Welp, ONE MILLION views in just seven months on a dumb passion project I didn't expect to break 1000 views, thank you. It's been a year and seven months since I've graduated and through all these turbulent times and struggles since I've had trying to make a living off of an artistic craft, I do have a few regrets about not being experienced enough to capitalize on the momentum and do more art with Naomi n' Valerie. If you've been following me more closely... then you know that I value my craft as an animator highly and that I've been genuinely trying to improve in an industry that largely had rejected my output and artistry. That said, I plan on returning to my full-time passion projects in January 2025 and finally animating a follow-up mini series or pilot film for We Love Cold War 2.0. I've already been making arrangements with voice actors and a composer to up the production value a bit and make this something I can propel into the future with a lasting legacy... And to all those who've watched or rewatched and kept coming back to We Love Cold War even after all this time... Thank you, genuinely with a history enthusiast's heart, showing that attention to detail and a bit of fun in this hyper-specific niche can pay off, thank you. But this is not the peak of my career, there is yet work to be done!
Fun fact: the animation displays an interesting quirk of the Citroen DS. As it has self-leveling hydropneumatic suspension, it can actually drive on 3 wheels, which saved the life of president Charles de Gaulle on an assassination attempt on the 22nd of August, 1962, similar as shown here. There are multiple videos on the internet showing Citroen test drivers driving them on 3 wheels as a bit of a party trick as well.
@@mrfitkawhat are you talking about? The view from space during the nuclear war scene shows that both the USSR and the US were wiped out. It was also implied that Valerie killed Americans in Hollywood earlier on in the animation. And most of the deaths shown directly were German, not Russian. Not that any of that matters. At the end of the day it's a purely fictional animated short, it's really not that deep.
You're in luck then. It's all heavily fictionalized and the focus is on a surprisingly wholesome family vibe for a spy thriller but Spy x Family is very much inspired and built on Cold War spy aesthetics.
' Monster ' is set in Cold War Germany, both sides. I haven't watched it fully and it is not a spy thriller but it does have mystery and political intrigue while being serious.
I watched it political intrigue is secondary to the series and it's not political outside of much of the setting excluding..certain details@@lucidlywaking7286
The inspiration for the X McXFace meme comes from the time the british public voted in a public contest to name an artic research ship "Boaty McBoat Face", itself an homage to a popular internet owl named Hooty McOwlFace. The British authorities were not amused and went with Sir David Attenborough instead, but as a sign of good will they used the winning name for one of the ship's AUVs

I love how this was both batshit crazy and also completely accurate. The “batshit crazy” part includes the Trabants going fast enough for a chase scene
Trabant best car! I remember that in my mother's village, there was a grass-coloured Trabant model, and a confused donkey started eating it. The fun part, is that it had no trouble chomping into the weak materials that were used during production, so it took 3 bites until it realised that it wasn't grass. XD
The Cold War was quite a departure from the World War arcs. The fans were initially disappointed the teased sequel never came but as time has gone on fans have warmed up to the charm and lower stakes of the Cold War arc.

2:32 Fun Fact: This shit is real. It wasn't even invented during the Cold War but much earlier, during the times of the Great War (alternatively, the "war to end all wars" War). Before you ask, yes, blame the French. Somebody thought it'd be a great idea or just downright hilarious to strap an artillery cannon to the front of a military moped. Surprisingly it *_A C T U A L L Y_* works... somewhat. You don't actually shoot it while driving (I know, disappointing) since doing so would send a recoiling blowback so intense you'll careen off the dirt road and fall into a comically deep ravine like a Looney tunes character. Instead, it's supposed use is basically just a more mobile artillery cannon which you have to fire while stationary.

