I really like that she didn't just grab his hand. She let him take hers.

[@snraijuu]

You just read my mind on that one

[@staggbones]

@@snraijuu I think the best way to describe it is respect. She was showing respect for him while also showing support.

[@emmuffindoodles]

Same here. It showed how much she wanted him to be comfortable with her and I frickin love things like that.

[@robibuddo7249]

Agreed. She did it for a number of reasons. 1) she didn’t want to accidentally get hurt if he scratched her out of fear/ptsd again 2) she showed boundaries because she wasn’t given any permanent/specific boundaries for physical affection and support yet. She gives him his space. 3) again support. She let him have the choice of taking her hand. She didn’t force comfort and affection on him because not all people like physical affection as comfort. Some just like a persons presence. Just knowing someone is there to have your back. This is why i love that moment specifically. She is showing her support, but having him make the boundaries he sets to make himself at ease and most comfortable. Also because i can kinda relate to this moment

The fact that Sanga didn't get upset when Ashivon lashed out at her in a panic, she understood because she was dealing with her own traumas. They both wanted to run to each other but felt guilt from trauma caused by their own kind to the other. And then they see an example of a healthy relationship! And the mutual hand taking! I just! Im so happy they get a happy ending. Truly. This is so wonderful and profound and so deep on many emotional levels.

I haven’t seen any comments about how the humans that met them didn’t immediately try to kill ashivon and the little demon, they were _friendly_ and even HELPFUL. Some of them glared yes but they were probably followers of the church. There were many many more instances of humans being kind and the ones that shoved Sanga forward after him when he ran off the boat and she hesitated, they knew, they could tell she wanted to go after him and knew she needed to. And then the demons too, not attacking a human for being there and welcoming these 2 strangers so openly at the end, The world is much kinder than either of them EVER would have imagined

Exactly. It kind of reminds me of the Giver. Both trapped in a society that give off the impression that the whole world is cruel and controlling, because "that's just how it should be".

At 2:43 it looks like we’re seeing Sanga struggle with not knowing whether she fits in Ash’s life anymore, or how she fits. (We saw them both struggle with this separately, when they reached for the other person but chose not to touch them.) But THIS TIME (2:56), when Ash is surrounded by people who look like him, he’s more alone and confused than ever. Sanga is the best person to be there for him, and their relief when they finally touch and realize they belong in each other’s lives gets me every time. And “every time” means a lot because I’m racking up hours watching this series over and over and over…

First off, this is utterly breath-taking!!! And secondly, I adore the way you respectfully handled the characters, especially the demon's struggles with PTSD, and the ex-nun's attempts to sooth him. Not once did she try to grab his hand by force. They were both patient and understanding of each other, in such a beautiful way. I think, our gorgeous demon boy is finally learning to not associate that symbol with the institution that imprisoned him. Instead, it's a part of someone he loves, and he's healing with her patience. Not powers, or sacred ways, just the gentleness to be found in the kindness of someone willing to see him for what he truly is.

This is a beautiful animatic to add to the first one. The addition of the beginning of the animatic is an amazing touch, showing that the characters had a connection before the first animatic. I noticed the correlation between how Ashivon drew out a depiction of his past family in the beginning part, and how the little one also had a past family they depicted. The hurt/comfort of the story hit me hard, how fearful the two main characters are of each other, and it’s completely understandable with their pasts, which makes the ending all the more happy.

Just found your channel and I am so glad this story is complete. I would just like to also show my appreciation and love for all the characters that were kind to them in this journey, and people like them in our own world. You are the gentle stars passing by that give life real value.

[@danielleerstad]

I need to see this as an actual animated series... this style and this story with these beautiful characters brings me to tears it is such a gorgeous set up. thank you for bringing back my inspiration after so long!

I'm not crying- I'm not crying... I'm not CRYING I'm most definitely crying, it's just to beautiful, too emotional, too perfect, it's so good

[@Koneko_Ocelot]

I’m not going to cry, I’m not going to cry, I AM NOT GOING TO CRY. To late, I’m crying.. dang it. This is absolutely amazing. Incredible. Bittersweet. I love it!

[@Arturiouspendragon]

I've watched/listened to this like dozens of times. I never noticed that Sanga, hid the symbols that reminded Ashivon of his enslavement. I like that detail. Thank you.

[@medallionvaliance5349]

Maxwell Ryan And I didn’t realize this until you pointed this out Thanks ^^

[@ashleynarwhal2394]

I only just realised that as that part appeared just as I’m writing this

[@cicadeus7741]

And ashivon covered the executioner brands on his wrists.

[@violingineer7862]

In addition, Sanga used a black wrap to cover her arms, while Ashivon used a white wrap.

[@r.brandt2246]

@@violingineer7862 lmao, I think that's because it's a black and white animatic and wouldn't show up otherwise

I think I've seen all the videos a thousand times by now, and yet I always seem to cry at one point

[@GOD_3ATER]

The art style reminds me of voltron. But seriously I don't get why this isn't an animated serie on Netflix, this is a true masterpiece !

[@kingfisher8313]

Tears?? In my eyeballs??? This animatic was so lovely, a genuinely excellent successor to the previous one!

[@sarar4901]

It's more likely than you think!

I cannot even tell you how many times I've rewatched these...I want a full length 23+ episode anime based off this and I want it now

[@sleepyhollowo]

Ashivon’s design is literally my favorite

[@kristimka]

Боже мой. Так чётко и ясно рассказать историю без единого слова это талант.

[@EmptyFeet]

Спасибо! ^u^

[@jeonlous_just1day]

I didn't realise until you pointed it out *Holy sh-* There's also another animatic I keep rewatching called *'The Greatest Show | OC Animatic'* which doesn't have any words, would totally recommend checking that out, it's a completely different vibe from this animatic, uses a very famous upbeat song in an evil way (and I'm here for it alright)

[@jules5933]

4 years later and i still cry like a baby over this series 🥲 this one especially. so powerful

[@soldsoulforgold]

This has more emotion in four minutes than Frozen could ever have with two full-length movies.

[@thuluslime5364]

A second part I was not expecting and a second part I didn't know I needed.

[@scouttrooper3123]

Me too

[@nae5556789]

Damn, yet another rewatch of the animatics back to back make me realize how much of a love-letter the two songs ended up being to each other (Ashivon to Sanga, Sanga to Ashivon) throughout the story :’) Amazing use of storytelling through the poetic nature of the two songs! Just,, toasty I love your work SO MUCH

[@andromadaphoenix7806]

No the story telling without any talking and only emotions is *beautiful* this story is amazing and how much planning and work and effort that went into this makes it even better, im so glad ive stumbled onto this story and I love it

[@hadiyahkhan76]

OH MY GOD I GAVE NO WORDS THIS WAS WHOLE LEGITIMATE STORY! THE STORYLINE, THE CONCEPT, EVERYTHING IS ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL. I LOVE THIS SO MUCH.

[@scarlett4024]

i love how you can tell what's happening even tho there aren't any words being spoken i wish you'd make another one so we can see how they're going on and how they deal with their past and part 2 does clear up some reasons on why she was so nice to him and how they're friendship grow into something different and beautiful

[@EmptyFeet]

there should be a new part sometime before june this year!
