Wow, this was 18 minutes of awesomeness. I just love the concept of a black gladiator. Its gonna be up there with Django and Yasuke. The setting, the Colosseum, the statue heads, the market scene, the palace...simply amazing. Very inspiring seeing this. Thumbs to everyone at Spoof Animation Studios that made this happen. Must be so cathartic seeing it all pieced together. Cant wait to see more of Ajaka
This is nothing short of first class 2D animation and storytelling.
This has a potential of creating a Nigerian kinda anime. I look forward to episode 2
What you say is very true, only issue the animation industry in Nigeria is super neglected, no public or private support
I'd like to know just what kind of slavers captured a lightning shooting, super powered, flying king.
And better still what set of conditions kept him from flying of to his freedom.
Welldone guys, eps 2, can't wait.
This is on the same level as Blood of Zeus!!
I just checked out the first video you uploaded 7 years ago and the improvement to get to this level is mind blowing. I hope to see you on Netflix one day 🙏🏾
Oya naaaaaaa Nigeria we rule ooooooo🥰😆
This has a lot of potential. I'm sure if fully funded this could be a big hit worldwide. Good stuff.
May God bless every talents and creatives on this work. This is a legacy properly laid and encouragement for us all.
That was on point!!!! AJAKA!!!!!
I found out about this a few months ago now and holy crap, this first installment definitely lives up to the hype!!
The animation is fluid, the voice acting is superb, and the characters are easy to engage with. I'm a little confused with Ajaka's godly ties, but I'm sure that will clear up in future episodes. You've done amazingly well with this project, @SpoofAnimation, I only hope you find a way to 1-up yourselves as time goes forward!
Cinema 📽️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Beautiful work❤❤, interesting story, waiting for more🔥🔥🔥
lots of love from south sudan
Like seeing Black version of kratos and also the marks on his face similar Naruto signature Worcester man I really hope this get picked up game movie hell even anime I really want to see how this go down
The story, the animation, the voice acting, the direction. Everything in this film is just top notch. I want more!!!!
Amazing, I love the storytelling. The animation , the story, the voice acting is top notch
Happy to come across this quality animation that displays the excellency of Yorùbá culture.
😶😯 *Wooow, this was AMAZING!!!* 😃🙌🏾 Great work to everyone involved ✊🏾 You all definitely have a bright future! 💎✨️💙✌🏾🎨⛅️
I liked the direction, animation and story. just some problems with the compositions and there is some inconsistency in the drawings and colors, I think it is a work done with limited resources and some animators with little experience I really hope that in the coming years, God willing, they will improve more and more!
I don't know bro, the drawings look consistent to me
@@joycraftanimationvery consistent
Bravo! Bravo!! Bravo!!! 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾
Oya, Where's the rest of it? 😅😅😅 👀
Lit🔥🔥
Metozee Universe here am in full support our 3d animation will arrive soon let’s make Nigeria Great 🇳🇬
This is great work! I love it! The sound design is really dope and the fight scenes are really INTENSE! Kudos to the Spoof Animation team!
This is a world class masterpiece, I enjoyed every bit of it from the fight sequence to the story plots, soundtracks and effects. Like I want to see the end of the story. Great work guys 👍
Make una no whine us ooooo!!!! E no go funny if season 1 no finish. This just episode 1 bah???
Just because...the sharing of links from this video will be loud. So please don't dull us 😩😩😩. It was so good I forgot it was 18mins. Even if the next one is 10mins we'll take it abeg. #NOTIFICATION ON!!!
Ajaka: Lost in Rome is a series that has much potential. I can easily imagine movies, comics and video games spunoff this idea. Good luck guys!!
This is amazing! I love the story and the voicing is great!
I couldn't envision Yoruba mythology properly depicted in an entertaining way until now. I've played with ideas using SHONGO as the hero but I never finish. Congratulations! This was inspiring. Some criticism: The art is rough. The character models are inconsistent. And the animation is stiff. Shot compositions need a little work as well. But all that doesn't matter when the action kicks in. The action IS the story. HOLY SHIT! Great job! There's a term for that when talking about ANIME, it's called SAKUGA. There's also real emotion and good pacing to the actual story. The sum of it's parts overshadows it's flaws. I want to know more about AJAKA. Moreover, having AJAKA be a slave gladiator gives the story scope. We get to hang out in ROME and OYO. It also makes it more accessible to an international audience. And the pacing is great. Nothing overstays its welcome. I also love the SPARTACUS and GLADIATOR vibes. Especially in the credits. New sub.
Wow!!!!! This is epic!!!!!
Seriously, words can not express how happy I am about this!
Can't wait for the next episode.
