Show got discontinued by Studio Massa in February due to lack of funding and burn-out, seeing as he has been working on this show for 7 years now without any succes pitching it to a studio. So probably no more official stuff, but they community is still fairly active so fan-created wise theres still plenty!

I actually really appreciated how it didn't just turn into "Oh look, Maya is now fixed, she's going to play with her sisters and get lots of friends and live happily ever after!"

[@wiredz]

And the way she goes to hug her plushy and eavesdrops them anyways, because she still feels like missing out! This really catches the feeling of social anxiety and I respect that

[@mikethegoo]

I mean... I really connected to it. It's not fixed, but you do still feel like it's hopeless. You feel like she's still gonna be herself like she was at the start, but not someone who will end up unhappy with life. She will just turn out... Well... Fine... Not amazing, not horrible... Just... Okay. Because it's clear that there are at least a few people around her who refuse to let her be completely miserable, yet leave her alone enough to be able to decide for herself if she wants to work on getting less down and alone and/or lonely, and leave her alone enough to decide how hard she wants to work on it as well...

[@o0alessandro0o]

On the one hand, this is supposed to be the pilot of an animated series. If all the problems are solved in the pilot, then there is no series. On the other hand, Maya being able to interact with her sisters without a meltdown wouldn't mean she's "fixed". On the gripping hand, if Maya had said yes and gone play with her sisters, we wouldn't have gotten the absolutely amazing (if extremely sad) extended version of the theme song, so.

[@INU4SH4]

I was already aware this series existed a while ago through memes, but only 2 days ago I decided to finally give it a watch and it was great. I've just rewatched it today and I feel so melancholic knowing the series has basically been canceled (or best case scenario put on hiatus for a while). It's such a gem of an animation. Its narrative is pretty simple, but what makes it so special is how it mixes compelling characters with their flaws, backstories and development, European history, Japanese subculture, internet absurd humor, mental illness so effectively throughout its short duration. I'll keep my expectations low, but I would be extremely happy to see this getting the continuation it deserves, be it animated or even in the form of a comic. Being a character-drive simple story I really crave to see them develop even further. Although I feel really glad this pilot exists in the form it does and it had quite the impact in me, it's really sad to think of the wasted potential a full series of Ongezellig could have. This three characters really grew on me and I already feel I've known them for a long while and this feels like such a bitter and unfair goodbye. I don't really want to stretch this comment any longer but I just want to say: thank you, Studio Massa for giving us such a gem and such a lovable sisters. For now I'll be happy it happened and not sad it ended, but I really hope there will be a future attempt to make this show a reality however long it might take and I want to be here to support it if it happens. Wish you all the best, Studio Massa and thank you for the magnificent work. Hope we can get to watch more Ongezellig one day... One can only wish. EDIT: I couldn't really stay still and I digged around and found out the creator feels depressed and is sufferimg from severe burnout after working so long in this series. Can only imagine how hard it might have been making your vision a reality and animating this for four long years with very little funding. Once again, wish Studio Massa all the best and hope you get better soon.

[@viewer6709]

Absolutely agree.

[@mr.ocelotguy8995]

more than agree, after finishing this after only just discovering it it is fairly sad that this has taken a toll on the creator and that this pilot may be the only ongezellig that we get, but well i guess that's life hoping mr studio massa feels well

[@Rukiman_no16]

@@mr.ocelotguy8995 I honestly blame Studio Massa on this. If Mr Massa had just asked for marketing advise (hell, if he had just made social media posts or merchandising) he may had been able to continue it. He also stated that he no longer related to the series, so it may also be a creative choice. Anyways, it's better to die being a gemerald than live to become coal.

@@theduck7346 No, I'm as sorry as you hearing this to break this to you but, Ongezellig has less chance of returning than my ass finding a gf. Studio Massa declared the discontinuation 2 years ago, they're having no success in finding a studio to continue it; they're feeling really burnt out; they are having more success with other projects; and also, there was nevertheless a fanbase, but just not big enough. Ongezellig is a masterpiece, better than so many other indie animation shows nowadays. But it failed as an indie animation-it's merely considered a short movie/discontinued series now. I wish for Ongezellig to continue as much as you, but, I feel like it's pointless to be over optimistic, and also putting on pressure on a creator who clearly gave up on their project already is a very unhealthy thing to do.

