... I'm not proud that I have zero Japanese knowledge outside of subbed shows and a hand full of songs, and I immediately clocked the meaning and didn't think about it further. She is basically their version of God... brain just went "of course", and went about it's business. It is adorable though.
@@Victoria-dh9vb This opens actually a good question - what if Pip draws a villain Character? Would he also respect her and see's her as a god or would he still be evil?
It's one of many reasons I don't draw now.....hands are so hard. They're either blueberries or sticks....no inbetween. I absolutely HATE drawing them XD
Hmm... Let's See... A 2010s American Cartoon Girl A 2000s Disney-Inspired Princess A Naruto-like Anime Shinobi/Ninja A PG-13 Anime-Inspired Dating-Sim Detective And an Unfinished Original-Character Sketch Yeah, I'm already SOLD!!!
I think Giorgio can understand him, cuz hes from a visual novel, and they are usualy from japan and then translate to english, so him being biligual but only speaking in british, just because, is in character for him.
In my experience,First ocs are either basically the same person as their creator, they're what the creator wants to be,or they're the edgiest thing ever
I have a theory that Giorgio can actually understand Sousuke since he's from an anime dating sim. It was probably dubbed in English in the version Pip played, so Giorgio mainly speaks English, but can speak Japanese too. He never once said himself that he couldn't understand Sousuke, so I like to believe he just ignores him
I mean... he followed Sosuke's talk when he mentioned Promised Neverland and then Giorgio mentioned Hemsworth. I think he totally can understand him xD
For me I first thought she was being bullied for it (the water + mud being a bully throwing her sketchbook in the mud) maybe they also ripped out the page, but then that was debunked by the pup coming in covered in muck + paper pieces. Maybe what truly happened is he somehow got ahold of the sketchbook and tore out the page before Pip found it
For me, I think Pip has a dog and it got muddy, which explains why Lynn and Sosuke(I think that’s how you spell his name) are covered in water & mud and Pip’s dog could’ve ripped off the page
Love how all the characters have the distinct art styles of different media genres, yet look consistent enough to be in the same animation without it being visually awkward. Really cool
Ahh thank you so much!! That's something our team tried really hard to achieve - to make each character feel distinct to their genre while also feeling unified as a group. We really appreciate the kind words!! 😊
From growing up with princesses to watching cartoon network, then delving into anime and games, this pilot has cured my inner child in every way possible. What an amazing start to an incredible project in every aspect. The story, characters, music, concept, and animation is all so impressive. I can not wait for the next episode, keep up the amazing work!
Aww thank you so much for the very kind words, that seriously means so much!! 💕😭 As you can probably tell, that was absolutely our experience too of growing up with disney and cartoon network and then discovering anime and video games! So we're honestly so touched that everyone is connecting to these characters and story so closely as we really wanted to convey that unique feeling!
Man don't let this be only a pilot and gone... The original meta jokes, the very unique style, the adult and kid references, are all too good to be just left at being a pilot.
not really. I made an OC and she has a voice that's quite different from mine. OCs aren't ALWAYS self-inserts since I made a guy OC while I'm not a guy (and no, he's NOT my main OC's love interest)
Living in a Hellish world where one is a demon, another OC is a girl selling lemonade, and they have the same voice. Your parents have the same voice, your neighbors have the same voice. Also it should be called a character when it's not related to anything shouldn't it? OC is for when you get inspiration from a show or game or whatnot and make it to fit into said series.
that girl's art workflow is totally insane. What do you mean you just randomly fill out the color of that dude's hair and then go back to drawing lineart with no sketch underneath.
You know what I just realized…..OC kinda looks like the girl who created him. They have the same face shape and similar bangs. I feel like this is a bit of a wink-wink at how artists almost always look slightly like the characters they create, even when the characters are a different species or really stylized this still happens somehow:)
I like how Sousuke does not sing with the others because he doesn't speak English. I've seen so many where 'mute' are singing with others when they have no business doing so. Sousuke is just moving and posing with the others but mouth is kept shut. I love it.
I love that Giorgio carries a jazz theme with him. He’s my favorite already and the fact that he’s based in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney makes this so much better!!! I love him so much!!! Also, all the little motive changes in the score, especially with the Toy Story reference. This is pop-culture references done right!
8:05 Idk if this was actually intended, but I think it’s interesting that OC said “my first name!” rather than “my name!” I rename my original characters multiple times before finding something that sticks. Indie animation continues to impress me in every way!
@@Thetoy_man some of my OCs had several name spellings. Darillys AKA Daryllis Elek'tra AKA Elekt'ra But really I did'nt really make them to make OC's, usually I just have a weird name come up to me, but now I decided to use grounded names. I just had obsessions for Caucasus-related stuff, and now they're gone
@@Thetoy_man I mean my oc is literally from a world where names are super important in their meaning (and each person chooses their names) so as I grew up their name changed lol. As what was important to me changed too
@@RootOfAllEvil-666Well I mean once 3D animation became more popular on the west side, Disney princesses and most movies became 3D. So it makes sense because this princess is 2D and she doesn't want to just forgotten and have her animators make a 3rd princess that replaces her. Like 2D use to be everywhere but in big companies like Disney, 3rd became more popular so that's why they stick to that now. They even like replaced most of there 2D artist's with ones that work more with 3D from what I understand. I like both animation I'm just letting you know that the commentary on this show so far even references things happening in animation today. So it makes sense for her character to say things like this, especially if she and the others in a way have a fear of being replaced.
@@camilla6482 Man you didn’t need to type three paragraphs when you could have simply said “she’s a 2D princess and doesn’t like 3D animation”. Even so I already knew why she kept dissing Elsa I was just making a joke
@BearSmoothie I can type as much as I like. I didn't mean it in a rude way. And I have austuim so it was hard to tell if you were just kidding or the tone of the message. Because if you weren't joking the only thing I was doing was giving you information ^^ Haha
I agree. I stopped by my vape shop and was chatting with one of the guys who works there that I know is a big anime fan. I showed him the trailer and told him I'm going home to watch this. He was like he's gotta show his wife this and they probably have a new anime to start lol 🤣
I feel like this came out of nowhere, even though it's clearly been the works for years. For some reason it just wasn't being talked about on my side of the animation spectrum. Algorithm willing the actual pilot will change that.
Same! Found it like a month before this came out and was like ‘woah this looks good’ and then saw JOEY was voicing in it?? Hooked immediately. Not sure how this one fell through the cracks but now that it’s out I hope it blows up
