All the confirmation I needed that all gunlance users are chads. He introduced himself by *whistling the Bazel theme.* If that isn't a power move, I don't know what is.

[@guardian3636]

So that what he was whistling

[@lucas4craft161]

Anyone else finding the gunlance guy looking a lot like bahari?

[@CreativityNull]

Especially with blast dash and reverse blast dash. You're basically a bazelgeuse.

He is also wearing the bazel armour set

[@xsaihaytqr7080]

The whistling introduction idea reminds me of Protoman from the Megaman series

[@ExoskelletAnimation]

I don't think I have much to say this video was 11 months of work , not full time but sure felt like it at time , it was easy to overfocus on the flaws and cut corners but in the end I'm very proud of what I did . Not sure what the future holds but I've proved to myself that I could do anything I want if I wanted to animation wise . Thanks yall for being here . I will be doing a livestream where I go over some behind the scenes for this video btw , so if you have any question post them below I will probably answer them then

[@Samtarkras1]

What was the most difficult scene to animate or the one that took the longest? and what scene are you most proud of or is your favorite?

[@oodragonoo6702]

Yo this was awesome. The malzeno parts were fucking amazing. Keep up the good work man. I've noticed you've improved a bit as well, so definitely see this project as a win.

[@garterbelttights6607]

dude im glad you're proud of this cause its amazing

[@NorthyStarrs]

What was your favorite gag you did throughout the whole video? In terms of design, what was the most difficult character/monster design and how much did it change before the final cut? Lastly.. If you had to be isekai'd into the game, which of the main protags in this animation would you want to be?

[@UploadingPhantom]

This went so impossibly hard. You can tell how much time and effort went into it and the fight scenes were amazing

I don’t have any words to say to this except… “Nice” 👌 Edit: Actually, I do have something to say, this has better cinematography than whatever I’m cooking here. And I feel like I should step up my game to be on par with this. Especially the final parts that go SO GOD DAMN HARD

[@SunRez]

When long sword and hammer swapped weapons while fighting Malzeno I got literal goosebumps. The choreography was incredible!

[@mctankies]

Absolutely gorgeous from start to finish. Gaismagorm was such a spectacle in-game, and you represented that flawlessly here. Please give baby Bazel.

[@Rageouz]

1:51 I love how this seems kinda like a weird reference to make with Shogun then you gotta remember that Shogun's water beams are just him pissin' on you

[@magolor3219]

1:13 I love this part. While juggling those flame pinecone things, they get replaced by three tiny grey things. Two of them squeak, and the third… (Cue Bazelgeuse roar) If those are supposed to be baby Bazels, they are adorable compared to the adult. Seriously, 1:20 LOOK AT DA LITTLE BAZELBEANS!

Holy shit the fight animations are phenomenal, I lost it the first time it shifted from the chibi comedic art style to that awesome Garangolm sequence. I can absolutely tell why this took so long to make, amazing work! Also, 4:15 is that freaking Bad Apple!?!?

[@alitabattlebot013]

Dude.... I don't think I've ever seen a monster hunter animation so action packed. Absolutely phenomenal work!

[@stormylobby]

I don’t even know where to start when it comes to this. From the fight choreography and cinematography, the music choices, and the little references sprinkled in (Ex. The Giggi animation), this animation absolutely blew me away and my expectations out of the water (which was definitely a high bar to hit considering the amount of respect and admiration I have for your work already as both a MH fan and an artist). The amount of effort you’ve put into this one animation alone is bursting from the seams, from the way the close bond shared between the main trio (the one between Valstrax Guy and Hammer-chan especially, seeing how they’re the two most prominent in this) is shown, despite the limited dialogue to the additional drawings and bits of animation during and after the credits. The sections with Valstrax left me with goosebumps and the fight with Gaismagorm manages to top even the Apex Rathalos video in terms of raw hype (I legit shouted “IT’S HIM!!” when Gunlanchad appeared on screen lol). You’ve absolutely outdone yourself here Exo. The wait was absolutely worth it and I can’t wait to see where you go from here. #GobulForMH6

[@navaldeus1327]

Valstrax Guy went from triple carter to living legend. They grow up so fast. Fun moments (1:13 definitely caught me off-guard with the mini Bagels, especially the last one lmao), amazing battles and a well-deserved victory for the trio - this animation had it all. Well done!

