This is absolutely fantastic! Great writing, well developed characters; I'm emotionally involved already! Definitely keep making more. :)
I can only imagine what the quality of this series would achieve if it was partnered with Glitched Productions.
From the looks of this, every penny well spent. Bunch of talented animators and storytellers. Thoroughly enjoyed it...subscribed. PS extra love to the lighting department, the lighting is gorgeous.
Nice job on the animation
Is this all students from animschool doing this series?
Ladies and gentlemen. We are witnessing the start of a new age....The age of indie animation!
this show is better than the others that have a toxic fandom annoying and cringy.
Thank you!
@@mechwestshow don't worry
Pixar called, They want their entire staff back. Seriously, that's how good this looks. Keep up the amazing work! Animation is amazing and I hope you never stop the great work.
😆😆😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😆😆🤣🤣👌👍
The fact that this is disney quality animation FOR FREE really blows my mind- Every single moment is in high detail and nothing looks choppy. REALLY DESERVES MORE LOVE AND ATTENTION THAN WHAT ITS GETTING
Thank you! We need fan support to make Ep2 happen: www.kickstarter.com/projects/mechwestshow/mechwest-show Or if you can't, please help spread the word about the show!
Red shirt dude is giving Wreck It Ralph
Yeah. I thought he was gonna be like the narcissist from Beauty and the beast given how he was introduced but the moment Pearl laughed at his small joke I knew they were on good terms and he wasn’t like that. 😂
The animation is one of the strong points of this series, immersing us in a rich and fascinating Disney-style universe! Character movements are fluid and realistic, facial expressions are nuanced and expressive, and colors are harmonious and contrasting. Each scene is a feast for the eyes, taking us on a journey. This series clearly demonstrates great artistic and technical talent, and honestly deserves a massive audience!
Thank you very much!
Good to see indie shows thriving.
Yes!!
The Indie takeover has cometh!

This decade shows the rise of indie. From indie games to indie shows.
They made a better scifi story in 20 minutes than Disney did in two whole movies
This feels like what pixar used too be, its amazing and you feel sorry for the mechs
Awesome thanks! Please help spread the word and if you can help us make ep 2 www.kickstarter.com/projects/mechwestshow/mechwest-show
Wow this show is impressive. This episode far surpasses Disney's latest movie in every way. The fight choreography was beyond incredible, and everything is rendered so well, i feel like i could reach into the screen and touch the world. All the models are very well crafted, the voice acting is amazing, and the writing is very well thought out. It has the perfect balance of realistic and cartoony, never leaning too far in either direction. I am stunned at how well this turned out, but knowing how much the team behind it cares about this show, it's not a surprise. Fantastic work!
Thank you so much!
Absolutely! And the animation is awesome.
Holy crap. This is actually phenomenal. Like literally everything has genuine care and attention put into it. The voice acting, the writing, the animation, the music, like I'm genuinely surprised an indie team put this together for KZhead. And I love how it hints at a bigger world, I'd really like to see where this goes.
Wow thank you!
This whole animation gives off Pixar vibes. I absolutely love where this is going and hope a episode 2 is greenlit 😍
Dude this whole team is so amazing, they're a bunch of awesome people, no wonder it's so good! ^^
While I don’t personally think this is my cup of tea, (not really a Wild West kind of guy) I definitely see why people are loving it so much! The animation alone is God Tier quality for an indie animated series. I really hope you guys get the support you need and beyond cause I can really see this become a big thing! Wish you luck and keep up the terrific work!
Thank you for keeping the western alive. The western truly is America’s contribution to mythology. The Cowboy stands alongside The Pirate, Ninja, Knight, Spartan and other historical/mythological figures that will never be forgotten.
But why are cowboys and ninjas in the same area? And why are the ninjas being commanded by people who look like 18th century british dictators???
@@megalo7058What’re you talking about.
