I am BEGGING you to watch LACKADAISY

- Less than a week ago the pilot for the indie animated project Lackadaisy released after many years of production, and I mean, WOW. What can I even say. This thing is absolutely stunning, an incredible achievement on every level. The entire history of this project is wildly impressive. It is SO cool to see such a gorgeous, creative pilot come to fruition, and going back to look at the long history of the idea, and the journey it took to get to this point is wildly inspiring. And it seems to have been very well rewarded with over 4 million views in this first week, and hundreds of thousands of new subscribers to their youtube channel. And I think this REALLY bodes well for the future of indie animation. So in this video I wanna look back at the entire history of Lackadaisy, what it took to reach this point, and what the future looks like for not only the project, but indie animation in general.

I feel bad because I know it's going to be endlessly compared to Helluva boss. And this was a good enough pilot on its own.
That all said, it was amazing. And frankly, I love her work and the fact that she did decide to animate her series. Honestly almost prefer the pilot to the comics.
It sucks cause lakadaisey came out years before hellava boss was even thought of
It shouldn’t even be compared. They’re both great in different ways
Imo Lackadaisy blows Helluva out of the water. The author is a master of characterization and world building and as long as she maintains creative control, I think it’s going to do great things. Helluva kind of turned into a hot mess; I don’t think it’s as well written/crafted. No hate, it’s fun, it’s just not on the Lackadaisy level
@@alexmansfield3268 this is exactly how it is with the Omori Game. It's concept and production was before Undertale but because it took like 8 years to finally be complete and be released, like 5-6 years after Undertale, it often gets compared to Undertale and judged as if it is an Undertale-inspired game.
I’m an OG fan of the webcomic and I had NO IDEA this was even being made! Imagine my delighted surprise! It was so cool. I’m interested to see where they’re going with it because there’s already deviations from the comic story but that’s understandable
omg same! the comic is sooooo good. i'm super excited!
I had no idea it was a comic, but spoke to someone years ago who was working on the pilot!
Same here
I belive the reasons for the deviations are that they needed to introduce as many of the main players aswell as just sweet and shortly make it clear what the plot's even about. The first chapters of the comic are great but I don't think they would have worked for a pilot episode. Since the point of a pilot is to just quickly and simply introduce the concept of a show. It's to pitch the idea and put it out there in hopes it'll get picked up and funded so a show can be produced.
@@acanimatics906 oh I agree, I don’t dislike the changes. In the comics it took a while to meet Wick, and the Cajun twins. Better to have the players introduced early
My family has roots in rural Louisiana, and I imagine that digging back far enough the multicultural roots in our tree PROBABLY had a few bootleggers... HELL, some of the BRANCHES still have some form of bootlegging in the leaves XD
Watching this... it felt like a family member telling me a story of "way back when" ... It is amazing, I hope their project succeeds
Really neat seeing how far Tracy has come. She's always been a tremendous talent.
As somebody who saw it uploaded and sent to my recommended around 4 hours after release I can tell you I have watched the pilot over 6 or 7 times now. I absolutely loved this pilot and I've nearly no knowledge regarding the original webcomics. I for one am EXTREMELY excited to see where the story goes next and am going to have to stop myself from looking at the original comic so I don't spoil anything.
(Also I genuinly have such a huge love for the Prohibition 20's era and 40 and 50s noir style they went for, I've always loved things like the old architecture and jazzy music style)
From everything I can tell as a reader of the webcomic, the pilot takes place sometime after the last part of the comic (which didn't have an ending so much as a pausing mid-sentence).
So unless you care about spoiling like potential characters that show up or worldbuilding, you'll be fine to read it and not have story beats spoiled, etc...
My rationale: the clothes Ivy wears in the short are only seen near the end of the comic, and (warning: very minor spoilers:) the coffin wouldn't have been "sunset rose"-filled until after the comic.
@videogamer596 Thanks for the info I really appreciate that 👍
I might go ahead and check out the comics then 😃
@@videogamer596 This is pretty early in the comic. Not right at the beginning of it, but this pilot is definitely not post-comic.
@@innersight6070 No. This is obviously impossible...
