BUT THEN THE END

the animation is amazing, I suggest watching the entire series if you haven't before.
They're perfectly PG. Each episode is under 4 minutes and there are only 5

Apparently it's meant to be about Korean + Japanese relationships, I read there's a lot of people who don't approve of mixing blood :c

Ohhhh really! Aw! Wow that's really interesting
I like that this concept can apply to all kinds of forbidden love. I hope it gets people thinking!

Yeah totally. I love anything that allows you to make your own personal connections and etc. It's why I was so keen to see the ending. I was F5ing SamBakZa's page all of today. *LAME*

Seen it all before but it's done so beautifully and simply. I think it could relate to a lot of groups.

As much as I'm not a guy who generally goes "OMG, THIS IS SO CUTE", that's almost exactly the response that this caused.

Part 3 struck a special chord with me. It was just so.... Human, perhaps because i can relate to the whole "i have a friend, who i want to be more than a friend, yet she doesn't want that back." mentality that the rabbit has. However, much like this story, that worked out with a happy ending, and i was so glad to see that this had a happy ending as well.

I was also really impressed that even with such simple character designs, and no dialogue, we're really given quite deep insight into so many of the characters, not just Doki and Nabi. Sure, we can see right into them, but we can also see motives and hopes for so many of the other characters. One who stands out for me is the non-eyepatch, non-mask rabbit gang member. I think that was one of the most powerful scenes in the entire thing is in Episode 4 where said rabbit is beating up Nabi for being a dick. This changes the character from an antagonist to an anti-hero right here, sticking up for not only the rights, but also the feelings of others.

Overall, I loved it. As much as it was just plain and simple, it also had an incredible power to it. Thanks for sharing Emmy!

I agree with all of this! It was really simple and there was no dialogue, but it packed a big punch and a big statement and it had oodles of character development!
It's refreshing to me to see an internet animated series attempt so much in one go, but I think it turned out great! I hope we'll see more series like this from SamBakZa :)

Ohhh man, yeah. I LOVED the first one, the second one was just as cute, but it was surprising how it took such a dark turn! Now don't get me wrong, I do think it is wonderful, the message. :) It was just so surprising!

But it'll always be so cute and wonderful!

Holy crap, I did not see that coming. I saw the first two like years ago and hadn't realized they'd done a continuation. Thanks for the link! So unexpected, interspecies coupling and all that. Free love man! Now I'm off to see the last one. Thanks again!

my boyfriend (who is Chinese, immigrated here when he was 10) and myself, English-Canadian have been following this series since it came out years ago... it has always hit really close to home with us! what a great ending :D

(I feel like a total lurk and I apologize, I check out your art from time to time but don't usually comment... my bad!)

Did you catch the easter eggs?
There's a hidden comic in the 2nd animation when you click on the moon and an alternate beginning for the 3rd animation.

I love the angsty sad depressing one. Its a sad song but for some reason very catchy and I just like how the entire video has a completely different emotion than the rest of them.

I've actually seen the first one years ago but I didnt know there were more either.

Ohmygofiodhsofjksjskj.

DD: Only twice in my life have I come this close to crying because of a video, and for the life of me I forget what the first one was.

That was possibly the single most amazing/adorable/depressing/uplifting thing ever.

And the music's awesome too.

Absolutely beautiful.

I didn't even know that step 3 was out until I saw this post. Shows how out of touch I am...

step 3 was incredibly cute. step 4 just totally rocked my world, and the Final step was full of awesome. (The climactic embrace in the airport got me a little verklempt. :)