[@johnmills6351]

This whole animation is incredible. The fight choreography in particular is a masterclass. Everything is so smooth and fluid, amazing job mate.

[@KsnypsAdventures]

This is peak animation. So fluid, well drawn and just amazing. Good job Sir. I cannot imagine How long this took to make.

[@TheValiantBob]

Damn, this was incredible. A teensy bit sad we didn't get Fiorayne's awesome shield slam against the final boss, but regardless this was amazing. Hammer-chan getting super hyped when she saw MONKE, the insane fluidity of Malzeno and just feeling incredibly intimidating, to that entire final battle. Hot damn. 12/10, totally worth the wait!

[@Registeel_379]

Utterly magnificent work ExoSkellet, you could’ve honestly posted the Gaismagorm fight by itself and I’d honestly believe that it took 11 months of work, but it’s merely the cherry on top of an already gargantuan cake. Seeing NCH and Teacommonshark do little guest animated bits to show the utterly ludicrous hitboxes on Barioth’s tail caught me very off guard, and the other little community nods like Bazel doing the wingdrake yoink from Terminal’s animations were an absolute treat.

[@Samtarkras1]

Ah, this is so fucking good... the hard work paid off in terms of what you made. Lets see it get the recognition it deserves!

[@PlasmaBald]

This might just be my favorite animated monster hunter video ever. It reminds me of all the great things the something about series has to offer, but with a distinctive art style that’s overflowing with personality and fight scenes that are just unparalleled. Truly excellent work, easily worth the wait and then some. I really have nothing to criticize here. This video will go down in mh history as one of the all-time classics for sure.

[@Oceaniz]

EXO YOU ARE A WIZARD THIS IS AMAZING MON AMI

[@cosmics7592]

that was insane ! the animation, the NCH/Shark cameo, the final shot with fatalis (loved it), everything was so good !

This was criminally good. It really encapsulates the feeling that's MonHun is supposed to give: just kicking the absolute shit out of a giant demon dragon with your buddies using the most anime moves possible.

[@gloweyesca5339]

This animation went insanely hard holy shit! I love how expressive and cartoony it is, while simultainiously having some Trigger-eske fighting scenes with beautiful striking animation. Well done!

[@moondragon2502]

OH. MY. GOD. It was so much worth the wait. The music are well placed and incredible, the scene are absolutely epic, the humor is perfectly dosed, AND THE ANIMATION IS JUST GOD TIER. I absolutely love it and I cant see how he could be more perfect than this. Be proud, you've probably done one of the best MH animation on youtube It exceeded all my expectations by far. And yet, I already expected a lot from 11 months of work from such a talented animator. But ffs, this is just so good... I'm gonna rewatch it a bunch of time, for sure.

[@metaloverlord7465]

Malzeno really stole the show in this video just like in the game. Gaismagorm was a great final boss but Malzeno has so much PERSONALITY, especially here! I loved the longsword catch from behind, the intro of him cackling and holding up an injured Fiorayne in his tail, the headbutt between him and Hammer Girl (or is it Hammer Guy?). There are episodes of anime I didn't get sucked into as much as this animation and you have both my gratitude AND my respect!

Words cannot describe how cool this video was. The references to other games/anime like street fighter, Dark Stalkers, etc. and FMA, alongside the ending fight were phenomenal. Really like the fight choreography, set pieces, and effects -specifically the explosion on Gaismagorm and the impact frames that you used. You did not have to go that hard, but you did it anyway. Great job.

I've been pondering for a while over what I could possibly say, what compliments I could give, and honestly I have nothing, there isn't any words at least in my vocabulary to describe just how insane this is. I cannot begin to imagine the mental toll this must have been to work on and I don't even know if I can say it was worth it because no project no matter how good is worth sacrificing your own mental health, but damn if this doesn't at least justify the effort I don't know what does.

I told him that, even though he's never played SMRPG, he's probably heard it from a video essayist or something because it's just a very *good* track. 24 hours later, I find this video where Forest Maze is tossed right in there.