As someone who is a Cold War history enthusiast and an animation enthusiast, this hits me and every right spot. My favourite little detail. Naomi MK ultra. Both are where CIA projects. Good job dude I hope to see more of this.
@@NeostormXLMAX come think of it TF2 is meant to be a parody of the Cold War itself, with the two rival corporations each controlling half the world's governments and represented by the colours red and blue, a la Warsaw Pact and NATO, and their mercenaries fighting in diverse locations akin to myriad proxy conflicts waged by the superpowers during this time
Due to it being in space, if the gun was just a giant revolver it wouldn't work cuz there's no oxygen to engine the powder. And the force of it shooting would launch the shuttle in the opposite direction, likely absolutely wrecking it in the process.
@@krum1703 powder contains both fuel and oxydizer, in fact all explosives are self contained chemical reactions, that's why weapons and charges can work in vacuum, underwater, etc... you'd be right about launching the vehicle in the opposite direction but I don't know about wrecking it, if the vehicle weighs tons and the projectile "just" kilograms, it'll just change its orbit depending on how much energy is behind exchanged here, unless it works like a carl gustav or a mass driver, in which case there's no change on the vehicle at launch
@@krum1703 Not quite right, gunpowder has an oxidizing agent in it that provides the oxygen so the gun can still fire. Now the recoil on the other hand, it would depend on the engines and the caliber of the gun itself.
Fun Fact: the scoter with a cannon was actualy a unit that meant to be used by the french expeditionary forces in Vietnam, they were first designed in 1955 in italy and was first produced in 1956 until the fall of Dien Bien Phu because they were useless for the Vietnam war. theyvwere used as anti-tank vehicle by paratroopers as they got a 75mm cannon , they could penetrate a 100mm thick armor, they were easier to manouver and the last thing is that the model they used was a Piaggio Vespa 150. Holy moly 700 likes that is crazy
@@ceu160193 Yes but Vietnam only used armor on a mass scale in the 60s against USA and South Vietnam. IDK how a scooter with a cannon would be useful against the mostly guerilla army the french faced. Maybe a scooter with a .50 cal on it would be more useful.
@@quan-uo5ws Its basically a mobile artillery gun get creative. It was effective vs infantry in Korea plus in Vietnam they could have probably loaded it with flechette shells. Also you don't fire it on the Vespa it carried a tripod you deployed it on.

They're both ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE at their jobs. I love them. Also, really good work on the firearms, the M14, the star decal on the Soviet's Makarov, the use of the Hush Puppy instead of a 1911 like I mighta expected, they're very solid. I also like the whole back-and-forth thing, and the slow countdown of the DEFCON system as the situation escalates. Not sure why the East German police were using PPShes and old Great War era Artillery Lugers but the animating of their action cycling was pretty great. Also, the Hammer-And-Sickle batsignal made me die laughing. 10/10, will probably watch again in the future.
@@chine7775 Huh. Turns out you're right. Although it was the Grenztruppen using the PPSH, but that was an error on my part to begin with. And they did use those.
@@Danila_Korotkov02 it wasn't the reloading of Stinger. She was preparing it to fire by inserting the BCU unit (Battery Coolant unit) that powers the target acquisition system for about 45 seconds and cools down the seeker so it can better lock on the target.
>ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE Hey, cut them some slack. These two are best of the best of their respective agencies. That's why they can't kill each other no matter what they try. Also, since they are the best field agents the USA and the USSR have to offer (or all they have), no one is brave enough to fire these two.
I just love everything about this. The cold war aesthetic is so damn good. All the references are insane, and you did not skimp on any. HIGH OCTANE ACTION! It felt like I watched an entire anime in 4 minutes and I can't get enough of it. All for a thesis film.... This is pure insanity and I love it! GREAT WORK!
This the type of anime to have 5 seasons, one for each defcon. With each one getting more violent and louder than the last. With each season getting closer and closer to an action film rather than a spy movie
This goes INSANELY HARD The vibrant colours, the sillouette, and the flowey flow of the animation makes it so unique that its just SO GOOD😭👏 And as well as the sound too! The sound effects just make it so much more exciting Its not something i noticed at first but then i realised that it was what gives the animation so much energy

