- You ever wondered how WWX’s death went about? Yeah same bruh
I’ve actually been screaming about this song for at least half a year but it was only recently that I did anything about it (it did take like 2 months of work tho oof!). The animatic was hugely inspired by the Star vs. the Forces of Evil animatic done by Art of Rhues which centred around Eclipsa (which is brilliant please positively check it outtttt!!!)
This is my 2nd animatic anddd I hope you enjoyed it :”)
(EDIT!!!!
A lot of people are asking so: This was created using a combination of Clip studio paint converted photoshop files (for the drawings) and After effects (for the moving part)
I was really surprised that so many people liked this animatic! I do read comments and they reaaaally make my day 100% brighter. Thank you so much for the support and I look forward to making more! hopefully!!!)
Come scream about MDZS with me on twitter! (this is the acc with 90% of the mdzs content): @moroll1
And if you want to check out stuff unrelated to it come find me on insta: @frozenladybugo
(feel free to ask me anything about the animatic btw!! happy to help)

For those asking, the characters here are from the Chinese novel MoDaoZuShi or The grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation. WeiWuXian, a demonic cultivator feared and hated by millions was killed 13 years prior to the main story (which is what this animatic is about) and was summoned back to life due to mysterious reasons! There are English translations online and its definitely worth a read! If that's not your style you can also check out the Donghua or comic under the same name, as well as the drama called "The Untamed"
Is there any English translation you would recommend?
@@opalishmoth8591 Ahh I read the novel in Chinese but it seems like Exiled Rebels scanlations is a popular English version to read! Heres the link! vv:

(happy reading : )) )
Ho Ching Kwok Thank you so much!
My only complaint is that there are too many names.
I didn’t want to admit how long it took me to realize Lan Zhan / Lan WangJi / HanGuang-Jun were the same person.
Im pretty sure the only reason I’m getting confused is because I’m not super familiar with Chinese culture (and naming conventions).
And just when I started to get the hang of who was who, more names are introduced
I guess that shows how invested I am in the story. Even though I had to often go back and reread parts, my confusion hasn’t stoped me from enjoying the story lol
There is also an anime, just saying
JIANG YANLI AT THE "MOTHER" PART I'M SOBBING
Because she was the one to raise both Jiang Cheng and Wei Ying
Ngl I was low-key expecting Madam Yu but noooo they went with the _lets-wrip-her-heart_
Oh a classic 🍷
I mean Yanli deserved to be the mother part cause let's be real here, Madam You treated Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian like shit she doesn't deserve it.
Bro I started to
Fun fact for those who missed it : the reason why men of ancient era had long hair was because it represented what your parents gave to you (birth) so wwx deciding to cut off his hair represented him letting himself go (preparing for death) and releasing his family
:0 interesting fact
Damn, That's sad
Since I got interested in cultivation and saw more thing related to ancient China, I was wondering what it was with the long hair. I guessed it was a cultural thing, but this was an interesting fact to learn.
How that you mention, I can't recall anyone in MDZS having short hair. Huh, I never really noticed.
@@deceitfulhero1723
Yeah and I was like thinking Why does Nie Huaisang have Short hair since they were young?
"bring back the sun"
as in.... protect the wen remnants.... the last of the qishan wen sect, that had the sun as its motif.... excuse me while i sob
I have no idea what that is but it sounds like a cool metaphor or something in the lyrics :)
i would also like to add that sun sounds the same as son.... so a-yuan....... oh......... oh no........
...I cry now.
@@allisonthefox9900 it like wen sect lead by wen ruohan were like part antagonists team in past of wei wuxian before he became yiling patriarch. Qishan wen sect were like peace loving part of wen clan so yeah wwx cared for qishan sect very much and that is what this mv is about
I am very hurt by the people who were against protection INNOCENT Wen clan sect members, Wei Wuxian did the right thing but had the wrong actions, hurting many around him but also getting hurt in the process. MDZS is definitely one of the best Chinese BL novels I’ve EVER read
WHEN HE CUT HIS HAIR.... that was such a powerful moment.
