I really enjoyed voicing Zale! The animation is so smooth, and the music fits so perfectly as I said before, so I can't wait to voice him again for the later episodes!
Wow!! The art in this is absolutely stunning!! This whole animation is so visually stunning, and smooth! The voice acting in this is also so fantastic!! Ahhh~ I cannot wait to see more! :'D
When will the missing light continue? Probs my favourite story ever... sorry if I'm bothering you, I know how long it takes to animate, just curious if the series is still in your insterests... it would be a sad loss...
Blixemi I thought RUclipsrs had no time to do what they want and were forced to do their job all the time and never get breaks to see their family ever. Im joking, you knew that right? Also you should make a GreyStripe and SilverStream song.
This is my favorite project I've done with Hikarian so far. Composing music for Tales of Zale Episode 1 was really an adventurous experience on my end! The amount of work everyone put into this first episode was tremendous. I'm happy to finally see this released, I hope everyone enjoys it! :D
This gives me guardians of ga'hoole vibes! Not because there are birds, but the ruins and adventure. The whole post-humans world, I'm really digging it!
aaaaaaaaa everything is so pretty and beautiful! And I love Zale and Elva so much, they're adorable! If merchandise ever came featuring their adorable mugs (especially plushies) I would be on those in a flash! Very, very happy to have been a part of this!
wow this turned out amazing. I remember when you sent me the animatic of this BUT THIS....It came out much better. And well done to all the voice actors you all did an amazing job (and I'm hard to impress with voice over work). Music was also another amazing thing fit the world perfectly. The only criticism I can give this is maybe adding in just 1 more frame instead of animating on 4-5s...oh yea and LENS FLARES AND CAMERA SHACK!!! Keep up the great work Sif ;)
Holy crap, these animations are so smooth! And the voice acting!! The voice acting!!! It were so good that I didn't even think to react on it until the end!
+Jonathan Jones WOW! You voice act Springtrap and Bonnie from the Tony Crynight animations, I didn't expect you here. I'm one of your subscribers! Well... Anyways, have a nice day! ^_^
Guys! It quality over quantity! Animations as good as this takes many people and lot's of time. I don't think ANYBODY will be happy if the next is rushed and crappy. Be patient and it will come out eventually.
Well, I'm ONLY 8 years late, but I stumbled upon this after watching your much more recent masterpiece of a short animation of this series. Even though this episode is obviously MUCH older, it's VERY EASY to see the passion and ambition you have for this project. 4:07 is literal proof of this. I mean, COME ON, YOU HAVE TO BE A LITERAL MADMAN to try to pull off that kind of shot so early in your animation journey! It's incredibly rare to see someone ambitious enough not only to attempt it so early, but also show it off publicly AND pull if off SO GOD DAMN WELL! It's downright incredible and inspiring to see such potent talent like that. WELL DONE to you and your team!
This thing is now going to be a book- And a T.V. show. And an amazing fanbace- And a pain in the butt for you bc of all the asking for the next ep- Im hyped
Beautiful! I love the animation, especially how you draw the owl. It is true that some owls stay up during the morning and sometimes wake up during the afternoon, so I think that the timing is good to.
I'm so impressed by how much work you've put into this and how polished the final result is. Your attention to sound design, oft the most neglected aspect by many animators, is especially admirable. You should give Matthew, Ryan, Mack, and Nick a big pat on the back for their help in tying it all together. I really hope this project works out and gets the attention it deserves so you can keep making more large productions like it.
This is absolutely amazing work!! I love it, Backgrounds are gorgeous. Animation is so smooth. Story so far seems good, great pacing, not too slow or too rushed. Even the voice acting has real quality :)
The animation was so smooth and world is so gorgeously painted. I'm in love with it all! I'm looking very forward to seeing more of this series, I can tell its going to be very enjoyable! :)
That was gorgeous! I really dig the setting and tone. It's got a nice dash of whimsy to it and the low framerate didn't stop me from enjoying the performance. Love it! :D
I'm so excited to see this from when I watched it last time! It'll be fun to see where this goes and if a backstory goes along with it on how the humans vanished. And dangit I love this animation so much. It's so smooth and beautiful.
Found this over on Newgrounds and had to find you on RUclips so I could keep better track of this story. Right off the bat, the voice acting is good, but the story you've started seems like it'll be a grand tale. I'm ready for more from this Zale of yours.
This was super lovely and it came out incredibly polished, HK! I really liked the sense of mystery and discovery in this world and I also noticed the little changes you put in your characters from your last pass on critique. This makes me soooo happy and I can't wait to see more of this story :D
i love everything about this--from the visuals to the soundtrack, voices, atmosphere, animation--everything is so charming! it's clear a lot of work and love went into this project. i hope your work reaches a wider audience and i can't wait for ep 2!
This is one of the best animations I've seen in a while! The movements are so good! Most people have their characters stay still while talking, but this is definitely better! It looks like a totally awesome story too! Keep it up!
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!! Everything about is just so perfect, the art style is BEAUTIFUL and the characters are just so appealing and amazingly written! This is my absolute favorite thing ever!!!
This is late, but I just wanna say, I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS! The animation is so smooth and the backgrounds are beautiful, I just can't cx Seriously, this is so good. And the style is so unique and simple and amazing, and the voices (Oh my lord, the voices) are amazing, which isn't enough to say. I love this, even though its short, I know it takes a long time. But this just has to continue, it's just such a unique, adventurous, interesting story. And the characters have personalities that I feel like you put time into. I've never seen a self-animated episode be so good. And I haven't said anything about the background music. It fits perfectly. This is just...Wonderful.
I really love the storybook-esque style of this animation. It really does add on to the animation itself! And the worldbuilding is great along with lovable characters! And the voice acting is great, too! Lovely work. As an animator myself, I always admire the hard work people put out to show to the rest of us.