Rocky's "Mississippi" poem is near the start of the comic, but in a completely different context.
In the comic, Viktor was seriously injured immediately after Freckle first went into the speakeasy, yet he's fine in the pilot.
Rocky and Freckle don't come into direct conflict with Mordecai at any point in the comic.
It's _either_ after the comic, after major conflicts have been resolved, and Rocky decides to repeat his poem on the bridge; or an alternate timeline where the events and relationships between characters are significantly different (though the characters themselves were not changed).
Based on how the characters interact at the speakeasy in the pilot, it looks far more likely that this is an alternate timeline - the same premise, setting, and characters; but a different story.
You'll be fine reading, as the pilot has been confirmed to be a separate timeline by Tracy herself!
This is very different from Helluva Boss tho. For one, it is set in the 1920s, it doesn't rely much on humor, and the art style is very different. Not to mention, the three main characters have very big difference when it comes to personality. Plus, the lore is the biggest difference. I can't wait for this show to continue.
It has a ton of humor imo
The intro poem had me hooked immediately. The animation, the innate charisma of the character, the smooth movements, the music! I love projects like these that make me fall in love with animation all over again❤
It’s crazy to me Lackadaisy now has an animated pilot, i was reading that in Middle School in 2007. So many awesome webcomics deserve the same treatment.
2007?? How did I miss it??
I was one 😧
@@gwyngwyn_2416 that is incredibly upsetting for me to hear, thank you
@@hambone.fakenamington sorry lol
I wasn’t even born then
it makes me so happy that it has received so many views. there are too many jaw-dropping animations on youtube that barely reach 200k, and its always so sad to see it. lackadaisy deserves every bit of attention it gets and then some
As someone that’s always been infatuated with the history, drama, and style of the roaring 20s and the Prohibition era of the 30s, I absolutely loved this pilot. Really gave me Aristocats and Cats Don’t Dance vibes, two underrated films. I actually wanted to try a Sunset Rose cocktail by the end of it!
This pilot for Lackadaisy is in one word: Amazing!
Speaking of setting up the premise of the show. The Pilot schuffels around some of the scenes from the webcomic. The webcomic begins with a intro explaining the death of Atlas & Mitzi getting Lackadaisy. That opening scene with Rocky does happen a bit later after the intro.
I have a feeling that’s maybe how the first episode in the webseries will start.
This pilot was a marvelous work of art! Much like Hazbin and Helluva, I hope more projects like these continue to flourish because they're giving the mainstream media a run for its money!
The original webcomic was one of my favourites way back when it started. I didn't know about this existing until this weekend, but have already watched it three times. Really hope there is more to come. Absolutely loved every frame of this.
I read the whole current comic at least twice and the joy on hearing Rocky's insanity was immense
I absolutely love Lackadaisy. I love every character! I love every detail! I hope they come out as an entire series! I think I love Rocky the most because he's adorable, musical, and insane; 3 ingredients for a great character.
This is weird. Lackadaisy showed up on my recommendations before this was posted. I'll check it out.
Saber spark made a video. I watched the pilot after he advised to do that, and it was glorious. I went back to the comic and quickly read 10 chapters now I’m hooked. Seeing people pour their hearts and souls into something gives me hope that the independent animation renaissance is upon us.
I also love the construction lines, it’s a great distinct little feature. It took me a minute to notice because I was sobbing watching the opening scene, it was just so pretty 😭😭❤️❤️
I’ve read the webcomic from way back, and was part of the Kickstarter here.
Love seeing a project come together well.
I want them to come out with more short films. such a good story, voice acting, and animation
I am a big fan of the Lackadaisy web comic. When I saw the pilot, I love it. I hope this become an animated series.
Another huge plus for me personally was that they had captioning. Like not auto generated but actual captioning. As a hoh person who has a lot of trouble watching shows without them as music can sometimes be just a little too loud/distracting, it made me immediately have respect for the people behind it without knowing much else. I love Lackadaisy so much, it's so amazing
i ran into the lackadaisy webcomic by total random when they were still in the process of making the pilot and was hooked as soon as i saw serafine because i felt an instant kinship with the voodoo queen and this lead me to buying the lackadaisy emoji pack (despite my inability to actually USE them) and a bad ass serafine poster that is currently pinned to my wall. lackadaisy is both funny and dramatic and i REALLY hope it get's a full animated series because it needs one and i need more serafine in my life.
