This video was in the works before OhTheSunnySide came out about Gabriel, the former voice of 'Happy ENA', and her experiences with him. The video focuses more on the artists & game devs, and Gabriel was only mentioned in passing. My heart goes out to Sunny
I clicked the moment I read ENA. You have no idea how addicted I've been to this series ever since my best friend decided to reference this in front of me and forced me to watch all 3 episodes at the time like 2 years ago at this point. I'm an avid patron of Joel's and am currently awaiting DREAM BBQ, utterly brimming with excitement at any new turn of ENA related content.
Random fact: Lizzie Freeman (original sad ENA VA) voices Pomni from The Amazing Digital Circus, and Nola Klop (Dream BBQ ENA VA) voices V from Murder Drones, both series are produced by GLITCH.
Another random fact: Happy Ena's first VA, Marc Rafanan, is a groomer, her second VA, Gabe Velez, is a rapist, and her third VA, Griffin Puatu, is known for Louis in "Beastars" and New Police Chief in "Akudama Drive".
@@metalmosaic_ Aleks Le voices Devil Cookie from Cookie Run Kingdom, and unlike Marc and Gabe, Lizzie, Nola, Griffin, and Aleks have nothing particularly horrible on them right now.
@@metalmosaic_id like to also point out that Aleks voices a different ENA (as far as we know) than the ENA we know so i personally dont see any connection
ENA’s surreal nature captivated me immediately. It is my absolute favorite thing to come from this website. That said, I do hope that hands up’s hiatus ends after dream bbq releases. There is another certain charm to that show and it’d be a shame for it to end already
recently there hasn't been a _ton_ of talk and content about ENA (aside from patreon, ofc. and the gabe situation but i dont wanna include that) so this video was a surprise to find, being so recent, but a very welcome one. it's always great seeing some behind-the-scenes ENA stuff and you did a great video covering a lot of stuff!
I've been a massive fan of Joel's work for the longest time and it seems that the creators that I like are also involved with ENA as well (who knew, coincidence ? Who knows !). Like you I'm anticipating incredible things, and I have not once been disappointed with what has come from Joel's team. It's been phenomenal, and inspirational to someone like me who's trying to figure all this out !
What are the odds. A few weeks ago I decided to watch ENA after hearing about it for years. A week after that, I subscribed to Pina for the first time after watching him for a few years. This video's quite the coincidence.
I’ve always admired Ena as a creation. It’s gone on to influence some of my own work. Let me tell you, when logic takes a back seat it really allows for the experience of something to flourish. You don’t know what will happen next because it’s basically unpredictable
Its a great video, but man... the timing of this is pretty bad... Gabe (the voice of yellow ENA) was called out 2 days ago by his ex girlfriend, he abused her sexually and gave her an STI
@@mlgswagmaster8913 Ugh, is not letting me write the site but if you head over the El*n site and search for OhTheSunnySide you'llbe able to see the callout, she posted it two days ago
"Called out by his ex girlfriend"? Oh no, are you seriously one of those people that believes someone the second they say something. For the 1000th time, we can't just immediately hate someone because of an allegation or tweet. And even so, separate the art from the artist. Their personal life is irrelevant from the Ena series.
@@alexanderhdmi7704 I would do that if the whole deal didn't provide medical evidence, Gabe accepting he did r*pe her and the fact that he left social media, but woah, the whole deal does provide all of this! Besides, this one artist (Gabe) is someone you can't really separate since his art is himself as a voice, soo- Congrats to the artist who fucked up their entire career by doing stuff that directly involves them!
@@Will_-it3mhbacically, the main voice actor of Enas yellow side has been exposed for r4ping and giving his Ex-GF STI( sexually transmited infection) ,wow, also the creator of this vid actually learned about the Gabe situation, and made a comment about it, if you wanna know more, search up "ENA Gabriel Rape case", you get more info that way
But why are all the voice actors of the male/happy part of ENA such bad people?!😭😭😭😭 Marc got accused for grooming and Gabe got accused for sexual harrasment
man I went from the hotdiggedydemon vid to your channel cause I saw you also covered worthikids' Bigtop Burger and then I see that your most recent video is ENA?! add to the fact that I then saw shen and man your recent vids have been on absolute bangers of content my guy.
the game has to make 200,000$ im p sure to be affected by unitys new policy so the free version of the game atleast probably wouldn’t be affected but i am wondering if they’re gonna change or move/get rid of the dev version which would kinda suck cause i wanted to buy it😭
@@chloe1334 Might as well update now. Unity compromised with having that only apply to Unity 6 and beyond. They should be good That being said, I am not upgrading to Unity 6.
