7 years ago I made a storyboard before I went to university, I was out of my depth, I didn't even know how to even start animating the project. It was always on the back of my mind and I swore that I would finish it one day. Graduating last year, armed with better art skills, I finally decided to dedicate time for the Koishi animation to close this chapter of my life. Thank you all for watching, and a very special thank you for the ones who were around for the original storyboard. Please consider supporting me on Patreon for a lot more animations! patreon.com/peargor?Link
I remember watching it 7 years ago, seeing it pop into my feed right now was WILD. I dropped everything and went straight to it. It's crazy to think about how much has changed since then. Good job on finishing it!
@@aralfonsoi LOVE that Wonderful series with all my heart because it oozes with raw amateurish dedication and love for what is being made. it's incredibly charming, way more so than almost any other touhou fan work i've ever seen. there is no concern with being seen as legitimate or cool by others, only the whims of a creator and what they think is cool
I think something really has to be said about the absolute artistic identity Touhou has that me - someone who has never played a single Touhou game was able to tell this was Touhou. First big clue was Koishi's character design, but the part at 1:16 made me 100% sure because it absolutely sounds like Touhou music does.
The animatic you had uploaded 6 years ago was how I discovered your channel, and every time I saw one of your artworks and/or animations I remembered it. Now, 6 years later, what a pleasant surprise it is that you actually went back and properly animated it, and with such a high quality as well! For that, you have my biggest respect! Well done!
"After 7 years in development hope it will have been worth the wait." "Yes." It wasn't clear that the girl was Sanae in the storyboard. Had a massive "Oh! Moment" immediately.
I have no idea what this is from but I'm just a little confused by the audio. The quality sounds off and the song feels so rushed I get short of breath xD.
For those who don’t understand the lore: She is a Satori Youkai that specializes in the mind arts(reading and speaking through mind) but Koishi is kinda born overpowered she unconsciously manipulate the unconscious mind making others forget about her… Fans just applied the psychological horror of going insane because she can’t make permanent bond with anyone.
I mean, you're close, but for additionally important context: Satori youkai, because of their extremely invasive powers (driven by that floating third eye that's attached to them), are hated by basically everyone. Koishi, unable to bear this, forcibly closed her third eye to get rid of her powers - this is why she now has power over the unconscious rather than conscious mind, but it also means that she's now entirely a being of unconscious - "no thoughts, head empty" in the most played-for-serious way.
Basically, in closing her third eye, Koishi is now unable to look into minds. Including her own. She's basically just vibing 24/7, and actually pretty happy like that. Byakuren, the Buddhist monk, is _extremely_ interested in her, since Koishi basically achieved "Emptiness" by herself. I really don't get all the headcanon grimdark stuff about her. I think it's just one fanfic that got extremely popular, there's really no support for it in the canon.
@@drpibisback7680 I don’t think forgetting the entire “closed her third eye” thing even qualifies as close to explaining Koishi, it’s pretty much what defines her whole character. Sounds like OP got their touhou lore off powerscaling lol
This is wrong She was a satori that could read minds, yes. But she sealed her third eye because she couldn't take it anymore. Being able to read minds is just too horrible and makes her hated. But by sealing her third eye, she essentially sealed her consciousness too; so she acts purely subconsciously. (So she can sometimes, but not always, have murderous tendencies because there's no consciousness to hold back any murderous or bad thoughts she subconsciously gets) This also meant that people will always subconsciously ignore her, even when she's clearly visible; effectively granting invisibility. Basically, before sealing her third eye, she could "see" everyone's mind. Now, she can't be "seen" by anyone's minds. Edit: what I meant by "murderous tendencies" is NOT that she literally likes murdering all the time. What I meant by that is, like everyone in the world, she sometimes gets these dark thoughts. Normally, that would be filtered by your consciousness saying "that's silly" or "that's bad" or "don't do that", but Koishi doesn't have that filter. So she has "murderous tendencies" because if she gets the idea "I feel like killing this guy" there's nothing in her brain that could stop her from doing that. That's not to say that she always kills people, as depicted in fanon. It's just very possible that she would kill people randomly, and fanon has taken that to an extreme level. Koishi is not a crazy mass murderer, she's essentially "no thoughts, head empty", and that can sometimes lead to her just killing whoever she feels like killing.
