they were purely robotic they would focus on their primary objective? How 'human' are they really? - 10:21 the drone getting scared lol - 10:46 - 11:01 Raiden closes her umbrella, revealing more L-bots in the background while asking if L-13 really thought he could handle them all on his own - An original song that kinda slaps? And Waterflame is involved?!? - 0:10 spoilers???? All in all, this is a wonderful animation that evidently has so much heart and effort poured into it. It's faithful to the core parts of the source material but also impressively creative. It's all maybe just enough to forgive the cars popping in at 11:29 /s
Guessing the L-bot got distracted by the weather because it's 'supposed' to be a clear sky. It got distracted for just a moment, but that moment was enough for Raiden to notice it and adapt.
Also i like that in 6:23 and 7:38 Raiden and Scaramouche are possibly communicate for any robots coming their way, i don’t think Raiden could “sense” that they’re coming. So them working together are unstoppable >:))
12:18 just wanna say the sync here with the beat is such a neat detail, I keep rewatching it. This entire video was incredible, I'm genuinely blown away
I can’t tell you how badly i want more of THIS story; of this conflict. For a 12 minute video, you built a compelling narrative with clear emotional stakes. Dang I want more. I want to see what happens next. I want to see what Happened Before. I just want more
So the animators are RWBY fight guys huh? That explains the monty feelings throughout the episode, i can't wait for you guys to make it your own iconic animating style now!
indeed but that random slap to Albedo when she tried to clarify she wasn't an enemy, that came outta nowhere i bursted out laughing and forgot her epicness for a sec lmao
How can people animate character expressions to be this fluid? I could sense every kind of emotion felt by these characters just by their eyes. I can't easily remember any other animated media that has successfully done this so well. Truly master class!
So my aibou and I watched this and we were screaming the whole time, we loved every single minute of this, the wanderer with his hat, the raiden slap, the combat, mentioning sucrose broke us both big time, I would pay so much to see this become a series
This is literally the greatest animation that I have ever seen. I would definitely support this if you all made a full series. THEY SHOULD HIRE ALL OF YOU.
The full episode is S.T.U.N.N.I.N.G !!!!! Big congrats to Dillon and his crazy talented team! It was so much fun to work on this with you guys, and I can't wait to see what happens next!!! THE SUSPENSE KILLS ME
bruh you are literally creating million dollar content that even anime hasn't even come close to. this is epic. whoever is the sole creator/thinker of this project, you need to be hired immediately and paid by genshin for making this SSSS tier content. massive respect to you and your team. long live. ❤❤❤ ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Actually, there is a high possibility that this animation was sponsored by hoyoverse themselves. I wouldn't talk about all the genshin animations, but at least I'm sure about those which were showed in the Spring Wonderland web event. And I'm positive that all hoyofair animations are also sponsored by hoyoverse. But it doesn't make them bad, quite the opposite - I'm glad that animators get their payment.
Also, keep in mind: this man is using an altered version of Blender. It is still probably quite intensive to make like animated thing, but it's probably at least a little easier.
The level of animation, graphic effects, facial expressions and voice acting are beyond me, this is what I wished Hoyoverse would've done for their games, you people are truly talented! 🙏
i dont really know the lore of genshin, and ive never seen any of your animations before. but this animation, the choreography, the acting, with a very intriguing start to a story. I subbed so quick after watching and i will watch this story with great interest.
The animation itself is not 100% attached to genshin lore, but I'll explain the basics so you can get some detais. 1° = Albedo(in this case L-13), raiden, and the mysterious guy with the hacking hat (a.k.a. scaramouch) are not humans. Albedo ingame is made by a witch (idk exactly how, but I know he doesn't get old), the other 2 are madr by a god and are puppets. 2° = klee likes bombs, and alice is klee's mom. Albedo is not her brother, but they are pretty close and klee treats albedo like a brother 3° = inazuma. Because of the shogunate, much like real life events, inazuma (that is inspired by japan) is closeted to external events and all of that. And for this reason, they had a civil war, where ppl would fight for the end of the shogunate. As for now, there isnt anything else that I think is worth noting about gensgin's lore. ^^ Edit: oh also, raiden uses a polearm/sword, that is just a cosmetic detail. She is also electro (thunder element), while albedo is geo (rock, tho I dont think thats relevant). Oh, and dodoco is klee's plushie friend (its on her backpack)
@@alphawolf6214 oh, really? I didn't know (Tbh, I didnt really pay attention to the lore in the beginning of the game so I didnt get a lot of stuff lol)
@@AuxYuuYui Albedo is a synthetic human (not to sure if Homunculus was used to describe him in game) that was created by Rhinedottir, who had been trying to create a human through alchemy (She was already known to be able to create many other living beings).
I think its cool how both Scaramouche and Wanderer is shown in his design. He has the colors of Scara but most of the clothing is in Wanderer's fashion. Just a fun small detail :) Loved this Edit: I just realized what ZandiCorp was. Minus the -orp. LORE.
