this made me want to go hug my villagers 😭incredible job!

I really like how this episode shows the effects of time travelling in Animal Crossing from the villagers' perspective. I mean, how scary and confusing would it be to have the world suddenly fast-forward and reshape beyond your control? It's only natural that the villagers have had enough of Maskile's antics. I especially feel sorry for Raymond who had his house stuck in a hole!

Somehow, this is both the creepiest and most wholesome one, at the same time. Time warping is surreal, but he was actually being friendly at times, seemed to be having fun, was doing things for other people (except Raymond), and the island ended up looking really nice! But for the people loving there, the process was absolutely terrifying at first.

omg, I feel like this really captures the absolute *chaos* the villagers must be experiencing when we (the players) move things around and terraform, especially when couple it with time travelling to get it done faster

Can Nintendo hire you to make the next Animal Crossing movie?

I absolutely love how Mask Boy basically represents "us" and how creepy the behaviour can be received if the villagers would be actually alive. Really smartly done :)

These shorts really have a way of making Animal Crossing seem like a cruel hellscape for the villagers lmao.

Timmy and Tommy warding off the masked villager with a wooden cross at 5:14 was such a hilarious touch! 😂

Dotty's eyes turning red after Nook hits her at 4:36 made me bust a gut. I love that you included that little detail from the games

This is my favorite one so far. So well done!!!

The Mask guy being absent from the group photo is probably the moment that cements the fact that he's an eldritch entity to the island residents. I know it's probably because he time travelled again at that exact moment, but I like to think that he actually cannot be captured on pictures because of how utterly ELDRITCH of a being he is.

I love how scary he is to the villagers. feels like wandavision

4:44 The music that plays during the designing process is perfect, it really sounds as if he's causing some form of destruction

The Masked Villager is the most mysterious and scary yet interesting antagonist of the _Animal Crossing_ short series. He can control the entire village and messes everyone around that not even Resetti can deal with him anymore.

1:15 the detailing on the window to look like finger prints / frost.. insane. You’re incredible.

Sometimes I feel like my island is too simple, especially when I compare it to the spectacular ones I've seen from more seasoned players. But this has soundly convinced me that a nice quiet island and a relaxing environment is the way to go.

I think I noticed that when Mask entered resident service at the beginning of the episode, the bell didn't ring like it did when the villagers were walking into on Town Meeting. Also, I feel kinda bad for Raymond, having his house collapsed on the cliff. I still think that he regrets moving away from Susie's island. And despite how nice the island turned out, Mask was still causing destruction & I wouldn't blame the villagers wanting to evict him...which begs the question, would eviting him cause a reset on the whole game? Looking forward to the next episode to see what happens?

Amazing work!

All houses on the beach. So relatable 😂 Its a masterpiece

If we could crowd fund for you to make an Animal crossing film some day, I would definitely put money in. Your animation is flawless

I saw this episode first, without knowing there were others, and it just seemed mostly cute, like, Mask is obviously causing a bit of chaos and confusion, but not maliciously. He was emoting and all (that cheery wave to Nook lol). So I took Nook being uncomfortable and the villagers wanting to evict Mask as reactions to just the time travel, and it did make sense to me, since what was happening was definitely weird from their perspective. But after seeing all other episodes, and re-watching this one, damn, Mask's emoting is actually creepy now >.< Why's he so cheery all of a sudden? My best guess is that he's a player who doesn't have a 'connection' to the AC world like most players have (as in, cares about villagers/the island, plays the game to relax and have fun), and is more of a power player? But at the same time, he was doing pretty nice stuff for (almost) everyone this time... Or tried to at least, tbh I can relate to starting a big terraforming project only to abandon it halfway through lol Either way, excited for next episode! Justice for Raymond and Pietro! Edit: Timmy and Tommy attempting to exorcize Mask is a valid reaction lol

Honestly laughed when Mask Boy went to the Switch settings. Really love the creativity you're making in these videos. I keep saying this in every video, but you have outdone yourself yet again. Nice job. 👍

the sight of timmy and tommy holding a cross at 5:15 made me laughed so hard 😆

3:30 I like how Tom is just staring at him and he's like 'yo'

I’m never time traveling again.

