Equestrian Mythos

[MixedScales]

Amazing, grand, epic, and these words are insults compared to this piece of art.The music is beautiful, you tell a great story in about 2:30 min, the timing is perfect. Everything about this is just stunning... Brings a tear to my eye :') Thank you so much, gives me hope to this world... I wish I could say more, but I just don't know what to say. I'll just let the video speak for it self.

[machinimaman1]

This shit is so epic i may never use caps lock again :O

[PHR16384]

Gosh, Equestria has a lot of mythical beasts. A truly stunning video, this is. *fav*

One problem, though: The MPEG compression totally ruins that beautiful edge detection. You wouldn't happen to have a copy of the video prior to the YouTube upload, would you?

[OmegaOzone]

@PHR16384 I added a download link for a remastered HD version in the description. There's also an HD download for My Little 1up in the description of that video if you're interested. Enjoy :)

[100frankthetank]

i just can watch this over and over again. great work

[zxdvas]

i wonder how i got there by searching"stay out of my shred mlp"

[purplebananafish]

What's the spider-ish creature at 0:29? It's the only one I don't regonise.

[OmegaOzone]

@purplebananafish It's one of those monstrous spiders Luna creates in "Luna Eclipsed" when she's playing the spider tossing game.

[lunitariaprime]

That was... amazing!

[plotbuster]

seriously, this is one of my favorite pony things. period



[mameraula]

I think I broke the pause button

[Geassguy360]

Awesome vid.

[trueShazb0t]

@Geassguy360 They're in there. Watch again.

[Geassguy360]

@trueShazb0t Wow. How did I miss them? Video must have been lagging from bad internet connection. My bad. : (

[trueShazb0t]

@Geassguy360 You are forgiven. :)

[FritoyezSchumann]

Why is this so epic, why does my body shake in harmony to the music, and the video filter used reminds me of Okami intro. It's just fantastic.

[hawede2312]

So Many Spoiler in 2 minutes @~@

[XDKang]

I like how the 'Chinese' words there don't even make a single bit of sense. Not like it's supposed to.

[AzierM]

@XDKang They're not actually Chinese characters, just highly stylized English. You can read them if you stare at them long enough.

[ChromaMonster]

Where do all these awesome videos even come from?!

[FlamingAtheist]

Long ago in a distant land. I Discord, the shape-shifting master of disharmony, Unleashed unspeakable chaos! But 6 foolish little ponies stepped forth to oppose me!

Before the final blow was struck, I tore open a portal of disharmony and flung the ponies into a state of chaos!

Now one foolish pony seeks to return peace and harmony to the land, and undo the the chaos that is Discord!

*WATCHOUT*

[PieEaterV2]

@FlamingAtheist Look up Samurai Applejack

[FlamingAtheist]

@PieEaterV2 yea iv seen

[thelovelypenguin]

This is simply amazing!

[Wbfuhn]

More please. This was very good.

[rickneil01]

When you think about it, the Mane 6 have done some pretty epic stuff.

[zechert]

2:15 pinkie's looking at us

[combinesoldier94]

Whoever made this is a god. I love it.

[Generalz151]

all hail...all hail

[SubjectSigma77]

i want to cry from how beutiful this is :')

[TailSpin56]

This is great!

[IslandDalek]

I can't favorite twice...

[aznjohny]

1. It's pretty awesome how the characters you've used look like Chinese characters, I was trying to read them myself without realising it's just English.

2. I really can see that in the future, FIM will look back on its mane cast. The new possible set of main characters getting told of a tale of the Mane 6 back in their days.

[44CAPSLOCK]

I got shivers like 20 times during this video. This has to be one of the best fan-made videos out there

[pokedigimonnerd]

this is THE MOST GREATEST, MOTHERFUCKIN PONY RELATED THING EVER!

[lazywalrusHD]

<3 ed harrison

[Ragnarok633]

Gave me chills.

Wonderfully done with an amazing sound.

You sir just earned your video a like. And earn it you most certainly did.

[shadowcatkill69]

I don't know why, but I've got a feel that playing the Samurai Champloo main theme when the monster slideshow ends would fit perfectly

[DarkeonWarlord]

Dude. Amazing

[byakuya9444]

awesummmm



[KR4K40]

I paused every page to read it in its entirety. Didn't you?

[MrN1NJASTYLE]

im not a brony....really im not

ive got a friend who sent me this, and hes a brony

but i acually enjoyed the fuck outta this. i liked the music and it was just kinda cool

still theres fucking ponys but whatever

[shadowcatkill69]

@MrN1NJASTYLE "im not a brony....really im not"

Joiiiiin uuus, joiiiiin uuuuuuuuussssss

[MrN1NJASTYLE]

@shadowcatkill69 why

[VengeLeed]

@MrN1NJASTYLE Much respect man.

