How did Sergei stop himself from beating the shit out of Yura after he makes the face at 3:31. God tier restraint

[@MyNameIsTheGreatest]

There are TEARS on my face LMAO

[@mariahanczewska8109]

Yura's face in this moment is asking for beating the shit out of this smug grin.

[@kakahass8845]

How did 3:13 get him to try to hit Yura but he had enough restraint to not break his face at 3:25 and 3:31

[@tiredtraveler4536]

Seeing Sergei's tired, soulless stare as he gives up on the last and most important person he has left in the world just hurts.

[@xoderota]

Yeah. I like how Sanya doesn't look happy either - she didn't want to be controlled by him but now that he leaves her to do what she wants she's unsure

[@lightdarkequivalent7143]

I've seen that blank vacant stare at some points in my life Some were valid, others just made me want to smash my head against a wall My dad especially, how the hell does he make it feel like it's my fault that he's in an unhappy marriage with two kids, what the fuck did i ever do to him

@@lightdarkequivalent7143 I'm sorry to hear of your predicament. But I believe you're meant to be the only one who can see truth and reason, unlike how your father is unable to. Hold on to that, you'll be better than him one day.

[@xoderota]

@@DavidGonzalezArias-rj5vj there's a link to a lore doc in every description I'm pretty sure, that should tell you everything you need to know

[@chrosairs7057]

"I would gladly break my every bone to have you breathe some more" Thats the overprotective mentality that assured Sergei never connected to Sanya

[@hurricanemeem]

It's interesting seeing that as much as Sanya resents sergei's control of her, they have similar fears. Sergei does not want to lose the last person he'd ever considered family, and neither does Sanya. When you look at STRIKE 3 and 100 EPITAPHS side by side, although the two have diverging goals, in the end both Kazarins are tired and scared to lose what they love. Furthermore, both Kazarins are seeing their loved ones start to slip away before their eyes.

[@hurricanemeem]

I don't say this to mean Sanya necessarily loves Yura in a romantic context. Some crushing might have been there at the start, but I can only see their bond as platonic, personally. Regardless of the muddy line between romance and comradery, Sanya cared for him. And she's watching him kill himself.

[@Vegas242]

​@@hurricanemeemAnd all of that hasn't even touched on how Sanya feels about Katya and what happened to her. She got a new little sister in her found family, one that really clearly helped Yura deal with some shit and become a better person, and suddenly Katya is literally taken away and her older brother is directly responsible. And this ultra dangerous plan they're doing could easily end in either Sanya getting Katya back or losing Yura.

[@someoneelse3938]

There is also a conection about the way they react to losing someone. At 0:11 and 3:40 they have the same expression, so it seems they both feel the same about the constant loss of people in their lifes. The thing is that it seems they deal with it in different ways, Sergei tries to protect the little left he has, whilst Sanya (under Yura's influence) is willing to put her life on the line to help those she loves.

[@pelontrix]

ah, yes, ferry continues the trend of having yura be in the thumbnail of sanya's songs, and sanya being in the thumbnail of yura's songs.

[@mailam8846]

except for strike 3, where sergei sings, and convergence where sanya is not in the thumbnail even to it's anya and yura singing

[@doseofanesthesia4272]

idk i dont think strike 3 is a sanya or yura song, its all about sergeis view of the world

[@nicholasagosto7115]

Well think about it sanya is one of the only people he cares about and is vital to him as a person so it makes sense

[@GabRioBlu]

occams razor:

[@awadydariva195]

Under the "Strike 3" video, one person noted how much the events of "The Mill" affect Sergei: his girlfriend could go to jail, his friend is dead, and the person he tried to put on the right path now seems to have gone crazy, and in this episode we can also see that he drags Sergei's sister into his not good business, Sergei loses the only remaining close person, the last part of a family, loses his sister completely and he can't do anything about it..... His look on this moment........ He doesn't have anyone right now, he's alone, he's abandoned.... My heart is broken....... There was a one person's thought, that all this problems are actualy coming from Sergei, like if he haven't been too overprotective, Yura couldn't have such status in Sanya's eyes and things must turn differently. Imagine Sergei understands that.... What weight it would be on him..... Sorry for bad english