Like most of the other vids, there's a little extra after the end screen ;) But thanks for watching!

5:23 froggy chair spotted!

I love how almost whimsical this is, despite Maskie's whole.... deal. lmao

I gotta say this series is amazing! The story, the visuals, the references, the small details! Everything! Everything about this is amazing and im so excited!!!

Seriously, this is such incredible work. The creative extension of the ACNH universe is so satisfying. I don't care how long it takes for the next vid, happy to wait as long as necessary if it means we get material like this. 🏝️

5:00 The new UP movie looks great

In Reset part 2, Isabelle said deep down there is something good inside of him and I can see where she came from. He is actually resourceful, can put time and care into things if he wants to. I mean, the moving process is really tedious but he went through it all. He actually try to make it looks nice, making a sonic shape flower garden? For island 5 star rating you don't have to make it look nice, it's just all about the quantity of stuffs you put out, he can just scatter furniture and flowers around if he wanna be careless about it. And so much for calling him ''Evil", I mean, he's playing a game like how any other people play, tormenting villagers for a laugh, time travelling, skip dialogue, giving a fav villager a nice place and the opposite for the ones he doesn't like. What I'm trying to say is he's not evil, he's just playing a game. But it's an issue because in this series, all the NPCs are actually sentient and he doesn't know that. He's just someone who got the game and sit down to play it, doing whatever he think is fun. Though, after Reset part 2 I'm curious to know where his stand is after knowing that it's not 'just a game' anymore. Has he learned a lesson or will he come down even harder on the Nook and Co. THAT is when we can really say if he's evil or not, I think

I know Wisp said that the island designer “doesn’t care about anything” and that’s what makes him so scary but this episode proves that he has a vision ! and he put more care and time into his island than most people I know who play ! I have hope he’s just misunderstood 😂❤️

I'm gonna miss another premiere, I am volunteering right now. But when I get home this is the FIRST thing I am watching :D

5:09 got me

Dude, that shot when nook comes out of the community services centre and everything is in the air looked amazing! Keep up the great work.

Just seeing Dotty as a minimally important character made me happy, already my favorite episode just for that reason and because its just so goood lol great work!

These are always so impressive haha.

Lol. I love how he put my favorite baby Goldie in a beautiful flower field. Poor Raymond, Maskie paid all those bells for him just to trash his place. lol. This was wicked and beautiful.

4:38 I think this is my favourite moment, plus the houses flying through the air 🤣🤣 I’ve watched this video 4 times in the past 2 days - I love everything about it, especially the music, v reminiscent of Ary Barroso’s Brazil! It’s also inspired me to try and get my island to 5 stars ⭐️

I gotta say Pietro is starting to be my favorite character in your series. I love his IDGF attitude, and especially what he does at 4:53 was funny as hell. Bravo!

2:18 - I wasn't prepared for this. Excellent touch of storytelling!

Gotta say, this makes me feel good about how I make changes to my island slowly and don't time travel to speed them up. I think you need a little time to get a feel for the changes you make. That's what works best for me, at least!

The island at 5:45 was not bad…. I like it actually

This is the best one yet oh no

Proud of you bro🍻

1:25 I’m sorry, but this scene is downright hilarious to me for no reason.

