Impressive designs here! The T. rexes looking like samurai and the Dimetrodon looking like koi says so much about who created them, and why. They seem like they were intended to serve as living works of art rather than accurate representations of extinct animals, and that’s a very interesting angle to go in.

[@cemilhan725]

Dimetrodon looks kind of like an Edaphosaurus.

[@Serpentking789]

The Big Boss Dimetrodon (or Edaphosaurus or whatever) has fat jowls like a male Tegu lizard, and that detail combined with their koi-like coloration suggests that these sail-lizards that have since found success in the abandoned city were meant to be garish living art pieces or exotic pets (they're basically glorified iguanas).

[@MercuryAlphaInc]

If you look at it from a Japanese cultural perspective, them being so colourful is basically a reference to the Yakuza and their tattoos.

@@enfieldlammergeierDon't be so sure about how long power sources like Hydro, Solar, and Wind will actually last, those systems require a lot more maintenance and repairs to keep them running behind the scenes, Solar less so, but even then they would need to be cleaned and maintained for them to operate for much longer than 10 years. Also powerlines, whether above or below ground would eventually be damaged.

But what really mesmerized me is the color-palette. I think the contrast between blue and redtones is very cyberpunk-esque and beautiful by default, but you managed to make it stand out even more than I'm used to. All those magentas, reds, purples and blues. Didn't think colors would be the main-thing to be mesmerized by when the theme isn't even about those, but daaamn. It looks so incredible!

The T-Rex in this is absolutely stunning, and it’s proof that you don’t need to forgo scientific accuracy to make an interesting design.

@@LecherousLizard apparently full feathered Dinosaurs isn't as "accurate" as it was thought.

[@Faelrin]

@@LecherousLizard For dromaeosaurids (Velociraptor, Deinonychus, etc) yes, they absolutely should be. Relatives like Microraptor, and Zhenyuanlong had them, and Velociraptor was preserved with quill knobbs which suggests it did as well. Check out Prehistoric Planet's takes on those. For T. rex, it's still pretty much up in the air. The large consensus now is that they might not have had them due to their larger size, of if they did, it might have been something like an elephants hair. The only skin remains we have of it are of small patches of tiny scales. That said many of its earlier tyrannosauroid relatives like Dilong, and Yutyrannus have evidence of feathers or filaments. Basically absence of evidence might not be evidence of absence. Without extensive fossil material in this regard, there's room for interpretation yet still, until new discoveries challenge it in either direction.

[@CephalonAxii]

Yeah it's kickass. I will never understand how some people have a problem with this design and say, "This isn't what the T-Rex looked like! Bullshit." Well, duh. I mean seriously, if we bring logic back into this conversation, this technically isn't a T-rex. This world which obviously takes place in a distant dystopian future, somehow, managed to bring Dinosaurs back but much like Jurassic Park, couldn't make exact clones of the Dinosaurs of old due to how impossible it is to just re-create Dinosaurs via their DNA. It it were that easy, we would have already done it. So they filled the gaps in the DNA with other things and created creatures that are similar to the original Dinosaurs, but are still technically Lab Experiment Monsters. Hence, the reason why this Theropodian Dinosaur that resembles a T-rex, has a crest/horns. Among other things.

wow can't wait to check this out when you all finish it. Amazing visuals and sound design! Thank you for creating this.

[@KyoryuLimited]

Thank you for watching this!

[@bluesheepwolfie307]

This is so gorgeously animated and the designs are stunning omg!!! I can't wait to see this!

[@macabrevoid]

This project looks absolutely fantastic!!! I love the setting and the animation is absolutely beautiful! The Shogun Rex design and Sumo/Yakuza-esque Dimetrodon is super sick. I can’t wait to see more updates out of this series, definitely gonna support it on patreon!

[@ignika84]

What is this series anyway? Is a video game, a show, or what?

[@riotbreaker3506]

This is absolutely incredible, and exactle what dinosaurs need in terms of storytelling and creative but accurate reconstruction. I do find it funny that they're both North American species, when Japan has so many incredible fossils

[@catpoke9557]

Yup but dimetrodon and T. rex are just so beloved by everyone so it makes sense

[@pn5705]

We’re probably going to see a Tricamurai or Ankyloronin. Not exactly Japanese dinos, but Triceratops and Ankylosaurus are equally as famous as Rex that we’ll certainly see them.

[@adareif1141]

I think that detail could pretty easily be explained away by background details in the setting. We see multiple posters depicting humans and dinosaurs existing together, so this seems to be a world where dinosaurs are still around into the modern age and are potentially domesticated and/or transported around the world similar to real animals today. Animals from other parts of the world are present everywhere in the modern age, we have dog species that have been exported from their original countries of origin to new countries all the time. It reminds of me the scene in the film I AM LEGEND, where Will Smiths character encounters a wild lion in New York years after the end of the world. Clearly this lion was kept in a zoo, and went on to escape and continue living on and potentially having babies in a setting that is extremely far removed from its original habitat. So I’m this world, dinosaurs are as naturally present as dogs and cats are to us. Who’s to say that they didn’t have a zoo or sanctuary in Japan that had some North American dinosaurs, and those got out and populated Japan after whatever apocalypse ended this world. I’m really excited to see what this project does with these concepts, and I seriously can’t get over how cinematic and beautifully made this short was. Such a beautiful and interesting world that I can’t wait to explore further as more is released about it! Wow I can’t believe I didn’t even read the video description before I posted this comment. Dinosaurs were genetically re-engineered by the humans Jurassic Park style. Still, that’s explains why there would be North American dinosaurs in Japan. Still, it’s a great concept and I can’t wait to see how they handle it, and hopefully that detail gives the developers and artists freedom to put any cool dinosaur from any part of the world into their game. Dinosaurs are sick as fuck and I can’t wait to see the designs and gameplay elements that bring them to life

