  • I cried/came/killed a small child to this video. Please make make more.

  • I did't think the humans looked right. They were clean and well dressed. They need to look more dirty, hungry, and scared. Les Miserable. 

  • anybody else notice KarmaKimmy's sprite at 3:08

  • KEEP IT UP WOOOOOOO

  • Ive got to say, i loved the video you did for "Unrest in the House of Light" its actually the reason i listen to the Protomen at all. But this video is pretty weak, your addition of the Flash animation really took me out of it and i felt what made good the previous video has all been all but removed.

  • man you have to do the stand

  • Awesome! Are you gonna do Vengeance and the The Stand? (I so want to see The Stand)

  • Hope rides alone.

  • mute this video and pause it at 2:18. go to youtube.com/watch?v=_Vj092UgKw­Q and start the video at 0:31, then unpause this video.

  • @moneydude496 that link leads no where

  • @trunolimit wow, that's weird. It's supposed to be the video "Stayin' Alive - Bee Gees (lyrics) "

  • What is with the quality?

  • but if i staaaaaaaaaaay here with you, then i will leave them to their doom! love this song its so epic

  • QUALITY!

    NOPE.

  • :D

  • This is awesome!

  • ok im confused, was protoman a good guy?

  • @burnsy96 Yes at first. but after humanity let him come to near death rather than standing by his side and fighting for their freedom he became jaded and stood alongside Wiley and his evil robots. Turning his back on the people he was sworn to protect only because in his time of need they turned they're backs on him.

  • @DjLuna6 ah cool, thanks

  • how does he know where the gravestone is?

  • @Wanderingsage7 Everyone knows where the gravestone is. Its a monument of humanities failures. Wiley left it there so that the Cities people remember that there one Hope "died" miserably and to put they're Hope/Faith in him. Not to mention Doctor Light told the story a thousand times :)

  • The crowd chanting always gets me. It's a shame they don't follow through.

  • @smnoy23 It's actually the evil robots chanting that, the animator here seemed to miss that.

  • @Cthulhupunk No actually it is the people. It started as the robots those speakers are the ones that originally say it and then the people turn the message around to speak for themselves. The song is called the Will of one but it shows how the will of one person can change many. The people saying it are the same ones grouped around him in the last song telling him to kill Protoman. Which makes him realize he inspired them but they still don't get it.

  • @MrChaosdirge I like this reply. good insight.

  • @smnoy23 Which is why I want a third act out soon .XD

  • As a long-time Mega-Fan, that is easily one of the most inspiring videos I've ever seen. A worthy reminder that all evil needs to triumph is for the good to do nothing, and all it needs to fall is for the good to rise up.

  • Simply badass. Nuff said.

  • "the problem with you rock, is that you care for the human scum to much to give them and wily what they truly deserve. but maybe that is your redeeming quality as well."

  • Vengeance must be made... This vid is bad ass you're doing a great job. Please by all things awesome continue!

  • Is it just me or does he walk life he's holding a rifle at the end?

  • Ohmegoodness! You need to do all the songs!!!

  • Make more! These are terrific! (plz!)

  • "Even here it is not safe. Even this grave has been defaced. Someone has written on this stone, in some angry hand, 'Hope rides....

    ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL­LLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEE'!"

    Love that part!

  • long live protoman

  • @westerfield7: crowds form in Protomen songs like, five times per album. XD

    In Act II, the extra narration talks about how the robots took pretty much all of the human jobs as the first stage of Wily's takeover. I could believe that people who have nothing to do all the time would just follow something interesting. It reinforces that the overwhelming majority of people in the Protomen's universe are content to be sheep.

  • @assamurai Isn't that true about the majority of humanity? I hate to sound like some teen know it all, but most people would rather avoid conflict and rocking the boat rather than stand up and fight oppression. (myself included, I'm just sitting here commenting on it and not doing anything). But my point is that most people are sheep.

  • @ObliqueIlluminations The even worse thing is that when people do finally stand up they end up fighting FOR oppression rather than against it. Just like "Give Us the Rope" in act II they thought they were doing the right thing. Is inaction as bad as unwittingly taking part?

  • @ObliqueIlluminations It depends on what you feel.

    Wily himself says," If you're the ones making the wheels move, the people will FOLLOW."

    The point here is, what DO you do to make change? Just a little bit helps, just a little acknowledgement that the world needs help, and HOPE can still remain.

    This is a message from the Light Brigade, and The Resistance. JOIN THE PROTOMEN! FIGHT AGAINST THE TYRANNY OF WILY! Thank you for your time.

  • LOL

    

  • lol i dont know whose the troll in the bottom comments XD

  • Hey, look its a singing blue robot, lets follow it.

