THIS WAS SUCH AN AMBITIOUS AU LIKE LIRA SAID, AND YOU ALL SOMEHOW MANAGED TO PULL IT OFF? HOW??
I have to say that I agree that the transition at 2:00 was so good. I actually teared up. I just wanted to point that out before i forgot about it in the rest of my comment. "And in this space, we found us" made me SO GODDAMN EMOTIONAL OH MY GOD. I HAVE ACTUAL TEARS IN MY EYES. SOMETHING ABOUT THAT SENTENCE JUST HIT ME SO HARD, LIKE AFTER ALL THE SEARCHING SOUSUKE HAS DONE, HE HAS FINALLY FOUND THE ONE HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE WITH.
Okay, wow. Wow. I am so floored. We can all tell how much work was put into this and all the pieces put together create such a beautiful story? The music was perfect and set the tone right off the bat. The art was also really really nice and contributed to the atmosphere. I LOVED the minimal use of but also very well-timed text and the font of the text. The writing was so impactful, the most minimal of words that still made me ache in all the right places. The transitions, ESPECIALLY THE ONE AT 2:00 WHERE THE TWO WORLDS AND CHARACTERS FLIPPED TO OVERLAYING TEXT, fit so well into the video and seamlessly tied everything together.
The duality of the two worlds and thus Sousuke and Makoto were so palpable and tangible. The lack of color in the devastated world versus the color in the living one, the way Sousuke lives his life versus Makoto's THEN WHEN THEY MERGE, with Sousuke getting color once he found the memories. I loved that the ending shot was Makoto looking up to Sousuke, but we could all still tell what Sousuke was feeling because his monochrome world had burst into color.
Even the entire concept of "liminal spaces" I'm in love with. Dabs my eyes with tissues and sniffles. Amazing job, Team SouMako.
