MNL's OKOTO ORIGINS Ep 2 Protectors 

Better story than the official one.

This style of 3D and 2D post-production blended with stop motion is really growing on me! It's very unique and consistent, and it looks really professional!

Bionicle gen 2 story telling done right!

Dude. The LEGO group should have hired you as the scriptwriter :D

Billions of dollars at their disposal, and yet it takes their fans to make a truly epic telling of the G2 story. Bravo, fantastic work.

When I see this, I know that BIONICLE is alive.

Takua Jalla Nuparu? AH! I got those references!

Holy crap, hearing the cast of TTV was surreal. They did a god job keep quiet about this. Anyway, looking good so far. I enjoyed Narmoto's interaction with Tahu, how weary Tahu sounds when he says things like "spill it."

I gotta give you props for that Ekimu vs. Makuta fight. Good episode and worth the wait.

I just noticed that the Modern Okotan text on the wall at 3:32 says "In Ekimu We Trust".

This is how This arc of G2 should've been. It feels mythical and definitely has a more fantasy feel to it. Great job!

This one was incredible. the voice acting was handled rather well, and I noticed the cast of TTV playing the explorers. just the whole thing was handled so well, a nd the changes you made to the story were much better

I see you split the protectors up in their Kaita trios.

Love the call backs to the original bionical. This is a great film for geeky fans like myself, seeing everything from the original storyline brought back is amazing. Loved it!

Wow. This is quite incredible. I can't say TTV's performances quite matched the quality of the rest of the episode, but it doesn't take away from how badass this all was. Great work, people.

I can't get over how awesome this episode is.

That was quite the episode. You managed to make it feel like more of a bionicle animation than lego ever managed to. Almost movie-like. Grand. Intriguing. It's so great I can't think of a compliment suitable enough to convey my positivity towards you sufficiently...

Out..freakin..standing!!! This episode was SO worth the wait! This is probably the best fan made bionicle media we've ever gotten! MNL, you and your team should of been hired by Lego.

This is truly impressive. It's amazing. It's brilliant. It's WONDERFUL! The animation is great, the atmosphere is amazing, the references & nods to both G1 & G2 are clever, and your spin on the story is proving to be very interesting so far! I am definitely looking forward to future installments in this series, even if it takes another year for the next one to come out! This is absolutely fantastic, and one of the best fanmade Bionicle productions I've ever seen... actually, it's one of the best fanmade Lego-in-general productions I've ever seen!

Nice job! I especially love the subtle things, like different firing methods of the protectors' shooters and the references to g1. Keep it up, I can't wait for more!

Bravo man! I loved everything about it, to the lovey backgrounds and action! Can't wait to see part 3

This is amazing! Even better than your last one. The animation and lighting are too notch, the effects look great and the sound design is amazing. Also having the TTV cast voice the characters is always and I'm not sure if anyone noticed it but when that skull spider burst out of the pod it looked exactly like one of the Borokh adverts! Nice callback.

The wait was worth it! You sure do create incredible visuals for these!

Second. Nice episode, I like how it looks like a movie and the references to certain G1 characters. This is definitely the best Bionicle video visually. :)

Phenomenal work. I absolutely love everything about this production.

Please keep these coming. I'm loving it! Also, a big thank you to the voice actors who helped.

This is amazing!!! It's like Everything *G2 SHOULD'VE BEEN*! Ok maybe it's a bit dark but I wouldn't mind this story with some lightheartedness over the gappy barebones story we got in the 5 minute animations.

Really enjoyed this episode! I recognized the TTV cast and Kaita trios, among other things. I also noticed the Kevin Macload tracks throughout. Might I recommend "Noble Race?" It's got a very epic feel to it that would fit right in with the other tracks you've already used. There's another, older, fan series, "Chronicles of the Chronicler," which used certain Macload tracks that could also fit, however it's been awhile so I don't remember exactly.

Now THIS is how you craft lore!! As magnifcent in scale and quality this all is, I must ask...will we ever see an episode 3, or more?

Tahu: “When do we go get my mask?” Audience: “Never, apparently.”

So much character. So much depth! So refreshing! I love it!

My god, this is truly impressive, well done! This is the tone gen 2 should have had. I love how you worked in the Chronicler's company and adjusted the story to feel more in line with what we came to expect in gen 1, more serious, more melodramatic.I sincerely hope you continue this series, watching this has made this old fan nostalgic. It was sad that gen 2 was never given the proper attention and resources befitting the Bionicle theme, LEGO's biggest in-house success story prior to Ninjago. Instead, it was left to flounder with a small budget and next to no advertising, how could it have been expected to succeed if a new generation of potential fans had no information to go on or even know it existed? Over half of what made gen 1 succeed was the story and world building, without it, they're just some colorful robots. *sigh* such wasted potential, chances are we shall never see its like again...

