- Runaway by AURORA: A Nico Robin Animatic!
Hopefully the video speaks for itself, but here are my thoughts behind my little project:
In the beginning of this year, my brain was filled with AURORA music from Sky's virtual concerts and One Piece from my manga and anime binging. One day, listening to this song, something clicked: it was Robin's song, telling her story perfectly--searching for something, constantly on the run, even from happiness, and eventually finding a home with the Straw Hat crew. Months later, I sat down and decided to draw the animatic, and it's finally here.
This animatic is a retelling of Nico Robin's story up to the conclusion of Enies Lobby, a mix of images that came to me as I listened to the song and canon scenes from the series that found their way into the boards because they were so iconic, embedded in my memory. It has been my longest storyboarding project so far, in terms of both project duration and animatic length, and I had a blast making it. If you like AURORA's music, enjoy Runaway for the umpteenth time. If you like One Piece, enjoy the trip down memory lane. And if you like both, I hope you enjoy watching twice as much, like I do.
The song Runaway belongs AURORA: • AURORA - Runaway (Audio)
The story and characters belong to Eiichiro Oda. I only claim the storyboards.

This animatic has me speechless. Robin is my favorite Strawhat, and this video reminded me of every reason I adore her story.
0:24 Your ability to show deep emotions in only a few seconds is incredible. Robin drawing a picture of her and her mother, only to have her mother’s face erased by the ocean-it needs no explanation. It’s perfectly heartbreaking.
I love how you were unafraid to make things symbolic. Like… not every scene in this video is “realistic” but the symbolism works so well.
Robin dreaming about the Strawhats climbing a tree at 0:36 and then 0:46 “I saw a piece of heaven waiting impatient for me” with Robin seeing the Strawhat’s backs and then running toward them is so good. It just builds the feeling that she’s been waiting for them, for a FAMILY, her whole life. It’s like… through all the suffering she went through, when her mother told her to run and live, and when Saul told her to run and find her friends, the STRAWHATS were what she was running toward! Even if she didn’t know it!
And then at 2:16 she sees them laughing and exploring again but it isn’t a dream anymore because she’s WITH THEM! She made it!
0:41, 1:26, 1:37 Robin’s own hands help her up the tree.
The symbolism you’ve created with hands is phenomenal. When Robin reaches for a hand, no one is there to catch her when she falls because she’s alone. Robin’s own hands pull her up again and again because the only person who helps her is herself.
I’m taking a moment to appreciate your animation real quick. Robin kicks her little feet while walking on the beach! When she gets out of the water her hair looks wet! When she dances in the rain it’s so fluid and beautiful! Your expressions and perspective is SO GOOD! I’m in love with your art!
The way you match the lyrics to the animation is perfect especially the lines “Take me home where I belong” and “I can’t take it anymore,” those hit hard every time.
The way you drew Robin joining the Strawhats is everything. It’s Luffy’s happy smile when he decides to trust her despite everything. It’s Robin making the boys laugh. It’s her face of confusion and awe when Nami gives Robin her first hug in decades. It’s Sanji bringing her food to support her while she does what she loves. It’s the way Robin covers Zoro with a blanket because for all the world calls her heartless, the moment Robin finds people she can safely love she INSTANTLY starts loving and caring for them. It’s how HAPPY Robin looks (2:15) exploring Skypia and being with people who support her dream. It’s Robin getting to read a poneglyph and reclaim a little of the home she’s lost to “take me home where I belong.” It’s all of it. Everything about this sequence is flawless, it says so MUCH in so little time.
Another little moment to appreciate your animation. I adored the tiny shot at 2:14 so much because it only lasts for a second but it’s so full of character. Also color coding the Strawhats is genius, it makes them so easy to see.
2:30 The acceptance in her face is killing me. To Robin, the dream is over and she’s finally going to die.
The parallel between the sequences at 1:47-1:56 and 2:36-2:46 is so emotional. Because this is what Robin does when everything goes wrong: she walks away and she lies and she fights and she ends up alone. It’s all she knows how to do. The difference is, the first time she’s desperate to save herself and the second time she’s desperate to save those she loves. I just love how you told her story so much.
