❤❤❤❤❤❤ so good I love it so much
Can sarcastic chorus stay for the rest of the show
I love garnet heart ❤️
I got whiplash when I heard sarcastic chorus
Saame
Same
same
Same
Yeah when I hear that cat I just hear him
Garnet: Let's rescue some cats stuck in trees
Salem: we are there because we want to be
Truer words have never been spoken
One of my kitties we have now was actually genuinely stuck. She'd been in the tree for the 3 coldest nights Phoenix, AZ has had in ages, and when we got her down, she was severely malnourished, her fur was matted badly from the malnourishment, and her eyes were amber in color from her dehydration (it's actually how a friend at the time got the name Amber for her lol). She's 21 now, and we got her down from that tree when she was 1. If I hadn't persisted, she would have died.
Rescue dis kitty lol
Dude sarcastic just spilled the beans
Came for the Sarkitty Chorus.
Stayed for the intrigue.
I'm looking forward to the upcoming episodes!
we love sarkitty chorus
I dont understand why you guys aren't just callig him Sar-Cat-stic Chorus.
@@deepcut7788 Not all of my puns are absolute purr-fection, thank you.
@@deepcut7788weow that names weird
@@Luciferthekingofpurgitoryno it's not weird. It's perfect
Sarcastic Chorus being the cat is both fitting and jarring at the same time. At one hand, it feels like I'm watching one of his reviews, on the other, I can imagine the cat being the one who writes those reviews. I don't know, it's weird.
Online personalities are 50/50 when it comes to things like this honestly. The good stuff, they have nice clear voices and are very good at speaking with nice quality audio. But the downside is it doesn't feel like a character. It never feels like there's acting, just the same review feel but coming out of a character. So while their inclusion in this was nice, it would've been a bit better if they put more emotion into their role.
No complaints on the girl VAs though. They ate that performance
@@StefonTV1totally agree with this 100%
It just sort of feels like he’s just guest starting in another video. I also would have liked to see some more emotion
Not even 2 minutes in and Salem is already my favorite
Gotta love Sarcastic Chorus!
Just Salem Saberhagen!!
I agree they are pretty cool
Rel
Me after watching the first couple seconds: Okaayyy, I'm like, halfway there to being emotionally invested in this. Me after hearing Sarcastic Choruses voice: SOLD!!!!
Mizmy is probably the only character ever that has a legit reason for doing the Naruto run
I am looking forward towards the transformations. When they ran out of the building it was like we as the viewers were let into this world.
Nibui is definitely my favorite, my precious girl!! I want to see her kicking the villains' asses with her feather duster
You know? I realized when I looked back at this video when Salem stopped.
Garnett from being killed. You can actually see a moment of pain in his eyes. And his color pallet matches the other purple girl. Which implies that he wasn't Garnett's familiar first. He was *hers.*
Maybe i'm just reading Too much into it, but the music suddenly shifting to a sad solemn beat and him roaring At her over and over to just go away instead of attacking and Her just looking at him with empty eyes and listening broke my heart. A genuinely Felt like he was begging her to just go away, so he didn't have to do more. You can hear and see a moment of Pain or sadness in his eyes and voice. Which makes me excited For future episodes to see the relationship before she died. And why she was killed the first Place❤❤❤
Dis Is a lot of theory crafting,thanks matpat I got my new headcanon
🤔 A villainous magical girl born from the corpse of a disheartened fan that lost her life as a consequence of a past battle between Garnet and someone else. Maybe? 😅
That's it.I'm making that my new headcanon.
Absolutely adore Nibui and Garnets character designs and the backgrounds are absolutely gorgeous. Nice to see a new interpretation of magical girls online and congrats to the hard work put in by the talented team behind this brilliant pilot
This was AMAZING! It felt like if Sailor Moon had Narutos fight scenes and FLCL's energy!
The cutesy character designs, heavy fight scenes, that sick twist and not to mention how it switches the magical girl genre on its head!
The only problem was that it felt more like a pilot/teaser since it was too short and fast paced!
FLCL is my all time favorite anime so lots of influence there. They taught me EVERY episode needs a battle with cool music.