People should also read the web comic, it's amazing in many ways. The art, story, and ties to history is both unique and well thought out.
It was amazing, Lackadaisy had beautiful animation, characters, music, story and so much more! I have no complaints for this amazing pilot
One of my favourite animations recently is Whitefall. It's a story about wolves with powers and it's very interisting! Would totally reccomend!
My mind is absolutely blow at the pilot. Masterpiece! That opening scene alone was jaw-droppingly gorgeous. The poetry! And the music?! And the animation is next-level, so fluid! Amazing, I'm so excited for more.
Such a brilliant presentation of Lackadaisy as a whole! Thank you for compiling this!!
Thanks for this- I had no idea what Lackadaisy was, but when it cropped up in my feed the other day I bookmarked it because it looked cool and intriguing. Will definitely watch now!
Damn. I did see this on a non signed in account, I meant to check this out but I 1000% will do now. Also thanks Johnny for the other suggestions! Looks amazing! Makes me really inspired to want to finally get my ass in gear and finally make my own stories
Lackadaisy is wonderful. I love the comic so much and this pilot was amazing. I really hope that this animated series kicks off. I particularly love the 1920's Prohibition Era settings and music, so it was nice seeing it come to life.
I hope this, as well as other animated projects, take off and find success.
Honestly, Glitch productions deserves a shout out too. They're making great animated shows right now!
Alright you twisted my arm... I'll watch it... again... for like the 12th time
I started to watch this on my lunch break a day or two after it released. After 30 seconds I waited till I got home to finish, didn't want to cheapen the experience with bad glare and sound.
I've legitimately lost count of how many times I've watched since.
I watched the pilot when it came out, and four months later I’ve read the entire comic and pledged $50 for the series kickstarter. What an amazing show this will be!!
Please just give it a chance i have fallen in love with it and the comics just by watchimh the pilots WATCH IT!!!
I love the comic so much and I'm happy that the animated pilot is so well received. The intrigue the comic creates throughout its run is so GOOD and the art and layout has continued to grow more and more amazing?? It's crazy. Love these gangster cats
Never heard of this thanks for covering it. Any interest in talking about a Fox in Space?
Ooh maybe!
I would strongly second this one - it’s a travesty that it doesn’t also have millions of views by now. In a year where Helluva Boss is in its second season, Lackadaisy premiered, The Last of Us had its first season, and the Super Mario movie dropped, this was somehow both the independent animation and video game adaptation that impressed me most.
It’s done mostly by one guy in a ‘70s animation / neo-noir sci-fi aesthetic that just oozes style, and the dialogue writing and line delivery are a league above contemporary cartoons not named BoJack Horseman. Unlike the frenetic pace of most modern animation, it gives itself room to breathe and languish, which lends it a weight you don’t often see.
It’s incredible that it’s all in service to what amounts to a fancy fan fiction. And not to disparage the notion of a passion project for an established property, but it’s kind of a shame that it’s not its own thing, as it probably means that even in this indie animation boom, it’s not going to get the attention it deserves.
This was a really good video and I agree with a lot of your points. I liked that, even though Rocky's solution was fun and entertaining, the show did still acknowledge how threatening Mordecai, Serafine, and Nico were, and just how lucky the trio was to get out. But I also do agree with you this cast has so much history, and the way it was all introduced did leave a little to be desired as far as hinting to that and the direction of the series. Still great, but if they do get picked up, I agree they may want to be clearer in future episodes. Though, a small correction, the trio is young, but they are all young adults by the start of the story (1927, I believe).
The Lackadaisy RUclips channel has fandubs of their own interlude comics with the same voice actors. They’re short but enjoyable enough if you’re craving more content.
Amazing for a pilot! I havent read the comics yet and it looks awesome
Honestly, 1920s + anthro furry people is just plain interesting. Well, the 1920s in general are an interesting setting.