    This probaly wouldnt even make sense if the world was conquered by machines and ruled by an evil german.

  • @westerfield7 Except by the fact this is a Rock-opera....

  • @mgs29 no, this is a video using game sprites to make a music video.

  • @westerfield7 So what, I was sayng that The protomen are a rock opera band

  • @mgs29 no, technically you said this video was rock opera, if you had said the protomen were a rock opera band(like you just said but earlier) then that would be true.

  • @westerfield7 I was just tryng to say that , the fact of a robot singing and all of that Dont make sense in a normal context( lets say a megaman game) but in a rock opera setting (like the album where this song is taken from) it does =) but yeah, I get your point.

  • @mgs29 besides, my original comment was intended as joke.

  • @westerfield7 Its ok, I wasnt tryng to start i fight or anything like that either =)

  • for the love of god, and the honour of the protomen, please, PLEASE redo the flash with better quality audio! It is such a pity!

  • Awesome.

  • And I will finish What was started.

    THE FIGHT OF PROOOOOOTTTTOOOOMMMMMMMMAAAAAA­ANNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!

  • 1:08 Blonde guy thinking "Oh shit, there are singing robots now. We are so screwed."

  • I wanna see Vengeance in all its glory. :3

  • Did anybody catch bits of Funeral For a Son in this song?

  • @ShadowFX Yes yes i did

  • Epic music!

  • The quality of the music on this video is really poor

  • shut up fag

  • OMFG I LOVE PROTOMEN MAKE MORE MUSIC GOD HELP THEM MAKE MORE MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • hope rides alone do not follow it do not chase it do not follow it for this will only lead you to you own self demise.

  • Increible, hasta lagrimas se me salen.

  • Reads description: ooo nougat

  • HOPE RIDES ALONE!

  • ♫♪we have control♪♫ we keep you safe♪♫we are your hope♪♫

  • Holy shit, you rock <3

  • Great job!!

  • good job.

  • Everyone sure dresses trendy in this post-apocalyptic society.

  • @TheJoebucks Hey just because the city is in ruins doesn't give the peole an excuse for having a bad fashion sense.

  • Moar! PLEASE GOD MOAR!

  • 2:08 I got chills.

  • So where do we find the chip tune closing track? I'll buy that too, if I can.

  • @vtnwesley

    The chiptune track, as stated in the closing credits, is The Will of One Byte by Make-up and Vanity Set. They did an entire album of Protomen chiptunes. You cna easily find it on itunes.

  • Curious. What does it say on the grave?. Other than "Hope Rides Alone", that is.

    Awesome video, by the way.

  • @ggblob

    Its Dr. Light's Lyrics from the song:

    "You have heard me tell this story many times before you sleep.

    No matter how dark this city gets, even now, there is hope for man."

  • I just saw the Protemen live (March 6, Glasslands in Brooklyn) and they were mind-blowing. My arm hurts like hell now! Worth it, though.

  • Oh, please lead this into Vengeance.

    If this was how the actual Megaman game cut-scenes went, it would have been my favorite game. Fabulous work.

  • I love this video so much... well done!!! :D

  • Nice I hope you do one for vengeance that be sick

  • Megaman failed to destroy the evil he fought against in the end he dies by his own buster gun in the end he was destined for time loop suicide not martyrdom.

  • awsome. did u make this?

  • Aren't the robots supposed to be saying "We are control. We keep you safe."?

  • so freakin awesome!!!

  • Wow... that was friggin' cool!

  • I added this to my playlist and favorites because i find this a talented well made video. cherish it

  • Do you plan on doing "The Stand (Man or Machine)"? I would really like it if you did.

  • @ZZl3ZZ we all personally would like to see her do the whole album

  • Hope Rides Alone.

    First the Proto.

    Now the O-Mega.

  • Gradients are not and never have been an acceptable substitute for proper shading.

  • You should really do the entire album since these first 2 are very very good keep up the stupendous work!!!!

  • There wont be a video for Vengeance will there?

  • This video makes me smile :)

  • this is the most awesome music video of all time

  • @vx3proteus actually, if you look up the lyrics/background info for the song, the crowd does chant that part.

  • I am a Protofan, and I approve this video.

  • wtf... is this? i mean i really like the protomen, but the animation here is kinda misplaced. megaman is saying things that should have been said by dr light, and why the fuck would the croud be yelling that call? it would make a lot more sense for megaman to be taking down a robot patrol yelling that stuff. the people' are the dead' as they cry out in the later songs. in the end of the album megaman decides not to save them because they are weak faggots!

  • i wanna see zero in this univers (yes i no it cant be done)

  • @SHADOWBATKILLER

    Talking fail.

