I figured there should be a thread like this.

Many people have been posting things about entire cartoon or anime series, but what of short clips? What about animation for the sake of animation, and not necessarily a discussion of a fully developed TV series?

I know there are a lot of really noteworthy independent animations out there, and for anyone willing to share, this thread is to bring them to light. Could be anything - from OVAs to 3 minute clips of short plot.

Make sure to include a link to it, so people can watch it as well.

Yes, I made this for a reason.

I somehow ended up in the part of youtube where I start finding short, indie animations of the kung fu variety. I have two to share.

First one: Kung Fu Girls Cooking
A really silly ~8 minute chinese short about a guy who gets hungry, and ends up sparking a rivalry between two street vendors. No, I didn't just watch this because they're hot, hear me out.
The animation style was really interesting, to me. While it was somewhat unclean and inconsistent at parts, beyond the purposefully derpy moments, the action-y scenes were really fluidly done, in a stylistic way. I was impressed.

Second one: Even if you Become the Enemy of the World
Can't say this one really has a full, resolved plot. But there's enough in there to get a general feel for what almost seems like a teaser for a full series. Somewhat more serious than the first one I linked, and one that eventually develops into a montage of fight sequences throughout the mock "series", I thought the colorful style and fluid animation was really eye-catching. Not to mention, the song that plays in the latter half was really catchy.
To reiterate though, while it looks like a 10 minute trailer for a full series, this is really all there is for it. I guess the creator just had fun fleshing it out in a compact manner, leaving the viewer to decide its inherent plot.

^ my fault. The second one's full title is "Kung Fu Love: Even if you Become the Enemy of the World"

>>2 Whoa, those are really really awesome. Talk about great animation style. Especially the second one, it looks brilliant. I kind of want it in HD so I can gawk at it properly.

I'm sure I've seen a few animation shorts on youtube at some point too. I just have to figure out how to find them again.

Bump.

>>2 I actually liked both of these, especially the art styles. The music for the second animation was nice as well.

The ending was confusing though, so I guess it's left that way for open interpretation.

Hmm, there was a sad animation called Kiwi.

There's a version with Mad World by Gary Jules are BGM as well, but I think the original is the best.

this thread is so dead :c

umm, i really love those disney/pixar animated shorts.
like: paperman and la luna.

anyways, they're both ridiculously cute, and if i try to describe them, i feel as though i won't be doing them justice

unfortunately, i can't find a trailer for paperman or a full upload for la luna, but if you ever get a chance, you should definitely check them out ^^

paperman is featured with wreck-it-ralph so you can watch it with wreck-it-ralph
and la luna was released with brave so idk if it's possible to watch it again :/

I found a short animation which is really good.

The song is called World Spins Madly On by The Weepies
