[@skanpandion7181]

I feel like an audiobook for this would be absolutely bananas!!!

[@josephjeffreys1829]

That's a really good smooth animation

[@emeraldtabbycat148]

I'm a bit curious as to how the Kiv's got to earth in the first place.

[@jadetheace]

Seeing the characters all animated together, how they all have their own body language and how their personalities are hinted at through subtle expressions. It’s nothing short of incredible 🥰

[@emeraldtabbycat148]

Lets just hope people remember that despite the Kiv's anatomical appeal, they're simply humanoid, but far from human in function.

[@drakonwolftanzer46]

And though they are inhuman they are absolutely mesmerizing

It is. Book is called Amygadala and it is AMAZING. ​@@ramonlujan2377

[@Uajd-hb1qs]

From a disgruntled guy telling his other-worldly housemates that they’ve killed his Henry vacuum cleaner to this and an incredible book (which I need to get if life decides to give me some spare cash). I’ve absolutely loved seeing this development. And yes, despite the nature of the Kivouach, James is indeed still the most disturbing…

[@nightperson1012]

I don't even know who the fuck James is.

@vanderburf9854 James is on the KZbin channel, but not in the book! He's mentioned in "Dysfunctional Family".

[@caroalcala3741]

Seeing all the characters together at the Vamabaya Gala animated is so surreal yet incredible!

[@ramonlujan2377]

Is this a chapter or event in the book?

[@mondenkindqueen]

Yes. A rather plot important one too. The Vamabalya Gala celebrates the Kivouachian New Year basically.

[@thibautisserant]

@@ramonlujan2377 The Gala happens in the last fifth of the book and is a moment where most if not all the introduced characters converge to the same place.

[@hypnoticsocs7176]

It's great to see a bunch of the characters finally animated like Methusa Wiley and Sylvia. Needless to say once again Sam never disappoints!

[@nightperson1012]

I screamed when I saw Sylvia. And my lad Bartholomeus.

[@Waams]

Methusa and Locket at “Life and Death” was PERFECT, representing their own views on material lives

Thallius is adorable lol

[@mondenkindqueen]

He just prefers the Winiwardian style. Naked and/or minimally accessorized.

[@jacobdoswalt]

Imagine asking someone to guess who the villain is lol

[@jacobdoswalt]

(wait who is the villain actually? I'm stuck between Locket and Gatsby but Gatsby turns out to be kind and locket does feel genuine remorse for what happened to Methusa, as well as the fact that we've seen characters we like do worse things than locket did sooo...)

[@meiasujadokaiser]

there is no villain, that's what the book is all about ​@@jacobdoswalt

[@nightperson1012]

​@jacobdoswalt Considering that Locket's harsh views do still ring true, I lean more towards Methusa being the villain, at least in the most barebones of terms. Her goals seem noble but mean societal stagnation, ultimately breeding extinction. Though given how many conflicting interests and viewpoints there are in the story, I think it's more apt to say that there is no set "bad guy". Just a bunch of intelligent animals acting in their own best interests and beliefs. Some moreso than others. Lucy is out for survival, Methusa believes eliminating ill from the world is noble, Locket seeks the strengthening of the Kivouackian race, Celia is trying to understand her own mind, etc etc.

[@doompoison2365]

@jacobdoswalt I think it's more of conflicting philosophies than "good" or "bad" people

[@Antitoenail]

The east part is there’s none

[@pakkrat7654]

Locket: “What’s this artist’s name again?” Dorothy: “Fennah. Do you like him?” Locket: “He entertains the senses and dulls the pain. I’d like another.” Excellent visual works and literary creativity. I’d like another.

[@YaBoiGuzma]

Damn... Makes me wish Dorothy was canon again. She will be missed.

[@OhSPY.]

The human tongue cannot formulate the proper words to describe just how tantalizingly mesmerizing these animations, characters, and designs are. Beyond stellar work! ♥

[@caitlinwilder5982]

This is like the best trailer nontrailer for a book I've seen. There's characters and scenes that tell a story but you won't know what that story says until you read the book. Only then will the pieces click into place and That is how you draw people in.

[@Zero-bg9ty]

The movements of these characters is honestly quite hypnotizing😵‍💫

[@Zero-bg9ty]

I can’t get enough of it!

[@tioerro404teoriasinsanas]

​@@Zero-bg9tyfalo é a mesma coisa ainda mais da Lucy

[@DrSvander]

I really hope we get to see more animations that are adapted straight from the book in the future. I'd love to see Sam animate the conversations between Lucy and Teazzer, Bazzil and Ludwig at the tailor shop in Liverton.

[@chocoloutre]

It seems to be, month ago he mad epolls on the youtube community to know in which order we want to see some scene he suggested ^^

[@Artaimus]

I think Celia has my favorite design out of all of them. The stars that are revealed when she's in shadow just looks amazing.

[@igotclassyo]

I just want to thank you publicly for putting the effort into all these models. Your designs are pretty... Out there (in the good way!) and even with your detailed descriptions, I would say they would be rather difficult to properly visualize. Being able to hear a description of the character, and then see them at the chapters end is such a helpful thing for a book such as yours, it was a great choice!