I really like the story and some of the details you put into this animation. In 3:25, Raiden slaps Abeldol in the face to make him realize she has no intention of harming him (If it's an enemy they will arrest him, not slap him). In 9:55, Raiden offers her hand to Abeldol while looking around to make sure there are no enemies nearby. That action shows that she is very careful and in a hurry
From a magical medieval setting to WAY far in the future in a cyberpunk setting. This really tingles my feelings! Inspiring! I might start crafting a Cyberpunk/Shadowrun world setting now!
This isn't an AU I expected, but boy am I interested! The animation and music are remarkable. A film mixed with serious, comedic, and downright badass scenes like this one deserves all the views in the world! The story is just developing, and may not get a sequel, but I was hooked for every last minute. I love this so much, and to everyone who came together to create this short film, thank you for your hard work!
Not an original comment: About Raiden's weapon. It actually represents both Ei AND Makoto super well. The umbrella can be used for disguise, covering identity, and even form a barrier, showing Matoko's protective nature of how she wants to keep Ei back. And the gun/polearm is obviously showing Ei's unrivaled combat prowess on how she always backs up Matoko whenever a battle is needed. The tea is kind of a reference on Ei's mission part 2 where she enjoyed a teatime with the traveler.
Guys, I don't know how you did it, but PLEASE, continue!! ❤️🔥 Though I usually don't like futuristic setting like this, seeing favorite characters in such a smooth and amazing anime is INCREDIBLE 😍🤯 I wish this series was given a helping hand by Hoyo themselves!
@@xXFlameHaze92Xx Good lord, RWBY animation only got the Sakuga right, the rest of the animation was atrocious, especially in the first few seasons. This is miles better than RWBY. The artists were actually given a proper story board and time to animate the characters. I hope these artists keep getting the opportunities to work in projects that utilize their full potential like this one.
SUBSCRIBED! I mean wow...just WOW! Its not only the organic animation, but the scene blocking, pacing, soundtrack, Voice acting, story....its a goddamn triumph of a fan project. I will watch this as long as you make it and share it with those around me because you absolutely killed it.
Wow, I'm genuinely blown away by this incredible fan-made Genshin Impact video! From the moment I hit play, I was immediately drawn into the cyberpunk-inspired world you've created. It's fascinating to see the characters of Raiden Shogun and Albedo reimagined in such an innovative setting, away from their usual Teyvat surroundings. The attention to detail in this animated video is simply stunning. The intricate environments, coupled with the pulsing energy of the cyberpunk aesthetic, showcases your artistic mastery and understanding of the genre. It's a unique and compelling interpretation that adds a fresh layer to the Genshin universe. Your narrative storytelling is not only powerful but also deeply evocative, perfectly capturing the complex dynamic between Raiden Shogun and Albedo. The emotions you've woven into this video are palpable and speak volumes about your narrative skills. The music choice is impeccable and sets the tone for this video so well, enhancing the futuristic, high-tech vibe and the tension of the plot. All in all, 'PROGENITOR: The Shogunate' is more than just a fan-made animated video - it's a remarkable blend of your passion for Genshin Impact, your creativity, and your proficiency in animation. I'm excited to see where you take this series next. Please keep up the fantastic work!
This. Is. The. Best. Thing. I. Have. Ever. Seen!! Albedo always was my favorite character in genshin due to his vast lore and character, and seeing him brought to life in this new world is one of the most amazing things ever! I'm so obsessed with this; the animation, the characters, THE MUSIC, THE VOICE ACTING??? This is beyond words of what I can comprehend
This is incredible, but I wish people would credit the entire team instead of acting like Dillon does everything by himself. This is the result of a team of artists working together to make something. They all deserve their flowers for making it. I can't wait to see what their original series looks like.
Hence, you usually see keyperson names credited at the intro of the vid, shown as it plays. Edit: I wonder why the team didn't do it here. I saw them did it just right in the anime intro before this vid.
It's going to drive me insane never knowing what led to Klee's fate. Also happy to see Waterflame involved in this. Waterflame's music is always soooooo good. And I love how the sound design contributes to directing the beats of each scene (even running footsteps dictate between break time 7:56 and BACK TO THE ACTION RUN LIKE HELL! 8:08 ). REAAAAAAALLY wished this wasn't a one-shot. This kind of storytelling is my cup of tea. ...Also, I want that retractable tea set.
@@eitanasteria2276 It was for HoyoFair Spring 2023. With that said... Is it not interesting that DillonGoo edited his pinned comment? ... I think it's interesting. Is there a way for us to show enough demand for the studio to get another sponsorship to make this happen again? Based on his revised pinned comment, maybe there is way... Maybe.
I'm so glad people are here and giving your work all the amazing support, especially behind all these original stories/reimaginations Hoping for the best for future success from here on out as always!