After watching this pilot for the like 50th time I've only now just noticed something. Around 4:30 in the credits scene, Mymy and Coco play what looks to be a game similar to "Ludo" or "Pachisi" and If I remember the rules correctly, rolling a 6 lets you do three things: have another turn, get a peice out of the start area and or move a peice 6 spaces, Coco does this several times, so she rolls a 6, 6 times. This confirmed the suspicion I had of "I wonder if studio Massa hid something interesting in the game mymy and coco played at the end" Indeed, they did.

Contrary to the prevailing interpretaiton of the ending, I think that Maya IS going to get better. It's just that we've only been shown the very first step in that long process, and how hard-fought it was to get there. But in the end, even if she isn't ready to join her sisters directly, she still moved away from her computer and was listening in to them. This was the same girl who made herself believe she didn't need anyone, that she wasn't lonely. After all they went through that day, even if in the grand scheme of things it wasn't actually that much, it made a small part her realize what she was missing out on. We always focus on the big steps, the hero getting their happy ending, but what's more realistic in our lives is fighting hard just to take that first step. Yet that first step, no matter how small, is always the hardest. And so once you've taken it, how hard can another step be? And another and another, till you're out that door. Never underestimate the power of the first step yall, I think Maya'll be ok someday, even if we aren't going to be see it ourselves 🙏

Crazy underrated short film/pilot, probably one of the better ones I've seen on the site. I can tell the creator knows how to write interesting dynamics and their animation work is top-tier. If shows of FAR worse quality are able to get churned out and green lit; I hope this gem can continue, either with a team willing to take some of the workload off of the creator or at least letting them be properly compensated for their art. It could be a good idea to make an official English dub of the first episode to gauge interest in the show, as the amazing animation has carried it this far, but the indie animation scene is dominated by English works. Translating it could give the series a second wind and the attention it truly deserves! Even if the creator isn't interested in making new stuff for the show, it'd be nice for them to try out this avenue before closing the door on the project entirely, since it's clear it resonated with a lot of people.

this was a fantastic cartoon with many good moments, smoth animation, cool face expressions, good pacing, good humour and a very promising story. i really liked how mayas sisters helped her out with her school assignment, and how much coco cared about her, despite her being a rude person. hell, coco even apologized for snapping at maya, even tho maya insulted coco and called her an orphan and having no parents, something that deeply hurted the (seemingly) cheerful coco. but maya never apologized for insulted coco like that, she just wanted to push her away again, even if coco and mymy practically saved her butt by making her school assignment for her. as for the ending, it was truly heartbreaking: when coco invited maya for a nice game of grumpy with her and mymy, maya refused to join them and preferred to stay alone, only to have her be sad and to eavesdrop them through the wall, as they had fun. some people claim (wrongly) that if maya would've accepted her sisters request to play a game with them, that she would be magically ''fixed''. but thats the thing: even if she wanted to play with her sisters, it wouldnt mean that she's ''fixed'' or anything. she would still have social anxiety, she would still be an introvert with big trust issues, but she would just do the first step in socializing: by having some fun with her siblings who love and care about her. this ending was even more sad and tragic because of that, and because maya isnt willing to sit with her sisters to have a small bit of fun together, as a family. (even tho she wanted to hear what they were doing, as she was eavesdropping in the wall, so she secretly wanted to be with them, but she wanted to be alone more than that) very sad situation, no matter how you put it. i would like to see more of this great cartoon tho, and to see it become a big series (hopefully).

4:08 This...... This just hits me in a weird way. The way she wants so socialize with her sisters, but needing that distance between them. Like, I want to hang out, but I don't want to be there. And the new lyrics: "I know myself, and I don't recommend her to anyone", "I'm getting addicted to isolating myself", "Am I traumatizing myself?" It's a little scary how I can empathize with so much of this at my age. But in the end, Thank you Studio Massa. I've been rewatching this pilot/show multiple times since I found part 6 a week ago. (edit: A week-ish ago. Doing the math that sentence didn't make sense.) P.S. Any way we can get "Ik Ben Het Maar" on Spotify?

