Having Hornet and Hollow Knight being real siblings and having that reflect on Ghost was really well done. So her crying at Ghost's death actually brought a tear to my eye. And having Ghost's impact felt afterwards with all the characters working together to make a final monument for it was really wholesome. Just incredibly well done.
YOU CANT JUST SHOW UP OUTTA NOWHERE, DROP THE MOST GAME ACCURATE ANIMATION FOR HOLLOW KNIGHT IVE EVER SEEN THEN JUST VANISH!! I'mma be keeping a VERY close eye here. Seriously though this is breathtaking. I KNOW game assets were used in some of these scenes, but sometimes its really hard to tell what was recreated and what was likely actual edited gameplay and thats BRILLIANT
I like how the video starting with a shot of Ghost implies that the song is from Ghost's POV but then slowly shifts to Hornet's POV because Ghost is the skeleton of the hollow knight.
These all look like cutscenes straight from the game, and it even helps that you supplemented the animations with actual cutscenes sometimes (from what I can tell lol). Fantastically done! I am a huge sucker for the hand drawn artstyle of hollow knight, and to see it replicated so perfectly for this animation makes me okay with waiting just a little longer for silksong.
Brokkulli I'm SO honored you would use my cover for this absolutely BEAUTIFUL project!!! Every time I see this I'm just floored by how much effort was put into the visuals. I can't BELIEVE it's my voice paired with all this work. Like this is easily one of the most impressive visuals I've ever had paired with any of my music production. I'm gobsmacked!! AMAZING AMAZING AMAZINGGG you made my year!! 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Hi AK, out of topic but, fellow object show fan here, im amazed with all of your work and contributions so the OSC, I have always been a big fan of yours I still am flabbergasted by “hey two” when I hear it, I really doubt you will see this tho, but its worth the try tho :)
Antony, I have to thank YOU for your beautiful rendition of the Skeleton Song!!! The way your voice and music switches between emotions (first silly, then serious, then sad, then cheerful) in a single song is perfect for storytelling! Kudos! 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
@@Brokkulli Animations like this really makes me wish that there was a show adaptation of Hollow Knight where Ghost is accompanied by Hornet, Cornifer, Quirll and maybe a fe others would be the main cast.
Whoa. I am beyond impressed. The only question on my mind is "HOW". I have no idea how you managed to recreate the game's animation so faithfully, but I would honestly suspect you of being one of the developers if it wasn't so unlikely. That is to say, incredible work! I love it to bits!
BROTHER u can't just toy with us emotions like this, I teared up when hornet grief the knight in the temple and that ending is breath and hearthbreaking
I don't think I've every seen a fan animation of anything so faithfully recreate the original work's art style before. I hope this blows up because you deserve more recognition for this.
This has officially become my favorite movie. The focus on the relationship between THK and Hornet is absolutely perfect. The story is incredible, the animation is exceptionally smooth, and it perfectly captures the Hollow Knight aesthetic, in my opinion
Goodness gracious I was not expecting this to make me choke up. this is incredible. The first transition from the Statue of Hollow in city of tears to him being a vessel and Hornet young was INCREDIBLE. And, the addition of Hornet making a dedication to both Hollow and Ghost? RIGHT in the feels. It's like an end of an era, and she made herself at peace with the fact the kingdom could at last rest- and she could be on her way to start a new adventure... wow I think this is genuinely one of the greatest hollowknight animations out there. Stellar work. ⭐
This video made me start the year 100 times better! Remembering the entire journey in Hollow Knight is incredible. And it got even better watching this animation, THANK YOU!
LOVE the fact that The Knight beats Sentinel Hornet with the Descending Dark at 1:54, that was exactly how i beat her, pogo jumping 3 spike balls in a row and then smash her head on the floor, hands down one of the most epic video game fights that i had, and its good to see that more people beaten her that way. 😮
Of course RUclips recommends me this after 3 days and Im late to this amazing masterpiece. The animation is so smooth and I love you made the aftermath of the "Dreams No More" ending, where The Knight finally can get a proper rest with the Hollow Knight and it made me emotional ❤
Hollow Knight was game changing and life changing. This animation was Hollow Knight changing with that beautiful ending. Truly a fantastic animation you’ve made here.
Doesn't really make sense that hornet would shed tears for the knight... but the moment where Hollow Knight and Hornet locked eyes in the arena was really profound! ❤
@vino7985 in your headcanon maybe. She sees you more like a tool than a sibling. She knows you are a void sibling without will or thought. If you dreamnail her she never shows emotion towards you, she just wonders if you could actually fix hallownest for her. But even then, hornet is not sentimental at all, so crying over loss does not fit her persona.