Wow I never thought I'd ever see someone make an anime of the Cold War but this was amazing to see. You did a wonderful job with this and I'm so happy that I got recommended this, because I get to see amazing animation and a new artist to follow, can't wait to see your future works.
Makes me wish this could be picked up by a studio and made into a full on series. It looks like a blast to watch as I've rewatched it like half a dozen times!
Not a single word was spoken and yet I felt all the excitement, emotion and humour. I would definitely watch this if it was a short TV series. It has the heart that's absent from the mainstream productions today.
Ok the fact it accurately gets the nitrogen cooling cell for the stinger and that the cytroen C3 had hydromatic suspensions which can make it drivable even with only 3 wheels is god damn amazing Edit: just noticed that in the end she crashed in an Avrocar VZ-9AV flying saucer. Amazing
This was REALLY WELL MADE! Dang, dude! If it didn't sound like it'd kick your butt six ways to Sunday I'd kill to watch it as a show! Feels like a fun premise, and it goes off on its own lil alt history which I think is cool. Loved the Mecha references 🥺 I'm gonna be honest: lost it and cackled at Eagle McEagle-Face
For those who don’t know: the “DDR Rocket Scooter” is a real vechile (not German tho) and is called the Vespa 150 TAP and was used and made by the French against guerrillas in Algeria, it was a recoiless rocket that could pierce 100mm armor from 7,000 yards away and had to be airdropped, it was very easy to assemble, it had to fully stop moving to be able to fire (so this animation isn’t fact checked for it but oh well) Still a really good animation tbh
I mean the soviets wouldn't likely use mi8s for ground convoy escort but yeah an mi8 in most configurations tends to be carrying some form of cargo that could be extremely important based on supply doctrine of the time. So they would have been high priority targets for the mujahideen who would likely be using a mixture of early Soviet and American manpads which the mi8 isn't good at defending against.
Are you serious? Fire the helicopter on plain terrain is 100% accurate? This person would be killed instantlty, when pilots see the horserider with stinger. Helicopters have defense against the rockets. So I don't believe in it. It would be real, if partisan was on a mountain, behind the rock or something. Not on a WHITE horse, on a plain.
That seemed way longer than just 4 minutes. It was an eternity of pure bliss to my eyes, the dorkiness of it all just brought absolute joy to me! I would watch this anime in a heartbeat. Here's a suggestion guys, make some merch. I guarantee it will sell. ❤❤❤
It’s cool when authors use the topic of politics or history for creative purposes, without giving preference to one or another ideology or view of events, but skillfully playing with images and symbols, leading to an interesting moral. The contrasts are placed so subtly that you see not a confrontation between two enemies, but a rivalry between two friends, almost cooperation in space exploration. It turned out to be a crazy game of associations - a continuation of the "Cold War" after the evacuation from the cooled Earth to the cold Moon in cold space. It's literally an alternative Star Wars prehistory. P.S. I translated it into Google and sent all complaints to their headquarters. Lol, I just finished a game yesterday with similar post-irony (Kujlevka)
Забавно и мило. Хорошо, что соблюдён баланс в силе сторон. А победу США в конце (в космосе) можно принять за соблюдение канона настоящей истории (хнык-хнык, я грущу и плачу).
Не только в космосе, братишка. Если присмотреться на концовку, то видно, что город находится на фоне Земли. Можно сделать вывод, что правительство США и какая-то часть населения улетела на луну, оставив разрушенную после ядерной войны Землю. Я не сумасшедший, там действительно так.

Never knew I wanted an animated adaptation of the Cold War until I saw this. I get some neat gunsmith Cats vibes from this too. As someone who did animation at university I'd like to say YOU SIR are a brilliant animator and visual designer :D
The entire animation but the ending shot felt so warm cozy the designs son point the mc eagle satellite is so on point with america and the small idea I hope these two characters will make it in another video like you eluded to in the description That ending shot of them looking at each other it felt so nice and calm