Also the guns :))) are kinda accurately portrayed, so big props on that
ayyye! Been with this project since 2020. Been part of the discord since the same year. It is so surreal to see so many people love this thing I have loved for years. ❤❤❤
I visited the Lackadaisy site not too long ago, and I had a lot of fun.
Already did, and it is STELLAR AND BEAUTIFUL 🎉🎉❤
Top Notch, kept hearing the name for the past week, glad you recommended, may not have checked it out otherwise
I love that he's doing videos on indie animation, I recommend Murder Drones next.
if you're looking for triumphant adult internet animation, i'd love to see you do a video on a fox in space! it's fallen a little under the radar due to posting its episode 2 close to lacakdaisy, but it's a science-fiction retro thriller for the ages with an equally impressive history. it deserves just as much limelight and support as lackadaisy, imo.
Been reading Lackadaisy for a long time I didn't think we'd ever get a fully animated film and I didn't think it would be this good but I should of known better with the rep it has.
I am so happy to see the incredible skill o these animators and designers that have a platform...even if not as public as they deserve yet
Discovered this series through the pilot. Fell in love with it! My top fav female characters are Serafine and Mitzi. Serafine is my number one though, this guy cannot go wrong with a sharp dressed woman who knows how to handle a B.A.R. And is crazy in all the good ways possible in my opinion.
I enjoy her character so much that I have her tattooed on my arm and I’m proud to say it 😊.
As for Mitzi, well she is just adorable. I lover her character design so much.
Can’t wait to see the new episodes!
Love the whole All Dogs go to Heaven/ Sly Cooper feel it has to it. Definitely gonna peep this.
I also didn't know about it. It just popped up in a suggestion on youtube on release day. I hovered over it and decided to watch it out of curiosity. :) Didn't realize it was such a big hit!
The music, dude - THE MUSIC!
It’s such a wonderful Piece of Art! I’ve watched the Pilot at launch and over 60 times in the last few days. I’m so glad the Pilot has released and I can’t wait for more! I loved Rocky’s beautiful Poetic Serenade to the Mississippi River was absolutely beautiful. I feel like I relate to Rocky the most, especially with his fluency in Poems and his maniacal side. The Pilot and The Comics have inspired me to return to my own Art and to hone my skills so I can make my own Creations come to life. I really really really hope we get more Lackadaisy in the Future. And it truly deserves to have a series with how truly wonderful it is. I’m so excited for the Future! ❤️😻❤️
after watching it at least 6 time...
yes why do i need to watch Lackadaisy, please do tell?
I found Lackadaisy through the pilot, fell in love with it, and found out that there was a comic behind it, and I've been binging it since!
I went to watch LACKADAISY because of this video and I instantly became a fan! I honestly believe that indie animation is carrying modern animation and I can't wait to see more.
I discovered the series when a clip of the characters popped up in my recommended.
Just finished it so good
It was absolutely amazing, easily the the most intelligently written and aesthetically pleasing (I mean it’s fuckin BEAUTIFUL). I love how Tracy’s a huge history buff, it adds a really fantastic dimension of authenticity and character to its setting
Te pilot episode introduced me to this wonderful, wonderdul series. I binged the comic last week. As a history nerd I have to say, where has it been hiding my whole life? How have I never seen it before?
I went into Lackadaisy 100% blind. Gotta say, I knew it was prohibition era but that was it.
Gotta say I loved it but I was nowhere near as enthralled as I was for Helluva Boss but that's just a me thing. I suppose my lack of excitement is simply a lack of context which wasn't quite helped by the pilot but it certainly has my attention now. It's gorgeous, sounds amazing and just like an all around good thing I want to see more of.
Having never heard of this series of comics, and just seen the constant plastering of it on my feed... I did give it a go, as it looked interesting. I ultimately came away kind of... intrigued, but unenthused. For exactly the reasons described around the 7 minute mark. It's absolutely gorgeous animation, and it clearly is a smart series with a lot of the writing... But it really was not clear what the show was going to be.
It feels like it's trying to do what Hazbin did. But, Hazbin established itself down as a premise first. It laid the foundation, and we all have a really good idea what the series is going to look like going forward.
