PROGENITOR: A Genshin Cyberpunk Anime // EPISODE 1 & 2

Swearing off violence, L-13 (also known as Albedo) exists in a world where synthetic and organic humans stand on opposite sides of a battle for equality. But when approached by RS-03 (General Raiden) in a dire situation, he must decide which humanity to fight for.

[@paradoxcronos6031]

Ill never get over how cool it is that Scaramouch/Wanderer used his hat to hack.

[@ShawnSmith-zy2ch]

He reminded me of silver wolf from star rail

[@Wow_Catt]

The “bang” as well 😭😭 that reminds me of Makima

[@kazumamikuno]

Ei being a mother while wanderer and raiden having a sibling dynamic is cute

[@saufinexious7556]

Family unite. Never knew I'm gonna need that.

[@Scaracatiscute._.]

It's basically their dynamic in game, even if the haven't met. They are all related.

[@wolfie-mi5ye]

Wait yeah cuz Al was created by Khaenri'ah Rhinedottir? And Shogun and Scara are created with Khaenri'ah technology

[@Stardust51]

3:00 that slap never gets old

[@reign663]

Facts bro ! 😂😅

[@anonymous-on2xm]

I forgot how funny that was

[@icantunderstandwhatisinmyp7924]

It's personal

[@TheSilverOne878]

That slap was 100% personal

[@ChenEnYap]

Bro was fighting for his life and just gets slapped in the face and now I can't stop laughing😂

[@dillongoo]

Originally, I wrote these two episodes as a single 24 minute episode, which is why they flow directly into each other. So here it is as a figurative pilot! Enjoy!

[@zalla00]

Hope we get more episodes! :D

[@Nosiop09]

Will there be a 3rd one

[@notaperson7986]

Yayyy

[@karmaf2p431]

Next episode please

[@shxgvnn]

I'm really hoping this becomes an entire series! It's amazing id definitely watch all of it ! ❤

[@Ricardo_Rick]

I'm kinda sad Klee didn't go with them but i'm very happy she survived, i was heartbroken to see her die. I'm looking forward for more of those, Albedo is incredible and i loved his interactions with Raiden, i never expected those 2 to work so well together.

[@DiamantesRaivosas]

Yeah, she deserved to go togheter, who knows in the future we will see more of her potential, after all this little witch was capable of destroying mountains in og story

[@Ricardo_Rick]

@@DiamantesRaivosas i doubt it, but she could reaper, yeah

[@ORProductionss]

15:29 Is no one talking about this being a direct reference to what she can actually do?!! 17:42 *B A N G*

[@Aleis295]

If you notice the fighting screen, they actually stick to the original a lot. Example as Albedo's attack

[@HafaazadAnggulia]

"Ba" *Dicenagrates cutely*

[@tyrrell203]

What do you think is more peak? Him saying "bam" or if he said "Nuh Uh."

[@aeternasomniam]

"Bang", lmao bro watches too much inuyashiki 😂😂

[@wispywillows1151]

22:25 i love how the cat was also wanted

[@shxgvnn]

IVE BEEN OBSESSED WITH THIS THING THE DAY IT CAME OUT! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MAKE MORE PARTS, ITLL BE AMAZING !! ❤

[@TechRaptorJay-Alt]

Same!

[@OsorezaN7]

I'd pay for it to be a series

[@b7ack.956]

Continue plz

[@Ominate]

Same😢

[@max_bayes]

yes pls continue

[@comicallyslowsnek3651]

This level of quality is all-deserving of a much, *much* greater audience. Keep evolving, boys.

[@JLATS]

Dude your whole team is insane. Everything from the script to the animation to the voice acting. Intended as a WHOLE short? It's become my favorite Genshin AU. Kudos!

[@asu-chan1812]

coming back to genshin fandom after a break and remembering what kind of a fandom this is for literally making a 20 min long anime for it

[@awiseauthor3456]

12:33 I love how you use his actual normal attack anims, its so sick

[@Ominate]

He’s a little elegant man

[@codeswift27]

Frrr I LOVE the attention to detail

[@Butter_Warrior99]

I can’t wait to see what the irradiated surface looks like.

[@shadowofnights8376]

Just imagine it nails everywhere the eye can see

[@Teh10Sorrow]

3:02 Is still the best ever, not only did she block all of his moves, but even found a opening to slap him XD Also i enjoyed all of it, gives my huge vibs of Monty's work. Which is a good thing, since the animation and the fighting is so good

[@ExplorerChris]

A lot of the animation team that made this is actually comprised of people who worked on the earlier volumes of RWBY when Monty was still alive! :3

[@ARandomStranger209]

​@@ExplorerChris Oh wow! I love RWBY and I felt like there was some sort of connection between the two! I'm happy that there was!

