History WebAnimation / ThereSheIs

'''The first episode''', "[[http://www.sambakza.net/works_tsi/tsi_movie/tsi_step1.html There she is!!]]" introduces them, and she commences to chase him all over the city with hearts trailing after her all the while. He tries simply avoiding her; then, when that doesn't work, he tries to convince her they're not suited to each other due to prevailing prejudices about InterspeciesRomance. She is unconvinced. He even tries to fix her up with other rabbits, which only serves to tick her off. Finally, he gives in, then realizes he's starting to return her affections. Their relationship begins.

'''The second episode''', "[[http://www.sambakza.net/works_tsi/tsi_movie/tsi_step2_eng.html Cake Dance]]" has Nabi doing the nice thing and bringing Doki a birthday cake. She waits patiently for him at the party and eats the cake a relative baked her, unaware of the tribulations he's going through trying to get her cake delivered safely, including being attacked by the Jjintta Set (a gang of spiky bunnies), whose leader, Il-ho, is misinformed by member Yi-ho that Nabi is forcing himself on helpless Doki. The cartoon ends with a young bunny girl in a situation that mirrors the beginning of the episode--Nabi helps her out by carrying her to her destination on his shoulders. A ShoutOut to his earlier insistence that [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend they're not a couple]] comes in the only English line in the episode.

'''The third episode''', "[[http://www.sambakza.net/works_tsi/tsi_movie/tsi_step3.html Doki & Nabi]]" finally officially tells the viewer their names. Doki continues with her over the top professions of love, including a press conference to announce their first date, and Nabi gives in a little more to his feelings. But during the proper date Nabi inadvertently insults Doki with his behavior. He realizes what he's done, though, and asks her out again. She's delighted, and they plan happily for another date. But someone really doesn't like the idea of their romance...

'''The fourth episode''', "[[http://www.sambakza.net/works_tsi/tsi_movie/tsi_step4.html Paradise]]", has Doki and Nabi officially romantically involved. But the anti-cat and bunny romance prejudice is a major obstacle, and things stop being cute and funny and [[CerebusSyndrome quickly take a turn for the dark]]. They are kicked out of cafes because of their InterspeciesRomance. They are accosted and attacked in the street. Doki is injured in such an attack, which Nabi takes very hard. Nabi doesn't resist the leader of the Jjintta Set when he attacks due to having spied on Doki. Nabi still ends up in jail, separated from his phone. This leads to an unfortunate misunderstanding, when Doki calls him and gets no answer, as Nabi has begun distancing himself from Doki for what he believes is her own protection.

'''The fifth and final episode''', "[[http://www.sambakza.net/works_tsi/tsi_movie/tsi_step5.html Imagine]]", begins with Doki leaving to go to Paradise on her own, having only texted Nabi to tell him goodbye. He tries to get her on the phone, but she already threw hers away. Thus begins his race to catch her before she walks out of his life forever.

** Anyone can love anybody. [[WordOfGod More specifically]], it's okay for Japanese and Koreans to be in love, although the story can easily be applied to any "abnormal" romance[[labelnote:*]]Like [[HoYay same sex]], [[MayDecemberRomance huge age difference]], things like that[[/labelnote]]. InterspeciesRomance is frowned upon when a human is involved in RealLife, however. Though seeing how in real life, a non-sapient being isn't capable of forming a romantic relationship, in the sense of an informed and meaningfully consenting one, with a human, it could be reinterpreted as Interracial love.

''[[http://www.sambakza.net/works_tsi/tsi_main.html There she is!!]]'' is a five episode WebAnimation series by Amalloc of the Korean web animation team [[http://www.sambakza.net [=SamBakZa=]]].

* {{Tsundere}}: Doki is a Type B. She's usually sweet to Nabi, but she has been known to shove his face full of carrots, or chop down trees to get to him, when she's not snuggling him aggressively. Not to mention getting quite violent on those rabbits Nabi tried to fix her up in Step 1.

* BreakTheCutie: Seeing poor Doki hurt because of their love, and the fact he can do nothing to stop or protect her, breaks Nabi.

* RageBreakingPoint: At the beginning of Step 3, Nabi has gotten very much fed up with being harassed over his relationship with Doki.

* [[CardGames Card Game]]: A [[https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/insanitygames/there-she-is-the-official-card-game/ Kickstarter campaign]] was started at the end of 2016 by a small group of fans. Became more SugarWiki/{{heartwarming|Moments}} when [=SamBakZa=] stated they were helping out with the art and other parts of the card game.

