I really enjoyed voicing Zale! The animation is so smooth, and the music fits so perfectly as I said before, so I can't wait to voice him again for the later episodes!
Wow!! The art in this is absolutely stunning!! This whole animation is so visually stunning, and smooth! The voice acting in this is also so fantastic!! Ahhh~ I cannot wait to see more! :'D
When will the missing light continue? Probs my favourite story ever... sorry if I'm bothering you, I know how long it takes to animate, just curious if the series is still in your insterests... it would be a sad loss...
Blixemi I thought TH-camrs had no time to do what they want and were forced to do their job all the time and never get breaks to see their family ever. Im joking, you knew that right? Also you should make a GreyStripe and SilverStream song.
This is my favorite project I've done with Hikarian so far. Composing music for Tales of Zale Episode 1 was really an adventurous experience on my end! The amount of work everyone put into this first episode was tremendous. I'm happy to finally see this released, I hope everyone enjoys it! :D
This gives me guardians of ga'hoole vibes! Not because there are birds, but the ruins and adventure. The whole post-humans world, I'm really digging it!
Guys! It quality over quantity! Animations as good as this takes many people and lot's of time. I don't think ANYBODY will be happy if the next is rushed and crappy. Be patient and it will come out eventually.
aaaaaaaaa everything is so pretty and beautiful! And I love Zale and Elva so much, they're adorable! If merchandise ever came featuring their adorable mugs (especially plushies) I would be on those in a flash! Very, very happy to have been a part of this!
This thing is now going to be a book- And a T.V. show. And an amazing fanbace- And a pain in the butt for you bc of all the asking for the next ep- Im hyped
Well, I'm ONLY 8 years late, but I stumbled upon this after watching your much more recent masterpiece of a short animation of this series. Even though this episode is obviously MUCH older, it's VERY EASY to see the passion and ambition you have for this project. 4:07 is literal proof of this. I mean, COME ON, YOU HAVE TO BE A LITERAL MADMAN to try to pull off that kind of shot so early in your animation journey! It's incredibly rare to see someone ambitious enough not only to attempt it so early, but also show it off publicly AND pull if off SO GOD DAMN WELL! It's downright incredible and inspiring to see such potent talent like that. WELL DONE to you and your team!
Holy crap, these animations are so smooth! And the voice acting!! The voice acting!!! It were so good that I didn't even think to react on it until the end!
Beautiful! I love the animation, especially how you draw the owl. It is true that some owls stay up during the morning and sometimes wake up during the afternoon, so I think that the timing is good to.
wow this turned out amazing. I remember when you sent me the animatic of this BUT THIS....It came out much better. And well done to all the voice actors you all did an amazing job (and I'm hard to impress with voice over work). Music was also another amazing thing fit the world perfectly. The only criticism I can give this is maybe adding in just 1 more frame instead of animating on 4-5s...oh yea and LENS FLARES AND CAMERA SHACK!!! Keep up the great work Sif ;)
I'm so impressed by how much work you've put into this and how polished the final result is. Your attention to sound design, oft the most neglected aspect by many animators, is especially admirable. You should give Matthew, Ryan, Mack, and Nick a big pat on the back for their help in tying it all together. I really hope this project works out and gets the attention it deserves so you can keep making more large productions like it.
This is absolutely amazing work!! I love it, Backgrounds are gorgeous. Animation is so smooth. Story so far seems good, great pacing, not too slow or too rushed. Even the voice acting has real quality :)
I remember watching this when I was younger, its actually quite nostalgic now, and seeing the new videos its so amazing to see the level of improvement!
That was gorgeous! I really dig the setting and tone. It's got a nice dash of whimsy to it and the low framerate didn't stop me from enjoying the performance. Love it! :D
+Jonathan Jones WOW! You voice act Springtrap and Bonnie from the Tony Crynight animations, I didn't expect you here. I'm one of your subscribers! Well... Anyways, have a nice day! ^_^
Truly an amazing piece of work you've got here. Also that cat at the end sounded just like Balthier from FF XII All the voices were top notch and I'm so genuinely interested in this now
This was super lovely and it came out incredibly polished, HK! I really liked the sense of mystery and discovery in this world and I also noticed the little changes you put in your characters from your last pass on critique. This makes me soooo happy and I can't wait to see more of this story :D
I'm so excited to see this from when I watched it last time! It'll be fun to see where this goes and if a backstory goes along with it on how the humans vanished. And dangit I love this animation so much. It's so smooth and beautiful.
At first I wasnt sure on how well I liked this but over time I found Zale's voice to have a sort of innocent quality to it that made him rather cute while Zelva's voice I simply adore hearing. It was paced well and the characters were allowed their pleasentries without me wanting to skip anything, and more so it ended after finding a rather intense sounding cat. I really look forward to knowing who he is and what is going on.
I really love the storybook-esque style of this animation. It really does add on to the animation itself! And the worldbuilding is great along with lovable characters! And the voice acting is great, too! Lovely work. As an animator myself, I always admire the hard work people put out to show to the rest of us.
I’m coming back to re-watch these episodes over and over again, I’m super intrigued by the animation and storyline! I can’t wait for the 3rd eps! (I think third, I don’t remember)
At first I was like gah, low ish frames, but then I saw the how high the quality is... This is absolutely stunning, amazing work will definitely keep up with the series
Found this over on Newgrounds and had to find you on TH-cam so I could keep better track of this story. Right off the bat, the voice acting is good, but the story you've started seems like it'll be a grand tale. I'm ready for more from this Zale of yours.
I really enjoyed voicing Zale! The animation is so smooth, and the music fits so perfectly as I said before, so I can't wait to voice him again for the later episodes!
Outstanding job there, keep it up.
Aw! Your voice for this character was so cuddly and perfect. Great job!
For some reason, the voice reminded me a lot of the english dub of Moomin, from the show of the same name back in the early 90's. Anyway, great work!
Genuinely curious: how old are you?
I'm 18 years old, almost 19- ;;
Wow!! The art in this is absolutely stunning!! This whole animation is so visually stunning, and smooth!
The voice acting in this is also so fantastic!! Ahhh~ I cannot wait to see more! :'D
Blixemi Bilxemi!!!!!!!!!
No... UR AMAZING! WALK WITHOUT THE STARS IS AMAZING

