One hour ago???? What? I am lucky
Great. There was another way after all Better this than what happend to twelve forever
5 years and it has finally been made a web comic. YAY
I had no idea it was a webtoon! Thanks so much for letting us know, I'll be sure to read it! (Seriously this is really exciting XD)
@@pizzawithcheese1947 - Even better, it's *in print* now! The books feel so neat to hold! After years of pitching and putting out web comic pages, it's so incredibly rewarding to have something to hold in our hands -- and that others can hold in their hands. We hope you enjoy it 💜👻💜
I love how all the ghosts seem like they're from different centuries.
Ginger bearded guy with rifle- 1800's? Guy in suit and tie - 1950's Ginger girl - 1950's Dimitri - 1930 - 40's Lady with black hat - 1920's These are just my estimation, correct me if I'm wrong
soda piss Read the captions for the names
Well...because they are? Well more like decades to be exact. It wasn't that long ago before we had cell phones and internet.
... they are
The lady with the black hat is from the Victorian / Edwardian era. Her manners also express the time instead of the 20s which we stereotype as more loose fitting.
"She is different and I don't know her. This frightens and scares me." I burst out laughing on that line.

June: I see dead people and people think I’m a freak. Norman: You’ll get used to it.
Cole: I second that.

This show has so much potential and is full of iconic characters. I like how the teacher treats history class like gym class, Blatsy is so wholesome and definitely doesn’t deserve the extreme bullying he gets at school (who’s with me on going to that school to make the bully leave him alone) and ghosts, don’t even get me started on the ghosts.
💜💜👻Thank you thank you thank you! We're so glad you like it! Until we get the show picked up and animated, we're continuing to tell the story as comics. There are 6 comic episodes online now, on WebToon! Here's the link! www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/obituary-episodes/list?title_no=335715
The ghosts are there all the time Apparently some don’t see them
I could hang out with the ghosts, they seem like a pretty lively bunch!
When June and the ghosts took the first picture, I expected it to turn out haunted or something. When it showed her alone, I thought she was crazy and the ghosts were imaginary. And I still think so. That would be a dramatic twist.

That made guilt on us for laugh

Instead of just having a long mystery arc about who were her parents and how they died, they just straight-up kill them off like it was nothing. Lol!
Man I wish they made this into a cartoon series I would love to watch this
"What, is that some overly sentimental necklace from your dead parents." "That's oddly specific"
She killed them
and yes

would have said " yes actually, so how about you let me keep it?"

We can only hope now ....3 years is a long time but with animation it would make sense. The only thing is the last video was like a year ago and you'd think something would update us .
WELL DON"T SPOIL IT. F*CK.
It started off SO much like a Disney movie, the parents are like, we won't die, then die.
nvm, this ENTIRE video is a Disney movie. 1.dead parents✔ 2.missunderstood✔ 3.bullied by richest person✔

Twinkie Queen true
That's not funny.

This pilot stuck in my head for years, to the point ehere when I saw The Ghost and Molly McGee come out, I assumed Disney had finally picked up the show (I'd forgotten its name and the protagonist's name). I'm so glad that it's finally being told as a webtoon.
Thank you! We pitched to Disney when The Ghost and Molly McGee had been announced. If timing had been different, we might have been a Disney show; but we understand Disney already had something similar in the works. We're so glad you found the WebToon :)
Same!