[@PushSomeHeavyWeight]

I’m all for this the design the emotion of the dinosaur through the way they act and cool setting I really hope this is able to make it

I just want to immerse myself in this world and learn more about what happened. Love the reverse palaeontology angle too 😊🦖🎉

[@assaulthetz]

Imagine not just JP, but the whole world about Dinosaurs and their artistic designs, I want to see an egyptian Spinosaurus, I want to see a Megalosaurus but in Brigand or Knight-like design. Just it explodes in my mind why we didn't do that before. This untapped world is so amazing.

[@Manda1771]

Not sure if the dimetrodon at 1:35 has a name but I'll call him Boss Dimitri. Also love how much personality you give each of the creatures with just the visuals with out having some sort of narration over it.

[@Yaratito]

What about king cannibal.

[@pterosaurr]

this is beautifully animated

[@ISAFMobius18]

Dimetrodon technically not a dinosaur but i like the concept a lot. the Rex looking at his old image flickering, remember the old days with humans. I really hope the creatures so more humanization in their behaviors, being around them and possibly studying them (crossing my fingers they talk lol)

[@isaacm7934]

This has to be possibly the best 3D indi animation I seen on KZbin also I really love the design for the t rex I'm now really excited for the series also the animation is very impressive

[@bonereaperlagiallosaurus1987]

*This is probably one of the most best looking dinosaur animation I have ever seen and it’s very beautiful* 🥹

[@asherzerbib3461]

Lovin’ this. My only nitpick is that the dimetrodon are somewhat more resembling edaphosaurus, the main prey item of the former. Other than that, the armor style skin of the t-rexes were pretty unique and that look in the baby’s eyes when he saw the dimetrodon swarming around them both is priceless!

[@shazam3218]

My heart went up and skipped a beat when the rex tossed the Dimetrodon like it was nothing. The animation style, colors, models, EVERYTHING looks beautiful! I love this so much!

[@Mr.Estiverne]

Did I just watch a Samurai T.rex fight an army of obese Dimetrodons in a dark alley way in what I assume to be TOKYO JAPAN??? Coolest sh¡t ever

[@KyoryuLimited]

Ahahaha yes !!

So creatively flawless, loving the visuals and design of the dinos. Can’t wait to see how this turns out 🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🏾‼️

[@bigboix4177]

Seriously we think of animals back then as dumb n stuff but i love this video on how it depicts them as intelligent. As a wanna be amature paleontologist i can totally see dimetrodon having a structure similar to such but not militarized like that. And the parental instincts of the T-rex and the overall social intelligence of predators and their environmental intelligence and how the little baby acts "immature" indicating that they infact learn through wisdom. Sorry to nerd out but hot damn i love the portrayal.

[@laseriedeladilophosaure9246]

Oui mais il y a pas vraiment de preuve directe que tyrannosaurus rex que le t.rex était aussi un intelligent malheureusement sont cerveau nous prouve plus tôt le contraire en réalité.

This is an absolute marvel. Never have I seen a private animated show with such detail, love, passion and creativity as this. Each frame is like a painting with the gorgeous lights, a stunning layout and intricate details to this dystopian Japanese city. 10/10 trailer, doesn’t show too much but enough to hype not just the stunning visuals but the action and lore. How were these dinosaurs made and why? What happened to humanity? What will happen to the genetically engineered and mutated reptiles now seemingly taking over? A show with questions and imageries like this is surely one to earn a 10/10.

[@baconboi4482]

I love how the dinosaur designs looks like they’re from Fossil Fighters games. It’s dope as hell

Now this, THIS is how you do stylized dinosaurs. Dinosaurs don't NEED to be realistic in *every* piece of media. But they should still look like what they are supposed to be. Not whatever the hell they were in that movie with Adam Driver.

[@catpoke9557]

Yes, the fact they are all inaccurate but immediately recognizable as the animal that they actually are is so cool

I’m Hella excited for this, not only the Tyrannosaurs accurate(minus the Samurai armor) their postures seem accurate and the Dimetrodons are so cool too, I love the fact how the first one on the Car was eating a baby which we know Dimetrodons were cannibals. And I think most people misses it but at 1:03 there was a picture of a Human riding what seems to be a Gallimimus

[@nyctus2024]

What I love about Kyryu's lore is it's very similar to Rain World. Both are in a dystopian/post-apocolyptic setting, both where you now live in the ruins of a lost civilzation. In Kyoryu, you're a dinosaur in the ruins of the fallen human race, while in Rain World, ur a slugcat in the ruins of a lost ancient civilization, that died out way before the world of Rain World Existed, while you avoid vicious predators and take shelter from deadly rain.

[@chubbychelbo1521]

Omg a LoVE this. The fact that it's Japan and the Dinos have physical characteristics that are very distinctively inspired by Japanese culture and aesthetic yet also subtle enough to not look silly. The Dino sitting there like a fat mob boss, covered in beautiful markings reminiscent of giant Koi, the T Rex with scales and horn that make it appear to be a samurai....it's just *chefs kiss*