Your icon is perfect for this comment
Like Sakura cutting her hair?-
I agree
You Go Wei Wuxian My Gay Baby Mama
@@lianecajipe5138 Nothing like that actually. Him cutting his hair is actually a very serious thing because long hair signified the life your parents gave to him so cutting it was him letting them go. Sakura did it for different reasons. At least that's what I think.
I've read the whole novel and this is the closest to how WWX felt when he found out he was going to be killed.
This part was always hard for me to read in the novel, cause Wei WuXian seemed so sad and a bit defeated. He only wanted the strength to protect those he cared for, and those same people seemed to keep turning against him the harder he tried.
What is the name of the novel?
Alba Lahoz Gascón translated is Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation
^^^ mhm! Tho it's mainly known as Mo Dao Zu Shi
@@albalahozgascon7457 grandmaster of demonic cultivation
ok i'm on my fifth rewatch and. the ending gets me every time. I'm just. the first time I went, "oh my god are we really going to see wwx DIE" and then it just. cuts to black. and you don't see it but. bUT THEN YOU SEE /LAN ZHAN/. YOU SEE LAN ZHAN /FEELING/ IT. AND THERE'S ONLY SILENCE. AND YOU KNOW. YOU /KNOW/ HE'S DEAD? AND IT'S. IT'S _WORSE????_ imma go lie down again
beelioning perfectly stated, I had the exact same reaction!
Same
SAMEEEE
ME RN
Where did you find ending?
CAN I SAY HOW MUCH I LOVE THE DESIGN OF THE FIERCE CORPSES(?) OH MY GOD
THEY’RE ALL SO *AGGRESSIVELY HAND GESTURES BECAUSE I CAN’T E X P L A I N*
@@Aigecura I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU MEAN, i kept rewatching just to look at all their designs aaaaaaaaaaaa
@@Aigecura I love it too
They remind me so much of traditional yokai drawings which would make sense.
This is what the live action was missing. The confusion, the ambigous morality Wwx had, the grim determination and the acceptance. Absolutely beatiful work
One can blame some of these on the censorship, but yeah. I wasn't happy with how there was a second flute player and such.
Censorship did ruined things but the burial mound seige and Wei Ying's reaction after knowing that they killed everyone ,after everything he lost just to keep them alive had me sobbing for real , he knew that this was the end of path for him and the time when he stood up on the roof and showed them what he really could do and they should fear him . Aahhh, Xiao Zhan's acting was phenomenal . The cruel "hero's dilemma" This is why I just love MXTX heroes/ Protagonists, the Grey zone the characters are in, and the contradiction that revolves around them is just so savory .
@@shockingheaven wait for real? so there was never a second flute player???
@@anonimous517 nope they added it to make wwx's character more palatable for the audience, the "main character can do no wrong and must be perfect" attitude, i highly recommend reading the books to understand both his and lan wangji's true personalities better, live action mellowed both of them a lot
@@reynidaze Owww interesting... and I was thinking that the anime had omitted that! Thanks 👍
...I'm just glad I'm not the only person who thought this song suited the siege of the burial mounds
What's this siege of the mounds?
SAME
Kell Harris in MDZS, Wei Wuxian dies when the Cultivation World sieges the Burial Mounds and kills everyone there!
@@Psychoinnocent oh thank you.
"is the thing they see the thing I have to be" dude that fucking hurt
SPOILER AHEAD!
in the novel it was three months after JYL's death that WWX is finally killed, supposedly because his power backfired on him but the implication (or popular headcanon) is that it was suicide - he hated himself so much that his puppets turned on him, just like how they turned on JZS... I always imagined WWX as shell shocked in all of these three months, grieving his sister's death, grieving for Wen Qing and Wen Ning who were his last friends, blaming himself for their deaths and for the thousands of innocent lives he took in the aftermath of JYL's death, but he can't let go just yet because there were still other innocent Wens to protect.. there was no where left to run to so I think they were really just.. waiting for their deaths to come, and for WWX it was just him slowly going crazy alone in Burial Mounds... and in the end when the second siege occurred, he was really fighting for no reason, for a lost cause...
