A tale of missed notifications. ;D Guys this was LOTS of fun to make I have to say, and I'd love to do more with this format. I'm currently working on the new Ds3 toon atm. Btw, I will give away the Storyboard and Wallpapers for this short to all my Patrons, regardless of what tier they are. Without their support, this short would never have seen the light that's for sure. I hope you enjoy it!
Glad to see a short but sweet treat from you with this brilliant animation, just hope you're doing ok with the weight issue you mentioned during the seasoning of ash video.
I didn't think someone would be pure enough to make a 6 minute animation just to tell his subscribers to turn on notifications. You sir have the best animation channel on RUclips hands down
Matthew Shezmen That’s the thing. He didn’t. He went to the trouble of making a funny video. Rather than demand something from us, he offered something to us. It demonstrates why you may *want* to enable notifications, instead of just telling you that he wants you to do so. It’s respectful. Classy. I like it. So I subbed and clicked the bell. Because he earned it. It’s crazy how treating one’s (potential) viewers/fans/customers with a modicum of respect as if they’re actually semi-intelligent human beings who can make their own decisions and not slaves who exist to do your bidding because *you said so* seems to elicit a more positive response... Hm... Weird, man... Maybe someone will tell EA about this shocking new discovery...
This was the the funniest, smartest, and most respectable way to ask for viewers to fix a channel. I liked, I subscribed. I rang the bell. Great Job ✋✋
Same, watched a video from him here and there (basically just the dark souls ones), but it’s so damn high quality and now with this clever way of advicing people wrapped into an enjoyable video, I couldn’t not subscribe and ring the bell.
This took a really sincere turn, and it made me smile. You’ve always been so down to earth and honest with us, and Shez, you shouldn’t ever feel like you can’t ask us for something like this! We love and support you, man!
I have to say that the person that gave his voice for Oswald top-notches the character. Oswald always made me grin or laugh by seing him when playing Dark Souls: PTD edition.
When I saw this the first time I thought his sin was that he pirated the game, and Oswald was the Anti-cheat system built in to screw over people who committed the sin.
I wonder if Games today still use this. Last time I seen a built in anti cheat into a game was in spyro 3. Where the game detects you are playing a pirated copy and blocks you from getting to end game. And after that it deletes your save... Talk about punishment
That’s a pretty cool idea actually. Gives pirates a demo, and they can buy the game (or do more advanced pirating) to progress. By the time you defeated the gargoyles you probably know whether you like the game enough to spend money on it
It's a love/hate thing, I use his ass to save me when I accidentally try to decapitate my blacksmith. His time will come though... *Claymore intensifies*
Yeah, that would be amazing! I spent most of my time with DkS1 in the series and it really grew on me. I hope we'll see a DkS1 Parody in the next 5 years.
4 years late but.... dude... I absolutely love you work! Please keep doing your animation and voice acting, please keep this passion of yours burning, you are very talented and so damn funny it hurts. Never give up... never surrender...
I really appreciate that you actually have standards and don’t like using cheap tricks, but with the quality and work you put into these videos you should definitely use whatever you can, you deserve 10 million subs.
Shez, my notification bell was pushed long before this video. RUclips should add a new bell to remind me to re-watch your videos every week. This is how good they are! Good luck into the future.
The idea that notifications should be separate from subscriptions is ... not a bad idea, per se, but not good either. Many sites let you customize notifications from users you follow, but it has to be implemented well.
kyle hohimer Exactly. It was funny. He didn’t just say “Remember to SMASH that like/comment/subscribe/notification button!” He went to the trouble of making an entertaining video. So I say he earned it. Trust us. People named “Kyle” are smart.
Dude this is one of your best animation in my opinion. I like the short duration concept of it to get the message out. Maybe you should try more short style vids like this. But what matters is you do what feel like doing so just keep up the good work man. I love your work as always
Good Hoonter That’s more like it. Remember the immortal words of the great philosopher Jay-Z, “If you’re feeling like a pimp, [hoonter], go on brush your shoulders off.” (Shoulders, cape- close enough) And if you ain’t feeling like a pimp, cousin, you ain’t ready to hoont them beasts...
I’m a random person who stumbled upon your videos and now binge watch them. So not all of us are mean. I love your animation skills, story line, and voice actors. Plus the accents are just top notch.
