Web Animation / The Last Guest

Be strong. Always be strong.

The Last Guest is a Roblox Fan Animated Drama short film and first of its series of the same name, created by ObliviousHD, a British teenage animator renown for Roblox fan animation and Machinima, and released on December 8, 2017. Despite being young, it has over 20 million views and is considered one of the best Roblox fan animations ever made.

Produced as a tragic and heartbreaking Allegory of Roblox's removal of the Guest feature, it tells the life of Guest^note Originally, he had No Name Given, but the subtitles and other characters in the later entries call him Guest, whose status as Guest is the reason he is disliked by others, and worst, is hunted down by Bacon Soldier Terrorist Organization, an army of terrorist Guest-hating noobs. After witnessing the horrific deeds of the Bacon Soldiers and the nearly-successful genocide against Guests, he joins the army and tries to defeat them for once and for all.
