  • WAKFUCK

  • I came here from the porno... I'm sorry

  • @MrDeludedPenguin Nothing wrong with porn; I, for one, am convinced that the decrease in rapes per year since we started recording that number is largely due to the increase in availability of porn.

  • @Genereaver me to

  • THIS IS LIKE

    DIO VS THOR

  • Amazing

  • *shrugs*

    Dio Brando vs Jotaro was better.

  • Son- "Dad. Can Grougaloragran whoop ass like a boss?"

    Dad- "Yes he can, son. Yes he can."

  • This is awesome!!!

  • At first I got angry at everyone calling this Anime.

    But then I used Google Translator.

    Turns out this is anime.

  • OK Wakfu is just awesome, the anime is awesome, the game is awesome as-well in my opinion and its only in french which is unfortunate for those who don't know it good thing i went to a french school ;) . The only way you're gonna watch any type of episode is if you go to the actual site and you can watch the episode of the week which is following the series but otherwise if you wanted to watch anything before that you'd have to buy it OR if your among the luckiest you already have the channel.

  • Where can I get this?  Does the French DVD include English Subtitles?

  • @EMOoftheFunk i dont think it exists in japanese because its made in France

  • Nine people are of the Xelor's Sandglass race.

  • @videogamefan101 Hey! Xelors are awesome! You want to praise these guys who thumbed the video down?

  • @mirghan I agree that Xelors are awesome. I was just saying that for the sake of making a common joke.

  • @videogamefan101 Ah, I get your point.

  • daaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyymmmmmm that was awesome where can i get it in english or japanese

  • doofus 2

  • moral of the episode kids: don't fuck with dragons...

  • HAHA I love his stiff jerky movements, almost like he's winding himself up. Xelor eh? Leave it to the human imagination to make up a race of stopwatches.

  • @oblivexx whatever, in naruto instead of blood they bled ink on cartoon network.

  • @SoulCrapper The show DID get an uncut DVD release, though. They even redubbed some of the lines to include swearing.

  • @Genereaver English dub, or french w/ eng subtitles? either way im buying it. Just show me where to go. Amazon looks like they only have a french version.

  • @SoulCrapper I was talking about Naruto. Wakfu is currently only available in French.

  • @Genereaver Excuse me can i get more info about this "wakfu" when did they start making the series if it is a serie. And whats it about?

  • @BigEOT3 Agreed, but you know they would edit it like crazy.

  • Is this ever going to be released in english?

    If not, is there anywhere i can watch the episodes?

  • @epicnessinacan I saw someone else mentioned this but theres some very kind french speaking 4channers who've subbed every episode in season 1, and are working on season 2 as the episodes come out. google "brotherhood of tofu" they've got links for downloads for every episode and are updating/subbing season 2 episodes as they're released. It's a pretty damn good anime, best I've seen anyway. Give it a shot, I don't speak french but it's very pleasing to listen to regardless!

  • Nox got owned....

    I could be a better Xelor than him.

    (Jokes)

  • Did he just pull a SA WARUDO?

  • Nox got pwned hard

  • 3:23 What I thought when dragons in were announced in Skyrim.

  • I hope they find a good enough English voice actor for Nox, the craziness of the French version is going to be hard to match. perhaps someone who did The Joker...

  • What happens to the third goon?

    He just vanishes! Like Grougal just ate him...

  • man i love the crazy character XD hes fucking amazing :3

  • Animation is good but the only thing that really bugs me about it is when that grougaloragran guy talked the lip sinking wasn't horrid but it was really awkward and choppy.

  • Dofus... wtf?

  • @TheMonkeyWithTheHat No wakfu. same universe though

  • Hey Ankama! English version! Now!

  • God, I love the art in this. It's freaking amazing! The animation however is... choppier than Norman Baits with a weed whacker. >>; Can't have everything I guess.

  • @SlinkyDragon You sure? I've never heard anybody say anything about this but that it's remarkably smooth for flash.

  • @Genereaver The very statement "smooth for flash" suggests that flash is not normally smooth. And this is smooth for flash, For flash it is rather well done, but it suffers from the limitations of flash, It's always going to be choppier than traditional animation. (I use the term 'traditional' loosley, since even traditional animation isn't traditional anymore... everything's digital now lol,)

  • @SlinkyDragon after watching some of the latest episodes of Wakfu season two I've come to prefer flash animation if it is of Wakfu quality...I wonder if it is cheaper to make productions in flash too.