The attacking choreography is incredible!! I looks so fluid and realistic! Everything at 10:03 was awesome! Albedo's kick/spin/then 3 shots to 2 shots. And Raiden's weapon?! Just so cool!!
This *feels* like Genshin x Blade Runner, and I am all for it. Fantastic work as always, Dillon! And know that I, or rather, a version of me will be watching the world of Progenitor with great interest... :)
THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY GENUIS? The voice acting, the animation, combat, everything was just.. mwah. I love the idea of scaras hat being a literal computer. THANK YOU TO THE TEAM AND DILLONGOO🗣
If Khaenri'ah in canon Genshin was even remotely like what was hinted in this (absolutely amacing breathtaking masterpiece), it deserved everyting it got. Chapeau not only for an absolutely feast to watch, but for thought-provoking 😎
Wow, this almost feels like if Monty Oum spun Genshin with a Cyberpunk twist. And i do mean that as a compliment. Plus Albedo and Raiden surely make an interesting combination. This is genuinely pretty cool and I'd be so excited to see if this became a finished series.
Sweet sisters of mercy this is a feast for the senses. The animation, the lore, the set decoration, the sheer humanity at play in every facial expression. Even the INhumanity of the L-Series mooks speaks volumes. Just A+ work all around.
This reminds me so much of RWBY, the animation style, the fighting technics, the soundtracks, the models. I loved watching RWBY as a kid and this brought back so many good memories, the animation, its incredibly impressive both your skills and the voice actors, thank you for this video! It truly is amazing
The team did SOO GOOD! The story writing, the voice acting, the character designs, the attention to details with the Teyvat writing! OH MY GOODNESS IT’S PERFECT! the team did SO GOOD ON THIS! I genuinely wish there would be another episode because I am INVESTED
This is 10/10, I really like this one, but I noticed something messed up, at 11:30 you can see the top left corner, first the car is gone, but suddenly the car appears out of nowhere, like a wink
I NEED EP 2!! This is genuinely one of THE coolest things I've seen in a long while. And Scara.... oh my GAWd I love him / his role in this, it was so satisfying watching him type away.

Yeah, but then again donating to them gives them some income and maybe a message of sorts to show how much people appreciate their work
money and time sir
this is actually leagues above any other 3d animation ive seen on youtube. the age of sfm just cant cook as hard as this
quite refreshing i must say
10:46 coolest shit i’ve ever seen
sfm 1 is indeed over ....maybe if they officially release sfm 2 as a stand alone it can compete again
Neither can raiden 🤭
Holy. Raiden immediately noticing the soldier's momentary distraction and using this to her advantage to suddenly camuflage herself into another citizen with her umbrella open was pretty slick!
And how Scara changed the weather knowing the rain could be used as a chance for disguise was ingenious
8:10 I love how L-13 wordlessly apologized for RS-03 behaviour
Excellent little detail they included!
Yes. I wanted to comment that on the short video someone else posted after watching it in Mihoyo fair
yes
Fun fact: The reason why Scaramouche/Wanderer activated the rain at: 8:25 was because he's helping them escape and all this idea are Raiden and probably the other three archons. (Venti, Zhongli and Nahida.) I hope this series get more episodes.. It's amazing to watch this kinds of series.
sadly the literally subtely Sucrose is gone (wonder Timaeus is here) and the causes of future flashbacks or some layer of lore
Yeah, Scaramouche does not seem to be helping ZantaCorp. (Is that what they are called? Lmao) Raiden and Albedo are yellow and pink, while the droids are red/hostile 8:29
I really love how his hat is a mix between his Wanderer version/Lotus flower, and the red resembles his time as the Balladeer. But it's clear that he isn't a bad guy in this AU.
So either the Corporation is the Fatui, and Scara defected. Or ZantaCorp is Celestia that wants to wipe out Synthetics to maintain order like in the canon game, and the Fatui are the synthetic movement.
This takes place in a sci-fi version of Khaenri'ah/or in this case 'New' Khaenri'ah. Pretty interesting stuff.

It's this kind of animation that made the early seasons of RWBY so good. The emotion put into every scene here is incredible and surpasses basically every animated show I've ever seen. Actually, it's even more than just the animation. The writing and the music were huge parts of what made this so good. I would love to see more of this style of animated storytelling.
OMG! I AM SO GLAD THAT I AIN'T THE ONLY ONE THAT THIS VIDEO REMINDED ME OF THE EARLY VOLUMES OF RWBY AND THE FIGHTING STYLES!!
@@scarletlezycherry1311he worked on rwby before I believe. Around vol 3. Maybe he's back in the new one aswell
This is what RWBY should have been in the present day if Monty was alive. I’m pretty he would have put this type of upgrade for the series.
@@crimsonhunter8997 I totally agree. RWBY changed after Monty passed. Monty left this world far too soon, but it's still really nice to see that a part of him and his genius lives on in animators like Dillon and Shane (two of the animators who made this video who worked with Monty on RWBY).
