The entire intro had my heart shaking. The visual of the people going crazy and trying to leave the planet along with the audio of the screaming. It really put me through a shock. The 2 found dead in their home not wanting to live in a world where death was guaranteed but also didn't want to be forgotten. Felt so relatable. Final Space is amazing but was done dirty, I have a feeling this show will actually get to be completed the way Olan wants it to be.

In a weird way it makes you see Final Space in a new way too, like sure this isn't"actually" Final Space sequel, but by god seeing what happens to a world Invictus comes for really makes you despise him even more and just want the heroes to be able to fight back and finally put that monster down for good.

[@tylerdurdin8069]

Sounds like the fan base has daddy issues too. It would suck as an artist to learn that your fans only like you because they relate but that's unrelated to the art itself. So if his characters grow and he can't get his fan base to follow suit and pull them into a break through with him he loses them completely. It's a large task and that is what separates great art from cartoons.

[@travishudson9796]

Man, the couple that lived their lives the best they could trying to find some sort of solace in their dying world really got me. You can see their life story just by looking at the house with how they lived. The world buried them in darkness and they put up walls of light and streamers to celebrate. And then they went out on their own terms after expressing their wish to never be forgotten. I just can't sing enough praises for this.

[@falcore91]

I didn’t get the impression that they were trying to bait anyone into discovering them. Sure they left the message in case anyone found them.

[@Hellsong89]

That is pretty much cliché at this point, story old as humanity. Idea created by early humans who had average life expectancy of 35years to live unless simple scratch would kill them early. What can you do in that 35 years specially if you are just simple peasant nobody, so you are remembered. In truth there is very little. Can you for instance even name your great grandparents or generations before that, with out them being some note worthy general or soldier, inventor or related to some famous person in general? Still if you are good parent couple generation down the line might remember you with love, that is pretty much best you can ask for, specially these days. You could go with infamy route but that probably wont be good idea since it will curse your family down the line. Only option aside that is become mad lad, but that takes character you most likely wont have, but what you can do is forge your own live to be what you desire, make things with your own hands and build for instance homestead for your children to live middle of nature, away from corruption of the cities and global world, being self sufficient as possible and make with your own sweat, blood and tears place for them to grow safe and learn the skills they will need.. specially if shit hits the fan. That might be the maddest of lads who can achieve it, since it aint easy, so i raise hat to you if you can manage that.

[@wadahmohamed975]

Same here It resonates so much with Bisan who is surviving for 105 days now, she said "I don't want to be forgotten" while knowing the world had abandoned them to face the genocide in gaza, "They left us" in this Pilot tells it all, and it burns my heart...

If you think this was good, season 1 of Final Space will blow you away! It takes a couple of episodes to get into it. The main character is an over-the -top idiot, and it's too easy to initially write him off as an annoying moron. But after a few episodes, you realize that he's the "lovable idiot with a heart of gold" trope done to perfection! And by the end of the season, you'll realize that this silly cartoon has taken you on a roller coaster of emotions. The voice at the end (her father) is the main character from Final Space (Gary Goodspeed). The ship (or rather its AI) is a major character as well, as is "Kingslayer", although he's just a kid in Final Space.

So it has to be something else.

I love that Bowie is pretty well timed comic relief fun and light hearted but knows when for the most part. I love him

[@scarletweb2106]

Yeah me too Bowie is so adorable

[@deficit06]

Yeah, specially in stories like this, timing a good comic moment, without destroying the drama is specially hard to do! Kudos to the creators!

[@Scrofar]

It's incredibly rare for the quirky, quippy sidekick character to still have a lot of heart and sensibility in them. They wrote Bowie so well.

[@EdvinasMileikis]

Right when I heard Avocato's and HUE's voice I bursted out crying. The animation, the story, voice acting EVERYTING held me in my seat and the emotion of I was witnessing did not let go. Olan, I need you to make some kind of monthly payment so I can sponsor these series every month with what I can. This needs to be a series

[@brimstonemarcussternklev7407]

Same here. And also references to gary and tribore. Made me cry aswell. Nothing has moved me the way final space did. It was just so much heart put into it. Same here. I get the same feeling. I appretiate Olan Rogers and his ideas ALOT and im so glad that this popped up in my flow

[@Rinnn3]

The Soda Parlor reference at 11:18 breaks my heart. Incredible writing, acting, voicing, everything. As always, thank you Olan.

[@itsjustben772]

i genuinely hope this gets a full season. after seeing this, im completely hooked. the animation is gorgeous, the designs are so eye catching and the voice acting is music tomy ears. cant wait to see what comes next!

[@bluesyleader8633]

It’s amazing how much you can care about a character in a span of 20 minutes.

[@Dude_Slick]

I couldn't bring myself to watch it straight through. We've had the ethnically diverse female protagonist so shoved down our throats as of late, that I just kinda cringe now when I see it. Never saw Free Space, but I gotta wonder if the white male lead isn't what got it canceled.

