Does anybody want to have pancake at the *club*? Nhbdjeuifsefl...!
Jokes aside, I hope this animatic lives up to the EPICNESS of this song. Ooo- How do you like my Polyphemus design? I decided to make something reeeaally differrent from the usual because artistic freedom I guess.

Lyrics written by Jorge Rivera-Herrans
My brothers
The rest of our fleet
They wait at the beach
And if we're defeated
They're good as dead
Straight ahead
That is who we're fighting
No backup
No chance for support
So draw out your swords
Our foe must be thwarted
Right here and now
Show me how
Great is your will to survive
Six hundred lives at stake
It's just one life to take
And when we kill him
Then our journey's over
No dying on me now
Defeat is not allowed
We must live through this day
So fight, fight, fight
Surround him (Surround him!)
Attack from behind
Keep distance in mind
And stay in his blind spot
And strike his heels (Strike the heels!)
Show him that we're deadly (Ha! Ha!)
Exhaust him (Exhaust him!)
Don't let him get close
He's strong but he's slow
He can't land a blow if we're out of reach
Find a breach
Stand up and fight for your lives
Six hundred lives at stake
It's just one life to take
And when we kill him
Then our journey's over
(Push forward) No dying on us now
Defeat is not allowed
We must live through this day
So fight, fight, fight!
Captain
Enough
He's got a club
He's got a club
What are our orders?
Captain
Captain!
You've hurt me enough
Six hundred lives I'll take
Six hundred lives I'll break
And when I kill you
Then my pain is over
You're dying here and now
Escape is not allowed
You won't live through this day
Now die
Die-i-i-ie
Okay that's all for now. Bye!

Don’t forget to check the description! You might find answer to your question :D Also if you wonder where Eurylochus got his spear out of nowhere...well...EPIC is inspired by video games soooo...Inventory??
I can't stress enough how creative your design for poly is just like how you gave athena wings you threw away mythical accuracy for something completely creative yet still fitting for The characters which is amazing thanks for The great work
You can say that this is an... epic reasoning 😎
I love you musicals but can u add lyrics in the descriptions or commnets when you post them? I know English but still I have issue about understanding lyrics w/ my ears :D
@@BerkcanCillov I keep this in mind, thank you for letting me know🙏
That Polyphemus design is SO EPIC!! Absolutely terrifying, but definitely upped the sense of urgency and danger throughout the entire animation
The fact that Captain Odysseus uses Captain Levi's signature move just gets me every time! Lol
Attack on titan 😂
That was my first thought too
And that glare as well.
The song remainds me on AoT too😅
Levi would have killed it with that
The expressions, the complete mood shift when polites is killed, the fact that polites doesn't fight but is running around helping people, the lotus eater there, the way you showed Hector's son at "it's just one life to take" l, The cylcops THE FREAKING CYCLOPS, is there anything about this that isn't perfect?!
EXACTLY!! Something I find fascinating is the that Polities doesn’t get eye glints until the very end, it’s all confined to his glasses. There’s also the fact that Polyphemus kills the only one who wasn’t actively fighting him first, it really adds this layer of callousness to his character.
Only one thing about it isn’t perfect… IT NEEDS MORE VIEWS!
@@ProjectDT88 Ahw🥹🙏
the only thing that isn't perfect is that it isn't longer than 3:15
Fun fact, Polites actually doesn't die during the cyclops in the original myth. He lives long enough to get to Circes Island and convince Odysseus to leave Circe. He most likely died during Scylla or the thunder bolt that Zeus strikes Odysseus's ship
The flash of Hector's son at "just one life to take" is so genius and an unexpected gut punch on top of an already tragic song. Also the cyclops' design is amazing!
wait it hectors son the bald guy
@@xanoriana No, the infant.
The gasp I gasped when I saw that part! It totally was so unexpected and beautiful
@@yinyang452 wonder if Odysseus thinks that the deaths of his men and his years away from home is penance for his atrocities in Troy.
@@foolslayer9416 Jorge gave Odysseus the motif "when does a man become a monster?" that occasionally plays either in the background or the choir sings to hint throughout the journey that all the deaths have taken a toll on Odysseus, and it first happens when Poseidon finds him, right after letting Polyphemus live. It's really well done, and you see the man become a monster so he can return home.