Same, professional idie animation, I love the references to other series like adventure time, disney, anime, video games, etc. Is so good. This really shows how the life of your OCs is like
@@chocchipanimation if your reading this, I hope this series becomes the biggest idie animation series on TH-cam! Who knows, maybe you'll even make to the big streaming platforms! ^^
@@chocchipanimation I agree with their opinion on the quality. One amateur criticism I have is that the choice to make a musical was, interesting. However, the songs worked pretty decently for you. Splendid. I will find some way to put you in next year's Glitch X, despite my having no connections anywhere whatsoever.
This is such a creative idea. The character designs, the voice acting, and the references are great! My suspect is Albie, to be honest. She just keeps saying like “princesses are never murderers” and stuff, and her facial expressions are extra suspicious when she says those lines.
“As long as Pip continues to draw you, you’ll stay alive.” I think this is hinting that Pip is the ‘murderer’. Maybe she was bullied into abandoning OC. Hehe! This cartoon was a pleasant surprise and it brightened my mood. I can’t wait to see more. ^_^
Honestly, I think that's what happened. As an artist I know the feeling of being embarrassed of your cringy arts and OCS in elementary school and Middle school, so I can see why she would do it.
She absolutely got bullied. Bully probably ripped the page out of the book her(?)self, hence why Winn was wet (her page got dropped into a puddle) and why Sousuke had mud on him (his page got dropped in dirt/mud)
I thought the same too, and it's odd that none of the characters suspect the humans at all, but I don't know if the show will get that dark. We already know that the dog was probably involved due to having mud on its paws, so it would be weird (but not impossible) if both the dog and a bully were involved in the same incident. It's also possible that the answer is brighther: maybe Pip simply finished the drawing and gifted it to someone else.
definitely plausible, at some point during the beginning, she says “thanks for being my friends again today”, which might be implying that shes an outcast at school and that her drawings might be her only friends
Absolutely obsessed with this, the quality is insane. I love the voice acting, soundtrack, the concept EVERYTHING. This is going to be all I talk about for a while
@@jr_fluffyas another oc maker I can alternately confirm that I always bring them back via redesign bc I don’t have enough designed characters in my stories 🙏
I wonder if it was Pip herself who tore out the page because she was frustrated/dissatisfied with how OC looked? Also lol, no one wanted to admit they woke up first but one of them should have seen two others awake instead of one, which could narrow it down. Also love that no one understands Sousuke's dramatics 😂😂
I was thinking similar thing that that whoever woke up last would’ve seen the other 2 awake before them. Based on the conversation it seems that Albie woke up last or at least after Winn bc she asked “what do you mean you just woke up like this” she would’ve seen Winnie wake up if she was awake before Winn like Winn claimed. It could be that everyone is innocent bc maybe pip did it or the dog did it.
I realised that this animation has been working on for 2 YEARS. I hope Glitch will support it bc it has their specialty style of the story what my opinion is really good! AND THIS SERIES NEEDS MORE PEOPLE TO LOOK UP!
no problem I'm thinking about a bit of a big Network more than glitch Productions but okay glitch Productions is pretty good too play do you expect to wait months just for one new bloody episode
@@changsiah2 if this show wants to remain indie without having to sacrifice creative control, i doubt a big network would be the best option, cuz although it is not truly an adult cartoon, its probably not aimed at kids, and a lot of kid networks have the mindset that animation is for kids
I love how the video game character of the group is from a dating sim/visual novel instead of the usual run of the mill video game platformer/adventure game. Every other creator would've had the game character be a mario-like guy, or a sonic looking character, or maybe a zelda type character but NO, we got a dating sim guy! A real breath of fresh air for cartoon characters inspired by video games.
I know this show frames it specifically as a dating sim but I really want to bring visual novels justice 😭 Just know that's probably a more accurate term for his type of game (since he also seems to resemble an Ace Attorney character)
As an artist whom also creates a bunch of original characters, this was an absolute delight to see!!! It really adds a new perspective to the original beings that I’ve created. The art style is gorgeous, the songs were great, and the story is extremely well written. I am so excited to see how this series will progress.
This year really is the golden age of indie animation, huh... All the musical numbers, the fandom references, the character designs, voice acting... I can't even list all the things I love in this pilot! It's really clear how much true passion and talent was put into it, I and everyone else will be excitedly awaiting for everything that comes next!!
Everything we know suggests it's the dog, which is exactly why it can't be the dog... that's way too obvious. Don't know who else it could be, but I'm definitely looking forward to finding out.
My favorite detail is that while Giorgio seems upset that Pip might be drawing someone from a different game, Sousuke seems to feel positively of her drawing another anime character. He was probably hopeful that there would finally be someone who understands what he says
Which makes me wonder... why couldn't Giorgo understand Sousuke? There can be an argument that he was made in Japan and was just localized, especially if we consider that he's from a traditional console for video games rather than a compute or mobile, which further makes it believable that he's from japan
@@enigmatic2878And he also mentioned Edgeworth (or as the parody name was Ledgeworth) who is a character from Ace Attourney, a japanese game. Considering that he said that Ledgeworth is his bigest rival that could mean that they have the same demographic of viewers and Ace Attourney is pretty popular in Japan ofc. Also usually dating sims are created in Japan (they were inventet there i think)
@@enigmatic2878it could be the way the media was consumed by Pip. Assumedly there was probably just short audio bursts in the game he originated from like grunts and oh sounds. Which doesn’t necessarily need a language to be translated but the text was in english. Vs Sousuke where its mention specifically to have been watched in the japanese dub. So i think country of origin has less to do with their voices and more so the audio feed to pip for the characters.
Absolutely incredible work on this!! The sheer passion and love for animation truly shines through in every frame. ✨ I also very much agree with other comments as well, noting how well all the characters smoothly and naturally fit together, despite still maintaining their own unique-to-them artstyle and general appearance - really, that feat is nothing short of impressive. Also, I'm not sure how much of this was actually intended but to me Winn's design in particular looks like a harmonious blend between Ponyo and Finn Mertens, with some hints of Welcome to Hell's Sock (with the striped stockings), and Steven Universe's Spinel (particularly her past design). It's great! Honestly, excellent job to the entire team!! ⭐ Very much looking forward to future sketchbooks! 💖
This is so cool??? The artstyle changes for each characrer, the animation has so much life in it, the voice acting, THE SINGING? This NEEDS more views!
@ I’m into theatre so maybe that’s why. I think the dialogue would’ve been a bit boring and uninspired if it wasn’t in musical form. This way there’s two layers of interest, what is being said and how it’s being sung.