Also Robin’s expression at 2:44 is making me feel an indescribable emotion.
2:52 “And i kept running for a soft place to fall” cause Robin keeps running! She’s running away! She’s running toward something but she doesn’t know what! You get it!
3:08-3:16 “Take me home where I belong, I got no other place to go” BECAUSE SHE DOESN’T! THIS IS THE END OF EVERYTHING FOR ROBIN, SHE HAS NOTHING! SHE HAS NO WHERE TO GO! BUT HER FAMILY COMES FOR HER AND TAKES HER HOME!
3:16-3:21
AND THEN THE FIRE BECOMES OPEN HANDS BECAUSE SHE ISN’T ALONE ANYMORE! PEOPLE ARE FINALLY THERE TO HELP HER! TO CATCH HER WHEN SHE FALLS!
(This is the exact moment I started crying while writing this.)
AND SHE ACCEPTS THE HANDS! SHE ACCEPTS THEIR HELP! SHE ISN’T ALONE ANYMORE!
3:25-3:50
And then Robin runs and falls again but she’s coming home to Merry this time and she’s with her family. And Robin gives them wings! They’re all flying and Robin did that for them! And Robin holds Chopper and it’s adorable!
Thank you for the Going Merry appreciation in this animatic.
3:51 THANK YOU FOR THIS SHOT!
3:57 Maybe I’m reading into this too much but the shooting star is like… “make a wish.” And Robin has been wishing her whole life, but this time she just smiles and goes to sleep because she’s home. She has her dream (the book, her research) and her family and she doesn’t need to wish anymore.
Anyway, this is a long comment but the moment I watched this I knew I needed you to know how much I adore it. You’ve combined one of my all time favorite characters with an amazing song and amazing art to tell a beautiful story. Thank you so much for sharing your work!
This is an amazing breakdown of the video! I wonder how many times did you repeat 😭
Seeing and reading this comment made my day! I actually reread it when I need a mood-lifter 🥲 Thank you so so much for your attention to detail and thorough breakdown of my animatic and what you appreciated about it! It was amazing to me to read your comment because it was like you were in my head for the planning process. You highlighted so many things--the message of Robin waiting her whole life for her found family, the parallels between the sequences for the "running far away" chorus, the "no other place to go" and how she runs one last time but towards her happiness in the end. You even caught the book in the end, which I did keep as a recurring motif through the whole thing, even when she "gives it up" in a way before putting on the Miss All Sunday persona :') Your comment and attentiveness make me indescribably happy and proud of what I've made, since it was positively picked apart by such a big Robin fan! As a storyteller, it's encouraging to know that the ideas and visuals I had in mind came across. Thank you again!
This is an amazing analysis and the only thing I have to add is that I LOVE the fact that at 3:39 Sanji and Zoro are acting as Luffy's wings. Because Robin said that Sanji was one of the wings of the King of the Pirates.
Such a great analysis 💜
@witec83 and not only that but each of them only have 1 wing each, really hitting into that factor of they are his wings that will carry him when he's pushed himself past the limit
The poneglyph falling on top of Robin, about to crush her is fantastic and pretty simbolic: her knowledge, and Ohara's legacy quite literally nearly destroying her
I appreciate you pointing that part out! I was worried the "weight of the world" symbolism might have been missed 🥹
@@trinblom Yippieeeee
Anyways "weight of the world" made me think of Hades' Good Riddance so imma go listen to that and cry for a bit
3:39 I love that in this shot Sanji and Zoro are searving as the left and right wings of the (unconsious) Pirate King. When I first saw it I thought that Luffy has his own 2 wings and Zoro and Sanji each had one wing while holding him up, but I'm pretty sure they are each meant to have 2 and are carrying Luffy. Either way it turns out in the final animation, the fact that they are serving as his wings.
Hey I know this is late and not really the point. But that wings thing was likely a bad translation. Sanji is Luffy's wings playing off his ability to sky walk and his mother being named Sora. Zoro is likely Luffy's earth playing off how he tends to ground the strawhats (mostly Luffy) and his mother being named Tera. Jimbei being the third son of the sea really rounds out.