1. I expect to see Polites greet a club with open arms (Greet a club with open arms) 2. The design of the cyclops is amazing 3. The evil looking designs when Ody and crew were going to head into fight is awesome Overall, this entire thing is super cool and I haven't even watched it all
HELP NOOO THE FIRST ONE
I WANT APOLOGY WITH TEARS FOR THE FIRST ONE
GHFHFGFHF #1 ON YOUR LIST-
APOLOGY VID WITH TEARS, NOW
NAH YOU DIDN'T DO THAT TO POLITES 💀💀💀💀
I love that Odysseus froze when Polites died, kept his eyes locked on him and even moved to him until the cyclops fell. Almost exactly how I pictured it. This whole animatic is so good
All I can say is... wow. You definitely did this song justice. The eyes of Odysseus and his men, Polites' death, (RIP 😭) the expression of absolute guilt and shock on Odysseus' face, everything was so well done
I am actually surprised how Polites ends up to die in Cyclops cave while in Odyssey he was with them even till Circe. Interesting they chose to add him die in here for drama reasons
I cried a little when Polites died
You can literally see and feel the pain in Odysseus’ eyes when he sees that Polites’ dead
1:46 - Never thought I'd see Odysseus go full Attack on Titan, but damn, am I glad I did
1:35 THE LOTUS EATER 😭😭 AND POLITES, NOOOO MY CHILD
I SWEAR MY BABYYY GIVE IT A HUG
This animatic scares me. The darkness, the quality of horror, the fact that you don't shy away from the gore and the pain and the nightmares. The fact that *nobody* looks human, they're all unleashing their inner monster to win the battle. I am in love
Holy frick Not the "it's just one life to take" him holding the baby he killed earlier Also I love the Attack on Titan style of blade use you had Odysseus using Your Polyphemus design is absolutely beautiful, fitting for a son of Poseidon Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous
He TRIED to Kill
Nah Polyphemus aint no more son of Poseidon hes now the son of Hades
I'm sure you know you absolutely KILLED this, but dude, you absolutely KILLED THIS!! Some of my fave things: the Polyphemus design, Odysseus's sword reflecting the eye, the reference to the infant, the Lotus eater still being there, Odysseus jumping off the ledge and flinging his swords around (that looked so cool!), the blood splashing on his face....I could go on. Thank you for making this!! It's incredible!
Thank YOU for watching it!🙏
they absolutely killed Polites too
It was AMAZING. The design. The expressions. The colors. The timing. The entire animation. MIRCSY YOU HAVE OUTDONE YOURSELF.
Is it just me or is that monster creepy as heck and rest in peace dude with glasses and whoever made this animation good work you’re scaring me for life in a good way and get a job with the work but please don’t go to the next person that said you work next time please. And I hope all the Man that found peace in Valhalla, rest in peace. All those men that I got killed. 💐💐💐💐🌻🌻🌻
I have a love-hate relationship with this song. I love it because of the vocals, the music, the story and literally everything EXCEPT for the fact that Polites dies. And I thank you for capturing the essence of this song so well. Out of all the animatics I've seen for this musical so far, yours have been my favourite and the way you show the emotions on Odysseus when he is in war mode and after Polites is struck down is simply *chefs kiss*.
I agree with this so much. I love the begining of the song, it gets me so hyped, and by the end I am a sobbing and terrified mess.
@@belinda1909 I WAS LITERALLY JUST FROZEN IN SHOCK AFTER I HEARD HIS "Ca-ptain" AND I DIDNT EVEN REGISTER THE REST OF THE SONG I HAD TO GO RELISTEN TO IT
It's sad, but he dies in the story; including historical stories.
@@ezrathing Yeah but he lives until Circe's island at least in the actual Odyssey
@@prajnamanivannan4000 Went ahead and looked it up and the only thing that I can find that's about the Odyssey is "He is killed either by Scylla or the lightning bolt that Zeus throws at Odysseus' ship for his crew eating the cattle of Helios." So yeah, you're right.