[MrN1NJASTYLE]

@VengeLeed fuck yeah :)

[ronnoc360]

@MrN1NJASTYLE That's how I started out. Hell, that's how most of us started out. Not watching the show first, but everything else. Give it time. You may not like it if you try, but that's fine. You don't have to.

[MrN1NJASTYLE]

@ronnoc360 Oh ive watched it, just a couple of episodes though.

Im not a hater but i dunno.

Ive got nothing against it but it doesnt mean im a brony

[Knightmaren11]

@MrN1NJASTYLE All non-bronies should be like you.

[MrN1NJASTYLE]

@Knightmaren11 Thanks man

[MrN1NJASTYLE]

@Knightmaren11 i guess...?

[ICouldBeAnyPony]

@MrN1NJASTYLE Shhhhhh hes just trying to hide his real feelings.....doesnt want to admit the transformation has already begun

[ClownzRevenge]

some badass art work there.

[felllock]

awesome..

To favorites

[calimantis]

Man, when you think about it, Equestria is a pretty dangerous place to be.

[Cifyra]

@calimantis

c'mon whens the last time anypony even got hurt from those monsters?

[calimantis]

@Cifyra

Twilight, when she was completely turned to stone by a cockatrice. Had the CMC not snuck out of Fluttershy's house and Fluttershy subsequently went to look for them, I imagine she'd have been stuck that way for a very long time.

I imagine a fair share of ponies have fallen victim to a number of them in the past as well. Just because you don't hear about it doesn't mean it hasn't happened.

[tayy250]

SUCH A GOOD VIDEO

[soraboy93]

Even if you didn't know the language,you should have had a larger selection of words,because I find the repeated usage of words...glaring.

...Nice effort,though.

[Jemoregotin]

this is amazing actually! but it needs reading time, the transitions are fast..

[laz0r4321]

You forgot Cervidas.

And the God King.

And the Ley Lines.

[typoded]

okami anyone? :P

[strangemodul3]

Probably been mentioned before, but I like how you used the song from the NEOTOKYO trailer! That was a good video, good job with the editing.

[Fafnd]

OOOH its like a monster manual for MLP: FiM I approve

[eddsworld99]

I thought the red and green dragons were called cave dragons...

And aren't they called quarray eels, name a combination of quarry and moray eel, the animal it's based on? Anyway, great video! Nice pacing, timing, effects, ect...

[notElecguitar]

holy sweet celestiagasm....I SUBSCRIBED BUT THERE ARE NO NEW VIDEOS YET D:

[Deafdoom33]

neat

[StarHecman]

Wow! Epic stuff viewed that way! Like what ponies down a thousand years in the future will see the mane six.

[Jocuro2]

See? The show isn't just rainbows and Unicorns. It's awesomesauce with the option of rainbows and Unicorns.

[MagicSysRqKey]

Thats...... epic....

[lolke12]

0:26 it says parasprite xD

[philipbabb]

So awsome, this format made the whole thing 20% cooler.

[macchinaCS]

Good job, ozone!

[ThatNotSoAznKid]

@Cifyra You realize that its still English and the font just adds random slashes to make it look like Chinese characters...

[Cifyra]

@ThatNotSoAznKid

Ok maybe white people can read it that's cool. But people who can read Chinese text and its derivatives(simplified, Japanese Kanji, etc) will most likely find it nonsensical at first. Some who are not open minded at this might even find it offensive and interpret it as an ignorant stereotype about their language.

To them this might be the written equivalent of going "Ching chong ring rong?" to an Asian looking guy.

Personally I find it cool but just be careful

[soraboy93]

@Cifyra Well as a chinese I find it hilarious...but i find the repetition of characters a bit glaring.Even if it's nonsensical it should have been more diverse.Most of these are repeated usage of simple characters

[Cifyra]

Ugh as a Chinese, the random nonsensical Chinese characters you copied and pasted from God knows where makes my eyes hurt. Maybe next time you could ask for someone who can translate it for you for free? I'm sure there are tonnes of bronies willing to do it for you.

[Blitztavia]

Whoa, I mean, holy s[buy some apples]! That... was... awesome.

[TommyXe]

This is masterpiece.

[dundeecake]

VERY well done!

I love the part on the griffons. Little typo there though; 'repsect'.

Wow, the part on Discord is grim. 'His figure now stands forever pertified in this disfigured state''

We actually do not know if this is 'forever' and 'once and for all' as Discord was freed when Celestia's powers wore off and where given to the main 6. It could be by Twilight's and the rest's death he'll be free again.

[RKade15]

Extremely well done, whatever program you used for the conversion to that 'drawn' style, it comes across really nicely.

