HUGE shoutout to the amazing animators who worked on HI3. They made this. extremely. difficult. Also, I know I'm nitpicking these animations, but remember these are already professional, high quality animations. Mad respect to the animators at Hoyoverse, as usual!! See you guys at the next stream twitch.tv/dillongoo
The thing is, these animations range from whenever they added animated ults after the game came out in 2013, to 2023. I know you had an objective approach, but just keep in mind that for example, the Fu Hua animation with the Phoenix is MANY years apart from Herscher of Sentience Fu Hua. That's why there's such a contrast in quality. Great video btw!
Well for example yea, haxxor bunny initial ultimate animation is average but the selling point is the field support animation, because you count ice rita follow up animation, haxor bunny B
Yes. Honkai Impact's uniqueness comes from the fact that they keep a lot of the legacy, including early story narrative styles and simpler ults. Where most people new coming in would criticise with "what is this cheap-looking garbage?", the increasing changes in quality and animation starts showing as you progress up the ladders in character acquisition and story progression. I'm usually miffed with people constantly dunking on the early parts of the game, but I recall fondly the legacy that we have experienced, and I wouldn't want it to go away. PS: Also valid criticism of the old ults from around 2017-2019 perhaps, since those were "cool" for their time. You probably won't know this but some unique battlesuit costumes have modified ultimate effects, but you won't have access to them unless someone provides you the clips.
they've made so many better animations but flamescion will always be my favourite simply because of the symbolism. it was a reference to another crucial plot point
Flamescion here in the vid had the effects after the impact frames hidden by the shitty map wall. Would've looked way better if the showcase was a different map.
This game being Hoyo's first 3D game makes it bound to have inconsistencies in quality imo but damn when they hit, they HIT good fr. Also, the animated shorts 👌👌👌
@@DatAsuna It's the work where you actually see a difference in quality as you go deeper through the story. From the actual story to the animations and everything in between.
@@jrbudoybudoyit was like that with genshin too lol. the animations at first were really odd like compare how stiff it felt to Mavuika vs Capitano. Love the growth both games have gotten over the years.
19:50 they tried SO HARD with finding a pose. The betas are all public and recorded on youtube. One can go through all the versions of her poses, its so funny. They wouldve kept going if they had time, im sure.
Let's not forget that Senti is a support unit, not a DPS. You wouldn't know because she can do astronomical levels of damage....if you finesse her enough. With the addition of the latest premium weapon, the BRICK, she became a DPS.
Why would there be those black bars exist either way?? Like why do those even exist? I get it those black bars exist because then you would have easier time to read the subtitles in any movies and Anime but this is a game why would Mihoyo also decide to put black bars in her Ultimate too? Those bothers me i want the whole thing of it just full screen like every other Ultimates too
@@Shadow82311it’s like a cinematic film where the bars sort of cut off part of the frame. Then it zooms out along with the bars disappearing that creating a more dramatic zoom out (is what I’m assuming at least).
the main takeaway here is that a lot of these ults are just held back by the dated graphics. they have some great ideas but like you said, the facial expressions kinda pale in comparison with the newer games like HSR and ZZZ. still for a mobile game that's like what ? 7 or 8 years old ? they actually cooked.
@@kuvjason7236 nope, all 4 use Unity, however HI3 is held back by the fact that it still uses old rigs and is a mainstream mobile game + it's a really old game. I don't think Hoyo has ever used any other game engine but Unity. It just comes down to how old it is, what rigs they still use, and what platform they're trying to cater to. HSR and GI is luckily enough to cater to PC and high end consoles meaning that they can increase the quality without compensating for performance albeit Genshin's quality is lackluster when it comes to in-game models (that can be explained for many reasons though)
It's great to see where Mihoyo's animations began. We started with this, and now we have Zenless Zone Zero, where the robot character has the most squash and stretch, and 13 out of 16 ultimates so far have impact frames. Mihoyo have always been amazing animators
I would love to see you rank honkai impact 3rd's animated videos next, like that herrscher of reason one, Cyberangel: ZERO Exception is insane, old but amazing
There were *so many* that he missed. Wait until he finds out there are, like, six or so Bronyas that he didn't cover (even if some of them aren't that good visually).
Looks like it was cut from the video. Look at where he's pointing out critiques for Adam's Ultimate. The frames we see is from his 2nd ult, despite us only seeing the first ult in the video.
