@@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?
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
My first OC was a demonic wolf entity that came straight from hell... My first _human_ OC on the other hand was some fox girl that looked kinda like me so yeah this statement is true lol (even though I had made an actual self-insert OC not long after)
@lucasmatthiessen1570 While I get where you're coming from, it's possible to do both, lol (I have friends irl and characters I love 😛) Just depends on time and situation
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
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
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.
As much as I love this I highly doubt it will go anywhere at least with the way it currently is since while the concept is very fun and so are the references I think there is to many things that isn't the creators being used and at least one of those IPs are gonna smite this if it trys to go anywhere
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.
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 LOVE the detail that Pip's mother already knows without even LOOKING in her room that she's at her sketchbook. A true determined artist and a mom that knows her daughter's interests
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
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!! 😊
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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
I love how princess almond blossoms poster is an homage to the movie poster for a princess and the frog, which was the last Disney princess movie animated 2D
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 🤣
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!
I remember seeing the detective and going “Wow that looks like he’s Herlock Sholmes” only for him to just be an Ace Attorney reference which implies that he really was based on him was hilarious. Also The fact Ledgeworth is JUST Edgeworth 😭
@@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
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
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.
I'm proud to say that this will be my main inspiration for starting to draw fanart! I'm hoping that'll help me be able to find out my own art style, and create OC's of my own! Thank you so much, and this cinematic masterpiece deserves all the love and more!! Keep up the amazing work. I'm keeping an eye out for the new episodes!!!
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!!
“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.
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)
i'm already lovign this- the music- the characters- everything!! I love how they named him OC because he's an OC, it's so cute!! I love all of their designs!!
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 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’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.
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!
@@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 🙏
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.
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 genuinely love how this show introduces the idea of how the characters that we are obsessed with from entertainment mediums love and care for us JUST as much ❤ Means a lot to me - and a lot of people too, I bet
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?
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.
This is already such a masterpiece! I love all the references, the characters, the premisse... Everything's perfect!! As an artist myself, I couldn't be happier with the theme of this story, the way it was written. Can't wait for sketchbook 2!
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!
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.
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.
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
I can’t wait for more😊It’s like Disney, Adventure Time, Anime and otome reverse harem dating sim all rolled into one😁It really makes me wonder if all our favorite characters and original characters come to life when we’re not looking and do who knows what😊Anyway, this was a fun pilot episode, the music was fun to listen to and I can’t wait to find out what really happened to OC😊
@@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
This is the best animated pilot I've seen this year! The animation is incredibly well done, the characters are so fun to watch, and the ending just made things interesting! I really hope the show can be fully funded because there is a LOT of potential here!
Aww man thank you so much for your kind words, that really means so much!! 💖🙏 We definitely hope to be able to continue this series as well as we'd love to tell the AoM gang's whole story!
@@chocchipanimationthe only thing I would be upset about is that the quality is so high it would probably take 5 months until the next episode comes out but honestly it would be worth the wait and amazing series

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
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!! 🥰
This is why I love indie animation, I get to uncover so many unique and refreshing stories! For this one all I can say is well done and I hope you guys do more because I am already hooked!
Winn, Sousuke, Albie and Giorgio have such a lovable friendship, dynamic, that you can really tell that they’ve been friends for a very long time, even though they only exist as friends in Pip’s sketchbook, and I love how they accept OC as a new friend. And the fact Pip and OC have the same voice really reminds me of the fact that when you first create a character, sometimes you don’t exactly know what they sound like and the voice you have is oftentimes your own❤❤❤❤ little details like that just shows how much the series really does respect that part of artists😭😭😭😭
11:32 I like how this frames him as sneaking off, as though the others arent concerned with OCs presence, but then everyone joins him 10 seconds later. Also my favorite part of the song
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.
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
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.
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

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
to me it seems pretty obvious that OC wasn't killed, but thrown in the trash because Pip felt self conscious.
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
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.
Honestly I thought she just took OC to school to show off