Wait wasn't it a pilot/teaser or was it an episode?
this is the pilot / first episode. future episodes will pick up where this left off. I would like them to be closer to ten minutes so the plot runs more smoothly, but it depends on if we get the funds.
@@deepcut7788 if I can help I will.
@@deepcut7788 salem breaking the 4th wall was unexpected
Salem is just out here not giving a fuck. Amazing.
I'm loving Sarcastic Chorus performance. I came for the cat, stayed for the wonderful show
Sarcastic fits SO WELL HERE
Bro im laughing my ass off only a minute in 😂😂
I just realized that Sarcastic Chorus kind of sounds like the Doug Walker aka Nostalgia Critic (when Douh isnt screaming).Anywyas while this short was simple its a decent good start!
Hearing Sarcastic Chorus as the cat was amazing, to start off. I also REALLY love that there was no bullshit and we just got to jump right into the story right away, nice touch.
can we talk about how floppy Mizmy is 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I loved watching her run around
This has the same energy of an anime abridged series.
And I'm all for it.
Omg sarcastic chorus is such a good voice actor!!
For a small project, this was a pretty good first shot. The choreography in the fight scene, in particular, stood out to me. I just feel like there are a couple of issues with the timing, pacing and tone of writing-particularly the dialogue. The voice actors are struggling with flatness, but there is an issue with pacing, direction and writing also dragging it down. The first gag with Salem, for example-I feel like the girls' thoughts cut in WAY too soon for it to work. Salem had barely finished the first sentence, which sounded normal enough, before they were like "God why does Salem ramble so much?". It feels like they just cut off a normal conversation; the "rambling" part felt like the girls were just TELLING us Salem was rambling without showing it. I feel like it should've waited for Salem to complete a few more sentences and/or start drifting into something irrelevent, like needless detail or snarky comments, before the girls' thoughts cut in.
It feels like the pacing of the episode is too fast and even-there are quite a few moments where it feels like it'd feel more natural to let the scene pause for a bit between characters' dialogue. Or characters felt like their dialogue was a bit too concise, bland and unexpressive. Or it feels like there are parts of the conversation that are missing-padding the pacing out, showing emotional reactions and personality, etc. The scene with Garnet Heart and the villain at the end, for example, felt rushed and stilted in the rhythm of the conversation. If these people are supposed to be some sort of enemies or have a killing vow of some sort, I feel like adjusting to a non-violent conversation feels too abrupt and there shouldve been more pauses in-between (and IN) their dialogue to show some sense of thoughtfulness, contemplation or hesitance. Or more dialogue/action of the villain jumping straight into an attack position as Garnet approaches and she says something to de-escalate or ask not to fight, before the villain eases down and asks her what she wants. It feels weird that they were fighting just a minute ago and casually approach each other and go straight into a conversation without flinching, as if they were never enemies. The conversation didn't really have a way for Garnet to slide in-how does she approach talking with someone she just fought with, and then ran off? There should be some sense of pensive conflict underlying the whole scene, but instead it feels really flat and casual. Allow for characters to hesitate between words and let dialogue sit with the character who's receiving it before they respond. Give them a moment to show them thinking, so it adds some personality and emotion (and give reaction shots for that in the animation as well). There were a few reaction shots, but only at big moments and that wasn't enough. Reactions should be regularly sprinkled throughout conversation, and then increase the intensity/weight of them for the bigger moments.