Great Voice Acting and the action was fluid
🔥🔥🔥 Amazing work of art! Incredible background art, superb fight choreography, sound design on point, voice actors at their A-game, with excellent vfx... I'm deeply inspired by this animated video. I hope the Àjàká project gets all the funding it needs to expand the story even further. Great job, Spoof Animation! 🎉 🥂
This is amazing i from oyo ooooo.😅😅😅
Awesome story telling! Great fight sequences, high quality sound and overall great teamwork. I enjoyed this and look forward to seeing more!
As usual Spoof killing it with Great 2d animation, Apt storytelling and magnificent environment art.. Beautiful!!!
Shoutout to my friends and fam @spoof on this one, y'all making 9ja proud
Believe 🌍❤️
Brilliant piece of work. This holds a lot of promise.
This is a masterpiece
This cinematic experience is🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Beautiful
Nice I really enjoyed every second of the animation
Lit🔥🔥🔥👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
oh im fuggin wit this🤔 this has alot of potential🔥my dumbass sitting here already lookiing for the next episode😅 i absolutely love this truly amazing please keep it coming🔥🔥 i love my black ppl💓💓🔥🔥🔥🔥👌🏾👍🏾💯💯💯💯THIS IS TOP TIER!🔥
In my opinion, it has done better than any other animation from Nigeria, but it needs better voice acting. I believe it would get better tho. I also think the world design of the oyo market place needs to br fixed a little and the entrance too. Ancient oyo town had walls and statues. I also think the swords that they wield should be the yoruba sword ida , or cutlass or agendengbe. And the axe should be like the one sango actually has. Overall I give this 7/10
Wow this is amazing, I love it it's beyond comment it's superb and I'm thirsty for more ❤❤❤❤❤, and this is made in Nigeria🎉, I love the story , the art and the Animation, everything is marvelous, I really want to see more... keep it up Spoof Animation🎉🎉❤
Those backgrounds>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
This was a good first step for a start up indie company. I hope the quality improves a bit, but as a first step.this was awesome. Storywisr i dont know how I feel.about you turning an African king into a Roman slave, just doesnt feel right. I think the story would have been better focused on Oyo and the surrounding regions. Anyway i still look forward to the other episodes. Kerp up the good work infie xompanies like yours are the way forward for African centred stories to finally be told.
Chai. I pray greatness for these guys. Awesome animation. I forget yoruba folklore is as rich as Greek mythology
Thanks for watching
This is amazing work. We should create a theme around this just as the Norse and Greek mythology. That's what the world will recognize.
I love every bit of this art, the voice acting, the dialogues, easter eggs, suspense it was so so fun to watch, I hope there's an episode 2.
Nooooo !! You can’t do this. You just can’t do this… we need the full season
Doope ❤❤
I am speechless and short of words I love everything about this clip makes me proud of been a Nigerian I can't wait for the continuation ❤
Ajaka is a superb production. Kudos to the producers and the team. A side note, in Oyo, the princes and princesses have their own special tribal marks. Its called Abaja Omooba. Its usually 6 horizontal liines on each sides (two sets of 3 horizontal marks per cheek). Some also add a baamu across the nose to the chin.
Thank you for your insight ☺️🙏🏼
We will take notes when we make subsequent arcs ❤
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
by the way, the accents of the chiefs in Àjàká's courts are heavily stylised versions of Yorùbá speak. nobody Yorùbá speaks like that. in fact, it's a hold out from a memorable accent created by a character on Village Headmaster four decades ago. please, get actors that are willing to do the leg work with real accents of which the Ọ̀yọ́ have a distinct variant.
i love this work. Àjàká is the brother most worthy of inspection because his story is more dramatic. thank you for seeing that
A beautiful and brilliantly crafted pilot. Cant wait to see how this grows into something more.
Wow….absolutely excellent!
Beautiful work of art and it will only get better. Well done guys!
❤🎉 amazing 💯 for you guy especially for the animator Collins my guy 👍
Been waiting weeks for this and it was worth the wait , 🔥🔥🔥
This joint was fire. Excellent action. I'm a bit confused on how Ajaka made it to Rome and why he is a slave considering his obvious powers but I am interested in seeing more.
I love this!!! I love seeing our stories told!! Ase!
This is amazing I won't lie Nigeria animation is getting more advance but needed more funds kudos to you all and keep it up guys
Rich! This is awesome 👍🙏
Nice one
I love the color of thus animation 🥹🥹
I'll be depressed forever if I don't watch the remaining episodes
I'm invested ❤🎉
Great work 👏🏾👏🏾
This is so awesome. The animation, the voice over so well thought after
Oh imma need more of that! 🔥🔥🔥
This was AMAZING! Left me wanting more. Can't wait to see the rest of the series. 100% would watch more. (Just not with the kids, just a bit much gore)
This is so amazing.
This animation is really great! It has cool backgrounds, great fight scenes, and nice sound, and the voice actors are really good. It also has awesome special effects. I hope the Àjàká project gets the money to make more of the story. Good job, Spoof Animation!