3:44 Love how you bring to life Robin's quote "wings of the pirate king"
This video reminded me why Robin is my favorite strawhat, not that I'd forgotten, but the raw EMOTION you wrung out of me with this is so wild. When I saw it only had about 250 views I was FLABBERGASTED. This deserves Millions.
You're so kind!! I truly can't put into words how encouraging it is to hear that something I've created has had an emotional impact on someone ;_; Thank you so much!
3:11 this was a genius shot. How the flames on the flag of her suppressor turn into the arms Straw Hats reaching out for Robin, their family.
Going through Water Seven and Enies Lobby I realized how much fire recurred as an image BUT it had a different connotation when the Straw Hats were there 🥹 I'm glad you appreciate it!
OH THIS IS GORGEOUS!!!!!!! The shot of all of their hands reaching for her TwT
Thank you!! I came up with the hands idea as I did the rough boards; it's interesting how much of the animatic I didn't originally plan out haha
the fact that throughout her life the only hand that really helped her was her own, and then the Straw Hats' hand reaching out to her
Holy crap this is insane!! Teared up when Nami hugged Robin, and even more so at the I want to Live scene. Genuinely incredible, thank you so so much!!
Thank you so much for watching!! I knew in the beginning I wanted a Nami hug scene and expanded it to show Robin interacting with the rest of the crew. Then the "I want to live" scene is just so iconic; how could I not include it? 🤧
Oh man this perfectly encapsulated Robin's emotional arc and really got me thinking about how Luffy's charm and kind of the point of the strawhat pirates is that he can turn anyone into a child again, and that anyone can change. That scene where she joins them after Alabasta really reads like an adult humoring children, but it very quickly changes into her becoming one of them, and reconnecting with her childlike self, when she starts to play with the strawhats and rediscover her passion. This is really incredible! and the storyboard and art are so well crafted as well!! well done!
Zoro getting lost in the tree is such a nice touch 0:37
😢I think I've neglected Robin as a character, I'm crying again after 7 years of knowing One Piece.
This is criminally underrated, the art is so dynamic and emotional. Seriously incredible job
This was so freaking incredible, I'm extremely impressed!!!! I really love how much emphasis you put on the Going Merry being her home, cause that's an angle that I hadn't thought of before but it's so obvious now that you pushed it to the forefront. Incredible!!!!
Wow thank you!! The "home where I belong" line was what made me first think of the connection to Robin, actually! I'm glad my focus on her home with the Straw Hats/the Merry came across well!
how does this not have more likes, this is so beautiful! This autoplayed I'm so glad it did because It going into my favorites
Wow I’m a n00b when it comes to OnePiece however you don’t need to understand the story to appreciate this piece of art. Well done! ✨👏🏽✨
Thank you!! People who are unfamiliar with One Piece but still enjoy the animatic are personifications of praise themselves 😭
i can feel every single emotion in this so STONGLY ohhh this is so good :,D you've captured her story extremely well, and needless to say i'm crying over the strawhats and nico robin for the millionth time or so now
Thank you!! I'm so glad the emotions came across :'D We all cry over Nico Robin and the Straw Hats.
This made me cry 😭 It's so beautiful and shows Robin's story so well omg, thank you for making this 🥺
Robin is definition of found family, her arc I cried, I relate to her so hard, I got her devil fruit tattooed on my chest to keep a remind that "I want to live"
Just finished Enies Lobby; the moment where Robin chooses to live sits in a special place in my heart
havent cried at all during one piece except for ace's death. yet somehow this made me sob. this is amazing
This made me tear up ;-; robin's distance, her being on her own and finally being with ppl she belongs to, i felt that in my heart ;-;
dude. DUDEEEEEEEE. okaokayokay. THE CHILLS I GOT FROM THIS??? THE WAY THIS IS AN ACTUAL MASTERPIECE?? the visuals the movement the Everything. it feels like a freakin' movie!! robin's story, the waves washing away olvia's face in the sand, the images of robin running, the kid strawhats in the trees, how robin's life begins with her own hands reaching out to her and how alone she was, SAUL
OH AND I LOVE THE CAMERA SHAKING AT THAT TRAIN SCENE. SO MUCH
I really appreciate when people point out specific parts that stood out to them and then it turns out to be a list 😭 Thank you so much for watching and paying such close attention to everything! Even Saul wasn't lost on you and he was there for maybe 1.5 seconds 🥹
all this time *sniff sniff* she had no one to lend her a hand except herself, but the last scene *sniff* the flowers bloom and it's the other straw hats hands *screaming, crying, throwing up* 😭oh Robin. I'm so glad this strong and beautiful woman has found people who will fight for her no matter what
Gah my heart this is so amazing, love it! Your art is so cool!!!! Water 7 and Enies Lobby arc killed me when I first watched it.