I know it's been said to death but I do love how you took a different look for The Cyclops than the traditional ogre look. Polymphemus voice always sounded so otherworldly to me it couldn't come out of and normally shape maw. The teeth look akin so some deep sea predators, couple that with the horse and how his limbs are jointed and you could see how he might be a sea gods spawn.
2:29 That split screen effect is such a brilliant way to avoid showing the solider's obliteration AND Odysseus's reaction.
I LOVE how you drew Polyphemus! He looks so much more terrifying in an abomination sense as opposed to the usual giant human kind of terrifying And giving the soldiers glowing red eyes? Genius! Not enough people show how scary 30 armed people doing their best to kill something can be!
That's the thing that i love about this song is that even when Polyphemus is a monstrous giant, member of a race known for eating humans without any repairs, even when is apparent that all the odds are against them, Odysseus and his men are confident that they will kill the cyclops and is not until Polyphemus grabs a weapon that they give into despair.
OH MY GOD??!?! THE BLOOD SPLATTERING ON ODYSSEUS'S FACE THE EXPRESSIONS THE EVERYTHING- god. this song already hit hard and you somehow made it even more heartbreaking
I am a man of simple tastes. I see new mircsy animatic, I click And then I cry all over again but holy hades isnt it just majesitc in its superiority
Don't cry, here, have some pancakes- 👀
I LOVE the way you designed Polyphemus. And honestly, hope you are planning on making a animatic of "remember them" and of "Polyphemus". Just so we could see more of this design. That said, if you don't plan on making more. That's fair. Amazing work, great expressions, amazing switch of the mood upon Polites' death. So much that I love but can't find the words to explain why I love it.
2:14 I'M NOT CRYING YOU ARE
YOU ARE RIGHT I AM 😭
The AoT reference to Levi was great and the cyclops design was awesome definitely felt monstrous
1:49 Odysseus 🤝Levi Ackermann *gracefully taking down evil titanic beings*
Ahahahaha yesss! (It was funny to study frame by frame how MAPPA animated Levi😆)
Omg that's brilliant! Your time was definitely well spent (EpicTM pun not intended lol 😂). The resemblence in those frames is SO GOOD 😳
THIS IS SO INCREDIBLE!!! I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!! The way you designed Polymphemus is so unique and absolutely terrifying. The transition from Astyanax to Polymphemus The shot of Polites at the first "FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT" The animation of Odysseus jumping to attack and spinning The RED GLOWING EYES of the soldiers Everything about this is so incredible. This is a cinematic masterpiece. I can't. Every second of this animatic deserves an award. The way Odysseus is frozen in place, when Polites is killed, the blood on his face from his dying comrades. Your work is so amazing every.single.time. I don't have enough words to express how much I love this and how incredible it is. How incredible YOU are. Honestly, thank you for sharing your masterpieces. I love seeing them so much ♥️♥️♥️
I thank you for taking the time and watching them!🙏
Everything about this comment ^^
@@that.drawer.mircsy was Odysseus using Levi's signature move done on purpose? Also can i just Say AMAZING work. I wish i could make something this good.
@@JuliaRiddle Yes LOL When I heard the song for the first time I knew I must refer to AoT
@@that.drawer.mircsy YES. I've only just finsihed season 3 tho im still watching. Everyone has got me terrfied for season 4. (Also sorry my spelling is trash)
0:45 the switch from the infant to the cyclops??? also can I say that this is the single most terrifying design I’ve seen for the cyclops :0 amazing
One small detail that I love is the eyes. The Cyclops and all of the crew members are shown with glowing red eyes, truly painting them as monsters! But the one exception is Polites, and his glasses, which are shown as normal or white. And then when the club comes down... the glasses shatter. Truly a masterpiece.
