And The Raven Brought Fire: No Evil 002

KZbin is weird because sometimes you find amazing art projects buried in it’s annuals that defy explanation due to their quality and the fact they never went viral.

jon's point still holds though and i blame the memes community. i saw a video recently about how several good animators that usually do "memes" actually try to put effort into original animations but these dont get as many views as their usual low effort "meme" videos. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoOWZWuYitx-i5Y

I wonder if the fact that Huey hits his head on the rock when he falls effects his personality in the later parts? Since we are pretty sure that Corn being the last overtaken probably influenced his panicky nature.

I've been work-shopping this idea for a while now, since my current group has almost finished my first campaign.

[@staticfanatic5625]

selflesswarrior that’s awesome! You have to tell me how it is once you start lol, I’m really curious

[@DJfrog99]

Wow, glad I'm not the only one who had this idea when I first watched this episode. I think an ominous force of corruption like the Black Tezcatlipoca could make a wonderfully dark and mysterious campaign, and immediately after seeing this I spent like 30 minutes writing down ideas for a campaign inspired by it.

[@possumprince]

my campaign isn't based exactly on this but i definitely took aesthetic inspiration from it

[@scrimno]

I think this one will always be my favorite in the series. The battle between the gods and the Black Tezcatlipoca is essential to the overall plot, and how the land is almost overtaken by darkness forever but is saved at the last moment by the god's sacrifices. Also every time I hear Phil Ochs' rendition of "The Bells" I just get the chills. He did a great job going from uplifting to depressing then back to a happy ending, which this video utilized very well. It amazes me how Poe wrote such a thing that inspires emotions and imagery while maintaining rhythm and rhyme on the one subject of bells. Believe it or not, Ochs' song is a lot shorter than Poe's original poem.

[@dystopyxrose]

Rewatching this after watching through the series makes this even better. I love this series.

[@rainbowwolf4926]

ANOTHER NEW COMMENT I'M NOT ALONE ;D

[@bladeRoller]

Assumedly the dark trinkets that were bound to the monkey priests or monks whichever, disabled them. One was blinded, the other, mute, and the lute player, deafened. A sort of scar left by the dark beast. Which would be why the lute player was so sad, he could no longer hear their music. ALSO THIS IS BY FAR MY FAVOURITE MUSICAL ANIMATION. EVER. EV. ER. GREAT JOB.

[@gnaaaaaman]

Betsy, I keep meaning to tell you that my 8-month-old son is a huge fan of your work, particularly "And the Raven Brought Fire." I first stumbled across your work on Newgrounds a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it. When my son was born there were times when I was busy and needed to entertain him with something. I don't like the idea of plunking him down in front of just any old cartoon - I want the kid to grow up having some aesthetic refinement. So one day I decided to show him the Raven animation. He loved it from the first moment and watches it probably four to five times a week. In fact, now that he's older he actually starts bouncing up and down in excitement when your cartoons come on. He doesn't do that for any other non-Betsy Lee productions except one. So you've got yourself one more fan (two, if you count me). Thanks for the beautiful artwork and for introducing me to some off-the-beaten-path music!

I got the lyrics if anyone's interested. Quite different from the original POEm (See what I did there?), guess he had to change a lot to make it fit into the tune. Hear the sledges with the bells, silver bells. What a world of merriment, their melody foretells. How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle, in the icy air of night. All the heavens seem to twinkle with a crystalline delight. Keeping time, time, time with a sort of runic rhyme. From the tintinnabulation that so musically wells. From the bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells! Hear the mellow wedding bells, golden bells. What a world of happiness their harmony foretells. Through the balmy air of night, how they ring out their delight. Through the dances and the yells, and the rapture that impels. How it swells, how it dwells! Oh the future how it tells. From the swinging and the ringing of the molten golden bells, Of the bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, Of the rhyming and the chiming of the bells! Hear the loud alarum bells, brazen bells. What a tale of terror now, their turbulency tells! Much too horrified to speak, oh they can only shriek. For all the ears to know, how the danger ebbs and flows. Leaping higher, higher higher! With a desperate desire. In a clamorous appealing to the mercy of the fire. With the bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells. With the clamor and the clanging of the bells! Hear the tolling of the bells, iron bells! What a world of solemn thought their monody compels. For all the sound that floats, from the rust within our throats. And the people sit and groan, in their muffled monotone. And who tolling, tolling, tolling! Feel a glory in so rolling. From the throbbing and the sobbing of the melancholy bells. Of the bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, Of the moaning and the groaning of the bells. Hear the sledges with the bells, silver bells. What a world of merriment, their melody foretells. How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle, in the icy air at night. All the heavens seem to twinkle with a crystalline delight. Keeping time, time, time with a sort of runic rhyme. From the tintinnabulation that so musically wells. From the bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells!

[@titangirl161]

Wow- far cry from how long those last two verse really were, showing how the long time of despair easily swallow up any happiness- and the replay the first verse to lend a happy ending, as Poe's works were known to have dark and sad endings.

[@DerpyDaringDitzyDoo]

titangirl161 Yeah the last two verses especially were different. Then again I suppose if he kept them or most of the verses the way they were originally then this song would be much too long. Not to mention more depressing than most live audiences would probably care for x3

Years and years ago when I browsed youtube for animations, I saw this video from you and was instantly intrigued. I found you to be such an amazing animator and interesting artist. There wasn't a lot of "No Evil" back then. Years went by and I made a new youtube account and had lost this animation to the void of the internet. No one ever knew what I was talking about and I couldn't remember your name. I'm so extremely happy that you kept going on this project and while I currently cannot support you monetarily, I really adore your work and this series. "No Evil" finally got traction and I was able to find your youtube again. I nearly cried that I had found this exact video. I'm so happy to see this project continue. Bless you, your brother, and your team for the work you guys do. I just wanted to say that I love this series, the mythology you included into it and the work in the animation and characters.

