I haven’t watched the whole series, but I couldn’t tell all of the moments, could you clarify what and when the events were?

[@TISOA_1173]

​@Smasher-px2tk I got you my friend. So the Baby is Horse and the Infant. He throws the baby off the wall, because the child would grow up to kill him if not. The second one is the Cyclops, Dead is probably Polites or one of the other men killed by it. The third one.. I'm thinking either Scylla, where he sacrificed six men for passage through or ThunderBringer where he chooses himself or his crew who have just betrayed him.

[@Smasher-px2tk]

@@TISOA_1173those three I knew, I was wondering because I assumed every red flash was a past event, side note, I think the third is his betrayal from Mutiny

[@jacksonlee1883]

I think when Poseidon starts screaming I hear the Infant’s theme. I don’t know if it’s a bell or piano but I hear it. I think it is masterful storytelling that the first act on his journey home is connected to the last. Killing a baby and beating a Hod within an inch of his life.

It's a straight up rebuke of possidon's way of life. Possidon could have prevented ALL of this. All that pain. Had he just heard ody's appology in "ruthlessness" and said. "I understand. offer me your finest horse as tribute and we will end this blood fued." instead he mocked the appoogy thinking he'd kill the mortal, but, he failed to. Then in "get in the water". Ody gives him one...last...chance. He says "drop it, go home, do not prevoke what YOU'VE made me" welp. Possidon just couldn't help himself. In that moment, he told ody. "I am not the sirens who could have been spared. I am not circe who was spared. I am not Hermes who could be negotiated with, and I am not Zues who accepts that you've suffered enough. I am possideon and the ONLY way I will listen, is if you make me. ...that "you...monster" was Possideon realizing. That he pushed ody way too far, that what ody is willing to do, is far beyond what he could imagine. He was quite willing to keep stabbing, as long as it took, until Possideon gave up. He made him a Monster, and even he didn't want to experience that monster. the true mercy to himself, would have been to walk away. Because now he didn't even get to avoid the pain he had been hoping to avoid.

Actually (pushes up anime glasses) since none of Odysseus’s men received proper burials they had no money to pay Charon to cross the Styx into the Underworld. They exist on the bank of the Styx as spirits and ghosts until they can cross. So all the screams Odysseus hears may not just come from PTSD but the literal ghosts of his crew and mother and Hector’s son haunting him. On the plus side 600 vengeful ghosts helping in your fight with the god of the sea, super cool.

All respect to Jay's anime vision, but 600 strike will always be some form of Ody summoning his 600 crewmates for revenge. Especially since Jay himself said that any mortal with an accompaniment means their accompaniment is physically there. Thank you for depicting that.

[@pilentus]

What is an accompaniment?

[@toxicdemon1315]

Well he also said that God's don't need an accompaniment to physically be present, as through magic they can just make it happen. So this might imply that Odysseus, for just this one moment, become more than a man.

[@Yet_AGOTI]

@@pilentus When you have a main singer any other bits of music are part of the "accompaniment." The "Six Hundred- Six Hundred Men" vocals are a vocal accompaniment!

[@Yet_AGOTI]

@@toxicdemon1315 That is another interpretation, yes, but i'm leaning on what's already been confirmed. Though we *also* have many times when Ody hears these spirits and it is questionable if they are there, such as the "all I hear are screams" reprise in "Love in Paradise" so it could even be Odysseus himself hearing the chant in his head.

[@tyfhg1]

This animatic perfectly captured exactly what I was hoping for in this musical: a bloody and violent resolution that shows just how ugly and unfulfilling vengeance really is. It's cathartic, but horrifying and desperate and lonely and terrible. This entire song is the culmination of how ugly Odysseus has to become in order to survive. An animal backed into a corner foaming at the mouth that will do anything it takes. I'm genuinely in such awe of how perfectly this musical managed to capture the way a soul can become hardened to endure hardship. "If you are going to survive, then you will have to adapt. The question is: Will you still want the same things when you have become a different animal altogether?"

"Despite everything, it's still you"

It's the immense brutality that goes into a decision like this. Odysseus was barely trying to let him release the storm, he was just killing him. Grabbing his weapon and just went at it. There's no thought, no rhyme or reason. He closed his heart, became a monster and showed Poseidon just how insanely brutal a human can be. Where most would shudder, Odysseus didn't.

​@@ethanbuttazzi26023D animation is ridiculously hard, it's not so much that the work was novice, but rather that it was too large scale for an individual to tackle in that short span of time.

​@@BeyondTrash-xe1vsyes it is hard, and I'll give credit to the mouth animation, but the actual movement is terrible, it entirely disconnects the whole scene, the contrast is too harsh, which reduces everything else, even thought most of the other components are very well made

For real! This animatic gave a different feels to this song. When I was listened to it I felt like Ody finally has his revenge, like he was savoring every moment of Poseidon's pain. Now it felt like he doesn't want to hurt anyone anymore, but he's willing to do it if it means going back home. He is tired of war and bloodshed, but his head told him that this is the only way to convince Poseidon so he has to get through it, he's dangerous.

YUMMMYYYY DINNNERR YTUMMUY YUMYJMYIJSENJUISNEIJHASDG ALSO OMFG 2:19 THE TRANSITIONS OF TRAUMAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[@eisforeveryone2424]

The raw excitement I felt when I saw this had me, an adult man, kicking my feet giddy like a kid!!! Seriously incredible work, and dangerously fast at that!! I liked the one in the livestream, but it definitely wasnt how I imagined 600 strike, save for the 2d bits at the end. So you have absolutely nailed what I imagined this song may look like, and in a gorgeously powerful way at that!!

[@bentoncozzi612]

OH MY GOD!!! THIS SHOULD BE THE NEW CANON ANIMATIC, YOU DID IT ALL PERFECTLY OMFG!!!!!

[@DalePWhyte]

Ody flashing back to critical moments in the adventure with each stab goes so hard. My jaw is on the floor. Incredible work

[@WeedzTyphoon]

Holy crap I LOVE THE REFRANCES NEAR THE END WHEN HE WAS STABBING HIM (tbh shows his anger even more compared to the specific animation made for the song) AND UR STYLE LOOKS FANTASTIC!!! (DIDNT use names bc im assuming at spelling lmao)

[@Kirbzi]

When I first listened to this song, I immediately imagined it as Odysseus opening the wind bag and summoning his 600 men through the storm to held him bring down Poseidon, you've animated this beautifully so bravo!

YO THE WINGS ON HIS HEAD WHEN ODY EMERGES FROM THE WATER!?!??! Absolutely LOVING that Poseidon design. I love how Ody's face is in shadow and only showing one eye. The lightning bolt shot at 0:35 is so cool!!! Also, HELLO??!?! THE SHOT OF PENELOPE!?!?!? OW?!?!? I absolutely love how each of his crew comes up from the water to attack Poseidon, that's so cool!! Poseidon looked at Ody at 1:30 and seeing a monster is so good omg. Love the way it looks with the wisps. I also love how his vision is blurry and not taking up the whole screen. It's such a fun detail! ODY SHOWING UP BRIEFLY WITHIN THE MONSTER AT 1:51?!?!!?? SO COOL!!!!!!! And the shot of him holding the trident is so good omg. It's so creepy and sinister! ASTYANAX!?!?!?! HELLO?!?!?!!?!?!?! Bro those transitions are so good omg, the hard work really shows. I adore how the color swaps from blue to red for violent or painful moments.

I love how you handled ody using the wind bag so much more than the jetpack joyride thing from the stream