I love that show. Feels underrated
THE DETAILSSSS, LOOK AT HOW AT 8:10 ALBEDO QUICKLY APOLOGISES FOR BUMPING INTO SOMEONE! This whole thing is a literal work of art oh my lord
YES HIS PERSONALITY CAME THROUGH SO WELL
THAT WAS SO CUTE
I didn’t even see that until you mentioned it 😂
FR!
Nice Catch...Creator is amazing
This is incredible on so many levels! Can't wait to see your next work!
Head-canon:
This story actually takes place in one of the many universes of the Honkaiverse...
That kinda makes sense
Holy shit yes
oh my GOD are you KIDDING ME!? The bitch slap! The closeup on Ei’s eye when she said she tried to make things stay the same (actually made me tear up how dare you). Ei’s staff being so versatile!! The Albedo being dragged under her umbrella was so good. AND EI’S INCREDIBLE SPEED AS THE TRUE HALLMARK OF RAIDEN SHOGUN. THE EYE SYMBOL A SPILT SECOND BEFORE IT EXPLODED AND THE CHAKRA RING. EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS IS SO AMAZING HELLO!? TALENT!?
Skill.
Since she fights for the rights of syntetics i dont think thats Ei, thats the Shogun puppet (also the RS-03 tatoo)
well yeah, he's been doin it for years
Isn’t it shogun?
That’s not Ei, that’s the Shogun. She just sounds and acts more lively because in this AU she’s grown more into her own person.
Seeing Raiden use her engulfing lightning and changes to a shotgun rifle is the coolest thing I see! Consider her as the Raiden Shotgunate.
Finally making that "Raiden Shotgun" meme into reality.
Thats some RWBY shit right there
yea thats the point of the shotgun my guy the reference
7:53
or we could say, raiden "SHOW"gun or shoGUN
My jaw is on the floor. I think what really got me is HOW animated the characters were. Those facial expressions made me so invested. Wow! All around, just wow!
ME THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE THING
Many former RWBY animators here, or at least I recognized Shane Newville's name then saw on your profile you also animated there (Dillon). Happy to see you guys working on more passion projects, may Monty rest in peace
The show we didn't deserve but needed
honestly everything about this is amazing, the animation, the strong genshin ties, and character designs look sick!
That hint right at the start that Klee will die is terrifying. Don't make Klee die.
The fans will change the future. For once, she's not a domestic terrorist (yet)
Or, hell, have her die but revive her as a synth, memories personality and all.
Ikr I thought that klee will die
@@TheSilverOne878noo
Ain't even a hint she straight up died there
@@Twinkle_Hoshiii as long as klee is alive at the end of the series I will be happy
Awesooome! It turned out so good :D Happy to have been a part of this! Well done to all the talented artists involved! 🎉❤
You and everyone on the music and sound team did AMAZING! THANKS SO MUCH
best work
Oh man, Waterflame worked on the soundtrack? Nice!
it was indeed glorious
*Yep they did! Hi Waterflame!*
the butterfly around 5:18… makes me wonder if it’s a reference to hutao and her butterflies/death
It’s a reference to Sucrose’s skill/ultimate.
Y’know the green wind butterfly.
A great demonstration of the balance between drama, comedy, and action that most of Hollywood seems to have forgotten. Great fight choreography and visual language, that's equally at home in _Cyberpunk_ or _HSR_ . _Genshin_ players can also enjoy easter eggs and the way things relate to the game, while also appreciating how this is a separate world, with a different Alice who might value organic ties over synthetic ones. I'm very certain this Klee would be close friends with Hook.
The faint remorse in her expression when she makes it an ultimatum; she knows that he has no choice about accepting her help if he wants to protect Klee, but she also feels that she has no choice but to get his help through any means necessary if she wants them to win the war. All that! In one moment of resolute motionlessness and a faint twitch of brows!! What the fuck!!!! It's so good?????
Things I love about this animation:
- The design for the city. It feels lived in despite there not necessarily being many people in the background. Just the details of the city's aesthetic, the weather and day cycle system... Nothing is out of place
- The whole war going on that we don't even get to see. There's so much implied here that isn't explicitly explained. Albedo, Raiden, and Wanderer being 'synthetics' makes sense considering Genshin lore, but what about Sucrose? I'm guessing she was a sympathizer, which then recontextualises her death and why Albedo gets so worked up at 5:06
- 1:54 is such a cool and creative usage of Wanderer's hat.
- That slap at 3:23 is not only hilarious, but also is a great way to show not tell that Raiden is not hostile
- 6:09 that tea set design is really cool and intricate for the short amount of screen-time it gets
- The hand-drawn animations at 7:10, 7:30 and 7:55 are hilarious but also really add to the style
- 7:35 Klee the arsonist strikes again (this also explains why they've captured her later)
- 8:35 the little worker on the platform panicking from the sudden weather system 'malfunction' lol
- 8:44 I'm surprised the L-bot got distracted by the sudden change in weather. Surely if they were purely robotic they would focus on their primary objective? How 'human' are they really?
