What Happened to Wakfu

The French anime that isn't an anime but is actually better than most anime. Wakfu is one of the best shows I've had the pleasure of watching and now I'm going to tell you that you should also watch it.

QUICK THING! It was announced (after this video was made) that there may be a Kickstarter campaign starting soon for season 4. If you want to help the show BEFORE that starts, then watch it on Netflix to increase viewership. That's THE BEST way to help as of right now. I'll be posting updates on my twitter if there's any developments: twitter.com/Negative_Legend And here's my patreon in case you want to help me make more content: www.patreon.com/NegativeLegend

Lol I already have my brother watch it on repeat since it is very hard on me to rewatch episodes I've always seen. Did the same for young justice when it was on Netflix. Kinda regret it cuz it was put up on the new dc streaming service and behind a paywall when I was hoping Netflix would get it.

Hi, French dude here. Ankama is a big thing back here, not only because of their amazing game that just took the entire country by storm but also because of their great worlds. I remember back in elementary school my friends showing up with a bunch of Dofus manga and just chilling outside reading them together, and waiting every week for a new Wakfu episode when it started airing. Also, did you know? Most of the different classes/races are just well-known brands and words that have been flipped, or play on words. The Sadidas is Adidas backwards, Sram = Mars, Eniripsa = aspirine, Xelor = Rolex, Cra = arc (bow in French), Ecaflip = pilface (heads or tails in French with a letter missing for some reason), Enutrof = fortune, and so on.

Emile you forgot to say that the Dofus mag was stopped in 2014. The same year they celebrated the ankama 10th anniversary. And don't forget to add that Wakfu season 4 is currently in production as I wrote thoses words. PS : If wakfu is the "vitrine" for the Krosmoz world that Ankama create, dofus is their game that is the most play, even if wakfu and Dofus Touch (a free version of dofus on mobile, that don't required to pay to have acces to the game or the pay a subscription to play the game like Dpfus the game on PC) are doing as well.

[@Pordrack]

16:30 "Sadidas are my favorite races" Intense lore time : Every "Races" in Wakfu are Classes, they're all humans by default. Basically, the worshipping of a god change your physical apparence, you can either born worshipping a god, and then you already have your class's apparence at birth (according to some sources souls get a choice of which baby they want to born into), or you can born as a godless baby, in which case you get to chose a god before your teenage hood and get your apparence and power either with the puberty or during a ritual (it's not clear and probably depends on the god and era in which you live). In the MMOs you incarnate, so you directly appear in an adult, changed by your worshipping way. 19:30 : It pronounce "té" we added the h because it looked pretty, it's the french word for tea.

I've been wondering about this for a while and all of a sudden you answer it for me without me thinking to ask

[@kristofgriffin384]