See so, what gets me is... Amaroq was kind of a jerk in No Evil: Judgment, but here we see he was putting Huey ahead of himself to protect him from the black tezcatlipoca. But in Three For a Death and Conduct, everyone talks like he's some sort of villain. I don't think I've seen him do anything villain-y.

[@SugarGlider24]

JackBond1234 I think him saving Huey was kind of a team plan to escape the goo that fell short, not really a heroic sacrifice. As for the ill regard he gets from the others, well, the legendary spirit he is named for was most famous for killing humans.

[@SugarGlider24]

Oooooh.... Okay. Yeah I was thinking that if he got Huey up there, than Huey could pull him up. That would make sense...

[@TheDeceptiveMoss]

Yeah... And also you remember how he treated Kitty, when he saved her? I think the only reason he endangered himself to reach her was to see if she could use that machete.

[@titangirl161]

It mentions in the newest episode that, although (and this was mentioned before) spirits "don't work that way", he truly believed he was the guardian spirit for McCoy- which is why he really didn't like Huey. He was helping out in this thing because it benefited "his town" and him as well. I admit to not knowing everything either (I haven't gotten to read the comic yet) but they also mention him being mad at Kitty for some reason regarding fishing- most likely referring to a story about her and Amaroq

I can hear the song over and over again. And I love how they represent the "rules of no evil". Speak no evil, hear no evil, see no evil and do no evil. I´m flashed how deep the meaning of every single part of NO EVIL is. It´s worth to be shown on TV! THAT´S TALENT!!!

[@spacecorpse3212]

through all my years and travels thru different fandoms this has a special place in my heart I remember when I came out a long long time ago it was amazing it spurred me to create my own world

[@nyssarc146]

The first time I came back to rewatch this after finally understanding the _story_ of what I was watching was a transcendent experience

[@leemorrison7240]

Gets better each time I watch.

[@bplatinumpaladin]

Havent watched this series in quite sometime, even though subbed and notifs are on. So i decided to start rewatching from the start. Come a long way. Still as memorable as ever

+Betsie Lee this is one of the best videos I have ever seen. I love Edgar Allen Poe. Exellent

[@starshine_lue5823]

This has got to be one of my favorite episodes. 😍🥰 And I love the fact that the quality of the animation is still so amazing for every episode after this. It makes having to wait so long in between episodes so worth it. I always feel really sad though when I see corn get taken over though. He is my favorite.

[@soggypotato9067]

You are an AMAZING artist and animator

[@johannapyle-carter8223]

Damn that was good. I wasn’t expecting much from the second episode in but that animation, those faces, the SONG! Amazing. All of it.

[@RekEStore32]

I just watched the last animation you made for this and came back here. This really helps explain a lot of realationships between the characters, but it makes me wonder what all their ages are. I really like this series!

"A clamorous appealing to the mercy of the fire". WOW. That's some strong word-play there. Very evocative.

[@colorfulpig5016]

That’s the genius of Phil Ochs.

[@kitbloodk2842]

Help! Can't stop watching so good

[@jiffy-jef]

Oh my goodness, I love this series so much!!! Whenever a new episode comes out I always circle back to this ICONIC video and relive that magical moment that I first discovered No Evil.

[@ediestafford4697]

This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen!!!!!!

[@Angel_Kittichik]

It was nice coming back to this.

[@matthewyoung6263]

I will petition KZbin for multiple like buttons on videos just so I can like this more than once.

[@username-yc3bd]

I’ve no clue what this is but it looks nice and it’s getting people into Phil Ochs so I approve

Some thing tells me that spider will be important

[@annarchy200]

She. Is. The. First. Ever. SPIRIT! in one of the episode kitty says " when a shooting star lands in the webs of mama spider s spirit is born." And a sword is in her webs as well. It goes like this "in the webs of mama spider hides the blue tezcotlipoca, with which is cut the bonds of magic, thus cutting the black tezcotlipoca, but no human may touch it without fainting, and no spirit can be within its presence without being stunned by its magic, so the black tezcotlipoca was sealed away, till which the weilder of the blue tezcolipoca is found." I did my reaserch.

youtube has delivered unto me a gem and now I shall watch them all

[@DraconixWingforged]

I think I know why Huey is so silly all the time. I think he hit his head when he fell from that rock and became a bit crazy. But he's so funny crazy.

[@feliz5919]

He’s been “”crazy”” since before this happened, actually. (And yes, before anyone mentions it, I do know I’m 7 years late, don’t lose your knickers over it.)

[@graydragoon874]

sometimes i keep going back to this video, the animation and the music is just so good!

[@Gigi_V_K]

Me watching this the first time: yo this is lit what is going on 39 episodes later: Oh ok.

[@glassapple5903]

Dear lord the nostalgia. This was, like, one of the first KZbin series I ever watched, and got me into animation. Thank you for the memories ❤️

[@itshaitime2089]

I get goosebumps every time I watch this

[@timesnewlogan2032]

As soon as I heard the first pluck, I knew why this series reached my recommendations. I’ve been listening to this song obsessively since I found it a month or so ago!

[@dies200]

"The Bells" By Edgar Allan Poe Hm, sound very nice. But i didn't know that Mr Poe can sing, i thought he was an author... "The Bells" By Edgar Allan Poe as sung by Phil Ochs Oh