[@jackthelarterns675]

he understanded that i'll be like this in strike 3 there's this line that he said he was too austere and in the mill "though i know that one day this weight will come and break my back" he knows that these will backfire him someday but he can't do anything about it he doesn't his sister to be put in risk cuz this world is a cruel place for people like her and he'll keep her safe even though he knows that one day it'll backfire or that's just what i remember

[@horrorspirit]

> walk, sit, and reprise this section is a literal reprise (of strike 3). goddamnit ferry

[@SetoMiga]

This is honestly insane. I’ve never seen such an impressive PV for a song like this, and the song itself is a banger. Seeing Sergei give up was very much heartbreaking as well. I don’t know what to say, this is perfect

[@CR-gh5bp]

That was my first impression, too! He just wants to protect her and he's trying so hard (doing too much in a lot of cases) that to see him give up just made a huge pit in my stomach.

[@unluckyp]

I can't help but feel bad for Sanya and Sergei. After seeing Sanya fight back against him, he realised it was pointless trying to stop her from being as reckless as Yura, instead letting her do what she wants in defeat. And it seems Sanya also partially agrees with her brother's point of view of trying to protect her, or at least can see the reason behind it, which is why she sings the same melody as Sergei and is so unsure when Yura smiles at her.

[@gardynof_eden]

i manually transcribed this all i hope you're happy [That's it?] [That's it.] [Oh well.] Overindulgence in grief is only immature Forgetfulness is both the sickness and the cure Lay your emotion with them Like a mourning wreath I chose to shut my eyes, you chose to bear your teeth Ah What's the point of pushing back against the mill That grinds the world to dust What's the point of picking at your wounds Your scratches, and your scars One would think so I believed so And it was the wiser me But the wiser you knows better But the wiser you is (free) Ah Another apathetic epitaph I think my marble heart is gonna break in half A razorblade, a knife, or a saw That tepid autumn day is starting to thaw So stupid, but I can't help but Laugh I really want to scream "I've had enough" A candle burns another photograph A helpless child, the same as before I grip its neck and reach my hand for the door Playing the world like a toy I think I'm gonna hurl What do you understand? A naive little girl I understand that I still spin and play the same I simply went and gave a new name to the game And I know damn well You cannot trick the system running the machine I'm aware no soul can enter Roam its halls and come out clean And it's like that And I'm like that And I'll always bear this stone "And I'm fine with that" I told her And it chilled her to the (bone) Hey Something about this doesn't seem okay I hear my voice as if it's really far away My shadow darkens under the sun You hold a hand that still remembers the gun Nobody taught me how to pray An instrument I heard so many people play I'm ready to be blinded by the breaking day You'd think by now the chains got undone But I'm afraid of breaking into a run Draw a thousand lines Sometimes I dream, I wish I had the bars to build a cage Loose compromise Where the sun won't set As long as I can set the stage A thousand tries Another circle drawn Another light Another missing page A thousand miles Walk, sit and reprise Your hollow call to the winds of change A thousand times I thought, now Wouldn't it be callous Wouldn't it be strange To meet your eyes Cold and tired eyes With anything but childish rage Now Don't make me laugh I will not read your Lousy epitaph Who do you take me for? I've had enough And I would gladly Break my every bone To have you breathe some more Don't make me laugh I will not read your Lousy epitaph Who do you take me for? I've had enough And I would gladly Break your every bone To have you breathe some more

[@jamthemighty5516]

Thank you !

[@addisewn]

this song is so heartbreaking… like it’s just sanya going “i refuse to let anyone else die” and changing herself to become what she thinks she needs to be to save everyone she loves, even if it puts her in danger. even if she grows apart from her brother. even if she’s drawn further into yura’s plans. she will break bones, both others and her own, to keep her loved ones safe.

[@addisewn]

also all the references to the other songs here??? like the mill at the beginning. omg.

[@addisewn]

@@bromophenolblue see i actually thought somewhat the opposite? since “break my every bone” was said before sanya interrupted sergi and yura’s fight, that one seems more like it could come from sergi than “break your every bone”. i thought it made more sense for “break your every bone” to be from sanya’s pov after she appears on screen. it could also be argued that sanya is hurting sergi with her dangerous ideas too, hence the “break your bones” in a more metaphorical sense. the lines could also be seen as coming from both of them, signaling the beginning of an arch where sanya begins to act more and more like her brother, or at least begin to understand where he’s coming from

[@yahooc5595]

godddd that last shot of sergei is haunting. in that shot with his four companions, all but him are either dead or locked away - and now he's to lose his sister, too.