- 10:21 the drone getting scared lol
- 10:46
- 11:01 Raiden closes her umbrella, revealing more L-bots in the background while asking if L-13 really thought he could handle them all on his own
- An original song that kinda slaps? And Waterflame is involved?!?
- 0:10 spoilers????
All in all, this is a wonderful animation that evidently has so much heart and effort poured into it. It's faithful to the core parts of the source material but also impressively creative.
It's all maybe just enough to forgive the cars popping in at 11:29 /s
Guessing the L-bot got distracted by the weather because it's 'supposed' to be a clear sky. It got distracted for just a moment, but that moment was enough for Raiden to notice it and adapt.
Also i like that in 6:23 and 7:38 Raiden and Scaramouche are possibly communicate for any robots coming their way, i don’t think Raiden could “sense” that they’re coming. So them working together are unstoppable >:))
You got the eye
im hoping 0:10 is just him dreaming of the future or somtthin
I'm both Albedo and Raiden main and this is just so amazing, I'm glad i discovered thus
Former RWBY animator BTW. This is what RWBY could have been.
12:18 just wanna say the sync here with the beat is such a neat detail, I keep rewatching it. This entire video was incredible, I'm genuinely blown away
Gawd now u mention it
I can’t tell you how badly i want more of THIS story; of this conflict. For a 12 minute video, you built a compelling narrative with clear emotional stakes. Dang I want more. I want to see what happens next. I want to see what Happened Before. I just want more
mains Albedo and Raiden are so thankful for this!! I hope the VAs could see this masterpiece.
Thank you so much for the love!
@@DarrelDelfin I LOVE YOUR VOICE❤
@@Celllllee THANK YOU 💛
IKR? The performances are amazing!
So the animators are RWBY fight guys huh?
That explains the monty feelings throughout the episode, i can't wait for you guys to make it your own iconic animating style now!
The way the animator made Raiden looks so cool throughout the whole vid is so deserving
indeed but that random slap to Albedo when she tried to clarify she wasn't an enemy, that came outta nowhere i bursted out laughing and forgot her epicness for a sec lmao
When I say I DESPERATELY need this as a full anime because I am completely IN LOVE with everything about this, I’m so serious
As a Raiden stan, THIS IS AMAZING!!! I’m so happy you choose her as the character for this animation! I can’t wait for the next one
bruh same
Raiden was also one of the protagonist of Honkai so this is fitting
As a klee fan i am scare
3:28 asain mum power flash backs 😭😭
How can people animate character expressions to be this fluid? I could sense every kind of emotion felt by these characters just by their eyes. I can't easily remember any other animated media that has successfully done this so well. Truly master class!
This is the same guy who did Rwby vol 3, so I'm not that surprised
this is also the guy who worked on combat gods 2. The dude is a genius, alongside his team. They are revolutionizing 3D Animes
Agreed. Incredible talent.🤩 The expressions were my favorite as well. Also body language and choreography. Blown away!
10:49 small detail but the impact frames on this explosion is literally Raiden's Ult. The details are insane in this animation
Holy shit that is so cool
Yes, I saw it
IM LITERALLY CRYING RIGHT NOW, THAT RAIDEN SMILE IN 3:42 IS EVERYTHING OMG MORE EPISODE PLEASE
That smile kills me 🥹🥹😭🫀
It's reminding me of Ai Hoshino 😭
Yor's smile
Makima's smile😭
Y’all just naming y’all’s favorite waifu💀
The reason the smile works is because he designed it to be a genuine smile, hence why it’s so cute
This draving quality, story and movements are amazing. I love the facial expressions especially the one in the first encounter 😂
So my aibou and I watched this and we were screaming the whole time, we loved every single minute of this, the wanderer with his hat, the raiden slap, the combat, mentioning sucrose broke us both big time, I would pay so much to see this become a series
I loved the idea of wanderers hat being a 3 screen computer, and him being the hacker of the group is cool!
Is this not the series he was talking about in one of his announcements? (genuine question, I really don’t know)
raiden smiling melted everyone's heart
No not me
it's like see Hideki Tojo smiling (yes in the bad way)
Real
Fr
and Sucrose death froze it back .
3:24 That Raiden slap made me chuckled a bit 😂
Every time
Raiden Sho Bitch slap
Albedo said: 👁️👄👁️ **attempts to fight again**
She's telling albedo who's boss
The casualness indicated, how wide the gap was between their power levels. This is "don't tell, show us!" 😎
7:15 the man run at the background 🙏😭
This is literally the greatest animation that I have ever seen. I would definitely support this if you all made a full series. THEY SHOULD HIRE ALL OF YOU.