You did an absolutely amazing job with the music as well! A pleasure to work with as always : )
Not sure how I got here but I love this. 💜
MissFushi idk how i got here, but I love the anime eyes! :D
Same!
Same!
I got here from a meowth song lol
Same
Bro, this has NO RIGHT to be this good, the animation, the sound design. This should be a TV show, not a TH-cam animated series.
Euu brodda eww what is u
Yeah your aright
@@Picklecatcookie no need to be rude bro
Gotta say, that voice actor for zale should be TH-cam famous
This is really a high quality series, i really adore this. I can't wait to see the next episode!
This gives me guardians of ga'hoole vibes! Not because there are birds, but the ruins and adventure. The whole post-humans world, I'm really digging it!
OMG YOU READ THOSE TOOO
Also makes me think of the Scurry Graphic novel series
@@solo-ion3633 wow 40 mins ago
When i saw the cat in the ruins i was like "KITTYYYYY!!"
White death bunny of epic foreshadowing!
Betsy Lee don't you mean plot conveence fairy
(Wrighter joke)
No no don't end do soon! This was one of the best animations I've ever seen, and the scenery was so beautiful. It was just amazing
PhantomX768 Good thing episode 2 is on it's way then : )
Yay
Yes! Sif, the animation only got better. Voice acting is quite clean too. Great choice of music. Can't wait for episode 2!
I think I preferred the old animation better tbh
03:00 the snack that smiles back goldfish
Lolll
I have no doubt you could become a professional cartoon animator and drawer

That'll have to be a thing! ...One day!!
oh hey its omahdon
Hikarian Animations Yersh! :B
FadeIntoCase ahm a cat o:
Why isn't this popular? It's better than most tv shows today and the animation and voice acting is better too!
This looks like one of those 2000s animated show. I like it.
The emotions are so good,like just the animation of the faces are so good
This thing is now going to be a book- And a T.V. show. And an amazing fanbace- And a pain in the butt for you bc of all the asking for the next ep- Im hyped
This art is... *Sniffles* WONDERFULLY BEAUTIFUL! 😢😢😢😢😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
Zale's voice kinda reminds me off Rocket Dog's, somehow, just a tad more goofy and a less silly tone :b

That was so enchanting!! Really lovely!!
WoAH How DID yOu GEt HeRE?!
+colacatinthehat Ohh, hey nice animations yourself - subbed : )
Oh gosh! Well thank you very much that is very kind of you 8D Look forward to seeing more from you in future UwU

video casually slips into my youtube recommendations six years later.
9 years for me
At least it means you don't have to wait for the next upload :P
@@BerryGo.Same😂
This feels like a TV shows about that just got put on Netflix.
The world needs more Hikarian Animations. Fantastic work!
Man, it's great to see web animations with decent quality voice recordings. No popping, cracking, or buzzing to be found!
i love zale's ears and voice
Excellent work for an independent series! Great start, this has huge potential.