As someone who just finished watching the series and I find the series to be really awesome. It is very interesting and weird but I love it. ENA herself is a bit complicated too. Having split personalities and different voices can feel a bit weird but it’s pretty cool. I can’t wait to see what there is more to come. And nice job to the entire team and the voice actors for ENA. You’re all awesome
I hope I will return to this channel a feel great nostalgia. JoelG have made great works, but the game is a huge endeavor so I'm worried something could go wrong. I know I have seem some certain other animators implode after breaking out. I absolutely hope JoelG is one big successes.
Peronsally I think the new Enas are all apart of old Ena. And that the kinda gray blue looking Ena is Sad Ena before she had a fully defined personality yet. I do believe in the DID Ena theory and lus some alters do not always immediately have full personalities/understanding of heir role the second they form. That's what that Ena makes me think of.
I am a Spanish Native Speaker, and I am trying to hear Joe G talking and the English translation at the same time hahahahaha I ended up giving myself a hard time just to hear the same in both sides, I dunno I thought it would be funny
I’m not sure what was going on 11 months ago but I’d like to add on(sorry I didn’t watch the entire thing yet I just wanted to make sure it was mentioned) Ena isn’t really exploring any worlds as it states in the upcoming game she’s the most hated at a party which is basically her entire series different kinds of parties Extinction party was quite literally an extinction party Temptation stairway was an event of the great ruinas kind of a party I guess Auction day was an auction party And now the game DREAM BBQ where she has to go and get things for a BBQ party And every character who speaks in a different language for sure seems to hate her the captions just make it seem like they’re saying something that’s completely different and even the ones that speak English seem to hate her or try to be nice to avoid activating it’s side side. Yes I said She but it’s also a he they then thing it so…. Yeah.
Eh, true, but that doesn't mean we have to stop talking about it (especially now with the new ep and the game on the way. I'd say it's a good time for revival, if anything).
E meio chato não ter legenda em português,tem poucos ou quase nulo youtuber que falam sobre isso,não estou reclamando so estou dizendo que algumas pessoas da internet poderiam colocar ou a opção de legenda pra Português e outras línguas ativadas,só isso mesmo.
I will fully admit that ENA is not for me. The plot is like looking into the face of god and being unable to comprehend its grand designs. but i like learning about its creation and meanings and I am glad you brought up other animated projects Joel worked on so that i can find more stuff to enjoy
Man, I'm really happy with the direction of your channel now, these videos are super enjoyable and I learn a lot from them! This has always been you best type of content!
I don't know of any other awful person other than the one I've been hearing about the most recently though I don't know any information about these characters so I have no context other than the most recent thing. What happened?
A while ago I made an Ena Lore video, it's a work I've tried many times to understand and dissect and while there are a few hidden details (such as codes or language translations) I've never really understood it's 'meaning.' I don't even know if there might even be a point to the work and perhaps the work is supposed to keep us perplexed at it's world rather than its message. Still the fact that Joel has managed to make so many people invested in the story behind it makes me wonder whether they are an abstract genius who well and truly understands each minor detail and how it impacts their work or if they are shaking their head in disappointment at what is seemingly an enjoyable work used for purposes of expression that has been misshapen by many content creators (myself included). Very interested to see how your video highlights their creative process.
Well, I for one really enjoyed your ENA deepdives!! And as an artist myself, I can personally say - that even _if_ there's not as much thought actually put into all of this as we think (which, tbh, I doubt- creativity like this (especially in the case of dbbq) doesn't come from nowhere after all), it's still really flattering to hear people think deep into your art and maybe even extract things from it that you hadn't thought about. So you have nothing to worry about on that front I think lol
I think i watched joel g's dora teenager show and i got addicted to his work then after that i forgot him alot of time passed now im addicted to ena it was ment to be ive also watched alot of pencilmation so its 100% ment to be
As much as I dislike fanaticism, I really enjoy Ena she is my favorite amongst fiction, and I just watched yesterday @JoelG you have uploaded brilliance