Everyone else, quite relaxed about this : Timmy and tommy with crosses : STAY AWAY DEMON

the quality of everything is so impressive the animation, the editing, the soundtrack, the materials, the LIGHTING "nintendo, hire this man" has never felt so true. this is everything i ever dreamed out of an animal crossing show and more

At least he made it pretty! He used his time wisely I'm sure he also had time to give blathers a bunch of fossils

I loved this one! Originally my favorite had to be "The Collector" but noone can beat Tommy and Timmy resenting us with the cross (5:14) lmao

Who would have thought lolly’s diy would lead to this (If you’re confused what i mean in lolly’s crafting you can see the recipe calls for 400 gold nuggets(seen in this video) wisps soul pieces (which we know maskie took in the isabelle’s dream video), a five star island(this video) and one more thing which couldn’t be read in the diy)

the man, the myth, the legend deepens the lore yet again. your story telling is so well-done. environmental story-telling and all (i think lol)

I absolutely ADORE your work! Don't worry too much about the complainers. If they want more so bad, they can make it themselves! As a fellow artist, and dabbler in animation, I know it takes time. Keep up the good work, and just enjoy the creative process! And to those who want more now, but aren't polite about it, take a chill pill or learn to time travel.

I was so happy when the new episode suddenly showed up on my feed. Didn't expect that at all, thank you so much Densle for all the work you put in 😊 And of course, we love an angry mob of virtual cute animals in a wholesome game, I'm very curious whether they can evict mask boi. But for someone yelling "EVICT , they sounded way too cute 😂 I had to repeat over and over again

When I saw he had Hades on his switch, my joy level tripled.

3:03 : Every day I wake up, then I start to break up Lonely is a man without love Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out Lonely is a man without love

I laughed so much just seeing the houses flying and the villagers reactions to it! 😂 You make amazing videos and I can’t wait to see the next one!

i know i've commented before, but one comment isn't enough. i keep coming back to this. the pacing, the cinematography, the lighting, the original soundtrack, the way the plot uses the animal crossing mechanics to its advantage, and shows what it's like from the point of view of the villagers... this is genuinely one of the best series of blender short films i've seen; i feel like nintendo couldn't make something this good. maybe their version would look even prettier, but the writing in this feels incredibly more genuine and authentic than what a studio and executives would dare to do. i cannot express how incredibly good this is, and how skilled you (and other people working on this with you) are. this is part of the rare exemples of extremely high-quality content on a youtube landscape that's oversaturated with garbage. please take your time with the next episodes, in the meantime i'm going to share your channel with as many friends as possible.

I cant get over the fact Mask boy didnt even bother waiting for the photo to be taken himself

1:38 Dotty has cursed Tom Nook plush as Tom Nook's pfp Nice :D

“Number of Trees More than 1 -38” Lmao, they really don’t appreciate trees. Beautifully done as always Densle.

yall i cant with how mask put raymond's house in jail. absolutely beautiful

Not gonna lie. At 5:15 I laughed so hard I coughed like a smoker and then nearly wheezed myself to death 🙃

This has to be my favorite one so far, I love the visuals of all the buildings floating through the air whilst Mask just sits there quietly on top of his own house.

I've rewatched it a dozen times already and it gets more awesome every time, the attention to detail is so good, 5:14 has me wheezing every time, I swear to tanuki gods lol Thank you so much for your work!!

Seeing him move all the buildings was genuinely hilarious.

The amount of care mask boi put into his island tho

2:46 Tom Nook: What the hell just happened? good animation i like your videos

This is a really amazing detailed animation, I also noticed that you called the switch "maskie"

3:37 UP 2

This is SO well done WOW

Ah yes, the infamous time travel method that everyone used back in the day. Your animations are so stunning and this series shows how creepy can some details are in New Horizons. Good job!

as an avid time traveler who has both filbert and pietro 5:35 lowkey made me feel bad 😭

The renovated island looks fantastic! Masked is a genius and brilliant person! Stop framing him to be a heartless man! He’s just a visionary designer who wants to build a beautiful island! Villagers, learn to appreciate your (us) island rep!!

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE! These are so amazing, and I love how they seem like they are leading up to something big. Excited to see what's next!

