So. I just came across this masterpiece yesterday and absolutely have to share it with my fellow degenerates because I'm very Normal about it.
It's a short original Korean animated BL story, vampire uke/underground fighter puppy seme with absolutely stunning visuals, backgrounds, lighting, palettes, music, composition, an angsty story (bit of gore/blood but not excessive), and THE HOTTEST sex scene I've ever seen in anything. It's censored so it doesn't feel graphic or exploitative but it's uhhhh spicy.
I'm somewhat of an animation snob so to find something THIS high quality unexpectedly was sort of a transcendent experience. I really hope this studio makes more along this lines.
This is the only place I found to watch it rn that my computer doesn't fucking freak out about malware (if it tells you you can't watch it, switch to another streaming server):
https://9anime.pe/watch/mignon-18539?ep=104924I think it used to be available for purchase on Vimeo but it got taken down bc of licensing issues or something similar so keep an eye out for it to come back up, hopefully it will.
If you've already seen it feel free to add your experience here bc I'd love to gush about it.

Just so everyone knows Mignon is not underrated and is one of the most known animated BL. It blew up when it came out and is still very much discussed till this day
I must have just missed out on it when it first came out lmao
ohhh im so glad someone else discovered this artist. you're in for a treat. they did most of the work on their own and their first was hyperventilation, which is available here. i remember hearing about the release of their second work and then hearing nothing for about 6 months(?) until it was released with little to no promotion. author just dropped it and said "feast your eyes" if you get the time or if it's within your budget, their physical copies explain how they go through the animation process and how they decide on which detail to add, etc. You can just tell they love what they do.
I did both read Hyperventilation here and also bought the animated series from Vimeo! So good! It's so wild how talented and hardworking the creator is.
I love Mignon. The animation, the music, the characters - I love it all. Episode 10 is my favorite.
Sadly no longer on vimeo and no signs of it being available for purchase anytime soon. The price was super reasonable too! Still super excited to see what the studio does next!