Can we just appreciate the voice acting in this, and the animation? This is by far my favorite cartoon.
It’s been 7 years and I still didn’t give up hope
Netflix, are you seeing this?!
Netflix : *Y E S* but........we are Netflix so if this was a movie we would make a cartoon that is cringe you know captain underpants well we ruined it by making it a show

"Shut up, Violet" (Heathers flashbacks)
"shut up Heather" "Sorry Heather"
OMG YES
Xd
I thought the same thing Xd
I felt personally attacked
7 years, and still waiting for more!
It’s been six years since this came out. I wish this had became a real show. This has incredible potential and it’s a shame that nothing came from it. I love this. Six years too late
It’s a webcomic
"Shut up Violet" "Shut up Heather" Bahahahahdbfhs

That's what I thought
Bro thats what I thought too!
My name is violet...
GoLickAPineapple Literally me
Shet up Meg!
It’s been five years to date since this came out, I’m still waiting for a series.
Making this into a full animated series is and has always been our dream for the show! 💜 However, until the show is picked up by an animation studio, we've continued telling the story as a COMIC series -- there are 6 whole comic episodes available to read on WebToon: www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/obituary-episodes/list?title_no=335715 -- you can think of them as a prelude to the full animated series later. We really hope you like them! With just 2 of us making this entire thing, it's the most we can do with the resources we have.
@@obituarythecartoonseries820 why not show this to cartoon network or some other channel like Disney or some other channel
@@theloudstarkirby4203 When we pitched the series to Cartoon Network and Disney, back in 2016 and 2017, they both chose to pass on the series, unfortunately. It wasn't the right time for either of the studios -- Disney, especially, because they already had "The Ghost and Molly McGee" in concept at the time, which they thought would be too similar a show to our concept. We are hopeful that we will be picked up in the future, though -- either by those studios or another. The best way fans can help is by spreading the media we do have the resources to produce (this pilot, and all the comic episodes) as far and wide as you can. The more networks see the demand for this show from fans like you, the stronger a case we can make to them.
@@obituarythecartoonseries820 okay sounds interesting. Have you see come and learn with me pibby on adult swim iys very good

“Oh those are fightin words, June get your pistol.”😂😂
Am I the only one wondering if she actually had a pistol with her?
**pumped up kicks plays in the distance**
Joe Crouse I like to believe he gave her one at some point lol
“All the other kids...”
With their pumped up kicks
2:10 “She’s different and I don’t know her, that frightens and upsets me” This made me laugh harder then it should’ve
“June, get your pistol” *(All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you better run, better run, faster than my bullet)*
Exoskel Nice
Dems is fightin words
Today we had a lock down cuz someone said they had a gun and my friend sent me a link to pumped up kicks

You better run better run faster than my gun
"She's new and I don't know her. This upsets me." - Literally everyone in highschool, from the dawn of time to 2018.
I can't wait, actually. I'm honestly disturbed by the fact nobody regards me as an outcast yet.
*me when I hear that* MMM BOI I JUST WALKED IN TO NOT HEAR YOUR LIFE STORY
Finn Daly Yep. xD
Charlotte T oh great I get to go to highschool this year
I came here because the art style reminded me of hilda, but now I want a full series with 3 seasons, a backstory for every ghost AND a reason to why her parents aren't in the group of ghosts ! ! ! (also comedy gold! *Chef's kiss*)
💜👻💜 Thank you! We're so delighted! Until we can afford to get the rest animated, or get picked up by a studio, you can continue the story as the comic! There are 8 comic episodes out you can read right now online for free -- and the first 6 are available in a comic book you can order from our store :) The comic also includes a few extra comics, adapted from our "Mortuary Mail" series and "O-Bit", which are minis :)
This NEEDS to be a show. I'd watch the hell out of this. All episodes, on a binge night, with nothing but the spookiest of lighting on spooky month.

This was well done but damn I have seen this plot so many times before. Protagonist with something unique about them goes to HS where either A(girl) get bullied by the "mean" girls or B(boy) gets bullied by the jocks due to them finding them weird and later becoming close friends with a kid who is also in the same boat and/or is a social outcast just like the protagonist. I'm sure many movies/shows come to mind when this is read.
"Will you and Mom die?" "Well yes, but, that won't be for a long, long..." That's what's known as tempting fate!

@Aaron Murray I was about to disagree, but then I had an existential crisis realising that you might be right...

7 years later and its still entertaining to watch
It’s insane how invested I am in this after just nine minutes! All the characters are fun and dynamic, the voice acting and animation is beautiful, the plot is delightful, dang i hope this gets a full show someday!

