MECHA - YOUTUBE

MECHA - the love letter to our youth. Watching anime classics as kids left a mark that stayed with us to this day. So we felt it's due to time to celebrate our love to mecha and pay proper homage with this piece we did for Youtube.

Both me and Ash had absolute blast making this piece happen. It required blood sweat and tears and breaking many walls to make sure all pieces fall into their place.

We would like to thank the team at Youtube for trusting us with this project and specifically Jason Sao Bento for bringing the project to us and trusting us to do it right.

Be sure to keep an eye out for this feature on Youtube to celebrate the YouTube countdown for premier features.

Don't forget to visit both mine and Ash's website for exclusive behind scenes, screenshots and more information about the project.

Much love.

Can't believe they baited us so hard with this countdown

[andrewowens]

This is like porn for mecha fans. Every moving piece of metal fitting into place just right is... _so good._ This is what good mecha anime get right. The technical parts that make you believe these things could really get up and move.

[MatrixMaverick]

I wish there is a full length anime with this exact style.

[ODSTKazimierz]

After I saw this on the AC6 premier I was looking everywhere for this, I've finally found it! Your work is amazing!

[xDCMTx]

Whaaat? This was you?! I used this animation in so many YouTube premiers. This is LEAGUES above everything else in the list. We'll done!

[IanHubert]

Hot damn I can't stop watching this. Absolute masters.

[Jose-ndvo]

This is how 3d mecha can be used modern day in my opinion! Used with care, complementing traditional 80s-90s mecha animation without replacing it, it succeeded it all combining both mediums

[DJdoppIer]

Thought for sure this was straight out of a sci-fi anime that I had somehow overlooked. Absolutely amazing!

Nooo wayyy, I was blown away by this animation when I first saw it in premier, I can’t believe I just got randomly recommended the creator’s channel

[Driahva]

I get such Universal Century Gundam vibes from this. So good.

[archerbascha]

Every time I see this I either hear "Reactor online. Sensors online. Weapons online. All systems nominal."
or "Activating combat mode" at the end.

[aiunit]

damn this is so awesome, i wish there was a release on wallpaper engine because i 100% would want this playing constantly

[weeblbob]

Got Patlabor 2 chills. Watching the inner workings mesh seamlessly together to power a walking tank still blows mind how detailed and well thought out it was.

[herbderbler]

I don't know why it's so satisfying to see rows of identical machines or machine parts all moving in unison, but that's always one of my favorite aspects of mecha porn. This creator clearly understands that 100%.

[LeafLet]

People, you can't do that !!!
Seriously, I felt an incredible sense of hope that soon I will see a real cinematic masterpiece in the genre of science and combat fiction.
You just broke my heart!

[Herdstudio]

Amazing work! Something to be inspired by and learn from!

[MrMuhdizrin]

Just came here after watching the new Armored Core VI gameplay overview video! Great stuff!

[NollieFlipX]

Man thats just fantastic! I remember those 80's and 90's mecha movies, and I always had a blast looking at each and every small mechanical details the artists put into their works. Thank you guys very much for this piece of art! We need more of that in the world!

[aimechanic]

Wow wow WOW 😲
What else in this style? Beautiful mix of Cosmic Operas settings and Individualism. ❤

[aureldocks]

The fact that 90% here cannot even tell it's 3D show just how good this is at emulating the old 90s sci-fi look