Studio Trigger doing _Lupin the III_ meets _Team Fortress 2._
Yeah this very much gave me red vs blu tf2 vibes which also takes place in the cold war
@@NeostormXLMAX come think of it TF2 is meant to be a parody of the Cold War itself, with the two rival corporations each controlling half the world's governments and represented by the colours red and blue, a la Warsaw Pact and NATO, and their mercenaries fighting in diverse locations akin to myriad proxy conflicts waged by the superpowers during this time
v1 meet v2
nah fr Im obsessed with lupin and studio trigger stuff, absolutely loved this animation
And a hint of Gunsmith Cats, I think.
Soviets: Meet the Sputnik 9000!
Americans: Cool, meet gun.
Soviets: What?
Americans: *gun*
Due to it being in space, if the gun was just a giant revolver it wouldn't work cuz there's no oxygen to engine the powder. And the force of it shooting would launch the shuttle in the opposite direction, likely absolutely wrecking it in the process.
@@krum1703
Did you know gunpowder and cap don't need oxygen?
So lack of oxygen might reduce performance but still can ignite.
@@krum1703 powder contains both fuel and oxydizer, in fact all explosives are self contained chemical reactions, that's why weapons and charges can work in vacuum, underwater, etc...
you'd be right about launching the vehicle in the opposite direction but I don't know about wrecking it, if the vehicle weighs tons and the projectile "just" kilograms, it'll just change its orbit depending on how much energy is behind exchanged here, unless it works like a carl gustav or a mass driver, in which case there's no change on the vehicle at launch
@@krum1703 Not quite right, gunpowder has an oxidizing agent in it that provides the oxygen so the gun can still fire. Now the recoil on the other hand, it would depend on the engines and the caliber of the gun itself.
@@krum1703yknow the Soviets fitted an autocannon to a space station irl, right? Salyut with a 23mm, if I recall correctly
Fun Fact: the scoter with a cannon was actualy a unit that meant to be used by the french expeditionary forces in Vietnam, they were first designed in 1955 in italy and was first produced in 1956 until the fall of Dien Bien Phu because they were useless for the Vietnam war.
theyvwere used as anti-tank vehicle by paratroopers as they got a 75mm cannon , they could penetrate a 100mm thick armor, they were easier to manouver and the last thing is that the model they used was a Piaggio Vespa 150.
Holy moly 700 likes that is crazy
Did Vietnam even have any tanks in the 50s lol
@@quan-uo5ws They did have some Soviet equipment since WW2, including T-34 tanks and even AA guns.
@@ceu160193 Yes but Vietnam only used armor on a mass scale in the 60s against USA and South Vietnam. IDK how a scooter with a cannon would be useful against the mostly guerilla army the french faced. Maybe a scooter with a .50 cal on it would be more useful.
I believe the full name is Vespa 150 TAP do correct if I am wrong
@@quan-uo5ws Its basically a mobile artillery gun get creative. It was effective vs infantry in Korea plus in Vietnam they could have probably loaded it with flechette shells. Also you don't fire it on the Vespa it carried a tripod you deployed it on.

Sir you just described me.
Now I want a complete season, what amazing animation, the characters, the settings, the historical accuracies, everything is wonderful.
The start giving off gunsimth cats vibes and all the small technical details is just perfect, great work!

Yeah, except both characters in this video look actually likable
"Same time next week?"
"Same time next week."
This really has potential to become a full series. Congrats! I loved it
They're both ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE at their jobs. I love them. Also, really good work on the firearms, the M14, the star decal on the Soviet's Makarov, the use of the Hush Puppy instead of a 1911 like I mighta expected, they're very solid. I also like the whole back-and-forth thing, and the slow countdown of the DEFCON system as the situation escalates. Not sure why the East German police were using PPShes and old Great War era Artillery Lugers but the animating of their action cycling was pretty great.
Also, the Hammer-And-Sickle batsignal made me die laughing.
10/10, will probably watch again in the future.
East German police did use PPSH 41s and Lugers
@@chine7775 Huh. Turns out you're right. Although it was the Grenztruppen using the PPSH, but that was an error on my part to begin with. And they did use those.
@@Danila_Korotkov02 it wasn't the reloading of Stinger. She was preparing it to fire by inserting the BCU unit (Battery Coolant unit) that powers the target acquisition system for about 45 seconds and cools down the seeker so it can better lock on the target.
>ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE
Hey, cut them some slack. These two are best of the best of their respective agencies. That's why they can't kill each other no matter what they try. Also, since they are the best field agents the USA and the USSR have to offer (or all they have), no one is brave enough to fire these two.
I just love everything about this.
The cold war aesthetic is so damn good. All the references are insane, and you did not skimp on any.
HIGH OCTANE ACTION!
It felt like I watched an entire anime in 4 minutes and I can't get enough of it.
All for a thesis film.... This is pure insanity and I love it!
GREAT WORK!
I'd Sma-
This the type of anime to have 5 seasons, one for each defcon. With each one getting more violent and louder than the last. With each season getting closer and closer to an action film rather than a spy movie
Nice work on the animation and colour - holy shit the historical references are amazing.
This goes INSANELY HARD
The vibrant colours, the sillouette, and the flowey flow of the animation makes it so unique that its just SO GOOD😭👏
And as well as the sound too!

