Omake Pfadlib | Demon Slayer / KNY Animatic

(WARNING) This video contains huge spoilers for the Demon Slayer manga up to chapter 188 !!

- Hello and welcome back to SADNESS in 3 1/2 MINUTES :')! Sorry for the delay in getting this up, I ended up going back and polishing alot of the artwork in the video to make it as visually appealing as possible haha. This one took another two months of blood, sweat, and (lots of) tears, but I'm overall super happy with the result! I love love l o v e KNY and the manga ending had me in my feelings so I thought it would be fitting to make an emotional video about it to pay it tribute in some capacity.

Evidently, death is quite common in this series, but honestly that's part of what makes Demon Slayer's world so captivating. Instead of just being a lazy way to make a backstory edgy or attempt to pull at heartstrings, death feels like a highly present and universal thing in KNY's universe. Virtually every character has already faced loss, what makes them interesting is how each of them grapple with it and end up perceiving the world as a result. I really do love this series, and while I do think it didn't quite stick the landing, it's definitely worth checking out if this video or description piques your interest at all. :)
And last but certainly not least, I wanted to mention that a few of the frames in this video are heavily inspired by panels from the manga (in fact, 1::50 and 2::02 are literally just gridded replicas!). The series author Gotouge is fantastic at showing movement and emotion, so in frames where I couldn’t effectively capture the story’s events, I turned to them for direct reference. That being said this is only applicable for like 5 frames, as the rest are original, but credit where credit is due :) Check out the manga, their art and improvement over the years is insane!

Also I'm gonna be starting uni in the fall, which I'm super excited for but also a bit sad for since I'll have less time to work on projects like this. I will try to make one more thing before the semester starts though! And when I inevitably create animations and whatnot for my BFA I will be sure to share them here.

Thank you all so much for your support, and enjoy the video! :)

Kanao lost her light
Sanemi lost his sweet brother
Gyomei just wanted to see his kids again
Muichiro was too young
Iguro and Mitsuri simply wanted to get married

And I.... ? I cried like a baby reading this manga 💔

[Lunachu]

I wonder how many anime only's watched this despite the spoiler warning and thought Kanao was half demon/turned into a demon bcs of her eyes lmao

[adoellex]

I'm honored to have had all happiness in my heart absolutely destroyed by such a beautiful animatic.

[g_hurtadoamandaysabelh.]

Oh what's this? Ah yes, the sound of my heart breaking all over again.

[lolilywilliams]

When Shinobu dropped her sword- it broke my heart because it kinda felt like she was giving up.

[bunnyaika]

*the fire in our hearts left us...*
*8 left, now a butterfly dies.*
*the love has left, she bravely died*
*the snake who’m was brave now slithered away*
*the mist in the morning has left for the sky*
*the stone who was rough, has finally broke*
*the sound up very high, has gone higher gone forever*
*the winds left broken with his brother dead*
*only water and wind, left to retire.*

[tea]

I'M NOT CRYING! YOU'RE CRYING!

[simpseven]

Me at the start of the video: " I enjoyed watching what they have so far of the demon slayer anime, but I haven't read the manga yet, but its FINE because i love animatics and I love spoilers and like to have a heads up of what's going to happen later in the series!"

Me at the end of the video: 👁️👄👁️

[cathlooky]

Tears.
Just tears.
Pouring down my face.
Tears.

[lainey]

poor Kanao, her sisters saved her from the streets, and when it came down to it, she could barely even help to save them

[maine]

I'm a huge fan of kny and I've seen tons of animatics, but, this animatic is just something else. This animatic actually made me cry.... This is one of the best kny animatics I've seen. Thank you so much for blessing us with this masterpiece !!! Please make more onegai

Lyrics: Omake Pfadlib

Will I stay where it's safe and sound?
Will I fight 'till I hit the ground?
Inside this bitter cage
All the flowers wilt down in the crimson sky...
Take my hand,
Will we run or stay
In this world full of cruelty?

Will we take arms with the hope to see the sun again?
We pray...
Do we lack the strength to fight?
Have we lost the will to fly?
The world is dark...
The world is cruel...
But still, we hang on tight

If this final breath could somehow save this world
I'd breathe my last sigh, and close my tired eyes
And all the ones we lost, we'd find again
In this beautiful world, we've wished for

But the worlds grows darker
We can't recover
This narrow cage that we depend on slowly crumbles...
Is this the end we cannot mend?
We're slowly dying
If we're here, even with fear
We must keep fighting

[roxanbueno]

Anime watchers: i dont get it
Manga readers: *intense sobbing*

Edit: i just realized i got many likes thanks!

[svftstaar]

Rengoku left his brother,
Shinobu is now with her sister,
Muichiro is now with his twin brother,
Sanemi lost his brother





*HOW MANY MORE TEARS MUST I SHED BEFORE I CAN GET WHAT I WANT*
edit: recently I remembered I commented this, uhm... how dafuq did it get so many likes like dafuq- thanks mate :D

[phos]

My heart: I’m okay right now.
Livarachii:
My heart: understandable, have a nice day.

[natalydelgado]

Did anyone see the way Giyuu’s eyes widened when he saw Tanjiro on the ground

[xuan]

My mum : Why are you shivering? It's almost 30 degrees





Me : *intense trembles and sobs*
MY HEART BECAME FROZEN AND THEN SHATTERED OKAY!?