We did it, he actually made a video for da Honkai ultimates! Edit: I felt like there were quite a bunch missing though, like all the APHO2 characters have at least 2 ultimates, there was none of the Sakuras, none of the Himekos, no Starlit Astrologos (one of my favorites) ect. Not sure if they were cut out for the YT video or if they weren't in the video he watched on stream.
Most of the ultimates usually do not stop the timer on fights and with every second your scores goes down, I want them as short as possible... unless they made them to stop/slow the timer, timestop is a thing in the game.
10:10 that is not her attacking backwards, she went and extended the claws towards her back, and swung it towards the enemy for more momentum, the whole three sequence of her attacks are totally meaningful, but the last sequence where the silhouette is confusing… i can agree with
15:00 going to comment here: I do agree with your observations, as despite the way reality works in Honkai, the animations still need work for most. Anyway, Carole isn't actually wearing her gauntlets, they instead float near her fists. It's actually noticeable in the victory screen if you end the stage with her.
Having less pauses and frames are important for those ults with no time stop effect on them sp the faster the better gameplay wise. That's why moonbeam is rarely used for her ult. For HoF she did have a short (broken) sword and during her turn the floating shards she has fuses with the sword that's why its long after her slash but its only noticeable if you pause it and know where to look
@@fireblade6346Yah, the Ults in PGR have bigger pay off cause of the Gameplay prior to them, more especially Characters like Alpha CW and Bianca S who I'm pretty sure a lot of people expect Him to put at the Top if He Reacted to their Ults, but I can see Him putting them in either low S Class or High A cause of their unnatural movements or even change of momentum like He pointed out for some Characters On this list
It was really interesting seeing things from an animator's point of view. The way you explained how things could be better was really good. Nevertheless, all these ults were indeed really amazing and we all are a sucker for impact frames haha. Possible video idea could be ranking the victory animations?
Would be cool to see your reaction on the skins with different effects. There's not a lot of them, but some skins cahanges the effects drastically. For example Time Runner for Herrscher of Flamescion Kiana and cat-swimsuit skin for the Herrscher of Finality Kiana. Yeah, I mention two Kianas but because I really like the effects on them.
Your insights into these animations as an animator are extremely nice to hear and I won't lie, I would absolutely love for you to watch the cinematic animations they do for the story as well.
These are some fantastic critiques! I love that fact that you are still impressed by some of them even when they rank low and they way you describe why you rank them the way you do is so easy to understand. Even though I have no idea what would look good during any of these animations other than big sword go boom, I can totally agree with every point you bring up. "Yeah that totally would have looked better if sword/space/face etc." I think a couple of other commenters have brought up the same but I would love to see your critiques of PGR especially. Either way keep these coming, they're great!
Funny to mention about dead eyes. A lot of the characters models does not have a 3d face (at least the old ones), they're Texture. It's obvious when you play as old Fu Hua and Sakura battlesuits. Don't think they'll update the design. Plus in general they don't have a very expressive emotion unless the ultimate is very close up to their face
I remember being in the Japanese side of the community.. There was a meme showing the animated shorts for the game with the caption "What anime is that?" And below it, it says "It's a game." with Honkai's logo. Will always love this game more than Genshin or Star Rail, especially as someone who's played it for a fairly long time, the current features available is so good for both F2P and P2W. Also, I didn't think I enjoyed someone's reaction to these ult animations this much.. Loved it! Much love man!
I literally have goosebumps watching these. I took these animations for a lil bit granted. Thanks for reminding me how amazing the animations for hi3 is!
So fun fact, certain Ultimates have alt versions based on the skin used, and the final ones seen actually also have alternative versions themself, as each of the 5 last ones have 2 Ultimates. And they are ALL good!
I almost never leave comments and this will probably get buried but I loved watching you analyze all the ultimate animations in HI3! I've been playing this game for years and years so I definitely have rose tinted glasses but it was really refreshing for you to look at this from an objective, technical stance. Most times I get distracted by the pretty vfx and colors but I learned a lot from your video!
I may not be an animator be your comments always teach me alot about how to push a composition, perspective, and silhouettes to its best and still look good.
Huh, never knew you were the one who did that Genshin Impact fanmade animation thing... nor did I know you also worked on RWBY vol 3. Smol world. You did a great job on it, and your Genshin Impact fanimation showed how much you've improved as an animator. Keep up the good work!