Ive always thought it was the backlash from destroying the amulet that turned his corpses against him, which is part of the reason why he waited until the last possible moment to destroy it.
Honestly, I have rewatched this masterpiece so many many times now
same, is amazing ;;;
fr ive lost count at this point
A
Fengmian: appears
Me: ok...it hurts a lil
Yanli: slides in
Me:....alright how dare you
Lan zhan
"BRO WHY DO U HURT ME LIKE THIS"
Overall everything about this animatic looks amazing!! Thank you for this and cant wait to see more of your work
Honesty, this was me too XD
TT^TT
I feel the same :'(
I choked up a little when Jiang Yanli came on. T_T
No shame in crying, right?
where is Lan Zhan? I can't see him there. Or did you mean the one who is actually Lan Xichen?
I was totally fine, being a pro at keeping the feelings in check throughout the whole video and then Lan WangJi at the end.... Bruh... I literally screamed "MAH BABYYYY!!!" 😢😢😢😢
LITERALLY I STARTED CRYING FROM THAT ALONE.
As someone reading the novel, the Manhwa and watching the animation and watched the live action, I've never seen an animatic show and convay Wei's thoughts and feelings so well. After all, the man never betrayed his principals and beliefs, even when he lost all that he loved because he believed it was right. This was so well drawn and animated, just well done. Hands down, well done.
When song said "Caught in a war that I never meant to wage" it really does fit what he did for the Wen Clan, and accidentally losing control on Wen Ning. He never meant for things to turn South, but because of them not knowing the truth at all as to why he turned that way, it just hurts when all he could in his first life is just accept all the backlash when there's much more hidden there.
MY POOR BABY BOI, IM SO GLAD YOU FINALLY GOT THE REDEMPTION/HAPPY ENDING IN YOUR SECOND LIFE GOD BLESS
I was like holy cow when wei wuxian cut his hair with the sword because he looked so different and i cried when it showed clan leader Jiang and yanli
It hurts even more when Wei Ying says he isn’t and won’t be a monster, showing that it doesn’t matter what anyone else will say because he’ll fight back. But Lan Wang Ji was shown in the end, eyes filled with tears and body painted with permanent wounds. Lan Zhan never thought Wei Ying was a monster. Wei Ying never got to know that though. Not only that, Jiang Cheng never thought he was a monster either. He said he hated him, but deep down inside the entire time the battle went on, Jiang Cheng knew it was his brother he was fighting, and it was his brother that died. Lan Zhan lost his soul mate, and Jiang Cheng lost his brother. And they both knew it. Only thing is that Wei Wu Xian didn’t. That’s what makes this more painful. It’s that Wei Wu Xian didn’t have the chance to know.
wwx cutitng his hair here was SO powerful. Long hair heavily symbolised ones ties to their family, and even book wwx was constantly pretending he isn't close with his family for their own protection until it ultimately destroyed them and his relationship to them. Cutting his hair along with the lyrics there really showed his willingness to everything on the line for his morals and ambitions. He put everything on the line to protect both the people he loves and the people he truly believes are worth saving, even if he's the only person that believes they deserve life. His death makes me so emotional because, while of course he was in the wrong on many things, a lot of what he's blamed for by both characters and fandom are things that he either HAD to do to survive (ie take up demonic cultivation) or did so out of a strong sense of moral. He truly wasn't a monster for protecting the innocent Wen even if everyone, FANDOM INCLUDED AT TIMES, tries to convince him he is.
Rewatching this and listen I understand I’m biased towards the Wen Remnants but oof Jiang Yanli giving Wei Wuxian the Wen Doll... reminding him of why he’s been fighting so hard...
i initially thought it was just a reference to Wen Yuan! but like its so easy to forget that Wei Wuxian’s original goal wasn’t to scare people or be a threat! Wen Qing begged for help and he saw people in need of help, and /helped/ them, and they accepted him into their life! They go from being fearful to welcoming him into their family and (clutches heart) i love them your honor.
And the “being back the sun” line with the Wens in general!!! Hey OP !!!
