# Ongezellig Ongezellig is a Dutch web animation about three adopted sisters, Maya, Coco, and Mymy, from one-person studio Studio Massa, whose pilot rolled out in parts on YouTube starting July 2018[1]. A 4chan fandom latched onto the series almost instantly, and by 2023 soyjak edits of the characters were being uploaded to YouTube as their own creative subgenre[5]. ## Origin Dutch animator Studio Massa uploaded 'deel 1' (part 1) of the Ongezellig pilot to YouTube on July 20, 2018[1]. Additional parts rolled out over the next four years, with the final installment arriving on October 9, 2022[1]. On February 6, 2024, Studio Massa announced the end of the project on his petje.af fundraising page, citing burnout from juggling a demanding day job with labor-intensive animation work, plus multiple failed pitch attempts to secure further funding (translated from Dutch)[2]. - **Platform:** YouTube (source) / 4chan (viral spread) - **Creator:** Studio Massa - **Date:** 2018 ## Overview Maya, the show's anxious lead, scrambles to finish a history class presentation with her adopted sisters Coco and Mymy[1]. In Dutch, 'ongezellig' roughly translates to 'uninviting' or 'uncomfortable,' the direct inversion of 'gezellig,' an untranslatable Dutch word for cozy social warmth. Studio Massa, a solo animator working out of the Netherlands, released the pilot in several parts on YouTube rather than as a single film[1]. Fan output centers on reaction edits of the three sisters, often remixed into soyjak-style compositions associated with 4chan and the Soyjak Party ecosystem[5]. Fanart lives on a dedicated image board called Ongezellig Booru, which hosts user-submitted drawings of Maya, Coco, and Mymy[4]. An Urban Dictionary definition praises the show as 'the gem that saved the party' among soyjak fans[6]. ## How to Use Typical Ongezellig posts recut screencaps of Maya, Coco, or Mymy as reaction images, often layered with soyjak faces or edited in the schizo-style aesthetic common to Soyjak Party uploads. A common convention is to post the sisters as expressive stand-ins for anxiety, awkwardness, or online drama, matching the show's title meaning of 'uncomfortable.' Dedicated fanart lives on Ongezellig Booru[4]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Ongezellig?