The dialogue in the final scene also feels weird. The shocked reaction from Garnet as the villain says "she just can't stop herself" feels needless and out of place if Garnet already knows why she wants revenge and admits to her fault in it somehow. She shouldn't be surprised at all for the villain to essentially say "I really want to come after you". The villain's dialogue also goes in the face of her character/reactions shown in the conversation itself. "When I see you, it just feels like I have to kill you", and here Garnet is walking up to her again, face to face, but the villain doesnt even bat an eyelash. She didn't even see Garnet in person the first time, she was just given her address over distance by Salem. She chose, at a distance, to act on that information and seek out Garnet herself-she could've chosen to ignore it if she wanted, but instead her reaction to finding out where Garnet lived was to actively seek her out. If her feelings/desire to attack was that strong, she should've had a reaction when Garnet just walks up to her later. You could've shown Garnet saying something to de-escalate the situatuon or get defensive quickly, like throwing her hands up with a line. And if the villain is tired from the first fight and doesn't want to try again, show her reacting with a flash of hostility only to wind down before Garnet sidles up next to her. Garnet just replying "I know" also feels unnatural, stiff and direct. Clearly if she "killed the villain first" (be it literal or metaphorical), then she KNOWS why the villain would want to go after her, but why doesn't the villain understand that? She should've been there for that event! Why does she need to ask Garnet "why?". She should already know! ...unless there was some sort of memory erasure or Garnet's identity was concealed in whatever happened. In which case, the villain should be a lot more suprised and on edge that Garnet revealed that "she knew" and "killed her first". The villain should be a lot tenser and confused, and her speech hesitant with more pause as she's taking in what Garnet says-instead of just running through it. And if the villain didn't know, you'd think Garnet would be more hesitant and careful around dropping such a big bomb the villain doesn't know into the conversation. Something more natural than "I know", would fit. Like maybe "...yeah...I guess I figured"-trying to awkwardly dance her way around the conversation and not reveal too much. Even then, the villain's "why?" line doesnt really fit. Maybe have the villain call out the vagueness and ask "What's that supposed to mean?". If she DOESN'T have a reason to not know it was Garnet who "killed" her, then she KNOWS Garnet knows and there's absolutely no reason for the "why?". She shouldn't be so clueless about her own motivations and condition. If she really DOESN'T understand why she can't stop herself from going after Garnet, she needs to be probing her with more questions. "Why do I feel this way? Why am I drawn to you? What did you do?". I found myself automatically asking these questions as they were talking, because it feels like there were missing gaps in the conversation that left me with them. Instead of just questions left for the audience to be revealed later, they felt diagetic.
Sarcastic Chorus is perfect as the "Boring lore dump character"
Cute animation, funny protagonist and the absolute hilarity of Sarcastic Chorus just swearing
I'm sold
So far Salem is my favorite character
great work, amazing episode, please make more episodes
This wouldn’t have happened if Garnet had a magic dog for a sidekick.
Damn that cat is Savage as hell.
There's potential for sure. I cannot express how much respect I have for making the fight scenes include fighting moves, rather than soft cheating by using charge attacks, blur, and panning over still frames. And on top of that making the fights go for multiple moves each in a wide shot is a fantastic display of commitment. One thing I would dearly love to see is characters who take notably different fighting stances and have attacks which look visually distinct, but it makes sense these two would have similar styles because I'm suspecting they were trained on the same team.
Mizmy is essentially looks like Hinata without the the palm strike fighting style.
So weird hearing sarcastic chorus in this but honestly? It suits him so well once you get over the disorientation lmao.
I know 😂😂 , I can't stop laughing
Salem is such a mood, and I really like sarcastic chorus playing the part, plus the animation is great! I can’t wait to see more of this series!
Hinata time
Mizmy does resemble hinata alot lol
Salem’s character is just Sarcastic Chorus being himself!😅
This is really fun! I find the voice actors were well chosen and the themes at play were nice. Also a good amount of allusion to the relationship between Garnet and Mizmy
That was a lot all at once
Came for Sarcastic Chorus (love his performance) but the animation and story is really good! I love the character designs!
I rewatched SolarS last week so I feel like i manifested this into being fgdsfagh
It's great to see you do more Magical girl stuff, can't wait to see how this turns out! Love this episode already!
Amazing to have that alignment! we've been working on this for quite some time, but it gives me hope others will come see it to. I want to manifest more episodes!
Dang the plot twist at the end! Also big fan of Sarcastic Chorus, him being Salem fits so well. A familiar who can kick ass with his paws and words perfect!💜
This is AMAZING I’m really impressed by the backgrounds especially the outdoors ones at the end, and the action had really strong weight behind it aswell!
Is Salem voiced by the Sarcastic Chorus 😂
Well the world may be going to hell but at least we've got good indie animation to enjoy while it does. Great work guys!!!
