I really enjoyed voicing Zale! The animation is so smooth, and the music fits so perfectly as I said before, so I can't wait to voice him again for the later episodes!

Wow!! The art in this is absolutely stunning!! This whole animation is so visually stunning, and smooth! The voice acting in this is also so fantastic!! Ahhh~ I cannot wait to see more! :'D

Not sure how I got here but I love this. 💜

This feels like a real TV show! I mean...really!

This is my favorite project I've done with Hikarian so far. Composing music for Tales of Zale Episode 1 was really an adventurous experience on my end! The amount of work everyone put into this first episode was tremendous. I'm happy to finally see this released, I hope everyone enjoys it! :D

White death bunny of epic foreshadowing!

I hope this gets a REAL series on Netflix or something it deserves it

This is really a high quality series, i really adore this. I can't wait to see the next episode!

Yes! Sif, the animation only got better. Voice acting is quite clean too. Great choice of music. Can't wait for episode 2!

Guys! It quality over quantity! Animations as good as this takes many people and lot's of time. I don't think ANYBODY will be happy if the next is rushed and crappy. Be patient and it will come out eventually.

THIS NEEDS MORE ATTENTION AND POPCORN LOTS OF POPCORN

Exactly one year (exact day) since this animation released. What happened to this idea?

This gives me guardians of ga'hoole vibes! Not because there are birds, but the ruins and adventure. The whole post-humans world, I'm really digging it!

No no don't end do soon! This was one of the best animations I've ever seen, and the scenery was so beautiful. It was just amazing

aaaaaaaaa everything is so pretty and beautiful! And I love Zale and Elva so much, they're adorable! If merchandise ever came featuring their adorable mugs (especially plushies) I would be on those in a flash! Very, very happy to have been a part of this!

I have no doubt you could become a professional cartoon animator and drawer

wow this turned out amazing. I remember when you sent me the animatic of this BUT THIS....It came out much better. And well done to all the voice actors you all did an amazing job (and I'm hard to impress with voice over work). Music was also another amazing thing fit the world perfectly. The only criticism I can give this is maybe adding in just 1 more frame instead of animating on 4-5s...oh yea and LENS FLARES AND CAMERA SHACK!!! Keep up the great work Sif ;)

When i saw the cat in the ruins i was like "KITTYYYYY!!"

We need to see this on Netflix

i love zale's ears and voice

Beautiful! I love the animation, especially how you draw the owl. It is true that some owls stay up during the morning and sometimes wake up during the afternoon, so I think that the timing is good to.

The world needs more Hikarian Animations. Fantastic work!

A vast improvement from the pilot, the amount of time to draw such fluid animation must of been extensive!

This feels like a TV shows about that just got put on Netflix.

Why isn't this popular? It's better than most tv shows today and the animation and voice acting is better too!

I'm so impressed by how much work you've put into this and how polished the final result is. Your attention to sound design, oft the most neglected aspect by many animators, is especially admirable. You should give Matthew, Ryan, Mack, and Nick a big pat on the back for their help in tying it all together. I really hope this project works out and gets the attention it deserves so you can keep making more large productions like it.

This is just completely amazing and fresh. I'm loving it a lot, the sound, music, and voice production is fantastic.

This thing is now going to be a book- And a T.V. show. And an amazing fanbace- And a pain in the butt for you bc of all the asking for the next ep- Im hyped

Holy crap, these animations are so smooth! And the voice acting!! The voice acting!!! It were so good that I didn't even think to react on it until the end!

Gotta say, that voice actor for zale should be KZfaq famous

This looks like one of those 2000s animated show. I like it.

Man, it's great to see web animations with decent quality voice recordings. No popping, cracking, or buzzing to be found!

The emotions are so good,like just the animation of the faces are so good

That was so enchanting!! Really lovely!!

Your art style and animation is so pretty, almost like a gem. It's like something out of a children's book

Hikarian Animations Nice artwork! And Omahdon, your voice is awesome as usual. Evil, but awesome.

Well, I'm ONLY 8 years late, but I stumbled upon this after watching your much more recent masterpiece of a short animation of this series. Even though this episode is obviously MUCH older, it's VERY EASY to see the passion and ambition you have for this project. 4:07 is literal proof of this. I mean, COME ON, YOU HAVE TO BE A LITERAL MADMAN to try to pull off that kind of shot so early in your animation journey! It's incredibly rare to see someone ambitious enough not only to attempt it so early, but also show it off publicly AND pull if off SO GOD DAMN WELL! It's downright incredible and inspiring to see such potent talent like that. WELL DONE to you and your team!

video casually slips into my youtube recommendations six years later.

This is absolutely amazing work!! I love it, Backgrounds are gorgeous. Animation is so smooth. Story so far seems good, great pacing, not too slow or too rushed. Even the voice acting has real quality :)

Excellent work for an independent series! Great start, this has huge potential.

I'm in love with this.

Love this! Great job!

Oooh! Cliff hanger! I am intrigued!

saw the 3rd episode most recently so of course I had to find the others. really cute so far!

The production value jump from the pilot to the first episode is insane; great job!

AWESOME work Hikarian, I love it!! Can't wait to see more!

