  • At long last an animation has been finished! Spoilers for C2E115!
    Thank you so much to all of my supportive patrons and supporters. I will probably only come out of hibernation to animate a Beauyasha kiss or somethin.
    Cheers!

    The letter moment in and of itself was a beautiful scene to watch amongst the crew. The way Ashley read the letter, and everyone listened in to what was unfolding. Marisha had her reaction once the letter was done, and then the episode continued.
    This is a point of why animation is better at doing character emotion than live-action in my opinion. While you are able to do a flashback in live-action, you can see the detailed expressions that you would with animation. The scene already invoked tears, but this has done so tenfold. Well done.
