==Series==
===ENA===
ENA is an avant-garde, comedy series created in 2020. The series is about two characters named ENA and Moony going on several, strange adventures while meeting new people and surrealistic environments. Its style is similar to retro 90s computers and PC video games. The first episode is in the style of a simple skit until the next two episodes, which take place from ENA's perspective, similarly to maze video games. The latest episode, "Temptation Stairway", was released on February 15, 2021. ENA became hugely popular with fan art and theories. Three episodes have been produced so far, with a new entry in the series called Dream BBQ, a video game and animation, coming soon.
===Hands Up===
Hands Up is an action-comedy series created in 2018 in collaboration with Mizu Wolf. The story centers around two government agents, Margo and Ula going on several missions. However, the mostly dedicated Ula has to deal with Margo's laziness. There are currently six episodes with several short animations. The style is similar to stylistic anime such as works by Studio Trigger. Some of the episodes are music videos either sung by the characters or from other musicians. Hands Up has also become very popular, especially the characters Margo and Ula.
===2 Ants 1 President===
2 Ants 1 President is a series created in 2016 about two ants, named Derek and Melvin who plan to rebel against a corrupt president. They also meet a self-aware robot named Hally who works at a weapons factory. While the series is still ongoing, there are currently two episodes having been released three years ago. The style is mainly based on retro 80's anime and crime series, even down to the quality looking similar to an old television screen. The series is relatively well known, mostly the character Hally.
===Dora the Teenager===
Dora the Teenager is a parody series about the Dora the Explorer character Dora Márquez having to deal with the difficult life of high school while being teased about her TV series.
