THANK YOU FOR ALL THE SUPPORT SO FAR EVERYONE!! Also wanted to plug merch here! https://kianamaiart.store/
I'm sure y'all know that merch is super important for any indie project. It helps me reinvest in the project and scale it up as we go! The money from merch drop will be going towards a fully animated opening theme song and potentially episode 4 if it does well!! Anything helps~ Even if you can't buy (which is super understandable) just sharing alone helps so much! This is also a limited campaign, so get it before it's gone on the 27th!
i ship aika x eclipese
AWWW I LOVE THIS
5:50 “Shove it moon man” his face killed me!😂😂😂😂😂😂
Please don't stop, I need this 🙏
7:38 Jurgen Lightner'd his ass goddamn (please tell me people will get this reference)
Her voice reminds me of another character, and i love it, also i loved the vid and Hoshi reminds me of me so much
THE TEACHER IS SO COOL
OHHH BABYYYY
Akira reminds me so much of Luz from you I love it already
Has anyone pointed out that the negative space created by the loops in Zira’s hair are star shaped too?
This is is amazing!!!!!! I love this and cant wait for a full season heck if there was dvd id buy right now
This is HIGHKEY AWESOME
8:51 no it isn't I actually would love the ability to do the poof on clothes
This Is a Great First Episode of a Great Potential Series that can Subvert Magical Girl Tropes while Adding some nuance to it. I am of huge fan of the Animation and the Anime Influences in it. This is Actually Funny and Cute, I do hope I could see more of it and See your Characters grow throughout the series. This is Awesome!🤩
I don't normally watch western animation but I saw some ppl complaining abt this being a "mockery" of magical girl series, and I got curious. People are so dumb. This is SO OBVIOUSLY A LOVE LETTER TO THE GENRE! Keep up the great work. We'll all be watching!
7:32 I'm surprised she didn't pull an AK -47
😂😂😂 lo amé. Me encantó. Espero el siguiente episodio ❤
5:50 bro I can’t 😭✌️💔
i love the song of the outro so much
is him saying "moon guardian, guardian of the moon" a fucking vine reference i can't breathe
I really like how this is like madoka magica and that the magical girl is black, I already love this series 😀