Whereas others love the animation and semblance. Could we appreciate that for once, Polyphemus is not depicted like a man with one eye but a monster who looks like the very same monster that would feel like the sea spat out?
oh. Oh my god. I am shaking from the absolute masterpiece that is this animation. There's so much to say, but i'd rather keep it brief! Of all the things that caught my attention, it was the glowing eyes that stood out to me the most! Though it might've just been for dramatic effect, I got the impression that it symbolized the murderous intent and rage felt by the warriors and the cyclops; because all of them were so caught up in the fighting, while Polites was the only one without that red glow. Said red glow also disappears after Polites dies :( Kinda like a wake up call to Odysseus. Aside from that, everything was so stunning! The choreography, the poses, the movement! All the emotions, the rage, the bloodlust, the desperation, it just squeezes my heart. Love the lotus eater there as well, and the ending where the cyclops collapses! What a clever way to show what happens next while using the final beat!
My thoughts exactly!!
I LOVE the design of Polyphemus! As other commenters have pointed out, all cyclopes are children of Poseidon, so making him look like something out of the ocean depths is on brand and terrifying in the best way! I also really love the way Polyphemus' eye reflects in Odysseus' sword at @0:23. Honestly, the way you play with and show light in this-- the shine on Polites' glasses, the glow in the soldiers' eyes and the glint off the swords, all gorgeous. The tone shift with Polites' and the others' deaths is amazing-- Odysseus' thousand yard stare and the soldiers' terror as their attack turns into a slaughter is haunting. Great job!!
Love love LOVE this! First, that is truly one of the most terrifying depictions of a cyclops I've seen. Second, the glowing eyes are SO cool! I like that they indicate not only the bloodlust these men feel, but also serve as reminders that these men are experienced, efficient, and truly lethal fighters. They have been at war for many years, and with Odysseus as their leader, under whom they helped secure the victory over Troy, they probably feel a sense of invincibility. It almost seems like just another round of battle to them. But this is not an ordinary foe, and everything about this song and the animation does a wonderful job of capturing that moment of horror when the men realize it.
Jorge should hire you to make a full animation like a movie for his musical because this is EPIC. I'm speechless. I understand it's a ton of work, but please do more
Bet I will! All of the songs are too inspiring not to make animatic on them
@@that.drawer.mircsy I heard Jorge reacting to your videos and he was definitely amazed! Also your vids are amazing! Pls keep making more😊❤️🙏
After watching it like 6 time I've finally realized why Ody slashing the Cyclops around 1:40 felt so familiar, its a Levi Ackerman reference and his way of killing titan , that's so awesome and clever omg
I am floored. I have never liked the Cyclops Saga nearly as much as the Troy saga but I think you have just changed that. All of it was perfect but i especially love how you portrayed all of their deaths and Odysseus' reaction. The blood on the face and the side scenes were incredible. All in all 1000/10
you will see me commenting on every single one of your epic animatics because i can't help how joyfull these make me. i'll repeat what the others said about the cyclops design it's so uniqe... a fighting scene seems challenging but you did so so well once more. i loved the emphasis on ody/polites brotherhood before him being killed and also the red eyes while they fight . timing always perfect. thank you for this
It's so relieving to hear people like the cyclops design. Honestly I was a bit anxious many would say something like "This is not how greek myth cyclops look like at all" etc etc. So thank you! ^^
THE WAY YOU DRAW THE CYCLOP !!! I love this so much ! All of it ! But how inhumane you made the cyclop look is so good ! Cyclops are so often depicted as just giant people with one eye but here you really draw it like something completely alien. Love that Also the quick reference to Hector's son is perfect too !
MY ONLY THING ON MY MIND. the tiny. The itty bitty Lotus Eater. I JUST WANNA HUG THE LITTLE THING 😭😭
I SWEAR IM ALSO JUST THINKING ABOUT HIM HES SO SCARED, HE'S JUST A BABYYY
i have so much things to say but the "it's just one life to take" with the baby flashback is so clever wow... Polymphemus's design is so incredible and great i can't even put words on how much i love it. The expression, the way Odysseus seems to live for the action, i'm in love with your talent and style. This is awesome, wow.
The Polyphemus design is absolutely phenomenal. I’m at a loss for words, honestly, and not just because I’m heartbroken. Marvelous work!
Holy...this is incredible. Your polyphemus is so unique. The movements are so dynamic I just can't put into words how impressive this is!!!