I've always cringed at the way these issues are usually tackled in most media. Ongezellig truly is one of those hidden gems that just hits every beat PERFECTLY. It's such a fascinatingly amazing portrayal of these mental health issues. I know I'm rambling, but I'm just in awe of just how well everything is handled so well, but maybe it's because I'm so used to socially anxious people just being the butt end of the joke. You can tell that the creator has genuine experience with these sorts of issues, and they just portray everything so perfectly, somehow being respectful while also being ridiculously funny. They really cooked a michelin-star worthy meal here.

It’s weird that nobody’s talking about how brilliant 0:38 is. Its barely a relief that she isn’t actually on the roof because it’s such a clear picture of how sad Maya’s situation is.

i really like how coco isnt just portrayed as the dumb happy one the whole series, shes just a genuinely happy person that cares about her sister and even has her own problems i really love how maya isnt instantly fixed by the end, but you can tell shes now on a better track to improving. just a little spark can go a long way in the long run. i really connect to this especially from personal experience

If only I knew about this serie earlier, I would have give so much money for it. Dude litteraly gave me the envy to learn Dutch. I will remember this serie as the precious gem that could have been bigger but destiny said "nope". I'm so sad mate, all my friends that watch it asks me why it's so short. The more I rewatch it, the more I see little cute things. And of course Maya gives the "that's litteraly me" feeling to so many people. If I were millionaire I would found studio Massa for few seasons.

[@HansHammertime]

Very well written throughout all of the episodes. I was actually afraid she was gonna suddenly be fine with hanging out with her sisters, but her saying no is a far more realistic and emotionally rich way to end it. The final song is also a gut punch, as someone who’s experienced the same trauma she puts herself through. Great work all around!

Another day another zellig rewatch

[@Man-Tilda]

During its 6 parts, it's able to capture multiple theme's\moods that all work together to make something, while still comedic in nature, also rather ground in its depiction of social anxiety\the kind of affect it can have on someone. These talks with fake people inside her head, as if she knew them for a long time, helps portray this feeling of loneliness. Maya wants to make friends, yet to afraid about the thoughts of another person, so she creates people in her head to cope with that idea, even if she knows they aren't real. While this is only one example, i think it shows a clear idea and understanding for the kind of depiction that Studio Massa had in mind with a character like Maya, and it makes for a interesting dynamic between the comedy, and ' Heavy Topics' they show to the viewer.

Dit is een absoluut juweeltje van een korte film. Hoewel het stom is dat we geen officieel vervolg zullen zien (tenminste op het moment dat ik dit schrijf), heeft deze zesdelige korte film mij meer geholpen dan welk ander medium dan ook. Ooit. De manier waarop angst door Maya wordt uitgebeeld, samen met haar toestand, is ongelooflijk menselijk. Ik denk niet dat iemand die naar deze opmerkingen komt, zegt: "Red ons alstublieft!" gaat alles doen. Wat hier echt moet gebeuren, is waarderen wat we in deze korte film hebben: een bitterzoet fragment van een ervaring die velen kennen, die eindigt op een manier die veel aan de verbeelding overlaat. Bedankt, Studio Massa. Ik ben benieuwd naar je andere projecten! This is an absolute GEM of a short film. While it sucks that we won't see an official continuation (at least at the time I'm writing this) this 6-part short film has helped me more than any other media. Ever. The way anxiety is portrayed through Maya, along with her condition is incredibly human. I don't think anyone coming to these comments going "please save us!" is gonna do anything. What should really be done here is appreciate what we have in this short film: a bittersweet snippet of an experience that many are familiar with, which ends in a way that leaves much to the imagination. Thank you, Studio Massa. I look forward to seeing your other projects!

Idk if Massa ever reads his comments, but if he does I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for creating this absolute hidden gem of an animation. 2024 has been one of the hardest years of my life, and when I discovered Ongezellig around 3 months ago it genuinely made me enjoy life more. What’s weird is that I don’t even usually enjoy animations, but something about this series made me experience a certain type of happiness that I haven’t felt in years, I honestly don’t even know how to describe it. God bless you, Studio Massa, I wish you all the best.
