I love how Jim's expressions went from wonder and excitement to anger and tiredness. You can tell that he's tired and is starting to give up hope, and all he wants to do is save his friends and family.

This wasn't a meme This was a journey

Raise your hand if your still hoping for more tales of Arcadia shows

What I love about this animatic is how it captures the trauma Jim has experienced throughout the show. From nearly loosing his mother when Strickler got stabbed (Long story short the pain he goes through she goes through too) to his friends dying or nearly dieing. Heck, he faces death so many times. The animation perfectly shows it too. The tragic thing is that Jim no longer sees him as himself but as the trollhunter instead, which is shown in Wizards when he was on the bridge in the shadow realm, speaking about protecting the trolls from vile creatures. The very thing that made him decide to become a troll was to become stronger and more agile and to be able to protect the world from Mogana and the evil trolls. It’s pretty sad if you think about all of the suffering he went through because his mom said it best in the show. He should be worrying about girls and grades rather than fighting monsters in a secret society. So seeing the animation catch the fear and depth to these characters is absolutely incredible.

yess trollhunters is such an underrated series!!

"For the Glory of Merlin, Daylight is mine to command!" "For the *Doom of Gunmar* , Eclispe is mine to command!" *_"For the Redemption of Arthur, Excalibur is mine to command!"_*

oh my god this is incredible!!! the black and white sequence at the end took my breath away 😳😳😳

I never realized how learning all of this deceit, experiencing all this trauma, and committing so many mistakes lead him to becoming troll jim, I mean I wasnt a huge fan of the choice when I first saw it but rewatching the series and how it transitioned from happy go lucky adventures to a much more gritty tone made me feel that it was a much better fit than I first expected, and the whole part trill and part human, as Merlin implies, link that would unite the two worlds actually works better than if he stayed a human Trollhunter (thematically speaking) because, even if was for them, he was never one of them, he becoming part troll fills that void that ultimately truly United humans and trolls, but I feel that the whole strength and speed boost was a bit of a flimsy explanation as to why he needed to become part troll

*shaking and crying* I can’t this is... this is pure art right here I-

Me watching this after just finishing Rise of the Titans: "Excuse me, but can we just take a moment to realize that Jim has gone through more shit in a couple of years than some of us do our entire lives? Like, what?" (I know he's a fictional character but still- He's definitely been through the wringer more than once)

"For the Glory of Merlin Daylight is mine to command" "Destiny is a gift, never forget that fear is but the precursor to valor, than to strive and triumph in the face of fear is what it means to be a hero. Don't think... Become." "In darkest tide when Daylight darest wane, The myrriden wylt obscured a shadow's bane, three forces elemental thou must seek, in marshlands, caverns deep and mountains peek, where worthy perish, yeel prevail in night and eclipse all who quarry with thy might." "For the doom of Gunmar Eclipse is mine to command!" "In their darkest hour, I BURN BRIGHTEST!" "Destiny is a gift, never forget that fear is but the precursor to valor, than to strive and triumph in the face of fear is what it means to be a hero. Don't think... Become." "For the good of all! Daylight is mine to command!"

In the words of Varvatos Vex, *GLORIOUS!!*

ONE OF MY FAVORITE ANIMATORS EVER JUST POSTED AN ANIMATION MEME OF ONE OF MY FAVORITE TV SHOWS EVER?? *SCREECHES*

Let’s be honest, *You watched this more than once*

I'm so glad that the whole tales of arcadia, especially trollhunters, is finally getting the attention it deserves. Its an absolute masterpiece of storytelling and animation in every way, and at first I felt like I was the only one who watched it, most people thought I was weird for loving a "kids" show. Im so happy that there is more now, welcome to troll market!

Man, when Jim needs to become a troll for save the people he love is the saddest moment of trollhunters

*CLAPS FURIOUSLY AND CRIES EYES OUT* LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, THE ANIMATION GODS HAVE HEARD OUR PRAYERS

1:22 this part right here can literally kill me if Im not prepared enough holy shit is so smooth my heart stops for a moment

I... got this recommended to me and i actually expected a meme.. This is not a meme, This is- a wholeass art piece that i do not regret clicking on at all- I love this show so much and this was a wholeass adventure!! This was amazingly animated- Im shook- You are so talented bless you so much! SOMEONE GIVE THIS MAN A MEDAL

I DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE THAT THIS WAS POSTED TODAY OMFG. ALSO WHO ELSE IS SUPER EXCITED FOR WIZARDS?!?!??!!? also can we talk about how much i LOVE THIS FKJSDDHLKSAJOGFSJLHGFSKLDFD IT- IT'S ABSOLUTELY STUNNING I CAN'T GET OVER IT.