I love the "bring back the sun" part with the Wen Sect because their symbol was the sun. It's very fitting and clever usage of the lyrics. Also this is beautiful and I get chills everytime I watch it. And thank you for featuring tortured looking Jiang Cheng because I feel like he was probably more horrified than angry at that point.
Every time I replay this it hits just a little harder- and at the end with the chanting of monster coming back into the background, it makes it seem like it’s Jc saying it since he’s the only other one with his mouth open besides Wwx...
dunno what else to say, it just hits so hard for me.
WAIT THINKING ABOUT IT MORE MAKES ME THINK HES TRY TO CONVINCE HIMSELF THAT WWX *IS* A MONSTER AND I- hhhh am not okay
Adding more cause I haven’t stopped watching this yet-
So! I also like to think the reason Jc is the only one saying monster verbally versus everyone else, is the idea that to everyone else is that they are already convinced of the ‘fact’ wwx is a monster so it doesn’t have to be stated to themselves.
So like, yanli hand's him a-yuan's children's toy. And since the doll is black and white, the pattern on its clothes could be that of a wen soldier, or could be made to look like his xian-gege!
BRO WHAT I LITERALLY CRIED WHEN JIANG FENGMIAN CAME OUT BUT THEN YOU HIT MW WITH YANLI????? IM DEVASTATED!!!
Fun fact:
I cried at 4:00 am watching this because i felt the emotions Wei Wuxian is feeling---
i am crying and it's just 8 pm
I’m crying so hard rn
Oof, that hit at the end with Lan Zhan... You did a beautiful job on this! I can only imagine the work this must have taken. Your visual storytelling is really impressive, particularly with facial expressions. I was really drawn to how every shot of Jiang Cheng showed such pained conflict between his duty as clan leader and actually leading the hunt for his own brother.
TRU I AGREE SO HARD
I also loved the shots of Jiang Cheng. The poor thing :(
EVERYONE NEEDED TO EAT A FUCKING SNICKERS YESUS. Im just glad the poor boy got his happily ever after the second time
Me, watching this before reading MDZS: wow, this is a really well done animatic- very nice
Me, watching this after reading MDZS: *incoherent sobbing*
This had so many tight scenes but the "in a cage" is probably my favourite
Like the energy was just so fucking good I keep repeating that scene. Like the pulse going off is just * chefs kiss*
When he cut his hair I gasped and had to replay the scene just to make sure I didn't imagine it. I know just enough to know that this is serious business and he considers himself dead.
This hurts every single time. Wei WuXian's death is one of the most tragic things I've experienced in fiction. It never stops hurting.
this video sent me on a spiral of:
- oh wow cool animatic with cool story, gonna go find out the title
- oh dang, the animations pretty good- there's a manhua version?
- wowee read the manhua and watched the whole animation in 2 days
- oh the novel? uh yes please
its been 3 days since I first found this animatic and I'm already halfway through the novel, finished the animation version, watched numerous clips from the audio drama, am on episode 2 od the drama (the untamed), and finished reading up to chapter 150 of the manhua.
im
i need my brain to chill the frick frack paddy wack out
Everybody was the same as you... I read the novel nonstop for days barely slept, watched the whole donghua, watched the whole show Untamed in a matter of days and so on... this story just doesn't let u go
REST FRIEND
Omg same. After watching this video some weeks ago I'm halfway thru the donghua , the live-action, AND the novel. I'd read the manhua too but I'm trying to pace myself
@@deltaweathers where did u read the novel?
@@adriblossom5208 I'm reading the fan translated ver on Exiled Rebels (for free online! just search them up) since I'm still saving up for the official English novels
This is one of the most beautiful MDZS animatic I have seen in years...no, one the most amazing animatics in all fandoms that I have seen, is gorgeaus!!! I love it!! Thank you so much for show this to us.
So i've never heard of MDZS before and have to thank you for introducing me to it since i've recently started watching it and so far am loving it
Also great video of course, ended up rewatching it several times
There's the drama too and it's amazing, there are some differences but they are both amazing, the drama is called the untamed and , unlike the donghua, is complete.
