Oh boy, another gacha that locks 99% of its combat variety behind gambeling with an extremely improbable chance of every getting somthine even after spending weeks griding for a pittance of the free currency inevitably resulting in you spending money because you have been emotionally manipulated into getting your "favourite" png. Good to see you actively promoting more gacha scams.
The most striking thing about the animation to me is how they’re absolutely not afraid of going off model to play up expressiveness. Like if you pause during some of the more action-y cutscenes odds are good you’ll see damn smear frames. Which is insane to me.
I think the reason the animation is so good is because it is absolutely peaking on a really basic animation fundamental: squash and stretch. Every character gets their actions and mannerisms extra emphasized with anticipation frames (squashing up) before letting loose and becoming extra, well, extra (stretch).
Also it’s really obvious when you compare it to most things with anime art styles, where they usually go for the more conventional limited movement style until like major moments happens. Which is really refreshing to see
I was about to say yeah, I noticed it so much compared to (what little) Genshin I've played. It's a basic technique I'd say but gods does it look so damn good!
Yeah, Zenless devs have really mastered the 12 Rules of Animation, and what's more they know how to apply the rules in service of the character and the story. Every character is given care and attention, and has distinctive animation traits. Nicole is flouncy, and her combat animations are wild and brash. Billy has larger than life movements, and copies a lot of dramatic poses like the Sentai shows he watches. Anby is reserved and interestingly, *never* squishes, but her combat moves are full of action hero signature poses, she is quite literally copying the action movies she loves. Nekomata is very catlike both in dialogue and in combat. Ellen has contrasting traits of sluggishness and explosive action, just like a shark. She often leans or sits on objects when still, but then has bursts of speed and agility in combat. The devs at Hoyo paid close attention to the details, and boy did they cook.
Shen letting out the ugliest, most horrendous giggle in existence after seeing the wolf man at 11:20 is why i started to watch this channel... Never change, Shen, love ya❤️
Genshin: rarity for the MC to speak at ALL Star Rail: more common than Genshin, but still not the most often ZZZ: talk all the time hell yeah let's go, my ADHD is INTO THIS
@kamainu8934 it has already been confirmed. They pulled the contract papers online about the Hoyoverse Content creator program they literally are not allowed to give good reviews to any other gacha game other than ZZZ. It's a predatory tactic on the Hoyoverse part.
Hoyo made a great choice by asking Shenpai to promote this game. I feel like it fits her perfectly. Also, this game heavily reminds me of Scullgirls with such varied characters.
the way this game scratched my urge for bayonetta/dmc combat, TWEWY style and music, then my barely suppressed gambling urges during the beta means my money is in danger. hoyo finally got my ass after all these years
Yeah they're getting me too. I'm so cooked man I thought I was immune but if I end up liking this game I'm gonna try their other stuff. But right now that gorgeous animation, fast paced DMC combat and simple but funky beats just call to me.
2:14 I love the personality in this Billy is running completely straight using those long ass legs to get over the TVs Anby is parkouring like a pro Nicole is just going around the TVs because she is the least acrobatic and carrying the heaviest load (in her hands and in front of her)
I saw a random ad for this game and was really worried it was going to be some sort of basic phone gacha game, while it still has some of that it looks SO MUCH BETTER and I really want to try it when it's out!
ZZZ is my dream game. I'm a sucker for Street Art and Street Wear, so naturally when this game was annouced with it's myriad of styles of characters and the FUCKING DESIGN OF THE WORLD I JUST AAAAAAA. Saying "My God" in english isn't enough so I'll just yell "MEIN GÖTT ALTER!!!!" What a fucking game, I can't wait to get my hands on it by July.
Zenless zone zero is already a fever dream. And I am all for it! The character designs are so cool and cute!!!!!!! This game has a lot of life in it already. Thanks for an amazing video again shen!
The animation in this reminds me a *lot* of Trigun Stampede. They're USING the 3d animation and animating it uniquely and with different techniques from 2d animation, and it's to its favor. There's a sense of squash and stretch that's used that reminds me a lot of pixar. It's very impressive.
