The Ballad of Mari | OMORI Animatic

WARNINGS: Omori spoilers, implied hanging, death.
I thought this song was very fitting for Mari. When I saw the sequence with the lighthouse where she sees the defiled family photo and thought nothing much of it, and THEN have the scene later be followed by Mari's spirit taking over, I was intrigued to explore more of Mari's sentience in Headspace, over what happened, over life beyond Headspace, etc.
What if she found out more than she should have?

did you catch Something in sunny's eye? :)

[@kat1652]

1:53 SOMETHING is in his eye…. oh my god all these meticulous details are amazing 😭

[@ChimeraLotietheBunny]

Hits so hard

[@LittleFlowerful]

That slippery bastard…

[@EchoDrawsThingss]

THIS GOES SO HARD?? THIS SONG MATCHES HER SO WELL AND YOUR ART STYLE IS ABSOLUTE EYECANDY.

[@emoreo]

RIGHT ?? its a VERY mari song, and THANK YOU SM !!

[@yay29823]

I have always hoped for someone to make this. The Ballad of Jane Doe is so perfect for Mari. I love you for this 😭

[@emoreo]

AWWW THANK YOU !! your wish came true

[@bitt3rsweettt]

TWO OF THE BEST THINGS COMBINED TOGETHER INTO ONE?!?!??!? FUCK YEAH

[@emoreo]

YEAAAHH WOO !!!

I CRIED A LITTLE OH MY GOD

[@emoreo]

OH NOOOO offers u a tissue

[@Manic_Mania1900]

BRO THIS WAS WILD AND AWESOME. When I saw Kel, Hero and Aubrey’s reactions to Mari, I had to play it back 3 times, and pause it to just take in those shots. That was wild. WELL DONE! 👑👑👑

[@emoreo]

OHHH THAT MEANS A LOT TO ME 🥺 im so happy you enjoyed it !!! that shot of the three's reactions was really fun to draw, i love drawing pained expressions

[@Manic_Mania1900]

I WAS WONDERING WHY I HADN'T SEEN THIS B4! IT COMBINES MY TWO SPECIAL INTERESTS OMG OMG.

[@emoreo]

its a little niche but target audience still reached 💪💪

[@Rori_Does_Arts]

MY JAW IS ON THE FLOOR. THE EXPRESSIONS? THE USE OF THE VOCALS TO CONVEY MARI'S FALL? THE "AND FROM THE GROUND BENEATH MY FEET" BEING USED TO SHOW HER SPIRIT SEPARATING FROM HER H@NGING BODY?? THE ART ITSELF? THE PAN FROM OMORI TO MARI WHEN ITS TALKING ABOUT JOHN AND JANE DOE? ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE 👏👏👏

[@emoreo]

AHHHH THANK YOUU SM

[@rpcsa8]

Commenting to boost! This is so beautifully an dproffesionallyc rafted. Unironically could be a stroyboard from an official studio 😭 I love how there’s still a slight messiness in the lines, OHHHHHH THE WAY YOU TRANSITION BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT WORLDS, SO COOL!!! 0:48 MARI’S SPIRIT APPEARING WITH THE DW CHILDREN BECAUSE TECHNICALLY THEIR PAST SELVES “died” WHEN MARI DIED… 0:58 Love the hands here 🥰 I don’t kmow if they’re the real chords, but very cool! 1:52 This is obviously meant to reference the photograph where RW Mari is pusshed down by Sunny. However the way she spreads her arms in front of DW Mari… You could either interpret this as her shielding DW from the truth of her death or RW Mari attempting to preserve the dream. Even Sunny’s own memories are fighting against the truth. Not to mention this is followed by the ad lib of “And I’m asking why, Lord?! If this is how I die, Lord…” 2:24 “A choir never complete,” the loss of Mari, the loss of an older sister, the loss of a lover, the loss of a friend. 2:33 “A song that no one knows,” Sunny and Basil stand over Mari’s body, hands locked the same way their pinkies promised to never tell what happened after piano practice. 2:30 “Just John and me, forever eternally just Jane Doe,” John Doe and Jane Doe are names given to unidentified bodies in America. After the incident Sunny and Mari have lost their sense of self, Sunny literally and Mari figuratively. Just like previously stated, their past selves died when Mari died.

​@@emoreonp, I just hope you do make more mari angst since she is so underrated. My fav character. I wish she lived

[@emoreo]

@@ishikaroychowdhury7936 i agree !! like the whole story may center around her but specifically her Death and the idea of her character, and not necessarily her true character as a whole, which is good for the narrative omori takes for its writing but also a shame for ppl who wanna learn more abt maris character like us