There is also a novel it was all originally based off of
And there is also audio drama episodes, some of which are extra scenes
And there is also a Manhwa, if you want to see it in images. They made a new chibi series too xD
In conclusion there is:
-A Novel called "Mo Dao Zu Shi" (The original)
-A drama series that is complete called "The Untamed"
-A Donghua incomplete called "Mo Dao Zu Shi" (Donghua is chinese anime)
-A chibi series that are pretty new
-A Manhwa, I think it is complete.
-And Audio Dramas, there are some extra things.
In conclusion, it has a looooot of things xD
Oh, and, as you can see, there is the principal couple. it is gay ¿? And I warn you about the Incense Burner extras, those are weird af xdxd
to quote jake peralta: "cHILLS, LITERAL CHILLS"
I have no idea who these characters are but oh my God??? The power???
First of all, my first time listening to what I believe is a Frozen musical song? Great song choice went beautifully.
The reflection in the red water (?) solemnly starting to question his own nature due to others words.
Asking his parents for guidance... The two little children cuddling with the father... The DOLL???Idk it's significance but I am HERE for it.
Cutting hair? Just 👌👌👌 beautiful. The emotional climax to his whole dilemma, the skeletons crawling out as he stands up ready to fight, no longer hiding regardless of the fate that'll befall him?
The strength the courage just amazing!
The cut to black had me confused, especially bc I don't know who the last guy was, but the glimmering in his eyes?? You KNOW.
h . ad well, this is based on a Chinese novel called Mo Dao Zu Shi (grandmaster of demonic cultivation). It’s a great story full of action and drama...and this is a very crucial part of the history. The English translation of the novel is available online for free. So give it a try, it’s worth the time.
@@eri2408 I will! Thank you for telling me the name!
In case you haven’t had a chance to read the novel yet (which, 10/10’would recommend since that’s what this video is specifically based off of)
The “Father” is actually his dad’s best friend, Jiang Fengmian, who takes Wei Wuxian (our protagonist) in when he’s around 9 years old! The “mother” is Jiang Fengmian’s daughter, Jiang Yanli, who is older than Wei Wuxian and her little brother Jiang Cheng! She’s a nurturing and calming presence in Wei Wuxian’s life and the closest thing he has to a mother, since both his parents died when he was young.
Also the other little boy? Jiang Cheng- you see him at the 1:32 mark!
The man at the end- his name is Lan Zhan/Lan Wangji!
For the record this novel has a canon gay couple, and it does have explicit sexual content after ch. 90 - not every chapter but like thats around when it becomes a bit more present! But its a fun story and I adore it to shreds.
h . ad the last part.... it hurts even more after reading the novel
@@Psychoinnocent I can't believe you just called mo dao zu shi story fun ^^
,, fear will be my enemy". I've always thought that the reason for him being able to control everything was because he always knew what to do, he was calm and collected. When he finally snapped and was overwhelmed by feelings, corpses went against him. Layer he was only more guilty and overhelmed, he didn't stop it and couldn't do anything. Finally he went into madness
“Bring back the sun” *Shows the Wens*
Lan Wangji at the end!!! Literally everything in this animatic!!!! (Screams)
Hey OP thats my /heart/ thanks
This is one of the best animatics I’ve ever watched in my life. Now I really want a sequel
To this Day
I thank the algorithm for showing me this animatic because of it I read the whole novel and fell in love with it
Next is to read Heavenly Official
It's the symbolism behind the cutting of his hair for me.
Oh my god I've found this again, I saw this a long while ago before I knew about mdzs and just never looked into what this was about?? and NOW I read and watched it, I can actually *appreciate this* like it deserves
I-I thought I finally got over it but then when it cut to Lan Zhan I just found myself hurting again like...damn. This is so powerful and heart breaking. My heart aches seeing Wei Wuxian fighting with Jiang Cheng and everyone all alone like...no my poor baby
at the part where in the crowd Jiang Cheng had the face which made my heart churn in pain JC probably didn't want him to be a monster and where both groups are about to battle JC's expression really hurt me and with the song it really hit hard.
me rewatching this after 2 years and can I say that WWX SLAYED THAT HAIRCUT? go boyyyyyy
BROOOO BROOOO THIS IS MY NEW FAVORITE THING THIS IS SO AMAZING WTF I WASNT EXPECTING IT TO GO SO HARD BUT IT DID AND IM FLOORED SJJDKSKSKS AMAZING AMAZING IM LOSING MY MINDDDD
wwx reaching for the yunmeng clarity bell, jc leading the siege to the burial mounds, wwx hallucinating about jfm and jyl, lwj crying in the end and the portrayal of wwx’s emotions…this video is so incredible !!!