[MisterFlyingMushroom]

Holy shit.......that was 20% cooler than any other video on youtube....

[transat236]

This reminds me of the Neo-Tokyo mod trailer, very well done indeed!

[Venominous]

This video right here? Legit as fuck. Usually I would try to be more eloquent in my comments but goddamn, this was amazing.

[AgentSmith700]

I can't find the dislike button.

[TenkanVlog]

VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY NICE!

You just gained my respect, due to your superb video editing and techniques!

You don't know how awesome I find this! :D

[ThePoetzy]

well mono monochromaticize me impressed.

[Shippoyasha]

Scary good. This is true art.

[Freezient]

ohmygosh! I can read Chinese

[theguywhoannoysme]

This is how we will remember their world.

Never forget.

[xengk]

waitaminute. the Chinese text in the video are all gibberish!

Still an awesome video though.

[GlowyPie]

@xengk It's written in English. It's just using a font that's made of Chinese letters which look a bit like basic Alphabet symbols. I'm sure you can easily decipher at least a few English words.

[xengk]

@GlowyPie

Ahhh... I get it know.

Each English Alphabet is represented by a single Chinese character.

However, the Chinese characters when put together as a sentence make no sense.

I was trying to read the Chinese sentence as a native speaker. lol

my bad.

[NEMISISISONCRACK]

Who else cried?

[rickneil01]

That was BRILLIANT!

[AgaiLazen]

Very nice!

[L96OZZ]

That...was awesome!!!! :D Totally made my day haha

[Haissan]

wow, excellent work, and I loved how you managed to make it look water color.

[funkybovinator]

hello neotokyo soundtrack

[Gamer4ever94]

How long did it take to make this video anyway?

[conner623]

My god....Holy hell that was amazing.

Everything was done to an amount with the slightest tinge of Eastern Culture that reminded me of Okami.

Plus Thanks for the subtitles, without them my ADHD would have been the death of me while watching this

[originalph00tbag]

I spent forever trying to decipher what was meant by the hanzismatter.

I suppose I fail for that.

[KeshiaRambles]

Great video, though the font was very hard to read and doesn't seem quite fitting for the setting of the show. Nice use of effects, too; I like the sketchbook aesthetic to it.

[lcubed69]

Why can't I hold all this win!?

[TerraHv1]

This is beautiful, and I LOVE this font.

[MrSomeeonee]

nice, well done! 

[garcia368]

Their Next Mission,

Destroy All Haters

[thentherewaslight]

My words... they have been stolen from me...

This... it is... Awesome.

[Strawhatfox]

That was amazing.

[2xN]

THIS

IS

AWESOME

[magmablock]

Wow, that was actually really cool.

[ZiozoneEmperor]

you could have slowed down on the descriptions...it got kind of tricky to read such fast subtitles...please take it as constructive criticism not a hate coment lol

[onepiecerevenge]

wow just wow

[MatvaNabor]

very well made!

[MrSpaceCatFromSpace]

I was expecting a Cthulhu mythos parody at first.

This is awesome non-the-less, and way better than expected.

[Br0nyBr4wL]

chiiiillllsssss brooooo

[scruffums123]

NeoTokyo trailer music :D

Also, neat video ;)

[mwgamera]

Good that subtitle was added, because this font is illegible at all. It does *too* good job on resembling the Chinese characters, in fact it uses few actual characters which makes it even harder to read if you know them. Nevertheless, the idea is amazing and I like it a lot. Flipping through the "bestiary" pages at the beginning could have been slower, though.

[SnivySolid]

This makes me thing of My Little Pony in the style of Okami. Can you imagine that? A game between a mixture of Harmony of Despair and Okami, where the Mane 6 find a book with all their stories, but now they must relive them (Okami-style) to prevent the history to change.

[dogman15]

Where can we download that font?

[Viperath]

That was amazing!

[SuperStitchesTim]

This is amazing.

[Ongarukat]

Excellent use of effects! I loved it.

[TheWeirdPlant]

The. Best. Possible. Thing.

[RavensDagger501]

That. Was. Awesome!

definatly one of the best PCM's I've seen so far. Incredible artwork as well.

[bieberle4]

cant read that font =(

[OmegaOzone]

@bieberle4 I added subtitles for those who don't want to decipher it. Enjoy :)

[GuyTakashi73]

well done :3

[DinosGoR4WR]

But I can't read it. :'I

[LimeyLassen]

I know awesome when I sees it.

[Scawking]

This would be a lot more awesome if not for the gay font.

[TThathund]

OMG! This was super epiiic<3 you need a brohoof /)

[Koopsas]

Holy fuuuuuck man, I didnt realise what song it was that I was listening to till 0:21 kicked in, but from that point onwards I fucking swear that my gob was on the floor in awe, words can scarcely begin to describe how happy I am to find out that someone PMV'ed such a great song in such a great way.

