That would be me
I salute, sir
It's... it's been over a decade
But... it is still a master piece
The song.
The animation.
The meanings.
It brings me back to my childhood
I was worried I wasn't gonna find it, after not seeing it for 4 years.

11 years later, still gives me chills
and I will bet my life that in 11 years it will still do the same.
@@Xeno_Xero I'll be sure to show this video to my grandkids when I get some in many years time.
@@Everloom03 we need to keep this tradition alive. I salute you.
No clue why this animation from 11 years ago appeared on my recommendation page when I was watching a 2+ hour long review/analysis of dark souls 1, after I had watched two Minecraft videos, a rain world video, and a pvz April fools video, but still liked it nonetheless
Fr
Found another piece of my childhood memory. Im continuing my journey finding more of the pieces.
true masterpiece of childhood :((

2 years ago I commented, now I’m back again, to say, I still love this thing
even after 11 years... this animation still warms my heart, I watched it for the first time when I was 3 years old and today I'm 14 and I guarantee that every second spent on this video was worth it
Remember seeing this 5 years ago.... nostalgia hit like a truck
same here
I watched this 8 years ago
7 years... 7 FUCKING YEARS
So did the bullets
Now it's eight and it was at my recommendation section
The moment where I, as a kid got into animations and arts. This animation was my source of inspiration 😩❤️

This masterpiece over here... It brings a piece of my childhood I thought I had lost.
Finally after all these years... RUclips has brought me back to you.. my old friend..
Same here, I would watch this everyday because the animation was amazing and the music because i didn't know the name of this song.

Is it a perfect time to use the meme:
“You’re still as beautiful as the day I lost you”

Yes yes how to train your dragon amazing
Lol
Oh no you didn't
In spanish: estas tan hermosa como el dia en que te fuiste
If you would take a look slightly to the left you can see I’m a fan of the franchise
this video always finds its way back to me
I remember watching this in 2015 on my old OLD galaxy…. This was peak animation and story telling and still is!
This animation inspired me to be both an artist and an animator. I saw this when I was 11 years old. I'm now 18 nearly 19, and now I'm in college studying in graphic design and animation. Thank you so much for inspiring both me and the other thousands of other artists that had the honor of watching this masterpiece.
seeing this again make me feel old
Theres a good lesson to take from what you've said
And it is to create all art is art it doesn't have to be good to inspire creation
Same
Bro this song is so old that I wasn't born when it came out
Same boat as you
When I first watched this as an 8 year old kid, I became obsessed with this animation, and I wanted to know more. When you brought the sequel, Explorer. My mind was blown away! I just wish that I could have seen more to this world that you've created. But if this is it, I am glad to say that I've grown up knowing that this exists.
so you're 18 now?
@@VAN1UM Close, I'm 19.

I wish the story continued as well. As a fellow writer (3 novels that nobody reads) I personally got into storytelling with Alan Wake in 2010. Or that is when I started taking it seriously.
I salute to the man that said salute to everyone who returned to watch this again. 3 years later
12 years still a masterpiece
Even after a little more then 7 years, this animation still inspires me when ever I come across it..

Heckin best thing ever I got a violin on my tenth birthday just because I wanted to play this in my room (ps I watched this for the first time when I was like 7) (little did I know violin is hard and my brother is even more of an asshole than I thought)

Now my drawing still sucks and I'm currently stuck with flipaclip

WOW I TO!
NOONE CAN STOP ME FROM FINDING EVRY NOSTALGIC VIDEO ON THIS PLATFORM
I believe that if this series continued it would be very good and I would be willing to watch it as soon as it comes out
To all soldiers out there, still waiting for the next update. I salute you. We saw this as a kid and grew up thinking about this masterpiece, we got to see 'The Adventurer' and also loved it. Now we're patiently waiting in the shadows untill we have become grandparents and can show our grandkids the whole series. Once again, I salute you all
Ahh yes the whole series being finished in 2035 because the animator has school💀💀💀💀
You better

Fun fact I was actually desperately trying find this again because of nostalgic feelings for days until I was studying for my exams and randomly thought: "the guardian..."
12 years, and it is still nostalgic to come back to, saw this animation when I was 8, and I am now 14, I was actually looking for this video for about a few hours now, and I am very happy I found it again. God Bless to the people that come back to this video in 2024.
After all these years
It showed up once again
This appeared as the very first thing in my recommended when I opened youtube, looking VERY familiar. Then it hits me. THE MASTERPIECE IS BACK AFTER 10 YEARS. Spread the word. The Guardian is Back
SAME BRO I WAS TRYING TO FIND THIS FOR ABT 2 YEARS NOW
Indeed, The Guardian is Back!
Watched it 5 years ago didnt know the name suddenly it appeared on my for you page

GUARDIAN GUARDIAN GUARDIAN GUARDIAN!!!!!!🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🌱🌱
2022, almost 11 years later. I still come back to watch this video out of the pure fact it was my first youtube video i ever watched, and im happy it was from a telented artist like you. You have been inspiration to me to make my own stories and start to practice animation.
Thank you.

