[@edwardgrijalba744]

Ok this is great, I'm so invested.

[@ChroniclerV]

Awesome! A Bionicle animated series.

[@Anonymus_M8]

This is a start of something, I bet

[@tristan7296]

Do you have a patrion?

[@fernandoorozco5968]

I love this

[@zarian0014]

This has that nostalgic late 2000s and early 2010s flash animation feel. I like it, reminds me of old times.

[@UrGhostGaming]

Yes it looks exactly like it

[@josephmontanaro2350]

Legit oddly reminds me of the old browser game and the later animations in the same style

[@BovineDesigns]

The casting and voice acting in this are super impressive! You all really captured their personalities and what the original movie VA's were going for.

[@Draezeth]

Matau's chutespeak was missing though

[@Numbskill]

We absolutely need more 2D animated Bionicle videos. Thank you for letting me a part of this video.

[@Chaztelchannel]

Dude you killed it man! I'm glad I was able to work with you and the others! Hopefully we'll get to do this again sometime!

[@jetrun94]

Love how Metru Nui feels like an actual city that is inspired by Blade Runner and Robots which go well together I might add. I also like how the posters are advertisements for other lego products and different media. It makes it feel like an actual metropolis in Bionicle.

[@EclipseHedgehog]

thank you for making vakama's launcher a jetpack as well. i thought i was the only one who did that

[@TheTsarofKLV]

I know this is a fan project and all, but I loved the easter eggs and details on the skyscrapers especially the 2022 Tahu in one of the scenes. Also, I loved the voice acting. I favored Matau's since it sounds almost like him in the Bionicle movies. Definitely a 10/10. Would like to see a sequel.

[@notofthisworld9691]

Dear Lord, I haven't been this impressed with a fan video like this since Noah Productions' two "Ignition" films! Voice acting was perfect, the cast was perfect, animation was clean and consistent, shots were well thought out! End credits were perfect as well. Made me feel as though I was watching some early 2000's Bionicle anime or something! Please tell me there's more!

[@blairterry9435]

I can’t believe Matau got the rest of the Toa Metru stuck in a situation where they are street performers while Vakama and animals find the Mask of Light.

[@Chaztelchannel]

I'm honored to have been a part of this. Getting to be a Toa was a childhood dream.

[@logermeisterva9150]

You and me both, brother!

[@carmineredpigment]

The voice acting is spot-on. I’m especially impressed with Norik, who sounds exactly like French Tickner (VA in Web of Shadows)

[@logermeisterva9150]

You're too kind! It took many, many takes to get it just right.

[@aventura2218]

I don’t think nearly enough people are talking about the intro. That was unbelievably good… The voice actors nailed what Toa Norik & Iruini would’ve sounded like if they where given a voice. There voice actors also gave a sense of urgency which tremendously helps build the scene. The atmosphere of that scene was also brilliant, it allows the viewer to become interested in the story this video will tell. All in all, 10/10 voice acting, 10/10 screen play, 10/10 atmosphere.

[@logermeisterva9150]

Comments like these hit me right in the feelies 😭 Thank you for the kind words!

[@aventura2218]

@@logermeisterva9150 No, thank YOU for giving such good voices to some of my favorite bionicle characters. I now can only see these characters with your voice behind their masks

[@EclipseHedgehog]

not only that, but the accent in them it makes them sound like they really are from a distant past like medievil knights, heroes from very long ago, before Lhikans' time as a toa.

[@EclipseHedgehog]

@@logermeisterva9150 you should voice act more often!

[@EclipseHedgehog]

@@logermeisterva9150 you should voice act more often!

[@aster6000]

Awesome. This feels like the G1 Bionicle show we never got. The voice acting is on point (matau's a little grating at some times but.. he's matau lol) Love the choice in music too, it really gives this a unique vibe with some more upbeat tunes that you don't necessarily associate with Bionicle and it really fits with the more vibrant character designs. Can't wait for more!

[@caveofskarzs1544]

Amazing. I've been on a Bionicle kick recently and this itches me in the right spot.

[@kieranwrightstone2199]

Honestly I should have known Roodaka played a part in this, she literally has nearly a hand with every major power in the BIONICLE universe. Really hope there is more to this, this was amazing. Here’s hoping Vakama doesn’t encounter her like last time…

[@dansstorm5696]

Super awesome! I’d love to see more of this! Vakama actually listening to his fellow teammates in a reasonable manner…I now know this is as non-canon as it gets.

[@vulpescorvum7602]

I'm new to the Bionicle lore 😅 Does Vakama often neglect his teammates 🤔 I remember it was either whenua or matau that was always criticizing Vakama ^^ 😅

[@DoomedHunt3r]

randomly decided to search bionicle after ages and see this was just posted, what luck. this is really well done! i hope everyone who worked on this is seriously proud of themselves!