Another cool animation detail is that apparently in the character selection and modification screens going through the different tabs has them move between different poses... and the order in which you go through the tabs matters! There are two variant poses for each tab as well as a different transition animation between the poses to make them flow from one to the next logically. The attention to detail in this game's visuals is crazy!
This game is extremely not my usual vibe but you may have sold me on it on style alone; genuinely feels like I'm watching a hype shonen fight scene where teamwork is the key to success. All the characters have such a distinct kinetic moveset and the fact that there's obviously more to unlock has me friggin salivating.
The whole aesthetic of this game being similar to Frutiger Metro, along with Von Lycaon activating my neurons anytime I see him, is really make me want this game NOW!
I have been looking forward to this game, but seeing it in action now and seeing you enjoy it as well, sold me for sure. I am definitely playing this once it launches!
Sticky! To think I'd see you here. But to be fair, you're literally everywhere like those guys with and without mustaches. Hope you're doing well, seeing you brings joy.
The animation in this is stellar! Not into the whole gacha roulette model, but ZZZ is undeniably expressive & smoothly animated . Gameplay looks good too (tho lets hope it avoids the gacha pitfall of having a few OP characters that make it all a boring cakewalk)
I was planning on skipping out on ZZZ, but you convinced me to at least give it a shot. Hopefully it doesn't consume my life or wallet. Sidenote: I really do enjoy watching you and your stuff. Your laugh is contagious and despite having some confidence issues you still seem to put as much as you can into things. Never stop
This game reminds me of Spiderverse but bleeding with 2000s freshness, it looks so good I might play it next year after I finish Tower of Fantasy! (Thanks for posting this today Shen, cause my mum earlier today told me that one of our cats passed away recently and only lived for 5ish months before she moved to live with them so this was the HAPPINESS boost I needed TSYM for this!)
man ive been binge watching your latest videos cuz i kinda stopped watching youtube for months and this is more laugh i had in this WHOLE year lmao. Keep it coming youre a fun-guy!!! :D cant wait for moreeeee (i am in need of your videos more than air to live >:c )
I'm coming to this video post release and it's interesting seeing the differences. The phone UI being streamlined and they definitely got Billy to do some new takes to punch up his delivery. It's neat!
I wish they didn't kill of that Silver Tears boss so quickly. Him crying his eyes out while trying to murder us was hillarious. And yes Billy and Nekomata made me try out this game and got hooked on it. I love how they are animated in cutscenes. Also I really hope that both siblings will be present in the story and one of them will not be kidnaped for half of the story or something like that(for a chapter, cool). It's far more enjoyable to have them both interact with characters and the plot.
This rolled through my recs today and I was like, "Damn, everyone playing ZZZ, lets go." And then you said the bit at the start. And then I realized this came out 2 months ago Damn it youtube.
Coming into this video the only thing I knew about it was that there was an extremely really really REALLY hot wolf man I am now coming from this video with the knowledge that Mihoyo made a perfect game with an extremely huggable cyberpunk Ai Ohto (from Wonder Egg Priority), an extremely dommable Caelus (from HSR), Wrench (from Watch Dogs), combat like Honkai Impact 3rd, character design that would make a God cry (the "this is so beautiful" type of crying), a voice cast more perfecter than the most perfectestest cup of iced coffee on a cool 65° lightly rainy morning, and an animation budget that makes the US Defense Budget look like the pennies stuck to the bottom of your cars cupholder This game isn't just edible, it is a 17-course meal where you think the meal you just had was the best one but the next one is even better
I only just now got the RUclips notification about this upload, I was already aware since I already saved it to watch it later. Only took RUclips 4 hours..
When I first saw ZZZ I thought it was going to be a non-gacha one-time purchase thing. Definitely can’t afford to keep up with 3 Hoyo gacha, so I feel like that kind of backfired.
I've played many gacha games and i have to say that honkai Impact third was the one with the worst rates it's a good game but god is the gacha on it horrendous @@SyLuX636
I kid you not and I don't know why but when I saw that god damn wolf guy I turned into Shen whenever she plays Hades GOD HE'S TOO DAMN HOT Update: I love Ben Bigger I love that god damn bear
Hello, it's my first time watching your channel and bro, you work hard with each video or animations. Channel is E.P.I.C. Thank you for these videos and it never stops.

