Can you tell I like making music? XD Hey guys, hope you're all doing well. As you can see from the teaser at the end, the next short is going to be...very, VERY juicy. I'm gonna start working on it right away, half the script is already done. After that, it will be time for Elden Ring... I'm excited, but also...scared. I know it's going to be a huge undertaking. So my hope...is to FINALLY have the help of my assistant. But I need your help too. I dread the idea of torturing myself with an immense amount of work and also make you wait for it a lot. That's why these shorts have been such a breath of fresh air. Thus, if you want to help me get to the next level, please do consider joining my other supporters on Patreon. A single dollar could really change my career, I mean that. No pressure though, only if you have the possibility.

Was not expecting a "The Mask" movie reference, a welcome surprise for sure

The skeleton at the end crying in japanese was just perfect

I'm so surprised so many of you guys got the "The Mask" reference, that's freaking awesome!!! :D I feel less old now. XD

This mask reference was brilliant Keep doing those amazing animations ^^

mate i love seeing how much more comfortable and fluid your animation grew. you got mad skillz and i cannot admire your progress enough!

Oh man, that Mask/Giant Dad moment had me rolling like a skelleton wheel.

your creativity is whole another level. another masterpiece as always man

My job here is done. "I am free. Now I can get back to work... Keh heh heh heh..."

Out of all the little details...The one infinitely spinning bone in the graveyard is my personal favorite. The legends still say that the first bone spun in the first playthrough of Dark Souls is still going to this day. It outlasted even the First Flame and likely powers both the worlds of Bloodborne and Elden Ring. Right after that comes Crocomire because even the most momentary references to Metroid make me smile. Guess we know what Samus was up to after blasting Sister Friede into a puddle for you...

God I really loved that section: "What's it look like we're doing. Gravelording" had me in tears with a big smile on my face.🤣

I like this one very much. Definietly one of your best works. Loved the gravelording. Well done Shez!

2:50 Love how you added the skull from Grand Cathedral in that section. Fear the old blood.

It’s finally here. Another banger from Shez himself.

First time i've seen our protagonist actually have epic moments. Usually he gets kicked around a lot, often falling on his face. But here, he actually fights back and stands up for himself- i'm so proud of him. I don't even need to express the 10 / 10 animation and comedy, that's a given. I just love the character progression overall.

That Matrix joke, unexpected yet so good. Seriously thought, you've come such a long way, it's not just a retelling of the games events and easter egg hunt, you added so much more personality, the comedy gets better and better, the quality, (the waiting time hehe) , and it's all so worth it. You're awesome

6:14 the hornet mask being there where the old dead ones and forgotten ones are is quite fitting taking in count the current state of Silksong lmao

Rip Badass Shez 0:48-1:56 Also I love that Matrix reference Edit: THE MASK REFERENCE GIVES ME LIFE!

I DON'T HAVE WORDS, YOU ARE INCREDIBLE. YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. THANKS FOR THIS SHORTS.

Dude your animation has gotten so much better over the years, and it was already incredible to begin with!

Muchachos... 5:47 that voice killed me jajajajajaja

This is beautiful work, I finished Ds1 one month ago and I feel fulfilled.

I can't even imagine how much effort you've put into the videos you make

The Gravelording part made me laugh so much, cant get enough of this, good job Shez

Haha I love it dude

5:15 Here comes, THE DAD!! Amazing work as always Shez, couldn't stop laughing from start to finish XD

5:25 ahaha Giant Dad

That rondo of blood sequence was lit bro

I really feel the part when he says imagine being such a bad ass where you know all the shortcuts

I like how comunity from very hard and sad game about curse turn to this 5:39

you know alot of animation channels from my teenage years have stopped making animations im just glad you're still making animations man, i hope one day you're videos are noticed even more

these are such a delight, i always love constantly searching for easter eggs

In an age when KZfaq has long ago killed off animation channels, its endlessly impressive to see you not only still going strong, but to see you improve with every video. Keep up the great work, man. And a fine Dark Soul to you.

Shez killing it so hard; a "short" is still 7 minutes of gold

One of the best animations, all are great. and with a lot of references, I started playing Dark Souls 4 weeks ago and it reminds me of every step I took. Thank you, just, thank you.

That music scene in the mask is amazing and deserves a full recreation. It's good to see you paying tribute. Chick-chicky-boom.

Thank you so much for having me on, Matt! I've admired your work for a long time and so it was an honor to work with you ❤️. Looking forward to your future projects.

This is incredible. Probably your funniest since Sekirot. Can't wait to see more! I love all the work you do!

3:44 The greatest Papyrus xd

Your animation has improved so much and it was already great to begin with. I have to re-watch it several times to get all the references XD

Jesus, that was incredible. Can't wait to see some Elden Ring episodes soon. Thank you for all your hard work, it's really something fantastic.

