Furina vs Nahida: Trial of Archons [HoYoFair Cut] | Genshin Animated Short

LET'S GOOOOOOOO This was my first time working as a storyboard artist and it was so surreal to see my hilariously badly animated 'storyboards' get turned into works of art by the animators Quack and Suji! Glad to see so many ppl enjoy this 😭 Also I got to animate one single shot and it's the Venti flashback at 2:20. Subu liked how I animated him in the storyboard and was like 'hey wanna animate this?' and i was like 'A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one' fun fact: the 'ahem' at 1:49 wasn't in the script. Ariana (furina's VA) actually coughed in the recording but didnt remove it from the audio file. I heard it and was like 'hehe im gonna do a funny' and put it into the storyboard as a joke. i didnt expect it to make it to the final product LMA

As soon as Nahida whipped out those 'person', 'weapon' and 'location' cards - I just knew the twist would be they were playing Cluedo the whole time. Well done!

Nahida:Hey Furina. I'm the god of wisdom. Remember? I can solve a crime easy Furina:Oh god-

The archons coming together for a monthly game of whodunnit as an actual mock-trial with an audience and everything is such a damn cute story concept. Props to the storyboard writer.

2:31 Ei just thinking. "I dont think Venti was sober enough to even do that in the party."

During Lyney's trial, I remember thinking, "If Nahida was Lyney's prosector, the trial would've ended within a minute 😂😂"

I feel like this is an unofficial homage to the Genshin VA Among Us games in a way. I laughed so much throughout the whole short. Amazing job, everyone!

The battle between furina and nahida that we've been waiting for so long has finally arrived and I have to admit that it's both a bit tense and very funny, the voice acting is very stable and the animation is harmonious, that alone is more than enough to see how interesting this video is

2:31 i like how ei is just scratching her head, clueless and confused 😂

Damn, Ariana Rosario is good at voicing Furina. Also, really good animation. Very well made.

4:20 dear God, that Scream was immaculately made, i truly felt the distress in furina's voice!

Thank you again for trusting me with the casting process 💗 I always love it when the actors I picked out get a chance to shine, especially in a project as polished yet filled with good-hearted fun as this!

I mean, you’re challenging a literal god of wisdom. Nahida is basically Sherlock Holmes.

That was way too cute. Neuvillette treating it seriously the whole time, what a sweet goober, look at him learning how to play. Furina being 120% about everything. And Zhongli at the end was perfect. <3

I love Ei's expression at 2:30, her face was like, huh did I leave the stove on at home

The humor, the animation, and the plot twist with plot twist, the VOICE ACTORS are all PERFECT. This is really one of my favorite Hoyofair videos

1:46 bro in the back was flabbergasted. love it!

Was expecting Nahida to say "Madame Quaso" . Anyways, I really loved all your animations and the voice acting is on point.

Plot Twist: This all started because Venti ate the last pudding in Furina’s fridge.

I love Furina being a drama queen here. 😂Just fits her role so much.
