    I love this simple but impactful story telling! I felt exactly what the character was feeling, and it was put together so well!

    The way she just wiped that makeup on reminds me of Mulan and how she wiped off all of that makeup in that one scene
  • @FredGunning
    This looks awesome! I love how the different scenes transition, and especially how it starts, it's really creative and that's awesome!
  • Jesus, every video of yours, simply make my day. Wonderful work. The way the animation starts is just CLASSY! LOVE IT!
  • @L.clayton.
    I love the beginning with how the door opens, it's so short yet so well put together TwT
  • @xiaokeji2493
    Just wanted to say your art and animation are amazing! I animate with After Effects and I admire how smooth frame by frame animation works. So much effort went into it.

    this is so cool!! i just found your channel and am binge watching everything from start to finish. i think this is my favourite so far from the super cool start with just the lines to the music and how you could /feel/ your character power up

    Short and sweet (and a little spooky)! Love the colours in this sequence, they works so so well together!