Thank you!! W7 and EL were such a roller coaster of emotions for me; I totally understand.
The only thing that stopped me from crying was that I'm in class. This is an amazing piece of art, and you understand intimately why Robin is One Piece's greatest treasure.
Ok I'm crying now. This is beautiful
I’ve always associated this audio with robin. The constant need to run, the lies, and the emotion in the song made me associate it with her trauma.
Don’t make me cry 😭 I love it so much
Wtf i thought this had like 5 mil, dude robins my fav strawhat and this encapulates why robin is such an awesome and impactful character, liked and subbed
In love with the fact that in the first part of the video the only hand that was extended to her was her own, kind of showcasing she was on her own, only herself and her powers to lean on
and in the later part there are multiple hands extended to her with different colors (yknow the strawhats) symbolizing she's got others to help her now and she's no longer on her own
I really love the symbolism of the shots here but this one really stuck out to me
OH BOY DID I ENJOY WATCHING IT TWICE AND FOUR TIMES AS MUCH. (avid one piece AND aurora fan) THIS IS. GOD. it's such a nice coincidence that this is a project from before the live action, bc as soon as i found out aurora would sing for the show i was starting to hope more ppl would get into her music and then hopefully make things with it for one piece - AND HERE YOU ARE DOING THAT EVEN BEFORE THAT HAPPENED!!!!
Man, the variing and creative shots, the movements in them, the different visual metaphors you chose to transition between the sections and from subject to subject... amazing, truly, i literally already started tearing up when i saw this video reccomended and then the tears started flowing and getting worse throughout the whole video!!! many many good emotional storybeats and synched up wonderfully with the different climaxes of the song, and ugh. as someone who also has assigned robin to this song for ages now, you hit the nail on the head.
And now I'm thinking again about the Robin animatic i've been wanting to do with Cure for Me by aurora TCT
YEAH a fellow Aurora OP fan! :D Thank you for watching!! It makes me so happy that people catch and understand the metaphors and storytelling I chose to include ;u; I say go for it if you want to do an animatic of your own! They're challenging but fun!
oh yeah i know, i've done a few in my time as well! no idea how i mustered the energy to do them all good lord, it's time consuming... but yeah again, amazing work man, and you got such a good eye for combining reality with more abstract imagery!@@trinblom
I love the detail of robin always having herself (thematically her DF) to climb any hurdles that comes along her path. Since she hadn't had anyone to help her, she had considered herself her only crutch in this cruel world.
But the one hurdle she couldn't climb (the world itself) the hands of her friends pull her through the cruelty that is the world.
I am in shock, this was so beautifully made, I am crying about all of it, Robin constantly using her hands to climb things, young Robin seeing all the other Strawhats climbing the three and then following, and then at the end when the hands become THEIR HANDS??? Robin using her df powers to make all of them fly???? I am a sobbing mess
Edit: JUST REALIZED THAT ZORO AND SANJI ARE CARRYING LUFFY AND THEY EACH HAVE ONLY ONE WING BECASUE *ROBIN* CALLED THEM THE WINGS OF THE PIRATE KING AKSDJKSAJDKLSAJDKLAJSDKL THIS IS AMAZING
This is so gorgeous. Having Robin go from reaching out to her own hands to reaching out to the Straw Hat Crew's hands (with flower symbolism to boot) is brilliant🎉
nico robin fans casually dropping the most incredible works of art like it’s nothing
absolutely devastated. beautiful thank you
I've always loved how her devilfruit ability fits her in the sense that the only one to hold her hand is herself. Her only wish as a child was to hold her mothers hand and tyat was taken from her. So you can't blame her for not believing anyone would ever again reach out for her in any meaningful way until now.
