Zenless Zone Zero’s official release is coming soon! Pre-register here: hoyo.link/coOiFfAL

God, I wish Von Lycaon would inter-knot me... I mean whaaaaat, who said that

I feel like "zenless" is a great way of saying "no chill" and want to work it into my lexicon.

The most striking thing about the animation to me is how they’re absolutely not afraid of going off model to play up expressiveness. Like if you pause during some of the more action-y cutscenes odds are good you’ll see damn smear frames. Which is insane to me.

I think the reason the animation is so good is because it is absolutely peaking on a really basic animation fundamental: squash and stretch. Every character gets their actions and mannerisms extra emphasized with anticipation frames (squashing up) before letting loose and becoming extra, well, extra (stretch).

Missed opportunity for title to be Shenless Shone Shero

I can't get enough of this animation. Also Billy is just... Perfect. Cool and dorky in equal measure.

Shen letting out the ugliest, most horrendous giggle in existence after seeing the wolf man at 11:20 is why i started to watch this channel... Never change, Shen, love ya❤️

god i cant WAIT for this to release im so glad you got into the beta so we could get a vid on it from you earlier

THANK GOD THEY WENT ALL OUT FOR THE ANIMATION LIKE THESE CUTSCENES WERE SO BOUNCY AND SMOOTH!!!

haven't seen animation this good since hi-fi rush

Hoyo made a great choice by asking Shenpai to promote this game. I feel like it fits her perfectly. Also, this game heavily reminds me of Scullgirls with such varied characters.

Awww! Bunnypai is so cute! Edit: The Male MC voice is absolutely smooth. Shenpai has good taste.

Genshin: rarity for the MC to speak at ALL Star Rail: more common than Genshin, but still not the most often ZZZ: talk all the time hell yeah let's go, my ADHD is INTO THIS

I saw a random ad for this game and was really worried it was going to be some sort of basic phone gacha game, while it still has some of that it looks SO MUCH BETTER and I really want to try it when it's out!

they gave Billy the Deadpool/Spiderman eyes and it's great

the way this game scratched my urge for bayonetta/dmc combat, TWEWY style and music, then my barely suppressed gambling urges during the beta means my money is in danger. hoyo finally got my ass after all these years

Billy personifies all the "Dante is a gay cowboy" memes in the best way! I LOVE HIM!

The animation in this reminds me a *lot* of Trigun Stampede. They're USING the 3d animation and animating it uniquely and with different techniques from 2d animation, and it's to its favor. There's a sense of squash and stretch that's used that reminds me a lot of pixar. It's very impressive.

EVEN SHENN..

Zenless zone zero is already a fever dream. And I am all for it! The character designs are so cool and cute!!!!!!! This game has a lot of life in it already. Thanks for an amazing video again shen!

Animation? Sick af Gameplay? Sick af Characters? Sick af Music? Sick af As far as ive seen They‘re cooking a freaking banquet

bruh,,,, this game got my art brain going crazy - I'm so looking forward to more

23:57 His just standing there, MENACINGLY!

ZZZ is my dream game. I'm a sucker for Street Art and Street Wear, so naturally when this game was annouced with it's myriad of styles of characters and the FUCKING DESIGN OF THE WORLD I JUST AAAAAAA. Saying "My God" in english isn't enough so I'll just yell "MEIN GÖTT ALTER!!!!" What a fucking game, I can't wait to get my hands on it by July.

22:06 *FUCKIGN BNUUY*

28:03 the reference is making me laugh harder than it should

This game is extremely not my usual vibe but you may have sold me on it on style alone; genuinely feels like I'm watching a hype shonen fight scene where teamwork is the key to success. All the characters have such a distinct kinetic moveset and the fact that there's obviously more to unlock has me friggin salivating.

While I'm no fan of gacha, I have to say the voice acting and just the bounciness of the character animation is so dang GOOOOOOOOD!

20:58 Love that this sounds like it was FIGHTING to get out of you

Ben Bigger makes me think unholy thoughts.

I was waiting to watch the vod for this after catching up with the Star Rail vods, a highlight is a welcome surprise

27:15 is why you gotta love shen

Broooo the animations are so bouncy and expressive!!!

11:14 shen inspects the roster

Shenpai's reaction to Von Lycaon pretty much sells this game

Whelp, looks like retro has finally caught up with the 2000s.

I have been looking forward to this game, but seeing it in action now and seeing you enjoy it as well, sold me for sure. I am definitely playing this once it launches!

I've already made up my mind i will only use the big bear and nothing else

I am rewatching this video multiple times, CAN IT PLEASE RELEASE ALREADY

11:26 yep. They definitely are knotting on the internet now.

I need to play this yesterday! The animation, the smooth combat, and the characters, they just hit right

This game makes my brain explode with how good it looks. Hopefully it takes of well since my god the animators are cooking.

Oh fuck those animations got me. I love this bouncy style

If the Zone is out of Zen again I stg...

Wasn't sure about this game before but its now going to be the game im obsessed with just bc of the animation

This game reminds me of Spiderverse but bleeding with 2000s freshness, it looks so good I might play it next year after I finish Tower of Fantasy! (Thanks for posting this today Shen, cause my mum earlier today told me that one of our cats passed away recently and only lived for 5ish months before she moved to live with them so this was the HAPPINESS boost I needed TSYM for this!)

Shen's reaction to Von Lycaon is so real

This game just oozes style and effort

She got bit by the Hoyobug. Its joever.