AND EXPLOSIONS!!! It's animated on 3's!! 3's!!! Well, most of the way...
This is Like a real Movie my mind is blown
What did you use to animate this? I’m going to be working on my own mini series
This is just completely amazing and fresh. I'm loving it a lot, the sound, music, and voice production is fantastic.
I'm so impressed by how much work you've put into this and how polished the final result is. Your attention to sound design, oft the most neglected aspect by many animators, is especially admirable. You should give Matthew, Ryan, Mack, and Nick a big pat on the back for their help in tying it all together. I really hope this project works out and gets the attention it deserves so you can keep making more large productions like it.
I love it! The movement, the backgrounds, the color, the characters, the voices, the story, and every. frikin. thing. this. thing. has. Love it.
I hope this gets a REAL series on Netflix or something it deserves it
This is 9 years old. We ain’t getting no netflix, but if it catches popularity then maybe on YB.
@@Wagyu42true, but it's still really good
Oooh! Cliff hanger! I am intrigued!
A vast improvement from the pilot, the amount of time to draw such fluid animation must of been extensive!
This series needs to gain some fucking traction. This is damn impressive for anything being on TH-cam.
This is absolutely amazing work!! I love it, Backgrounds are gorgeous. Animation is so smooth. Story so far seems good, great pacing, not too slow or too rushed. Even the voice acting has real quality :)
That animation...that voice acting...that music! So good!
Utterly charming.
Wonderful art-style/animation, and a refreshing tone for an internet cartoon.
The production value jump from the pilot to the first episode is insane; great job!
Oh my, this is wonderful animating, the animation is smooth, it has scenes that change beautifully, this is an inspiration!
I remember watching this when I was younger, its actually quite nostalgic now, and seeing the new videos its so amazing to see the level of improvement!
This is by far some of your best work, you've really outdone yourself with this animation, everything about it is so smooth!
The animation is so smooth so is the designs of the characters. The story is also amazing.
The art direction, animation, acting and everything else is highly professional. Incredible work.
So wonderful and I have no complaints again. I'll gladly wait for episode 2.
omg the voices and animation are so good. totaly worth the wait
Awesome, it's out! Looks and sounds great! Glad you're doing this again, looking forward to see where it goes.
OMG! The coulors! The characters! The shading! This is Amazing! Its just pity it isnt longer :3
This is WONDERFUL! The animation, the music, the characters... It's all so cute and charming!! I'm so glad I discovered this!
Voice actors and animation is AMAZING
This should be in a movie theatre!! Tremendous work!! •w•
That. was. AWESOME. Great job!
Even though this first entry is lovely and so very well done, Flickering Lights just blows it out of the water. Congratulations Sif!
That was gorgeous! I really dig the setting and tone. It's got a nice dash of whimsy to it and the low framerate didn't stop me from enjoying the performance. Love it! :D
Exactly one year (exact day) since this animation released. What happened to this idea?
+Jonathan Jones Wauv, time sure flies doesn't it? WELL WE'RE WORKING ON IT YA KNOW!
+Hikarian Animations I know right! Time just goes by quick! I'm looking forward to the next part for sure! Keep up the fantastic work!
+Jonathan Jones WOW! You voice act Springtrap and Bonnie from the Tony Crynight animations, I didn't expect you here. I'm one of your subscribers! Well... Anyways, have a nice day! ^_^
+Fay The Fawn Band Trash Thanks Fay.
+Jonathan Jones Just a random fan of your amazing voice acting! Cool to see u competing on something I guess? lol
My goodness, this came out ridiculously well. I'm so glad I'm subscribed to you, and I will do everything I can to spread this series.
This would be the best for a kids cartoon in my opinion
The artstyle of the background is amazing.
Underrated
This needs more publicity... I LOVE IT! You did amazing!!!!!! :D Time to share everywhere!!!!
Great job Sif!!! I really love this giant epic world you've created. Your colors cascade off the screen. So excited for more!
This is the kind of show that children will wait for every Saturday. Amazing job!
saw the 3rd episode most recently so of course I had to find the others. really cute so far!
Truly an amazing piece of work you've got here.
Also that cat at the end sounded just like Balthier from FF XII
All the voices were top notch and I'm so genuinely interested in this now
Lets go its a series
I love how the story plays along and the next thing is unpredictable! I love it
This was super lovely and it came out incredibly polished, HK! I really liked the sense of mystery and discovery in this world and I also noticed the little changes you put in your characters from your last pass on critique.
This makes me soooo happy and I can't wait to see more of this story :D
Glad you like it! Your critique helped me a bunch, thanks!
I spent hours looking for a good video like this (it was worth it💗💓) :D
I really enjoy the feeling of this!
This is great! You make wonderful animations and the Humans are gone thing is just so cool!
After seeing the latest episode, I'm impressed by how much you have improved.
I love the way you draw owls
this is so great! the voice audio quality makes it feel really professional. I really look forward to more!
This should be a movie! It's soo good!
truly amazing! this series is definitely one of my favourites already!!
The things you can find on TH-cam!! It's marvelous!!!!
I'm so excited to see this from when I watched it last time! It'll be fun to see where this goes and if a backstory goes along with it on how the humans vanished. And dangit I love this animation so much. It's so smooth and beautiful.
Wow this is so beautiful! and SO UNDERATED!!!!
This reminds me of a show that stopped getting updates and I love it

That animation... So amazing... ;A;
That voice-acting... So beautiful... ;w;
It feels like watching anime... ;o;
I love it! Indeed very clean audio. I also like how the chicken goes all tsundere on Zale at 5:04 ^^
Omahdon It makes me soo happy to hear your voice in this!! :D
THAT WAS AMAZING! Very well done, it got me very interested. This was an original idea, and I am really excited for the next one! Good job!