Outstanding job there, keep it up.
Aw! Your voice for this character was so cuddly and perfect. Great job!
For some reason, the voice reminded me a lot of the english dub of Moomin, from the show of the same name back in the early 90's. Anyway, great work!
Genuinely curious: how old are you?
I'm 18 years old, almost 19- ;;
Wow!! The art in this is absolutely stunning!! This whole animation is so visually stunning, and smooth!
The voice acting in this is also so fantastic!! Ahhh~ I cannot wait to see more! :'D

This feels like a real TV show! I mean...really!
IKR?!

Yeah this is so cool IKR??!
+Lucy McGraw-Pierson this was posted the 7th how did you post this the 6th
+Grace Gamble (Graciegamergirl1) maybe he is in another country
Bro, this has NO RIGHT to be this good, the animation, the sound design. This should be a TV show, not a RUclips animated series.
Euu brodda eww what is u
Yeah your aright
@@Picklecatcookie no need to be rude bro
This is really a high quality series, i really adore this. I can't wait to see the next episode!
Yes! Sif, the animation only got better. Voice acting is quite clean too. Great choice of music. Can't wait for episode 2!
I think I preferred the old animation better tbh
White death bunny of epic foreshadowing!
Betsy Lee don't you mean plot conveence fairy

Also makes me think of the Scurry Graphic novel series

That'll have to be a thing! ...One day!!
oh hey its omahdon
Hikarian Animations Yersh! :B
FadeIntoCase ahm a cat o:
No no don't end do soon! This was one of the best animations I've ever seen, and the scenery was so beautiful. It was just amazing
PhantomX768 Good thing episode 2 is on it's way then : )
Yay
This looks like one of those 2000s animated show. I like it.

AND EXPLOSIONS!!! It's animated on 3's!! 3's!!! Well, most of the way...
This is Like a real Movie my mind is blown
What did you use to animate this? I’m going to be working on my own mini series
When i saw the cat in the ruins i was like "KITTYYYYY!!"
03:00 the snack that smiles back goldfish
Lolll
That was so enchanting!! Really lovely!!
WoAH How DID yOu GEt HeRE?!
+colacatinthehat Ohh, hey nice animations yourself - subbed : )
Oh gosh! Well thank you very much that is very kind of you 8D Look forward to seeing more from you in future UwU
Gotta say, that voice actor for zale should be RUclips famous
I have no doubt you could become a professional cartoon animator and drawer
Holy crap, these animations are so smooth! And the voice acting!! The voice acting!!! It were so good that I didn't even think to react on it until the end!
Exactly one year (exact day) since this animation released. What happened to this idea?
+Jonathan Jones Wauv, time sure flies doesn't it? WELL WE'RE WORKING ON IT YA KNOW!
+Hikarian Animations I know right! Time just goes by quick! I'm looking forward to the next part for sure! Keep up the fantastic work!
+Jonathan Jones WOW! You voice act Springtrap and Bonnie from the Tony Crynight animations, I didn't expect you here. I'm one of your subscribers! Well... Anyways, have a nice day! ^_^
+Fay The Fawn Band Trash Thanks Fay.
+Jonathan Jones Just a random fan of your amazing voice acting! Cool to see u competing on something I guess? lol

