[@chlistens7742]

of all the animators i think GIGI is my favorite. I assume you are working by a list. but if you are not be sure to check run times on the videos because sometime there are unfinished versions out there. not a spoiler but 3rd song of underworld please use GIGI's it is the best

[@MesoJoe]

Personally I don't hold gigi's 4th ocean and 3rd thunder song as favorite versions of those animatics but every other animatic from them has been a homerun

[@MikkiElle]

Not So Fun Fact: In the Odyssey, they tell you how close Odysseus and his crew were to being home. They could SEE Ithaca clearly from where they were, the people on the island could see the ships approaching and know it was their fleet. They were literal feet away from home when the bag was opened and everyone in Ithaca saw the storm that blew them away.

[@BGTitanAvatar]

Gigi is a queen of animatics. She’s made some of my absolute favorites for this series. I love how she portrays Aeolus. Speaking of, Aeolus is voiced by Kira Stone I believe and she’s perfect. Aeolus is usually portrayed as a male god but Jay had open casting for the parts and picked Kira. We love him for it.

[@icemagiciangh]

Have you seen Mircsy’s? It’s really good. Everyone really popped off with their Aeolus designs, but Mircsy’s is super cute.

[@twiingeneticist1417]

You'll find out in the next song

[@gasaiyuno9608]

We have to wait a week until the next song ?! Oh boi this is going to be a tough wait 🥹

[@colt1903]

"ODYSSEUS OF ITHACAAAAA!!! ... _Do you know who I am?_ " Ody: "Eh-hah-hah~... I'm in danger.😅"

[@xivettex3493]

Gigi animated The Horse and the Infant and Just a Man in the Troy saga, they’re amazing! I’d recommend going back and watching the animatics for those at one point. I’m biased so I would also recommend watching Gigi’s Ruthlessness!

[@Stephanie-rc6pg]

Second that recommendation for the next one

[@wynnefox]

Man, IF ONLY he switched off with Eury. Surely after his talk with Eury showed he can trust the guy. :D

[@colt1903]

Funny thing is? If he showed the guy that amount of trust, he most likely would have kept the bag from being open. Moral of the story? Ody didn't guilt trip his crew enough. 😂

[@rulab]

Whoa...this song was EPIC (haha I'm so funny.) The vocals and lyrics were just incredible! I think this might be my favourite so far! Thank you both for reacting! We love to see it! #HerdLove

[@GFel]

Great reaction as always! For the next song, you really can't go wrong with AnniFlamma's, NealIllustrator's or Gigi's animatics. I'm partial to AnniFlamma's, but they're all amazing. Also, I know it's a bit far in the future, but definitely seconding the person who recommended Gigi's animatic for the third song of the Underworld saga!

[@sorinamarcu5357]

Guys I really really reccomand you guys to go with Neal Illustrator for animation. Love gigi and anneflama, but neal is also very very good for the next song (and i like it a little more than the other 2)

[@blueteller]

Awesome reaction! I know you'll probably watch the next animatic also by Gigi, and it's awesome, but I would be really happy if you guys were willing to see AnniFlamma's version. It's just my personal opinion, but it's better for a first time watch. I'll call it a little more.... dramatic lol

[@area52ron]

Not only are they giants but they’re man eating giants and Poseidons grandchildren

[@jsmalls911]

The next song in the saga, is one of the best ones In the entire show (Ruthlessness)!!!! I strongly recommend using Gigi's animatic also!!!!

[@SunSlayerKD]

Personally I'm hoping for AnniFlamma's most, with Neal's second. Gigi's is still amazing though.

[@area52ron]

Fun fact crew member with the deep voice is voiced by Zues’ voice actor

[@area52ron]

At this point Telemachus is 10 years old and Odysseus doesn’t know what he would look or sound like which is why you can’t really hear Telemachus voice and why his face is scribbled out

[@TheLeafcuter]

ohhh its gonna be painful waiting for the ruthelessness reaction now xD

[@area52ron]

“How did they know” How do you think? 👁️

[@katiefox3259]

If I’m not mistaken, I believe Jay has said the line “go the distance” was an unintentional but not unwelcome coincidence! 😊

[@raiderblader2038]

Yeaaaaaah, Surrrre, Trust Eury with the bag... Great idea :3

[@area52ron]

The thing is if Eurylacus hadn’t spoken against Odysseus then he would have trusted him in helping taking turns to keep the bag closed Or pretend to go to sleep then kill the person who tries to steal it to make them an example to the rest but that’s not who Odysseus is

[@area52ron]

Fun fact the flute is a wind flute 😏

[@area52ron]

The thing they were in eye sight of their Home Ithica but the crew got impatient and opened the bag causing them to be blown back in a huge storm miles away from home his mother saw this and thought her son had perished and decided to reunite with him…

[@jordanNCM]

The What saga continues! I love this song and Gigi is such an incredibly talented artist.