Same man. Thanks For the kind words😊😊😊😊
Okay,i Understand. For second i thought we talked about the Controversy.
DAMN I didn’t know the S.A accusations until now.
It’s like happy Ena could never be happy with their voice
@@PrysmaticationENA's previous voice before Gabriel also had dirt dug out on him,it seems that ENA can never truly live in peace.
JoeG: I don't like charging people
The viewers: Shut up and take our money
Darn im still to young to keep an e wallet
But if i do, i would donate to the king joel 5$ and buy ena tier
If it helps them make more games like dream barbecue then yeah for sure. Take my damn money.

Idk why but i think the fortnite in the corner at 11:27 is funny
ENA has resonated with me very well and I’m very exited for this game! Great video
13:36 “That’s not Ena, that’s a fire hazard.” What’s the difference?
I love ENA but I really love 2 Ants 1 President. I really hope that series can continue one day.

This series is one of the most creative I’ve seen in a while. I hope that when the game comes out I’ll have the money to support them.
Wait they’re making this in unity? Oh…oh no…

Man I’m still bummed the vrchat extinction party world is still bugged and somehow missing but not.
I'm so glad they decicded to expand the game instead of letting it be a small interactive episode.
Ena is an will always be my favorite character

I literally check steam for Dream BBQ like almost every day
REGRUIHUIEHGE IT'S BEEN SO LONG SINCE I KNOW ABT THIS GAME AND I'M JUST AS EXITED AS I WAS WHEN I FIRST FOUND OUT ABT IT
Hey, I'm from Perú too!
A bit surprised to hear the animation style was originally based on The Town With No Name. I always felt like it was Zelda CD-I inspired.
I hope I will return to this channel a feel great nostalgia. JoelG have made great works, but the game is a huge endeavor so I'm worried something could go wrong. I know I have seem some certain other animators implode after breaking out. I absolutely hope JoelG is one big successes.

I am a Spanish Native Speaker, and I am trying to hear Joe G talking and the English translation at the same time hahahahaha I ended up giving myself a hard time just to hear the same in both sides, I dunno I thought it would be funny
to be honest, i don't think ena HAS lore, besides what's obvious (the fact that going to runas after the wishing event to make a wish is prohibited)
its better to delay a game then to rush a release. take ur time
cant wait to see a speedrun, how much it gives a middle finger to the pacing, and watch the devs react to the insanity
it was me, I did the 1k. Awesome video by the way!
This might be the only good daftpina video
I don't like hearing "N Uh" tbh. I prefer "E Nuh".
ENA moment
i was wonering what happened to hands up sad to see it go
Hi
MIDDENS MENTIONED!
MIDDENS MENTIONED!
WAIT IS THE PERSON REASDING SOME OF THE TWEETS PARAMASQURADE?!
I’m not sure what was going on 11 months ago but I’d like to add on(sorry I didn’t watch the entire thing yet I just wanted to make sure it was mentioned) Ena isn’t really exploring any worlds as it states in the upcoming game she’s the most hated at a party which is basically her entire series different kinds of parties
Extinction party was quite literally an extinction party
Temptation stairway was an event of the great ruinas kind of a party I guess
Auction day was an auction party
And now the game DREAM BBQ where she has to go and get things for a BBQ party
And every character who speaks in a different language for sure seems to hate her the captions just make it seem like they’re saying something that’s completely different and even the ones that speak English seem to hate her or try to be nice to avoid activating it’s side side. Yes I said She but it’s also a he they then thing it so…. Yeah.
Joel Guerra is from Perú, so his name is not exactly pronounced "Youl" but "Hoel", in spanish
Amazing jojo shirt
ENA :0000
Poor timing, once again, but I can't really blame you for that; the world you cover is filled to the brim with degenerates.
What happened? Is the creator involved in something?

One hell of a drug trip but it's webcore at it's finest
14:12 Do you see that person that randomly commented "I don't like you" ?
13:00 is that a fucking selknam?
I do feel like that ENA was kinda something that was really popular back in 2020-2021 and then died out

Cheese and rice comment section
pronouncing their name wrong
and the and
bfdi
you didnt even have to clickbait you couldve just made a video actually talking about ena lore wtf
Not really lore from a story perspective, but rather from a behind-the-scenes view.
You could at least pronounce right his last name
