Fan-made Animation-Pt.1 | 3 mins to know about Teyvat's Secret History: Before Sun & Moon

[@efrainlagunas]

This is an instant classic. It may be too much to ask, but if this could be done for all of Genshin's lore books and such, it would be highly welcomed, and I would recommend many to watch.

[@eisflamme2438]

ooh a teyvat history video series! 🤩 i woud watch that!

[@Sacration]

Would be great indeed but too much work

[@Megumi.-.]

Oooh good idea! I am going to make a couple videos like this!

[@muddassirismail]

The dandelion sea book will be amazing as an animated adaptation.

[@eisflamme2438]

@@muddassirismail Yes, i love this story! It has so much Potential for future books or to appear in game

[@dorisnov]

This is amazing. Animation really helps to understand and visualize what's being told, especially for those who's first language is not english.

[@persnicketyVC]

My first language is English I am just absolutely stupid 6 days a week

[@BuluhTerbang]

Always think your voice is perfect for storytelling and streaming. So, this animation paired with your narration is a nice surprise gift! Thanks to everyone working on this animation 🙏 perfect and fun summary visualization of Tevyat history!

[@Gabriel-l]

Agreed. Ashikai should do audiobooks.

[@Syiepherze]

Do cmiiw but I think Ashikai also drew this whole thing??

[@reylt4676]

@@Syiepherze she didn’t draw it, the artist is going unnamed because of a contract

[@FromTheRiverToTheSea]

The production is insane, this is a beautiful retelling

[@lebronjames464]

YES! I ALWAYS SAID THAT YOU'VE GOT THE VOICE OF A VOICE ACTOR AND NOW TO HEAR YOU NARRATING SUCH A BEAUTIFUL ANIMATION BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES!! BRAVO ASH!!

[@YuzaruKisekiKokoro]

honestly wish the game would have voicelines of the traveler reading these books to us sometimes

[@jas5424]

I'd actually pay attention to the books if they did

[@ray_on_crack]

Wait Ahikai is making animation stories now? I'm all up for it! This was amazing!

[@Zarozian]

My Ashikai can't be this broad of a polymath . -.

[@kiyomi_kamimoto]

This is, SO WELL-MADE. I'd love for Genshin to dive more into this important lore... The drawings are gorgeous, and your voice feels absolutely perfect for voice over !!

[@jojolaivas3532]

That was absolutely incredible. If I had the money, I'd legitimately fund a whole series of fanmade animations of Genshin lore like this myself, it's THAT awesome. And your narration voice is fantastic!!

[@BanjoGate]

Oh heck yeah, finally a sponsorship! YOU ARE FINALLY RECOGNIZED FOR YOUR INCREDIBLE WORK! Hopefully the first of a great many sponsored videos from you and Genshin

[@Boomdizzle99]

Please make this a series Ashi!!! This deserves so many views!!! Lets share it everyone!!! LETS GOOOO

[@KurtacusRex]

at first i wasn't impressed with enkanomiyas story, the ritual quest thing. BUT MAN the story of that places atmosphere was killer. Great work representing that in this video! excellent job nailing the tone of the events and story with voice and video!

[@merlinm.4387]

I keep getting this video as an ad. It took me by surprise when I was at work listening to music and all of a sudden an ad plays that was just genshin lore

[@b4u4ever26]

it’s nice from you to make this video for the people who didn’t read the book . so thank you for your effort ❤

[@Cinnamowo]

Seeing this made me remember how I really wanted to have something like this in the game :( Genshin has such a great lore, but it's so painful to read. Had to skip entire quest lines in Inazuma because of how long they were going around, and after Scara quest I really regret that, because I didn't pay attention to Tatara Tales or some other wall of texts

[@TheJH1015]

Omg your voice is perfect for this, I loved it! And the art and animation are amazing too!

[@deathsinger969]

I love the little details, for example the three moons in the sky, changing to just one like the three moon sisters

[@joaofaria7404]

Loremaster and animator? Awesome! Art style and coloring really helps to give that "origins" vibe. Also great work with the music syncronization. A friendly sugestion would be to reduce a bit the tittle of the video, since it's a bit big/redundant. What you think of just "Teyvat Secret Story - part 1"? It already gives the whole message and it combos with the tumbnail.

[@alexanderericson8628]

Wow you can voice act too incredible and gorgeous thank you so much for everything you do for the community

[@researts]

it's like listening to a tedtalk animated video about genshin, thank you so much for this and kudos to the animator/s 💕

[@oomar4553]

Wait this is so cool what???!!