[@MagicLuckyyy]

Yura’s smile and the look in his eyes is getting more sinister, huh…. Something tells me the situation is going to get worse before it gets better. And it seems Sanya has picked up on this too…

Sanya connecting to Dmitry on an emotional level is so cool. I love that she talked about KT and tried to forge a bond with him, I think that was actually a good call (even if she did it in a reckless way)! Also. Sergei was really about to beat up a teenager. Loved Yura's smug face when Sanya came to his defense. I really liked the lyric "I chose to shut my eyes, you chose to bare your teeth", too. Great work as always Ferry!

[@oakashthornman7834]

To be honest, I don’t blame him. He’s had this conversation so many times with him. He fucked up bad enough that he kicked him out. And he had the gall to come back and ‘corrupt’ the only thing he had left that he loved. I’m not saying it’s good that he was about to, but his motive is compelling.

[@cherrygirlriot4054]

this is absolutely beautiful, feels like we're hitting the peak of these mvs and im jazzed af about it! something i noticed is that its really interesting how your art styles developed, but more specifically, how its developed around yura - i kind of noticed it in Execution, but it feels like youre really unafraid to push his expressions and make him feel more.. well, yura. something's up with that kid, and i feel like you can truly see it in his eyes now.

[@cherrygirlriot4054]

the color palette usage in this is so yummy tasty, and i think its super cool to see sanya find her agency through everything that's happening. seeing her learn to stand her ground and use her anger to change her circumstances is such a good development for her character. i feel like there's this parallel between her anger in false disposition, where she gets angry and knows her anger isn't justified or reasonable, so she takes it out in a useless way. but in this instance, where she feels anger yet again at yura and although feels as though its also not justified or reasonable, she uses it to spur herself into action and speak to dima

[@siaskies1704]

Yura's whole reason for going this far is Katya. He wants to get her back, regardless of the cost. Olya and Dima are acceptable collateral to him as long as he can save her. In Yura's mind, he can do this one thing right. How he gets there doesn't factor into his decision-making process.

As a strike 3 enjoyer I’m screaming at that ending. Do what you want. HE TRIED SO HARD TO SAVE HER IN HIS OWN WAY AND IT WASNT ENOUGHHHH

[@mealsome4450]

I mean tbf, this is all his own fault. If he had tried anything else first in regard to how to deal with Katie, Yura would have not witnessed a girl he viewed as a sibling being taking by the fucking authorities, which would not have pushed him into getting her back no matter the means. Which in turn would mean Sanya would feel less compelled to walk down with him and maybe be more open to some of his reasonings. but noo Sergei knows best

[@GerroCoccoBello]

​@@mealsome4450he, in fact, knows best. I think this is not going to end well, because, even if he makes some mistakes, he's always right. It has been proven a lot of times. But hey, only time will tell and I hope everything's going to be ok, tho I'm not so sure

[@mealsome4450]

@@cellsharp Oh I enjoy Sergej quite a bite. I enjoy him because he's often such a tragic dumbass. a good chunk of his problems, especially in regards to Sanya could have been solved if he just... cared and compromised. Not staying in the rigigd idea that he has to control her life and remove everything that, maybe, potentially, could hurt her. Making her want to get closer to Yura even more und leaving her without a support system that isn't connected to either of them If he cared more about truly understanding, why Yura is absolutely going ape shit and dragging everything and everyone with him, he might have still been able to talk some semblance of sense into him. But instead he just blames the kid for the things that are partially his fault. He's a wonderful tragic character just like everyone else. Also there is a difference between two kids not wanting to be experimented on and running away to protect their life and him being a controllfreak, who at least has some reason to be a control freak, but is still just digging his own grave, by giving like the worst phrased advice a soul could give.