@@BigFatOfFate bro you can just not play it 😭
that model looks like its seen some shit... and not the good kind either
Once again, I really enjoyed your Animation Shenpai.
The most striking thing about the animation to me is how they’re absolutely not afraid of going off model to play up expressiveness. Like if you pause during some of the more action-y cutscenes odds are good you’ll see damn smear frames. Which is insane to me.
Yeah they are not afraid to turn characters in eldricht abominations old-cartoon style in-between frames.
I think the reason the animation is so good is because it is absolutely peaking on a really basic animation fundamental: squash and stretch. Every character gets their actions and mannerisms extra emphasized with anticipation frames (squashing up) before letting loose and becoming extra, well, extra (stretch).

why do u think it's 50gb for release
@kuroo_nyanko Probably because of the four language packs it is installed with, language packs are massive
Yeah, Zenless devs have really mastered the 12 Rules of Animation, and what's more they know how to apply the rules in service of the character and the story.

I feel like "zenless" is a great way of saying "no chill" and want to work it into my lexicon.
Unfortunately for you, however, you are ZENLESS
No zen?
I can't get enough of this animation. Also Billy is just... Perfect. Cool and dorky in equal measure.
Same. I immediately low-key fell in love with the animation in this game.
This game’s use of animation and art in cutscenes is the exact opposite of Scarlet Nexus’s “animated” cutscenes and its great
Missed opportunity for title to be
Shenless Shone Shero

Save that banger for the full release video
How about Shenless Zone Viro? Eh?

She's under contract to not be able to be negative towards the game. Of course she's gonna be a chill.

Look at the description.she was clearly sponsored. They literally paid her to say good things about the game
yall got some trust issues even if shes sponsored it doesnt mean she didnt genuinely enjoy it
THANK GOD THEY WENT ALL OUT FOR THE ANIMATION LIKE THESE CUTSCENES WERE SO BOUNCY AND SMOOTH!!!
Awww! Bunnypai is so cute!
Edit: The Male MC voice is absolutely smooth. Shenpai has good taste.
God, I wish Von Lycaon would inter-knot me... I mean whaaaaat, who said that
Me and im manifesting it happens to me and only me and none of yall
i have a hunch that bao will say it verbatim
🤨📸
Me!
Damn i think Ben is definitely Bigger down there than my ex... I mean whaaaaaaat
haven't seen animation this good since hi-fi rush
It’s like if Jet Set Radio and Hi-Fi Rush had a baby

I love the personality in this
Billy is running completely straight using those long ass legs to get over the TVs
Anby is parkouring like a pro
Nicole is just going around the TVs because she is the least acrobatic and carrying the heaviest load (in her hands and in front of her)
they gave Billy the Deadpool/Spiderman eyes and it's great
I saw a random ad for this game and was really worried it was going to be some sort of basic phone gacha game, while it still has some of that it looks SO MUCH BETTER and I really want to try it when it's out!
Animation? Sick af
Gameplay? Sick af
Characters? Sick af
Music? Sick af
As far as ive seen
They‘re cooking a freaking banquet

bruh,,,, this game got my art brain going crazy - I'm so looking forward to more
the curse of genuinely enjoying mihoyo games but wanting to anything BUT keep up with 4 gacha games... still... this looks really fucking cool
Billy personifies all the "Dante is a gay cowboy" memes in the best way! I LOVE HIM!
With a hint of Deadpool
The animation in this reminds me a *lot* of Trigun Stampede. They're USING the 3d animation and animating it uniquely and with different techniques from 2d animation, and it's to its favor. There's a sense of squash and stretch that's used that reminds me a lot of pixar. It's very impressive.
20:58
Love that this sounds like it was FIGHTING to get out of you
23:57 His just standing there, MENACINGLY!

Took me a while to see what you mean but with the way those hands are sitting I get it now. Good one.
What is the reference?
@@flyingorange2482late reply but it's the "Here's Johnny!" Clip from The Shining
iirc one of the lead producers of ZZZ is the guy who lead a lot of HI3's CG/cutscenes and thats why it probably has such satisfying animations
Broooo the animations are so bouncy and expressive!!!
I was waiting to watch the vod for this after catching up with the Star Rail vods, a highlight is a welcome surprise
I'll try and upload the vods for it as well soon!!!
@@AeroViro Looking forward to it, and the rest of Star Rail.
No rush Shen.
The whole aesthetic of this game being similar to Frutiger Metro, along with Von Lycaon activating my neurons anytime I see him, is really make me want this game NOW!
Wasn't sure about this game before but its now going to be the game im obsessed with just bc of the animation
I have been looking forward to this game, but seeing it in action now and seeing you enjoy it as well, sold me for sure. I am definitely playing this once it launches!
As someone who has also played the game, i love that the immediate reaction to “your finally awake” is Skyrim
Shenpai's reaction to Von Lycaon pretty much sells this game
Sticky! To think I'd see you here. But to be fair, you're literally everywhere like those guys with and without mustaches. Hope you're doing well, seeing you brings joy.
While I'm no fan of gacha, I have to say the voice acting and just the bounciness of the character animation is so dang GOOOOOOOOD!
This game looks so good, and I love Billy I get massive deadpool vids, really hope you do series on this
Oh fuck those animations got me. I love this bouncy style
I am rewatching this video multiple times, CAN IT PLEASE RELEASE ALREADY
im so hyped up for this game, the combat, the style, everything about it HITS so good
I need to play this yesterday! The animation, the smooth combat, and the characters, they just hit right
okay i 100% need one of those shen-bots from the opening. Feel like i could start my own Despicable me Arc with a couple dozen!
What combat bonus does the Shenboo provide?
Ben Bigger makes me think unholy thoughts.
The animation in this is stellar!

