The Animation that Broke the Newgrounds Portal

  • There she is is more than just an animation. It’s pure unbridled optimism, it’s the fluttery feeling you get when you think about your crush, it’s the sunlight that slowly pours into your bedroom on a Friday morning.
    How do I illustrate just how joyous and uplifting this nearly 20 year old internet cartoon is? What does it do to earn the bold title of greatest of all time on Newgrounds absolutely massive catalogue of iconic animations, next to the likes of internet culture titans like salad fingers, tankmen, and the madness series? You likely know those characters already but have seldom heard of the subject of todays video.
    To put it simply.. that’s not what I’m measuring here… yes it doesn’t have the same social impact that those
    Cartoons did… but the quality of its art… the rhythm and warmth that radiates from each frame of its gorgeous animation… and it's contrast to what people expected of Newgrounds at the time... it all culminates in something that even the most passive appreciator of the website simply must experience…

    This remains the absolute hidden gem of Newgrounds. A part of me wants it to be in fnf so that it gains massive popularity, but another part absolutely dreads the idea of what people will do to it if it does.

      Completely agree. It’s a beautiful series, but I think it just having a dedicated following of fans is also enough, too. I’ve been supporting SamBakZa on Patreon since the premiere of the new episode, and I don’t regret it.

    Also the reason why the Jjinta set (the gangster scruffy bunnies) eventually came to their side is because they are actually the sons of a rabbit and a lion aka "Cabbits". They are literally the product of the forbidden love Doki and Nabi are experiencing

    I absolutely adore There She Is. I ended up finding it by chance when marathoning Pico Day animations and watched Pico Day: Pathway Through NG. It had Pico travelling between different worlds of popular NG animations and even transforming into the same style, and guess which one of them he went into. That's right it was There She Is and that little segment alone had intrigued me enough to see what it was in the credits and from there on I'd watch all of There She Is and it became one of my favorite things on the entire internet. It's one of the few animations on Newgrounds that actually had a proper run and ending unlike most projects which just gave up and stopped. And it's just one of the most energetic, adorable and heartwarming creations on the website. I'm so glad to see someone finally talking about it and from my favorite guy too

    Just recently the "another step" was released. (it exists for quite some time but as i remember it was gated behind a kickstarter campaign or something alike) It gives background info to the other characters and rounds off the worldbuilding in a very rough way. Also: i don't think gay couples make sense as a comparison here, as the 2 characters are distinctly different, not alike. If i'd hat to wager a guess, i'd say its about korean/japanese couples, which were seen as highly problematic.

    Thank you so much for talking about this! Highly underrated classic that I hope catches fire again with the release of more episodes by SamBakZa. In the comments of "another step", they said they hope to create more stories of these characters in the future!
    btw, apparently, one of the writers of the story has personal experience with this as he is Korean and his wife is Japanese, and they've experienced similar persecution in Korea, where interracial dating was still looked down upon.

    I saw There She Is when I was a kid way back on Newgrounda, and I guess the story is pretty cliche but it hit me hard. My parents are different race from a time where mixed race relationships were still really rare, my grandparents were, as my mom put it "not very kind to him" and resented their marriage which eventually caused enough tension for them to divorce. I grew up in an area where I was the only kid with my family setup, so really struggled with being different and being bullied for it.
    There She Is hit me hard, made me understand more how difficult their relationship was, as well feeling relatable in my own mixed, gay relationship. It still makes me tear up even as an adult.

    Or maybe a classic modpack where you face of against classic NG characters like Dirge, Foamy, Snowball, Bitey, Larry, and Ofc DokixNabi:)
    Or maybe add them to the FNF Online mod where in the normal game modes, you are walking with GF along side with them and in Funked mode, Nabi is just walking with BF and there are alot of anti-CatxRabbit signs and also anti-HumanxDemon sign. And then the song transetions as Nabi gets a call from Doki and GF saying their moving away, until you get picked up by Il-Ho and his gang and you now have to rap battle with Nabi against Il-Ho while riding his bike as they sing the motif of the song from Final step.