I know one day you’ll stop doing these and that day will be a sad one, but until then, I will keep being amazed at the amazing videos you produce. The creativity, editing, art, story, everything!! This one was particularly amazing. I’m really excited to see every single one of these you put out multiple times and share it with everyone I know because, truly, WOW THIS IS ART

WOW that was amazing! Time travelling is something I do without much thought now, but the way you interpreted this concept made it so fun to watch. I really loved the dialogue, the pacing, the sounds used, and the scene where Tom Nook goes out and sees everything flying in the sky! You're so creative in your storytelling!! The tiny details from the game and comedy bits were fantastic! 'Terrorformed' is also such a terrific song :D

Great job at making the masked character so mysterious, despite us basically knowing what he is doing since we play the game, the way you portray him makes him feel like some supernatural construct, though its hard to distinguish if he was made in heaven or hell ;)

As a long time traveller this made me laugh so hard especially at 3:20 Superb episode Very well done 😊

2:32 So "Mask Boy" shares his Switch with another account, meaning another player could potentially inhabit his island due to ACNH's "one-island-per-Switch" rule? Being the perfectionist that he is, I'd imagine he'd forbid any other human player from touching his perfect world... Unless they're both for him and it's for some kind of glitch or exploit? Maybe he's making the island just to please someone else IRL? The Densle Animal Crossing plot THICKENS YET AGAIN!!!

This is really good. I always love the conflict and the villagers feelings ^^

Dotty's sass just killed me. That 0300 phone call was something I felt to my bones

Relatable. I always wondered what it was like for the villagers when we time traveled. Ya know, Maskie seems dark and sinister, and then you realize they’re just a normal damn person playing Animal Crossing. Except for what they did to Pietro. That was a lil messed up~

This was amazing. Your animal crossing animations never cease to impress! Hope you go a long way, and take care!

As always just a fantastic video. I love how everyone is so horrified by Maskie's antics yet all of us have done them in one fashion or another. And to those who say they'd never burn down a villager's house, please. If that was a feature, Moose and Tabby would constantly be sleeping in a pile of cinders on all your islands. Take your time on the next video and avoid burnout from the "more" crowd. Amazing work.

The way it went to the switch menu is awesome

I’ve watched other videos but this one hit so close 😂 I just finally took the plunge to flatten my island and start from scratch 😂 seeing all the houses on the beach and as well their comments omg. As others have mentioned thank you what a creative and beautiful video, also hands down will watch an ACNH movie, Nintendo you know who to hire right here!

4:26 how does this man have 11 villagers though

The houses being tossed around cracked me up, but when timmy and tommy were standing there like "Get back spawn of the devil!" I had to pause with how hard I was laughing.

the view from raymond’s house looked like paradise falls from up, is it just me?

The music, the time lapse, the homes moving through the sky and different dimensions...absolutely amazing!

I’m so thoroughly invested in this. I crave more. But please, take your time with this. Don’t ever rush a project to meet fans demands, you owe us nothing. I’m just grateful I get to enjoy your content.

Timmy and Tommy holding up a cross to the player really gets me LMAO!

Holy shit! Mask is insane but yet! My favorite villain!

This was absolutely amazing. As a time traveling designer, I laughed the entire time through. I just love all the different perspectives you do in these videos! I never thought about it from the villagers’ perspective, but this perfectly sums up the utter chaos that goes on and what they’d see. 😂 I just cracked up at all the little funny details like Timmy and Tommy hiding behind the counter with a cross, Dotty being woken up at 3AM to move her house (relatable) Raymond’s house being left in the dirt to show you’re trying to ignore him to sell him (later falling off the cliff 🤣) and Filbert’s reaction to seeing his house fly off when before oblivious to what was going on. Also Dotty’s shade at MC is hilarious. Many more things though. Loved the entire thing and might be my favorite so far you’ve made! These videos are always worth it, thank you for making these for us!!

3:56 * unaware *

The modeling work and animation is top notch!! I can't imagine how long it took to create the scene with the pan of the town

3:45 Mask Man's moving castle

As a Time Traveler myself, this feels pretty darn accurate lmao. This one is definitely my favorite so far!