* AFriendInNeed: Oh so many in "Imagine", but Yi-ho sliding off his motorcycle (injuring himself in the process) so Il-ho and Nabi can make the light is this combined with SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic with a side of TrueCompanions. It might even have a dash of HeelFaceTurn, considering he's the one who misinformed Il-ho about Nabi in "Cake".

* ShaggyDogStory: PlayedForLaughs in episode 2. Nabi spends an entire episode delivering cake to Doki's birthday party, only to be tackled right at the finish line. Of course, [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments she loves that he did it for her]], so it's definitely not a loss.

'''The second episode''', "[[http://www.sambakza.net/works_tsi/tsi_movie/tsi_step2_eng.html Cake Dance]]" has Nabi doing the nice thing and bringing Doki a birthday cake. She waits patiently for him at the party and eats the cake a relative baked her, unaware of the tribulations he's going through trying to get her cake delivered safely, including being attacked by the Jjintta set (a gang of spiky bunnies), whose leader, Il-ho, is misinformed by member Yi-ho that Nabi is forcing himself on helpless Doki.

** Common fan theory believed Il-ho of the Jjinta Set has a crush on Doki, however [[WordOfGod it was revealed]] that he cares about Doki and Nabi's relationship because [[spoiler:his parents are a female rabbit and a male lion]].

* AttemptedRape: The [[GoldfishPoopGang Jjinta Set]] leader is under the mistaken impression Nabi is trying this on Doki, but he chastises his henchman when he sees Doki is actively pursuing Nabi.

* GoldfishPoopGang: Subverted. The Jjinta Set is only a comedic, not terribly credible threat in "Cake Dance" and become wary friends with Nabi.

** He dodges the Jjinta Set in Step 2: Cake Dance and Doki's hearts in Step 3: Doki & Nabi. Interestingly enough, there is a set of hearts he doesn't dodge, and ends up getting buried.

* NotWhatItLooksLike: The leader of the Jjinta Set attacks Nabi for breaking things off with Doki. He happens to accidentally do this in front of a Pro-Interspecies-Romance demonstration who see Nabi as a hero of their movement and the act as a Hate Crime. This is immediately set upon by an Anti-Interspecies-Romance demonstration, turning into a riot which leads to Nabi getting beaten and arrested.

** The bikes that the Jjinta Set are riding in Step 5 are clear references to ''Akira'', the one with the eyepatch's bike looks just like Tetsuo's bike, and he even does the same sliding crash that Tetsuo did, though much more intentionally.

* [[CardGames Card Game]]: A [[https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/insanitygames/there-she-is-the-official-card-game/ Kickstarter campaign]] was started at the end of 2016 by a small group of fans. Became more [[CrowningMomentofHeartwarming heartwarming when]] [=SamBakZa=] stated they were helping out with the art and other parts of the card game.

It might even have a dash of HeelFaceTurn, considering he's the one who misinformed Il-ho about Nabi in "Cake".

* ShaggyDogStory: PlayedForLaughs in episode 2. Nabi spends an entire episode delivering cake to Doki's birthday party, only to be tackled right at the finish line. Of course, [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming she loves that he did it for her]], so it's definitely not a loss.

* ChekhovsGun: The animals in Step 2.

* GenkiGirl: Doki

* IronicEpisodeTitle: Paradise
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy:
** After an angry mob hurts Doki, Nabi begins to distance himself from her under this belief.

* LoveBubbles: Frequently.

* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: Nabi and Doki. Ain't they just.

** The bikes that the JJinta Set are riding in Step 5 are clear references to ''Akira'', the one with the eyepatch's bike looks just like Tetsuo's bike, and he even does the same sliding crash that Tetsuo did, though much more intentionally.
* SlowMotionDrop: In the intro of the first episode.

* TruckDriversGearChange: Without this, the fate of the cake wouldn't have been such a TearJerker.

* WindowPain: Step 3: Nabi & Doki ends with a rock through a window. In Step 4: Paradise, we see it was Nabi's window... and that there are more rocks.

'''The fourth episode''', "[[http://www.sambakza.net/works_tsi/tsi_movie/tsi_step4.html Paradise]]", has Doki and Nabi officially romantically involved.

They are kicked out of cafes because of their InterspeciesRomance. They are accosted and attacked in the street. Doki is injured in such an attack, which Nabi takes very hard.