@@layotic884I think soske is maybe a combination of cloud in final fantasy (because of his sword) and Sasuke (from Naruto) and almond is supposed to be a combination of snow white and maybe Cinderella (because of the design) Edit: actually I think more like princess and the frog
@layotic884 Almond Blossom is referencing princesses from the Renaissance Era. She did say there isn’t any 2D princesses anymore because of the Ice Queen, clearly referencing Frozen as Disney’s first CGI princess movie
I can't NOT comment. It would be a disservice because the concept is too original, the art and animation too smooth, clean, and beautiful, the humor is spot-on (especially Sousuke and the language barrier despite him understanding English), the VA's are amazing, the songs are catchy, and it looks like a true show that absolutely should not be free on TH-cam. This is a triumph of Indie animation. Bravo!!!! I'm definitely following this. "Amazing work" doesn't even cover the praise it deserves.
Aaaa you're too kind!! Honestly so touched by your lovely and heartwarming comment, thank you so much!! 💖🥺 Your kind words and generous compliments really mean a lot, thank you so much for all the support!!
I love the detail that Alby takes the high notes and sings longer than everyone else, because she’s a princess and they tend to do that (and also she loves to hear herself)
The implications that only the most recent sketches come to life, but retain continuity of consciousness between them and fully die if she loses interest is truly more horrifying than toy immortality.
Wait, what? But Albie says "But I guess Pip didn't finish drawing you yet, did she?" How did he know Pip tried to draw OC and erased his hand? Did he know somehow? The others don't seem to question it? He's the first to brush it off?? Is this because he needs to flip a page (or two) from above him as Albie and Sousuke's pages are over his? Is his page under OCs? Is that how he knew - did he feel Pip erasing something through a page??? Idk man. Is this a continuity error or a really smart hint as to their page orders?
When he sang "this little girl who gave me life", I legitimately started tearing up. Amazing animation and references in the writing and character interactions! Also it was hilarious how all my fandoms were hit though. And the Boruto disses just keep on coming. XD
I found this randomly but I am OBSESSED! I love all your fun characters, colors, and I'm always a sucker for a good musical. I can't wait to see what is coming down the pipeline for you! No pressure though, take care of yourself. Art shouldn't have to come at the cost of your mental or physical health.
this whole concept is a love letter to artists' inspirations. it's really nice that indie animation has gotten to a point where a team of really passionate artists can produce something this high quality.
CANT WAITT and the references down to ace attorney. LIKE STOP CALLING US OUT as well as how tiana broke the bounderies, the toy joke right next to buzz and woody, TPC shade (valid season 2 flopped) and Boruto (forgetable) down to Winn being simular to Finn from adventure time. IM OBSESSED OKAY. I cant wait for episode 2. The play of words in the title as well is AMAZING!?! its quite literally the art of murder.
@@chocchipanimation OF COURSE!! Ahh hopefully I can watch episode 2 alot eariler instead of 3 days late T^T !! Can't wait though!!! Please keep up the good work, the animators and voice actors and everyone else who worked behind like the storyboarders generally have banded together to create something amazing!
This is so good! I especially love Giorgio. He gives me big Tamaki from OHSHC vibes, and I can't help but love a pathetic, narcissistic, blond drama queen. And on top of all that he's voiced by Joey Richter?? He's perfect! My little meow meow, my babygirl!
Idk the tamaki insp thing confused me a bit since he’s supposed to be from a game and think they went far enough for it to just come off as derivative imo. I can’t lie though, they really understood his posing and the way he’s drawn so credit where it’s due, he’s very expressive it’s great
This is so beautiful, from the references to the art and the voices! I hope with all my heart that this is turned into a series. Thank all you so much for making this a thing!
Dude if OC isn’t ok in the end I will cry lol. I’m emotionally attached to him in such a short time lol. LOVED all the references. This looks like it’s going to be such an amazing series, I can’t wait for the story to unfold!
a part of my morbid side wants them to have some degree of Omori freaky mind stuff since he is one limb, unfinished an colorless just implies something to me revive him dang it
My theory is that, even if OC is gone, the gang will somehow give Pip the courage to draw him again and he'll come back that way, but maybe with a different design or something. I'm very curious to see what actually happened to the sketchbook, and why OC's page was ripped in the first place (I don't actually think any of the main four did anything on purpose).
@@FigurativeCritter yeah am hoping the series does a large commentary on being an artist by having OC return but with Pips feelings an he processes that and perhaps the crew all reveal themselves to fully reasure her :3
12:20 I love how they’re all freaking out about OC plotting against them but he’s just innocently admiring Pip’s desk clutter OC’s so silly please protect him
This pilot is so unironically good I want to cry. Take a moment to look at OC. It's clear he has style influences from all the other characters. He really looks like a young kid's first OC in the best way. I love the way the characters are drawn in such a beautiful way with the tiniest of flaws, like a kid studying screenshots for hours.
Anyone else notice how all the characters hands, aside from wren, are drawn/ animated with 2 fingers usually touching? It’s such a small detail, but tells you so much! Drawing hands with 5 fingers is a lot harder than drawing a hand with 4 fingers (it’s why cartoons like looney tunes, simpsons, and old disney cartoons have only 4 fingers). A lot of artist who want to include all 5 fingers, but are still learning to properly draw hands like pip, will draw two fingers touching to simplify it. Idk if that was intentional, but I thought it was really cool just that small relatable detail along with all the other stuff.
Woohoo!!! Thank you so much Anohki and Nirali for having me be part of such a special project 🥺💖 playing Winn was one of the best times I’ve had and I hope we can do more together! 💖
Aaaa omg Megan thank you so much for your very sweet words!! 💖😭 The feelings are absolutely mutual - working with you is a true honour and you've brought Winn to life more perfectly than we could have ever imagined!! Here's to working together on many more episodes to come!! 🥰
My inner artist is relating hard and I'm sure many other people's are too Drawing your obsessions, not getting the hands right, the "how to draw" book off to the side It's perfect ✨
Weirdly can't relate because all I ever drew were OCs ever since my earliest recollection of fanart, and I only ever draw canon characters to interact with my OCs 😅
@@SkitsyCat I think of it more as creating one to begin with. Every creative I know has done that. I haven't drawn much in a while, but I did write a lot about mine, so I see it relating to both.
I thought it would be the dog... (The show prob wouldn't be that basic it would probably have to go through more to put up a show long enough but I think it would be logical for the dog to have ate it)
I mean I've scrapped a ton of OC's so Pip could have very well just ripped the page out of frustration Or the dog ate the page like everyone saying their dog ate their homework
Genuinely LOVEEE how you can sort of tell what style each character is derivative of while still molding in perfectly with the show!! Fell in love on spot omgg

