Ode to Salmon Run

i think its great how everyone lives different splatoon lives but somehow comes together to have the same shared salmon run experience somehow lmao

Aww, strangers coming together to commit genocide and steal their babies.

Truly talented character design comes from being able to tell every character apart (and their personalities!) without even using COLORS.

I think because of this line, I've actually had IRL Salmon Run nightmares

[@PFX.]

That last inkling being eaten by a Maw, with everyone else dead, just being too slow to throw that bomb…. It’s like looking into a mirror. It’s scary.

[@cromanticheer]

I relate to both the poor neurotic octoling and the dead-eyed, tired inkling so freakin' much. EDIT: Wait, no, I relate to ALL of these dorks.

[@littlesongbirdX3]

this is my favourite salmon run thing ever! The style is great, the timing is so fun and no-one inking the walls hurts on a personal level

[@joshjo9405]

Always paint the walls at arc polaris

[@hikaru9624]

I try to cover the walls as I ink the area.

[@GoopyGoober-gf7hv]

This one single short animation has so much damn personality, it's comparable to the game itself, simply incredible. Continue doing more of these mate, adequate job so far ^^.

In the last game, salmon run felt like a fun mode, but now it just feels like a job.

[@Splatoonspyro]

The job feeling makes Splatoon feel more life-like

[@SmugRock96]

even better. now Nintendo has an even more immersive experience than ever

[@Notzthefam]

I love how each character is drawn uniquely to represent their lives even their eyes are drawn different it's charming.

[@thegoon3840]

I have never seen an animation describe the salmon run experience so damn well before lmfao

[@ItsKirbinTime]

By far the most expressive animation I've seen in a while! It really captures the chaos of Salmon Run, I love it!

[@theboredbrawler4821]

Ayo, ItsKirbinTime in the comments?! Hi!

[@crayfishinbruhzil9871]

Can’t stop rewatching this video. My greatest weakness is videos with editing that perfectly sync to their music.

SAMEEE

[@tea_n_ink]

i saw this on twitter and was laughing through the entire time, it's so goofy and funny! i love how charmingly the characters are draw

[@Mecceldorf]

No joke, no hyperbole, this is peak Chaos Carnival energy.

[@mono7t2]

There’s a INSANE amount of personality here and I love how you perfectly (and creatively) matched up the flow of the animation to the beat of the music! Also funny how the Splash is the one yelling at the Charger, Luna and Brush to paint the walls lmao.

[@nickg5341]

This feels like the intro of a 2000s Cartoon Newtwork show and I’m obsessed

Poor Tired Inkling...To be splatted just two days before retirement.

[@anstupid4093]

The annoyed, experienced one is quite literally me. My inkling wears those goggles and has that hairstyle, and I'm always so fucking done with my teammates bullshit.

[@felipefiscato9573]

This is wonderful, everyone should know about this

[@Lettucem3n]

Salmon run might very well be capable of giving actual PTSD

[@level0maid]

This has to be the most personality I've ever seen crammed into 4 characters in this short of a time. I was able to relate to literally all of them.

[@thefunkyfish5640]

I love how much you managed to convey about the characters from those flashes right at the start

[@definitelynotascammer]

I love the little details like how one of them freaks about the walls and it switching between the stages in the beginning

[@ozzypuff8957]

I love this waaay to much. Perfect representation of how the actual game is

[@r.p.7174]

This has got to be one of the greatest things I have ever seen come out of the Splatoon fandom.

[@crazycanyon3028]

This captures the starting feeling once the time to go to work screen starts the sinking feeling once you notice your teammates having a little bit of a internet/skill issue the stress once things start to look bad and the compleat disappointment seeing the that’s a wrap screen

Ok the timing is immaculate and I’ve never actually noticed the subtle changes in the music before you accentuated them with the animation! Awesome work!

[@InsertQuarterPlz]

I relate to the last squid in the beginning. Salmon Run is hell without strategies

[@frikixu568]

The inkling with expirience yelling at their friends to paint the walls is just like me with my fruends, fr, fr...

This is so good! I love the amount of personality you managed to stuff into these 55 seconds, looking forward to more!

this is so cute and fun!! it reminds me of some of my own splat ocs who have a very similar dynamic during salmon run, if i ever find the time I’d love to make my own animatic inspired by this one!

I actually played this on .25 speed to appreciate all the stills. Love how much effort was put into even frames that flash on screen for a fraction of a second.

I like the part where they're all slacking while serious inkling is trying to hold a meeting before they go down because it's just like real life work meetings lol And the garbage weapon rollout too, classic Grizzco. Luna blaster some sniper or other Inkbrush and then the token good weapon (I think that's a splash?)