@@AlfredFJones1776 I'm talking about the faults with this series, how stuff doesn't make any sense
@@megalo7058 it's a different world
@edengallagher1044 that doesn't mean it shouldn't follow the laws of simple world building and cultural appropriation
23 minutes LONG?! Man you guys absolutely went ham on the production! This is going to make waves in the indie animation scene
MechWest Ep1 reached 500,000 views! Thank you everyone. 🥳🥳🥳😂😂
Wow, this was better than anything Disney or Pixar have put out in the last 5 years
Thank you! We only have NINE DAYS LEFT to reach our goal to make Episode 2! www.kickstarter.com/projects/mechwestshow/mechwest-show
this is somethin special right here looks like 2024 is gonna be the era of indie
Yes!
Is that good or bad?
@@bradydefelice2944 depends what side your on
“This movie is so good! I want you to make another one! Jeeze!” - Brooklyn, 5 years old 😂😍
Awesome!
🥰
Very creative and well made. I imagine this is as the world that would exist after Doc Brown ended up in 1885.
Good point! 😂
I love this, the thing that really got to me the most is the fact that all the mechs are VISIBLY fearful or in pain and the people just don't care. If the mechs don't count as conscious people then why do they flinch when people try to hit them? Why do they make 'unnecessary' noises if it wasn't in order to communicate? The character of McCoy makes me wonder if the whole world setting is like that to mechs or just Meridian. This story has so much potential, I really hope it blows up and gains traction quickly like other recent indie animation projects. And Six is adorable btw 💕
I agree with every statement!
This is what I'd imagine if Disney actually used real talent for their works!
Awesome thanks!
*sees first 5 seconds* "Ooh, ima need some popcorn."
….you know, the fact that each of these recent indie shows (this, Digital Circus and Lackadaisy) ALL have better animation than the most recent stuff Disney has made really says a lot about both the indie studios AND Disney lol. I hope this whole thing is going to be the kick they need in order to realize they have some serious catching up to do
indeed. get recked disney
Sharing it on social media and with friends will help us a lot, please do it!
A good cartoon is when you immediately immerse yourself into the world and feel comfortable. Good storycrafting is when you keep wanting to know more and more about the characters, the world they live in, and the history of where they are. This is an outstanding beginning and I can't wait to see what happens next!
Thank you!
The fact is that this is worth a Disney production
Six might become one of my most favorite animated characters! Great work guys!
Ok, I'm gonna be honest. I'm surprised this hasn't blown up yet. I've been Following Indie animations since hazbin hotel and OH BOY... This one is really promising. KZhead indie animations have a certain style and charm to them, But this is far from a normal indie youtube animation and some times i just forget i'm still watching this on youtube. The quality of Disney/Pixar animation style is on part with if not less than the original sources. The slower paced storytelling is something that youtube series often Ignore because usually in pilots they're often trying to introduce many things in a more limited time, but I'm glad this show isnt afraid to take its time and the premise is intriguing enough to keep me on my toes for the next episode. The mech designs are also really good looking as well and their somewhat rusty look and movement is kinda reminding me of the 2005 Robots movie and some other times and in some specific scenes even Wall-E. Over all FANTASTIC WORK! Great job! Can't wait to see you guys Blow up!
Thank you! ❤❤

Me too
Me too
This was a fantastic first episode, I've been following this project ever since the teaser trailer came out and it's great to finally have it here. The whole team that worked on bringing this to life did a great job. I can't wait to see the next episode. I'm definitely going to share it with others, hopefully it gets the attention it deserves. See you space cowboy.
Thank you!
I found this by chance and I'm so happy I did!!! The animation, the visuals, story and VA work! All stunning!! I'm so happy all these indie projects are finishing their pilot episodes and publishing them, they're so amazing!!
Thank you!
That was Disney-Pixar quality.
Lackadaisy, Hazbin Hotel, The Amazing Digital Circus and now this! Indie animation is doing quite well!
