While the first two episodes certainly do a lot to introduce the viewer to the show's silky smooth animation, this episode starts to employ some additional effects and camera moves that show off the abundant creative talent of ANKAMA. Scenes from Episode 3 - "The Black Raven" There were so, so many terrible AMVs to wade through.ĭone in the style of a 2D platform game, this charming first season opening sequence typically ends with Yugo flying towards a different character featured in that particular episode. Finding these uncut clips (some with subtitles) was not easy.
#Dofus aux tresors de kerubim series
The series originally aired on France 3 but is going to start airing on the French version of Cartoon Network starting January 2013.Īll of the episodes were created in Adobe Flash by Anthony "Tot" Roux, character designer Xavier "Xa" Houssin and Kim "Tcho" Etinoff all of ANKAMA Animation with the exception of the episode "Rubilax" and the special "Noximilien" which were produced in Japan.Īlong with the main series there has also been a spin-off mini-series called "Mini-Wakfu" featuring a super-deformed style, collectable figurines and a manga adaption.įor those who haven't even heard or seen any of this series, the following video clips are available on YouTube and give a good taste of just how impressive a show this is. The last episode aired on March 3rd, 2012. It's possible (but not confirmed) that a third season could be coming. There have been 52 episodes produced and three specials. The series is set 12 years after the game's story and inside the latter can be found numerous citations about the show. The series began airing in 2008 and was well into Season Two before the game on which it's based was released. So while a younger person might find the voices fun, it actually makes it quite difficult for someone to understand them.This is an appreciation/information thread for the animated series WAKFU produced by the talented French animation studio ANKAMA Animation that is based on the MMORPG of the same name by ANKAMA Games released in 2012. Even though it was aimed at a younger audience the characters here all have distracting accents that make it very difficult to understand. Like with Wakfu, I tried to practice my french while watching the shorts but it was even worse here. I do like that it tried to show how the characters had evolved over the years however.
#Dofus aux tresors de kerubim movie
It doesn’t help that the movie drags and there aren’t as many memorable characters nor a very compelling plot. The story is a little more in the vein of something from Wakfu and I think the movie suffers a bit for it as I didn’t expect this tone for the movie. Here you have a slightly older Jaris and it’s his adventure this time.
The animation is even nicer than in the show, which for a bunch of shorts the animation was as good as Wakfu’s so it is impressive for both. The show spawned a movie which judging by the title they were planning for more but didn’t quite get to doing them. Not to mention that the show actually has an ending. The show really has a little bit of everything including comedy, action and good stories. It is true the majority follow this format but not that also doesn’t discredit the stories as some are nice.īut we do get a nice mixture of stories, you have a multi-part episode, you get to meet recurring characters, you see the origin of events and items that are in the background or described in other episodes and you even get some stories that are in the “present” day which are just as fun. The first few episodes set up the status quo and after that we star getting a few episodic shows and if you don’t watch much more than that you may very well think that all episodes are like that.
While most of the show is indeed episodic which is one of the main criticisms this show offers a lot.