[@KuchiKopium]

I understand your hesitation, but she's a character, not a propaganda piece. I too am weary of all the agenda lately, and this wasn't that. The dialogue could be polished up just a tad, but it was a heckuva good watch from beginning to end.

[@Dude_Slick]

@@KuchiKopium Yeah, I watched it soon after posting my comment. It was okay.

[@pseudosurgeon3758]

As a person who rarely cries at all - this single pilot almost made me cry twice. This is art. This is beautiful, the artstyle, the dialog, the characters, the voice acting - it`s simply perfect. I hope you guys raise the full ampunt you need to make it into a full series. Thank you for your hard work, you made something truly exceptional

[@nathanhendry1302]

Lol! I cried I loved it! Hope we get more of this?❤

[@tanya75423]

Final Space was probably the biggest band aid i got after my father passed (came out like a couple months later, perfect timing really). I just wanna say thank you for inspiring me and so many others by being a stand up guy and an awesome creative :)

It's like im watching a Netflix series ... Mr Olan you have my subscription sir

This series has so much potential please don't stop, this is top notch animation, story telling and build up. Can't wait for it to be picked up. As I will always say, PREMISE!! PROMISE!!! ACTION!!!! THIS IS WHAT LIVE FOR.

[@GlorianaLovejoy]

Already backed you on Kickstarter, didn't even hesitate. One thing your projects have had in common all of these years is true heart & soul, and I want to see more of that in the entertainment world right now. You're the man for the job, and we all know it. Absolutely fantastic pilot! Onward and upward my dude!

[@seanjones6326]

I grew up watching balloon shop. Been following you ever since. It’s probably been a year since I checked back in. You never cease to amaze me with your creativity, Olan. I hope you’re doing well.

[@NicholaiGuerranov]

I like the similarities between Godspeed and Final Space. Comic relief robot character check, BA cat character check, talking space ship check. I'm sure there will be other parallels and I am looking forward to it!

[@JeremyPvideos]

The backgrounds and storms in this pilot are simply gorgeous and really do look like paintings. Everything is simple yet complex and detailed. The brushwork and textures are beautiful. The story is there, the consequences are there, the world is lived in and dirty and harsh. Sound design is fantastic. All the references and callbacks to Final Space but also your personal life is perfection. Voice acting is always a plus. Bowie is probably my favorite. Congrats to you Olan and all of your teams on Godspeed!

[@djbigphill]

i stumbled upon this at 3am and was mesmerized!!! This was incredible…. story telling, animation, audio, directing..everything about this was incredible

[@PizzaBeardParty]

This is long overdue, but it dawned on me today that I never finished watching this..... and I'm so glad I finally did. Brilliant & massively impressive (as expected). Always on board with anything you create, man! You're a core inspiration and beacon of optimism in the face of gnarly adversity. Grateful for you, Olan! Hope we get to reconnect and hang again sooner than later.

[@timothybowers1947]

The heart of Final Space with the evolution of time, experience and an ever-growing group of excellent artists and story tellers. This is wonderful, emotional and moving. Everyone involved in this just, thank you. I can't wait to see what the next step brings, be it with this chapter or whatever project comes after this one. I know I won't be disappointed.

[@AverageThinking]

It’s good to hear the glee in Olan’s voice when he’s playing Bowie

[@ember-fire7583]

This Pilot is a beautiful display of one of the reasons why I love animation so much as a genre. Not only was it breathtakingly gorgeous, it was a lovely mix of some of the things that make us human, and how we can express and explore them in stories like this. The line "Life has a way of taking the things that you love the most" hit me so hard, as well as that entire scene with Kingslayer explaining how he was Iris's father's best friend. There are a lot of difficult parts about being human, and the universe/world we live in, but if anything the fact that we're still going despite *everything* shows how strong our will to live and persevere is. Wonderful job to Olan and the entire cast and crew that worked on this, because it is simply amazing to see.

[@paracanthushepatus1547]

Omg I cant believe indie animation can be this good

[@jimmydean7219]

Damn it Olan, how DARE you be this talented? This seems to be a beautiful spiritual successor. This was SO well done, from the “camera” sweeps, to the sound design, and especially the writing and story. I thought you were extremely talented with the Final Space pilot, but your skills have improved even more since then. You deserve every scintilla of praise you get, and I wish you the utmost success. Godspeed, sir.

After spending the last 3 days watching a season of final space a night with some people who had never seen it, we cried, we laughed, we clasped hands... but in the end that sense of longing for more was still there.

This is a perfect homage to Final Space, your other past works, and a vision of what comes next. As usual, Olan, you make me laugh, cry, and feel a lot more than I normally do. So first of all, how dare you. And thank you. Keep it up. Godspeed, Olan Rogers.