[@jenjoiii]

Kira Stone is the one who voice wind God Aeolus! And I can assure you that if there's any new character, it always is a new singer. (Except for polyphemus and the Winions and some other minor monsters of course haha) I love your reaction so much, especially with both of you two together. It was better to have many perspectives more than one. Next song's going to be bop. Can't wait for your reaction!!

[@Stephanie-rc6pg]

Gigi also has a ruthlessness which is the next song. It's a continuation of keep your friends close.

[@rhov-anion]

I love how for the wind god, they use woodwinds and wind chimes. So musically brilliant. When Panda heard "Land of the Giants," her face showed what everyone who knows the Odyssey feel. "Oooooooh no, oh no, oh no." Sadly, while so many animatics for the next song are AMAZING, very few animatics show the Laestrygonians, although the background singers are supposed to be them. Then again, the person who shows up is pretty HUGE and terrifying on his own.

[@jdstaton4677]

I won't say much ... I just wanted to say ... at the very end ... look at what is rising out of the water... that might give you a clue for the next video...

[@beanixwarrior]

fun fact! in the actual odyssey, when ody wakes up to his men opening the bag the first thought he has is that he wishes he could drown himself in the storm. but then he pulls himself back together and remembers penelope

[@lizlilliman3644]

Jorge made a short video saying that Odysseus isnt awake for 9 days and he falls asleep just before the for 9 days. They do get close but he has gallen asleep.

[@ruthrogers1711]

I am screaming! Ooooh, I cannot wait to see you do the next one. It is gonna hit like a ton of bricks, but it’s also one of the most popular, so be ready. Beyond that, you guys are really perceptive, and caught a lot of the little details really well. J does so well incorporating themes from other songs like n a way that absolutely makes sense, and I love it. Thank you for taking us with you on this journey. 🥰

[@karma_pup]

Fun fact: this is the first time in the musical we get to hear the voice of Telemachus, singing 'Keep your eyes open' in duet with Penelope. :D

[@Zepherl1]

If you ever get confused on why they say land of the giants. The next song is suppose to have a specific type of giant sing back up to the main singer. Most animatics don't have them cause something more important on screen.

[@chelseabrown3533]

I love this song so much!!!

[@MewDenise]

Yupp, they were on the horizon of their home

[@winstonpham4809]

A bit of desync but it works

[@aaliyahclark3557]

You need to do gigs animation for the next one

[@coleedgerly5666]

I realy hope they do Anniflamma's Ruthelessness. It just hits so hard on a first reaction

[@DreadKing2028]

Gigi has the besth ruthlessness animatic by far

[@Emmet0223]

Nah Anniflammas is better

[@HellIsForeverWithInfinite]

It would be nice to not compare them, every one of them puts effort into their animatic

[@Emmet0223]

@@HellIsForeverWithInfinite I agree, I'm not saying Gigi's is bad but I prefer Anniflamma's and saying Gigi's is better "by far" feels like a stretch

[@area52ron]

The thing is if Eyrylacus hadn’t spoken against Odysseus in front of the crew he would have trusted Eurylacus with helping keeping the bag closed Or he could have pretended to sleep then kill the first person who tries to steal the bag to make them an example to the other crew but that’s not who Odysseus is

[@icemagiciangh]

This is where the idea of “Winions” began. Wind minions= Winions. The idea then spread to that being the name of the Lotus Eaters as well, and that’s how we got here. We are the Winions. Happy to finally be able to tell the full story without spoiling 🩵

[@MrSmile078]

I believe that Jorge confirmed that the Lotus Eater are actually lost Winions that got addicted to the lotus fruit so they never returned to Aeolus domain.

[@lizlilliman3644]

I can't wait until we get merch as jay said plush winions.