Absolutely recommend everyone here watch trollhunters, 3 below, then Wizards. Absolute amazing trilogy and beautiful CGI. This animation is incredible, especially that scene with Jim swishing his sword, god I love this series so much and you've done an amazing job on this animation meme! Beautiful! :D

1:23 THAT WAS MIND BLOWING HOLY

Jim: FOR THE POWER OF MERL- Blinky: its glory actually... Jim: Oh... Edit: Wow this got so many likes can I plug my channel now XD ANOTHER EDIT: IVE ALMOST WATCHED FOR THE 150TH TIME!

Y'know. If i hadn't watched trollhunters before because I found it strange. Then this animation definitely would of tempted me to watch it, this thing gives me just so much hype.

THIS IS AMAZING!!! just when i thought it couldn’t get any better i saw the end, spectacular!!!

This right here is the video that got me into Trollhunters. I love watching Nightrizer's animation memes, especially the warrior cat ones. I saw this one and thought it was pretty epic, so I gave it a peek. I then shared it to my Warriors friends, who recommended I watched the show. I did that, I joined a server dedicated to it, I started making characters and storylines... and one year later, I am still OBSESSED with this show, thanks to Nightrizer's animation! Thank you Nightrizer, you are incredible

Not even going to lie, I actually cried watching this, even from the very beginning, this show literally hits a soft spot in my heart and... Idk it's just emotional... Only true fans cry for animations like these... 🥺

At the end: Jim: **drowning in the 1000 flavour cool aid** Me: **sniffs** the safest scene was animated

This has more details then Most Disney animations

This absolutely gorgeous animation made me realize through how much Jim has really went through. It's sometimes so easy to forget, because of how naturally optimistic he is and how he hides all this trauma and pain. And even though he was betrayed, hurt and almost killed so many times, he still keeps fighting. This video took me on a spiritual journey and made me a more complete alien being.

I miss troll hunters so much 😥

I’ve watched troll hunters a million times and the scene of Jim becoming a troll still makes me cry somehow...

Oh dear god How this animation quality is even possible ??? Seriously I m each time more impressed by your talent ! The scene in the first half of the meme are so detailed and gorgeous I can’t- And the animation during the second half ?? Can we talk about it like,,, 2 sec The animation when the screen turn in black and white is amazingly dynamic and I love all the expressions so much !

The ending is like... So ominous and chilling?? It perfectly encapsulates the actual end of that episode, just like. The dread building??? Its SO good I cant get over this, plus the black and white animation??????? This is INSANE I am in love

this series, this animated show, this is THE show. THE show. this meme as well it's not just a meme it's everything 😭

OH MY GOODNESS I AM CRYING I HAVE *never* SEEN A TROLLHUNTERS MEME THIS IS JUST... UNBELIEVABLE! EVERY PART OF IT IS INSANE, I love how there’s a variety of styles and the characters are draws SO BEAUTIFULLY! THIS IS REAL TALENT! Jfkfosbejdbsksnskd Edit: *smashes phone after watching this countless times*