[@fishpop]

Those three statues for Toa Of Water. Middle is Tuyet and right is Naho but the one on the left has her name partially off screen. What IS visible is "--pale" but what the first two letters are is unknown. EDIT: Nevermind, the wide shot at 7:43 shows she's Kupale but the new one on Lhikan's left has their name partially obscured. What can be seen is W---aro but the next shot shows it's Wakaaro and there's also an Eisom.

[@logermeisterva9150]

Good catch! When I was naming them I admittedly had to resort to a Matoran translator. I envy all of the Bionicle fans who don't need one!

[@fishpop]

@@logermeisterva9150 I have an image of the Matoran alphabet decoded so i just cross-referenced that. :P Granted some letters are easy to tell what they are, like O and X.

[@BobbleheadLuck]

Even after many many years, I still ship nokoma and vakama. Amazing voice work and animation!

[@Jg-wd9fw]

Vakama’s voice reminds me of Obiwan. Great video!

[@UltimateMustacheX]

I feel like Matau should have had a bit more chute-speak sprinkled in. Other than that, everything was on point. I especially like how the voices do quite well to mimic the mannerisms of the official movie voices.

[@devlinmee2974]

The detail in this animation is exquisite. I tried translating some of the Matoran messages left behind, and it actually made sense. I didn't even know that Toa Naho was a canonical figure, imagine my surprise when I reached her wiki page. Thank you for making this! I look forward to watching more if this series will continue.

[@Alex-mb2cy]

Definitely great, please make a sequel! Other than Nokama's mask being kind of creepy I really like all of this.

[@TheTsarofKLV]

Lol, I thought I was the only one who thought about that too...

[@nicholasrooley3376]

Her mask reminds me of how she looked in the Maze of Shadows game for the Gameboy Advance, so it's nostalgic to me personally.

[@dawntreader7077]

Nothing warms my heart more than to see that there still bionicle fans out there. Great job on this animation👍

[@sammykat2hb]

This gives me an idea of what a Bionicle animated series could’ve felt like…and it’s awesome!

[@carvedearth5676]

Great job! I know how hard animation is. Great work making this! This might be the closest we get to a metru nui cartoon series

[@RedHeatEnt.]

This was great! As someone who grew up with Bionicle this was a nice cartoon to see of it. I like the brick built Tahu Easter egg near the beginning and the animation of Vakama pulling out his disc launcher, very smooth.

[@Taohe_Netrus]

I really like how bushes are drawn, simple but still more complicated that simply filling object with one color or gradient. It enlives the backgrounds ^^

[@logermeisterva9150]

It was an honor and a privilege to design and voice in this project! Would absolutely love to collaborate again, and I can't wait to see what the future holds. Unity, duty, destiny!

[@Chaztelchannel]

It was an honor to work on this project with you! You absolutely nailed Vakama! Looking forward to the day when we can bring the Toa to life again!

[@benjamindavey4782]

Damn this deserves more views. I hope TTV and the other big kids in the community promote this.

[@FS_STUDIOS_OFFICIAL]

I hope so as well. I encourage everyone to share it everyone in the bionicle community. The more it gets shared, the more chance that maybe TTV will and more views will come. 😁

[@Toa_Va]

I didn't even think this would actually happen, but here it is, now please make more, this is one of the best things I've seen from the bionicle community ever.

[@latergator9622]

Criminally underviewed. This was fantastic!

[@GregoryRichardstheman]

This is amazing! It's so perfectly simple and wholesome, yet full of the right detail. Very faithful to the tone of Bionicle, and great casting to boot! 10/10 Keep up the great work! I too love the 2000s flash animation vibes. Well done

[@Xbendoesbricks]

Love how you integrate the designs from both the movie and the sets. Subscribed!

[@randallstevenson2528]

I love that you've put the time and effort into this storyline. are we going to get more episodes? I don't care how long I have to wait.

[@JaiiArtz]

Hope you guys continue the story with this one some day, everything about it is so well done

[@Bionicokura]

An awesome episode / animation this is , the animation is of quality and feels like something lego or even better would make , i feel that this style fits bionicle and enriches the story/ lore

[@oranmccann2476]

How am I only seeing this now? This really reminds of cartoons from the 2000s' it's like the Bionicle cartoon there never was

[@darthbravo3895]

I'll be honestm i used to shipp Nokama and Vakama XD

[@JonathanGhost42]

And i still do.

[@HaydenStudios]

This is amazingly well done. The art and animation is pretty good, and the writing and representation of the characters is superb. I grew up with Bionicle, and watched those first 3 movies more times than I can care to count (especially Legends of Metru Nui), so this hit me right in the nostalgia.

[@FanOfToaTahu]

This is so good. The voice acting, the animation, the sound design and mixing... Great work düdz :)

[@kaedeennead4140]

There needs to be more parts

[@mattd5240]

We need more bionicle fan films like this. There's a huge lack of them.