[@mealsome4450]

@@GerroCoccoBello Sergei is right, sometimes, and then tries to phrase that truth to Sanya and Yura in like the worst way possible. if at all that is. He was right that Katie could potentially endanger Sanya by being with her, but only thought of her has a dangerous mutant, not the homeless little sister Sanya and Yura basically adopted. So instead of handling the situation any other way, or even just talking to somebody first (like olga) he just calls the cops and acts all surprised when a whole swat team shows up. Which even if he couldn’t have anticipated, is still the dumbest move he could have pulled in this situation. He escalated a situation that does not need escalation Or the way he raised Sanya. It's true that she needs protection as mutant, but there is a fast difference between that and leaving her without a support system outside him and yura (+his friends) in an attempt to keept everything away from her. He even acknowledged this, he referred to this himself as "these dismal shelter walls" and how he wants to tear them down one day, completely ignoring that day was everyday. To scared as what might happend otherwise. Sergej is a direct contrast to Yura, whose big character flaw is that he's a loose cannon who will try to do things even if the chance of it has barely any chance of succeeding. He so passsive and rigid, that, he won't ever truly act. He will continue the way he's always done and remove anything that threatens the walls he built, not only on Sanya but himself too. He did it with Katie, he now tried it since strike 3 with Yura. But when he realised that he couldn’t do this anymore he gave up. Bro really is the kind of character you just wanna slap and then hug...

[@lambyy]

literally insane over the ending of the video. the way sergei runs after yura in an attempt to protect sanya. the way sanya throws herself at and between sergei and yura to protect yura. the way yura smugly looks at sergei whole sanya protects him as if laughing in his face. they way sergei admits defeat and realizes theres nothing he can do for sanya anymore and he just. gives up and leaves. sanyas face at the end. im really so worried for sanya :(

It creates a great contrast to Convergence (different tempos and moods but you can feel the incoming dread from both of them). I also love the guitar, it really fits Sanya here. And the animation in the end was godly - the anger, the dissapointment, the sadness and Yura's villanous look, everything so incredible. Thanks Ferry!

This is actually raw as hell. The atmosphere and world-building gets DAMN well cemented in this issue, and the music is chilling and a vibe as always. I'm honestly floored, like every time you post I honestly cant think you can get better! But of course, you blow it out of the water every time. The visuals are insane, they fit in such a beautiful and precise way. The animation is fluid, the feelings are volatile, and it's so so gut-wrenching in the best way possible. I cannot think of another artist who has ever had me so invested. Love since Faulty Feline!! Thank you for the normal girl post... Also, whether this is intentional or not, I love the bit at 3:40 that REALLY, fucking blows me away. Sergei looks just like Nikita in the sense that he's truly given up. The emotions in this are just so.. awesome.. you're an amazing story teller.. need a better active vocabulary to express my adoration for this one. Love to see Sanya finally getting what she's always hoped for! And of course, not being too sure and almost disappointed by it.

ferry OH MY GOD. you really outdid yourself with this one. despite the PV frustrations and file corruption, this is BY FAR your best PV yet, and i for one am so happy that i've been able to witness your artistic and musical talent develop, and i hope to continue to do so for many years to come :) -kumo

[@genesisa6458]

WOAH WHEN YOU SAID THE FILE GOT CURRUPTED I WAS EXPECTING ABOTHER 2 MONTHS OR SO WIAT?!!!!!!!! BEST SURPISED !!!!! IT SOUNDS GREAT !!!!!

[@horror-chan6478]

Господи, как я чувствую эти вайбы старшего брата в конце, который уже просто не знает, как ещё этих безумных пездюков защищать, чтоб случайно не прибить их в процессе и просто: да делайте уже что хотите, я устал, я мухожук... (не отрицаю, что возможно он отступил во многом потому что наконец увидел в сестре взрослый стержень, а не детские выпады, и понял, насколько ей важно сейчас настоять на своём, но всё равно, как же блин пробирает). Песня - класс, ритм качает, особенно во второй половине.