to me it seems pretty obvious that OC wasn't killed, but thrown in the trash because Pip felt self conscious.

Maybe what truly happened is he somehow got ahold of the sketchbook and tore out the page before Pip found it
For me, I think Pip has a dog and it got muddy, which explains why Lynn and Sosuke(I think that’s how you spell his name) are covered in water & mud and Pip’s dog could’ve ripped off the page
Oh! That might be why Winn was covered in water - those were Pip’s tears that got on their drawing! “Liquid disappointment” indeed
Yeah. She prolly got made fun of (sketchbook thrown in the mud) then started crying. She then ripped out the page.

That’s so perfect that Pip and OC have the same voice actor because when you make an OC, they don’t have a voice other than your own! It’s perfect!!
Absolutely goated pick by the casting director (s) as well
not really.
I made an OC and she has a voice that's quite different from mine. OCs aren't ALWAYS self-inserts since I made a guy OC while I'm not a guy (and no, he's NOT my main OC's love interest)
I often fancast all of my OCs. But I usually voice them all in reality.
@@thecursedqueen9185that’s your imagination. No drawing has a voice.
Living in a Hellish world where one is a demon, another OC is a girl selling lemonade, and they have the same voice. Your parents have the same voice, your neighbors have the same voice.
Also it should be called a character when it's not related to anything shouldn't it? OC is for when you get inspiration from a show or game or whatnot and make it to fit into said series.
that girl's art workflow is totally insane. What do you mean you just randomly fill out the color of that dude's hair and then go back to drawing lineart with no sketch underneath.

