PORT BY THE SEA [Animated Pilot] 

It's really good! Really, really hope you're able to get the funding you need to make more episodes, 'cause this series really has a lot of potential, and I'd love to see more of it!

This is one of the best indie animations I've seen, keep on the good work! 👍

Ye

⁠​⁠@@Nlby001i agree it has potential

I wish you all the best on this series and your future endeavors. Good Luck!🍀😊

the bastard casually just said to a little child life is disappointing your gonna fuking die

So? Just turn around and try another way...

@@tino768 spoken like a true action game protagonist

Nah, it hit exactly like it was supposed to. Dude puts off Zims teacher vibes.

It looks like a brawl stars trailer

indie animation is so beautiful, i can feel the passion in every single one of independent their works even if its not up to "industry standard" I hope to make my own someday !❤️

Going back to your lore video. Wanted to see this first, and I'm so happy that I did.

because mainstream only cares about making money

Didn't expect see you here

M O N Y E E E I -🦀

I think that was introduction to snow

SAME

@@Ditto13248I'm a HUGE Hawaii pt II fan, along with just tally hall in general Its dream sweet, the ending song to the album (Was my favorite song for a while too) You can look it up too if you don't believe me 😓

same lmao

SAME BRO SAME OMG (Introduction to the Snow but they're super similar songs so who cares lol)

The Owl House is like the best Disney show they've released in a lot of years although it aired 4 years ago, it's the best and also Gravity Falls.

@@soggypotatochipthere was a reason why that show was canceled. You know it. Admit it. Even Disney knew it. The show was “too gay” even for Disney and “their not so secret gay agenda”. That says something, coming from them. I’m going to say that if they actually did something besides being all gay and went with you know…MARKETING MERCHANDISE, the show might have stayed longer and you could have gotten what you wanted (and stayed quiet for a bit longer)

@@donnerblitzen1388 well most kids know about LGBTQ

@@soggypotatochipFor some reason

they should not even be called pilots since in 95% of cases in the episode 2 comparing to the pilot they don't change absolutely nothing

And monkey wrench!

And Murder Drone. And Epithet Erased.

Yeah, Hazbin Hotel success has actually inspired a TON of different people to try their luck in doing their own shows! I wonder how many of them will manage to go farther than the pilot.... This one thoug, i think it has potential and I totally see it going in Cartoon Network and stuff!

And mueder deones

@@simoneval2619MetaRunner

Yeah wasn’t expecting to hear that at the end

I love miracle musical and it just feels so right it playing here!

it was such an OH SHITTT moment and makes me so exited for what this could be

Me tooo!!!

Joe Hawley jumpscare

Introduction to the Snow

don't tell him about Hawaii Part 2

Consider hilda maybe, it's a perfect vibe show

This is the most generic formulaic uninspired garbage I've ever watched. There was no personality in any of this. Maybe if it was a graduate thesis project or whatever, sure, it would be passable. But as a pilot for a new show? Absolutely not.

You will not believe what im about to tell you… google hawaii part two

​@@Moe_Posting_Chadyou gonna say the same thing under every comment?

TALLY HALL IN A CARTOON!!!!??

Wait I think it’s the song, Introduction to the Snow. Song from the same album and very similar beginnings but different song but can’t believe they actually added that song one of my favorite albums ❤

Hate to be that guy, but it's "introduction the the show", they use the same notes.

SAMEEEE!!!

Obh

Not dream sweet in sea major.

Same, I immediately gasped because I listen to it somewhat often

TALLY HALL REFERENCE SPOTTED

@@Roses_StudiosTALLY HALL USED IN AWESOME ANIMATION NOWAY

Hey two

I LOVE TALLY HALL / MIRACLE MUSICAL

HAWAII PART II SUPREMACY

Fr!! So grateful to see so many creators get a chance to share their work- Monkey Wrench is another wonderful indie production that deserves love!

Atlas and the Stars is also a super awesome animated pilot

Load Aim Burn is another one I haven’t seen enough people talk about!

Yup and it was all thanks to hazbin hotel

Ramshackle, Satina and Cliffside too

Cool

i think that was intended

@@secondchanceatlife22 I'm sure it was! I just figured some people might not know so I figured I'd mention it!

That’s so cool. It’s a cute name too.

I recognized that from Magic Knight Rayearth. The characters names are correlated to their powers, so hearing it here made me happy.

For real, it's giving me major Hilda energy too

YOU'RE SO RIGHT! I love all of those so I can't wait!

Stop comparing people

Someone sold their soul for this. Commented before watching XD. Now lemme watch.

