Whoever storyboarded this animation deserves a fuckton of respect. They showed nearly all of TAZ, kept it alien, strange, mysterious, fantastical and unimaginable, only hinted at some of the medium sized plot twists, completely left out the more emotional parts of the story and the Main Plot as to not spoil them.. just, so artistically done. Bravo!

Honest to god, this is one of the main things that got me into TaZ. Years of knowing about it from tumblr fanart, this piece is what has stood out the most, and this is the one thing that's always had me thinking "I'm gonna listen to it some day". The music, the editing, the sheer amount of chaos that make it so intriguing despite not giving away anything, this is the best goddamn trailer ever produced. I've listened to Balance now, finally, and now I love it even more when I can finally recognize the different scenarios. A job well done.

@quinnmarchese6313 3 жыл бұрын

the fact that griffin just decided to do music a few arcs in takes the series from great to fantastic. plus its all him, with the exception of his plantasia covers and the original mort garson as the intro music. the music is honestly my favorite bit, griffin indeed is a capable storyteller, but his music elevates every moment its in. the hype of the final fight in the suffering arc, the eerie, crystalline sound of the crystal kingdom, the lone guitar strings that soundtrack the epilogue, its all absolutely brilliant.

I showed this to my friends who've never listened to TAZ before, and my favorite part of sharing it was just pointing out all the stuff from 1:29 to 2:11 and every second repeating myself "That actually happens. That actually happens. That actually happens." This trailer makes no bullshit up, every second is accurate to the story events of the podcast. Which, for the weird stuff like a town in a bubble going apeshit for a split second then being fine once again, or the instantaneously understandable and awesome stuff like Garyl, really makes me wonder why my friends haven't listened yet. I showed them this trailer almost 2 months ago, I think. I need to up my salesmanship game.

My friend showed me this at his house on a whim while I was visiting him during Christmas break. We were both pretty sleepy at the time and it was so bizarre that I had no idea what was going on. I almost didn't start listening to the podcast cuz I'd never been a podcast person, but I convinced myself to give it a chance and MAAAAAAN am I so happy I did! I became legit obsessed with the Balance Arc. I can't listen at work so I BLAZED through all 69 episodes in my evening free time.

Currently on episode 5 of The Crystal Kingdom... I keep coming back to watch this and it's amazing to see things slowly make more and more sense. On the other hand, there are many shots involving crystals I haven't gotten to yet and I am s c a r e d. Still, it's fun to theorize every time I come back to this. (Also, please let it be known that the moment the elevator was mentioned I could picture the nightmare elevator from this trailer exactly in my mind.) I'll update this comment when I finish the Crystal Kingdom... or if something really crazy happens. Edit as of CC #6: God... lied. Edit as of CC #8: KRAVITZ IS HERE AHHHHH Edit as of CC #11: Kravitz is a 10/10 man. Lucas can suck it. Noelle deserves better. And I'm very scared for what's coming. Also, Julia?? Edit as of 11th Hr #8: HAVEN'T BEEN HERE IN A WHILE -- OOPS! Magnus' backstory ripped my heart out. Love this arc. I love June and Roswell. Edit as of finishing 11th Hr: WHAT THE DLKAJFD;LKAJF;LKSDJF;LDSKJF;LKDSJF;LKSJF;LKDJS Edit as of finishing Reunion Tour: Dude. DUDE. everything makes sense now. And yet... nothing does. Edit as of finishing The Stolen Century: OKAYYY THAT WAS A L O T. I HAVE SUCH MIXED FEELINGS ON LUCRETIA RIGHT NOW. DAVENPORT OH MY G O D THAT IS SO SAD. Y'ALL I CANT!!!!