*SPOILER WARNING* explanation for people who dont know whats going on:* Black hair guy is called jim. Jim lake jr. So he was biking to school with his best friend toby. (the guy with brown hair, Jim heard his name being called, in a pile of rocks, and found a amulet. He took it home and started playing around with it because he was curious. it had words around it that he couldn’t understand, but out the the blue it changed, the words were in english, it had the words « for the glory of merlin, daylight is mine to command » jim read it outloud then he got armor and a sword of daylight. He was excite, a day later he told his best friend toby about it and they came to his house. He said the words « for the glory of merlin, daylight is mine to command » and he got into his armor, two « trolls » arrived from his back door one big one and one with four arms and 6 eyes. The big one was called Arrrgghh and one called blinky. They talked and the two trolls explained to him about the amulet. The amulet is very old, and it was made by merlin. the amulet was ONLY passed down to trolls and that he was the first human troll hunter. The amulet was made to protect trolls from bad trolls, goblins, changelings, etc. The trolls lived underground in trollmarket. They had many trollhunters before, one of the best, Khankijar (i think that was his name) he was slayed by the troll named bular, son of gunmar the black. Gunmar the black was this horrible troll who cale from the darklands, led his army of « gumgums » long ago to trry and take the surface land. But a trollhunters, she was a girl, named deya the deliverer banashed him to the darklands centries ago, and now him, strikler (the guy who was shown talking to jim, and then strikler turned into a changeling trying to slay the trollhunter because he worked with bular and gunmar the black) No one nows that jim is the trollhunter except the bad trolls, and the good trolls, and his best friend toby. In one scene where theres a girl staring at jim transform into his armor was a girl jim liked, who figured out he was the trollhunter and helped him, since in one battle, she found the shadow staff, who used to be claimed by morgana, the sorceress of shadows, she was banashed by merlin, and somehow she could control claire, (the girl jim liked) because claire mastered the shadow staff, it was a whole thing but morgana helped gunmar the black unleash the internal night. Since trolls cant go in the daylight, or they will turn to stone. Before that, jim and his friends go to merlins (the creator of the amulet) cave find merlin, the merlin wakes up, goes to jims house. and at the end where there was a jar of green thing and then a dark bubble thing, It was a formula to turn jim into a troll, well half troll, then, he goes and defeats the bad trolls and stuff, strikler the changeling, at this point went on the trollhunters side, the parents of claire, toby, and jim, new about this whole thing, so did all the humans in arcadia, the town they live in, and at the end strikler and jim the trollhunters mom get together, jim claire and blinky, left to find a new place for the trolls to live in, (new jersey), and left toby, aarrrgggh, his mom, and his friends, but they all understood. Boom that was the end of the series one, there a whole collection on netflix about another series about after the trollhunter left, they found merlin and his sorcerer student, who weve seen twice in the series flittering with claire (jils girlfriend) the boy was suppose to be a college boy, but since hes a sorcerer, he was centries old. BOOM i left out a lot of details but put the most important ones. sorry bout the grammar mistakes but i waster a good amount of time writting this. please like so others can see. ✨

This is an absolute masterpiece. My jaw was hanging open the entire time. That took me on an emotional journey. Currently on my second rewatch of TOA and omg this has really stirred the passion within me to keep going. You have captured all that is amazing about the show in this animation. The fact that Jim goes from wonder and excitement to more serious and tired...hits me right in the heart.

How am I only seeing this two years later 😭😭 I absolutely love this ong! Trollhunters will forever be in my heart, along with this masterpiece!

Nightrizer: post video Me: TAPS AS FAST AS I CAN

I can’t even comprehend how a human being could make this all by themself. And to say you’re that proud of it? This is incredible and you can’t ever tell me otherwise

No one: Not a single soul: Not even god himself: Arrrg when he meets vervatous: *GLORIOUS!*

my heart: ***CRYING*** AHHH this was so good! you did wonderful!!!

I saw the word "meme" and thought, "okay, so this'll be a funny thing." N O. INSTEAD, I AM MET WITH A FREAKIN M A S T E R P I E C E. Oh God, the animation is spectacular!!! The colors are gorgeous, and the way you tell the story of the seasons so well! Aaaaa!!! And when it goes black and white with Morgana and Gunmar and OOOOOOHOHOHOOO THAT WAS HELLA GOOD. This whole thing is just?? GORGEOUS. STUNNING. SPECTACULAR. BEAUTIFUL. AMAZING. A MASTERPIECE. 😭💕💕💕

Dreamworks called, they want their animator back !! o3o But seriously this takes animation memes to the whole new level goddam this is clean AND SO SO MUCH OF ANIMATION you have all the skills, great direction, animation and art style !!!

I wish there would be a Douxie version, but this is absolutely nuclear Imma make my own version

This is, without question, one of the best animation memes I've ever seen. We don't get enough Trollhunters content as it is, it's great to see how passionate some people are.

I've been so excited for Wizards and seeing this has just made me even MORE excited. It's amazing how much plot you were able to convey in just a two minute video, not to mention how fluid your animation is. The sword swinging and the squishy facial expressions are especially impressive!! Thank you for creating content for this series, this genuinely made my whole day to see someone who appreciates the characters enough to animate them

When you enjoy the meme but don’t even know what’s going on:

