EPISODE 4 IS FINALLY HERE!! Thanks again to Genshin for making this project possible! Do you guys have a favorite episode so far??

[@meapyboy12345]

YEEEESSSS THANK YOU DILLON

[@stickboi922]

I don’t know anything about genshin but I love it

[@CHINORIS]

Yes!

[@brandonlee2166]

SALUDAME PORFIS ME ENCANTAN TUS ANIMACIONES ERES GRANDE ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@LathaNWorldz]

My favorite is EP 1 & 3!

[@ketchupnmustard2783]

Kaveh acting like Kaveh as usual.

[@IsabelOrtega-om9ox]

tbh if I made the ship and the shiko no kami and it comes back in peices of scrap metal i would also be angry.....

Can't wait for Alhaitham to show up lol!

[@azizahfirda4994]

i'm laughing here

[@user-tk4cg9no2q]

Some guy digging up your dead cat, reviving them, and saying it as "I fixed this thing" would actually be kinda creepy.

[@BNuts]

Reminds me of the part in _Short Circuit_ when Number 5 asks Stephanie to 'reassemble' a bug he accidentally squished.

[@lunar_proxy]

YEAA i would be creeped out, but at the same time... if someone revived my cat i'd also be thankful. loved my cat...

[@Silvermoon.9336]

Fr, I mean I'd be thankful but also probably horrified

[@BrianCarreraShaw]

But this is anime, and stuff like this happening is kindergarten stuff lmao.

SCARA THROWING HANDS AT THE END THIS IS SO PERFECT

[@ElisonTheDuck]

Bro didn't even hesitate he was already in the air before Albedo finished his sentence

[@okkkkkkk8664]

bro has already ready for a fight the momment he realized about Susbedo

[@KaibaLeito]

Progenitor is truly one of the most anticipated series of HoyoFair, especially since it has a rare combination of cyberpunk and genshin, plus the anime-like plot makes it even better Looking forward to next year!

[@rrr9847]

So...once a year???

[@mrburpmud]

​@@rrr9847 yes, but episode 4 came pretty early

[@Im_Ajax]

Well episode 1 and 2 came out 1 year ago, episode 3 came out 5 months ago and this one now. I'll guess we will know by watching the next Hoyofair anyway, there might be an Hoyofair without it and the next one might have next episode, who knows? But it's worth the wait anyway ​@@rrr9847

[@KayaButterBreadehehehe]

I LOOKED FORWARD TO THE FAIR, ALL YEAR JUST TO SEE THIS OMG

[@alliethepal2480]

HOW DARE YOU LEAVE ON SUCH A CLIFFHANGER😭

[@anshtalele1547]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH

[@mel_101]

Now we have to wait another year 😭😭 but it will be worth it

[@Oceaninabottle]

Literally, I was so hyped to see the fight and then I moved my mouse and revealed the bar at the bottom. I realized it was about to end and I went NUTS

[@Shrine.-]

Red flags when a character willingly enters a 5v1 lol

[@AnbuAssasine]

The thing is he knows they wont just kill him outright but try to rescue L-13~

[@thelegendarykidofmystery1226]

Idk, one part’s asking where tf is mans confidence coming from facing down a Literal (P much) GOD, her assistant, An angsty teenager with chunni powers and this worlds version of the person they are about to face’s student(?maybe? Idk). Mans has a plan and that shows

[@gav_m5]

L-1 solo all of them let's gooo

[@wittich_tara]

He is hilarious! I hope we get to see more of him.

[@aquajeth4965]

I like how they portray Ei here similarly to the Genshin. She's badass but she's stubborn in what she believes until the truth is right in front of her like what Yae did here and in the game. It's honestly amazing how this series is building itself up to something big, though I'm not sure how many episodes they are planning to release. I can't wait for L-1 vs the whole of Inazuma + Kaveh

[@ShadowFenix]

"Inazuma ((+ Kaveh))" 😭

[@Whereyouatboi]

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG THANK U

[@subscriber101able]

And now we wait another year.

[@stickboi922]

Hell yeah more dillongoo animations! Idk what genshin is about but I like this story and everything

[@oompahloompah2]

The way Dillon weaved Genshin lore into this story is amazing! I think I appreciate this series 10x more having first experienced the story in Genshin Impact

[@TotherKoala]

Genshin is basically this but set in a medieval world following a different story. The characters here have been altered slightly to fit the futuristic world - sadly Albedo doesn't get that much of a role as of yet, but he does have ties to a very mysterious and important character. Also you'll get to meet Sucrose, who seems to have died in this timeline (I hope she comes back somehow - maybe L-13's healing abilities could work on her if they still have her body, since that would help heal his trauma) and you'll realise just how cruel the war in this timeline is: of all the people, Sucrose was too kind for the fate she seems to have met

[@seafoam2190]

Oh. My. God. Miko, Kaveh, Neo Inazuma- I am IN LOVE. This series just gets better and better!

[@maryaneshyaguirre6901]

At <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="156">2:36</a> you'll notice the contrast between them, L-13 positioning near the lights and L-1 standing on the shadow <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="520">8:40</a>-<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="522">8:42</a> Yae's Three Totems is change into knives <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="594">9:54</a>-<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="604">10:04</a> Oh the expression, the pained and longing expression ( Just joking but you know what I mean ) <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="612">10:12</a> Yae and Ei being ready, Kokomi praying, Mona on the hoverbed, and Scara....is Scara <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="72">1:12</a> Albedo Burst <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="113">1:53</a> L-1 smirk stawp <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="118">1:58</a> The tension >.