I am so glad you checked out HI3! Especially with a-lot of the ults being references towards the actual story! This game is so snappy with the gameplay and I’m glad someone is giving credit towards the animators
What makes it more impressive is that there are some gameplay restrictions where these animations have to work, e.g. some animations have to be a specific length
Since I saw your reacting to honkai: star rail video I've been paying more attention to the animations of every game I play, I'm in no expert when it comes to animating, but seeing and appreciating the little details has made playing more fun for me. One I've been loving so far it's epic seven's skills animations, you should check them out, they have A LOT of characters and constantly realising new ones, so maybe only reacting to the moonlight characters would be best. I really like your content, keep it up!
Loved this video and the commentary was super interesting! Would love to see in the future maybe looking into the Animated Shorts of the Honkai Universe. Thanks for the great reaction!
I would REALLY like to see a review of the animations of the PGR characters. Chinese version, since there are more characters have been released so far and older ones have been optimized. PLEASE
In 10:57, it really wasn't done yet Bright Knight Excelsis has a special weapon, much like how Senti had the brick So BKE Durandal's special weapon is something called Abyss Flower Liminal Spiral, and that gives her a 2nd ult animation that shows a full moon in the bg so I'd say you try looking into that
Bro this is a really good and interesting commentary video. I wish HI3 gets more attention like its younger siblings, so I really appreciate your content. U are a legend. I'm glad that I find this video even that I'm late a month for it.
Thanks for breaking down all the animations for honkai impact 3rd As many have said, would love to see you break down PGR and animated shorts for hi3. But one thing I would like to see you break down are joint ultimates from aether gazer Most chars have at least 1 or 2 join ults and would love to see you break them down and rank them
I absolutely love watching these video, they're so entertaining! I'd love to see you rank their ending poses (They're not that long so I'm not sure if it can be a full video) it's probably the best part of ending the stage with certain characters :D
You should also check some of hi3rd’s animated shorts like Final Lesson, Shattered Samsara, or Everlasting Flames. Hi3rd has some of the best animations for their game to the point I wish they’d add similar animations to Genshin and star rail at some point
Also one thing to note for the bits that aren't part of the actual cinematic, you can control the camera angle for those bits so that is also something to consider.
Also, the reason why Vill-V's drop fast is that if the hat takes to long to drop, people will not pull for her because she eats away too much buffs duration. lol
After recently (2 hours ago) stumbling across these videos and watching the entirety of rwby last month, i have to say i love the content, keep it up! Would love to see one of these types of videos for the ultimates in tales of arise and/or the limit breaks in the final fantasy 7 remake(s)
It has been a great experience hearing your inputs, almost all of which I couldn’t see for myself on my own. I wish someone from HI3 sees this and hires you as a consultant or something.
Would be awesome if your do a tier list for Aether Gazer ultimates combo, and Punishing Gray Raven ultimates aswelll. Those are two great games with amazing animations
@@xendordawnburst9969The Animated Shorts actually. I like the Everlasting Flame and Graduation Trip animations, though I think Goo prefers combat animations and there are some that doesn't have that
I loved this video! I think you should try watching some scenes from Trigun Stampede! You'd really love it, the animation feels so fluid and the characters feel lively. I'd love to see your reaction to it.

I JUST REALISED IT BECAUSE OF THIS COMMENT… 😭😭😭
MAY ALL... THE BEAUTY BE BLESSED
Yea, at least flamescion A- because of the void fire explosion at the end
@@INTJ791 its all personal opinion. i love her symbolism with the slash and the explosions.
Flamescion here in the vid had the effects after the impact frames hidden by the shitty map wall. Would've looked way better if the showcase was a different map.
“This is also Bronya?”
Bronya is the CEO of Mihoyo, you didn’t know?
With Honkai Impact 3rd it's pretty easy to tell when a battlesuit is dated with how simple/basic the camera work is and effects are
This game being Hoyo's first 3D game makes it bound to have inconsistencies in quality imo but damn when they hit, they HIT good fr. Also, the animated shorts 👌👌👌
HI3 in general is like that where as you keep playing, you see another year of the studio's growth
@@DatAsuna It's the work where you actually see a difference in quality as you go deeper through the story. From the actual story to the animations and everything in between.
It's not inconsistency. newer units simply have better animations because the teams are more experienced.