This is officially the first full animatic of this song and it is glorious~ How you portray both the characters and action is gratifying. You linking back to “Just the Man” with “Just one life to take.” Is creative with a layer of tragedy underneath. The way you show the fight scenes with Odysseus and the soldiers with so much bloodlust and confidence helps build up the hopelessness when Polyphemus starts demolishing them one by one while Odysseus watches on in horror. The scenes of the soldiers being massacre is blissful nightmare fuel. I especially resonate how you imagine Polyphemus as this lanky creature from hell as opposed other artist’s more human like approach with the character. Your design for him is definitely what I think the Greeks would’ve imagine when thinking of a cyclops. I’ll love what direction you’ll go with the character in his own song “Polyphemus.” ❤👁️❤
It's very polite of Polyphemus to just stand and wait for them at the start of the song
The cyclops design is horrific and truly sells the horror of the situation. This is amazing.
This animatic is absolutely gorgeous. The detail you put into each scene is incredible. This is a masterpiece.
Absolutely in love with how Polyphemus LOOKS like he is truly Poseidon's son, deep sea-like facial features (common fact, Poseidon is god of the seas) coupled with hooves as well! (Less commonly known fact, Poseidon made horses!)❤
Loved the kind of eldritch vibe you went with for Polyphemus. I've been picturing him as a much doofier looking Cyclops so I really like this version with some menace
This is AMAZING!! the Polyphemus design is incredible - much more terrifying than anything I’ve ever seen or imagined, but more fitting too. And the flashback to holding the infant…incredible work, as always. I really hope you do more - these are the best.
Oh my gosh, I've never seen a scarier cyclops design! This is incredible! Also the rest of the animatic - the fight scenes and everything. I really like that you actually animated the fight scene - many other artists on KZhead get lazy and stop animating the piece as soon as it gets to a fight. Also showing the blood splashing on Odysseus' face while seeing other scenes in the cave around him is such a good idea! In my opinion that represents the horror he and his men are witnessing very good (alongside with the cyclopses scary design). And I really like the fact that one of the lotus eaters joined them on the journey to the food filled cave because I simply love the lots eater design XD Keep up the great work, watching your animatics is always a couple of minutes well spent! 🤗
I HAVENT FINISHED WATCHING YET BUT I JUST HAVE TO TELL YOU I THINK YOUR POLYPHEMUS DESIGN IS SO COOL AND I LOVE YOUR ART STYLE SO MUCH!!!!! EDIT: i just finished watching.... you're so good at expressions and compositions and movement its insane POLITES????? THE COLORS?? THE TONAL SHIFT WHEN POLITES GETS CRUSHED??? THE LONE LOTUS EATER??? YOU CAPTURED ODYSSEUS' SHOCK AND PAIN SO WELL WHEN HE DOESNT ANSWER HIS MEN... AND WHEN POLYPHEMUS WAS SINGING AND EURYLOCHUS DRAGS ODYSSEUS OUT OF HARMS WAY I LOVE THIS ANIMATIC SO MUCH BUT IT HURTS SO BAD OUHHHHH (also! i'm not sure if it's intentional but if it was, i see that aot ackerman influence in ody's spinny blade jump move at the "push forward!!!" part, hehe!) edit2 bc i'm not done: theres so many things i love about this animatic... ody's sword reflecting polyphemus' eye, the nod back to just a man with astyanax at "it's just one life to take" :((, the blood splattering onto ody's face as he just stands there frozen unable to move even with his men dying around him because all he can see is polites (or whatever's left of him), THE LITTLE DETAIL WHERE EURYLOCHUS ODY AND ALL HIS MEN HAVE RED-LIT EYES WHEN THEY'RE ABOUT TO FIGHT BUT YOU NEVER ONCE HAD POLITES WITH THAT SAME BLOODTHIRSTY RUTHLESS LOOK :(((..... ouhhh so much pain in this work mircsy youve truly outdone yourself....