At least it means you don't have to wait for the next upload :P

Why isn't this popular? It's better than most tv shows today and the animation and voice acting is better too!
Zale's voice kinda reminds me off Rocket Dog's, somehow, just a tad more goofy and a less silly tone :b
This thing is now going to be a book- And a T.V. show. And an amazing fanbace- And a pain in the butt for you bc of all the asking for the next ep- Im hyped
The emotions are so good,like just the animation of the faces are so good
Man, it's great to see web animations with decent quality voice recordings. No popping, cracking, or buzzing to be found!
This is just completely amazing and fresh. I'm loving it a lot, the sound, music, and voice production is fantastic.
Excellent work for an independent series! Great start, this has huge potential.
The world needs more Hikarian Animations. Fantastic work!

This is by far some of your best work, you've really outdone yourself with this animation, everything about it is so smooth!
Oh my, this is wonderful animating, the animation is smooth, it has scenes that change beautifully, this is an inspiration!
The production value jump from the pilot to the first episode is insane; great job!
This is absolutely amazing work!! I love it, Backgrounds are gorgeous. Animation is so smooth. Story so far seems good, great pacing, not too slow or too rushed. Even the voice acting has real quality :)
The art direction, animation, acting and everything else is highly professional. Incredible work.
A vast improvement from the pilot, the amount of time to draw such fluid animation must of been extensive!
I completely agree with the people saying "make a movie", but that would probably take a year, and money.
I'm in love with this.
I found this almost 10 years after it was released, and I think it's great! Keep up the amazing work!
truly amazing! this series is definitely one of my favourites already!!
I love it! Indeed very clean audio. I also like how the chicken goes all tsundere on Zale at 5:04 ^^
This feels like a TV shows about that just got put on Netflix.
I hope this gets a REAL series on Netflix or something it deserves it
This is 9 years old. We ain’t getting no netflix, but if it catches popularity then maybe on YB.
@@Wagyu42true, but it's still really good
The animation was so smooth and world is so gorgeously painted. I'm in love with it all! I'm looking very forward to seeing more of this series, I can tell its going to be very enjoyable! :)
Love this! Great job!
This is WONDERFUL! The animation, the music, the characters... It's all so cute and charming!! I'm so glad I discovered this!
Hikarian Animations Nice artwork! And Omahdon, your voice is awesome as usual. Evil, but awesome.
That was gorgeous! I really dig the setting and tone. It's got a nice dash of whimsy to it and the low framerate didn't stop me from enjoying the performance. Love it! :D
I love it! The movement, the backgrounds, the color, the characters, the voices, the story, and every. frikin. thing. this. thing. has. Love it.
I'm so excited to see this from when I watched it last time! It'll be fun to see where this goes and if a backstory goes along with it on how the humans vanished. And dangit I love this animation so much. It's so smooth and beautiful.
THAT WAS AMAZING! Very well done, it got me very interested. This was an original idea, and I am really excited for the next one! Good job!
The animation is so smooth so is the designs of the characters. The story is also amazing.

Awesome, it's out! Looks and sounds great! Glad you're doing this again, looking forward to see where it goes.
i love zale's ears and voice
This turned out fantastically! You're a superb animator and the atmosphere of this show is really interesting.
Utterly charming.
Wonderful art-style/animation, and a refreshing tone for an internet cartoon.
This is one of the best animations I've seen in a while! The movements are so good! Most people have their characters stay still while talking, but this is definitely better! It looks like a totally awesome story too! Keep it up!