[@GigaChad-Creator]

gotta give credit at that raiden scream, incredible voice acting

[@BenedictChan-b1h]

18:36-18:45 If RS raised her children properly P.S. Like the idea that Scara being a tech geek

[@Ihaveissues2024]

Not the Shogun. Ei, she created them

[@muhibbhussain2262]

He's still the emo kid we all love 😂

[@KemoKa77]

He learned his technological skills from when he was Nahida's intern.

[@chaoticangel97]

I said it before, but I’m really hoping you do more episodes in the future. Take as long as you need, no need to rush anything. This is such a creative take on the Genshin characters that deserves to be explored more.

[@MeYou-rr3fm]

Albedo in genshin lore no one can lecture him Albedo in fan animation, broken character lectures by raiden The animation is insane ❤

[@AMPF...]

The klee thing gave me a heart attack and i'm bawling my eyes out

[@luxxpei]

6:49 -Albedo’s expression is gold

[@mel_101]

Get it? Gold? Hahaha

[@aceapricats8018]

I love that they animated his actual in-game normal attack animations 😊 12:33

[@Ominate]

Elegant man

[@mariohumbertomorfinmarin5173]

​@@Ominate What is fighting without style

[@Ominate]

@@mariohumbertomorfinmarin5173😢nothing

[@realdreamerschangetheworld7470]

Omg, a couple seconds in and I’m already blown away 😂. I don’t know why, considering the quality of your work has been great for the longest. I look forward to watching this!

[@KazeKoopa]

As always, great job to your team for producing this top-tier animated Genshin. I am looking forward to see this series in the future!

[@yukii_2023]

Banyak betul duit mu...

[@Ominate]

MONEY

[@magicalmaster7233]

LOL@@Ominate

[@batsignal3469]

The capacity to connect a parallel story with the original and still elevating both contents is outstanding. You are a genius and i wish nothing but success in your future projects.

[@munsterotaku3058]

Thanks the meet up of both episode into single one. also i see a small detail about the cat : he was "WANTED" like Klee :D

[@Linieeeee_Ming]

THE WAY RAIDEN SLAP ALBEDO😭😭😂

[@aleahzubrod2943]

It definitely works better as a full episode. When just watching the first half alone, it feels like Klee's apparent death, which is set up at the beginning, is just interest bait which doesn't pan out. But seeing it altogether, you're pulled in and you see the fulfillment of the set up result in some incredible and emotional character moments. Seriously, this is incredible. Please make more!

[@aleahzubrod2943]

Also, just more reasons this is great-- the set up at 11:42 for why lightning chest sword works with her blood is fantastic. Now its not just oh, she has cool powerful moves, but OH MY GOSH DO DO THESE POWERFUL ATTACKS, SHE LITERALLY HAS TO GIVE OF HER OWN LIFE BLOOD. And all the details, like Alice's shop being named Golden Apple and using Albedo's fight choreography from the original game are AMAZING. I'll admit thought that I was sad some of Alice and Albedo's dialogue from the beginning was cut. I feel like we lost some lost some important set up. Any way that could be put back in?

[@amberwingthefairycat]

Just feed Klee a Teyvat Fried Egg.

[@strawz427]

THIS IS SO COOL!! This is better than the official genshin anime we're never gonna get- IT'S GOT FREAKING ALBEDO AS THE MAIN CHARACTER I LOVE YOU AND YOUR TEAM FOR MAKING THIS (albedo is my favorite character so this is actually just the coolest thing ever to me, the animation is top tier and UGGGGHHHH I LOVE THIS SO MUCH) It's kinda also like a combination of genshin impact, Detroit become human and it's own special flair which is AWESOME- srsly this is so cool- can't wait for the next episode!!!

[@magtac1]

12:33 THATS HIS NORMAL ATTACK SEQUENCE OMG

[@neaccanonn]

Cool to see the two episodes put together like this! Fight scenes are absolutely epic. The story is well thought-out and I love how you incorporate everything from Genshin into this. Can’t wait to see where you go with the rest of the series! Keep up the great work 🫶

[@starliighttt_]

The scaramouche hat idea is sooo genius omg

[@lucyhaze2747]

NOOOO NOT SUCROSE!! NOT MY ANEMO GIRL 😭😭😭

[@sypher_moon]

I can't wait for the third episode!