@@bradcshs33 this is like a massive compliment, what are you going on about?

I claimed mine

yessir

Welp, I'm here

Ahoy 3:37

Claimed, can’t wait to cash it in

reminds me of the video game AIKODE where one its teasers goes on about how its not a fiction its totally real lol

Life is full of dead ends XD

I’m unsure whether all the characters just have a lot of character or if he specifically is going to be important.

Yup

FR I LOVE MIRACLE MUSICAL 😭😭😭😭

@@_iamsam FRRRRRRR

OH MY GOD I LOOOVEE MIRACLE MEUICAL

What's the name of the music?

@@danieldutra1649 the name of the song played at the end was Introduction to the Snow by miracle musical ^^

Yeah me too

​@@scarletweb2106hey I think I saw you from some where?

It does make me a little sad when people say "Support indie animation" and they only bring up Vivziepop and The Amazing Digital Circus

​@@anormalguy9320 Well thats because helluva boss (or hazbin hotel) and amazing digital circus litteraly the most popular indie shows in history.

​@@anormalguy9320 monkey wrench and murder drones isnt getting much attention too

The sheer talent and creativity man, so great

I think he was looking for the moon shard, not the monster.

@@LopsideMakes oh that makes a lot more sense

I thought that first too 😂

MPG???? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE??

Congrats on 1,000,000 subscribers

Well, I never expected you here MPG.

YOOOO MPG

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!??

IT MADE ME SO HAPPY

Ikr? I was so shocked

ikr??? shocked me

Aloooooooooooone…

Tally Hall reference

What story telling? A scene happened and then another scene happened? Can you name three things that you remember about this 17 minute animation now two weeks later?

@@Moe_Posting_Chad”A scene happened and then another scene happened” I think that’s how shows work, dude.

@@cocoa1019 I think your media literacy is not befitting that of an adult. Describe the plot without re-watching the pilot.

@@Moe_Posting_Chadeasily yeah. I remember they were attacked by a sea monster, they are solving a mystery in exchange for repairs, and that the moon was recently shattered, which is seemingly the cause of the conflict in the show. You need meds dude you have no attention span lol

⁠@@Moe_Posting_Chadi think your media literacy is probably nothing to write home about bud lol if that was too much for you to follow, you just physically cannot be media literate

Glad I found a real comment like this. Didn’t want to be rude but the storytelling was meh. Really great art and animation

@@george_MF_washington Its just the pilot so the storytelling might pick up

@@Thing_of_somes true. But it was written like a Disney Jr kids show. And the Steven universe kids sounded like he was in one too.

​​@@george_MF_washingtonnot enough world setting up or telling us who the characters are and seems like it's trying to aim at being cuphead, flapjack with satire but mickey mouse clubhouse with dialog Also a lot of silence

@@LUCAS420BLZ that’s a good way to put it. Definitely didn’t tell us who these characters are at all.

why are deaf people always portrayed as mute? I've seen multiple people who were deaf from birth who can talk

same

thats because of speech therapy, seeing how this is a small town she probably got no help with speech so they didnt talk. @@narcosis1507

​@narcosis1507 Because it is hard for deaf people to learn to speak if they can't hear their own voice. It's possible, but very challenging.

That inclusion is how you know this is woke trash. I can see the check boxes being ticked as the pilot aired. And it wouldn't be so bad if it weren't so insultingly bland. I've seen this all done before and better. There was nothing to hook me in. Dialogue is bland. Lore dump exposition is awful. Setting is generic horror on da sea totally not cuthulu mythos at home. And the protagonists are literally not interesting, completely smooth no edge no nothing. I swear to god I've already seen this episode done in another cartoon already. Give me something, anything to remember this as unique. People's taste in art has fallen into the fucking gutter. Why is it every show now needs to be this bland appeals to everyone made for nobody sludge? Being corporate goo of a show is not an aspirational goal. It is a failure of creativity, which is exactly what this pilot succeeded in becoming.

The design is very human.

It reminds me of Steven Universe a little bit

​@@SpyMC-vo8giThe style looks alot like Craig of the Creek

Meets over the garden wall

Thank you for saying this. That is great level to detail. I have high hopes for this project

@@complex2live 6:00 as a keyboardist I am dead💀💀

Wut

I think you meant *"boat* to be lit".

yeeeeee

It is lit 🔥

Real

The boy is a sassy character. He wsas full of sass. He sassed. I think you are saying one thing while thinking of another.

@@theprecipiceofreasona character that’s only role is to be sassy is bad, the boy was more just dumb for plots sake

@@dolphin1418I’d say he was just naive is all.