  • @songofyesterday Probably. Instead of having an animator draw hundreds of drawings, he can draw a few characters, break them up into puppet-like parts and pull their strings. It's probably faster than traditional animation too.

  • @SlinkyDragon I agree and disagree, It's flash so it isn't going to be as fluent as say an animation with drawings by hand but it's remarkably well done for flash best I can think of off the top of my head.

  • @SlinkyDragon kind of reminds me of... I think it was called Chaotic. the second series of it.

  • @SlinkyDragon

    ... I'm sorry, what? Are we looking at the same video?

  • A French anime. Now I've seen everything.

  • @danbasker Ever heard of "Ulysses 31"?

    The French have been making things in partnership with the Japanese or in the Japanese style for a long time. They just seem to like that art style.

    The (extremely fucked-up, NSFW) video for DYE's "Fantasy" is another example.

  • @danbasker Anime = Japanese animation. A French "Japanese animation". Now I've seen everything.

  • @TourettePeura Actually, 'anime' is a shortening of the French term 'dessin animé', so while we typically think of the term in a Japanese context, it is French in origin.

  • @Genereaver >Wikipedia

  • Nice art, awesome animation, but man, the voice actors are just ATROCIOUS.

  • This is such a good show

    

  • I love the art style!

  • Why can't we have this play on our channels instead of crap like Icarly, Fish Hooks or Almost Naked Animals?

  • Fucking wow!! That animation is off the hook!!!!

  • super grandpa wildcard bitches

    YEEEEEEHAAAAAA!

  • J'aime bien le Wakfu!

  • I'm assuming this is a lone wolf and cub homage. I wonder ow many other people are actually going to get this reference.

  • sex on the tree!

  • OWNEDD

  • Wheatley's evolved form

  • When will ze French be kind and let America air this show? I vote cartoon Network az they don't mind zhowing blood.

  • @oblivexx

    When an American network will decide to distribute it I guess...

  • @oblivexx STFU

  • wheres a safe site where i can watch this show!

  • @Bamaboy325 If you're still looking, this site has never given me any trouble:

    h tt p : / / brotherhoodoftofu . com / wakfu - season - 1 (just remove the spaces)

    :)

  • 2:29 Grougaloragran....PAWNCH!!!

  • @GabinRevolution hehe ICWHATUDIDTHAR

  • Pretty darn cool!

  • reminds me of samurai jack style animaiotn

  • @nalanol This would be because it's Flash. Only of a far more advanced level. These guys have two whole MMOs completely done in Flash. The only other show with as good Flash skill put into it is Friendship is Magic.

  • @Kayriel ...FiM doesn't even come close.

  • The animation quality has its ups and downs in this show. One of the later episodes was actually the pilot so you might notice a sudden drop in quality for that episode.

    However, some episodes are jaw dropping. 17 comes to mind.

  • How... the hell... did I miss this?  D:

  • wow! great animation. makes me want to learn French.

  • Yes its flash. And the season 2 fan subs are superb. A good crew is on top of it with 1080p and excellent translation and timing. Season 1 is a little hard to get through the first half dozen episodes at times....too childish coupled with relatively poor quality subs and resolution. But it picks up once the main story gets along. This series is epic! I think it will take America by storm once they get in gear and bring it over officially.

  • reminds me of the animation style of Samurai Jack except the animation itself is probably the best I have ever seen.

  • I don't really watch TV, but I'd watch this!

  • Wow. How is it that I've never even heard of this amazing thing.

  • @tarrker yeah its epic you should check out the game too:P

  • needs some bbs trailer music here...

  • Nox's laugh is funny.

  • He mad.

    Litteraly...

  • @Einstreit Why dont you try to hear tick-tocks during all your life?

    What about living 100+ years?

    Let's see...

    60 (seconds) . 60 (minutes) . 24 (hours) . 30 (days a month) . 12 (months a year) . 100 (years) =

    3.110.400.000 tick tocks.

    And yeah, xelors can live more than 100 years.

    And i know that not all months have 30 days.

    That would drive you mad.

  • @itzRafaaa ...If you know that not all months have 30 days, why didn't you just skip months and go for 60*60*24*365.25*100=3,155,760,­000 ?

  • @itzRafaaa Some people have a disease called tinnitus, which makes them hear a constant buzz in their ears. There's currently no cure for it. Many of them end up deeply depressed.

