[Splatoon SFM] One Last Announcement

*Japanese subtitles are courtesy of M. Daimonzi (Dai・X). I'm glad that I was able to relive the memories you had with Splatoon. You were so heartwarming to me about these words...”perhaps endings always give birth to new beginnings.” A truth that hurts, but it is always for a good cause in the end.

The night falls in the Plaza, squids talking, octolings walking, smallfrys dancing, jellyfishes just being themselves, everyone having fun. It's been an unusual night, since the Plaza and Turf Battles doesn't see much people really late into the night. Hey, heard that sound? It's Inkopolis News time! Let's go live with Callie and Marie in the studio! I wonder what's the news...wait, is this the end? Like, really? The Squid Sisters are signing off...why is it so sad c'mon? The Squid Sisters aren't about sadness, that's it! Do it like Marie! Put the music back on! Let's have a fun broadcast like the many others before. The Squid Sisters are about a perfect mix of sensations. Callie's joy and happiness and Marie's funny personality and sarcasm create such an cool mood in the studio, don't you think? Wait what? Off the Hook and Deep Cut left messages for the Squid Sisters? Cool! Both of them made quick cameos though. Off the Hook got straight to the point, Pearl and Marina mentions about our squid parties and the messages we made with ink and thanked them for the fun times they had together. Deep Cut is also on the block, Shiver gave us a good night, but especially for Marie, their boss, i'm not sure this is sarcasm or something, but Shiver sounded honest this time. Shiver and Frye seem to have overcome the IanBGM incident, but I can't say the same for OTH huh? But calm down! Big Man was just kidding!! Their broadcast ends happily with the ol' catch ya later! (atleast I hope, who knows what happens when the cameras are off...) The night ends with the Squid Sisters as supposed to, one last goodbye, we will stay fresh, now forever, applauses echoes from the stages and the Plaza itself, Maritime Memory plays and Callie and Marie watch everything from the studio window, They may not know it, but they did it. They don't know how many lifes they've changed. There is nothing more than to be grateful for everything they did for us, now things are going to be different from now on. This the end of an era.

It took around 80-90 hours to set up everything in SFM, I thought I didn't do much, but looking back I realized that I did A LOT, there was even CUTlRBTree Overflow striking again...
It's weird to think the shutdown happened 1 month ago already, but finally I can just talk about Splatoon and my history with it. Splatoon is one of my favorite franchises of all time. Every time I look back and see Splatoon 1, I wonder if it's the same franchise as the other 2. It gives a nostalgic feeling of a time very different from ours, but not too distant. In general, on the surface it just looks like a silly 3rd person shooter made by Nintendo, yeah, I thought that at first, until I got into it a little later. This game changed my life on levels I could never imagine, an impeccable lore, awesome characters and backstories that I could connect with, a shoulder that I could lean on in the worst moments of my life. In addition, there's wonderful art that exists out there and the beautiful animations that I see were and still are memorable! With my amateur experience in animation and a decent experience in programming (two of my passions) and for almost 9 years writing my stories and scripts, it's a lesson that I now put into practice on this channel. I was behind the scenes for a long time, and now I decided it was time to get on the scene once and for all, joining and marking my place in this incredible community! One Last Announcement is a kind of tribute for all the good times I had with the OG Splatoon, The shut-down felt like a farewell to the Squid Sisters from the news.
One of the first animation ideas I had even before this channel was a thing, now real, here. I'm not going to lie, it was really hard to came with a script like this, but like, really really hard. That was one of the reasons I wasn't able to bring this animation much sooner. This time I don't think I need to apologize for the lack of content. Actually, I need to thank you all by the support even with the last video being uploaded 1 month ago. I'm really impressed how "Acht's Memories" did so well, There is no other way to be more grateful than releasing a new animation for each of you. Thank you.

[@greshaminc156]

That was a really nice animation. The first game has brought people a lot of memories, a maritime memory in other words

[@jeellyciouss]

No doubt, "a Maritime Memory that only those who embarked can tell". It's quite comforting to look back sometimes, the original description was 3000 characters over the limit, so I couldn't tell much about my experience, splatfests, songs like the one from the Lobby, City of Color, Squid Squad and its famous "Splattack!" or even the one from the Wii U menu are very memorable!

[@Cookie19isdepressed]

[@ventrue6516]

The Wii U community will not let Splatoon die as long people will go online with Pretendo.

[@boombox4037]

Goodbye splatoon you will be remembered

[@---Ari_Animates---]

As a Splatoon veteran (4+ years)... STAY FRESH!!!! we'll always miss you, Splatoon one. Thank you for making my childhood the amazing way it is. We love you. Thank you, Splatoon.

[@Squidki382]

Splatoon 1 was the best splatoon for me, I'm going to miss this game It had a lot of content that other splatoons don't have I will never forget it

[@jeellyciouss]

Splatoon 1 just feels so different from Splatoon 2 or 3 that it creates its own charm that they don't have. The ending credits are always amazing, but none can beat the first one, I just love Maritime Memory that much. When I beat Splatoon for the first time a loong time ago, It took a few seconds until I realized that I had to shoot ink on the screen to see the credits hahah.