Season 1 was so damn good thou
You know what I just realized…..OC kinda looks like the girl who created him. They have the same face shape and similar bangs. I feel like this is a bit of a wink-wink at how artists almost always look slightly like the characters they create, even when the characters are a different species or really stylized this still happens somehow:)
They also have the same voice actors :D
I like how Sousuke does not sing with the others because he doesn't speak English. I've seen so many where 'mute' are singing with others when they have no business doing so. Sousuke is just moving and posing with the others but mouth is kept shut. I love it.

He the Joey the anime man.
I guess it's also because Joey "The Anime Man" Bizinger who voices him doesn't sing much
Joey did say in his video that he will eventually « kinda » sing.
I mean, even if he was singing it would be in Japanese lol

8:05 Idk if this was actually intended, but I think it’s interesting that OC said “my first name!” rather than “my name!” I rename my original characters multiple times before finding something that sticks. Indie animation continues to impress me in every way!
I have a semi similar story as to how my first OC had 5 names before I settled, but also that all my others just had one

@@RootOfAllEvil-666Well I mean once 3D animation became more popular on the west side, Disney princesses and most movies became 3D. So it makes sense because this princess is 2D and she doesn't want to just forgotten and have her animators make a 3rd princess that replaces her.
Like 2D use to be everywhere but in big companies like Disney, 3rd became more popular so that's why they stick to that now. They even like replaced most of there 2D artist's with ones that work more with 3D from what I understand.
I like both animation I'm just letting you know that the commentary on this show so far even references things happening in animation today. So it makes sense for her character to say things like this, especially if she and the others in a way have a fear of being replaced.

this is probably THE MOST creative idea for a show I've ever seen
I agree. I stopped by my vape shop and was chatting with one of the guys who works there that I know is a big anime fan. I showed him the trailer and told him I'm going home to watch this. He was like he's gotta show his wife this and they probably have a new anime to start lol 🤣

