Beautiful work. A great depiction of our desperate, frenzied struggle against the inevitable, and how we believe Death to be cruel and evil, when in reality it can also be compassionate.
the desperate rage is so well done
[Yap session and TL;DR below] To be honest...same...this is how it went for me the only difference is i was about to turn twenty when my Dad passed away back in 2018...i wanted to find something someone to justify a deep anger i still feel not of hate...it is everything negative...i let my sadness and all the big and little things all mix I let myself become a straight up beast attacking everything wanting something or someone to blam but in the end...it was his time...the inner kid in me wanted him to stay i was mad he could no longer physically be with me, he lived his longest...heck as of this comment in 2026 he would have been 80 years old....i accpeted he had to go, at least he didnt have to go through 2020....yeah that would have been waay worse at least i got to say bye...not talk though none of that...he slept like nothing and as soon as i slept beside him...he left like how he snuck out not wanting ti disturb me, my mom and my niece from sleeping Sorry for the yap session, God Bless, love you Dad always Tl:dr: i had my own version of what this girl went through with my Dad and relaye with the hostility and sadness to accepting death
The death of a loved one is so fking unfair. Especially a parent/guardian. I remember being in survival mode caring for my sick mom at the end of her life. And it feels so much like this. The resent towards the looming of what's coming. Fighting tooth and nail with doctors, nurses, her own sickness, and inevitability. Being hyper vigilant for days in the hospital, and then they have that brief moment of being lucid before they're gone. You're glad for their peace. But you're left exhausted, incredibly hurt, and forever lost.
well done, we really felt the character emotions
Death comes for us all, and though it is scary and painful in many ways the peace it brings can be beautiful. That said, that kid does kick the shit outta that guy so idk maybe we can live forever
Man but that kid can fuckin' throw down yo. Like she got hands fr fr.
Primal blind rage, a state so strong it overrides one emotion, pure uncontrollable fury, shuts down any form of thinking, and the only thing left is pure wrath in human form, that child was moving like DBS Broly, holy shit and the way she tore the limb of that being by biting it, not only she was moving like Broly but also Like Eva-01 when it's in berserk mode
I'm speechless
I can feel all the emotions and intensity Great work 🔥
I'm not sure but nice animation. almost black and dark, but beautiful. Her gran takes Death's hand and gone at will...? it tells like everyone wants to avoid death, though It's necessary. Some scene was horrible, but Death's smile mask seems to be there for not to terrified mortals. Thank you.
Very interesting and thought provoking portrayal of Death great job to evwryone who worked and helped produced this animation 👍
It's a sad story, and somehow, I don't know the right word, it's pleasant. I liked how they showed a dark entity that wasn't trying to cause harm. There's some symbolism there.
This boy’s emotions really hit home for me. Having gone through something similar, I can truly feel his pain. It’s such a beautiful and profound piece of work. Thank you so much for this.
this is really well done damn
Just incredible! The action is top tier and the expressions are perfection. Thank you so much for this art <3
Grandma grabbed her hand because she didn’t want her granddaughter’s anger become hate
Боже это отлично, я думаю заслуживает большего внимания и аудитории, построено великолепно. Кстати, а что за маской?
ok now tell us the animation process bro so that we can too create own own story
Guau estupenda animation solo que me quede confundido por el final