The aot reference was intentional :D As far as I know, Survive was highly inspired by that anime so it couldn't be missed
@@that.drawer.mircsy OMG HI HELLO YOURE AMAZING!!!! and also re: it being intentional: whoa, i didn't know survive was inspired by aot too, that's so cool! also i hope your hands and arms are okay and you're getting enough sleep... three amazing full length animatics with little time in between them is a feat for sure but please take care of yourself mircsy!! :D
YES,, agree with everything in your comment!! literally putting into words everything I wanted to say and more ^^^
Smth I just don't understand is why the Cyclops just falls off in the middle of his line while he was promising death to Odysseus like how did he have enough force to do all that chaos while he was already like stabbed to death
OH. MY. GODDDDDDDDDD "It's just one life to take" and paired with the image of Astyanax?!?!?!?!? The tears are FLOWING ASJKJJKJKSJSKKJSKSJSKS
Cyclops transition - 2:39
The little details get me every time! That moment when Odysseus sings, "Fight, fight, fight" and he looks back at Polites, you can see Polites' glasses reflected in Odysseus' eyes so you know he's trying to get him to fight too.
Yeeeees hahahaaaa🙌
Oh wow, this is incredible. I really like how monstrous you made the cyclops, and how everyone's eyes glowed with bloodlust except for Polites. The way his glasses flashed white instead of red really drew the attention to him, building up the tension that something would happen to him. Amazing detail! ^_^
Ive been waiting for someone to animate Survive, this is incredible
All we need now is a full "remember them" animatic and we will have all nine officially released songs visualized here on KZhead so that's neat
YOOO I DIDNT KNOW YOU FINISHED IT
Oh that Polyphemus design is so sick
I slowly catch up to others lmao
Ok ima just 1) awesome animatic 2) we can really see a lot of little things and I’m going to analyze the hell out of this so… At the start we see odyssey’s eyes light up all red when he reflects the cyclops own eye with his sword. I’m going to come back to this but the fact the they both have the same angry glow is already scary He picks up the lotus eater and sort of flings it around a bit showing he isn’t really thinking that much as he is telling his men his speech. We than see the main focus of this comment (and animatic) Polites, his glasses glowing with a yellowish tint instead of the red we see in the other characters. He gives a ether uncertain or uncomfortable look at his friend. Odyssey puts the louts eater on the rock he was standing on and runs into battle, both the lotus eater and Polites seem to try to call him back. The louts eaters flower seems to start wilting. We see a flash of the fleet and than one to hectors son (probably being yeeted off the wall of Troy) before returning to the present. Odyssey has a… unhinged ? Look to him and we see that the rest of his men (besides Polites) have the same red glow in there eyes. It shows the cyclops, his men charging, and than Polites. Polites looks like he is way to at peace with the situation, his expression is hard to read but he looks like he realizes something or like he’s almost silently saying something to Odyssey or asking a question. We get a shot of Odyssey looking back to where Polites is. It feels like he’s specifically telling Polites to fight, he also doesn’t have the red glow in in his when he looks at Polites. Odyssey gets a second sword form Eurylochus, and at “attack from behind, keep distance in mind.” He attacks from the front ant gets really close to the cyclops. Someone who is either really badass or really dumb throws a spear at the cyclops, and Odyssey goes full attack on titan. Polites instead of fighting throws his sword away seemingly helping the others in the chaos or, trying to stop things from getting more out of control. The lotus eater’s flower is wilting much more clearly with petals falling around the poor thing. Odyssey is now above the cyclops and there is a close up of his men most of them only being silhouettes aside from the red eyes. Odyssey jumps at the cyclops and slashes them with his sword. Polites helps Odysseys up he again has the yellowish glow in his glasses We see Odysseys and Eurylochus do a mid-battle high five, Polites looking away from the camera, the cyclops, and the rest of the men in the cave in quick succession. Polites turns looking up his eye now glowing with she same glow that his glasses have before the screen cuts out. We see Polites forearm with blood splattered on it his glasses fall broken away from him still glowing. Odysseys freezes and starts hyperventilating others around him die and blood splatters on his face. (side note I’m pretty sure Odysseys has a panic attack or something similar as when I have panic attacks this is what I do. instead of curling up on the floor some people just stand there everything feels like it’s so far away except for what your focused on.) Odysseys pukes probably because a mixture of the adrenaline finally subsiding, the already mentioned hyperventilating, and most importantly Polites death due to the reckless charge. Odysseys has gone into complete shock He reaches out to Polites body and it shows more of his men dead or dying and he doesn’t react until Eurylochus forcefully grabs him (second side note Odyssey’s reaction of pushing away Eurylochus and running towards the danger to get to Polites makes me more confident that he is having a panic attack or emotional breakdown he’s focused on Polites and all other reflexes or reactions to danger get overshadowed) he pushes Eurylochus away and cradles Polites’s body in his arms. I’m going to bed now lol probably finish the analysis tomorrow
This is AMAZING! Thank you for taking the time and writing it🙏
@@that.drawer.mircsy aww thank you did I get the panic attack part right? I’m honestly curious what you were going for with that part
@@mapleflame9027 You described that part perfectly^^
I want more of this Edit, i think it's a good parallel where Odysseus did not want to kill hector but charged head first to fight polyphemus
You’ll get more👹 (hopefully)
2:47 this would be an AWESOME wall paper if it were fully coloured in. even without the colour, it looks amazing. the sheer size of polythemus, overshadowing them all. the fact you can't see the lower part of his legs makes it even scarier, cause it means he's standing on something lower or further behind, yet still towers over them all.