  • awsome vid keep it comin!

  • This is so fucking awesome. Bravo man! Bravo! Please do some for Act II!

  • Great vid can't wait for more of them!

  • I don't know why I haven't favorited these a long time ago... It's not like we talk on Twitter all the time or anything. =P (mlsterben, by the way)

  • still waiting for number 3. Hope to see it Kimmy

  • for some reason when they were chanting I heard " we go egg rolls"

  • HOPE

  • @scilonthreat RIDES

  • @scilonthreat rides alone......

  • @Paradoxman92 hope rides alone....

  • Well done! Regarding the anime: Not bad per se, simply jarring going from style to the next. That aside; SUPERLATIVE work. Excellent.

    Do you have a video for Vengeance?

  • Very nicely done for both of them! I think the drawn part shows Mega Man's facial expressions more then a sprite would do

  • Finally a new video. Love it <3

  • so, this is basically what would have happened if Orwell had been in charge of writing the Megaman games?

  • 196 people were Megaman's hope 6 people couldn't understand the truth of megaman's amazing lyrics.

  • When they performed about two years ago at MAGFest, they acted out this whole thing on stage. I'm pretty sure Mega Man and Protoman just talked and Proto tried to convince him it was useless to save the people who don't fight for themselves and would rather die than watch his brother do something as futile as that, so he took Mega Man's blaster and held it against himself while Mega Man shot him.

  • You Protomen videos are AWESOME! I discovered them through your videos and immediately bought both the albums! Thank you and I hope we'll see more from you :) BTW the non-sprite style stuff was pretty good as well!

  • You Protomen videos are AWESOME! I discovered them through your videos and immediately bought both the albums! Thank you and I hope we'll see more from you :)

  • I like the ones people did with casshern, but need one for The Stand despirately.

  • WE HAVE CONTROL

    WE KEEP YOU SAFE

    WE ARE YOUR HOPE

  • vengeance vengeance vengeance!!!!! do a video for vengeance :3333

  • Yo Kimmy, when you gonna finish the vids man?

    No one captures the visuals of the songs like you do.

  • do more videos!!!!! xDDDDDDD pls

  • i wouldn't have got the megaman metaphors if not for this video

  • So... When are you doing Vengeance?

  • Nice. Truly hope you try your hand at the rest of the tracks.

  • the volume wont go high enough to listen to this or any of the Protomen songs!

  • This is freakin awesome. You did a really great job with both these videos. I hope you do more!

  • More!

  • Ummm yeah I'm pretty sure you should make videos for ALL the songs.

    Even their Beards Going Nowhere song.

  • This. Is. SICK! gr8 job

  • I have to say the anime part is a good idea, i mean if i were going to build a robot that could overthrow an evil regime then i would want it to be able to blend in so i would not make it a midget dressed in blue i would make it look human so no one would know the truth, its brilliant

  • @deathman1021 well, megaman in the games wasn't intended to be a battle robot originally according to megaman wikia, which explains it. It doesn't, however, explain why Light's first impulse when building robots is to build them with the body of kindergartners(Rockman, roll, protoman, ect...)

  • @ZKoftherebellion Its because they were meant to be domestic robots, and then Rock, soon to be megaman, or rockman in the japanese version, offerd to be converted into a battle robot in order to help people

  • @deathman1021 still, your first impulse when designing "domestic robots" shouldn't be to build robots with the bodies of kinder-gardeners. Light had issues, methinks.

  • You should make more of these videos they are really good.

  • awesome video! i love it^^ fits extremely well into the song!

  • @SoupMan2312

    You realize, of course, that this song is BASED on a video game...

    Right?

    Cuz i get the feeling you're a little in the dark about this.

    Or maybe you're just a troll.

  • @killerkirbydude he is just a troll, it is rather obvious

  • I simply have no words for that!

    Amazing,as the very concept of The Protomen! ^^

  • this is awesome...were is Vengeance?!

  • I'd love to see you tackle Act 2. I imagine it as drastically different from this- a neon, colourful, oppressive city, that at night goes pitch black.

  • I have a feeling youre not an obama supporter....

    cool vid by the way

  • @alBoorack

    Obama = Wily?

    Hell yes. Wily stands for any dictator, left or right, white or black.

    And they'll take it all away if you sit and let them.

    That's the message behind this song and the entire Protomen repetoire.

    And if you deny this...

    You do no better than the fools of this BUUURNING CIIIITAY!!!

  • @killerkirbydude I wont take your rights away....

    I swear....

    VOTE FOR ME !!

  • @killerkirbydude ...are you really saying they wrote this with the intention of implying Obama is wily, and not really about megamen?