Yeah studios really need to own their sh*t and pay their actors and writers fairly. They cant keep relying on AI forever
This is a really cool pilot, and I can’t wait to see more characters! But, I do have some issues that could make the episodes better. Of course, I’ve never made a pilot or a series before, but these are just some of my opinions.
The character designs. Salem(I hope I got the name right) is great just as he is!! I love the Pokémon looking characteristics and everything. Garnet Heart is fine too, and it’s good you’re not too over detailed which is great. Maid is where I really have problems at. The color scheme and overall outfit is fine, but I feel like the eyes are out of place. Don’t get me wrong, it’s actually really cute and I wish more characters had the “cartoony eyes, detailed clothes” thing, but I feel like they could be smaller. Undead Magical Girl’s design reminds me of Hinata Hyuga from Naruto, and of course inspiration is a thing, but she looks like if Hinata was a magical girl. Overall, no real problem with designs. They’re loveable and rememberable for future episodes.
Animation. Not a big one, but if you really want animation to pop, you need to make them move more and give perspective. Make the camera go above Salem and Maid when they’re watching Undead and Garnet fight. Of course, animation is a lot harder to fix(not saying it’s hard for you, I’m just saying in general), but I would suggest you draw them in different perspectives and with poses while in the perspective.
Voice acting. Once again, not so much an issue, but I feel like the characters were monotone and lifeless, especially Salem. He’s a sly yet intellectual feline, I would imagine his tone is more active and changing. Undead’s voice acting was AMAZING, and I actually loved how they sounded AND the implied lore! Can’t wait to see that!!
Introduction. Pilots are meant to introduce characters, their goals, and overall personality. It was a lot harder for me to figure out the personalities, especially sense the appearance doesn’t match what was shown. The fight was also very anti-climatic and felt empty. Garnet Heart had powers, and I would imagine she uses them to her advantage. I can tell she also didn’t want to hurt Undead, so she could’ve just used it to make Undead back off. I would also suggest weapons to make scenes like that make the audience entertained.
Age Rating/“not for kids”. There was very few swears and anything considered “mature” for this to be remotely adult rated cartoon material. There has been many shows with 13+ age ratings with more violence and swears, and I would take a show like Clone High: Reboot for example of how they used the pilot to introduce that the show is violent and, actually, not for kids. Not all shows are like Clone High, but that’s just an example for how they introduced the age rating in the pilot.
And I think that’s everything I saw? Still though, amazing work and I hope I can see more of these characters! I really am addicted to Salem and Undead at the moment.
Yeah, I agree with these points.
I also feel that the lineart and flat colors felt like someone was just tracing over other drawings and animations. It felt very flat and lifeless. I like the concept, but there’s not enough there yet to get me invested in seeing more. I’d say this pilot needed a few more drafts and the animation some more work before it’s really ready to go.
Also, the lip syncing was really bugging me.
@@Scardy Exactly, that too. I felt the animation, and I think I said it before, to be very lifeless.
If a cat' s stuck in a tree it's because we want to be there, leave us, the fuck alone.
My favorite line EVER
First half of the video: haha, funny. Second half of video: sad/dark undertones.
This is actually a lot cooler than i could've thought! i knew it'd be good but not this good!!! AND U GOT SARCASTIC!!!!!
The plot is so intriguing. I’m excited for more!!
This series actually re-ignited my magical girl phase! So now I have a word document on about how they work, how their design works, and a whole MGA (Magical Girl Association) that deals with stuff like collateral damage
Goodness Salem's voice is so weird... It's weird hearing an analysis creator in an animated cartoon.
Next the cat will be telling me how Garnet has no game and is a bigger flop than Moredcai
So good :3
This is a million times better than when crunchyroll tried to attempt to make their own Is original series.
WOW! This was a amazing. The art style, the chracters, the voices, the story; yall have really out done yourselves!!! (Also, I love cats and Cartoon Universe did a great job voicing Salem!!)
It was sarcastic chorus who voiced Salem!
@@deepcut7788 Oops, sorry, I meant Saricastic Chorus XD
Yall did a great job tho. I hope you get enough funding for another episode!