They are consistently improving.
In true HI3 fashion, even the animation gets powercrept over time 🤣
@@jrbudoybudoyit was like that with genshin too lol. the animations at first were really odd like compare how stiff it felt to Mavuika vs Capitano. Love the growth both games have gotten over the years.

No, you wrong, she was and always will be support. She support by killing everyone by herself!
ah yes, the classic Senti is a dps/support debate.
new weapon already made her a DPS though and Seele is now taken her role
I haven't played honkai impact 3rd, but the idea of a DPS whose weapon is brick is amazing
She's a support, the support of violence
YOU SHOULD WATCH THE HONKAI IMPACT 3RD ANIMATION SHORTS
reacting to all might be too long, but one at a time and commenting on it would be really cool!
19:16 I'm surprised that he didn't talk about the black bars expanding. It's probably my favorite part of the ult
I am a big fan of when any media plays with aspect ratio ❤

I definitely agree! I can't imagine how good some of these concepts would look if Hi3 was made today.
The game engine is also entirely different than what GI/HSR and ZZZ uses.
@@kuvjason7236 nope, all 4 use Unity, however HI3 is held back by the fact that it still uses old rigs and is a mainstream mobile game + it's a really old game.

That's why I'm hyped for part 2 actually, it's like teaching an old talented dog new tricks
@@SilencePandaathey are changing that in part 2. It looks like they used the GI Unity engine.
You should be reacting to their CG animations scenes
Yessss I’d love to see that!!
Also pv and version trailers
It's great to see where Mihoyo's animations began. We started with this, and now we have Zenless Zone Zero, where the robot character has the most squash and stretch, and 13 out of 16 ultimates so far have impact frames. Mihoyo have always been amazing animators
honestly im a bitch for impact frames but i feel like over using them kinda makes them lose value
I would love to see you rank honkai impact 3rd's animated videos next, like that herrscher of reason one, Cyberangel: ZERO Exception is insane, old but amazing
this
Im a reason main but naw the thing was ehhh
Here's another idea for an animation tier ranking, rank the cinematics for Honkai Impact 3rd. They're legit bangers
I don't wanna worry you, but you missed the alternate ultimates for Timido, Carole, Adam, Bronya and Mei. We need part 2.
Also all the skins 👍
There was also Keqing, but she wasn’t a permanent character
And he missed a bunch of ults from like rita and others.
There were *so many* that he missed. Wait until he finds out there are, like, six or so Bronyas that he didn't cover (even if some of them aren't that good visually).
Looks like it was cut from the video. Look at where he's pointing out critiques for Adam's Ultimate. The frames we see is from his 2nd ult, despite us only seeing the first ult in the video.

Most of the newest ults do have the timestop tho??
@@castielysia yeah
That’s actually beneficial in some cases
Every S-rank since Senti full stops timers on cast. If you're using some rando DK-less S-rank from pre-HoS era that's your problem
But they do tho, record your play in abyss and you will see, ultimates in hi3 stop the clock and doesnt lower your score
You should try looking at the ultimate effects of the characters in the game Punish: Gray Raven. It's really great

As many have said, would love to see you break down PGR and animated shorts for hi3. But one thing I would like to see you break down are joint ultimates from aether gazer
Most chars have at least 1 or 2 join ults and would love to see you break them down and rank them
I absolutely love watching these video, they're so entertaining! I'd love to see you rank their ending poses (They're not that long so I'm not sure if it can be a full video) it's probably the best part of ending the stage with certain characters :D
I would die to see you rank the ultimate animations for Punishing Gray Raven, some of their animations are really cool
Ayo? Where my keqing?
You should also check some of hi3rd’s animated shorts like Final Lesson, Shattered Samsara, or Everlasting Flames. Hi3rd has some of the best animations for their game to the point I wish they’d add similar animations to Genshin and star rail at some point
Man I been waiting for this ever since the Starrail one came out! I love HI3rd ults so much man!
The dome thing of Elysia is such a cool 😎 deal, and it's SO PRETTY 😍
It's really nice to see things from an expert pov, makes me apprecites details more 👍
These are so cool you should totally check Aether gazer or PGR out as both have amazing ultimates (for aether gazer skill chains and PGR gen 2.0)
The startup noise in hor's ult makes me want to play the game again that is so addicting
Please watch the Honkai Impact 3rd Animated Story CGs ! Even if you don't react to them on video, they're amazing and have beautiful animation work!
