[@JamesSimcox]

Was an absolute pleasure making the music and audio for this. Had so much fun with it. Thank you for all the lovely comments, it's very much appreciated 💛

[@kleinebre]

Really enjoyed the vibe of the music, is this soundtrack available anywhere?

[@ecb116]

Awesome job mate. Very professional. It really took the animation on another level

[@JamesSimcox]

[@JamesSimcox]

[@PrithiSij-zq1dn]

@@JamesSimcoxplease do, I reallly need it 🙏🙏

[@cameronlamb5430]

This is one of those animations that everyone sees on youtube before realising the animator has moved on to make an absolutely legendary feature. I love everything about this, phenomenal work.

[@animatorFan74]

Good call, yeah.

[@Zean.productions]

Appreciate that, thank you!

[@ajw5743]

What is the legendary feature?

[@reyals66]

[@BlackStorm236]

Bro control your swearing...you are not gonna get likes like this

[@RestartYourThoughts]

@@BlackStorm236 im pretty sure im a grown man capable of thinking twice before i comment and i dont need likes i just want the creator to feel appreciated and i can and will swear if it means to hype someone up

[@williamlevison9966]

Here before this absolutely blows up

[@h8luvale]

cant wait for the YT algorithm to recommend this to millions of ppl in7 years (jokes aside, this is crazyyy, very well done)

[@rintintinman9223]

Any major studio,, that would see this video as an absolute home run of a Resume,,, is blind. This team is going places.

[@rootx2369]

"Koji" stands out with fluid animation, intense pacing, and beautifully choreographed moves that capture the essence of an epic showdown.

[@TheMelMan]

These are the shorts I like. No bleak depressing open ended conclusion. And the animation is 🔥🔥🔥

[@void-8046]

BROOOOOOOO, the story on this one is intriguing asfffffff please continue

[@chocofro3]

The ending is perfect. It really makes me want to see more of the adventure.

[@makotoseto6376]

The technique and fighting style is so creative, The way the samurai golem forced himself into the his 2 spears knee him was insane!

[@AnakinSkywalker-iz4xd]

This is superb. The use of lighting, the motion smear, and the polygonal character design is pulled off really well. From one animator to another, i commend you.

[@Zean.productions]

Thank you Anakin, this is where the fun begins.

[@Levimations]

Bruh this is insane.. the slow mo.. different angles.. action.. lighting... Nice work

[@scottpagan2233]

Good Lord someone give this man a budget so he can create an epic masterpiece for the world to enjoy!

[@_spineless]

You guys killed it in so many aspects with this, bravo!

[@behappy4675]

"This is an appreciation comment" Edit : Animations aside JAMES SIMCOX has done the best to make this perfect

After 500 years, the Balance was restored...cuz YT's Algorithim finally did its job! Brilliant work!

[@JustCallMeRio]

The dual spears is a fighting style that I never expected would look so badass 😭 Also the art style is absolutely amazing, the low poly low framerate combination gives it a completely unique vibe compared to a lot of other animations and art styles out there!!!

[@ecyinka]

Every animation seems bleak to me after Arcane. But not this one. Honestly, this is a true masterpiece right here! Absolutely mind blowing!

[@gamingthings9940]

The sound design and animation was insane 💯

[@lushinjilo]

So much to be said and broken down, yoh, amazing. Really love the shallow depth of field in the fight sequence. That was immersive. Awesome work.

[@aaqibkhan878]

Damn loved every second of this masterpiece! The whole direction of the fight scene as well as the ending cut where we are left on wanting to know more about other stones/gems, pondering upon the main character's past and future. Amazing work, very inspiring!

[@CreativeGamer-y2v]

Amazing brother it seems very unique style of animation even it is 3D, I appreciate your hardwork.

[@Munkaa]

This was my favorite to win, and it did! Big congratulations to the team!

[@CGDive]

Noice! I feel like many creators use animation on 2s, 3s, etc. as a trendy gimmick. But here it is spot on, works so well with the visual style.

[@UsedByMyOwn]

awesome!!! hope there will be the other 9 episodes to complete the circle ... great work! love the details and the fighting scenes.

[@Graylord12]

Congrats in advance bro. You're gonna blow up with this

[@Zean.productions]

Thank you!

[@aaronvdw]

Congrats again on the win!

[@govindpandey193]

koji is one of the character which makes you strong, the unsaturated gray character in snowy environment and the movie build is the selling point when he and monster get aware of each other that was unique {for me }. finally ,i liked the movie very much zean should make more stuff like this . 🥰🥰

[@Ziahmation]

I love the impact and the smear frames! 👏

[@spaghettiHell]

A 3d animated fight seen with smear and impact frames? made mostly in black and white? lets go

[@collinbabin5517]

Good lord this is brilliant

[@Chrome_008x]