Umi was pretty sassy throughout the whole thing

It has sassy character(s), it just doesn't assume that alone will carry it. The writing has more to it than "sassy cool character does sassy cool things"

What the hell are you doing out here, Fred? 😂

Bro fucking saaaaame! I’m so happy it’s being used omfg

get help

@@nadie887 hush

i was hoping to find someone in the comments who knew the song from homestuck- as soon as it started playing i, who was laid down, cartoonishly fumbled my phone straight on to my face in staggered recognition

Real

SAME

Same here. The whiplash of going from wholly original content to Homestuck reference is crazy.

@@azealot7112 is there a rare chance of convergent evolution here? Like I always thought the song existed before Homestuck.

I might be dumb, but how is it implied that the kids broke the moon? And how is Ankle implied to be the Ocean titan?

@@stefperb9531 1:02 the kids are shown in a picture of the moon breaking 5:49 kids look suddenly guilty when "the shatter" is mentioned 11:05 "we owe it to these people to help after what we did" Not explicitly stated but it does make sense that they somehow caused it. It would explain why the kids are collecting the shards and somehow have a moon shard compass. 12:08 Ankle "knows everything about Bonnie" (which turns out to be moon shard related) and he's briefly shown to have suspicious tassels and a magical/evil sounding voice. We never actually see ankle (except his hair) but his form (especially the tassels) is similar to the 4th titan (Tiamat) shown at 0:21 His entire graveyard scene and 16:26 gives off the impression that he's much more powerful than he's letting on

@@SkySpiral7_Lets_playnice

just letting you know “ミュジカル” is “musical” as opposed to “music” :)

@@somejellyfish ah good catch: I missed a letter. Editted.

Yo. Plug this one. Bring the rest of the Buttlovers over here.

Athena P: on the patrol for cartoon lore

This is calarts done the right way. Also I got infinity train vibes for some odd reason. Must be the music.

I got steven universe vibs with the lighthouse and beach however those vibs diminished at later scenes

They better make Umi x Port canon as well

@@moltenlava9816 pls no

​@@moltenlava9816nope weirdo

@@moltenlava9816 Port looks much younger and way less mature than Umi. Their dynamic as friends is far better, honestly.

TALLY HALL REFERENCE NO WAY

What fucking world building? A exposition dump that said dere waz sum godz and one was a bad boy and got locked away but then we needed conflict so da bad boy broke out? Gee. I haven't heard that one at least a dozen times before. What is unique about this story?

@@Moe_Posting_Chad Good job liking your own comment. L

@@Blurby-Sir I will always like my own comment. Because it makes people like you angry! Hehe.

MY REACTION EXACTLY HOLY SHIT

THATS WHAT IM SAYING

They also mention in front of the graveyard that they caused this. Plus they react strongly to anything related to the shatter. PLUS they have a compass that can track the shatters of moon.

@@APT2786 Does make you wonder, if they aren't titan reincarnations/avatars, what did they do that shattered their moon, and why do they have a compass that can track the moon shards?

I think the evil titan that was inside the moon somehow escaped so the reincarnations of the other titans have to recollect the moon parts to lock up the bad Titan once and for all ​@@joshuagannon6566

That would explain why they have fangs.

have you listened to the entirety of Hawaii part ii? It's not dream sweet playing in the end, it's the first song, Introduction to the Snow. It's much slower and more contemplative as opposed to Dream Sweet's quick and foreboding introduction, which is probably why it feels welcoming. It's the opening song after all.

@@the_dexman It really is something ya gotta admit!

I'm convinced you are not a human being. This has got to be some kind of positive shill campaign paid to promote the project and give a pretense that there is audience appeal. How much do your services cost?

@@Moe_Posting_Chad Nah I'm a marine biology student who really like nautical settings. Money would be nice tho

Confirmed to be a bot campaign. Wonder how much it costs to buy that service.

Be real man. There are a lot of amazing indie projects, but if I had a gun to my head, this is without a doubt the one least deserving of further development. Nothing to do with style or personal enjoyment. Its just formulaic garbage, its uninspired, I honestly couldn't summarize the plot it just left no impression in my mind.

@@Moe_Posting_Chad valid option, but I'm taking about indie animation as a whole. Also I'm not a guy lol

Oh no wonder you like this trash.

Why do you want more bland garbage? There is already tons of terrible formulaic nonsense. Are you a human being?

I think she’s mute

@@SweatherSniper the giant tube is to help her hear better

@SweatherSniper Oh

@humanintelegence4695 I knew that

This caught me so off guard. We need more representation of disabilities/disadvantages. Great pilot
