*LET'S GOOOOOOOO* This was my first time working as a storyboard artist and it was so surreal to see my hilariously badly animated 'storyboards' get turned into works of art by the animators Quack and Suji! Glad to see so many ppl enjoy this 😭 Also I got to animate one single shot and it's the Venti flashback at 2:20. Subu liked how I animated him in the storyboard and was like 'hey wanna animate this?' and i was like 'A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one' fun fact: the 'ahem' at 1:49 wasn't in the script. Ariana (furina's VA) actually coughed in the recording but didnt remove it from the audio file. I heard it and was like 'hehe im gonna do a funny' and put it into the storyboard as a joke. i didnt expect it to make it to the final product LMAO

I feel like this is an unofficial homage to the Genshin VA Among Us games in a way. I laughed so much throughout the whole short. Amazing job, everyone!

[@estebanramirez1178]

Except every VA are themselves instead of their character. Unless you’re Griffin Burns. I swear that guy channels Tartaglia. The confidence, sass, and intimidation coming from his “Are you ready to be wrong?” is chilling.

[@user-nh4wg8lx2j]

it's homage to ace attorney, specifically the anime series.

[@gojihead3195]

It would be funny if Furina's VA falsely accuse someone all the time

[@Sage3356]

4:20 dear God, that Scream was immaculately made, i truly felt the distress in furina's voice!

[@IshimurA99]

The battle between furina and nahida that we've been waiting for so long has finally arrived and I have to admit that it's both a bit tense and very funny, the voice acting is very stable and the animation is harmonious, that alone is more than enough to see how interesting this video is

[@1mol831]

Nahida not yanfei though. Why…

[@cydzerlight1383]

Im sure the VA improvised the scripts XD

[@nunyabusiness3652]

That was way too cute. Neuvillette treating it seriously the whole time, what a sweet goober, look at him learning how to play. Furina being 120% about everything. And Zhongli at the end was perfect.

[@milchesarreal6964]

Furina has two moods, being down to earth (slightly if ever) and 120%, no in between 😂 Even if it is just game night 🤣

[@nitromiyazaki]

I mean, you’re challenging a literal god of wisdom. Nahida is basically Sherlock Holmes.

[@kariissmol9172]

[@eleden3356]

Finding out that this was written before 4.2 makes it so interesting because the writing here actually would feel like it was written during 4.2 etc. I can only imagine the first time the Archons came in and were like "Let's play!" Furina had multiple panic attacks internally but as she had her duty to do she had to act casually and relaxed as if talking to equals which is funky and sounds in-character. At least to me :]

[@Luucarii]

hi hi (furina’s VA for the animation here!) i actually recorded two separate takes of the entire script, one before 4.2 had dropped and one after having played the AQ and while this doesn’t align itself with canon directly, i did record furina’s lines on that second take with knowledge of the AQ in mind and while only adds minor layers to an overall fun, silly animation, it’s still a performance I’m extremely proud of and am glad to see people pick apart small things like that in analyzing the short!!