[@somethingsomethingweirdo]

Thank you so much. As someone who struggles with reading sometimes. Visual storytelling like this helps so much

[@shelzor]

I've always wanted you to make animations in your videos! This is far better than what I expected hahaha

[@wallace788]

Looking forward to the next animations! The music, the pictures, the narration, everything was on point! Well done!

[@penny9501]

THIS IS SO COOL i hope this will reach more people in the community

[@chigo999]

the 'part 1' really does put a smile on my face :)

[@SomeoneSayOri]

Time is green and Space is blue. Now where have I seen that before...

[@tarunraina3247]

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC ASHIKAI! This was really enjoying to watch. Lets hope we get some Origin of Teyvat crumbs in 3.5

[@uribove]

This legit sounds like "adult Ashikai" hahah a deeper more mysterious sounding version of your voice. I kinda love it haha Also AMAZING storytelling and animation

[@huskieboi458]

Purely magnificent for me to understand the History with a limited time to play. Thank you! Hats Off!

[@dquade]

I came here because it showed up as an ad. This is really cool!

[@lets-all-love-lain]

This is so good!! Finally a way to explain deep genshin lore to not genshin lore folks!!

[@DainMon]

Ohhhhhh my GOD I love it, thank you for the sweet 3 minutes

[@MazeofL]

Is there a way we can support this project? I'd love to see more of it. I am done spending money in Genshin after the end-game drama, but I do love the game and if I were to support it again I'd rather support creators like you that makes the lore of this game so much more enjoyable and easy to grasp. Please let us know if you have plans to keep making these and how we can support you. I am all for it. Thanks for your hard work Ash. Much love

[@Klayasae]

I got legit chills! This was so good! Omg I'm gonna gush about this all day!

[@mmmgi6763]

I hope there will be more than 3 vids like this. I love lore bits but I do not have time to read genshin books. I'd love to make this a playlist to fall asleep to. Gr8 vid

[@Ososkkisksksmssmsmssmssms]

The visualisation really helps you understand it more!

[@SiliconOneFour]

Absolutely stunning video, I look forward to more animations!!

[@joshhaworth2155]

Our favorite lore geek has been sponsored by the game she loves so much. Serious goals tbh.

[@davidskep]

This animation is so good and your narration voice is great

[@johnb1145]

Tsk tsk, that's some forbidden knowledge you're spreading there, Yanfei *targets a nail at Liyue*.

[@Goodman._]

It's such a amazing experience you offered to us. Cool animation and perfect voice, I have always thought you have this capability in you. Hope you can voice someone in the game someday.

[@NRT338]

I just got this video as an ad, well played Ashikai, great work as always !

[@shakoro_rezz3713]

Oh my Goodness! I was paralyzed while I was just listening. This is wonderful!

[@dasytaylor]

Aaah you did so well with the narration! Such a lovely, calming voice, you sound ethereal in this!

[@TheAngelChaz]

oooo I love this!!! Would love more of these kinda videos for refreshers and for new players/returning players ^^

[@nightmare_just_cant]

Bro I got this as an ad and was like “I wonder what game this is for?” It’s only for the game I already play lol

[@1Rose_]

Same lol

[@HyruIia]

This is excellent. Looking forward for the next part.

[@som88261]

Here it was told that some of the dragons surrendered. Is it possible that zhongli is one of the dragon sovereigns or a survivor of the war with the primordial one? Then he is likely one of the descenders since he existed before teyvat (There was a rite of descension in liyue which is a huge hint). It will also explain why he asks the traveller to be the witness of teyvat's history. He also spends a lot of time listening to stories which I suspect is most likely him checking if history has changed or not.

[@averagemossenjoyer3243]

Not a bad theory but there is one flaw, abd that is that Zhongli forgot about Rukkhadevata just like the other archons, so he is probably not a descender otherwise he would remember her

[@mukil2399]

Zhongli isn't a vishap tho, and I don't think he has connection with them. It's azhdaha who's a dragon king, lord of geovishap, has connection with leyline, older than mountains and oceans, his lifespan is the same with the earth itself, his age is far exceeding mankind. So according to that, I think Azhdaha is one of the 7 sovereigns, maybe the reason why azhdaha was blind and lived underground (before meeting morax) was because phanes defeated him.

[@Star-id7hd]

@Average Moss Enjoyer Zhongli’s character story still states that only 2 of the remaining 7 still rule. If he did forget, he would've still counted Nahida as the Dendro Archon/ from the get-go.