It has been over 4 years since I heard this
For me maybe 9 or 10 years
I forgot this even existed, memories
It’s been 12 years and it still doesn’t get old
I’ve been searching this for 3 YEARS AND I FOUND IT!! ITS SO WORTH IT!
I remember when everyone wanted this to be a series....
I'm still waiting. Is that a good or bad thing?

Still wanting soooooo badly
I'm sad he never finished this.. Cuz he made one other called the explorer, and at the end there's three more beams, red,purple,and blue. So I'm guessing he was gonna make three more characters.. I'm sad he never did.. That would have been awesome
He is making the blue one rn
@@saneeshjoseph2620 HOLY SHIT REALLY
Same
Yeah same
the blue one is called „the clairvoyant“ and its currently in W.I.P. right now and it also has a prologue you can watch, they also changed the story a bit
We need a series on this! Gives me goosebumps every time I watch it. 2024 anyone?
Yes
Here I am
its been...so long and I still remember it, and it literally game me chills just from the music
I came here after 8 years.. IT'S STILL BEAUTIFUL
I was dead then
Will never not be beautiful
Too
It even was on TV once
@@mogaming5793 wait... WHAT? when? where? please share
These animations and sounds are so good that sometimes you want to forget, so as not to suffer from the fact that there will be no continuation :(
They will, just that they are finding ideas to expand the lore first, then they'll make sketches of concepts and then get into the animation phase.
@@impuristic bro it's been 11years
All you can do is hope Hope it's srong
There is, it’s called “the explorer”, and he is currently working on “The Clairvoyant”
@@Paradox3427 at least there the chance for it to be really good seeing as it bin 11 years in the making
Finally!
I've found this precious treasure that I've lost years ago.
I can finally rest easy now.
12 years later... still no differences always the legend.....
Eight years after I first saw this and it will always be at the front of my mind. I first got into writing and storytelling because of this series back when I was fourteen, terrified of going in to high school, and now I'm twenty-two, confidently leaving college. I hope you understand what an impact this little series has had Nero. I, and thousands of others, will always come back to this.
Hope you have a good time, nice story. :)

Damn I don’t have any words for this masterpiece this really impacted me in my drawing and animations
I’m kinda mad this master piece isn’t a series like when I think of all the possibilities for the story to go from this one “episode”
Actually there's two more episodes, this series is called Engel Series, link: ruclips.net/p/PL5u4toCnB58HC5c0RZDJuvn6S-9w8TXyz
Actually there is explorer and clairvoyant is being made and it has a prologue

YESSSS. UR RIGHT BRO!
Indeed. Its animation quality is absolutely stunning.
Eh it's ok
It was a long animation made 7 years ago. It was surprisingly good ok
I remember watching this when it came out..
Such nostalgia..
It inspired me to be an animator
I still love this animation even if its been years
You haven’t fully experienced childhood without seeing this.
Ok boomer
@@darkridrago6146 Okay Millenial
A strong statement, I'd say it's good but not THAT good.
Darkri Drago ok disrespect person that I know I will live longer then
Well I’ve watched this 10 times now so does that count
Might've been the coolest animation of 2012.
I found this when I was a kid bro💀. I remember it so fondly and it **STILL** holds up today.
Man, i watched this real long ago and watching this back and the animator is back, im exitited as what will happen next :D
Good to know I’m not alone
Same here
Me three
Same it was only 3 years old when I watched it
Hes back that's great news
After so many years.... I still cry with how amazing this animation was done.
this in 2012 was more than art, it was cinema
this animation made my childhood, i don't know, if i even would become an artist without this chanel and these animasions
Even though I’m this was 8 years ago I still want it to be a series
Edit: Tysm for all the likes I’ve actually never had this many likes and it’s been 9 years since this was made and it should still be a series like a full out series with a season or two but that probably won’t happen because it would of happened sooner if it was happening
i mean it is tho
But there’s like only two episodes
That still counts as a series...also there's more than just 2 episodes theres like 4 sooo
Yeah
Same
here's to 10 years of the guardian, thank you for making our childhoods
It’s so good I shed tears when I come back
Still holds up so strong
The combination of the story and music makes this truly a masterpiece
Who else has come back and just loves this legendary video?

It's sad to see something like this never have a proper ending... or a continuation at least. It ended right after the explorer, if I'm not mistaken.
Good animation and the song is amazing
Genuinely I can’t stop returning to this place. One of the first animations that really made me feel something.
Five years ago I watched this and though "OMG this is really cool", now, Five years laters it made me cry, it is just so... Wow
My brother showed me this when I was about-- 8 I believe, heh time flies doesn't it??