@@chocchipanimation if your reading this, I hope this series becomes the biggest idie animation series on TH-cam! Who knows, maybe you'll even make to the big streaming platforms! ^^
@@chocchipanimation I agree with their opinion on the quality. One amateur criticism I have is that the choice to make a musical was, interesting. However, the songs worked pretty decently for you. Splendid. I will find some way to put you in next year's Glitch X, despite my having no connections anywhere whatsoever.
I’m so excited to see this! Please keep working on it!
This is such a creative idea. The character designs, the voice acting, and the references are great! My suspect is Albie, to be honest. She just keeps saying like “princesses are never murderers” and stuff, and her facial expressions are extra suspicious when she says those lines.
The production quality of this pilot is INSANE
Aaa thank you so much for the generous compliments!! It really means a lot!! 💖🥰
“As long as Pip continues to draw you, you’ll stay alive.”
I think this is hinting that Pip is the ‘murderer’. Maybe she was bullied into abandoning OC.
Hehe! This cartoon was a pleasant surprise and it brightened my mood. I can’t wait to see more. ^_^
Honestly, I think that's what happened.
As an artist I know the feeling of being embarrassed of your cringy arts and OCS in elementary school and Middle school, so I can see why she would do it.
OH MY GOD THIS WOULD BE A GREAT TWIST
She absolutely got bullied. Bully probably ripped the page out of the book her(?)self, hence why Winn was wet (her page got dropped into a puddle) and why Sousuke had mud on him (his page got dropped in dirt/mud)
I thought the same too, and it's odd that none of the characters suspect the humans at all, but I don't know if the show will get that dark. We already know that the dog was probably involved due to having mud on its paws, so it would be weird (but not impossible) if both the dog and a bully were involved in the same incident.
It's also possible that the answer is brighther: maybe Pip simply finished the drawing and gifted it to someone else.
Pip was bullied at school, after trying to show off her OC, which was ripped out. Then, the sketchbook was thrown in the mud.
That’s what I was thinking!!
definitely plausible, at some point during the beginning, she says “thanks for being my friends again today”, which might be implying that shes an outcast at school and that her drawings might be her only friends
I like this theory too!!
and the reason wipp was coverd in water is because her dog grabbed it from the mud and took it to her
Yeah I figured it was either bullies or maybe the dog, but I hope that it was just the dog. 😢
Absolutely obsessed with this, the quality is insane. I love the voice acting, soundtrack, the concept EVERYTHING. This is going to be all I talk about for a while
I can already tell that this "OC" guy is gonna be forgotten in an old textbook in a few years

@@jr_fluffy put them up for adoption save them
@@jr_fluffyas another oc maker I can alternately confirm that I always bring them back via redesign bc I don’t have enough designed characters in my stories 🙏
I wonder if it was Pip herself who tore out the page because she was frustrated/dissatisfied with how OC looked? Also lol, no one wanted to admit they woke up first but one of them should have seen two others awake instead of one, which could narrow it down. Also love that no one understands Sousuke's dramatics 😂😂
give me some intense OC trauma which ties into Pips emotions please
they can make up a reason as to how this can work shut up
@@senritsujumpsuit6021
I’d be down for this idea
I was thinking similar thing that that whoever woke up last would’ve seen the other 2 awake before them. Based on the conversation it seems that Albie woke up last or at least after Winn bc she asked “what do you mean you just woke up like this” she would’ve seen Winnie wake up if she was awake before Winn like Winn claimed. It could be that everyone is innocent bc maybe pip did it or the dog did it.
It could've been a bully at school. That'd explain why some of the characters are dirty.
Right? If I was one of them I’d just say who I saw when I woke up
Let’s see
A murder mystery
Different art style characters
AND ITS A MUSICAL

THEY DO I SWEAR MAN I SWEAR
Yes! And Monkey Wrench too!
no problem I'm thinking about a bit of a big Network more than glitch Productions but okay
glitch Productions is pretty good too play do you expect to wait months just for one new bloody episode
@@changsiah2 if this show wants to remain indie without having to sacrifice creative control, i doubt a big network would be the best option, cuz although it is not truly an adult cartoon, its probably not aimed at kids, and a lot of kid networks have the mindset that animation is for kids
This is my new fab series
I love how the video game character of the group is from a dating sim/visual novel instead of the usual run of the mill video game platformer/adventure game. Every other creator would've had the game character be a mario-like guy, or a sonic looking character, or maybe a zelda type character but NO, we got a dating sim guy! A real breath of fresh air for cartoon characters inspired by video games.
I know this show frames it specifically as a dating sim but I really want to bring visual novels justice 😭 Just know that's probably a more accurate term for his type of game (since he also seems to resemble an Ace Attorney character)
I do hope they introduce a Sonic-like character eventually, though
Maybe a character reminiscent of Link for that RPG style character
As an artist whom also creates a bunch of original characters, this was an absolute delight to see!!! It really adds a new perspective to the original beings that I’ve created. The art style is gorgeous, the songs were great, and the story is extremely well written. I am so excited to see how this series will progress.
Sousuke is already my favorite character. I loved him since the first time he speakead Japanese. He’s a healthier Sasuke and I love him for that
He's my favorite too. :3.
A better sasuke
Sousuke Joey Aizen.
Bousuke
Fr he’s one of my favorites as well, the whole reason I’m watching this
This year really is the golden age of indie animation, huh...