[@mukil2399]

@@Star-id7hd char story isn't character's memories tho. Characters memories/ pov are in voice over. In the description in the char story, the character is described as the 3rd person.

[@Dazaiburger]

@@mukil2399 even if it's a post or after the quest it should've changed like in traveller's story 'about beliefs' section is completely removed and most nahida stories hv been altered too. The folio of foliage is a physical book which was written before aq, in that book a large number of description has been changed to remove any occurrence of rukhadeveta

[@A-bp9hq]

hoping this series brings a shitton of money so we can have more of it! It was so pleasing to watch and to listen!

[@ChaosFlute]

Wow. You put such emotion into that reading!

[@backgroundnoiselistener3599]

For someone who is really very fascinated by the genshin lore but couldn’t keep up with all the source material, please accept my sincere thanks 🙏

[@ghelcarreon]

Your narration and the animation are amazing~

[@hakimchulan]

cant wait to see more of this!

[@drell2357]

This is amazing I love this

[@erikboncoref.7020]

Simply beautiful! Both the animations and the narration are perfect! Keep it up, even if it's just a one-time thing!

[@brianxy3649]

"Second throne equal to the primordial one" ( does not even last a human lifetime against him)

[@Il_Capitano_No.1]

Uhh what?

[@brianxy3649]

If the 2nd Throne was really that powerful, it would have lasted longer than the sovereigns against the primordial one, but the 2nd Throne was defeated in a very short amount of time

[@sfericwaves]

Why does the Primordial One and the shades looks like Zhongli?... This seems kinda in sync with Wei's latest video :x

[@luingene]

Wow! Absolutely amazing animation! Your voice is brilliant 🤩 it fits soooo well into that story. Well done 👍

[@meyasi8137]

this was AMAZING! The animation looks nice & even though i read 'before sun & moon' this really helped understanding/visualizing the story. Also - loved the way you narrated it, I could really feel the emotion

[@shygansito3514]

Loved this kind of storytelling too, Great video , Hope more can come in the future ♥️

[@Uneke]

Honestly… great job! I’m loving this animation and narration on the history of enkonomiya

[@Kasraken]

Such a sad feeling after watching this story. But good video Ashikai

[@IsaHopez]

LOVE THIS!!! As someone who’s language is not english, thank u for this! It makes me understand the lore so much better

[@Poliakovsky]

Omg,this is so good! Thank you ashikai

[@KallaTheYapper347]

This is a great animation of before sun and moon. I got this feeling that Hoyo will come across this and use it as a basis for their possible animation of the book. Mind you, that what I said is pure speculation.

[@drachenhexer]

if you read the video description, it says that it is actually sponsored by Genshin itself.

[@KallaTheYapper347]

@Drachen Hexer Just read it. Now, I have to retract my speculative statement.

[@ArabicGenshinLore]

Cool voiceover and cool animations, keep it up

[@floofflez1134]

This is so well put together :>

[@akikabanu5885]

HELL YEAH this is amazing i love these!

[@demonsofrazg]

I am actually brought to tears by this beautiful animation and narration. Well done!

[@qqop5693]

SECOND PART SOON! And all other parts as well! ASAP! PLEASE! XD :) Ps: Amazing! Great Idea to Visualise and Narrate “Before Sun and Moon”. Coz many people keep hearing about it and trying to understand lore based on brief summaries by theorists, and never bother to read the full book for themselves while wanting to know more! So this medium will help them fully grasp the contents of “Before Sun and Moon” and enhance their understanding, so they can better keep up with related lore in the future and are caught up on some basics! This video was super helpful for people who don’t like reading but still love lore and want to know and learn more, and being able to satisfy their cravings for lore in a medium they can easily consume and want to consume in, its brilliant, amazing to be able to create this. Very useful and worth it. So praise for everyone who worked for this and made it possible. So yes, Great Job!

[@ahamadsemiyan7760]

Wow! Amazing animation. Great storytelling

[@FDMKuma]

i should have subscribed a long time ago cause ive been enjoying your videos for awhile but this definitely sold me

ohh, this is awesome! (Genshin should sponsor you do make all books in game as videos)

Beautiful work Ashi.

[@PhotoWorgen]

I love this so much; I saw it as an ad but Im escited to see more!!!

[@Efren_Salisi]

Awesome video! Your narration voice is so great to listen to.👌 I wish there will be more videos like this on the books/letters (like the one on Sumeru, the C'thulhu inspired one. Or teyvat travel guides) that are mostly collecting dust in my archive...

very reminiscent of the old "world of remnant" series by rooster teeth; i love it