I’m so glad that you aren’t just trying to sugar coat it and are completely honest and you give actual reviews and feedback as an animator!
Its a shame this video wasnt done a bit later. I wouldve loved to see a reaction to Fu Hua's newest battlesuit ultimate
Now you HAVE TO make a tier list of all HI3 animated shorts 🔥🔥🔥
Would love to see your takes on Punishing Gray Ravens' animations. Especially for Crimson Abyss and Crimson Weave Lucia (aka Alpha)
OMG I WAS WAITING VERRYYYY MUCHHHH for that reaction thank youuu ❤❤
Love your ult rankings dude.
Also one thing to note for the bits that aren't part of the actual cinematic, you can control the camera angle for those bits so that is also something to consider.
You should do Punishing Gray Raven too. (both CN and global)
I want to know your advice on this one.
Considering some of these characters are from 2017 and so is the engine the animations are so so amazing. The animated shorts in particular
Yay! After he rated HSR and Genshin Impact, I was so excited for Hi3 because their animations are so good! :)
It'd be cool to see you react to the ultimates from Guilty Gear Strive or Punishing Gray Raven. Good video!
Also, the reason why Vill-V's drop fast is that if the hat takes to long to drop, people will not pull for her because she eats away too much buffs duration. lol
Hes judging based on animation alone so lets leave it at that lol
@@emeraly2721 i know
They can pause the time or slow it down, and they do that very often.
vill-v has no stage time pause on ult? I don't have vill-v and too lazy to read skills
@@FebryanShino Only the explosion one has, the starting animation does't have the stage time pause.
After recently (2 hours ago) stumbling across these videos and watching the entirety of rwby last month, i have to say i love the content, keep it up!
Would love to see one of these types of videos for the ultimates in tales of arise and/or the limit breaks in the final fantasy 7 remake(s)
You know you should also make a rank and rate up of who is your best favorite character from Punishing Gray Raven
Watching him slowly lose his mind as he realizes the existence of the Bronyaverse is something else(it happens every time,but it's always fun to see)
Begging for punishing gray raven ults next
It has been a great experience hearing your inputs, almost all of which I couldn’t see for myself on my own. I wish someone from HI3 sees this and hires you as a consultant or something.
Would be awesome if your do a tier list for Aether Gazer ultimates combo, and Punishing Gray Raven ultimates aswelll. Those are two great games with amazing animations
been around since your overwatch days ands shocking how much youve learnt and done since those days
Great series! I really like your explanations.
Please consider Punishing Gray Raven.
In herrscher of thunder, the slash part, if you look closely, that downward "slash" is actually a bolt of lighting
I don't know if you want to, but HI3 has animation traillers. Do you think you want to react to it?
Trailers or the animated shorts? Because those ingame shorts/cutscenes have been incredible since the beginning!
@@xendordawnburst9969The Animated Shorts actually. I like the Everlasting Flame and Graduation Trip animations, though I think Goo prefers combat animations and there are some that doesn't have that
@@Ace459_2 Those are both great! Though I think my personal favorite has to be Shattered Samsara!
11:25 It's not a cinematic, it's a free cam. Player can move the camera, so you can't blame in-frame positioning.
Here's a reaction recommendation - Punishing:Gray Raven, I recommend watching both global and CN ultimates!
"What flips your switch??"
Prof. Goo : "Impact Frames...."
2:09 Should... Should I play HI3???
NOTE: the fu hua pheonix animation is the pheonix hits the ground and turns into fu hua so basically in that scene fu hua was the pheonix.... 😂
Also recommend checking Aether Gazer ultimates! some of them look nice
Aether gazer not even come out yet
Request for Goo to rank PGR's ultimate animations. That'd be a banger I swear
The camera in HI3 is kinda different from Genshin, so there would be a lot of problems regarding the camera.
I was waiting for this!!! ❤✨
6:12 The ragdoll jump over HoS ult 😂😂😂
Damn, those are some good critiques that wouldn't have crossed my mind as a non-animator
Should check out the animations for the Punishing Gray Raven characters next
I loved this video! I think you should try watching some scenes from Trigun Stampede! You'd really love it, the animation feels so fluid and the characters feel lively. I'd love to see your reaction to it.