Oh My God. Oh my God. OH MY GOD! This is absolutely beautiful. The art, the animation and the freaking red eyes glowing. I saw the Attack on Titan move and this is ablsutlely jaw-breaking. Oh My God. The death of Polites and the rest of the men was so fucking good and i was speechless. OMG. I cannot stop saying OMG
I love how the crew's eyes are all lit as they sing in their unison--turning the chorus into a possession, like they're one big machine.
Once again your animation ASTOUNDS me. My heart raced seeing the fierceness in everyone’s eyes and you really captured the high tension perfectly. Then my heart stopped when Polites died, omg my poor heart. Just, full round of applause for capturing so much emotion and making me feel each one so clearly 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The surge of edits with this song and the Percy Jackson series that will exist when the series comes out will make me very happy.
"It's just one life to take!" ...shows baby Astyanax I'm in TEARS
I love how you made the Greeks' eyes glow as they attack... From Polyphemus' POV THEY are the monsters And the Lotus Eater getting thrown away in the action as Odysseus discards Polytes' open arms approach... The gods fucked everyone ovet
Ahhh I am in love with this and I’m glad you didn’t show the death only the broken glasses and please tell me that you are doing remember them
I have plans for many songs and Remember Them is one of them :D but it's really far in the future
@snowflameravid6335 I am here to join you on the noble quest of persuading Mircsy to create an animation for Remember Them. Let's hope we will succeed, my friend 😂🙏
This is absolutely amazing. But after one of our cars pounced on my leg while I was listening to this all I can imagine is just a bunch of kittens trying to climb/"hunt" their human and are at first humored only for the human to gently bonk one with like. A cardboard tube. Rest of the cats all just being dramatic
Hah
Incredible!! I love how Pol looks like his VA, his broken glasses *chef's kiss* God the splashes of blood on Odysseus' face were *exactly* what I imagined for that part of the song! Just shell shocked as people around him are dying. One of the songs in the beta (or maybe the original Odyssey?) said 'I brought 600 men to war and didn't lose a single one' and just... Losing so many in just a few seconds really weighs on you, and you captured it. You should feel very proud
I love how you interpret characters in your artwork. Especially the gods and monsters. It’s very beautiful.
"HE KILLED POLITES!" "YOU BASTARD!"
God i adore this so much, the cyclops design is just amazing and the choreography makes it all the better. This is my favorite of the cyclops songs especially when the cyclops sings and you certainly did it justice
This animation is incredible. Your style is gorgeous and you are undeniably talented. The way you envisioned the adrenaline brought about in "Survive" and the abrupt shift in the mood of the song were captured perfectly. Can't wait to see more of you future work!
Your cyclops is genuinely horrifying. bravo
Holy fucking shit that cyclops design is straight out of Dark Souls that shit is amazing.