[@echo-for-life]

2:57 the slap🤡🤡😂😂

[@danieldantas2437]

20:41 THE SCARAMOUCHE FACE IS SO CUTE OMG ❤❤💛💛❤💛🧡💚💚💙💚💛💙🧡💜🧡💛💚💙🧡🖤💚💜🧡💛💜🧡💛🧡💛💙🧡❤

[@horacestorm13]

Petition for dillongoo to make a third episode for the next Hoyofair. Anyone who agrees with me, say "Aye". Edit: I changed my mind. I know it takes a lot of effort, time, and resources to make one, but I'd really love it if this turns into a series, even if it would only be a short one.

[@PrograError]

I just hope for 8 episode series... don't care how long, in minutes...

[@K4YV4N]

AYE!!!

[@slimeygoblin9047]

AYE INDEED, THIS MASTERPIECE MUST CONTINUE

[@jennydiariesexe]

AYE!

[@Vy_playz.]

aye

[@Nanaer396]

Im so glad that Albedo is the main character in this mini animation 🥹♥️

[@DarrelDelfin]

Me too 💛

[@СтефанияБерезнева]

Oh, God, It's all so excellent from the plot to the effects, it's just unrealistically beautiful and cool!! I'm crazy about these two episodes, and I can't wait for the new one to be released! I'm not rushing you, do everything right and as much as necessary, I'll just hold my fists for you guys, you're just the best. This is now my favorite AU by Genshin! I'm roaring from the music, the plot, and this relationship between Klee and Albedo, It's so tearful, I just can't. You guys are just great, I adore you! Keep up the good work, I'll be jumping with happiness when the new episode comes out, thank you so much! And special thanks for the main character Albedo, I love him very much!

[@spoopyboy3038]

Insanely good but one thing that bothered me was the close up of albedo’s face at around 23:28 where one of his cracks twitch out, otherwise this is great

[@echo-for-life]

People, we got ourselves a new iconic line 17:42

[@MoonieLovegood]

Like seriously who said the animation deserved to be THIS smooth. Hello? Why doesnt this have a bigger audience??

[@vlweb3d]

You've certainly proven that BLENDER CAN DO ANIME ! Congrats to you and the team.

[@ma-wi4kh]

oh my i found this randomly and i dont even play genshin (just vicariously obsessed with wanderer) but this is cool af, honestly i'd watch a whole series just for the visuals??? raiden looks amazing she's spectacular and net nomad my boy he's SO 🤌🤌🤌 wasnt expecting klee to get smashed by a rock bro that was actually painful jsjs this robot theme is so cool really i'm honestly in awe

[@Raenas]

There is no greater or more appropriate use of the "Shut up and Take My Money" meme than this pilot.

[@Shanks-Sea-Yonko]

No, no, no, JUST NO! It's been 35 seconds only, and am wondering WHY isn't ANYONE acknowledging this guy's creativity AND HIS TEAM'S great support. I mean... WOW. I even lost track of when I subscribed, but am never losing track of this improvement. Fantastic 😍 👍

[@Melunitaro]

That dimensional slash Raiden did was majestic. 16:07

[@koenielyla]

ONCE MORE, THE ANIMATION KING HAS BLESSED US WITH A WORK OF ABSOLUTE ART!!

[@Melody_Solaris]

PLEASE TELL ME THERE IS MORE THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!!!!! The fight scenes are phenomenal the characters feel more fleshed out Raiden and Wanderer give siblings while Ei gives mother and the adult characters LOOK LIKE FUCKING ADULTS. The story so far is incredible and the voice acting matches the characters so well! If there is another part I’m gonna watch it immediately and if not I look forward to seeing it!

[@Minorityhunterzoro59]

I actually cried when I thought Klee died😢

[@NunyaBisnis1993]

can we all agree that there should be a full scale Genshin Anime show by dillongoo spanning hundreds of episodes covering multiple character arcs and archon stories with a proper full sized triple AAA budget? Kthxbai.

[@CrimsonHybrid]

Holy God (and Archons) this is too damn good. I will legit watch an entire series of this! I was in awe the whole time and cried tears of awe at the ending!

[@joeveen]

This is truly amazing and beautiful! I hope it'll be an actual continuative series.

[@crazyinc.7854]

OH MY GOODNESS THIS IS SO GOOD!!!!!!!! Like the fight scenes are amazeing, and I love how you adapted their powers to be more modern! I also love this world concept and love the story!!!!!