Lackadaisy kind of put the carriage before the horse, showing its animation chops and not really establishing a narrative structure... Which, would be fine if the next episode were to follow in a week, and be sort of standard serialized media. But, as a pilot, a proof of concept? I found it difficult to invest in. I'm still here for more, and I'll definitely check it out when/if there's more of it. But I'm not chomping at the bit for it like Hazbin, or Learning with Pibby :P
I mean, to each their own, but this won me over way faster than Hazbin
Seeing this come out after watching the behind the scenes and previews over and over is so satisfying
I love it! I’ve already watched several times ❤
I mean, I wasn't going to. By the time, Lackadaisy was on my radar, it had a fandom problem. I had no idea that was my issue with it until I started watching this video. I'm over the idea of fandom issues now. All fandoms have them, and if people assume things about me because I like a cartoon, that's kind of a red flag. Anyway, about twelve seconds into this video, I realized wow, I need to watch this show. And probably go back and read the comic, too.
Great video, Johnny! I always trust your recommendations, and I can't wait to watch this. I'm going to cry a lot, I can tell. Pretty art makes me cry sometimes.
it needs 100 million for a hour and a half actual movie release
its past 7 million views 2 weeks after its upload
You don’t have to beg I wanted to watch this for a long time. It’s great to see awesome original animation I can only imagine all the hard work that went into this, well worth it.
I thought the construction lines being left in was a mistake? It's so noticiable and takes away from the pristine of everything else
I would love to see you do a video of other people ongoing kickstarters and wanting to support via recommendations
I agree so much with what you're saying in this video lackadaisy the web comic online that I thought is really good and this pilot animation is amazing and I would love to see more from these characters and the story cross our fingers that the people who worked on this and who ever can offer any support that has the best interest in mind for this series a chance it deserves and doesn't have any bad luck after all the clover fans for good luck ♣️😸♣️
Well you convinced me to check it out. On my way.
Everything I have read says it is a one-time short film, not a series. When did they announce it would be a series?
I think your critique can be answered by the web comics but I don’t exactly know when the hiatus of the comic and the pilot fall on the timeline. I think it’s a little after the pause in the comic just because of where we see Mordecai in the pilot but I’m not sure.
Rocky is my soul animal now. I love that cat
Ill trust anything you recommend after turning me on to Inside Job and Pantheon (Rip damn it) so I will be checking this out
You did not just make mordecai aim at me in the thumbnail
Small detail, rocky is 22
You're bang on thinking it felt more like a short film, since up until it was released we were told it WAS a short film.
I personally hate the construction lines.
iirc, the Lackadaisy pilot originally _was_ a short film, but they changed it to a pilot somewhere along the way.
It was fantastic, the ONLY complaint I had was occasionally, I felt like you could tell the voice actors weren't in a room together recording, and sometimes it was just all around kind of weak
I saw the first few minutes it was alright not my thing though I am very appreciative that we got this though because I adore the animation industry and I love to see people succeed
If A24 decided to go after indie RUclips pilots to fund from now on I would be so incredibly happy.
I wish Lackadaisy all the best going forward! I hope it gets all the funding and creative freedom it deserves
Honestly everybody should watch LackaDaisy. I finish watching the pilot and it’s really good.
Reminds me of cats don’t dance the movie
“My Pride” is one I got really into 🦁🐱
Someone needs to open a bar called Alco-Hall.
Sounds so cool, thanks for sharing
I already watched it and loved it! 😃
Seen & Loved❣
I’m gonna look into the comics 😊
You won't be disappointed, my friend
@@jefelix2010thanks 😊
Whoooooa,.I haven't thought about Lackadaisy in YEARS
Alright, I'm sold.
I'll check it out.
*I said 67sec into the Video
This is as old as me
I agree but there's literally only one episode and I'm jonesing for content now that literally everything is done. TOH, Bob's Burgers, Arcane is still 2 years out. The Dragon Prince s coming back some time in 2026 I HOPE.
Rocky isn’t a teenager, he’s 22 LOL
Right after Lackadaisy pilot came out I became a patreon!!
Someone should share it with the Television Networks!
Wow this looks so gorgeous and fun! ♥
Another good indie animated series on here is No Evil by Betsy Lee.