This is WONDERFUL! The animation, the music, the characters... It's all so cute and charming!! I'm so glad I discovered this!

omg the voices and animation are so good. totaly worth the wait

I'm so excited to see this from when I watched it last time! It'll be fun to see where this goes and if a backstory goes along with it on how the humans vanished. And dangit I love this animation so much. It's so smooth and beautiful.

i love everything about this--from the visuals to the soundtrack, voices, atmosphere, animation--everything is so charming! it's clear a lot of work and love went into this project. i hope your work reaches a wider audience and i can't wait for ep 2!

The environments are so beautiful Amazing job! Everything looks and sounds great!

I love this! I love how you did the motions of these characters

This is by far some of your best work, you've really outdone yourself with this animation, everything about it is so smooth!

The animation is so smooth so is the designs of the characters. The story is also amazing.

This is one of the best animations I've seen in a while! The movements are so good! Most people have their characters stay still while talking, but this is definitely better! It looks like a totally awesome story too! Keep it up!

My goodness, this came out ridiculously well. I'm so glad I'm subscribed to you, and I will do everything I can to spread this series.

Great job Sif!!! I really love this giant epic world you've created. Your colors cascade off the screen. So excited for more!

Oh my, this is wonderful animating, the animation is smooth, it has scenes that change beautifully, this is an inspiration!

I love it! The movement, the backgrounds, the color, the characters, the voices, the story, and every. frikin. thing. this. thing. has. Love it.

truly amazing! this series is definitely one of my favourites already!!

Smooth in all aspects, lovely work!

This turned out fantastically! You're a superb animator and the atmosphere of this show is really interesting.

OH DAAAANNNGGG I CAN'T WAIT FOR EPISODE 2 THE ANIMATION IS A++++++++++ I'M IN LOVE

The art direction, animation, acting and everything else is highly professional. Incredible work.

this is so great! the voice audio quality makes it feel really professional. I really look forward to more!

That was gorgeous! I really dig the setting and tone. It's got a nice dash of whimsy to it and the low framerate didn't stop me from enjoying the performance. Love it! :D

I remember watching this when I was younger, its actually quite nostalgic now, and seeing the new videos its so amazing to see the level of improvement!

This is great! You make wonderful animations and the Humans are gone thing is just so cool!

Utterly charming. Wonderful art-style/animation, and a refreshing tone for an internet cartoon.

The animation and voice acting are stupendous!! You are a great animator.

Love the animation, music, and voices!

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!! Everything about is just so perfect, the art style is BEAUTIFUL and the characters are just so appealing and amazingly written! This is my absolute favorite thing ever!!!

wow the smoothness is amazing!

The animation was so smooth and world is so gorgeously painted. I'm in love with it all! I'm looking very forward to seeing more of this series, I can tell its going to be very enjoyable! :)

THAT WAS AMAZING! Very well done, it got me very interested. This was an original idea, and I am really excited for the next one! Good job!

Love it! You've animated it berry well, and the voice acting was great too. Can't wait till the next one.

How the voices, art and music is very well done.

This is pure talent! 💖 props to everyone who worked on this. I've always wanted to pursue an art career like in video games, movies, or tv shows, but this inspires me to want to be an animator for tv shows or anything of that sort. It's amazing what one person can do to open another's eyes 😊😊☺️

Wow! The ackground art and landscapes are amazing!

love your art style and choices of colors for the characters~! cant wait to see the rest :J

This is a splendid and well did animation/series Hikarian! I am certainly looking forward to the new episode! I'll continue to support in anyway possible. :)

OMg this this is awesome. it's beyond awesome.its beawesome!! SO BEAUTIFUL

This was super lovely and it came out incredibly polished, HK! I really liked the sense of mystery and discovery in this world and I also noticed the little changes you put in your characters from your last pass on critique. This makes me soooo happy and I can't wait to see more of this story :D

This deserves WAY more attention than it has. the animation and backgrounds are GORGEOUS! The music fits it perfectly and the direction is amazing!! This looks like a final project for someone graduating college, and not a youtube series. Amazing job!

Found this over on Newgrounds and had to find you on KZfaq so I could keep better track of this story. Right off the bat, the voice acting is good, but the story you've started seems like it'll be a grand tale. I'm ready for more from this Zale of yours.

OMG! The coulors! The characters! The shading! This is Amazing! Its just pity it isnt longer :3

I love how the story plays along and the next thing is unpredictable! I love it

Wow this is pretty awesome :D. I can't wait for the next Episode!

I really love the storybook-esque style of this animation. It really does add on to the animation itself! And the worldbuilding is great along with lovable characters! And the voice acting is great, too! Lovely work. As an animator myself, I always admire the hard work people put out to show to the rest of us.

First episode and I'm excited to see the next! Awesome job!

This is really really cool! Can't wait for more! :D

I spent hours looking for a good video like this (it was worth it💗💓) :D

This needs more publicity... I LOVE IT! You did amazing!!!!!! :D Time to share everywhere!!!!

I’m coming back to re-watch these episodes over and over again, I’m super intrigued by the animation and storyline! I can’t wait for the 3rd eps! (I think third, I don’t remember)

Very nice, I love the animation style and the characters feel lively :) I look forward to more.

This is some of the best animation I’ve ever seen

This was really interesting ! You're super good c:

So wonderful and I have no complaints again. I'll gladly wait for episode 2.

Beautiful animation and wonderful music. Nicely done!

Awesome, it's out! Looks and sounds great! Glad you're doing this again, looking forward to see where it goes.