The full episode is S.T.U.N.N.I.N.G !!!!!
Big congrats to Dillon and his crazy talented team! It was so much fun to work on this with you guys, and I can't wait to see what happens next!!! THE SUSPENSE KILLS ME
bruh you are literally creating million dollar content that even anime hasn't even come close to. this is epic. whoever is the sole creator/thinker of this project, you need to be hired immediately and paid by genshin for making this SSSS tier content. massive respect to you and your team. long live. ❤❤❤ ❤❤❤❤❤❤
The animator do get paid,also average anime episode take around 50-100k usd to made for a studio
Actually, there is a high possibility that this animation was sponsored by hoyoverse themselves. I wouldn't talk about all the genshin animations, but at least I'm sure about those which were showed in the Spring Wonderland web event. And I'm positive that all hoyofair animations are also sponsored by hoyoverse. But it doesn't make them bad, quite the opposite - I'm glad that animators get their payment.
Also, keep in mind: this man is using an altered version of Blender. It is still probably quite intensive to make like animated thing, but it's probably at least a little easier.
Wow... Jokes aside, this is a well-animated and well-written action film! Truly what a solid fan fiction should be.
The level of animation, graphic effects, facial expressions and voice acting are beyond me, this is what I wished Hoyoverse would've done for their games, you people are truly talented! 🙏
Facts 👏🏽.
And at least this animation made Albedo’s hair fluffy.
This is WAY too good to be left with one episode like this, it NEED to be a whole series/season
i dont really know the lore of genshin, and ive never seen any of your animations before. but this animation, the choreography, the acting, with a very intriguing start to a story. I subbed so quick after watching and i will watch this story with great interest.
The animation itself is not 100% attached to genshin lore, but I'll explain the basics so you can get some detais.
1° = Albedo(in this case L-13), raiden, and the mysterious guy with the hacking hat (a.k.a. scaramouch) are not humans. Albedo ingame is made by a witch (idk exactly how, but I know he doesn't get old), the other 2 are madr by a god and are puppets.
2° = klee likes bombs, and alice is klee's mom. Albedo is not her brother, but they are pretty close and klee treats albedo like a brother
3° = inazuma. Because of the shogunate, much like real life events, inazuma (that is inspired by japan) is closeted to external events and all of that. And for this reason, they had a civil war, where ppl would fight for the end of the shogunate.
As for now, there isnt anything else that I think is worth noting about gensgin's lore. ^^
Edit: oh also, raiden uses a polearm/sword, that is just a cosmetic detail. She is also electro (thunder element), while albedo is geo (rock, tho I dont think thats relevant). Oh, and dodoco is klee's plushie friend (its on her backpack)
@@AuxYuuYui actually Alice did adopt Albedo so Klee and him are rly sieblings
@@alphawolf6214 oh, really? I didn't know
(Tbh, I didnt really pay attention to the lore in the beginning of the game so I didnt get a lot of stuff lol)
@@AuxYuuYui Albedo is a synthetic human (not to sure if Homunculus was used to describe him in game) that was created by Rhinedottir, who had been trying to create a human through alchemy (She was already known to be able to create many other living beings).
@@lbg1690 yeah, but its just not really relevant to understand the video lol
man the animation is insanely good i really love it and cant wait to see more in the future!!
I think its cool how both Scaramouche and Wanderer is shown in his design. He has the colors of Scara but most of the clothing is in Wanderer's fashion.
Just a fun small detail :) Loved this
Edit: I just realized what ZandiCorp was. Minus the -orp. LORE.
Wait can you explain about ZandiCorp
@@s_aloner Il Dottore's real name is Zandik :D
I really like the story and some of the details you put into this animation. In 3:25, Raiden slaps Abeldol in the face to make him realize she has no intention of harming him (If it's an enemy they will arrest him, not slap him). In 9:55, Raiden offers her hand to Abeldol while looking around to make sure there are no enemies nearby. That action shows that she is very careful and in a hurry
And, at 11:02, her umbrella closes around the time she says "them all" to reveal a bunch of Dronebedos
3:24 She slap him in the face like he was nothing 😂 IM DYING JAJAJA
Snapped back to reality
His little look of disbelief when she slapped him
From a magical medieval setting to WAY far in the future in a cyberpunk setting. This really tingles my feelings!
Inspiring! I might start crafting a Cyberpunk/Shadowrun world setting now!
This isn't an AU I expected, but boy am I interested! The animation and music are remarkable. A film mixed with serious, comedic, and downright badass scenes like this one deserves all the views in the world! The story is just developing, and may not get a sequel, but I was hooked for every last minute. I love this so much, and to everyone who came together to create this short film, thank you for your hard work!