“We’ll be sure to be the flowers on her grave” Left me speechless
That took a dark turn and it wasn't even a full minute.
wait why can't she see her parents if they're dead
I guess not all people become ghosts since it usually involves some unfinished business. But then again they could've had that, who knows
@@josantiago3652 i think raising their kids counts as unfinished buisness
abjaaksm oh dang you’re right-
Maybe if it ever gets picked up for a series the question of June’s parents will be an important plot arc
But as u can see all the gousts are from the past so maybe those gousts finished there bisnis in hell or heven

SHE AIMS HER PISTOL AT THE SKY! oh oh srry
This needs to get picked up because it's freakin' amazing!!! And the timing for a show like this is absolutely perfect right now!
Looks like I still remember this after all these years.
When the kid saw the ghosts I genuinely thought he was gonna have a heart attack and die and become another ghost friend
Thats.. actually a good plot
The other kids would probably rumor that she killed him.
@@Klabbity_Kloots Yeah....

" she's different and I don't like her , that frightens and upsets me" Racism, bullying, homophobia and xenophobia in a nutshell.
As well as homophobia and transphobia.

Indiana Jones yeah basically, or i guess world history in a nutshell
It has been 7 years :< I'm still waiting
Love it! The characters and animation are spectacular, and the fact that only June (and others, conditionally) can talk to the ghosts sets up lots of conflict.
Damn it I didn’t get my prison self defense credit before I graduated.
You've gotta take it early, so you don't have to worry about it later on… t's one of those
If only prison self-Defense was an actual subject in school
In my school, it was a teach-it-yourself degree. if you didn't, you'd get robbed, beat up, or... nevermind
Kid: **walks down the road with June** June: *I will die for you*
Underrated comment
Who wouldn’t, he’s a such a good kid
I mean I would to
and considering in the comic ghosts can actually posses people, and the processed people dont know when or what happened during the possession, and even in this video ghosts can actually interact with the physical world even death wont stop her from protecting him. also since he can see dead people too they wont even leave eachother.
7 years later, this still hits the same as all those years ago..
This video started with a "what the f*ck" and I'm here for it.
“And I’ve been 15 since 1959” I would love to know the reason-
Communists
Drugs
Choking on a vegetable.

Cause she's dead duh
I want this to be a real show

D u h
She is a demon like athor girls they life ruining
She’s never had anybody be genuine with her, she has never had healthy boundaries because she’s been given everything, and June gives some semblance of reality and meaning to her otherwise unsatisfying unauthentic existence. She can’t process June in a healthy fashion, and the only way she can be sure someone is authentic is by being a villain to them. If someone is openly against you, at least you know they’re being real.

This is so unique! I love the concept and characters.
“Oh those are fighting words. June, get your pistol.” By far the one joke that had me laughing the most. This is such an interesting concept for a show, and I feel like anyone would want to see more of it.
"Oh, those are fightin' words! June, get your pistol." Breaking News: Teen starts shooting because ghost of the man the school was named after told her to.
That's the definition of "the voices told me to" 😂
Nah it would go like “June, 15, starts school shooting. 3 dead, 15 injured. Police say it was due to a spirit telling jun to do so”
4/20/1999.
Please don’t joke about school shootings..
Oh people will say OMG ShES REALLY IS A WiTCH
"she's different and I don't know her, that frightens and upsets me" That one sentence practically explains everyone on Earth. Just like if aliens came to earth.
Yeah, It was funny.
The guy who said that has conditions.
Help me become a big youtuber. SUBSCRIBE TODAY.
but still that comment basically describes white person history just replace she with they and her with them and it will basically be the same, and for all other races (specifically the ones white people have screwed over in the past) just put the sentence, "These white people are dangerous."
It doesn’t really matter whether they are black white aliens or anything else I think people will always say that. They always have and always will.