Seeing PEAR finish the Koishi animation the same year KKHTA emerges from its long hiatus to announce 9/9 feels like some kind of divine miracle. The dedication and effort in projects like this is why the Touhou community is so unbelievably great. Love it.
It's a damn masterpiece, Pear! The impressions are simply indescribable. Special thanks for the "Lost Remote" in the credits and for the post-credits scene with Satori and Koishi. As a koishi fan, I'm thrilled! Your work was worth every second of your time)
I mean, Pear's not the one that extended it. Lyrica live did these lyrics in her own video, which was used for the animatic and this version, and it was already this length there.
@anexplosion5436 Oh yeah that's why I said he used the original song's length. When I said Pear extended it, I meant he animated even more after where it ended in the original storyboard video
I can't imagine how good it must have felt for you to press that upload button. I remember finishing a two-year project somewhat recently and thinking THAT was a relief. Seven years? Man, time flies. I hope you consider animating more long-form stuff like this because your style is just so expressive and lively (while also being downright terrifying at the right moments). Keep up the great work!
Upon watching this, I feel like I’ve regained the spark I lost back then. The creative spark that clouded my mind and gave me happiness in myself. You inspired me so much over the years and you finally helped me overcome my motivation problems. This was a beautiful animation Pear, thank you for saving my life here.
the fact that this is finally here is so surreal. Seeing the finished project is just as unsettling as I was hoping it would be. Wonderful work, and it was well worth the wait!
Well worth the wait!!! Absolutely gorgeous work. You really brought the song and Lyrica Live's lyrics to life with your stunning poses and facial animations, and the animation is top-notch!
You captured Koishi´s story so darn well! glad you finally finished the project finally and that someone else shares the same love for this character as much as I do.
Beautiful, this is exactly what I’ve been waiting for. Your original video is what got me into Touhou and Koishi is my favorite character. I’m so happy to see this video completed all these years later.
It's here....After years, I can finally rest in peace Thank you Pear for this amazing animation.....Truly And I love the implication Sanae had Koishi as an imaginary friend. This is my headcanon now
AMAZING! YOU COOKED BROTHER! It's so amazing to finally see your project be finished (and the rest of the song animated too!) Bitter-sweet in way. I remember watching the story board! I saved it to my playlist and I will this too! Keep up the good work! You are an I spiraling and I love your art style!!
This is definitely one of the biggest things to be made in the global Touhou community when in comes to animation. Thank you so much for finishing this storyboard and sticking through it! This achievment is incredible!
Congratulation. The musical animation is excellent with huge passion amnd rewards. I barely know about Touhou Project, but this video is brillant of telling stories with zero dialogue. The music was giving huge impact that totally energetic and dark twist. Each scenes and shots were crafted beautiful in every details and presenting emtional stories so deep I can understand in big pictures since the beginning to the conclude.
this is what introduced me to your channel and by extension your art and it's crazy to finally see it finished!! fantastic stuff, i really love the bit at like 1:38 where she has that lighter hair color she had in 11. love this!!
"Worth the wait"? Yes, every single second, I could've waited 3 more years, and it still would've been worth it. Thank you for this amazing animation, your hard work really ahows, it's incredible!
I AM SO HAPPY! Thank you so much for ending up finishing it! Your original storyboard was such a huge inspiration in me learning to draw 4 years ago, I think if I never got recommended any of your videos I would have never found my huge passion to draw!