3:24 that slap was personal
Not an original comment:
About Raiden's weapon. It actually represents both Ei AND Makoto super well. The umbrella can be used for disguise, covering identity, and even form a barrier, showing Matoko's protective nature of how she wants to keep Ei back. And the gun/polearm is obviously showing Ei's unrivaled combat prowess on how she always backs up Matoko whenever a battle is needed. The tea is kind of a reference on Ei's mission part 2 where she enjoyed a teatime with the traveler.
woah that's cool
Guys, I don't know how you did it, but PLEASE, continue!! ❤️🔥
Though I usually don't like futuristic setting like this, seeing favorite characters in such a smooth and amazing anime is INCREDIBLE 😍🤯
I wish this series was given a helping hand by Hoyo themselves!
Raiden Shogun and Albedo... THE DUO WE NEVER KNEW WE NEEDED!
Why did this have to be a genshin fan animation? It's so well done that this could be it's own thing, the next RWBY
Hopefully minus the downfall...
Imagine a fanfic of a game is way better been RWBY than RWBY themselves
keep in mind dilongoo were already RWBY fight animators
@@xXFlameHaze92Xx Good lord, RWBY animation only got the Sakuga right, the rest of the animation was atrocious, especially in the first few seasons. This is miles better than RWBY. The artists were actually given a proper story board and time to animate the characters. I hope these artists keep getting the opportunities to work in projects that utilize their full potential like this one.
@@RKNancy honestly the “atrocious” animation of the earlier seasons was apart of its charm
I am so blown away. This was incredible. Thank you for letting me breathe life into L-13, @DillonGoo.
Was a pleasure animating to your acting. Y’all VAs slayed fr 🙏
You did an INCREDIBLE job as L-13!! Thanks for being part of this project!
@@soranin9017 But YOU made the magic happen. Thank you so so much!!!
@@dillongoo I'd do it again, no questions asked. Thank you for having me! 🤗
SUBSCRIBED! I mean wow...just WOW! Its not only the organic animation, but the scene blocking, pacing, soundtrack, Voice acting, story....its a goddamn triumph of a fan project. I will watch this as long as you make it and share it with those around me because you absolutely killed it.
Wow, I'm genuinely blown away by this incredible fan-made Genshin Impact video! From the moment I hit play, I was immediately drawn into the cyberpunk-inspired world you've created. It's fascinating to see the characters of Raiden Shogun and Albedo reimagined in such an innovative setting, away from their usual Teyvat surroundings.
The attention to detail in this animated video is simply stunning. The intricate environments, coupled with the pulsing energy of the cyberpunk aesthetic, showcases your artistic mastery and understanding of the genre. It's a unique and compelling interpretation that adds a fresh layer to the Genshin universe.
Your narrative storytelling is not only powerful but also deeply evocative, perfectly capturing the complex dynamic between Raiden Shogun and Albedo. The emotions you've woven into this video are palpable and speak volumes about your narrative skills.
The music choice is impeccable and sets the tone for this video so well, enhancing the futuristic, high-tech vibe and the tension of the plot.
All in all, 'PROGENITOR: The Shogunate' is more than just a fan-made animated video - it's a remarkable blend of your passion for Genshin Impact, your creativity, and your proficiency in animation. I'm excited to see where you take this series next. Please keep up the fantastic work!
This. Is. The. Best. Thing. I. Have. Ever. Seen!! Albedo always was my favorite character in genshin due to his vast lore and character, and seeing him brought to life in this new world is one of the most amazing things ever! I'm so obsessed with this; the animation, the characters, THE MUSIC, THE VOICE ACTING??? This is beyond words of what I can comprehend
This is incredible, but I wish people would credit the entire team instead of acting like Dillon does everything by himself.
This is the result of a team of artists working together to make something. They all deserve their flowers for making it. I can't wait to see what their original series looks like.
For real, there was a team on animators credited, not just him
Everyone involved is listed in the description, but no one reads that shit these days
Hence, you usually see keyperson names credited at the intro of the vid, shown as it plays.
Edit: I wonder why the team didn't do it here. I saw them did it just right in the anime intro before this vid.
read the description bruh.
Full credits are in the description and at the end of the film, like all films. Not sure what more you are expecting ?
Im so impressed you made your own music too, that ending theme is so cool, like something hiroyuki sawano would make
I don’t know if people noticed, but at 7:38 in the video klee blows up some of the drone things and that’s why she’s captured
I'm pretty sure they captured her because they figured she knows Albedo?
It's going to drive me insane never knowing what led to Klee's fate.
Also happy to see Waterflame involved in this. Waterflame's music is always soooooo good.
And I love how the sound design contributes to directing the beats of each scene (even running footsteps dictate between break time 7:56 and BACK TO THE ACTION RUN LIKE HELL! 8:08 ).
REAAAAAAALLY wished this wasn't a one-shot. This kind of storytelling is my cup of tea.
...Also, I want that retractable tea set.
THIS WAS ONLY A ONE-SHOT?? NOOOOOO
@@eitanasteria2276 It was for HoyoFair Spring 2023. With that said... Is it not interesting that DillonGoo edited his pinned comment?