[@PanderoK]

Да, песня просто огонь, Сашу можно понять в конце по её взгляду, она вырвалась из клетки, но теперь не знает, что именно ей делать т.к. слишком долго в ней жила и теперь ей надо многое переосмыслить, улыбка Юры в конце вселяет надежду т.к. судя по ней, всё идёт лучше чем он ожидал и это его выражение лица когда Саша его защитила, узнаю в нём себя, когда понимаю, что всё идёт хуже чем расчитывал, но лучше чем ожидал ;D да и то что Сергей решил держаться от этого подальше к лучшему, для него мир слишком быстро поменялся и он попросту не поспевает за ним, да и эта гиперопека над Сашей убивала и его самого, так хоть отдохнёт спокойно ;D

[@ВадимНечунаев-л2о]

Ну, теперь у него близких людей не осталось. Никита умер, Оля в тюрьме, Юра с Сашей вот.

[@user-je8eo]

WOOOO ANOTHER BANGER FROM FERRY🎉🎉🎉 The way you managed to push through despite all the technical difficulties is crazy!! Your MV work is always so beautiful and distinct. Every PAFL episode feels like a cinematic masterpiece and you improve drastically with each song! Its impossible to not love everything you make. Loved this song sm and will absolutely be streaming it nonstop💛💛💛

[@mthestrangepersonontheinte8781]

The art (and music, and everything) is amazing! I love how this song portrays Sanya and her actions after Convergence - the details showing how she has grown to adopt/understand Sergei’s worldview and how her feelings about Yura have changed since False Disposition are so powerful.

[@gabbievee]

This is so beautifully animated. Easily the most amazing thing you have ever made. I have no words

[@snuffypuffs]

CHILLS AT THE MELODY FROM STRIKE 3. i love so much how you always incorporate melodies from your other songs i wanna eat it

[@wolfmoon9862]

Okay so I'm sure half of this might not be related at all and I'm missing half of the others but lyrics related to other songs or that reminded me of other songs: bare your teeth -> makes me think how Yura's "bark harsher than the bite" he's starting to go all out uh *0:36 The mill melody playing on the background what's the point of pushing back against the mill that grinds this world to dust -> THE MILL "Though the haze and through the maw of the grinder(...) In the windmills of this mind" a razorblade, a knife, or a saw -> OCCAM'S RAZOR "It's silly, no, Occam, bring out the saw" + Convergence "run on the edge of the knife" the tepid autumn day is starting to thaw -> STRIKE 3 "A thousand years ago it was a tepid autumn day" + "And in a thousand years I’ll see a tepid autumn day and only think about Its grace" 1:08 Laugh -> OCCAM'S RAZOR "Laugh, surely, you know the moves" Playing the world like a toy I think I'm gonna hurl -> Sergei STRIKE 3 "The world that just wants to play and break you like a toy" What do you understand a little naive girl -> CONVERGENCE "Too naive to run on the edge of the knife" (? I still spin and play the same -> STRIKE 3 "You spin the barrel of a fully-loaded gun" You cannot trick the system running the machine -> (background at 1:48 kinda resemble like the lab files and the cogs from COMFORT ZONE) makes me think of COMFORT ZONE "The only use for a motor not meant to start is to become an expendable part" / LIKE A DOG "I know of pain and devotion A gear in the machine grew immune to corrosion" with the machine symbolism I'll always bear this stone -> CONVERGENCE “Won’t you help me bear this stone?”+ THE MILL "It's getting harder /To act like I don't really care /I'm sorry but these earnest words of yours are just too much to bear" because Sanya/Sergei parallels and them being siblings makes my brain go brrrr (? My shadow darkens under the sun -> STRIKE 3 "Blinded by the sun" + "Laughing, you got off the hook, but you keep dancing in its shadow" + Sanya usually compares Yura with the sun and in the pv she's in his shadow I'm ready to be blinded by the breaking day -> STRIKE 3 "Blinded by the sun" + THE MILL "Right through the arc of breaking dawn" + FALSE DISPOSITION "I couldn't see/Past the bright facade" + "Everything about you screams "a bad idea"/Yet the walls around my sheltered heart/Begin to break and fall apart/Your smile is brighter than the most relentless sun" + PAFL "The party ends at the break of dawn" You'd think by now the chains got undone but I'm afraid of breaking into a run -> THE MILL "I won't let myself lose it again/And now my only hope is that one day you'll understand/I'll wrap the chain/'Round my heart and her hammering neck" which, if I'm not mistaken, was Sergei's part + FALSE DISPOSITION "I won't ever bear my foolish heart (...)The chain has broken, I've no right to feel this hurt" + maybe not that related but PAFL Yura "I always wanted/To feel like I hold my own reins/My future’s on the rails of freight trains, not daisy chains" 2:41 STRIKE 3 music in the background Draw a thousand lines /Sometimes I dream, I wish I had the bars to build a cage (...)+ a thousand tries -> strike 3 "A thousand years" + general reference to Sergei "A day will come, warm and bright, when I tear down these dismal shelter walls" Another circle drawn -> THE MILL Sergei "I'll draw a circle in the sand (...) In a desperate attempt to hold onto your battered hand" The 100 epitaphs title makes me kinda think about how Sergei knew he couldn't keep sheltering Sanya forever and had lines like "this is going to come back for me later" and how in STRIKE 3 he repeats a lot the "a thousand years" lines so even if it's not about him I can't help but think how he finally backed down in this song could be counted as Sanya "losing" another person (not really but) and she has lost a lot of people but Sergei has too (since they are siblings they share some of those loses yknow) and idk makes me feel like even if this song they were pushed further away from each other at the same time you can see how deep down they have their simmilarities . I'm sure I'm reaching a lot with some of this but jsdfha