The fact it has a mix of Cowboys, Ninjas and mechs? Sign me in for the next episode! This is awesome! Can't wait for more in the future, im already hooked
I'm definitely getting some strong 2000s/early 2010s Dreamworks movie vibes
It’s animated like a Pixar movie. Love it
THIS IS SO GOOOOD???? Indie animation is getting bigger and I am so excited omg 🎉🤠🤖
Congrats Everyone! Amazing to see this come together!
The esthetic is straight out of a Pixar movie, but in a TV format. The premise in of itself is like a mix of classic Disney & Pixar and I'm all here for it. Amazing job everyone! 👍
thank you KZhead for recommending this to me randomly. worth watching! I look forwards to the next release!
Awesome thanks! Please help spread the word and if you can help us make ep 2 www.kickstarter.com/projects/mechwestshow/mechwest-show
I adore Pearl, she has a heart of gold and a cute design. this turned out so good, It should be a series.
Thank you! We need to spread the word to be able to make ep2: www.kickstarter.com/projects/mechwestshow/mechwest-show
The models and animation are done so well!! So proud of our AnimSchool talent!
genuinely hope this continues, the animation deserves it
This is top notch work. From the animations, sound design and effects, voice acting, music, environments, ect. not to mention 6 is super cute. Glad this popped up on my feed!
I’m gonna be honest airship traveling ninjas was the last thing I was expecting from a show about robots in the westward expansion. But I’m not complaining. Keep up the good work and I hope you people can continue this amazing show
Like I’ve been saying, indie Animation Studios will soon rule the industry
Ha, thank you!
@@mechwestshow I did not expect a “thank you” but you’re welcome
Story is amazing, and I feel as if these Mechs are little friendly creatures... which makes me EXTRA mad/sad when I see them abused like this... Thats GOOD storytelling methods used there! GOOD JOB!
I’m actually blown away- THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!! THE ANIMATION IS OUTSTANDING, the voice acting and the characters-just- I love everything about this!❤️
Thank you! We need fan help for ep2 www.kickstarter.com/projects/mechwestshow/mechwest-show
This is pretty incredible for what seems to be a relatively small team. On par with Pixar stuff from the early 2000's, and honestly, better than anything I've seen from them in years.
I love the character each mech has. You've really nailed the mechanicle-yet-expressive look that films such as Wall-e nailed on the head, but with its own distinctive style. The decision to set this in a Wild West setting is cool and I look forward to seeing where this goes! Also, I like the way Meridian is set up; the combination of coal-powered mechs and horses gives the impression that mechs are starting to become mainstream but their limited repairablility (maybe due to neglect/lack of understanding on the part of the townsfolk) has prevented them from replacing horses entirely. This adds to the conflict that tends to arise when something new is introduced to a society. Whether or not this is true in the lore, I like the worldbuilding and the approach. Great work!
Love it!! Nice job Dave and animschool studio.
When i saw 6 all i could think was "Mech Wazowski"
Ha! 😂
Better than recent Disney animated movies in every aspects.
Thank you!
So glad there's more western animations. First Long Gone Gulch, and now MechWest! Watching this inspires me to keep learning animation. I attended AnimSchool for only a bit, but learned a ton. Someday I plan to join again, and hope to help make a fun film like this someday. Great work to absolutely everyone behind this! I'm a new fan. 🤠
For a first episode, this was fantastic. A little rough in the story, but I like the extra care with the characters. Voices were good and I enjoy the animation of the mechs. I look forward to the next one.
This is what I’d expect from Disney. (If Disney was still good) Honestly, this was really good. The quality is amazing. GLITCH Productions would be really happy to see this.
To think that a major studio didn't make this is astounding. Bravo!
Thank you!
I found this episode very engaging, entertaining and a great novel idea. From about the start, I almost forgot it was an independent studio that made this; definitely on par with the best Pixar ever put out.
Mech west is the kind of show I would have loved as a kid, and sure I'm loving it right now! This is truly a hidden gem, keep the steam at full power!
This 3D animation coming from an indie studio is incredible!