... I think it's interesting. Is there a way for us to show enough demand for the studio to get another sponsorship to make this happen again? Based on his revised pinned comment, maybe there is way... Maybe.
@@K-16 I sure hope so :/ if they decided to continue this as a series, I would definitely do my best to support them!
I'm so glad people are here and giving your work all the amazing support, especially behind all these original stories/reimaginations
Hoping for the best for future success from here on out as always!
クォリティ高いな凄い
エンディングのスローで走ろうとしてる二人の姿と雷電将軍が傘で爆風を防ぐのかっこよくて好き
後スクロースに何があったのかめっちゃ知りたい
こんな素晴らしい動画無料でいいの…？
本当に感謝しますありがとうございます。
this looks like a show i’d actually watch just to learn more about the universe it’s so detailed and interesting just for one “episode” great work!
Everyone talking about how amazing the animation is but aren't we gonna talk about poor Klee 😔 😢
she dies?
who? 👌😂
Ah the ar*onist you mean?
Poor? She kicks ass!
@@darianstarfrog I think he's referring to 0:10 where we see a body.
The attacking choreography is incredible!! I looks so fluid and realistic! Everything at 10:03 was awesome! Albedo's kick/spin/then 3 shots to 2 shots. And Raiden's weapon?! Just so cool!!
Basically how some of the John Wick fight choreography _should_ have been.
@@AC-fi8ge nah this choreography is more similar to RWBY fights
This *feels* like Genshin x Blade Runner, and I am all for it. Fantastic work as always, Dillon! And know that I, or rather, a version of me will be watching the world of Progenitor with great interest... :)
well cyberpunk WAS inspired by blade runner soo. youre pretty bang on the money about the style. xD
THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY GENUIS? The voice acting, the animation, combat, everything was just.. mwah. I love the idea of scaras hat being a literal computer. THANK YOU TO THE TEAM AND DILLONGOO🗣
If Khaenri'ah in canon Genshin was even remotely like what was hinted in this (absolutely amacing breathtaking masterpiece), it deserved everyting it got.
Chapeau not only for an absolutely feast to watch, but for thought-provoking 😎
7:36 Didn't get it at first, but that's Klee trying to help her brother, isn't it? And that's why the L-Bots are taking her in later on
Yea! Great observation!
Why did I see an explosion?!
Bro my 2 braincells were so confused for like 30 minutes-
Wow, this almost feels like if Monty Oum spun Genshin with a Cyberpunk twist. And i do mean that as a compliment. Plus Albedo and Raiden surely make an interesting combination. This is genuinely pretty cool and I'd be so excited to see if this became a finished series.
If there was gonna be an episode 2 I would be happy
Sweet sisters of mercy this is a feast for the senses. The animation, the lore, the set decoration, the sheer humanity at play in every facial expression. Even the INhumanity of the L-Series mooks speaks volumes. Just A+ work all around.
Nownow this is the best comment.
BRO THIS IS SO COOL, from the animation, story writing, music, voice acting, song choice, everything so smooth I'd binge watch this anytime!
AYYYYYYYYYYYY THIS IS AMAZING
I'm absolutely in love with this series and it's just the first episode
This is my new favorite series ong
This reminds me so much of RWBY, the animation style, the fighting technics, the soundtracks, the models. I loved watching RWBY as a kid and this brought back so many good memories, the animation, its incredibly impressive both your skills and the voice actors, thank you for this video! It truly is amazing
I mean, he did animated rwby volume 3, so I couldn't blame you
lol, it makes sense its like RWBY considering dilon was on RWBY team for fight animation
Dilon and Shane Newville used to work on RWBY, so makes sense why the fighting choreography is so good :))
I also remembered RWBY specially with Raiden's weapon transformation.
He did work on Volume 3 :D
The team did SOO GOOD! The story writing, the voice acting, the character designs, the attention to details with the Teyvat writing! OH MY GOODNESS IT’S PERFECT! the team did SO GOOD ON THIS! I genuinely wish there would be another episode because I am INVESTED
holy shit what is this absolute gem? the writing, animation, storytelling style - wow
This is 10/10, I really like this one, but I noticed something messed up, at 11:30 you can see the top left corner, first the car is gone, but suddenly the car appears out of nowhere, like a wink
i hope that this becomes a full series mannnn im already so obsessed i already have so many fan art ideas
One of the episode that I really want to see in full after the HoYoFair Spring 2023 broadcasted. Great job to you and your team!
AHHH thanks so much :D I hope you enjoyed the episode!!
I didnt know I needed Raiden's smile so badly 3:42 ❤❤❤ This is such an amazing animation!!!
I NEED EP 2!! This is genuinely one of THE coolest things I've seen in a long while. And Scara.... oh my GAWd I love him / his role in this, it was so satisfying watching him type away.