I will never ever get over this video
It lives in he head rent free 24/7
i’m not crying..... i just got something in both of my eyes
i am shattered this is SO GOOD I HURT XD the lyrics fit so well and the expressions? are so perfect?? and wwx cutting his hair and everyones expressions at the final fight and lwj at the end i just,,, i need a moment i love this so much amazing work op the pacing is gorgeous
WHYYYYYYYY I WAS SO INVESTED IN WHAT WAS HAPPENING I DIDNT EVEN NOTICE THAT THE VIDEO WAS ENDING AND NOW I FEEL EMPTY. I CNAT. THIS IS SO SAD, I NEED A ANOTHER PART TO THIS WHERE WWX GETS A HAPPY ENDING PELASE IM BEGGING YOU. THE ART WAS AMAZING by the way. The way you show emotion? Immaculate. The flow? Beautiful. The background? Fucking fantastic. Everything was perfect. The music choice was perfect. How the father and mother part was so good. That part where he cuts his hair was amazing. The little doll reminded me of Milan and just how devastating that last little bit was just ....*chefs kiss*
Okay I'm throwing hands with whoever hit that dislike button, this video is an absolute masterpiece. You did such a great job with details and making sure we see how each of the characters feel about this siege, and the fact that LWJ wasn't there but really FELT when WWX died, and the turmoil in JC eyes, and the fight or flight of WWX it all just... wow
I just want to say this animatic was the thing that finally convinced me to start MDZS a year ago, and thank you because it’s the most obsessed I’ve ever been with a story and fandom
This deserves millions of views oh my god- every MDZS fan needs to see this masterpiece. You just turned this into Wei Wuxian’s song
the editing?? the expressions!!?? the storytelling!?1? you nailed everything. I adore practically every second of this video and admire all of the hard work you put into this, thank you.
I have NO IDEA what this is about but I LOVE IT!!! Everything's so expressive and just. my gods. I am SO jealous of how good your art is!!!! I can't imagine myself making anything even coming close to the excellence of this!!!! This is just amazing!!!!
Edit: I read the novels & Comics and watched the anime and am currently working on the audio drama and I am SOBBINGGGGG. OH MY GODS THIS HURTS SO MUCHHHHHH AGGGHHHHHHHHH. JIANG YANLI?????? JIANG CHENG??????? LAN WANGJI AT THE END???????? OUCH. I AM GOING TO CURL INTO A BALL AND SOB FOR A COUPLE YEARS THANK YOU
It’s nice seeing the touch of Wei Ying cutting his hair! As a Chinese I’m really happy more people are getting interested in the ancient culture of Chinese so it’s nice
It's like the guy at 1:31 doesn't want to hurt him and when they got to the room near the end of the video, he may be shocked at the site in front of him then crying afterwards with bandages cause he loved him or something. Still don't know about that really.
SOME SPOILERS AHEAD!!
The guy at 1:31 is his adopted brother jiang Cheng and he was the one who lead the siege to Wei Ying {the one at the beginning}. The one at the end is lan zhan he loves Wei Ying but he has the bandages because he protected Wei Ying against his clan thus getting 33 whip marka for all the elders he hit. He's crying because it's like a connection showing that hes been told of Wei Ying's death
you're kind of right, however. there's some mistakes. the guy (jc) does in fact not want to hurt him (wwx) /at least not yet lmao/ but that's cuz wwx is his brother. the other guy is wwx's love interest. he's crying because he just found out that wwx died.
how did it only just hit me? the sheer musicality of this animatic. Like, EVERRRYTHINGG????? moves with the beat, drums or piano. just omggggg WELL DONE!