  • Ooh, now that looks lovely. I'd heard about the series but hadn't seen it before. The style is vivid and simple and moves really well. I love the bad guy's voice (the old man calls him 'Xelor'?), so delightfully creepy with that little laugh.

  • @Astria Xelor is the name of a time manipulation class in the MMORPG "Dofus" (which is directly linked to wakfu) you can tell that the class is based off of manipulation of time by the name (backwards its Rolex, the watch brand =D) if you keep watching the show you'll see other classes that all spawn from the game, Dofus. (Which i believe takes place some time before the show (and soon game, which is in beta testing now) wakfu)

  • OH! TIME GUY GOT HIS BUTT KICKED BY A DRAGON

  • Comment removed

  • people actually disliked this? wtf?

  • What do you mean "of all places"? France sends out quite a lot of quality animated shows/movies

  • This needs a dub right the fuck away

  • I came.

  • How can they do the super smooth 3d like animation like at 1:00 2:00 and other places?

    Did they use some special techniques, or did they have a freakishly large budget?

    Usually, animation, especially head turning and other actions that require a lot of redrawing are done with very few frames.

  • >Frenchfags trying to be weeaboo

  • IT will be so badass when this show comes to North America

  • @RogueTooth OH YES. yesyesyesyesyesyes PLEASE in America!!

  • where can i watch the full episode in english sub or dub

  • where do you get HD quality

    give me a private message with good quality!!

  • so you posted this in 2008, its now 2011 and this game is still in closed beta and from what I've seen on youtube it wont be comming out soon. Whats going on here? got any info?

  • @uberfun19 Ankama is slow. That's really all there is to it. The first season of the show is done (it's ridiculously good), the second season is slated for... February, I think, and the game is still in closed beta. They'll be doing a wipe soon, and SquareEnix signed on as the publisher, but there's no real news anywhere.

  • @Genereaver Great question uberfan19. I've been anticipating this show/game for years and every time I check up on it I find that it's made little to no progress. I'm glad to hear the first season is done... when can I order it subbed in English?

  • @Bohvey You can't, but you can buy the DVD set and there are fan-made subtitles you can apply to them if you have the technical know-how. Post from France'll cost you an arm and a leg, though.

  • @Genereaver That's a crying shame. I stumbled upon the series when I caught a piece of fantastic art on Deviant Art a few years ago. I've been trying to keep track of it since then. A friend of mine is an art teacher, I'll just make her watch the series with me. She could probably write it off as an expense for her class... hmmm...

  • @Bohvey I may be able to hook you up, though it'll just be subbed TV recordings; the crew and I quite vehemently disapprove of DVD rips.

  • @Genereaver That would be amazing. Are you associated with Ankama?

  • @Bohvey Afraid not. I am, however, associated with the fansubbing group (hence my hatred of DVD rips; we want to support the company, not steal from it).

  • @Genereaver I'd be happy to support Ankama. I'm hoping that if enough people show interest from the U.S. they'll release a dubbed version for us. Even still, I'd be happy with a subbed version of Wakfu. Do you have a website where we could purchase the subbed version that you've spoken of?

  • Must find more episodes. o_O

  • Wow, the animations are gorgeous.. I need to find this series.

  • 2:17 The power of the keyblade!

  • are those ewoks?

  • @AwayRain

    I think you mean "Jawa"s, the little guys from the first movie in the desert, not the third movie in the forest.

    Also, this is an awesome animation.

  • this is awesome

  • the srams are gonna look awesome in this anime

  • anyone remember code lyoko? or the totally spies crap?? also french anime. i guess its like how you can call Avatar The last airbender or Teen Titans American Anime? 

  • That was awesome.

  • Is this an anime?

  • @SepiRRotH89 Well, it's not Japanese if that's what you're asking. But, since the word 'anime' comes from the French phrase 'dessin anime' (moving images), yes, it is an anime. French, not Japanese.

  • @Genereaver It's Franime?

  • @munglay That seems appropriate.

  • @munglay

    Not in the sense of being jap, its french animation.

  • @Genereaver

    I'm sorry sir but I'm quite sure it comes from the Latin "Anima," as most of the Romantic languages do.

  • HOLY SHIT MUSHROOMS THAT WAS FUCKING AWESOME!