[lankygit101]

This is quite astonishing, it deserves way more views. Have you tried submitting it to EQD?

[TrueFireAnt]

Misspelling of 'weather' at the end of the Windigo page (0:36) and copied text on the Hydra page (0:39). Anyway, incredible job on this, took me while to actually read the text but it was definitely worth it. Thanks a whole lot for this

[OmegaOzone]

@TrueFireAnt Sorry about the repeated text. I added a translation text in the description which has a new decription for the Hydra. You can check it out there if you want to see what the Hydra is really all about. As for the video itself, you can just say the Hydra comes to life and attacks the ponies because he didn't get his own description :V

[TrueFireAnt]

@OmegaOzone lol, and YAY! :D Again, thanks a whole bunch for the amazing vid. It's already been posted on eqd too if you didn't already know :)

[DogPaws360]

This is a cool book

[itsaUSBline]

Holy jusus that's an awesome font D:

[VultureCulture2000X]

this was actually one of the most epic videos i've seen in my life so far.

[2007excalibur2007]

I wonder how long it's gonna take for Chinese bronies to realize that all those texts are actually in English...

[JustAnotherGuy350]

You know, this video must to too amazing for my computer to comprehend. The video, for me, is just a pink static screen, with the music involved.. HOW?!

Im just gonna go ahead and say its amazing, before I watch it properly.

[supermariofreak77]

That was awesome! Nice work dude.:D

[xSh0ckWaVe]

Epic doesn't even begin to describe this.

[Dannzio]

Ready? Ready doesn't even FUCKING DESCRIBE IT!!!!!!!

[Purerasslin]

Steven Magnet never looked so badass!

[44CAPSLOCK]

I love you. No really, I love you because of this video

[sabbathbloodoath98]

The thing that makes this beautiful? Opening up a whole new perception on a child's imagination, exploring the wonder within the confines of our own minds that's clouded by everyday lust, greed, and sorrow as we grow older and replacing it with the spiritual innocence that not only can lull us to sleep but rise us above the hardships of life with the most simplistic gesture of our species, a simple smile. Ah Lauren Faust you crazy bitch...

[TheAbelinc2]

"This is the world of Equestria, are you prepared?" um, yeah, Equestria is a country, not a planet, but other than that little error, this was a really great video!

[OmegaOzone]

@TheAbelinc2 Fixed and thanks for the kind comment :)

[1028sickdog]

If you will excuse I must leave to go to the hospital because my mind just imploded from the sheer amount of awesome. I bid you all a good day

[AlabamaSoldier]

I love the style and all, and this video is fantastic, but it's like really hard to read all of this.

Is there a regular English version or translation somewhere?

[njayhuang]

@AlabamaSoldier Done! pastebin(dot)com/UrsRh2tk

[DJGaugen]

Took me a second to realize everything was in English. XD

[BrawlerGamma]

@DJGaugen Incredibly hard to read sort-of english.

[cooljunkproductions]

@DJGaugen holy shit. the text is in some sort of pseudo Chinese font. fucking awesome

[LawlKannon]

Y U NO MAKE IT ACTUAL BOOK? *morphs into Fluttershy* I-If it wouldnt be too much trouble

[starfalco13]

This looks like it would have been as an extended promo for the show

[ubrnoobr]

@SgtScrubnoob Have you ever used a video editing program other than windows movie maker? xD

And don't use all caps in a comment if you're just asking a question. Won't help anything.

[darkwingVII]

@ubrnoobr Didn't you know? It's the traditional royal Canterlot caps-lock voice. But, yes very annoying.

[SgtScrubnoob]

HOW DID YOU DO THAT VISUAL EFFECT THAT MADE IT ALL APPEAR LIKE IT WAS IN A BOOK

[ThriceTroll]

@SgtScrubnoob Print out millions of pictures of MLP.

Cum on them.

[cooljunkproductions]

@SgtScrubnoob I think it may be a photoshop filter. i've seen a very similar, if not that effect exactly within the photoshop filters.

[FlCl3000]

sending to EqD also



[mtalsonic3000]

How to train your pony. Coming never to theaters

[BlackRoseKuro]

This is just...

Wow...

[Frozenflutter]

woah

[OmegaOzone]

@THEfullEntertainer Thanks. It was my intention to make it secret but fun :D

[THEfullEntertainer]

At first I was like, "Dang, I wish I could read that language," but then I was like, "Oh. The different characters are placed to look like English words. The creature's descriptions are in English. "

I feel silly. That's a cool way to write about the mythical creatures though! I love your ideas.

[Kile1592]

You submitted this to EQD already, right? Cause you KNOW it's good enough to get there.