Thank you! We need to spread the word to be able to make ep2: www.kickstarter.com/projects/mechwestshow/mechwest-show
Not really, blender aka "ai" has been doing all the heavy work for decades now. It's just fun not even work...unless u hate urself lol but seriously this stuff is just a fun hobby and art and some people are rich enuf in time and labor paychecks to pay for this but it's like ai can do all the work and even write the scripts all this could be are human voice actors but for all we know it's all ai designed and humans just do quality control maybe type out some signs in the walls and choose a few robot designs but the idea of wild West is super generic and boring that's why they chose it
@@AckzaTV are you sure it was all ai?kzhead.infoZ6eAqSj5W4w?si=8h1jqgzH94t51C1j
No AI was used.
@@sagegallagher 👍
This is Pixar level animation! And it’s free to watch! 😳Great job guys!
Hazbin Hotel, LackaDaisy, Digital Circus, and now this. Man, it’s amazing to see these indie animated projects getting a lot of love and attention. Goes to show how much animation fans have more passion and love for animation unlike executives from studios who don’t care *coughs* like WB’s ceo *coughs*
Indie animation is getting bigger and better
Amazing!! Six is absolutely adorable! Move over WALL-E, we got a new robot cutie in town!
Thank you!
I was just trying to watch the first minutes to get inspired as I am trying to to learn more about 3D and animation, I end up finishing the episode 😅 Good Job 💪
I'm 50 years old and I totally injoyed every moment of episode one. I promptly subscribed. I want to praise all of you that have come together to create this amazing work of art. I can't say enough to describe how great the " mechwest " show is . I'm 100% sure this is going to be a hit. Infact I personally would love models of each mech. Thank you sincerely for making this available and thank you all for the effort and excellent work to make this happen.❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much! That means a lot. We do have some of the mechs for sale - Please help spread the word and if you can help us make ep 2 www.kickstarter.com/projects/mechwestshow/mechwest-show
damn, i hope pearl makes some respect for the mechs, i hate seeing robots get mistreated
SIX IS SO CUTEEEEE
Seriously looking forward to more of this- I didn't expect to get as invested, but the Pixar-level animation quality is a real treat for the eyes.
It's crazy how good the animation is
wow the production value is crazy! Lovely design for the MC too shes so adorable!!! good luck on your show and looking forward to more!
Such fun! My family has watched it 5 times in a row and eager to see more! Ahahaha
Oh wow awesome.
It feels like a mix of How To Train Your Dragon and Dinotrux mixed together... I love it!
This is so different and awesome. It's not like anything I've watched before. Petition for part 2 on KZhead please. I'm fan now, I subscribed and liked the video so fast lol.
Awesome thanks! Please help spread the word and if you can help us make ep 2 www.kickstarter.com/projects/mechwestshow/mechwest-show
@@mechwestshow i will try my best. I hope this gets more recognition ❤️
THIS this is a hidden gem. The animation is on par with GLITCH if not a bit better Hope to see more of Mech West soon!
Thank you!
Six is so cute ! The animation is incredible, i'm definitiely sharing this to my friends !
Yes same here! So cool!!
I’m, oddly in love with this kinda plot. An advanced version of the west filled with mechs that consume coal, but a small mech has a seemingly infinite power source. I love it, any show or video that combines future with past is a W plot in my opinion.
Yeah! And can we take a moment to appreciate how frickin’ gorgeous Pearls design is? I especially love her green dress! It makes her stand out from all the warm colours everywhere so your eyes are gonna naturally look at her rather than anyone else! So beautiful!
All the men are burly and strong men depicted with big strong hands and hard working, while the women are depicted as trying to fine a mate and being a bit lazy. The reason I say this is because that’s exactly how the west was during that time. So they captured that image perfectly
This looks like something that belongs on Netflix! The whole team did a great job bringing this to life and I hope to see more episodes in the future!
Thank you!
Also love that lil outhouse helper with the pitchfork 😂
I always liked the idea of a western with more fantastical elements. In this particular case, with robots. This world intrigues me, and I hope you all get to show us more. I especially hope that in a future episode, we get to see a train because I love the trains from the Wild West. Bonus points if the locomotive is robotic.