    JUST WHEN I THOUGHT THE GOP COULDN'T GET ANY DUMBER

  • @ZKoftherebellion

    And the Demoncrats STILL haven't learned to read, evidently.

    Here's the WHOLE thing: Wily is an analogy for any dictator, and Obama is certainly going on the Commie road. And in case you couldn't read those history books, that ALWAYS ends up with human greed taking over and the people in power exploiing the masses. I say we need a sixth guaranteed freedom, as well as the Five Freedoms of Speech, Faith, Assembly, Press, and Government: Economic freedom as well.

  • @killerkirbydude >GOP calls him commie

    >GOP simutaniously claims he's only interested in wall streets interests

    >Communism=regulation=shit wallstreet wouldn't want

    >their base eats the contradiction up anyways

  • @killerkirbydude You're fucking retarded. I'm not arguing anything with you, I just wanted you to know that.

  • @PerfectChaosZeta It's ok, I wasn't talking to you anyway. And I'm not with the GOP. They're just as corrupt. No, I'm an anti-communist anarchist. Just so y'all know.

  • @killerkirbydude Uh uh. Like I said, you're fucking retarded.

  • @PerfectChaosZeta

    So, that's your response to EVERYTHING? "You're retarded. You're retarded." Is that all you know? Well, that's ok. Everyone has problems. Yours are just much worse.

  • @killerkirbydude Actually, my only problem is that you're retarded. It's not that bad of a problem really.

  • @killerkirbydude

    Obama isnt going on any road, shut up. if anything, he's just following Grants example as a shitty president.

    also, Dictatorship = Far Left, Fascist state = Far Right. no matter which "group" you belong in, you can both get equally fucked in the end.

  • @ThingxHulk

    Well, not all far-right autocracies are Fascist; most are, but not all. That's mostly irrelevant, though; the point is that Obama's the most radical Communist to be elected to office since FDR.

  • @killerkirbydude

    okay. does that mean that Obama will end this recession much like FDR did? no, it doesnt. dont go and judge someones policies by comparing them to someone far, far greater. FDR was the last great Democrat, and he got shit done and you fucking know it. shame that we havent had a good president since.

  • @ThingxHulk

    I often wonder what this country, and indeed the world, would look like if FDR hadn't died.

    (All I can think of is a hammer and a sickle...)

    But, yeah, Obama's the worst president ever. He never even served in the military. That should be a requirement; if you're going to be in charge of the ENTIRE US MILITARY, you should have at least been in like the civil air patrol or boy scouts or SOMETHING.

  • @killerkirbydude

    All that serves to do is to create a President with a bias toward the military. If we ever want to break the grip that the military industrial complex has on Congress, we need an unaffiliated President.

    Too bad Obama isn't good enough. Hell, he lied his way into office (went back on everything he said; we have more troops than ever in Afghanistan now) and is acting just like a Republican. The two-party system is destroying this country.

  • @MacerXGP

    There's a point we can agree on. If I had MY way, there'd be at LEAST six or seven major parties. That would probably help.... at LEAST a little.

  • @StarMario777 I'm not the biggest Mega Man lore fan . But i thought X WAS Mega Man , just frozen in time . Like Zero .

  • The Stand and The Sons of Fate would no doubt be wonderful. I can wait for those ^^

    In the mean time I'll enjoy this and the Unrest one! ^O^

    WE ARE YOUR HOPE!

    WE HAVE CONTROL!

    WE KEEP YOU SAFE!

  • Nice job on the flash man, also really enjoyed the original artwork, you have some nice artistic talent and I hope to see more of it.

  • why do i get the feeling that this song has more to do than mega man like in real life the government has control over everything & want us to obey & not question

    "don't say this is how it has to be"

  • I would LOVE to see more.

    I'm just getting into the band for the first time, and they're pretty good.

  • I've watched this thing probly 40 or 50 times. I still get a little teary eyed when he's standing at the grave reading his big brother's headstone, I can see alot of things in that shot, the sadness in his eyes, fury in his movements, Revenge in his stance, just to name a few, and thats just him. The enviornment and people are a whole other list all together.

  • lol I like how you integrated the Make up and Vanity Set version of this in the credits.

  • @VegetaAlex Well, they've got The Gambler for women's vocals (she did Emily and the female chorus in Act II), but I somehow doubt the Protomen will introduce Roll to their canon. They have flat out said that there is no way they will ever use Bass, haha. ;)

  • @KarmaKimmy7 Eh, I dunno, never say never. :)

  • @VegetaAlex are you high? read the story they have for it.

  • @VegetaAlex

    Not going to happen man the band said they hated bass