[@Only_gb77]

I don't know how this video/song gets fewer views than the others, for me it is a pure masterpiece. I don't even need to list all its features, it speaks for itself in every aspect. Thank you Ferry! P.s. the intro has become my new phone ringtone!

[@KelpsWorld]

Likely just because its the the newest with about a year between it and the second newest

[@HexWitchShelby]

I almost started crying when I heard the Strike 3 leitmotif. Both your art and your music has evolved so much, it’s so good!

[@imslurpee666]

VFLOWER WITH YOUR AMAZING SONG? SLAYYYY🔥🔥🔥

[@AnnieMay_1114]

Not me going through each frame to get all the good deats on what is going on....the amount of Yuri being compared to a dead man doesn't feel comfy. If Yuri doesn't die I would be surprised. Like i know the boy is basically suicidal at this point but him being framed in the funeral frames alongside all the other canonically dead characters and then the fade out from the dude I am pretty sure is the brother who got grinded, cut to Yuri standing with the line "im ready to be blinded by the breaking day" really doesn't sit well i've also rewatched it a few times and think maybe when Yuri takes the bat from Sanya they are actually in front of the grinder.....so like...what i'm saying is im pretty sure Yuri is gonna get grinded....

[@ennuidaze]

YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE edit: just finished it and omfg it was so worth the wait, the mv is fucking gorgeous and the music and lyrics are so impactful... the message lost reference was a surprise but i loved it a lot

[@vocabocaa]

I think it’s hilarious that the events wouldn’t have occurred at Three key points regarding KT. 1) If Dmitry didn’t save KT on impulse, he would’ve gotten away safely and lived his life, but would be untrusting of everyone he encounters 2) If KT just stuck with Dmitry and relied on him when they escaped. But then it would have been only them two against the world, with Dmitry preventing KT from making friends out of fear of getting caught. KT’s ability would have also been a liability for him, and resentment towards her probably would have ensued. 3)If Sergei just kept his mouth such, Yura wouldn’t have gone out of his way to rescue KT, and Sanya would still be under his protection and sheltered away from harm. His girlfriend wouldn’t have gotten arrested, and he wouldn’t lose his sister to some shady friend that seems to cause more harm than good. Perhaps KT was right, some things were meant to be contained, and she’s one of them.

[@Oznerock]

Eeeh the implication is Sergei sold KT out to protect Sanya- Yura noticed KT himself. Sergei and him figured it out independently- she's bad at hiding.

