Funny enough, when i stumbled across this video and saw it was only 2 weeks old, it had me really confused. I remember seeing this exact same animation on yt but as a14 yr old video.
people just cant let a unique animation be a unique animation and most people who say this werent even alive during the early 2000s its become like a buzzword almost
These things probably mean absolutely nothing, but I found them interesting: 1. The roach is on the album cover of the album of the song that's playing in the background 2. The woman is an OC, but also references female singer Aurora with her hair and clothes. 3. Based on character looks, and the man being named Michael, this could be a reference to Michael Sams, a kidnapper from the UK, which is also the country the band originated in, ontop of this, Samuels also kidnapped a young woman on the 9th, the same date as is on the poster. 4. The original song is by the paragons, with the last lines being 'I've got to get away from here' further adding to the idea of kidnapping. 5: 0:26 and 0:45 both show that a struggle already took place, with blood on the floor at 26, and at 45, you can see the silhouette of the bug man looking out where she was, implying he already kidnapped her and looked back to the scene. 6: There is a book called 'I have no mouth and I must scream' in which a woman is assaulted by a man in an elevator wearing all yellow. This causes her to fear yellow obsessively. Similarly, this is done almost all in tones of green with a man in an elevator. I'm probably looking way to much into a 2 minute animation, but those little ideas made it really interesting for me.
@@TheYellowKingHasturI think the main point could at least have done the creature the respect of calling them a beetle rather than a roach, which is pretty obvious to tell

Ngl the style reminds me of the canceled show "SCP: Confinement", i bet the OCs and the atmosphere you strived for would match perfectly the dark and ironic vibes of an SCP related show :) Apart for that, great work! Love it!
Mezzanine is such a good album from a phenomenal band... Love seeing them getting the recognition they deserve. Great animation, it fits the song perfectly!
The roach man gave me such a throwback to when I studied metamorphosis by franz Kafka. Quite a strange play but I get the feeling you’d like it if you haven’t read it already.
Good one! I personally subscribe to the idea that the man turned into a roach because they're one of the grosser insects out there imo. It would be kinda sad if he was a cool horned beetle instead and his family still rejected him :( but yeah, definitely getting those surreal kinda vibes!
@@zakaltan-euskaldunen_enjoyer i mean if anything the protagonist of this animation is thematically closer to samsa due to the explorations of profound societal alienation but i guess maybe "kafkaesque" is just when there is a bug
Advice on the smoking part, when you light a cig you gotta smoke it a bit for it to light up, so you put it in your mouth and then light it. If you do it like at 0:35 it won't light correctly.
yeah im smoking one right now so I was like wait it doesn't just do that- but it's good they don't smoke me picking it up was an accident even though I knew it was bad
I love that you went with a stag beetle motif in reference to the Mezanine album cover, this fits the music perfectly and will now always be in my mind when listening to the song!
this album is so so great, and this song fits your art style very well. you managed to capture the atmosphere of the song not only with the story told in the animation but with the colors used too. loved it!
I was high when watching this and thought it was really chill in the first half, right before you jumpscared me with the rest of it. I still liked it though.
Damn I was certain this was like an old ass late 2000's video that just randomly got recommended to me, the atmosphere of it is so weirdly nostalgic. Great work.
I can't express how much I love this ❤ I always like to imagine a mv while listening to this song but your work surpasses anything I could've ever imagined.
Lovely atmosphere, reminds me of stuff like Boogiepop Phantom, Texhnolyze and Serial Experiments Lain, this morose, sleepy, grayish-green vibe that's very strange and mysterious
The music and the gloominess in the air make this unsettling. My guess is that she became a bug too since that trail of smoke came from underneath. Edit: I looked up the song - Man Next Door by Massive Attack - and it's cover art is of a beetle too.
@@vilesleepy1221you put it in your mouth and slowly inhale while lighting it so you can get the embers burning, not just put the light to it and then put it into your mouth
This looks like it could have been some forgotten gem of a late 90s to early 2000s adult cartoon.

CRAZY
Omg I was just thinking this animation reminded me of Lacey games!!
This looks so "14 years ago" but it's only "2 weeks ago". This is gold.
It's like a canceled adult cartoon show from the early 2000s. Passed because the suits didn't felt it resonated with anyone
Funny because this animation reminds me of MTV Downtown
@HardrightBiGirl Definitely a mix of both.
I mean it did say "no smoking". Guess the neighbour got fed up with people not following that rule around the plex.
She's outside

If i was that boy id be viewed as the beetle man no matter what i did.
Absolutely awesome. I really love the old 90s MTV vibe and the style of the characters. Very eerie.
This character is so cute!! ❤ I know she's supposed to look all tired and sad but something about her is cute lol

Advice on the smoking part, when you light a cig you gotta smoke it a bit for it to light up, so you put it in your mouth and then light it. If you do it like at 0:35 it won't light correctly.
As a smoker, I immediately realized the author had never smoked a single cig.
@@Экзистенциальныйтоварищ I guess that's good.
Yeah, maybe it is, maybe it is

Yeah that’s how I light my hash holes, doesn’t work with cigs
this leaves a lot to interpret, i like it, its like watchin an animated album cover or something.
The most disturbing moment is 0:35. Only skinwalkers light up cigs this way.
I love that you went with a stag beetle motif in reference to the Mezanine album cover, this fits the music perfectly and will now always be in my mind when listening to the song!
Love her design! The entire style of the animation is so beautifully spooky, very well done, absolutely nailed it. 🖤

But does this have a vibe that you like?

Looks like something you’d see on Adult Swim late in the night. Beautiful. Please make more.
The music and the gloominess in the air make this unsettling.
My guess is that she became a bug too since that trail of smoke came from underneath.