Big fan of your work honestly. I've played and lived through every moment of these games and have had my own sotry built from it. To get to see yours is truly great and I wish I could get to see the actual game play footage of your playthroughs haha
This was almost the best part for me. Your comedic timing is amazing, and your jokes are incredibly relevant to the community, its really impressive. Your animations seem to accurately represent the darksouls OG experience better than any other. Its like the whole channel feels like a loveletter/ injoke at this point. Also thank you for how hard youve worked on these, it shows. ALSO ALSO DID YOU IMPLY AT THE END OF THE VID THAT YOUR GONNA MAKE ANOTHER OF THESE??? JESUS CHILL YOUVE DONE SO MUCH. DO. YOU. SLEEP?
What you don't know is that there are actually TWO bells of notification. One up above and the other down below... PSYCH!!! I'm just kidding, there's only one!
Man i love your animations. What really impresses me is the attention to detail and the many easter eggs. You actually researched how many souls you get for killing Oswald. Really cool.
Dude I'm from Brazil and your first video that I saw was about ds3 and I loved... Unfortunately I forgot to ring the bell and subscribe, well I got the message keep doing your amazing work dude... I loved the animation
i must say i was very impressed about your last uploades and good work just.... it takes time.... and im happy to ring a bell ! keep up the good vibe :D
Shez, I truly, TRULY appreciate the amount of work you put into your animations, it’s crazy with the amount of effort you put into them. Proud of your work man, the clever little things you throw in, the humor you have, everything is great, I don’t feel as if you get many appreciation comments, but here’s this. Keep up the work shez I love you :)
This dude must have amazing delts the way he can keep his arms held up like that 24/7... Seriously, try holding your arms straight out away from your body like that while keeping them perfectly still for just one minute. Try it. If you last ~20 seconds, I’d be impressed. I can’t do it either. I’m gonna try it right now. For real. Brb. Update- Ok, I actually managed a minute and a half, but still... Point being, it’s a hell of a lot tougher than it looks... dat lactic acid tho... feelin’ it, man...
So i love the animation style, and honestly, out of everyone on RUclips, this is the most creative way to tell your audience to ring the bell. You got a sub and a like from me. Keep up the good work man!
This is the first video I've EVER watched that made me actually *-Desire-* !! to happily subscribe and hit the bell after watching this vid.. fun content and finally an honest content creator . (I'd only seen one other video of his b4 this one btw and this really sold me)
This video got me to subscribe before you even mentioned ringing the notification bell, but mad respect for making this long animation just to tell us this 😁
This video made me go "Keheheheheheh!" out loud. Good stuff. I've only played one, so I will probably come back and see all your Dork Souls 3 vids after I play it.
This isn't a problem for me because legit I've been waiting for the last part of Matthew's dlc animations since he first uploaded his first ds3 video XD
This reminds me of a story I had regarding Dark Souls and especially Oswald the pardoner. One I had almost nearly forgotten about, until this little animation jump-started my memory. So, get this, I had just gotten done helping a friend do their Artorias of the Abyss story, spending WAY more time than I'd care to mention down in the Chasm of the Abyss, fighting Manus over and over, until finally winning and deciding to take a much needed break. Unfortunately for me, I had decided to pay a visit to Oswald for some stuff, because invaders out the wahzoo, but then went to grab a drink afterwards. While still in the game. In front of Oswald. See where this is going? I come back just a little bit later, undisturbed by anything because 'big level', only for things to go immediately wrong. All that time in the chasm had more an effect than I thought. Because seeing an already creepy-looking guy, half-shrouded in shadow and standing there looking far more menacing than ever just...made something snap. And before I realized it, I was already swinging my 'Greatsword of Artorias' (cursed) into Oswald. By the time it hit me what I was doing, I was already past the point that he'd NOT be hostile to me anymore, so I had no choice but to 'Old Yeller' him. The rest of my playthrough was haunted with goody two-shoe justice-seekers and made NG+ that much more difficult for me. Thanks Shez, for making me remember all that. Really. At least, hopefully, this was worth a chuckle for someone else. Still, keep up the good work! Always enjoy it.
This is awesome, making a cartoon to not forget to ring the bell ;) Don't worry I have that on so everytime you make something I will see it :) Thank you so much for you effort man! Stay awesome!
Amazing and funny video, all throughout! Dark Souls, the only game in which annoying npcs are sometimes too risky to kill. Oh well we love them for it. Now what was the message of the video, ring the... two bells to protect animations from the... ehm... inflation of soul prices by 20%? Ok.