The fact this animation made me cry proves how underrated this is.
Oh man... This is incredibly good. The hands blossoming then revealing themselves as her crewmates reaching out for her 😭
Okay! the scene where everybody got angel wings is just beautifully drawn
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL I AM COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY BY THIS ?? THE SONG FITS HER SO WELL AND THE ART AND FLOW OF THE ANIMATIC ITSELF IS JUTS MWAH GORGEOUS BROUGHT ME TO REAL TEARS I LOVE ROBIN I LOVE THIS VID I HOPE THIS BLOWS UP BC THIS IS PROBABLY MY FAV ONE PIECE ANIMATIC OF ALL TIME
Thank you so much!! I'm glad that people love the song paired with Robin 🥲
this is so breathtaking. what a stunning love letter to robin. i was struck by the way you used her hands pulling herself up in contrast with the strawhats later reaching out. Amazing incredible job!!!!
This has to be one the best animatics I ever see it’s truly amazing the way you capture Robin’s character.
I love how all the hands reaching for her in the start were her own, showing that she only has herself to help her. Now, the hands have changed to the crew’s. Beautifully done 💕
I've had to go back and watch this animatic sooooo many times in the last week alone. It's simply breathtaking and it's making me fall in love with Robin all over again. That scene with everyone's arms unfurling for her leaves me teary eyed every single time. Thank you so much for sharing this masterpiece !!!!
thank you for watching it so many times!! 🥹
It never left my mind, how she would rather go back being a dog of the world government, than one day have the straw hats look at her and not want her anymore. She'd rather endure physical and mental torture, than hear the crew say she's a burden. The thought of this crew (whom she'd known for barely a month but already absolutely fell in love with) leaving her, hurts more than anything she'd suffered. Oh god, i love her story so much..
I don’t even watch one piece, but I am in the middle of the video and I started crying and getting so happy
How in the everloving fuck does this have less then 1000 views??
Absolutely phenomenal animatic
You captured robins character and progression SO WELL I CANNOT both with the song choice and the visuals
Amazing and highly underrated
Ok, so if I avoid one piece content on RUclips, I’ll more easily avoid the algorithm recommending spoilers.
this masterpiece: exists.
……..so I need a new plan…
I genuinely started crying when watching this is so gorgeous
I have got this permanently locked in my recommended because I’ve watched it so much
That scene where they went up knock up stream really stood out to me. Somehow symbolised a real turning point in her story. The whole animation also has such a nice pace.
I really enjoyed it! Made me cry.
I'm glad you appreciated the Knock-Up Stream scene! Going through Robin's story in my head over and over, I wanted to find a turning point, like you said, for her after leaving Baroque Works. I needed to sell the happiness before I brought in the pain haha
That last bit where they all got wings, I'm crying as hard as she did when she proclaimed that she wanted to live
I just pressed on this because I listen to some songs of AURORA and love One PIECE & Robin
But goddammit I never planned to cry like a baby today
I love how Zoro and Sanji are holding up Luffy with each a wing it gives off from Robin speach in Wano. If it's intentional that's really neat.
Yes! I wanted Luffy to be part of the flying but since it was post Enies Lobby he was unable to move, so I thought having his Wings carry him was a fun workaround!
@@trinblom I love it it's great !
Sinper kings fire exploding into all their hand reaching out to her.
Who the hell is chopping onions?! 😭😂
This made me tear up love Robin so much her backstory broke me this song fits her so perfectly
Watched this 3 times already, sure the song is beautiful, but the way you drew the animatic and expressed Robin's character and her story was SO good. If this doesn't get at least million views... actually no, I'm pretty sure it will
OUGH I'M CRYING IT'S ABSOLUTELY AMAZING WAAAA
Thank you for watching!!
