1)) Gods’ School
Do you like Greek Mythology? Do you like drama? Then you would probably love Gods’ School! Indie French Artist, Gaylord, has been working on this series for 7 years! Incredible animation, interesting spins on mythology, and fun voice acting. The only downside is how infrequent the uploads are :(
2)) Pretty Pretty Please I Don’t Want To Be A Magical Girl
Are you a magical girl enjoyer? Or do you hate magical girls? Either way, you will love this pilot! Aika is a magical girl who has grown to hate her job. With just a pilot out, it is hilarious with beautiful art and incredible cast of voice actors
3)) My Pride
An incredible show! Sadly, today (Feb 28) marks the 4 year anniversary of since it’s gone on hiatus. But meet Nothing, the outcast in her lion pride, as she has to fight against the ableism and discrimination she faces while also getting tied up in godly affairs and lions from the outside of her pride
4)) Persona Project
This one is a bit more.. unique. Created by PetPyves, a veteran of indie animation. This is how I found their content, but Persona Project is extremely unique, as it tells the story of the animator PetPyves, Hawley, and them working through their trauma by personifying different phases of their life into characters, or personas. All animated, voice acted, and directed by Hawley, and with frequent uploads, it is incredible and a beautiful project I feel like everyone should check it out. So much respect to Hawley for telling their story and for this incredible animation. Treat this project with extreme respect and care, as Hawley is putting their heart into this and has already had to deal with people being disrespectful, sadly. (Here’s a set of ground rules and boundaries they’ve set, if you want to check it out)
5)) Chikn Nuggit
A silly series of shorts telling the everyday stories of Chikn and his other food-based animal friends. Surely, there’s nothing sinister going on.. right?
6)) Epic the Musical: concept album
Another mythology based thing! While not animated like the other things above, there are many small time artists doing incredible animatics for this indie project! A musical telling the story of The Odyssey!
7)) Theratpy
There is sadly not much out for this one, but I still love it! It follows Ratticus, a rat with anger issues and intrusive thoughts, going to therapy sessions with Dr. Zoro. It’s simple, but it makes me happy. It reminds me of Good Will Hunting, which will always be a plus in my book!
I may do a part 2 if I end up finding more indie projects that I love. I just wanted to share. Check these out and support indie creators and artists!