This Has So Much Freaking potential i huge love anime like this and i can't want to see the next episode.
Yo this was absolutely incredible, funniest thing ive watched in a while. Really cool to see sarcastic chorus voicing someone
The last couple of lines just got me completely invested I’m so excited for more ❤️ and please keep SC as Salem
1:50 "If a cat's in a tree, it's because we want to be there. Leave us the fuck alone."
that got me 🤣🤣🤣
The plot is intriguing and the art style is so cool!!
The Animation is beautiful and backgrounds are stunning
That joke about cats was brilliant. It always buffled me why do they climb up for the cat when cats can fall from a few meters and land safely on 4 paws.
Well damn sarcastic chorus did amazing job and everyone else this just the first episode
Salem has a level of sass I absolutely adore!😂❤ This was cute, funny and I’m definitely interested in Garnet Heart’s mysterious past.😊
How exciting. What a time to be alive for indie animation. We've already got a mystery to theorize about. Good ol sarcastic chorus, vas sound good and I already like the comedy. Cheers!
Thanks so much for the laugh.
Amazing to see you comment on my show so many years after the last one!
Enjoyed it! Wasnt expecting the humor lol great surprise. The nemesis reminded me so much of Hinata couldnt help but appreciate the design.
Finally I found it! I’ve been looking for this show since Sarcastic said he was a voicing a Pokémon.
Wait nooo I was actually hooked with the plot hahah! Oh wow, and it was only 6 minutes... to get me invested. The calligraphy in fight scenes the backgrounds they're all great. Trully wonderful job.
IS THE CAT SARCASTIC CHORUS Hahaha
Just found out that most of the animation team is BR! ORGULHO🇧🇷!!!
Oh wow this is actually really interesting! What a way to end the first episode!!
Man. Those backgrounds are stunning.
Why does sarcastic sound so much like brandon roggers lol
Wait, isnt that cat supposed to be covering a helluva boss episode rn?
detaching salem’s voice from sarcastic chorus makes salem’s voice way better
That first fight was surprisingly clean, overall this show looks great and sounds great, maybe a little polishing but otherwise its good
It’s always the indie creators that cook the greatest meals
This is like what happen when magical girls grow up with out normal lives. Constantly being on your Sailor Moon bs without a normal slice of life time to yourself would be scary.
What a nice animation! I love shows that have Magical Girls! Hope that you keep up the good work!
Lol I can’t wait for the rest of this, it feels like a fever dream
This definitely got my attention.
I LOVE THEIR VOICES
AND THE ANIMATION STYLE IS SO NICE TOO
IT'S SO GOOD!!! IM SO EXCITED FOR MORE
the lifeless arms when she runs is so good 😂😂😂
That was actually really good and interesting I'm invested I wish there was more👍
If this isn’t the ultimate enemies to lovers story we’re rioting
This was great! I'm so psyched for more!
This is surprisingly nice! I love it! Great work, cannot wait to see more :D
Love it, Just wish the animation was a little more fluid, hopefully that can be fixed with time/experience if this keep going
I know enough about anime magical girls to know that there are a bunch of anime and magical girl tropes here that are just getting dunked on in a sarcastic and adouring way, but i dont know enough about magical anime girls to fullly engoy this
Forgot to mention earlier, but the animation is top tier, especially the fight choreography
my nonexistent soul left my body when i heard sarcastic chorus
Anime is not my thing whatsoever, but hearing Sarcastic Chorus was a delight
I came here from sarcastic chorus’s vid, really glad I did. I will be staying.
Why did Hinata Hyuga just throw good hands with Garnett lol
Let's go!
Utena: "Pffft, amateur."
That's Utena from Gushing over magical girls.
I see a mix of many animes Sailor Moon, Tokyo Mew Mew, Naruto, including western animes like Avatar
This is Amazing Adulterated Animated Short! I Absolutely Love this! Hope we'll be able to see more of this soon!
This is actually very cool, keep up the great work
Ok i love how that undead magical girl moves. So creepy.
1:54 I cannot resist thinking about some theories every time I hear that voice.
Hyped for more episodes :P
This was such a funny and quick episode