This is so great and a perfect representation for Robin, she is also my fav in one piece and so is the others also , they helped keep me to fall to my sorrows ,this amv really shows Robin's life ,and also the transition they're too much i cant say a word to it ,this is just perfection , keep it up man 😊
Ohmygod THE PARALLELS THE HANDS THIS WHOLE THING IS AMAZING WORDS CANT DESCRIBE HOW I FEEL ITS A ROLLERCOASTER OF EMOTIONS
Great googly moogly, this is so beautifully constructed- beat by beat, shot by shot!! Seeing little Robin dancing in the rain with glee, only for her to have to witness her own island engulfed in smoke and flame made me WEEP. But I love the way you told her story. For most of her life, the only person she could rely on, or find solace in, was ultimately, herself. I noticed that you added a scene where she’s on the ground, and one of her duplicate hands, literally, reaches out to help her climb back up. And later on, she’s able to extend that ability, which had kept her protected up until that point, to defend/look out for and care for the *straw-hats.* ( i adore the part where she puts the blanket on zoro :). ) And then we see them care for her too, making an enemy of the entire world just to see that she comes back safely. I bring this up because I love how her hands can be interpreted as protection, care, & love throughout the animatic, especially at the very end. Robin & her newfound family (straw-hats) gliding with her hand-wings (for lack of a better term) after having just freed her from a deadly government base, means so much. It’s her acknowledging that they care for *each other.* no sacrifices on luffy’s watch
& i love the way you draw little robin & the little straw hats!! & robin w/ the poneglyphs , the transitions, the train shot!! the facial expressions! everything is just, chefs kiss, amazing, & this animatic deserves the world. wonderful work.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting! It's encouraging to see comments about the hands and symbolism of the animatic; it assures me that I'm doing something right with storytelling 🥹 I'm glad you enjoyed it!!
Actually crying at how gorgeous this is. The staging and symbolism, how things line up with the lyrics. Very well done.
This is absolutely incredible, it captures Nico robin so well, you have done such a wonderful job !! The cinematography is perfect and it’s so emotion brimming 😭😭💕💕 well done 💖💖
Great art and even greater song choice as i think it fit very well with robins overall arc pre timeskip
This is genuinely beautiful in every form of the word. I wish I could articulate how much I will be thinking about this for who knows how long oh my Goodness. I cried like this is amazing. The hands. The dancing in the rain. The push and pull of hope and despair - the wings. This is incredible and inspirational work I am in awe, seriously. This is the type of stuff that makes me love creating and love seeing others create. You are amazing
Thank you so much!! These words mean a lot, especially in times when it seems like some people don't appreciate creators like you and me. I'm so glad my animatic could impact such a big Robin fan!! It's really encouraging to hear that the choices I made in storyboarding have had such an effect, although I will say each time that Aurora's song and Oda's story already did most of the work ^^;
@@trinblom PLEASE don't sell yourself short this is incredible. They may have laid the foundation but you built something beautiful!!! I can't wait to see what else you come up with one day!!!
@@WigglestheTuff aghhh I know; I'm working on owning up to the effort I've put into this! Impostor syndrome is trying to dismiss the literal weeks spent on the project :') Thank you so much for being so encouraging!!
oh my GOD this is INSANE!!!!! i am IN LOVE with the theme of robin reaching out to help herself up AND THEN ITS THE STRAWHATS REACHING OUT TO HER!!!!!!!
The scene where their kid versions were climbing up a tree❤❤ Ussop helping Chopper, Nami getting pulled up by Luffy, and Sanji getting mad at Zoro for going the other way 😂
This made cry with a smile, I love Robin! She may not be my fav Mugi, but she is my favorite female character. I love how much emotion went into this
10/10 i cried iam typing this with tears iin my eyes. when the fire turns into the arms of the strawhats? i bawled.
This is freaking beautiful holy shit. Like huh?? just WHAT. This is such a specific intersection too, I can't believe someone else likes Aurora and One Piece enough to do something like this!
I love how thru out the animatic, Robins been using her own arms to pull herself, showing how for most of her life shes had to relie on herself. But then at the end the rest of the strawhats hold out there arms, showing how shes no longer alone.
3:16 the arms being the colors of all her friends made me shit tears I love this so much.
As a One Piece fan AND suck at perspective and animations, I’m subbing rn
her using her hands to climb the tree is so SMART!
To think I originally thought to have her climb like a normal person smh
the way I started SOBBING
AN ABSOLUTE PIECE OF ART ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much!!!
