Well now I’m crying non stop on a Sunday :D

Madison Lenyk

NOOOO YOU CANT DO THIS TO ME!! His MOM WAS THERE! 😭

Spoonay

I'm fine. I'm totally fine. I'm so fine right now. 🫠

Capri Snowfall

Thank you for kissing that brick so beautifully before you hurled it at us. This is both beautiful and just heartbreaking.

Kaeko-tri

Holy shit...yep I needed those tissues. Wow. Oof. Gonna lay down now.

Addi_Le

I genuinely love how this animatic showed the gravity of Ody’s choice, I love him walking through the crowd, AND THE BABY SOUNDS OH MY ZEUS I CAN’T

Andres

Me? Crying? Never. That’s just… allergies 😭

Stinky Rat

STOPPPP HOLY CRAP I GOT CHILLS

Remy

😭 This is perfect and heartbreaking!

Basil

Im not crying your crying 😭

Hue-An Tran

Hey, Neal, quick question, why'd you make the baby so DAMM CUTE????

LavendersBlues

First of all: Ow, my heart. Second of all: The ominous thunder at the end in the heavy silence also really gets me, reinforcing Zeus' hand in Odysseus' choice without absolving him of it. (Especially after that eagle flying over his head into the sky....)

Scarlet_Lily

HOLY CRAP THST WAS SOOOO GOOOD!!!!! The mouth movements! The mother! The troops KNOWING what their captain has to do!!! Amazing!!!

Rose Amor

I love this song because of the harsh reality it gives, but the noises from the baby, the look of the soldiers, and the tears of the mother, is more than enough to add to the trauma. I love it, but I don’t think I’ll be able to listen to this song again with out hearing a baby. 10/10 No Notes!

Just had to twist that knife when you stabbed me with it didnt you? /lh gods you know how to put so much emotion in these i love it

Christina Rodriguez

Neal... Neal I'm at work. You can't have me crying right now. 😭 Watching Hector's wife crying and reaching for her son knowing his fate was heartbreaking. Zeus being in the background making sure Odysseus goes through it. Not even caring the choice was a heavy burden of him to do.

VeroValzer

You recommended a buddy and tissues and, despite listening to this song and watching several other animatics of this song, I *still* wasn't ready. 😭 Adding in the baby cries, giggles, cooing, and other noises was diabolical and Ody's empty hands and howling wind from the top of Troy's walls was the finishing blow. 💔🥲 All that to say: WELL DONE! HOLY MOLY! So many little details, one of which I caught on first watch being a bird overhead that I went "Is that...?" only for what I assume to be Zeus in eagle form (or an eagle sent as Zeus' emmisary of sorts?) being directly shown seeing as how much of a role he played in the song prior to this one. Just!!! BRAVO! 👏👏👏 Thank you so much for your hard work and continuing to share your art, overall talents, and vision for this musical with all of us! 💖✨️

while im on the clock is insane, amazing work as always HEHE

I love how the soldiers show so much respect to Astyanax. They know what needs to happen, but that doesn't mean they have to revel in it.

OOOOF A PUNCH TO THE FACE/GUT.MY FEEEELINGS

Milo Bee

I don't have words for what an amazing artist you are. Your work inspires me so much and I'm so glad I get to enjoy it. I don't have words for how absolutely stunning this and every other animatic you've done are, how visually gorgeous they are or how much more visceral you make the songs with your original and creative story telling that adds so much deeper meaning to all of the characters.

Lialical

Oh my heart…

Marina

Well, that was devastating. Thanks Neal

Chu Wraites

Oooh that was a gut punch to the feelings, the added baby sounds, the way you focused tightly on the visual of just Odysseus and the baby for most of it, SAYING FORGIVE ME TO HIS MOTHER AS HE CARRIES HER BABY TO DIE, covering him like a shroud only for him to waken and not make it nearly so easy for Odysseus as it would be to look away from a sleeping child, and then - FUCK showing his empty hands. FUCK.

Carolinia

Man... I was expecting the punch to the gut but I was not expecting it to punch that hard. Your work is great as always.

Pumkin

THE BABY SOUNDS NEAL

Akai

I got way too excited to see Zeus eagle.

Saw this notification pop up on my phone and immediately heard Mortius' voice screaming your name in my head xD I really really love Odysseus doing a walk for little baby Astyanax, and the other soldiers all being included just like they are in the song!! Polites wanting to save the infant but Eurylochus stopping him. The "forgive me" part being aimed at the baby's mother was sooo clever (and GUT-WRENCHING) but what actually got me to cry was the baby's last little giggle/flail as it woke from being covered up and the devastating silence that followed ;-;. Anyways, I basically said all that to say thank you for ruining my freshly applied eyelash serum lol. 20/10, definitely watched again!!

Kaitlyn

I'm starting to think any time an animator wants to do "Just A Man", Zeus whispers into their ears and goes, "make the baby cuter, make them suffer" because there's no reason why I'm so torn about something that I've seen a million times over. Anyway, thank you Neal for such a gut wrenching animatic I'm gonna go cry in a corner.

Kaiya

Amazing as always Neal, I wasn't expecting the baby to make sounds or the mother to appear and reach out to her kid. You truly made me cry watching this

Coyote

I cried all the way through and for about ten minutes after.

Nightshade1217

That final segment had me in tears and just the silence and the wind at Odysseus seems that his hands are empty. GOSH DARNIT NEAL THE DETAILS (the flash to baby Telemachus, the crying mother, the horse plush and the babys sweet laughter 😭 )

LouVenoct

NOOO NEAL YOU CANT DO THIS TO ME… NEAL HAS BECOME THE MONSTER (RAWR RAWR RAWR)

Spideralley

Very well done. Did this really happen in the odyssey or illiad

awesomegg

That was beautifully tragic The safety baby Hector felt, Odysseus‘ pained expressions, Hector‘s last movements and Ody opening his eyes because it was too hard to witness 😭 Great job Neal!

likamakil

got me crying in public transit, Neal OMFG 😭

CatWantsFood

This isn't what I wanted to wake up to 😭. It's amazing and probably the best so far but not how I like to start off my day

Von

The sound effects make it more heartbreaking 💔 😢 Bravo you've done it again 👏 👏👏👏

VioletInTheNight

The baby noises make it so much worse bc when you listen to the song it’s just Ody singing and it’s not hitting. But then you add in the baby noises and the crying and the babbling and suddenly it hits harder than Polyphemus making pancakes

MatchaLily

Well I'm glad I wasn't wearing makeup. Neal why must you make me cry my own tears.

Aqueous Mutivity

Well that was awful in the most beautiful way

Neo

the wind noises at the end over the final panel... ouhhhgghhh...

Jacob Johnson

Wonderful and a great gut punch.

Grayerskys

This is heartbreaking. Amazing job