Noted! ❤
Great quality! This is soooo Disney/Pixar-esque.... I seriously expected a jolly song in there somewhere! Keep up the good work!
Omg Pearls design is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! I mean seriously! The green dress! The boots! The fingerless gloves! The face! The hair! It’s all so detailed and beautiful! I love her eyes! They’re so expressive! And I love how you justified her being seen as weird. I mean, who wouldn’t think that a girl treating technology like people was weird? But we still see everything from her perspective and how much she cares about bots! I love her character! The green dress really fits given her blonde hair. It makes for a really beautiful colour palette! So amazing! We NEED episode 2! Seriously! How long did this take to make? It’s absolutely amazing! It’s gorgeous! And I haven’t even started talking about the background characters!
Thank you so much! Yeah Pearl stands out visually - the slight green against the red dirt! We need fan support to make Ep2 happen: www.kickstarter.com/projects/mechwestshow/mechwest-show Or if you can't, please help spread the word about the show!

Very nice, all the little mechs have so much personality. Here's hoping for a full season!
Outhouse helper is a profound invention. Why don’t we have this in our modern world?
Because you can literally just have a rack for the paper, and just don't be lazy.

I love this!! The animation is gorgeous and the characters are lovable! The story is really captivating so far, and I can't wait to see where this goes!
Love the idea, the animation is top notch. Hope this gets more episodes and maybe get picked up by Amazon or Netflix.
This is so neat! Great for all ages! Very creative and intriguing- have not seen anything like this before. I do not have enough words to describe this but it had so many unique elements and interpretations. Based on Western thematic art and history as well as bringing in concepts of innovation. The characters, voices, and overall experience makes me want to keep watching! Definitely intrigued by MechWest and hats off to all of those that have helped create and deliver this to us! Look forward to more of this MechWest! Awesome!!
Wow thanks very much!
wait so they have all these robots doing meaningless tasks but not a single robot to act as a bodyguard, security bot, or weapon?
I think maybe the answer is in setting itself. Almost all robots what i see in episode are maximally safe, relatively small and slow, so they didnt have much choise other than obey even if they are treated poorly and have concoushness. Security\warbots and other staff like these can rebel, and well, it will be wery difficult to shot down big armed and armored bot with Wild West era carbines and revolvers (Sorry for language mistakes, didnt write wery well in Eng)
This is fantastic!! The animation quality is smooth and the concept is interesting, I would have never guessed all of this was an indie team!! Hope to see more of Mech West soon!!
I was just about to type this
Feels a lot like some early Pixar work, you know, back when they didn't suck. I like it, hope you make more!
We've added these foreign language subtitles: Spanish, German, Russian, Bulgarian so far!
Wow awesome! Will there be characters who are Indians (as in Native Americans) be in future episodes?
please chinese
@@pinkiepieee9508Hopefully coming soon.
Yes there is a culture inspired by them. @@pyeitme508
@@pyeitme508 Yes there is a culture loosely based on them.
This is a really cute series, I'm really glad I stumbled across it! I'll have to donate some money next paycheck. This looks like a nice feel good story and the world needs more of those
Very clean animation. Good character design, if a little simple. Love the setting and would like to know more about the world. The writing is a little simple, and the over all aesthetic (especially the random ninja bandits) felt very Saturday morning cartoon. Probably not something I would personally watch, but I could see it succeeding with a younger demographic. Hope you can continue it, definitely some good talent behind this.
wow I don't think I've ever seen such a well-made web series, the quality is excellent, the protagonist is really nice and the robots are so cute. If you maintain such high standards you could become the best web series around and maybe what happened to Hazbin Hotel will happen to you. I wish you all the best and look forward to the next episode.
Now this, this is cinema. High budget 3D animation on a series.
Thank you! Please tell a friend about it.
It's really beautiful!! the art is amazing and I love the concept of the wild west with robots