SWEET! Now I'm gonna need to wait a whole year before episode 3.

Это. Просто. Идеально! Очень красиво и правдоподобно! Мне бы на самом деле хотелось увидеть, что же будет дальше! Вы просто мастера, спасибо вам!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Wow, that was just pure greatness. You really have a gift in story adaptation and editing. Keep up the fantastic work

MNL this is pretty awesome. Even though everything is being narrated and the story is being told to us derectly the accompanying scenes are really well done and the voice acting is pretty good too. I like how the protector's powers are interpreted. They seem like they could effectively defend their villages. I was completely hooked when watching. The only thing that was I thought was a bit weird was the end because I didn't realize a skull spider was in the room so when Thai destroyed it I was just confused. Well done though. Worth the wait

Words cannot describe how... awesome... this is. Amazing!

This was incredible! The visuals were absolutely stunning as well! Keep up the great work! If you ever need more voice actors I would love to lend my voice work!

This is bad ass!! Can't wait for part 3! Hope he can do all year 1 and 2!

This is absolutely fantasting! Great work!

it's such a shame you spent a whole year making something so great only for the thing it's based on to already be dead...

I like this more than the actual animations. Good job, dude.

This was fantastic. Please don't stop making episodes!

OMG OMG OMG IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

THIS IS FANTASTIC! Great Job Metru Nui Legacy! Keep up the great work! =D

YO!!! This animation is way better than anything Lego pulled out, way to go man! This animation lets me know that bionicle never did end, it’s being carried on by awesome people like you!

Mata Nui! That's pure awesomeness! Great video in all aspects. Your videos are great! Keep going :D

Amazing work as always man. Keep it up. I love this story!

Gotta say I was really disappointed with the wait, but this blew my mind. Good job mate, and keep up the work. Albeit faster I hope, but with quality like this... take your time.

5 years... Normally I'd either be hopeful or in denial but unfortunately I've given up so all I can say is R.I.P

This is some of the best stop motion I have seen on RU-vid I know this series takes a while but I cannot wait for the conclusion. Keep up the great work .

Loving the TTV Voice cameos

Impressive! Well worth the wait.

Awesome,simply awesome! Now let's wait for the next episode!

This is probably, hands-down, the best animated Bionicle content ever. The combination of stopmotion animation and computer generated imagery looks astounding. The bending and warping of normally static pieces really helps bring life to characters (particularly the Skull Spiders) Just... visually, it's a masterpiece. However, I feel there is room to improve on the storytelling and voice acting, particularly Tahu's interactions with Narmoto; the whole thing between them seemed more like a forced info/lore-dump for the viewer than a Toa looking to his Elder for guidance and answers. I'd suggest trying to bring more of a 'Turaga' influence to the Protectors so they seem wiser and more knowledgable, instead of just walking memory banks. I think the main difference between the Protectors and the Turaga is how they deliver the information the Toa request, and how much of said information they actually share. The Turaga would, on many ocassions, withhold information from the Toa until they deemed in necessary to tell them, and they would always share it almost like you would a tale instead of just informtion. (I think they lied a few times as well, but don't quote me on that.) The Protectors, by contrast, share any and all information the Toa ask for in a "here's exactly what you want, nothing more, nothing less"-type format, which is nice for understanding what's happening, but it's very boring and doesn't give the Protectors much character. Tahu's delivery also sounded kind of flat and lifeless to me when compared to Narmoto. (That is just my opinion though.) Now, I'm not trying to bash your work or anything. A LOT of time and effort went into this, and it definitely shows. I'm just here to offer my two widgets as to how you might be able to improve your work so it's a more enjoyable viewing experience for everyone. (Or, I might not know anything. You are always free to disregard my input entirely, I am just an anonymous voice on the internet after all.)

I really love how you did the lighting in these scenes. =)

This is so awesome! Great job!

underrated masterpiece full of love

badass, I was over with Bionicle and Lego ages ago, but I still check out this channel. It gives me this nostalgic feeling.

This is amazing the best I have seen in so long

I knew you wouldn't let us down. :D Fantastic stuff as always. Take as much time as you need. I've tried my hand in stop motion before, so I know that this stuff takes ages with the added after-effects.

Excellent video! Done a lot of work! I do not expect a new episode will be so cool! Masterpiece! I hope for your future video. I would like to see the entire history Okoto in your animation. Thank you for your work!

So worth the wait!

Great Job MNL!!!

That was awesome can't wait for episode 3

So good. As always.
