Dude, I wish Ongezellig could have gotten more recognition. It seriously has the potential to be a masterpiece to many and I'm sad that it will never be fleshed-out into a whole series.
i do too, im genuinely hoping for the probably impossible scenario of a studio finding ongezellig and picking it up with studio massa as the lead. it would be so amazing
@@MihailAZ I get really bad secondhand embarrassment. Calling Ongezellig and Watamote cringe inducing to any degree is just because I'm kind of a wuss when it comes to humor coming from social faux pas
Lovely video. It was quite a roller-coaster to support Studio Massa in his production of Ongezellig. It is such a touching pilot, with beautiful animation and characters that have tremendous pathos. In truth, I have hope that the pilot may remain "fallow" and dormant for a while, but eventually some studio will see the light and ask to produce it. ❤ 🧡 💛 By the way, as I post this, it is the 6th anniversary of the first part's publication.
ty! and well said, best case scenario is def that it gets picked up with studio massa at the lead. also didnt even realize it was the anniversary lol but hey, cheers to that
I'm a new fan to the series and I love it so much. I'm so glad to hear positive comments about the future of the show coming from someone who's been following it for a while. I'm here just hoping (and coping) one day a studio might pick it up, but it needs Massa in the lead. It needs his humour and historical references to work!
This review is amazing. It’s great to see a review from someone who did the extra research on the petje illustrations and such, they add a whole new layer of depth to the series. Ongezellig is precious to me personally as it feels like this is the only version that sees someone like me. Sometimes in fiction it feels like shy characters are romanticized in ways that make them so unrealistic or too far into fantasy but Maya feels so real in a way no other fictional characters come across
ty! yea the bonus illustrations were pretty fun to look through, i like the amount of detail that they add to the story. and i totally agree about how real maya feels
Probably the best ‘Zellig review I’ve seen so far, and I’ve watched pretty much all of them. This show is such a hidden gem, nothing would make me happier than to see it blow up in popularity one day.
A funfact from a native dutch speaker. So in the illustrations at 3;40 Maya actually tries to get French fries. The funny thing about this is,that in Dutch we have 2 ways to call them. In Holland and I would say in the big cities,most people call them "Patat". In the south and east Netherlands(Also the Belgians call them like that) it's more common to call it "Friet". In elementary school this was like the number 1 discussion. "Is het friet of patat?"
One of the most underrated web series. It really deserved better. Hope Massa is just living well and happy because he really deserves it. Awesome video, great and complete analysis, cool editing, and a perfect conclusion.
yea, i had really hoped that ongezellig would take off more, but it is what it is. im happy with what we got and i also hope massa is doing good. also ty!
I would just like to say that this video genuinely brought a smile to my face. I love Ongezellig and am always happy to see any video that talks about it. But this video was just phenomenal and far better than I could have expected it to be. Excellent editing, humor and also especially analysis of the actual short film. You brought up so many great things from absolutely every nook and cranny of the short. Be it the entire thing as a whole, the characters themselves or even just the credit song. Expressing how I truly feel about things is not something I'm great at, especially in few words (as you can tell by the length of this comment), so I just want to make it as absolutely clear as possible that this video really was wonderful to watch and I think you did an absolutely amazing job. Keep up the amazing work. Will definitely have a look at your other videos and look forward to your next video.
thanks so much! i dont think that i am good at expressing how i feel either, but i am sincerely grateful for your kind words. i sometimes feel like i could be better at making vids, and while i do definitely try to improve with each one, comments like these let me know im on the right track. thanks again, and i will try to continue improving and hopefully exceed expectations :)
This video got me to watch the series. I actually hadn't heard of it before. The humor was close to being a miss to me, but I still enjoyed it. I absolutely love Maya because I have ADHD and also have some issues with social interaction, although not nearly as extreme as her.
thanks for giving the series a try! i really do love ongezellig whole heartedly but i get that some parts probably dont appeal to everyone lol, tho glad to hear u still liked it. happy to hear u like maya too :y
I didn't know this has official comic omg I want to enter to the drive to read it but the link doesn't exist according my device :( is it possible to find it in english somewhere?
there's a link towards the bottom of the cancellation announcement from studio massa's petje.af here: petjeaf.com/ongezellig/posts/ongezellige-update-130-dubbelslot there's another folder inside of the folder with the comic that has the english translation. if that doesn't work then, here's an ai dub of it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nSKBkqaEmPg.htmlsi=PZD4yA4pQTWJbcCV