6:30 I love the "Ledgeworth" reference to Edgeworth from Ace Attorney🤣
Same!
Im convinced the dog did it. Sousuke was covered in mud and the water Winn was covered in could be drool. Also on the dog’s paws it looks like paper
Nope. Remember, the 'water' had a taste. Betting it was tears. She was bullied for her art thus resulting in OC's page being pulled out.
@@Hunter18ismdrool definitely has a taste too
I think she was bullied as well. She was smiling when she went to bed thr first night but in the second, she has a subtle frown.
Everything we know suggests it's the dog, which is exactly why it can't be the dog... that's way too obvious.
Don't know who else it could be, but I'm definitely looking forward to finding out.
@@Watermelon-Pizza Especially because the dog’s being investigated in episode 2. There’s no way there’s just 2 episodes.
My favorite detail is that while Giorgio seems upset that Pip might be drawing someone from a different game, Sousuke seems to feel positively of her drawing another anime character. He was probably hopeful that there would finally be someone who understands what he says
Which makes me wonder... why couldn't Giorgo understand Sousuke? There can be an argument that he was made in Japan and was just localized, especially if we consider that he's from a traditional console for video games rather than a compute or mobile, which further makes it believable that he's from japan
@@enigmatic2878it could be because they are fan art instead of the actual characters
@@enigmatic2878 plot twist: Giorgio does understand Sousuke, but he pretends not to because he finds doing so funny
@@enigmatic2878And he also mentioned Edgeworth (or as the parody name was Ledgeworth) who is a character from Ace Attourney, a japanese game. Considering that he said that Ledgeworth is his bigest rival that could mean that they have the same demographic of viewers and Ace Attourney is pretty popular in Japan ofc. Also usually dating sims are created in Japan (they were inventet there i think)
@@enigmatic2878it could be the way the media was consumed by Pip. Assumedly there was probably just short audio bursts in the game he originated from like grunts and oh sounds. Which doesn’t necessarily need a language to be translated but the text was in english. Vs Sousuke where its mention specifically to have been watched in the japanese dub. So i think country of origin has less to do with their voices and more so the audio feed to pip for the characters.
ONE MILLION! LET'S FREAKIN GO!!!!
Yeaa
all thanks to boruto
AAAA thank you so much for all the support!! 💖😭
Absolutely incredible work on this!! The sheer passion and love for animation truly shines through in every frame. ✨
I also very much agree with other comments as well, noting how well all the characters smoothly and naturally fit together, despite still maintaining their own unique-to-them artstyle and general appearance - really, that feat is nothing short of impressive.
Also, I'm not sure how much of this was actually intended but to me Winn's design in particular looks like a harmonious blend between Ponyo and Finn Mertens, with some hints of Welcome to Hell's Sock (with the striped stockings), and Steven Universe's Spinel (particularly her past design). It's great!
Honestly, excellent job to the entire team!! ⭐
Very much looking forward to future sketchbooks! 💖
This is so cool??? The artstyle changes for each characrer, the animation has so much life in it, the voice acting, THE SINGING? This NEEDS more views!
Dang... I didn't think I would ever see this username again (^^;)
I love the references, the different art styles and the fact that it’s a musical is the cherry on top.
The fact that it's a musical is why I find this series forgettable to me.
@ I’m into theatre so maybe that’s why. I think the dialogue would’ve been a bit boring and uninspired if it wasn’t in musical form. This way there’s two layers of interest, what is being said and how it’s being sung.

is sousuke supposed to be sasuke or naruto? cus im so confused, also which disney princess is almond blossom based off of
@@layotic884 Sousuke is based off of sasuke and I'm sure Albie is based off of Tiana from princess and the frog
@@layotic884I think soske is maybe a combination of cloud in final fantasy (because of his sword) and Sasuke (from Naruto) and almond is supposed to be a combination of snow white and maybe Cinderella (because of the design)
Edit: actually I think more like princess and the frog
@layotic884 Almond Blossom is referencing princesses from the Renaissance Era. She did say there isn’t any 2D princesses anymore because of the Ice Queen, clearly referencing Frozen as Disney’s first CGI princess movie
Winn resembles Finn design wise, charecte wise I'd say she's Pinkie Pie (MLP) many cupcake references and hyperactive personality
I can't NOT comment. It would be a disservice because the concept is too original, the art and animation too smooth, clean, and beautiful, the humor is spot-on (especially Sousuke and the language barrier despite him understanding English), the VA's are amazing, the songs are catchy, and it looks like a true show that absolutely should not be free on TH-cam.

No one will ever be able to understand Sousuke, no matter what language he speaks. 😂
The implications that only the most recent sketches come to life, but retain continuity of consciousness between them and fully die if she loses interest is truly more horrifying than toy immortality.
Dude seeing Joey/theanimeman voice act is so wild. He's really good at doing the edgy anime character voice for sosuke and great singer aswell!
For real. Watching him watch the trailer and clowning on himself is insane. He's actually very good. No wonder he got noticed despite not being a VA.