I'M NOT CRYING, IT'S JUST THAT A BIT OF NAKAMARADERY GOT INTO MY EYE 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I'm taking "nakamaraderie" now, thanks. (And thank you for watching!!)
AHHHH it’s perfect the animation and camera angles are just incredible ALSO ROBIN thank uuu 🫶🫶
Ahhh someone else complimented my choice in camera angles and that honestly means so much since I'm always trying to better my boards! QAQ Thank you so much!!
Thanks I cried my eyes out. The facial expressions, the little robin dancing and some of the other shots were fantastic
The juxtaposition of her reaching for her own hand near the start and then the crew's hands reaching out later is an obvious highlight, but what I really love is around 2:26. The way her face changes from startled to neutral could be her putting her poker face on, but to me it's like she's thinking, "It's over now. It was inevitable." It makes the joy on her face later hit all the harder.
i adore this animatic so much. the first time i watched it i cried. this song is such a perfect choice for robin, and the way you draw her is so beautiful. Her expressions are done so well, and the lonely isolation she feels when shes running her whole life shows very clearly in ur work. I truly love this animation so much, robins one of my fave strawhats n this makes me appreciate how beautiful her story is and how heartwarming the crews continuous acceptance of her is! its so so lovely. thank you for making this!!!
I DIDNT EXPECT TO CRY THIS HARD
After having Aurora sing "My sails are set" for nami in the Live action. When we get to Ennies lobby like in 4 or 5 years from now, I hope this sounds there for Robin.
I loved this so so so much. The shots and transitions were so dynamic. I love how you focused on how Robin grew into her family with the Strawhats and gave all of them a scene. Very happy to see amazing One Piece animatics being created even now and I can’t wait to see your next work One Piece or not.
Thank you so much! I originally just planned to have a Robin/Nami scene, but as I drew the actual storyboards I thought it would be more impactful to see her bond with all of the members 🥹 I'm glad the scenes I thought to add later have been people's favorite partsQ
This really fits my friendwave ascetic. Total hope-core vibes.
Excuse me?? How does this not have a million likes.
This is absolutely incredible.
The emotion portrayed in such a short video is astounding, not to mention the art and animation.
A truly perfect song for Robin, and the scene where the poneglyph falls on top of Robin oh my god.
And when Robin creates wings at the end, holding chopper - goosebumps. Literal goosebumps.
Fuck. shot right in the feels. you should be really proud of the animation work dude
Ok all their hands reaching out to her got me to cry! Great job!
AHHHHH this is so beautiful holy shit??? The imagery with the hands, the exchange between it being her hands supporting herself, and then her friends supporting and leading her on-- and then to have her in turn supporting them
frheuginrthrth
I have a lot of emotions about this. Thank you for this wonderful work 💜
WHAAAT?!?! THIS IS INSANE!!! Every shot is incredible, the changing perspective, the transitions, the fluid character animation, the layout of each shot, the facial expressions, the sheer BREADTH of Robin's story this covers??? I am in awe, putting aside how much of a masterpiece this is technically, it evokes so much emotion, it really amplifies the lyrics.
Truly breath taking
This was absoluterly beautiful oh my god??
Im at the end of water 7 rn and this made me extremely excited to see Enies lobby arc
Oh my LORD, Please refine this animation!
Let's go!! I wonder how Netflix going to adapt Robin backstory
WOW this is so incredibly pretty… and the STORYTELLING. RAHHH. I love Robin with all my heart and this does her so much justice
This is, without exaggeration, one of my top 3 favorite One Piece animations that don't come from the show itself. It's glorious, and you should be proud of your brilliant work.
Thank you so much! It really means a lot to hear that so many people have enjoyed what I made ;_;
DUDE! TRIN! THAT WAS STUNNING! THE MOVEMENT, THE TRANSITIONS, THE TIMING, THE EXPRESSIONS, STRUCTURE OF YOUR ACTUAL ART! I'm so blown away by the quality, you deserve way more recognition for this! Keep up the incredible work!💜
absolutely GORGEOUS, one of my favorite animatics i've ever watched, period. you did a fantastic job!!!!!!!!!
This animation is what made me finally start One Piece la few days ago! I’m on S1 episode 50, and so far I’m loving it!
I am so honored 😭 Welcome to the crew!
