Today's even more traumatic video: Resident Evil Numa REmake

Do you send your love by writing their on the wall with T-virus-infected blood? Do Nemesis monsters frequently buy you flowers? If you can stomach the Numa song, you might get a kick out of all the references spanning the entire Resident Evil series. Otherwise, you'll probably be praying for Las Plagas by the end of the reel. Video embedded above; you've been warned.

truly, the most traumatic thing is that someone actually converted numa numa into english.
and that someone transcribed that sucker.
into this video :(

Are you kidding? It's -not- a translation. They just completely changed the words. Even the meaning is completely different, except that it has to do with 'love'. That's it.

I love Dragostea Din Tei. Such a catchy song. That is, the original version (Romanian?). This English translation... is okay, I guess.
Neat video, still. I think it'd benefit from higher brow animation, though. Maybe this guy should get in touch with Legendary Frog. He's quite familiar with drawing Resident Evil in a very cartoony style.

You gotta be shitting me.. I can't believe so many people think this is an english translation or version of the song. The only thing that is the same is "Hello, Salute" in english or romanian. They just used the beat and added their own lyrics. Have that few of people actually experienced the Numa Numa phenomenon? Most of you seem to only have caught a wisper of it from somewhere. Not saying it's bad not to know it but how couldn't you if you're a concious being, one who somewhat briefly visits that thing called the internet.

Damn, Anticrawl. Chill the hell out. While I like the song, I've never bothered to look up the lyrics and see what they mean.

I was under the impression that this was an official redo of the song in English, akin to "Passion" and "Sanctuary" by Utada Hikaru. In any case, Legendary Frog is funny, but he's a shit animator. He just knows how to use tweens and gradients is all >__> Now, Ryanide on deviantart is a good animator. Frame by frame FTW

This was great! Shadowleggy always makes the best resident evil animated videos on you tube. Her other videos are also awesome!

So that's the Numa Numa song. Not as bad as the Hamster Dance. Since buying RE4 I've been interested in the series. Rather than trying the old GCN I can see the story in RE:UC or if they're remade.

DUUUUUUUUDE IT'S AMAZING! Thanks a bunch!
We really need a way to PM other users, or trade email etc.
waynski1457 @ Sep 13th 2007 12:28AM
he is truly unforgiven for making this.
ShadowLeggy @ Sep 14th 2007 12:39AM
'She' can probably kick your ass. ^_^
waynski1457 @ Sep 14th 2007 12:53AM
lmao, i just wanted to use the fact that u had "unforgiven" in ur intro and see what people said.
ShadowLeggy @ Sep 14th 2007 12:58AM
Dayum, I didn't even get that one XD I must be off today. Sorry, I'm in an ass-kicking mood today, lots of random haters on the Youtube side of town XD
Negativecool @ Sep 13th 2007 12:30AM
Yes "I send I send" my love by "writing their" on the wall with T-virus-infected blood!
Doesn't everybody?
Nice vid BTW.
Obie @ Sep 13th 2007 12:46AM
Not bad, some funny parts, but 2 minutes longer than it had to be.
arcthemonkey @ Sep 13th 2007 2:04AM
He used the single english version that never once says "Numa" for his Numa video? WTF? Also, he transcribed the words wrong, repeatedly... Oh well!
Me @ Sep 13th 2007 5:33AM
Thats kind of the idea dumbass, adapting the words to a resident evil setting.
Trashman @ Sep 13th 2007 2:50AM
The english version sucks. Original teh best. Balan from O-Zone did his own song based on the song. Very good. Has more of a rock feel to it
jopojelly @ Sep 13th 2007 3:00AM
Heh, I liked where Leon and Ashley were looking at each other at the couple part.
BrennaCeDria @ Sep 13th 2007 4:14AM
On the one hand, I think it probably does exactly what the guy meant it to. It's catchy, just cause it's Numa and the damn thing just won't ever go away.
On the other hand, I don't think I've sat in slack-jawed disbelief for so long in my life. This DEFINITELY wins most traumatic.

This is the greatest song ever written in the history of music soooooo any marring of its name won't be tolerated.
The first time I heard this song was in Paris, my girlfriend and I were alone on a subway car on vacation, and these 4 dudes with accordians came in and played it! AWEEEESSOOMMMEEE
Dafreshman @ Sep 13th 2007 9:25AM
the video is kinda cool, you just have to understand and know the RE series to get it.. aside from that, the song isn't that bad
rDr4g0n @ Sep 13th 2007 10:29AM
that was awesome. i honestly couldnt remember who all the RE characters were, but the vid was hilarious. give the guy some credit!
Flamehearted @ Sep 13th 2007 11:20AM
Not as good as Buggy Saints Row : The Musical

Wow, didn't take long to get on big forums like this....
And for the record everyone, I'm not a boy. I was just cursing the links and this one looked interesting. Now... I know a lot of people hate the song. My question is... If people hate the song SO much, why do they go and watch a video where the song name is in the TITLE? Honestly? It's like they wanna go out of their way to bitch about something.
But to those who like it, thank you very much, a lot of hard work went into this. Sorry if it was uh... Traumatizing O_o; I'm a little brutal with the cartoon gore I guess. But yeah, thanks also for the publicity.
Oh! One more thing.... the lyrics are wrong on purpose.

Thank you for that. ^_^ Someone actually gets it!
mjfan84 @ Sep 14th 2007 12:50AM
Traumatizing? XDDD Leggy's videos rock man \m/ shouldnt you guys have a link to her channel on youtube or something?
ishtar @ Sep 14th 2007 7:06AM
After I saw the "Britney he-bitch" on youtube every other video seems sane in comparison. So for me this wasn't traumatizing in the least.
Blackbone1990 @ Sep 17th 2007 7:20PM
The video sucks.