[@crimsongray925]

Sooo Kaveh looking half robot to anyone els? Wonder what happened to him. . . Also ofc Kaveh made those lol who els could? WAIT IS HE BREATHING WATER???

[@Dara-qk5md]

I dunno whether to call it a terrarium or an aquarium 😭

[@boss5718]

it seems that hes got some kind of terrarium in his stomach that's producing air for him to breath and supply CO2 to.

[@mjchang42]

So is that a reference to Kaveh's mother and Fontaine?

[@drowsyalien]

I can't express in words how much I love it when Albedo says "Mona" I feel...sехuаl pressure. . In fact, I already treat this work as a separate anime. I look forward to new episodes

[@DarrelDelfin]

"Mona~" 😊

[@subscriber101able]

I see you have learned from Hoyo's knack for leaving an episode onto a Cliffhanger... Pain.

[@ArchonKujo]

If there is any Genshin Impact fan project I loved most, it's definitely Progenitor, It's like Genshin Impact if they went to HI3 Part 2 route, like seriously? How can not find this as entertainment?

[@shiruyo_]

YAE MIKO APPEARANCE WITH THE GOJO AHH GLASSES!!!

[@kainimojojinoha]

Such a fuckin baddie tho like sheeeesh

I thought these were Kafka's glasses

[@Restarted_R3set]

"NAW ID WIN" ahh

Kaveh is porbbaly my personal highlight. His weird tank waist?? I wonder what that is about. And the fact that he is so expressive and an engineer 🙏🥰 I hope we get to see him more. Personal timestamp for me: <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="276">4:36</a>

[@MeiLikesToDraw]

I DESPERATELY FOR EPISODE 4, OH MY GOODNESS THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING IT OH NO ANOTHER CLIFFHANGER 😭

[@_nyxxi_omyc]

I love how they added Yae's burst in the animation! Also is it just me how feels chills when L-1 (or Albedo) says "Mona" ?

[@Mercury732]

We can all agree that Kaveh slayed

[@castergilgamesh1778]

Oh my god, Kaveh is still good ol Kaveh, milo looks cleeeeeaaaan. This episode was amazing

HELL YEAH. Incredible animation AND voice acting.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="79">1:19</a> adding mona’s normal attack here was epik

[@NotDanch]

PEAK HAS RETURNED

[@lune-3214]

Right as I feel exhausted after spending a few weeks rendering a 10-second animation, y’all drop some motivation. Thanks!

[@CactusPuppy]

It’s finally here! Time to get hype for more awesome indie animation.

[@Fandomcrazy09]

This cliffhanger has me hooked, what's going on with L-1's backstory? Is was Mona a real human at some point? Why is the earth green and stuff when it's a wasteland now? How long has L-1 existed? Why was Mona in her Genshin outfit? Does this story have something to directly link it to og Genshin? L-1 seemed so kind... What happened? The way they tricked him is amazing!!! Also... The not so subtle flirting on Yae Miko's part has me cackling... The implication that Raiden would want her in her office for other means than security??? HELLO? I can't belive I caught this episode only 12 mins after it came out... I'm so exited for more!! I litterally almost squealed when Kaveh showed up, like?? HE IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!! WILL WE GET AN ALHAITHEM TOO? IS KAVEH A MEHCANIC INSTEAD OF AN ARCHITECT??? I KNOW HE'S NOT A MAIN CHARACTER BUT I FUCKING LOVE HIS DESIHGN OH MH GOD!!! The whole water thing he has going on is so cool? What's up with that? Will we get more on that? I love this so much, can't wait for more!! AND HIS ANIMATION??? It's so bouncy and expressive??? Probably my favorite part of the show in terms of the animation... THIS IS SO COOL!!!

[@AnbuAssasine]

Miko is so peak here, her behavior and design~ and yeah i wondered about that too why mona had her genshin outfit.... also, the cat albedo revived looked awfully similiar to the cat mona was attached to in the cat house Event where u could pet the cats... Also i think L-1 was the first bot made after albedo, maybe could even see he killed the original one and just has his memories or something. Cause as u said, albedo in the memory was super nice. Also think its connected to original genshin. Who knows maybe technology advanced and the incident why people fled underground was the judgement that mavuika is preparing for and mentioned

[@Fandomcrazy09]

@@AnbuAssasine Holy fucking shit I'm frothing at the mouth thinking bout these theories rn...

[@KelumKey]

Kaveh darhsan is Architects AND mehanic. And his mini robot he make himself

I just rewatched EP 3 today and this pops up?! Never been this early, I know I'm gonna love it

i wanna see Mona: You're outnumbered. L1: we a have a Klee

The way i just shrieked when we got our Yae miko appearance oh my god The alternate design choices here are stellar, and everything else is awesome perusual. I just lovelove how this has become a series.

[@JBasilix]

I feel like you people get better and better at conveying emotions. All the small movements in the face with big moments like <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="115">1:55</a> and small moments like <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="322">5:22</a> when Kokomis eyes trail off even further after already looking away.