I'm sorry, but how are the villain's motivations "hard to follow"? Nox: A devoted father and husband, as well as a brilliant horologist and clock-maker who wanted to improve the lives of his family via the Eliacube he found, only for him to be corrupted by it. His family leaves him, they get swallowed by the sea, and he succumbs to madness. In order to bring them back and fix his mistakes, he takes it upon himself to use the power of the cube and of his inventions to plunder the world of its Wakfu and feed it to the cube. Doing so he could reverse time, reunite with his family and undo all of the damage he did to the world. Quilby: An Eliatrope who doesn't forget his past lives when he reincarnates, which drove him to the point of madness. Experiencing the same things, over and over, never being able to forget them. He grew bored with his world and wanted to travel the stars and visit other planets. He wanted to bring the other Eliatropes with him, since he didn't want to feel lonely. Because nobody understood his situation and even refused to join him, he made a deal with a race called the Mechasms to destroy his home-world and force his people off it. This resulted in the death of every adult Eliatrope, and his imprisonment by Yugo into a dimension where he suffered a fate worse than death. When he was freed from the dimension, he sent our heroes on a mission to retrieve his sister's Dofus, and then leave the World of Twelve with his ship, which would ravage the entire planet. Ogrest: An accidental creation from Ogrines and a piece of candy a long time ago by a Feca alchemist named Otomai. He was infatuated by Dathura and for her, he tracked down and acquired the powerful Six Primordial Dofus, and in doing so gained more power than the gods of the World of Twelve. Unfortunately, the deceptive and manipulative Dathura only cared about the Dofus and, in a fit of woeful rage, he willingly threw her into an abyss. He then grievously trudged to the peak and summit of Mount Zinit to despair, mourn, and everlastingly cried, alas, causing the great deluge that flooded the World of Twelve, dividing it into the various Nations and lands that we know now in the Wakfu era. Oropo: Alongside his people, was created by a time warp when Yugo fought Ogrest using the Six Eliatrope Dofus. This led to the accidental creation of the Eliotrope people in Yugo's image. The time warp scattered them throughout history, causing them to exist in the world thousands of years prior to their own creation. However, over the years, each Eliotrope died from one reason to another, until Oropo was the last; he lived for so long because whenever an Eliotrope died his or her power would be added to another still-living Eliotrope, which increased their power and added to their natural lifespan. His age-long life, combined with his identity crisis of being Yugo and yet not, left him insane and bitterly vengeful against both his creator and the gods who didn't hear his people's prayers and sought to replace them. To that end, Oropo worked from the shadows to set into motion many a series of events in order to weaken the gods power. Such as manipulating Dathura and Ogrest's relationship leading to Ogrest's Chaos, and when the time was right, he made sure Nox found the Eliacube. He also began gathering his brotherhood of replacement gods, recruiting their demigod children by preying on their bitterness towards their divine parents. Though his plans were coming to fruition, his own life was reaching its end and he would soon vanish. This made him even more determined to see his plans through.

[@mossgoblin5507]

You should be writing books with how good you described these guys.

[@PseudoMystic]

I think your analysis is correct in that it was what was intended by the writers, and I can appreciate what they were going for with regard to Oropo's motives, but I think it felt poorly communicated and executed in comparison to the other villains (and I'm not referring to the confusion because of the eliAtrope/eliOtrope thing). To be fair while Ogrest's motives aren't made super explicit, the narrative in the 3 part special didn't make it feel like it was super necessary to have a huge excursion into his back story with everything else going on, and he did end up getting something to that effect anyways. Sure there's the mangas and other supplemental materials, but it felt like there just wasn't quite enough stuff fleshing out Oropo's motives given how it had set him up (and I do think it initially set him up to be interesting). That might all be due to pacing though as season 3 was half as long in comparison to the previous seasons.

I tried to watch Wakfu and enjoy it, but the English voice acting is... not so good, to put it bluntly. 😓 So I tried to watch it l, muted. There was mix results. Oh yeah, it only ran one season when in aired in my country. Apparently from what I heard, the original dub French sound a lot better than the English dub. Not only that, the story is still ongoing, for a few seasons.

Wakfu is just amazing, there's just so much power to it. *spoiler alert* Towards the end of the first season when Dally 'dies' and is held in Eva's arms as he says he's not dying he's becoming a legend. The amount of emotion that I felt is indescribable and for a show like this too. At the end though is what really got me was when Eva simply says "Let's become legends togetger." was just heart breaking I couldn't help but just tear up at that it was so emotional.

This show is one of my favorite pieces of fiction of all time. I remember when I would binge-watch this show late into the night, hooked on the adventures of the Brotherhood of the Tofu. I still rewatch Grougal vs. Nox to this day, and I'm so biased towards this show that I actually liked season 3. There's no way that something this gorgeous could ever be denied another season. It will happen, my friends, we just have to wait. It may not be tomorrow, or even the next few years from now, but it will happen. If there's one thing I've learned is that fans have power. We just need faith, and continue to support Ankama with all of our hearts.

So deeply blessed to see someone else feel as passionately about this as I do. I keep telling people that fans gotta stand in unity if they want to support what they love & do all that they can to help spread the love/spread word of it's existence. We're the "Brotherhood of Wakfu"!
