Holostars 5th Anniversary Tribute (ANIMATIC VER.)

!! This project is incomplete! Please look forward to the final animation in the future~ !!
Hey Starmin, Tempura, Armada, and everyone else! Over the last few months, between work, life, and other obligations, I've been slowly working on this video project. I initially set out to make a fully realized animation, but found delays hitting me hard. Still wanting to dedicate something to Holostars for their 5th anniversary, I decided to compromise by uploading my animatic for now!
It's a bit rough around the edges, and I hope to better tie down a lot in the final animation, but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless.
I first got into Holostars in July 2021, not long after the OG9 released their first original song "Just Follow Stars", thanks to my best friend introducing me to Arurandeisu during the infamous "aoupa" arc. I found myself more frequently keeping him on as I worked through my (at the time) draining job, and before I knew it I was hooked on him and all the Stars.
Since then I've seen Holostars grow to double the scale, welcoming UPROAR!!, TEMPUS, and ARMIS (and I've felt my first graduation heartbreak too. Miss you, Ves). I hope that fans new and old can continue to cheer them on, and that the boys still with us continue to love what they do.
Audio is star river by IOSYS, an arrangement of Emotional Skyscraper ~ Cosmic Mind from Touhou 12: Undefined Fantastic Object, created by ZUN/Team Shanghai Alice.

Disney has been really quiet since this dropped 🗣️🗣️🗣️❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@anatello5653]

This looks like a perfect Holostars anime opening, its so cute

[@TythenK]

It looks really amazing so far! And touching too (especially with Kira, Kaoru, Suzaku, Magni, Ves and Shinove)! Can't wait to see it in full colour!

[@dustycoal183]

I like how Uproar is scared to fall while Rio doesn't give a care. And I love the addition of Tempus at the end! Great animatic. I hope for a bright future for your endeavors!