Holy. Shit. This was the best epic animatic I’ve ever seen, the action poses were so cool!!! Poor Odysseyus tho, I love how you conveyed the shock and horror on his face, and him reaching for Polites? Ouch man. Your Polyphemus design is absolute nightmare fuel and I fucking love it.
i love the demonic design you did for Polyphemus. And your animation and everything just marked the change after Polities died so well. Amazing Job Mircsy.
i always head cannoned with this song that ody was so blinded with anger and pain and being distracted commanding the rest of the crew that he didn't see an attack coming his way and polities pushes him out of the way and pretty much sacrificed himself.
That shot where everyone is standing together and their eyes are glowing gave me chills. I can't express how much I love this animatic!
I love the design of Polyphemus probably the most monstrous interpretation of the Cyclops I’ve seen so far.
The "ENOUGH" tho 2:15
I love how scary Polyphemus is been portrayed... not like just a giant man, but as a genuine dangerous creature.
omg eveything is so perfect. the way their eyes glow the same as the giants (ugh names) and the animatic before this one too, OMG PERFECT everything is just amazing i love the sorrow you show with the giant and the soldiers and it’s all just perfect. it all just matches up so perfectly.
1:57 IT LOOKS LIKE AN EYE ON TOP OF THE CYCLOPS!
I honestly cant believe how your so good in drawing! Polyphemus design was amazing! It was very sad to watch that Odysseus' bestfriend died. Overall, THE ART WAS AMAZING AND THE ANIMATION
This is so awesome and a movie within it's self! I LOVE the AoT vibes of Ody = pumped up Eren then it all goes down hill. Even with the double sword and spin! The expressions are on point. And you even handled Polites' death so magnificently! 10/10 would cry over again
I mean how... Just how ca you exactly portray what I was feeling whe I heard the song.... This is so freaking amazing!!!!
Wow. This animatic is so cool. Like- The emotions?! The visuals?! The designs?! LITERALLY EVERYTHING?! I LOVE IT SO MUCH
I really like your Polyphemus design mostly cause it looks frightening and inhuman really has a JRPG mini boss feel to it
Big fan of the fact that Ody just keeps the Lotus Eater with him, safekeeping 🥰
A mental concept I always had for this musical is that whenever that little sinister side pokes out, his eyes flicker red. But characters like Poseidon always have that fire look in their eyes because they've already embraced their ruthlessness. Like in the song "Just a man" when he says that line "But when does a comet become a meteor", his eyes would have that flickered flame. I think it would make thematic sense because he's still TRYING to be good. But when he embraces ruthlessness, he gives into the flames.
Your interpretation of the cyclops is amazing! This is one of the best animatics you've done of Epic by far!
i have no words............im literally on the verge of tears thats how amazing it is. everything from polites getting serious to how the focus is on ody when poly is killing the men, its perfection
I'd like to point out that i can practically FEEL each blow of that club. Like a hammer-blow to the chest that has me wincing with every strike...
OBSESSED WITH THIS CYCLOPS DESIGN. A TRUE MONSTER. LIKE SOMETHING OUT OF LOVECRAFT. and god the small flash to astyanax for "it's just one life to take" MWAH so good
THIS IS AMAZING OH MY GOD LIKE WHAAAAT I was so hyped for you to make an animatic on this song, because it's just sooo good, and so dramatic, you captured that perfectly. The poses, expressions, details, it's just incredible! Nice job, loving it!!! ♥️♥️♥️ Hajbgjab,, Polites,,, 😭
POLY'S DESIGNS AND THE WAY U DRAW EXPRESSIONS AND DYNAMICS ARE SO GOOD - ODYSSEUS' REACTION TO THE GORE AND POLITES' DEATH IS PAINSTAKINGLY AMAZING ! AND THE WAY EURY TRIES TO DRAG HIM AWAY- so good man i love this sm aaaa
Thats exactly how I imagined the last part. Him just staring with blood splattering. You did beautifully!!!
Ody's last move reminds me of a game called Midnight Suns super move.
OOO that flashback to the infant felt like a punch in the gut omg, I love that detail
I was sooooo hoping someone would make an animatic to this song, and you were sooooo amazing. I love how unique your cyclops design is
This is OUTSTANDING work! My feelings! PHEW! I love everything you design, draw, and animate. This is absolutely stunning. BRAVO! OH my sword and stars, this is impeccable!

I can't stop gushing over the design of Polyphemus
