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??

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?!

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!

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

The fact that Captain Odysseus uses Captain Levi's signature move just gets me every time! Lol

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

1:35 THE LOTUS EATER 😭😭 AND POLITES, NOOOO MY CHILD

1:46 - Never thought I'd see Odysseus go full Attack on Titan, but damn, am I glad I did

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

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

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

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!

In fairness to Polyphemus, they broke into his home, killed his sheep, his favorite sheep and then told him wine was an equal trade and on top of that they drugged and blinded him. It's hard not to feel bad for the guy

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.

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*.

It's very polite of Polyphemus to just stand and wait for them at the start of the song

It was AMAZING. The design. The expressions. The colors. The timing. The entire animation. MIRCSY YOU HAVE OUTDONE YOURSELF.

2:29 That split screen effect is such a brilliant way to show the soldiers' obliteration AND Odysseus's reaction.

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

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.

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.

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 ♥️♥️♥️

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?

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!

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...

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

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

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!!

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!

2:14 I'M NOT CRYING YOU ARE

The AoT reference to Levi was great and the cyclops design was awesome definitely felt monstrous

"HE KILLED POLITES!" "YOU BASTARD!"

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

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

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

MY ONLY THING ON MY MIND. the tiny. The itty bitty Lotus Eater. I JUST WANNA HUG THE LITTLE THING 😭😭

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

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.” ❤👁️❤

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 !

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.

This animatic is absolutely gorgeous. The detail you put into each scene is incredible. This is a masterpiece.

1:49 Odysseus 🤝Levi Ackermann *gracefully taking down evil titanic beings*

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 cyclops design is horrific and truly sells the horror of the situation. This is amazing.

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.

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 KZfaq 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! 🤗

Ughhhh at 0:21 the “straight ahead! That is who we’re fighting” and he turns the sword and shows the Cyclops! Omg. Then when it shows everyone’s eyes being RED at 1:42 because they’re tired of fighting and they don’t wanna die all they wanna do is get the fuck home, so they’re determined to kill him so they’re “journeys over” everything about this is perfect.

even after watching this animatic like thirty times, i only just realized something about this song, entirely because of the framing of the scene here where polites takes odysseus' hand to help him up after leap-attacking polyphemus. it zooms in on their joined hands, but polyphemus is staring right at them in the background. calculating. it's not coincidence that polites is the first to be killed by polyphemus' club, it's /personal/. "take from you, like you took from me."

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

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.

The image at 1:29 is excellent good job

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! ^_^

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 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

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!

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

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

1:57 IT LOOKS LIKE AN EYE ON TOP OF THE CYCLOPS!

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

0:31 Polites just looks so... disappointed.

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!)❤

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

Ive been waiting for someone to animate Survive, this is incredible

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

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

OH. MY. GODDDDDDDDDD "It's just one life to take" and paired with the image of Astyanax?!?!?!?!? The tears are FLOWING ASJKJJKJKSJSKKJSKSJSKS

YOOO I DIDNT KNOW YOU FINISHED IT

I love the demonic looking glowing eyes, it really shows that the humans were actually kinda in the wrong but still determined to survive even if they had to kill

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.

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.

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.

WHOA THE BLOOD SPLATTERING ON HIS FACE AND THEN HIS HAND REACHING OUT?? I almost cried. This is incredible.

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 love how you interpret characters in your artwork. Especially the gods and monsters. It’s very beautiful.

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,,, 😭

Love how you represent the fire in their eyes with them basically glowing and the fact it vanishes from EVERYONE'S eyes when polites dies

Your interpretation of the cyclops is amazing! This is one of the best animatics you've done of Epic by far!

I am crying so hard right now. this is absolutely amazing. please please PLEASE make "Remember Them", you will do it so much justice

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.

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

Wow. This animatic is so cool. Like- The emotions?! The visuals?! The designs?! LITERALLY EVERYTHING?! I LOVE IT SO MUCH

Cyclops transition - 2:39

At 0:33 The lotus eater looks so sad, and reaching out to Odysseus is so cute! And then, at the next scene, you see the flower on its head had been damaged.

There is so much I love about this animatic. The way the flower on top of the lotus eater’s head starts to lose petals gives me the portrayal that the idea of peace shown in “Open Arms” is falling to pieces when faced with true danger. Also, the way Odysseus attacked Polyphemus at 1:46 looks almost like Levi Ackerman’s god-mode. It gave me a giggle 😭 (iykyk)

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!

"It's just one life to take!" ...shows baby Astyanax I'm in TEARS

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

I mean how... Just how ca you exactly portray what I was feeling whe I heard the song.... This is so freaking amazing!!!!

This is so amazing!!! The cyclops design is so good! I love how you showed the men so confident at first and then it all falls apart right in front of odysseus. Like damn they just needed to hold off for just a little while longer and they couldve been golden. So close. I just watched the animatic before this and i love that odysseus' eyes were red way before the fight. Giving him the wine was enough to bring the monster out. Thats such a great detail

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

This guy knows how to write a story.

The "ENOUGH" tho 2:15

WOOOOOW I love it so much! I really like the design of cyclop. And the moment when Odysseus watched his crew dying MY JAW LITTERALY DROPPED

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.

HOW DO YOU DO THIS??? THIS IS LIKE SO AMAZING?!!!

This is the video that got me into EPIC, I’ve been obsessed ever since

I havent even watch the musical but the cyclops design is so Unique and awesome. Great job👁