[@Squidki382]

​@@jeellycioussI think what made splatoon 1 credits better was maritime memory Besides, we will no longer be able to see the concerts with the amiibos :(

[@jeellyciouss]

@@Squidki382 This isn't an issue for Splatoon 1, you can use the amiibos in offline mode. Now the real issue is Splatoon 3, because amiibos require internet to work. Not only to shoot photos, but to get their gear too!

[@AngelYt-xs6yy]

As a splatoon connoisseur (2018-2024) the square is my home and the plaza somewhere I visit everytime, getting the dlc was worth it while is not the same, it makes super happy having the chance to see the origin of everything on my switch, whit the announcement of splatoon 3 being the last in a trilogy this is a fitting bang in general, splatoon 4 will be the best there ever be whit it’s own charm

[@jeellyciouss]

I would give all my money for a remake of Octo Valley's story mode on Switch! It's a lost potential that they didn't include it in the Plaza DLC, it would bring even more content to Splatoon 3...

[@Woomy_Loves_Splatoon]

I cried like crazy when I found out.....and seeing the squid sisters and the inklings together makes me rlly happy... Fly hight splatoon....

[@keynanmartinez]

This was Godlike Beautiful, Thank You for everything Splatoon 1.

This made me cry, I'm so happy we got to enjoy the Squid Sisters, and will never forget them. ❤️💚

[@user-zo3tj3oq4g]

Me sorprende los pocos suscriptores que hay siendo que esta animación es una de las mejores que he visto. Muchas gracias por la bonita animación, me hizo sentir que tenia 10 años cuando conocí este juego y la primera canción que escuche fue "Calamari Inkantation" por eso amo splatoon apesar de nunca haberlo jugado, su música y sus personajes me encantaron. En la actualidad que tengo 18 años sigo escuchando la música de este maravilloso juego. Por último quisiera mandarte un abrazo virtual y decirte que continues con este tipo de animaciones de splatoon que la verdad las haces excelente. Saludos desde México.

[@jeellyciouss]

Tu texto me hace muy feliz, tuve una experiencia casi similar a la tuya con Splatoon. Nunca tuve tiempo de mejorar realmente la forma en que animo, siempre lo dejé como en segundo plano, para pensar en una buena historia. También descubrí Splatoon por esa época, aunque al principio lo subestimé. Hasta que le di una oportunidad un poco mas tarde, es un juego más que increíble. Me encanta ver que hay gente de México por aquí, he visto gente usando la traducción automática al español en los subtítulos muchas veces, pero eres el primero que comenta aquí. Y además lo importante no es jugar a los juegos, ¡és amarlos! Un abrazo para ti y para todo México, ¡muchas gracias!

[@colin7244]

Pretendo says otherwise

[@jeellyciouss]

I can't even argue, I mean, they could host Splatoon until ~10000 years into future when squids and octopuses begin evolve like humans. But it's sad to see that official support is just long gone and dead.

[@colin7244]

@@jeellyciouss yea I know but I still miss playing online. I definitely am a Splatoon 1 player but I may get pretendo later on.

even if that's the case it's still not the same :(

OMG THIS ANIMATION IS ABSOLUTE FIREEEE 🔥🔥🔥 NEW SUB ✨ Rip splatoon 1 😭

[@SnowyTheLittleKitty]

This splatoon 1 sounded like a lot of fun... i'll miss u splatoon 1, even tho i never played u. But from the comments, u sounded like a lot of fun.

[@blackhood4582]

May the memories of Splatoon 1 be with us forever

[@LJTA]

Dang, this hits really hard 🥲

[@papaya8433]

Aww this was really cute 😭 I loved the transitions and especially how expressive you made them!

[@jeellyciouss]

Thank you! I always wanted to make them really expressive! It's kind of difficult to make them express themselves differently from each other, but there's always a way!

[@user-qw3yy4qg8i]

I want to apriciat the animation even thougth i didn't play splatoon 1 i realy wish i could play it but this that you made brougth comfort i wanna thank you. Btw:i like the reference of Marie saying "your going to be a drandma one day" i loved it. Btw2:i'm watching it from Hungury.

[@jeellyciouss]

I'm happy to think that one of my animations had this impact on you. There was a time when I was interested in Splatoon, but it took a while for me to actually play it. During this time, my love for the series never died, in fact, it only grew more and more with each animation or art I saw. I could write a lot more here, but what matters in the end is not whether you can play the game, it's the affection and appreciation, like you have for Splatoon! Please, don't let it die. It's something more stronger than someone who played Splatoon at E3 2014, or on the first day of the official launch, in the first hour...and feel welcome! I really enjoy seeing my animations crossing borders!