THIS NEEDED SO MUCH WORK!!??? Literally can't describe how EPIC this looks!!! The every movement, frame, every second it's all PERFECT and they fit together in such harmony with the song!! AAAA
When i first watched this, i didnt know anything about MDZS
But now after watching the Donghua S2 and read half of the novel i can only watch in tears
your mastery over the colouring in this whole animatic is staggering
Ive never heard of MDZS before but I am so totslly looking for the books the movies everythjng! I wanna watch thiiiis!
HOLY HELL IVE WATCHED THIS SO MANY TIMES BUT I NEVER NOTICED LWJ AT THE END
Just realized, that at 0:35 wwx is hovering over the jiang bell (I dunno if it’s supposed to be the one made for Jin ling or his own, but it’s a jiang bell) and when he reaches for it “fear will your enemy and death it’s consequence” plays and the candle flame hovers right over where his golden core would be. It’s just super small symbolism that I didn’t notice until now, the like hundredth rewatch. I feel like it’s a little bit of him wanting to reach out to jc and being unable to without acknowledging the golden core situation. And then he walks away from the things representing his family and his golden core willingly, just like he did to the actual things. The candle placement,,, hurts.
This is freaking AMAZING 😍😍, damn Wei Wuxian with short hair looks good. Your Animation is amazing and so is your drawing.
the part with the tiger seal is the start of ALL the bad feelings for me
I'M SO MAD. THAT I JUST DISCOVERED THIS NOW AND NOT EARLIER. F*CK THIS IS GOOD.
THE STORYBOARDS. THE BACKGROUNDS. THE MOVEMENT AND SMOOTHNESS OF THE ANIMATION. THE CHARACTER DESINGS.
AND THE STYLE.
Amazing. Beautiful. Heartbreaking.
Your designs for the characters are so gorgeous!! I don't know what it is about them, but I had to pause on like every frame of wwx and be like... wtf this is the perfect wwx??? Also that moving shot of all the Wens _killed_ me. It flowed so perfectly, I had to watch it like 10 times lol
The moment I saw Jiang Yanli's spirit hug Wei Ying I burst into tears! This is so well done and I love all of the emotions that Wei Ying shows. And then, we see Lan Zhan crying at the end! Hurts so bad, you did a good job.
3:02 me encanto esta escena!!, hasta me dieron escalofrios, EXELENTE TRABAJO!!
Por fin alguien que habla mi idioma xD
this my favorite thing i've ever watched, the amount i have it on repeat
God, I came here not knowing what this was, then wanting to know more I watched the anime version of this.
Thank you so much for showing me something great. Re-watching it now has such a different feel. Honestly can say this may be a top ten of mine now.
Two years later and this still hurts me so bad.
I'm glad that MDZS is in mainstream rn so I'm not the only one hurt HAHAHAHAHAHA
Omw to reread! Good luck to the newbies
This was my discovering of MoDaoZuShi, which lead me into a rabbit hole of watching everything I could and reading the novel. My absolute favorite thing ever!
This is your SECOND animatic? YOUR A FREAKING LEGEND!!!! 😱👏👏👏👏
Omgggggg i got goosebumps from the part he cut off his hair till the end and then Wang Ji with his wounds just finished me and I left sobbing... Amazing work!
THE FACT THAT THIS SONG FITS WEI WUXIAN PERFECTLY MADE ME WANT TO SCREAM MY HEART OUT! LAN ZHAN!!!GO SAVE YOUR BAE! !!!
This is honestly one of the best animatics ive seen. The song choice is perfect for wwx and the art is so we'll drawn. 10/10 watched this at least 8 times
This song is so perfect for his story 😍
THE ONLY VIDEO THAT GIVES ME CHILLS AND MAKES MY EYES WELL UP
Is amazing how this song fits perfectly with Wei Ying's situation 😯😟😭💔
Watching the video for the thousandth time 👍🏻
I was so obsessed with your animatic that I finally decided to watch MDZS. And I regret nothing.
So thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for sharing your work. I loved it
Why did it took so long FOR THIS TO GET ON MY FOR YOU PAGE!!!! I SWEAR WHEN WEI YING WAS HOLDING WEN YUAN TOY I WAS BALLING MY EYES OUT AND THEN LAN ZHAN AT THE END.......you did an amazing job of making me feel many things😭
I watched this years ago for the first time and thought it was beautiful. Watching it now after reading MDZS has effectively turned me into an incoherent, blubbering mess. My chest feels like it’s yawning open. The emotions you’re able to express in your art and direction (especially when we see the wen remnants and the light they bring, the people he’s fighting for, only to suddenly cut to all of the EPICLY rising corpses coupled Wei Wuxian’s new found grim determination) is phenomenal, and I love how you use color in this. Everything about this is just so perfect and you should be proud of making this absolute fucking MASTERPIECE.
holy shit this is so good aksdf the symbolism when he cut his hair akdflk I cannot put how good this is into words but gosh I can guarantee I won't be able to get this animatic out of my head
I remember crying in the theater when I first heard this song performed,,, now I’m bawlin g again at home beautifully this fits Yiling Laozu 😭🥺😭🥺😭🥺😭🥺😭🥺🙏😭😭🙏🥺 YOU DID AN AMAZING JOB!!!!
Every time I come back to watch this I end up a sobbing mess.
This animatic brought me into the fandom and now Im addicted
When he cut his hair I swear I almost cried. This hurts me, but in a way that I want to watch it repeatedly? But yeah, it’s great!
Known this character for 3 min, already ready to die for him
*sob*
Well then wen you know that his own brother betrayed him(Who he tried to also protect btw) because others were against him and the brother didnt had the balls to stand for him and just prefered to join the hunt....also blames him for their sisters death EVEN IF HE HAD NO CONTROL OVER IT.Yeah..and the guy with blue eyes and at the end loved him and wanted to actually save him but didn’t make it so he waited 13 years for to meet him again(he was given a body vessel and uses it now) and THEN confess their love....my friend *pases you the sword* 🙃
@@lAuReN-jq1ml That is simply not true. You need to read the book over again, if you're going to pretend that the relationship and political conflict between WWX and JC wasn't more complicated than what you laid out. No he shouldn't have blamed him for JYL's death, BUT JC's entire clan was massacred, and his duty was to his clan and rebuilding that clan, first and foremost. Please.
@@SeraLunaCharm yeah i know,i just gave her another dramatic reason,ofc i know what the truth is and that he had every reason to be emotionally troubled and conflicted but i took talked about the bad look of it just for comedy reasons.I do have to admit that u are right,wen i wrote this i only watched the anime so far and only later on watched the irl show on netflix.So dont worry i know the truth now better.
I keep coming back to this, it is truly brilliant ! The movement, the transitions like ! Wow ! Good job.
Its sad where every clans fought with wwx together :( when all of them were getting along from the start,it just hurt sso much💔
Just stopping in to say that a few hours ago this video popped up, and now I am caught up on a FANTASTIC series I hadn't heard of! Thank you!!!!
I had no idea about what this was from, just clicked because of the gorgeous art, this looks incredible though, im definitely gonna give it a read!
this was damn powerful! and the cut off hair...i'm so sorry for wwx, but he did what he had to do...
really great work!
I love this!!!! I love the symbolism of wei ying cutting his hair which is him freeing himself from his past, but other's will see it as disgraceful (which is a running theme of people not understanding why he choses the actions he takes). Great job!
Я предполагаю что меня здесь не поймут но всё же.
Это просто шикарно. Сколько же времени и труда заняла столь чудесная вещь. У меня просто нет слов💦
This is amazing! Thank you for your work!)))
Господи! Я так рада что тут есть хоть кто-то русскоязычный!

omg... beautiful artwork. and that ending with Lan Wangji... ouch
lan zhan crying at the end completly broke me TToTT
the Jiang family emotions killed me - Jiang Fengmian & Jiang Yanli's ghosts with Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng's turmoil over the Siege (this animatic is so good!)