'''The first episode''', "[[http://www.sambakza.net/works_tsi/tsi_movie/tsi_step1.html There she is!!]]" introduces them, and she commences to chase him all over the city with hearts trailing after her all the while. The cat tries simply avoiding her; then, when that doesn't work, he tries to convince her they're not suited to each other due to prevailing prejudices about InterspeciesRomance. She is unconvinced.

She waits patiently for him at the party and eats the cake a relative baked her, unaware of the tribulations he's going through trying to get her cake delivered safely, including being attacked by the Jjintta set (a gang of spiky bunnies), whose leader perceives him as oppressing the helpless bunny girl, due to something one of his lieutenants said. The cartoon ends with a bunny girl in a situation that mirrors the beginning of the episode; the cat, touched, picks her up and rides her on his shoulders. A ShoutOut to his earlier insistence that [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend they're not a couple]] comes in the only English line in the episode.

'''The third episode''', "[[http://www.sambakza.net/works_tsi/tsi_movie/tsi_step3.html Doki & Nabi]]" finally tells the viewer their names. Doki is the bunny. Nabi is the cat. Doki continues with her over the top professions of love, and Nabi gives in a little more to his feelings. Doki calls a press conference to announce their first date.

** Was possibly the case with Il-ho of the Jjinta Set. Common fan theory is that he has a crush on Doki, however it was revealed that their relationship reminded him of [[spoiler: his parents, according to WordOfGod]].

* CharacterDevelopment: A surprising amount given the length of the videos and the lack of spoken dialogue: Nabi learns to ignore [[FantasticRacism what others think]] as he grows to love Doki, Il-ho [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation arguably]] outgrows his own prejudices to [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy help Doki and Nabi...]]

* AFriendInNeed: Oh so many in "Imagine", but the one-eyed Jjinta Set member's sliding off his motorcycle (injuring himself in the process) so Il-ho and Nabi can make the light is this combined with CrowningMusicOfAwesome with a side of TrueCompanions. It might even have a dash of HeelFaceTurn, considering he's the one who misinformed Il-ho about Nabi in "Cake".

* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: Il-ho tries to do this to Nabi in Step 4. It doesn't work, but does spark a riot after Doki and Nabi's supporters misinterpret Il-ho's motives.

** Also seen when Il-ho does whatever he can to get Nabi to come to his senses in Step 4 and get to the Airport in Step 5, despite his own feelings for Doki.

%%* CrossPoppingVeins

** Was possibly the case with Il-ho of the Jjinta Set. Common fan theory is that he has a crush on Doki, however it was revealed that their relationship reminded him of [[spoiler: his parents]].

* BadassPacifist: Pizza again. He usually is seen defusing things with intimidation, and when he is seen physically intervening at the Airport, he's shown ''aggressively petting an attacker into submission'' (It seems more logically he was wiping on him the egg that said attacker threw at Doki but which Pizza intercepted with his paw).

* ThePowerOfLove: Not only do they unintentionally spark a race war, Nabi and Doki solve it with their love. Quoting a review on ThisVeryWiki, "it's not [[ThePowerOfLove love]] saving the day as some vague all-powerful force - it's characters acting *out* of love and choosing to face obstacles because of it."

* HeroWithBadPublicity: As of Step 4, Doki and Nabi are hated by pretty much EVERYONE except their close affiliates solely because of the awareness of their interrelationship status. The hate graffiti and vandalism covering every inch of Nabi's house and Doki immediately being chased by an angry mob on sight further verifies this.

* HeroWithBadPublicity: As of Step 4, Doki and Nabi are examples, getting a lot of hate from a majority of the people solely because of their interrelationship status. The hate graffiti and vandalism covering every inch of Nabi's house and Doki immediately being chased by an angry mob on sight further verifies this.

Currently, a [[https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/there-she-is-6th-episode-another-step#/a crowdfunding campaign was launched]] in order to fund an additional 6th episode focusing on the Jjinta Set as well as a DVD compilation of all the episodes and extras.

* AllThereInTheManual: Much of the backstory of the characters is only available in the character page at SamBakZa, since it can't be properly conveyed in a series without spoken lines.

* CardiovascularLove: All over the place, mainly with the HeartSymbols originating mostly from Doki. They seem able to turn solid, as Nabi is seen buried and conked on the head by them.

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Nabi is hated by EVERYONE in Step 4, and is blacklisted by pretty much EVERY LAST ESTABLISHMENT in the entire city.