.... This is PERFECT.... Such a seamless blend of the true in game style... even things like the timing of the attack animations and movement just feel right....
Just... Amazing animation, I almost cried at the ending :_) Me, who barely animated a GIF for a whole day, understands how much work you did! Great work! And so much emotions without any words Just... Amazing work
This is such a beautiful animation. The story of hollow knight always is one of my favorite video game stories, and it always felt sad whenever id do true ending that it ended so sadly. But this was so bittersweet, how hornet got everyone to work together to improve the hollow knight memorial to include little ghost. Beautiful. Made me cry.
I. AM. LEFT WITHOUT WORDS. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE AMOUNT OF EFFORT AND WORK. And it is SO worth it all... It is incredible... I will just accept it as the whole official video in my mind
Incredible! I love the little details, like the knight’s nail going through the upgrades up to the coiled nail by the end. And the way the teardrops trickled down the knight’s mask, pooling together and dripping in different ways.
That ending… wow you did incredible work here. You matched Ari’s style nearly perfectly! I actually love how you included some original cutscenes in the mix because it makes it that more impressive when it cuts to your own parts. Keep creating! ❤️
You did not just made me cry over my favourite game...again. You told the story that was lost in between, the story that slipped through the cracks that was not able to be told by the tablets and memories of those who still had their wits. When Hornet picket up Ghost's shell, the tears just fell. The perfect ending having Ghost's statue being built in the City of tears, that's canon for me now. Let's manifest Silksong in 2025!
Beautiful, just beautiful. I love how faithful your artstyle is to that of the original game's and how you expanded upon the original animatic's ending to include Hornet rebuilding the Knight and Pure Vessel's shells... now you made the scene even more sad I'M BAWLINGGGG
I love it how it looks like we're seeing clips from the actual game world all of the time! Some of the animations being identical to in-game moments and then evolving in a fluid way makes everything look so believable and pleasant.
This is also the first video I watched in 2025. Felt just as moving as the first time. Thank you for creating an incredible piece of art based on an incredible piece of art.
The ending was heart wrenchingly beautiful that last stare with Hornet and The Hollow Knight before she gets the knight to fight the source who ultimately sacrifices himself but damn it man I was like "don't cry Hornet :(" This is why we are waiting for her next adventure so we can continue the story, beautiful animation!
This is amazing. The ending is so fitting. It was so wholesome that it brought a tear to my eye. It makes me happy to see that there are people who make HK animation or gameplay while waiting for silksong
I'm actually crying because that is the ending that I NEEDED. What an amazing animation, beautifully done and perfectly portrays Hornet in every way. Plus the flashbacks to the Hollow Knight and young Hornet 😭😭😭😭 Amazing.
I started tearing up towards the end,the animation is so well done and full of passion,you did an AMAZING job. Glad to see that this masterpiece of a game still gets the love it deserves
Man I just wanted a random hk animation not some Masterpiece that would bring me to tears. Everything is well done here, even the song fits very good. The ending is wholesome and it kinda matches what I thought happened after the ending. Keep the great work like this pal. Happy new year btw
A work of art. Touching and perfect in rhythm and tone. Not to mention the art, a delightful mix of original and homage. The way you chose to tell the ending was beautiful, dignified and brought so many tears to your eyes for being honest. A fan work for a revolutionary work. It's impossible not to be affected by your work, at least if you know the context. Thank you.
HOLY SHIT, this is probably one of THE BEST Hollow Knight Animations I've seen in a while, it literally matches the game's artstyle so perfectly, you just earned a sub my man.
Amazing. A masterpiece. An animation so faithful to the original game's artstyle that Team Cherry might as well hire you to help make art for silksong (if that is needed any more, hopefully not, cuz that would mean a closer release heheh -w-). Very very well done! Time well spent, I would say ^w^. Also, happy new year!
The ending is so sweet. I never thought more on Hornets relationship with the Hollow Knight, and how she sees them in this new Ghost of Hallownest. The animation is so clean! Great Job! Lines up well with the music too ❤
The knight slashing Herrah 2:09 Hollow And hornet staring at each other 2:50, Hornet place the vessel together and crying 3:40 isleda and cornifer helps hornet 3:57 and ending hornet placing flower for the knight ( happy and sad ending ) 4:30
The ending was so well done. No dialogue, the body language was perfect, and the emotion it had hit me like a bus.
agreed a thousand times over
actually had me tear up.. the fact she also grabbed the Hollow Knights shell too
Here from mossbag, stayed for the amazing animation
Same