[@twilightcadmea]

holy shit ferry you dont miss, how did you make ONE animation of Yuri going from happy to being yelled at and being instinctively angry and rebuking to at the LAST frame him being concerned for sanya(1:29) just SO impressive how much detail you put in

[@thenorwegianbuttercrisisof2011]

Glad to know sanya is a serial experiments lain fan lmao Edit: the other poster is the movie poster for the disappearance of haruhi suzumiya

[@CrazyEyeOptics]

With that warning you gave 3-days ago I thought it was going to take much longer. This was amazing. The art is so smooth I don't know where you had to reanimate. 10/10

[@theeswinkler4998]

1:00 the way he's placed here between all the dead people and the black frame with the ribbon around him kind of implies he's gonna die pretty soon

[@violetthehedgehog7]

THIS GOES SO HARD AAAUAAAAAAAA IM SO EXCITED TO RELISTEN. Love the guitar and the grittier feel to this one!! It’s like more tense than the mill or convergence (which were both very tense songs) but it has these small moments of excitement where things are clearly moving forward in the plot and it’s so freaking cool. AAAAAA!!!! So excited to read the “what’s going on in” doc the second I get the chance.

[@kioweena]

У меня не хватает словарного запаса, чтобы выразить своё восхищение Вашим стилем: от постановки, анимации и вплоть до самой истории, подачи и текстов - всё пробириает до мурашек, и, как факт, ещё час меня не будет отпускать восторг и волнение от увиденного. Мне очень нравится, в каком направлении развивается история, это до дрожи интригует!! А также развитие Саши - просто поцелуй шеф-повара ❤ Видно, что она растёт как личность, и, следуя своему пути, всё больше берёт ответственность за себя, свои решения и их последствия. Если раньше дружба с Юрой, походы на вечеринки и членство в банде(?) было не более подростковым бунтом, сейчас, выйдя против собственного брата, встав на защиту Юры, она перешла своеобразную точку невозврата. Брат сдался, как минимум, на данный момент, и теперь выбор остаётся за одной лишь Сашей: будет она участвовать в рискованной авантюре своего приятеля или предпочтёт остаться в тени, избежав большей части неприятностей. Как мне показалось, Саша в некоторой степени разочаровалась в Юрце, в его методах. На это указывает встреча с Димой, попытка переубедить его своими способами, более мирными. Предвещаю пиздец в будущем, из-за которого Саня с Юрой глобально так разойдутся во мнениях (скорее всего, причиной тому послужат те же Юрины методы решения проблем). Тогда Саша выйдет против его выбора и настанет тотальная аумба вей

[@hotpinklightpinkwhiteorangered]

It feels only like yesterday I was in the beginning of secondary school finding some songs to listen to while drawing… Aahh, Ferry, you’ve come so so far from PAFL’s beginning; your skills not just in art and music but also in musical composition and world building has improved immensely since then! It’s been so fun to see how deeper the story gets with each song (and more confusing… in a good way!) Thank you for making these songs so very much. They helped me through a shitfuckton in my life and they still do. I love screaming the lyrics and dancing like Katya on the dance floor after a long day. (This sounds sappy, but really, I’ve loved each song you’ve produced)

[@hotpinklightpinkwhiteorangered]

Also side note. I would pay good money to have had Sergei actually sock Yura in the face. He just has a punchable face. :)

[@namaeo]

OH MY GOD FERRY?????? HOW ARE YOU THIS GOOD THE SONG IS SO DENSE WITH EVENTS AND IMAGERY IT MAKES ME WANT TO DRAW FANART SO BADLY i should be definitely working on uni stuff but i think ill just play this song over and over

[@hyrancood1205]

Вау. Визуал на новом, восхитительном уровне, эти потрясающие анимации... И сама песня тоже невероятная! Мотив на 2:35 такой же, как в концовке STRIKE 3, но прекрасно сюда вписывается! Спасибо, Ferry

[@Kishiko_Tsubari]

Мне кажется так и было задумано, потому что в конце STRIKE 3 тоже было внимание на Сашу (надеюсь не путаю имена)

[@stasispeach]

​@@Kishiko_Tsubari мне кажется даже не просто на Саню, а на отношения между ней и Сергеем. В STRIKE 3 это были слова Сергея, а здесь - ответ Сани

[@500_]

I don't have enough words to describe how joyful this made me. So much story and production holy crap that must have taken so much effort Ferry thank you so so so much I literally jumped from joy. I will now rewatch this until night time.

[@saphireeyes]

Rewatching this for the third time and I've gotta say, I really missed the focus on Sanya! Things have changed so much since False Disposition... She finally has the freedom she wanted, but will it be worth it? I have no idea of how the rest of this story will unfold, but out of all the characters, I truly hope Sanya comes out of it alive. We already have some hints towards this in the video, but it would be interesting to see Sanya's experiences shape her into an adult more like her brother than she ever wanted to be. Thanks again for your work, Ferry, this series just keeps getting better!