Can we all agree that this man deserve all good in the worlf for his hardwork? Seriously, those animations are perfect

1:00 that gravestone =D

I love seeing the animations, always looking for what's hidden in the background and love the art style!

That Mask reference was amazing

Man, I was having a trash week, but this notification just made it all worth it, thanks for being awesome man, and as always beautiful work

Dude, dude, DUUUUUUDE you have to do a whole series pls. DS1 is my fav of all time

Bro you always make my day, love your videos soooooo much

I was having a bad day, you turned it around with this. Thank you.

1:18 ''castlevania rondo of blood'' reference, neat!

Shez before I thought you’re videos and art style was good but now it’s amazing, love your vids

Man I would pay for a full series of this show...start at DS for season 1 and work all the way to Elden Ring...6-8episodes per season about 20-30min each. It would be amazing and hilarious done in your style... couldn't be anything but a smash hit! Keep up the good work and thank you!

Wow the other episodes were amazing but the animation of this one is on another level. Great job 10/10

Ooh yes! Another Dork Souls parody from Shez, PRAISE THE SUN!

Dude your uploads are the best *chef’s kiss I can tell you really love what you do.

Oh, that Mask reference. Simply beautiful, Shez!

You never disappoint us, thank you for all your efforts and all your animations shez. If you manage to animate your playthrough of elden ring i can already tell its going to be a masterpiece by no doubts

The "Taxi" on the grave to Nito was a great little side note in it all and the freaking temple run idol

Your animations are always such a fun time. Hope we get to see more of these, and maybe another HUGE animation for elden ring !

Thanks for making great stuff!

This is so detailed, so good. I really like your work with shadows here. And as always - many easter eggs, references and memes.

God, so many goofy Shezmen shapes. I fucking love it.

I love it when ur videos come out.

I'm thankful for everything you and your team put out, pure comedy gold, stay healthy and safe

Another masterpiece?!

I’m so excited to see what you do with Elden Ring, I love your work!

I love those animations and the work you must do for us Keep it up

Gotta shout out the parallax inside the boss chamber with the hand-drawn center column. Excellent work.

Your art never ceases to amaze and entertain me. You had me in tears of laughter, was almost expecting a push of a simple red button on the Grant for the miracle.

"What the hell are you guys doing down here?" "what are we doing he asks!" Watching Shez's new masterpiece.

These videos just get better and better shez great work bro

Man this channel is a hidden gem on KZfaq thank you for all the work

Always the best animation with the best joke on my favorite game

0:47 that’s a meme format right there lol

Pog, I've been watching these since your vids since the first Dork souls came out. My favorite series :D

Another awesome work. Thank you. Also enjoyed the Sam fisher scene

@4:07 Is that the hunters dream on the Pillar?

Nito closing his coffin after his minions died is golden lmao

always so fucking amazing and unique, love your content man

I stumbled upon this randomly and the animation quality is so good!!

The best Dark Souls/Demon Souls parody and animation there is. Seeing you at first and today, how you have grow and now you are a legend :) Great work/video

Sia lodato il sole! Un'altra animazione di qualità ~

Amazing work man!!! Been following since the first noob episode! Never stop, this content is what i live for!

The Mask reference just ascended this video into godhood. And as you know divinity works well against undead

You really outdid yourself Shez! The Nito part killed me 💀💀😂

2:13 FINALLY, SOMEONE NOTICE THE SPANISH JOKES ABOUT THIS

I love all the little Easter eggs and references 💙💙

I feel like this is your best video yet. Love it 💙

The Tony Hawk sound caused me to spit out my drink. This is always great!

1:32 PATCHES!! NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Long has been the days I expected Dark Soul animations. This was awesome!

Brooo better and better in doing animation I see, well done and keep it up

As per usual, outstanding work my friend! I thoroughly enjoy all of your animations. The little Easter eggs and references are always a blast to look for. Loved Pinwheel's Cannibal Corpse shirt, he may be a crap boss but he has great taste in music. Cheers man, I hope you and all of your people are doing well. 🤘 Much appreciated

This is getting out of hand... This man... He's literally the animation god and the allfather of Dork Souls memeland!

Great to see more of you man.

Seriously man you made my day! Had shitty end of the day for my birthday and your video cheered me up. :)

3:16 "Lords of the Graves" from the famous rock band Guardian Apes

Haha so awesome. The reference mask and the giant dad cracked me. I love all these animations. Maybe someday we'll see bloodborne!? Congrats to all the team

That was beautiful👌🏼 really stepping your game up with the animation too!

The animation is amazing! Keep up the good work!