[@optiona3667]

Holy shit! This is so well made on so many levels! The directing, framing, animation, and sound direction are top notch! Good job on all accounts! What a gem!!

[@wisgarus]

I just realized you guys basically turned Genshin Impact back into Honkai Impact with the Cyberpunk aesthetic xd And I am loving it. Cyberpunk as a style deserves the love. And so does Honkai Impact. Hopefully there'll be some references to it

[@veesxll]

This is just too great for words, the animation, expressions, the dialogue. I hope to see more of these great episodes! Great work that your doing :]

[@sembalo1776]

this is SO friggin good, and the way elements from the game are also used, chefs kiss

[@TheBurntPr3tzel]

This is quite literally the best animation I've ever seen, this just inspired me to become like you. +1 sub

[@benoitmenard2210]

Thank you for making an awesome animation of Genshin Impact characters! I hope it will become a big series!

[@Ari.Atland]

Albedo kicking ass❤ **The variety of 26 latin characters canont curtail how much of a masterpiece this is.**

[@deniz8714]

11:09 would be an amazing start to a cyberpunk genshin au game

[@Ahri--]

Really loved the way it came out. Hopefully some other episodes get green-lit, would be awesome to see how the story continues!

[@cadweirdness6133]

I just found this and it is great! I love just how much small set up and pay off there is for he fights. Where simple abiltiies are shown and then only a bit later more complex versions are used. Its so fun

[@瑞季関井]

10:21 ここからの雷電さん最高に好き… ただ傘をさすだけじゃなくて、防御までするって言うのが完璧すぎて最高に好き…

[@muhibbhussain2262]

💜☂️💥🔥🔥🔥

[@allengranbell4297]

Boy you got me hooked!!! If there's a continue to the story, I'll be looking forward to it very much! Keep up the great work! 👍🏻

[@ZanderEditz_]

What I would give to be voice acting in this 7:35 Also didn't he just say he wasn't outta shape lol 😂

[@Magorgames]

Damn, the fight scenes were insane. Phenomenal work, holy crap.

[@cheetany5207]

I absolutely love this! We need more Albedo content!

[@averywynter]

I have so much to say idek where to start First of all, 13:53 AHHHHHHHH i cried for so long I could not look at Klee the same way in genshin for a while Next up, i love how you had Ei pull the sword out of her like her burst its so cool also albedos fighting animation from the game I love how Scara uses his hat to hack… BEAUTIFUL Also i love how the cat is wanted lol But seriously HOW DO YOU DO THIS I CANT STOP WATCHING IT AHHHHH Good job to everyone who contributed in this and just saying GREAT WORK because i legit cried multiple times

[@blessyou5450]

Everytime I enjoy masterpiece like this it always brings me to tears. like I can feel it in my bones how much passions, dedications, time, effort, and ofc skills that being poured into it. Art surely makes life worth living huh🥰 I love the cyber futuristic theme (cmiiw lol), the concept with artificial humans, their characterization, the super smooth animation (rigging (?) must be hell huh), the action packed plot, basically everything. Literally screaming and clapping at Raiden shielding them with her.. spear/umbrella/weapon thingy, shes so badass. cant stop humming to theme song too, its just too good! Ive been replaying this animation too much lol

[@ReaderAndWriterLovers]

This anime really makes me cry.

[@jacobthehollow]

Thanks for putting these together. Also, you're way under appreciated. Please keep dong these. Please

[@Cocobomb1038]

The slap raiden gave albedo at the start got me crying😂

[@matth6163]

Can’t wait for your original anime series! When can we expect to hear more about it?

[@alanmellado938]

I would pay anything to watch an entire movie o full season of this!!! Love it so much!! Albedo having such a mood on this one an still being the best big bro to Klee!!

[@PokeGuy6]

Gotta admit, this was insane! The animation is so fluid and it's giving me RWBY vibes! The voicing acting was stellar and the fighting scenes were incredible! I hope we get to see more of this!

[@HaylennRobinson-ru6yb]

Dude I'm only like 37 seconds in and I just want to say this is beautiful. This is so pretty and it flows perfectly. Good job

[@scaras.cumslut]

14:17 LMAO ALBEDO GOT THE BSD TREATMENT AND HAS A FISHEYE SHOT??? HOW DID IN NOT NOTICE THAT

[@catastrophe__s]

I JUST NOW FOUND THIS IM SORRY BUT 3:02 MADE ME WHEEZE AND TEARS IMMEDIATELY STARTED FALLING HAHAHASFFSA 😭😭😭