[@craptoppage]

the word rhythm, bounce, whatever you wanna call it on 2:36 shares similarities to 3:17 on The MILL also sharing the same transition, along with lyric references to other songs im pretty sure. been a fan for 4 years or so and gotta tell you i love this sh quick edit: you can also clearly notice ferry’s change in how well her art is drawn and music being more creative and clear (in my opinion the lyrics are clearer) compared to her older creations. I rewatched every music video she made on PAFL excluding message lost and i can tell you this is why i love this sh

[@gigi-f27]

GOD, your production quality increases exponentially with each new installment in this series. it's absolutely insane to think this was all done by a single person. the bits of animation are BEAUTIFUL and add so much life to the mv, and the references to other songs in the series are so well weaved in despite being in entirely different keys at parts. the transition from the STRIKE 3 motif to the outro verse was genuinely chilling hol y shit. incredible work ferry

[@TheWilderCat]

Rereading the Google Doc I realize I forgot about The Hollow. Now I'm extremely concerned about whether Yura remembers where it was. "...Which seems to almost instantly dissolve any anomaly that crosses its border." Doesn't bode well for several of the people he's dragging into this.

[@imthecoolestguyalive]

Oh no.

[@nineparr3110]

…the cube There’s our plot point. They all get there, shit goes down, the cube disintegrates as a metaphor for how all is lost, someone gets captured in exchange for KT, and yura gets another song

[@arkwright819]

oh god, I'm glad I'm alive because I can check out this MV to the fullest I'm definitely glad that Kolya appears here quite often, I'm DEFINITELY glad about that YOUR GUITAR SOUNDS AMAZING IF I CORRECTLY IDENTIFIED WHERE YOU PLAY... this is awesome, not a word more.

[@mnnkaf]

ЭТО ПОТРЯСАЮЩЕ!! Это же сколько сил было вложено, замечательная работа!

[@Gabricat_Kato]

In the 0:29 we can see a panel of the rescue arc from bleach that KT was reading!! interesting how that is actually kinda go to happen in the series when the time for the rescue of her come. The MV is amazing, you did an amazing job telling the story and making the art for it, it actually tells so much without text, thanks for everything and dont give up!!

[@Amelia_Whitevoid]

After that file corruption thing I really didn't expect it to be so early but it is and It's amazing!

[@jackmahoney1001]

Bro, I actually got shivers when Sergei reeled back to pinch Yura. This song is so cool!! So happy for the new part!

[@elboy69]

Ferry i am literally going insane your art is so pretty

[@KabexFeetFungus]

[@Zenala]

Ferry, I've been following ever since the Faulty Feline Philosophy days and I can only say that your drawing and composing skills just have grown expontentially since then. Your PMV's compositions are stunning, everything flows so well, the color choices are beautiful, and every time you animate a scene I'm actually flabbergasted. Your character's stories are so interesting too, I love that you give enough info for us to catch up what's going on, but leaves some mysteries for us to discover and be hyped for the next one. You're insane for doing this all on your own, and all out of passion for your characters and story. You are mad skilled and I love seeing your content.

[@xoderota]

Oh I just realized..... The way Sanya holds Sergei back. Kinda similar to the way he hold her back when they came for KT...... Idk how intentional it is but augh I am Feeling

[@AaronKeer]

Ferry never misses with their songs. absolute legend

[@oakashthornman7834]

Okay, I don’t have much to add, but I found a small detail I like! After Serg gives up and says “Do what you want” It cuts to him with a small halo light behind him, the rest shrouded in dark. Kinda symbolizes her last light going away with him. Crazy heart breaking

[@EvilDevil0]

Эта история это именно то, что я готов слушать и изучать до 4 часов утра понедельника, когда скоро надо на работу. Я и близко не пожалел, что переслушал и прочитал док истории от начала и до конца. Хочу еще!

[@jansila6005]

Merely thinking about how much work this must have taken almost makes me feel dizzy lmfao. The characters and plot are as utterly fantastic as the music, great piece once again.