  • the voices just sound....artificial somehow. I can't put my finger on it... AH! THAT'S IT! Their voices sound closer than their characters are to the screen----in other words, this lacks appropriate distance syncing....an I wasn't even aware of that concept until this show failed at it hard enough for me to become aware of it. Aside from that it looks good, though.

  • Visit my channel for a full list of links to download each episode online. =D

    If you love the series, even include the Goultard special!

  • nox is my favourite character in the story ^^ and episodes 1 and 17 are my favourite ^^

    i love nox, his mind and his attacks ^^

  • @Terror380 Yeah hes the only thing I watch I just skip over all the other cookie cutter characters. Without him the show would be nothing.

  • @deadmeh Yeah, you're all right ! In most of the TV shows like Wakfu, I often prefer the enemies, the bad personnalities, you see. They at least have a style, and when you watch the iop's or the cra's personnality, you can say that it were built to make laughing the children. The bad spirit is a bit more reserved to grown ups like you and me. This show isn't boring at all ! It holds you since the first watch ! I hope you understand me, I'm not sure about my English. I'm still young, man !

  • @deadmeh Because I'm French ! Happy new year to everyone !

  • qwertyuiop

  • @TheBestinTest Which? Guezav?

  • dude thats epic!!!!!!!!! c'est le pied xp

  • they've managed to make a really good fight scene, also one of my favorites.

  • The detail in this is simply divine. I wish American cartoons got the same love and respect.

  • I... don't know what to make of this...

  • This clip is from wakfu.

    wakfu is made by the creator of dofus, ankama, a french studio.

    so it is normal if the series isn't subtitle.

  • I love Nox! He may be my favourite villain ever!

  • This beats naruto anytime.

  • Vive la france, We are the best ^^ Vive WAKFU !!! in RPG and a series TV ^^

  • Awesome!

  • damn it i dont speak french :(

  • @vyepez500 I speak spanish, I could understand every other word :)

  • If you want a link for the Subs of ALL the episodes that have been released, give me a PM and I will be happy to pass it along.

  • yo sorry man but do u knw were i could find more episodes (complete would be best) like the 19th episode for example

  • FUCK HIM MAN. YOURE A FUCKING DRAGON.

  • is wakfu on TV what channel is it on WHERE CAN I WATCH IT!!!!!

  • 3:06 katon!! gokakiu no jitsu!!

  • @Inika966 Katon, Goukagyuu no Jutsu! More like

  • @mabz9 ur right :D

  • where can i find the english subbed episodes of this?

  • @crazyTradio1 i dont think they have those yet...YET

  • Now this is one of the few good examples of Flash animation done really well. It's a shame most cartoon studios haven't figured out how to do Flash properly. (i'm looking at you, 'Johnny Test'.)

  • @Launchpad05 I'm still not a huge fan of Flash animations (Johnny Test is simply painful to watch) but I agree that this one's done amazingly well. It compensates with stunning art, and the flash is well done.

  • @Launchpad05 actually most likely it isn't flash but uses the same techniques as flash. it's probably after effects or an animation program. flash is mainly used for the web but this can be acheived in flash most companies just prefer to use other programs.

  • @Launchpad05 Indeed, the animation here is simply gorgeous.

  • @Launchpad05 Johnny test was pretty good at first the animation was good and the humor was spot on but you're right. as it progressed the animation grew lazy and the jokes became lame ass shout outs

  • @StitchyTheBoomer ooooh, didnt see that one comin'

  • @Launchpad05 If I'm not mistaken this show was made with Java, not flash, but I don't really know the difference between the two.

  • @Launchpad05 its french series animeted " Wakfu " is not flash annimeted.

    

  • @stephane06000 they made it using flash. therefore it is flash animated

  • @Launchpad05 wait... johnny test is made from flash? O_o

  • @iceeman931 Yep. It's usually pretty easy to tell; if the characters look like a set of pieces that slide around on-screen, it's probably flash. Wakfu is a special case; it's Flash that actually looks GOOD, because they animate frame-by-frame for the most part.

    Season 2 is a bit different; they actually have three teams. One does the quick run in cheap flash, the second goes over it with 3D models where necessary, and the third animates everything frame by frame.

  • @iceeman931 It looks like it's made from Flash now apparently.

  • @Launchpad05 (Commenting on old comments should be a cardinal sin, I know) but Samurai Jack was also a fairly decent example of quality vector illustration (At least ,for its time.)

  • @Launchpad05 Wait, WHAT is this flash

  • CLOCK UP!