Damn Straight! XD
Wat a way 2 tell ppl 2 "Hit the notification bell."
more like how to Bring up an issue that's been plaguing a lot of the platforms user base in an honest and respectful manner.
What a gentleman
@@Frogthewizard no offense but was that really neccesary?
I love how Oswald never opens his mouth to talk.
Indeed, almost every NPC from DS do that
I dunno why, but in his case it is so obvious (maybe most of others wear helmets)
I think the only NPC that does have animations for talking is Andre the blacksmith.
@@phtevenmolz5030 and the primordial serpents and Alvina.
@@zombyjano true. He might be the only humanoid to move his mouth, though. I know there's a fan theory that the undead have a kind of telepathy.

Glad it made you smile dude :) Have a good day!
@@Shezmen88 The funniest part of this video was Solaire flying towards the sun at the end. Haven't laughed that hard in a bit
Amen
I have to say that the person that gave his voice for Oswald top-notches the character. Oswald always made me grin or laugh by seing him when playing Dark Souls: PTD edition.
6:15 - OH! There it is! My Amiibo!!
PRAISE THE SUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And greetings from germany by the way!
Our lord hath come, PRAISE THE SUNNNNNNN
PRAISE THE SUUUUUUNNN, our lord and savior Osca... I mean Solaire has appeared before us \ )^(/

This is literally the only video that actually made me want to ring the notification bell. Keep it up 😂😂😂
Yes! Me too :D The only channel i ringed the bell of!
Same for me i dont ring bells normally but this made me think twice
Lou Butternubs this video made me want to ring the bell too XD
6:16 my boy Solaire finally getting his own sun
When I saw this the first time I thought his sin was that he pirated the game, and Oswald was the Anti-cheat system built in to screw over people who committed the sin.
I wonder if Games today still use this.
Last time I seen a built in anti cheat into a game was in spyro 3. Where the game detects you are playing a pirated copy and blocks you from getting to end game. And after that it deletes your save... Talk about punishment
Just having an invincible Oswald t-posing in front of the ladder taunting you with a lisp would be the best ever!
That’s a pretty cool idea actually. Gives pirates a demo, and they can buy the game (or do more advanced pirating) to progress.
By the time you defeated the gargoyles you probably know whether you like the game enough to spend money on it
After watching this, I immediately loaded my Dark Souls game went to the Belltower & murdered the shit out of this dude.
Han Woi I did the same exact thing
Same
I am currently playing Dark Souls as i watch the video.
ehehehe, awesome :D
It's a love/hate thing, I use his ass to save me when I accidentally try to decapitate my blacksmith. His time will come though... *Claymore intensifies*

Very clever! I did not see it coming lol
Glad to see you here dude! ;)
I shall pusheth thy notification bell. I bid thee fare-dy-well

This reminds me of a story I had regarding Dark Souls and especially Oswald the pardoner. One I had almost nearly forgotten about, until this little animation jump-started my memory.
So, get this, I had just gotten done helping a friend do their Artorias of the Abyss story, spending WAY more time than I'd care to mention down in the Chasm of the Abyss, fighting Manus over and over, until finally winning and deciding to take a much needed break. Unfortunately for me, I had decided to pay a visit to Oswald for some stuff, because invaders out the wahzoo, but then went to grab a drink afterwards. While still in the game. In front of Oswald.
See where this is going?
I come back just a little bit later, undisturbed by anything because 'big level', only for things to go immediately wrong. All that time in the chasm had more an effect than I thought. Because seeing an already creepy-looking guy, half-shrouded in shadow and standing there looking far more menacing than ever just...made something snap. And before I realized it, I was already swinging my 'Greatsword of Artorias' (cursed) into Oswald. By the time it hit me what I was doing, I was already past the point that he'd NOT be hostile to me anymore, so I had no choice but to 'Old Yeller' him. The rest of my playthrough was haunted with goody two-shoe justice-seekers and made NG+ that much more difficult for me.

Still, keep up the good work! Always enjoy it.
Not to mention the excruciating pain when you get cursed.
This is awesome, making a cartoon to not forget to ring the bell ;)

Dark Souls, the only game in which annoying npcs are sometimes too risky to kill. Oh well we love them for it.
Now what was the message of the video, ring the... two bells to protect animations from the... ehm... inflation of soul prices by 20%? Ok.
That was great, loved that last scene with Solaire.
Hey Matthew, keep doing an awesome job with your dork soul videos. My sister and I can't get enough of the animation and comedy. Stay awesome!!!