@@Aki-nh8cu ahh ok that's what I was guessing but I wasn't sure
Wait, what? But Albie says "But I guess Pip didn't finish drawing you yet, did she?" How did he know Pip tried to draw OC and erased his hand? Did he know somehow? The others don't seem to question it? He's the first to brush it off?? Is this because he needs to flip a page (or two) from above him as Albie and Sousuke's pages are over his? Is his page under OCs? Is that how he knew - did he feel Pip erasing something through a page??? Idk man. Is this a continuity error or a really smart hint as to their page orders?
When he sang "this little girl who gave me life", I legitimately started tearing up. Amazing animation and references in the writing and character interactions!
Also it was hilarious how all my fandoms were hit though. And the Boruto disses just keep on coming. XD

I found this randomly but I am OBSESSED! I love all your fun characters, colors, and I'm always a sucker for a good musical. I can't wait to see what is coming down the pipeline for you! No pressure though, take care of yourself. Art shouldn't have to come at the cost of your mental or physical health.
this whole concept is a love letter to artists' inspirations. it's really nice that indie animation has gotten to a point where a team of really passionate artists can produce something this high quality.

Idk the tamaki insp thing confused me a bit since he’s supposed to be from a game and think they went far enough for it to just come off as derivative imo. I can’t lie though, they really understood his posing and the way he’s drawn so credit where it’s due, he’s very expressive it’s great

....i do not think so...
a part of my morbid side wants them to have some degree of Omori freaky mind stuff since he is one limb, unfinished an colorless just implies something to me
revive him dang it
My theory is that, even if OC is gone, the gang will somehow give Pip the courage to draw him again and he'll come back that way, but maybe with a different design or something. I'm very curious to see what actually happened to the sketchbook, and why OC's page was ripped in the first place (I don't actually think any of the main four did anything on purpose).
@@FigurativeCritter yeah am hoping the series does a large commentary on being an artist by having OC return but with Pips feelings an he processes that and perhaps the crew all reveal themselves to fully reasure her :3

This pilot is so unironically good I want to cry. Take a moment to look at OC. It's clear he has style influences from all the other characters. He really looks like a young kid's first OC in the best way. I love the way the characters are drawn in such a beautiful way with the tiniest of flaws, like a kid studying screenshots for hours.
The Promised Neverland mention was not what I was expecting 😂
Love the Pilot! Keep up the good work you guys! Absolutely hooked

14:33 her face looks really suspecious
Anyone else notice how all the characters hands, aside from wren, are drawn/ animated with 2 fingers usually touching? It’s such a small detail, but tells you so much!
Drawing hands with 5 fingers is a lot harder than drawing a hand with 4 fingers (it’s why cartoons like looney tunes, simpsons, and old disney cartoons have only 4 fingers). A lot of artist who want to include all 5 fingers, but are still learning to properly draw hands like pip, will draw two fingers touching to simplify it.
Idk if that was intentional, but I thought it was really cool just that small relatable detail along with all the other stuff.
Woohoo!!! Thank you so much Anohki and Nirali for having me be part of such a special project 🥺💖 playing Winn was one of the best times I’ve had and I hope we can do more together! 💖
You did a fantastic job
You did a great job! Can’t wait to see more
You did an amazing job here! I can't wait for the full series, all of the characters and the story are so good!!!
Aaaa omg Megan thank you so much for your very sweet words!! 💖😭 The feelings are absolutely mutual - working with you is a true honour and you've brought Winn to life more perfectly than we could have ever imagined!! Here's to working together on many more episodes to come!! 🥰
HELPP NOT THE GIRL FROM MAKE IT POP U WERE MY CHILDHOOD WAITTT
My inner artist is relating hard and I'm sure many other people's are too
Drawing your obsessions, not getting the hands right, the "how to draw" book off to the side
It's perfect ✨
Exactly. Or writers, since I've had this more with writing.
Weirdly can't relate because all I ever drew were OCs ever since my earliest recollection of fanart, and I only ever draw canon characters to interact with my OCs 😅
@@SkitsyCat I think of it more as creating one to begin with. Every creative I know has done that. I haven't drawn much in a while, but I did write a lot about mine, so I see it relating to both.
i cant it with the references😭❤
16:15 THE SHADE ON BORUTO IS CRAAZY
I was wondering who caught a stray... Boruto or Sarada. Thanks for answering 😂
YES. I KNEW HE WAS A NARUTO REFERENCE HE LOOKS JUST LIKE SASUKE 😭
6:33 THE EDGEWORTH REFERENCE 😭
Has me rolling 😂
I SCREAMED I CAN'T
IM SCREAMING ITS SO FUNNY
WHAT I WAS SAYINGGG
It's FANTASTIC!
My prediction is that some bully destroyed the sckechbook or that Pip scrapped OC because of something like that.
I thought it would be the dog...
(The show prob wouldn't be that basic it would probably have to go through more to put up a show long enough but I think it would be logical for the dog to have ate it)
I had a similar idea!
Honestly, same thoughts
I mean I've scrapped a ton of OC's so Pip could have very well just ripped the page out of frustration
Or the dog ate the page like everyone saying their dog ate their homework
That's what I'm thinking as well. It'll probably go back to what inspired OC's design.
I love ittttt you're very good at this stuf!! We NEED a second episode pleaseeeeeee :D
I find it funny everyone can’t understand Sousuke but he can understand them