IT'S HERE HOLY CRAP! I don't remember at what point in the last seven years I started following your work because of the early storyboards, but this is better than i could have imagined! I am obsessed. I will be playing this another 20 times thank you very much
It's truly amazing. As a Touhou fan, I am really happy how this turned out. I love that many years passed, and now it's finally here to make history, and it's even better knowing that it can be something PEAR can remember of as something special. Also, congrats on finishing university! Hopefully you can fly very high! We are here excited for what's coming next on your journey! 3:41 - Also, very adorable
Stopped work for this, 0 regrets, what an incredible animation paired with a beautiful song/story. Thank you for working on this and I hope to see more from you in the future.
ITS HERE, this is so spectacular your original storyboard of this was one of the first things I came across when digging into the touhou fandom and now 3 ish years since I found it and I’m a big fan of touhou and it makes me so happy to see this done. Your community posts about it definitely keep me hyped for the full release. Great job man
I'd call this a magnum opus, but that'd be rather short-sighted. Still an absolute marvel of art and animation, this deserves to join the museum of legendary Touhou fanworks. The Lost Remote piano cover used for the credits also hit hard because Lost Remote is probably my favorite Touhou song.
I've been trying to think of a way to say I love this animation and can see the 7 years you put into this gem, but I couldn't think of one because I've been too distracted by how good this is. Absolute Peak!
Finally, sooo much time... And yet it was worth the wait there's a special talent that no a lot of people are aware of and yet it is so important, the hability to finish stuff... thanks PEAR, this is actually a huge inspiration to finish my own progects too :)
3:20 Yo, that's me, I supported this! I alread loved the cover by Lyrica Live, especially the lyrics with their double meanings. I teared up at how you were not only able to capture the intent of the song but elevate it to another level, this is amazing!
yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes. Awesome. ive been wanting to see a completed version for years and i have been hyped frothing at the mouth waiting day by day since the announcement of the resuming of the project. Thank you thank you thank you. It is wonderful. Great work. Proud of you. this is awesome. thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!!!
OH MY GOD! The first video I've ever seen of you was the storyboard, and it made me subscribe to see the end of it! After so many years, I honestly never thought I'd see it be made and yet here we are. Amazing work! I hope to see more of you!
Beautiful animation that really captures both sides of Koishi’s character, the sad but hopeful little girl and the unsettling, slightly violent youkai. Thanks for all the work you put into this!
GOD it feels like i'm rewatching this again for the first time. I was new to touhou and was lowkey obsessed with the storyboard draft you put out. it was really cute and i genuinely thought you dropped this project
Its been seven years!? Fells a bit like last week in a way when I first came across the original story board. Excellent work here! Very much appreciate the use of frame by frame, and the water coloresque backgrounds blend very well with the heavy line work of your characters. The use of colors and lighting make every scene impactful and there are so many small details that are being worked in too. I hope that you are as satisfied with your work as I am because you did an exquisite job! Thank you for making and finishing this! (=◠ω◠=)👌

Making a project youve been wanting to make for years must be so relaxing
Is this the entire project or are you making a whole movie about Koishi and her friend that's going to come out tomorrow?
I noticed there’s usually like two depictions of Koishi
• Innocent dummy
• Borderline psychopath
Pretty much ya
Same with Flan, lol
you can blame kkhta and ulil for the psychopath depiction
@@Autumnityyyy I hate that slop series so much. Completely ruined the fanon perception of so many characters.

I saw the OG one from way back, and always told myself.
"Just wait."
And here we are now.
I'm glad I waited.
Мы этого ждали и наконец дождались!
It's finally here!!!!
I love how you animated the faces btw, it's so cute!
SOUND THE ALARMS, IT'S FINALLY HERE LETSSS GOOOO🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏🙏🙏
Its been seven years!? Fells a bit like last week in a way when I first came across the original story board.
Excellent work here! Very much appreciate the use of frame by frame, and the water coloresque backgrounds blend very well with the heavy line work of your characters.
The use of colors and lighting make every scene impactful and there are so many small details that are being worked in too.
I hope that you are as satisfied with your work as I am because you did an exquisite job!
Thank you for making and finishing this!