This makes me want to try it out, thanks for delivering good content as always shen

Only thing thay will ruin this game for me is the inevitable microtransactions

okay i 100% need one of those shen-bots from the opening. Feel like i could start my own Despicable me Arc with a couple dozen!

I can finally watch some gameplay, and from one of my favs to boot! For now, I think I’ll like it.

Hell ye Shen! Glad to see this

I'm so glad you got to check this game out!!! I'm so hype for it!!!!!

im so hyped up for this game, the combat, the style, everything about it HITS so good

The animation in this is stellar! Not into the whole gacha roulette model, but ZZZ is undeniably expressive & smoothly animated . Gameplay looks good too (tho lets hope it avoids the gacha pitfall of having a few OP characters that make it all a boring cakewalk)

27:42 BEAR NECESSITIES LETS GOOOOOOO

Finally a hoyoverse game with combat that actually looks like youre PLAYING a game

This game looks so good, and I love Billy I get massive deadpool vids, really hope you do series on this

From "Space Train to the Cosmos" to "Hi-Fi Punk"? This will be interesting...

man ive been binge watching your latest videos cuz i kinda stopped watching youtube for months and this is more laugh i had in this WHOLE year lmao. Keep it coming youre a fun-guy!!! :D cant wait for moreeeee (i am in need of your videos more than air to live >:c )

This video singlehandedly convinced me to play this game. That gameplay looks incredible

I love how extra the animation is

I love watching this power bottoms content, thank you Shen for bringing us another video

I was planning on skipping out on ZZZ, but you convinced me to at least give it a shot. Hopefully it doesn't consume my life or wallet. Sidenote: I really do enjoy watching you and your stuff. Your laugh is contagious and despite having some confidence issues you still seem to put as much as you can into things. Never stop

NGL but, this was a VERY good intro. Very creative and entertaining !

I kid you not and I don't know why but when I saw that god damn wolf guy I turned into Shen whenever she plays Hades GOD HE'S TOO DAMN HOT Update: I love Ben Bigger I love that god damn bear

Coming into this video the only thing I knew about it was that there was an extremely really really REALLY hot wolf man I am now coming from this video with the knowledge that Mihoyo made a perfect game with an extremely huggable cyberpunk Ai Ohto (from Wonder Egg Priority), an extremely dommable Caelus (from HSR), Wrench (from Watch Dogs), combat like Honkai Impact 3rd, character design that would make a God cry (the "this is so beautiful" type of crying), a voice cast more perfecter than the most perfectestest cup of iced coffee on a cool 65° lightly rainy morning, and an animation budget that makes the US Defense Budget look like the pennies stuck to the bottom of your cars cupholder This game isn't just edible, it is a 17-course meal where you think the meal you just had was the best one but the next one is even better

Another cool animation detail is that apparently in the character selection and modification screens going through the different tabs has them move between different poses... and the order in which you go through the tabs matters! There are two variant poses for each tab as well as a different transition animation between the poses to make them flow from one to the next logically. The attention to detail in this game's visuals is crazy!

The game’s style feels like a mix of Splatoon and Persona. I dig it.

The fact that we have to wait two more months for this to come out is a SIN! I NEED THIS GAME RIGHT NOW

oh the artstyle is so perfect AAAAA

This looks so cool and zany! I can't wait to play it!

I haven't seen a game oozing with this much personality since P5.

I like that the guy who seemed like he'd be cool with his spikey hair,red,jacket,dual world gun is actually a total spaz and doofus 🤣

Wowie it looks better than I expected

I didn't think I'd like this game when I saw it, but this has about sold me on it. Also, Wise's "I don't understand girls" is amazing

this game has so much style. Oh my god

Gods I can't wait for this game to release! the animations are so good

I only just now got the KZfaq notification about this upload, I was already aware since I already saved it to watch it later. Only took KZfaq 4 hours..

I am PRAYING that this game releases on the PS5 soon. I didn’t know Honkai: Star Rail would actually release on the PS5 later in the year on the day of it’s release (ToT)

So many good game is coming soon letsgoo

I know this may be off topic, but this game looks so damn good for it being made on the Unity engine (besides Escape from Tarkov). The blending of animation with comic story telling is seamless and doesn't break the flow.

GODAMMIT, SHEN! NOW I KINDA LIKE THE HOYOVERSE BECAUSE OF YOU!

July 3rd rumors, anyone? Super hyped.

Hoyoverse try not to make a gatcha challenge (Impossible)

Billy seems like a Deadpool cyborg clone, from the one liners to the fighting style...

2:14 I love the personality in this Billy is running completely straight using those long ass legs to get over the TVs Anby is parkouring like a pro Nicole is just going around the TVs because she is the least acrobatic and carrying the heaviest load (in her hands and in front of her)

Can't wait to play!

I pre-registered immediately, this game has so much personality!

The visuals are awesome.

I want to be Von Lycaon's doormat

Everytime I see a video about this game I keep thinking it’s out already

I'm so hyped for this game!

This is probably the first time a gacha game is holding my interest and I'm tempted to pre-register for the game. The gameplay looks so fun, the characters are nicely designed, everything just looks smooth and cleanly put together. I also like your animation of the proxy rabbit at the start of the video. It would be cool for the devs to add your design of the proxy to the game as a little nod to you testing out the beta. Great video today Shen! 💚

this game looks so good it hurts my soul that we gotta wait until like july to play it

In the beginning of the video, I thought you sounded like Aiba from Ai Somnium Files. I love that game.

Damn, the animation for this game is absolutely batshit.