[@D-16DM]

This is so good I can’t wait to see more

[@dogsteeves1]

Netflix and lego should hire you to remake the show on Netflix but with the old lore

[@TheBohrokMan]

That was awesome! It feels really fresh seeing an animated show like this, it totally works well for telling Bionicle stories!!

[@PlasticToa]

This was a fun watch, we don't get animated projects like this too often in the community. The voice acting and dialouge are pretty good, and I like the lineart for the characters. The statues in the backround in particular are a great showcase of the artstyle. The animation and posing for the actual characters is a bit stiff though. Nokama's mask in particular could use a bit more animation, it's constantly stuck in the same stunned expression.

[@jackrare5503]

this is just.. amazing. so well done!

[@WelshGiraffa]

Gathered friends let us again embrace the legend…..of the Bionicle

[@Chaztelchannel]

Unity...Duty...DESTINY

[@WelshGiraffa]

It starts with unity if we are to keep the legacy of Bionicle alive we must do so together! This is something we can’t change

[@tristan7296]

This is so bloody good, please don’t make us wait too long before you put out the next episode, and don’t you dare leave this series unfinished!

[@blairterry9435]

Since this is alternate timeline I bet the Toa defeated Makuta before his plan could be executed in putting the city of Metru Nui into a deep sleep and erase the memories of all the Matoran. Saved and freed the real Turaga Duma and Toa Likann sacrificed himself to protect Vakama during the final battle against Tarridax. I bet Duma has taken Vakama under his wing as he was once a Toa of Fire like Likann. Also I think if Vakama told Duma about Likann’s journal about a Great Kanohi Mask hidden in the Great Temple he would tell him about the Mask of Light and a prophecy of a 7th Toa and that someone is trying to get the mask.

[@reinereue9210]

Update on next episode?

[@scarlet-overdrive67]

Please make more

[@Autisticguywithacamera]

Such great quality. I can't wait to see more. Loved the little joke about the 2022 Tahu at 1:54.

[@kiyanhakim384]

Shit I really didn't expect it to be so good. I'm genuinely interested in this story now. Time to pay the bionicle wiki a lil visit again

[@Ridsssss]

You know this is fanfiction because Vakama listens to someone else for once

[@JonathanGhost42]

This was such a cool and well done animated film with very solid voice acting.

[@awesomearchivist1705]

Matau was spot on this is fantastic!

[@BlazeBionicIe]

Great work, a lot of passion and effort was definitely put into this. I can't wait to see what else you have planned!

[@Anonymus_M8]

You think Nokama should have a bit more facial feature?

[@RetrovexAmbient]

5:00 he soubds like levelcap

[@LeoLuster214]

Huge props to the dude who voiced Matau, had to double take when I heard him lmao

[@SmileyFairy47]

Thank you, that was incredible and heart warming.

[@HatPeasyCat]

Loved it! Its so well made, from the drawing style to the voice acting ;p

[@raff3486]

This was great!

[@mosuman88mosu-mu94]

I'm loving it, reminds me of that 2000 star wars's short animations.

[@venobladebionicles6228]

1:56 ITS MINI TAHU. IT'S MY BOY

[@ericschuller908]

Mini Tahu is the Ugandan Knuckles of Bionicle.

[@TheTsarofKLV]

Maybe it could be Tahu jr. or Matoran Knuckles..

[@eduardomagana3858]

Glad to see more Bionicle content, and from a fan favorite animator

[@psykomancer4420]

That's exactly how I imagined Matau's voice when I read the books, though I always interpreted his personality as more laid back. Nice job, seeing a flash animation in 2022 is wild lol, really takes me back.

[@snowway0ut552]

That was amazing! The art was good and the characters were spot on! Woo!

[@slayer-ih8dl]

This was awesome to finally see can't wait for the second part

[@HowdyFolksGaming]

Nokama’s chest is the Vahi and I cannot unsee it

[@jeshonloonskin4176]

Okay, I wish there was a sequel to this, cause this is goddamm fantastic in its execution. The voice acting is great, the 2d animation is great. The models are absolutely perfect. I wish there was more.

[@josephmontanaro2350]

Legit kind of reminds me of the classic browser game and the animations after it in the same style

[@ericschuller908]

I loved this. Hopefully we can get more.

[@trustmendoza1928]

much love 4 making this, would love 2 see more

[@tcarpillo]

Dude, this work is phenomenal, from the animation to the voice acting and the writing! Hope to see more in the future

Adore this. Been craving new Metru Nui fan content and I hope to see more of this story!

[@ianbrennan9635]

This is absolutely beautiful. Hope for more to come!

[@StarWarsStory]

Dude this is phenomenal work! Would you be up for collaborating? I seek animators!

[@edwardcrown3593]

Great voice acting, well done artstyle reminiscent of mnog. Excellent work, makes me wish there was a mnog, or at least some game set in metru nui! Hope for more in the future.