Something people forget that the Knight isn’t just a void spirit, but is a void spirit of a dead child.
The ending, the art style, the music, the characters; it’s all astonishing in this animation.
Finally folks Hollow Knight: Silksong is confirmed to be released on the 25th of Feb 2025

Bro, you can’t give no warning for that ending. I started tearing up. Amazing job on the animation and props to Antony for the music.
It's incredible how this game just came out of nowhere and was immediately regarded as one of the best of its kind :)
You gave us something no one else has. A proper ending
I love love love how Hornet completed all of the things that Ghost missed during the run
You may not have the emotions to care Little Ghost, but you defeated a dream-parasite that zombified an entire city. You HAVE earned a statue.
The cover for skeleton song through me for a loop at first, but the more lowkey tempo to it fits Hollow Knight so much more than the original would
Of course RUclips recommends me this after 3 days and Im late to this amazing masterpiece. The animation is so smooth and I love you made the aftermath of the "Dreams No More" ending, where The Knight finally can get a proper rest with the Hollow Knight and it made me emotional ❤
You are by no means late! Thanks for watching and the kind words ☺
Absolutely beautiful, love how some scenes were taken from in-game but also animated to be different.
Hollow Knight was game changing and life changing. This animation was Hollow Knight changing with that beautiful ending. Truly a fantastic animation you’ve made here.
I AM CRYING THIS IS THE MOST PERFECT HOLLOW KNIGHT ANIMATION EVER IT COULD BE OFFICIAL!!! Please let this blow up
the guy released a masterpiece and went to sleep
Doesn't really make sense that hornet would shed tears for the knight... but the moment where Hollow Knight and Hornet locked eyes in the arena was really profound! ❤

I find it criminal that no one talks about the 3D animation at 1:01. Man, that jump is SO SMOOTH, I love it.
Oh my god this is so heartbreakingly good. Beyond words. I will revisit this and leave a longer comment later but wow. This is amazing.
Jesus Christ that ending took me off guard. Beautiful work
I. AM. LEFT WITHOUT WORDS. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE AMOUNT OF EFFORT AND WORK. And it is SO worth it all... It is incredible... I will just accept it as the whole official video in my mind

Incredible! I love the little details, like the knight’s nail going through the upgrades up to the coiled nail by the end. And the way the teardrops trickled down the knight’s mask, pooling together and dripping in different ways.
You noticed the nail upgrades! :-D By the time I finished the main game I didn´t have the Pure Nail yet. So I didn´t include it.
That ending… wow you did incredible work here. You matched Ari’s style nearly perfectly! I actually love how you included some original cutscenes in the mix because it makes it that more impressive when it cuts to your own parts.

I'm sorry, but why is it so underrated? I think it's the best Hollow Knight animation I've ever seen!

Beautiful, just beautiful. I love how faithful your artstyle is to that of the original game's and how you expanded upon the original animatic's ending to include Hornet rebuilding the Knight and Pure Vessel's shells... now you made the scene even more sad I'M BAWLINGGGG
What the heck, this is incredible. I’m honestly speechless. I might come back later and edit with my detailed thoughts, ough
the way this blends so seamlessly with the game footage is astounding
This feels like something that would actually happen, after everything Hornet gets a statue built
THIS IS GORGEOUS. It shows what might happen after the final cutscene. This is beautiful.
Beautiful, almost make me drop a tear at the end :)