I LOVE the detail that Pip's mother already knows without even LOOKING in her room that she's at her sketchbook. A true determined artist and a mom that knows her daughter's interests
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
This actually makes sense
he would tbh
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
This is canon to me now until proven otherwise
@@dra_aluxe OMG WAIT YOUR RIGHT :OOOO
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!! 😊
YES exactly this!! the chochip team absolutely nailed it

HOW MANY CHARACTERS HAVE I KILLED
How could you Annabeth. I thought of you as a sister, and now I find out that you are a MURDERER
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
couldn't be me! (forgets half about the OC's names and chanegs them evrytime I remenber them)
@@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

@@SunSh1neFN maybe she has good quality paper/pencils/erasers, the smudging is usually worse when using the cheap stuff
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.
Fr
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
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.
Yeah it makes me think of how many OCs i might have killed
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.

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.

RIGHT!? LIKE GIRL WHATS YOUR BEEF?
@@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.
15:33 too
@@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

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. 😢

“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.

i didn't realize it was gonna a musical, and when giorgio started singing i literally just got the biggest smile on my face
Same!!
Yes
Yes! Yeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaah
i'm already lovign this- the music- the characters- everything!! I love how they named him OC because he's an OC, it's so cute!! I love all of their designs!!
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
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
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!
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
6:28 😭 to say i was caught off guard would be an understatement, then the Ace Attorney reference afterrr-
IKR
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.
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!

Probably got frustrated by the other arm
Probably ripped off the page to show it to people or stick it to the fridge or something😮
Pip or bullies, water and mud show the sketchbook was thrown into the mud
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.
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.

@@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?

Oh hi random person I've DEFINITELY never seen before 😊
Love the Woody and Buzz figures in the background
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.
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.

@@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

@@adiamondtrash9344 Just like Murder Drones, it'll be worth the wait :)
@@nightmarionne2401 This is 2d 2d from whaat i know takes way more time then 3d btw murder drones had an entire team we dont know how many talented artists poured there souls into this one but indeed yes it will be worth the wait
@@adiamondtrash9344 Yeah! :D
I absolutely love this. The concept, the characters, the music/songs, it’s pure genius! Can you share how you did it all? I’m curious about the process because I may want to make my own indie pilot someday…
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
Oh my goodness! This comment! I can't even comment on this any more, but it's so sad and sweet...
8:55 I like the little Toy Story references and even playing you got a friend in me to finish the reference
Mhm nice little nod lol
Especially since the girl is talking about toys not being alive!
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
This is why I love indie animation, I get to uncover so many unique and refreshing stories!
For this one all I can say is well done and I hope you guys do more because I am already hooked!
This is...THE BEST!!
Now I wanna see a Japanese dub to see Sosuke speaking in English and everyone else is in Japanese 🤣
Fr😂
OMG sousuke will retconned as the AMERICAN DUBBED VERSION so it still works. The cast can be like, pip watches dubbed anime to learn English
THAT WOULD BE PERFECT
YES
No one will ever be able to understand Sousuke, no matter what language he speaks. 😂
Winn, Sousuke, Albie and Giorgio have such a lovable friendship, dynamic, that you can really tell that they’ve been friends for a very long time, even though they only exist as friends in Pip’s sketchbook, and I love how they accept OC as a new friend. And the fact Pip and OC have the same voice really reminds me of the fact that when you first create a character, sometimes you don’t exactly know what they sound like and the voice you have is oftentimes your own❤❤❤❤ little details like that just shows how much the series really does respect that part of artists😭😭😭😭
11:32 I like how this frames him as sneaking off, as though the others arent concerned with OCs presence, but then everyone joins him 10 seconds later. Also my favorite part of the song
This was so cute! I loved how the characters started to have a little existential crisis 😂
If it turns into a show I’ll 100% watch it
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.
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!
....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
They are so adorable I hope they aren’t permanently gone 😭
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.
13:02 I'm impressed they were able to remember the precise positions to return to haha
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 😭
Bosuke💀💀💀
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
19:15 will you make more of these kinds of songs? Will they be available on spotify or itunes?
YES PLEEEEEEASE!
FRRRR I NEED THIS ONE THE GO 😭😭😭
Would also love to know!
REAL OML I NEED THIS
I loved the music