I love how these "Pro Proxy" siblings IMMEDIATELY shove a random street USB into their supercomputer.
"They're knotting on the internet now?"
They've been knotting on the internet for a while actually
I've already made up my mind i will only use the big bear and nothing else
Nah nah, you got to get the Little Miss President as well to go with the bear to unlock their Special Combo
this is the only right way to play the game
If not friend, why friend shaped?

I honestly can't wait to play this game! You really sold it for me Shen, Thank you~
This rolled through my recs today and I was like, "Damn, everyone playing ZZZ, lets go."
And then you said the bit at the start.
And then I realized this came out 2 months ago
Damn it youtube.
oh the artstyle is so perfect AAAAA
I can finally watch some gameplay, and from one of my favs to boot!
For now, I think I’ll like it.
Coming into this video the only thing I knew about it was that there was an extremely really really REALLY hot wolf man
I am now coming from this video with the knowledge that Mihoyo made a perfect game with an extremely huggable cyberpunk Ai Ohto (from Wonder Egg Priority), an extremely dommable Caelus (from HSR), Wrench (from Watch Dogs), combat like Honkai Impact 3rd, character design that would make a God cry (the "this is so beautiful" type of crying), a voice cast more perfecter than the most perfectestest cup of iced coffee on a cool 65° lightly rainy morning, and an animation budget that makes the US Defense Budget look like the pennies stuck to the bottom of your cars cupholder

The game’s style feels like a mix of Splatoon and Persona. I dig it.
Here a month later the day after the official release, it's genuinely such a fun game 😭
Oh and Billy is hands down best character 🥰
I started playing the game when it launched and I actually love it, which is a rarity for this kind of gacha.
Only thing thay will ruin this game for me is the inevitable microtransactions
Hoyoverse game always have the worse rates to force you to pull your wallet.
When I first saw ZZZ I thought it was going to be a non-gacha one-time purchase thing.
Definitely can’t afford to keep up with 3 Hoyo gacha, so I feel like that kind of backfired.
Dread it. Run from it
I've played many gacha games and i have to say that honkai Impact third was the one with the worst rates it's a good game but god is the gacha on it horrendous @@SyLuX636
Its inescapable with gacha games. You just have to have the self control.
Hell ye Shen! Glad to see this
The fact that we have to wait two more months for this to come out is a SIN! I NEED THIS GAME RIGHT NOW
Very soon now
Everytime I see a video about this game I keep thinking it’s out already
Gods I can't wait for this game to release! the animations are so good
The quality of the animation just goes to show... Pay your animators right, and give them plenty of time, and your project will sing to the heavens!
Hoyo has their own animation dept.
@@darianstarfrog Okay? And?
27:15 is why you gotta love shen
Billy seems like a Deadpool cyborg clone, from the one liners to the fighting style...
I love how In this video the character Shenpai and I are simping over is the animation 😂
From "Space Train to the Cosmos" to "Hi-Fi Punk"? This will be interesting...
Would love to see you play this again, I feel like Harumasa is the exact kind of character you'd love
I didn't think I'd like this game when I saw it, but this has about sold me on it. Also, Wise's "I don't understand girls" is amazing
I haven't seen a game oozing with this much personality since P5.
GODAMMIT, SHEN! NOW I KINDA LIKE THE HOYOVERSE BECAUSE OF YOU!
Fuck it, I'm redownloading Genshin due to Shen. What's the worst that can happen?
In the beginning of the video, I thought you sounded like Aiba from Ai Somnium Files. I love that game.
Wowie it looks better than I expected
She got bit by the Hoyobug. Its joever.
this game looks so good it hurts my soul that we gotta wait until like july to play it
Damn, the animation for this game is absolutely batshit.
I like that it dont matter who you pick. You can change anytime, and if you level the people's like, you can play them too
I kid you not and I don't know why but when I saw that god damn wolf guy I turned into Shen whenever she plays Hades GOD HE'S TOO DAMN HOT
Update: I love Ben Bigger I love that god damn bear
11:14 shen inspects the roster
I misread your comment as "Shen inspects the rooster"
I misread things a lot...
Shen's reaction to Von Lycaon is so real
I can't wait till this game comes out. Hoyo certainly got huge over the years, the company started with 6 people and now they are a behemoth.