[@d.pedroii2940]

what I like is how thicc the femmes are

[@kovemoth6624]

finished amygdala in four days. only one word can describe you’re work sam: incredible! truly felt like i was in the kivvac world and apart of your characters. the monologues from each character were truly out of this world.

If this book was completely animated into a series I’d watch it so many times! Amazing work yet again! Never ceases to amaze and inspire me with your work! ❤

Anyone who still hasn't leapt to read Amygdala is missing out!! IT was one of the coolest books I've ever read and I am SO HYPED for book 2, I can hardly wait! The wait for this animation was also very anticipated. Thanks for everything you do, Fennah!

[@fredbearpostsfnaf9314]

I always love how your animations are so fluid and bouncy. KZbin randomly recommending your channel every so often is a joy.

[@DestaniePereira-ki1fo]

I can't believe how much the characters have changed both physically and personally wise. I have been watching Fennah's beautiful creations since Satilite City. A good example would be between Satilite City Helgan and Amygdala Helgan. I am a bit sad that the stuff in Satilte City is not Canon, but I am happy it gave birth to birth to a amazing book.

[@StudioKelpie1993]

Honestly as a fan of Horror, this world building and characters are by far the best examples as to why Art truly is something only us Humans can create

[@ivyfox1531]

Seeing how you started with Satellite City and ending the year with this masterpiece is the biggest accomplishment I’m trying to reach. It’s so inspiring and beautiful! The book is very engaging and if this doesn’t encourage you to read it, idk what will lol

[@hellknight128]

I just can’t get over all the character designs! Every single one is so unique and creative!

[@heathersalma7985]

I've been following this channel for 5 years and have always been fascinated with the totally unique character designs. This has been a wild ride and I don't plan on getting off any time soon. One day i hope I'll get the chance to buy and read the book but for now, seeing these characters unveiled in these animations with no prior knowledge is also incredibly fun because I never know what to expect. Helgan has been one of my favorites in terms of design changes ❤

[@Lucyndir]

It will definitely be worth the wait, and the money. I myself have read the book dozens of times already, and am not exaggerating. It is about 1000 pages, and each one holds hidden details, unique interactions and descriptions beyond expectation.

[@Hydrolion1998]

The song alone is addicting enough, but the animations of the characters added on with it elevates this on a whole other level!

[@chrisoneill5599]

The further I get into the book, the better this gets!

[@moss_drifter3667]

Coming back to this channel and seeing that this silly little series of a disgruntled man yellin at his older than dirt roommates and finding out that the book has been finished is such a trip. I remember way back during 2019 when the amino was still a thing and then bein a part of the discord and all that jazz. Fun times for sure. Congrats on your book btw!!

[@teejaykaye]

God, sometimes the youtube suggestions page really does throw me just ABSOLUTE BANGERS. I am SO intrigued by all the character designs, I absolutely adore them. Snapping up the book as we speak !

[@grimbones5316]

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! The Vamabaya Gala was always my favorite part of the book and seeing this makes it my all time favorite. See how when some of the characters walked or danced it was to the beat of the song. Seeing the entire cast like Oliver, Rodger, Wyley, Silvia, Sombra, Winifred, Thallius, etc was amazing. I was watching the entire time pointing out all the characters I knew. The circling with Methusa and Locket as “life and death” was hands down my favorite part. This animation did not miss one single detail. Amazing work again!!🫶✨

[@extremelyviolentlyvioletpl6073]

Can't tell ya how many times I went back just to admire every single characters design. ❤️

[@WhatTheFlup]

LOVE THIS Very stunning work ( :

[@captainhelium]

Just ...Damn, Wow!!! Your pantheon of ancient divinity is sublime.... they communicate through touch, through scent, through movements and dance where a single flex can be read as a volume. That transcends mere speech as how lesser beings communicate..... Nicely done!

[@CheshireCos]

[@okami6399]

Watching this after having JUST finished my first reread really does hit different. When this first released it had been a few months since I finished the book, and while I loved this the first time around (and my many subsequent rewatches) with all the scenes so much more fresh in my mind I realize how accurate this animation is. Even the small details of Lucy imagining the names and stories of the fictional dancers she creates in her head is captured here. I think my favorite part is Methusa and Locket circling each other around the railing. I initially thought that was just symbolic of their battle/dance of wits and beliefs but it turns out that’s actually in the book too! When I read that part again I was like “oh, wow yeah Bernadette is super accurate.” That was my favorite shot when I first watched, and I kinda wished there was a loop of them going full circle, but the fact that it’s even in the book (alongside their literal dance) makes it even better.

[@Mokiefraggle]

I love seeing the character designs as they've changed and developed through the years, and just how detailed and fascinating they've become. I feel like I always find something new that catches my eye, even on rewatching videos...like how the close-up on Lucy's eyes caught me this time, as it was the first time I noted her silver left eye has a constricted pupil like a blind eye would, which led me to backtrack and see if I'd missed that detail in other recent pieces. That, to me, is a sign of good art: it always has something else that catches the eye, no matter how often it's looked at.

[@DarkusZarvix]

I love how this doesn't have spoilers either. I'm reading the book a little each day as I settle down for bed and I'm about a third of the way through. I can't wait to read this scene though as it looks like a lot of shit goes down or its at least so tense! Animation is fantastic as always. Always gets better each time!