Wow I never thought I'd ever see someone make an anime of the Cold War but this was amazing to see. You did a wonderful job with this and I'm so happy that I got recommended this, because I get to see amazing animation and a new artist to follow, can't wait to see your future works.
Makes me wish this could be picked up by a studio and made into a full on series.

I would definitely watch this if it was a short TV series. It has the heart that's absent from the mainstream productions today.
Ngl the name “psychoactive measures unit” goes hard
Ok the fact it accurately gets the nitrogen cooling cell for the stinger and that the cytroen C3 had hydromatic suspensions which can make it drivable even with only 3 wheels is god damn amazing
Edit: just noticed that in the end she crashed in an Avrocar VZ-9AV flying saucer. Amazing
This was REALLY WELL MADE! Dang, dude!
If it didn't sound like it'd kick your butt six ways to Sunday I'd kill to watch it as a show! Feels like a fun premise, and it goes off on its own lil alt history which I think is cool.
Loved the Mecha references 🥺
I'm gonna be honest: lost it and cackled at Eagle McEagle-Face
Someone give this guy a contract to make a series, I'd watch it.
For those who don’t know: the “DDR Rocket Scooter” is a real vechile (not German tho) and is called the Vespa 150 TAP and was used and made by the French against guerrillas in Algeria, it was a recoiless rocket that could pierce 100mm armor from 7,000 yards away and had to be airdropped, it was very easy to assemble, it had to fully stop moving to be able to fire (so this animation isn’t fact checked for it but oh well)
Still a really good animation tbh
This is so awesome. Replayed it at least 6 times and will replay it even more!
We gotta get this recommended on the algorithm!
The Afghanistan part is 100% accurate, any anonymous Mujahideen member will fact check
I mean the soviets wouldn't likely use mi8s for ground convoy escort but yeah an mi8 in most configurations tends to be carrying some form of cargo that could be extremely important based on supply doctrine of the time. So they would have been high priority targets for the mujahideen who would likely be using a mixture of early Soviet and American manpads which the mi8 isn't good at defending against.
As an Afghanistan Mujahideen this post has been fact checked by true Afghan patriot
This is clearly a Homage to Call of Duty Black Ops 2 rather than an real historical
Are you serious? Fire the helicopter on plain terrain is 100% accurate? This person would be killed instantlty, when pilots see the horserider with stinger. Helicopters have defense against the rockets. So I don't believe in it. It would be real, if partisan was on a mountain, behind the rock or something. Not on a WHITE horse, on a plain.
Was on the Soviet side instead of mujahideen, but I can confirm this is 100% accurate
This video have so much potential to turn into a full series frfr
No matter how many times I watch this masterpiece, I have to remind myself that if I push myself, I can don the exact same thing.
It's so crazy how this animation is so good but not more popular, it's seriously a very good animation
I’d watch this as a series
not a cellphone in sight, just people living in the moment.
Cold war anime opening is real
Ive rewatched this a dozen times purely for the music in the backround
That seemed way longer than just 4 minutes. It was an eternity of pure bliss to my eyes, the dorkiness of it all just brought absolute joy to me! I would watch this anime in a heartbeat. Here's a suggestion guys, make some merch. I guarantee it will sell. ❤❤❤
This is maybe the most underrated video i have ever seen
It's also the best thesis I've ever seen
My good lord this is beautiful! The animation flows like butter and the atmosphere is purely amazing.
WE MAKING IT OUTTA THE WATERBOARDING SESH WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥🔥
The aesthetic, artstyle, colours, smooth animations, historical references, easter eggs, everything about this is just-
*PERFECT!*
If a Command and Conquer Red Alert anime ever happens they should 100% hire you
It’s cool when authors use the topic of politics or history for creative purposes, without giving preference to one or another ideology or view of events, but skillfully playing with images and symbols, leading to an interesting moral. The contrasts are placed so subtly that you see not a confrontation between two enemies, but a rivalry between two friends, almost cooperation in space exploration. It turned out to be a crazy game of associations - a continuation of the "Cold War" after the evacuation from the cooled Earth to the cold Moon in cold space. It's literally an alternative Star Wars prehistory. P.S. I translated it into Google and sent all complaints to their headquarters. Lol, I just finished a game yesterday with similar post-irony (Kujlevka)
