Is no one going to talk how genius it is that Jon didn't need his glasses after the coma?? Stunning.

[@Artyphex]

That moment where it transitioned from the fire of the Unknowing to Jon's heartrate monitor was a religious experience

[@Raghhhhhhg]

“But little do we know the stars welcome him with open arms” being Martin accepting Jon has me FLOORED

[@melodypond4457]

When Tim hitting the switch lined up perfectly with the word Dead right after the porcelain face I died with him

[@lilyminer9164]

What a masterpiece, also I love the fandoms draw to have Jon’s hair length directly correspond to his character arch 😂

[@Moonsong227]

God i love when people depict finale Jon as eldritch in some way and this one with the wings and the shadows and the cryptid glowing eyes and then Martin running to him is just

[@Solmenon]

I just noticed that the lyrics "When I'm ready I will fly us out of here" comes up during the worm conversation between Jon and Martin, and at the end Jon grows wings and kinda literally flies them out of here. That's amazing

[@Kingkent1207]

Damn, I was not expecting this song to be a good fit for TMA but those lyrics literally describe the events of the scene three finally and perfectly captures the struggles with loneliness that Martin and John both have. Well done.

[@delaneyheil9575]

Goodness, I'm a sucker for animation that matches to rhythmic beats, and this song is

[@melshinta2966]

THIS IS INCREDIBLE. And to have it circle back at the end to early Jon is somehow more heartbreaking than just leaving it T-T

[@ASCZPictures]

This is such a perfect love letter to the series.

[@theoriginalWiREP]

This is SO good. The animation is ON POINT--especially at the season 3 finale parts, your use of color is great, and how you keep switching between animation and stills and a combo of both is amazing!!! This is definitely one of my favorite TMA animatics!

[@angelblack3]

Absolutely amazing! that last shot of Jon smiling at the audience and clicking off the tape recorder before going Elsewhere made me choke back tears. Thank you!

[@immortalperson314]

Your style???? your character desgins????? jon with eye wings??? that ending?? everything about this is so beautiful thank you

[@thetasteofsunshine]

okay i gotta say: the composition of this is absolutely gorgeous, with so many words lining up perfectly with the story (like "die" with tim's explosion followed directly by john's heartrate monitor, not the only one i noticed, but definitely the one that made me cry the most). i kept rewinding

[@Rasiar]

It's such a little thing, but the way the music lined up with the push pins in the conspiracy board just zing up my spine. There's a dozen moments where the music and the animation synch up and just sucker punch me, the heart monitor, the eyes popping open at

[@occudo2567]

I just finished Magnus yesterday, and I put off waching this because of spoilers till now, but my god this is brilliant. I'm just started to cry in front of my cereal. I have no words to express how much I like this video.

[@romansejnoha9121]

I’ve got to say, the lyrics from

[@heidiandre4993]

This is my comfort animatic. All of the frames match with not only the song but give nods to the story. The transitions are amazing. There are no words that could describe how I feel about this animatic.

[@Mysterious_Chaos_Wolf]

I know this was posted 2 years ago but I’d just like to say that this is incredible and if you still read these comments I’d love to see it completed.