IM CRYINGGG

[@_Strawberry9]

SAMEEE

[@phalnx2614]

I'm gonna cry! I miss Splatoon 1! 🤧

[@edrickSTUF2523]

Very touching and heartwarming. I honestly wished that i had played the first splatoon when i had the chance to. I unfortunately only cared about the 4th super smash bros game instead. But i at least remember the SFM stuff "for good or bad", and enjoyed the times watching what other people enjoyed. The squid sisters are definitely a wonderfilled group, and almost every splatoon fan will always remember them fondly.

[@jeellyciouss]

It's not good to blame yourself for something, back then (and still) i'm into Super Mario, for many years this was the only Nintendo thing I cared about. I was like you. What i wrote in the description, "In general, on the surface, it just looks like a silly 3rd person shooter made by Nintendo." is literally what I thought of Splatoon back in the day. I could blame myself for thinking this, but I probably was afraid of the "new" at that time. It's normal...and definitely! The Squid Sisters are awesome! They're the first thing that comes to my mind when talking about Splatoon!

[@edrickSTUF2523]

Yeah, you have a point. Its just that, i had the chance to, because i had the game alongside other said game. Both included inside the console. So i basically could have given it a try, but i never did.

[@ReginaldSmith-oq4qv]

Wow that's look awesome splatoon animation you made and how did you get inkopolis plaza map from Splatoon 3

[@jeellyciouss]

I just assembled everything on top of the original map, you can see the arcade Machine next to Grizzco, where it wasn't supposed to be, but otherwise I think it's decent.

[@VrantusOfficial]

with splatoon shutting down, my heart was enlightened…also…this is extremely beautiful…i love it…i do have something to say. On april 9th, the day it shutdown, i decided to make a whole track in memory of the first game…finishing the last few parts made me cry. and…i myself as a drumstep artist, felt like it was needed to be done…i wanna say thanks for making this…and im glad you did…i look forward to so many other memories soon.

[@jeellyciouss]

I really appreciate your kind words. It's unbelievable that it's been almost 3 months since the shutdown, because I can't forget the feeling of the moment, anguish, fear of it. Each player fell one by one, then there was that message from "Callie and Marie in the studio" that poped up, which leaded to an error, it broke me into tears, that happened even when i was animating this...It's kind of difficult to describe Splatoon in words, but it guides us through our passions, like doing a tribute animation, or a whole track for it. It's incredible how we create these things from the bottom of our hearts, from our deepest feelings. I love Splatoon...

[@VrantusOfficial]

@@jeellyciouss so do i my friend, i think that this animation kinda ties to my tribute track a bit…hey, do you have any ways to communicate? I would love to communicate with you and share some of my interests, and of course, make you smile when you are low.

[@jeellyciouss]

@@VrantusOfficial I do have a Twitter, but i've been using only for professional reasons (like to fix the Japanese translations.)...

[@VrantusOfficial]

@@jeellyciouss ah, i see. Well i can use twitter to communicate with you if that’s fine, but i also have a discord which is one of my primary sources for communication. But it’s your choice snd i dont mean to force.

[@jeellyciouss]

​@@VrantusOfficial I prefer to keep few contacts for now. I'm not very used to communicating privately with anyone unless necessary...

[@_medusas_wrath]

Very cool and well done animation. I remember playing this game when it came out 9 yrs ago, it's insane how time flies by 😅

[@XtarryAnimations]

I JUST MIGHT CRY I SWEAR

[@jeellyciouss]

I'll admit I was very emotional while editing this. I was finally finishing an animation that had been shelved for 8 months or even longer...I finally managed to put the pieces all together.

[@Zackary_Hamada_The_Dead_Gamer]

Nice Splatoon Animation video you made. I like it. 😉👍

This is there goodbye message

[@mardiman641]

im guessing this is about wii u online service, meaning wraping up splatoon 1, but the thing is in splatoon 3 the squid sisters still have a job of doing concerts for the splatoon 3 splatfests so they are still arround.

please, read the subtitles.

This is canon, whether Nintendo strikes it or not. You cannot convince me otherwise. Stay fresh.

[@Dai.X-jd5nv]

Hello! This is the first time I've seen your video, and I was really moved by it. I also have fond memories of Splatoon 1, so when I saw this video, it was filled with memories and sadness. If you don't mind, could I help you add Japanese subtitles? I'm a student in Japan, and I'd like more people in Japan to watch your videos. I may not be able to help much because I have to balance my studies, but I'd like to help out as much as I can. Please forgive my poor English and long sentences...

[@Dai.X-jd5nv]

I sent this message in the wrong place. I should have sent it in the comments section of this video. Sorry.

[@jeellyciouss]

No, I really don't mind! Any help is welcome! I've always wanted to spread my animations around the world! Especially to Japan! But I'm still not very good at Japanese. Don't worry about if you're available or not, take your time, i'll be waiting. If you have X, go there so we can talk more about this.