I love this video And after watching it several times, I tried to watch it as if I didn't know that Trollhunter was a serie As if, the characters in this video were original characters from the animator And... It gave me this vibe : A boy, discover an amulet, and it give him a magical armour. He shows it to his friend, become friend with magical creatures, and even discover that there is hidden magical creatures (Strickler for example) [0:20 to 0:39] But then, the magical creature that he have to fight become more and more dangerous, he is also betrayed by a close one [0:39 to 0:50] And then, the fight become more and more difficult, more and more dangerous [0:51 to 1:08] He tries to level up his amulet, but then he meet stronger villains, and his closes ones become victims from theses villains, and he understand that he will never be able to win [1:09 to 1:23] He ends up traumatize by this journey, by theses fights, by seeing his friends suffer [1:24 to 1:36] He decides to take some poison, his closes ones try to stop him but it's too late, he already chose his fate. [1:37 to 1:45] He look one last time at his amulet, he remember the time where he thought this amulet was everything he could ever wanted, that this amulet was a bless, but instead it cursed his life. [1:46 to 1:54] He finally kills himself, and rest in the peace that he lost after finding this amulet. Of course, he takes the amulet with him, to be sure that no one will ever have the same fate as him. [1:55 to the end of the video] So... What do you think of it ?

Who still watching this in 2024?

This just reminded me how much I love Trollhunters. The black and white sequence was gorgeous!!Amazing work 😍

OMG I FORGOT ABOUT THIS SHOW. I KNEW THE THING IN THE BEGINNING LOOKED FAMILIAR!! WOW, IVE NEVER SEEN ANYONE DO A TROLLHUNTERS ANIMATION MEME.

OMG Did you just summarise the entirety of Trollhunters in a 2 minute animation!!!! HOW?!?

omg i literally never see trollhunters content this is such a breath of fresh air???!!! amazing work dude!!

This is such an amazing animation, I love it so much! The style is so visually appealing and how it's told with Jim being the main focus really gives his character great depth. This is a masterpiece and Dreamworks (the team making the Arcadia series) should hire you.

2 years ago this made me watch the series ALL OF THEM Thank you♡ thank you for this beautiful art piece!! I will never forget it!

HOLY. CRAP. I’ve loved this show since it came out and there has been like no content for it, this totally filled the void in its self, your animation skills are GODLY I can’t wait to see what you do next!!!

Man, the series was so incredibly well written, everything was explained, no plot holes, everything made sense.

Damn I finished this series on netflix, knowing it ended I really miss it...

This is so good ;o; It’s amazing how you basically put the ENTIRE SHOW into two minutes of beautiful animation. The black and white part? That hit me HARD. Anyway, I’m definitely subscribing:)

Spoiler I’m just glad jim is back to normal.

I was already in love with this but the black and white scene TOOK ME OUT, IT’s TOO AMAZING

This show is way too underrated

Почему под таким шедевром нет даже миллиона просмотров ? Why is there not even a million views under such a masterpiece ?

Fun fact: When you search up animation meme, this video is one of the top videos C o n g r a t s

I thought it couldn't get any better...... Boy was I wrong

I come back to look at this every once in a while. Like, it endures in my memory more than the actual show did. You have an incredible talent for the framing of all of this, especially the black and white section.

My favorite animator and my favorite show, it's a dream come true.

OMG THIS IS JUST- SO GOOD! I haven’t searched up ToA in so long and I’m so glad KZfaq remembered enough to put this in my recs. cause THIS? It’s beautiful! AND I JUST FOUND OUT WIZARDS CAME OUT?! Gosh this is just- I have no words when it went black and white? So smooth and just when he glitches goes troll Jim? Omg I just- keep up the amazing work. This just reminded me of why I like the series so much. You captured it so well.

Words cannot describe how much I love this. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an animation meme better than this.

Jesus- This is by far one of the most impressive animation memes I've ever seen! It's amazing! All the art, all the motion! And yeah, right in time for Wizards!

Just when I thought the world of animation couldn’t get any better

Why is this actually one of the best animation memes I've seen?

Some animations are good... But only a few animations can reach such a level of beauty... This is godly, and such a masterpiece totally deserves a lot more than 536k views....

I am out of words... The best video of this fandom and one of the most impressive fan animations I've seen

OMGOMGOMG!!! This PERFECTLY sums up trollhunters!!! You can actually follow the story and see his struggles, no words needed. You and your art are seriously my inspiration and I want to be as good an animator as you one day! Keep up the AMAZING work!!!😆😆😆😁😁💗

*“For the glory of Merlin, daylight is mine to command”* Ah this show is the best and I keep coming back to this amv and each time I am left speechless. What a talented animator!

OH MY GOOOSSHHH!!! At first I was like "damn, this is beautiful" and then you hit me out of no where that amazing animation and my gosh!!! I can't even!! This is by far one of the best animation memes I've ever seen! A masterpiece!!!
