5 Stages of Grief - OMORI Animatic #Shorts

Hope yt doesn't ruin the quality ToT A short little animatic about the fam going through shit hehe. Also Kel is the best bro no cap!!

Kel is the golden boy of Acceptance.

While others are still strugling, Thank you Kel, for letting Sunny out :)

I noticed this when I was watching a playthrough and how well it fits their character:
Sunny is in denial essentially creating a safe haven in his own head
Aubrey is enraged at the fact that she felt like everyone abandoned her after what happened
Basil is still trying to stick to the past and make it seem like Sunny wasn't at fault
Hero had a huge slump where he neglected everything for almost a year
And Kel seemed to be the only one who moved on with life even after the shock

[insertusernamehere]

Kel has talked about his issues with being ignored and abandoned, yet he's so calm and caring and accepting. Its obvious he would handle it the best since he knows how to cope properly. He also didn't lose his lover or his sibling like sunny and Hero did. And he also didn't murder his friend like sunny and basil. And he didn't lose someone he looked up to and saw like a sister like aubrey did. Yet he still was close friends with mari so its kinda harmful to suggest he never cared as much cause he obviously did. He's truly an interesting character. This was a very long comment my bad sorry.

This is so well done, I never realised how each of them could easily fit into the five stages of grief. Truly this is really enjoyable to watch

so interesting to think of kel as the one who has now accepted that mari's gone. at first i thought it was bc he wasn't as close to her as the others (ex. hero was dating her, sunny was her brother, aubrey looked up to her), but then i realized that it was bc kel is the only one who actually "moved on". all the others sort of got stuck in this constant state of permanence, not being able to move on from her yet not knowing how to cope from her death. kel is the only one who realized that she was gone, and no matter what he did he couldn't get her back, so he kept living. he kept going to school, kept making friends, joined the basketball team. hero only moved on at the suggestion of his parents, aubrey was trying to unhealthy cope by raging on others, and we know sunny and basil's whole deal. kel did what was best for him, which is why he's the only one who reached acceptance

[ineedahandlemam]

The thing is though, you don't just go through them one by one. Sometimes you end up jumping straight into acceptance only for something to happen that makes you go into denial or depression. Other times a single action can cause you to go from anger to denial, then anger and depression, and maybe you might end with acceptance.

Grief isn't a linear path.
More like a train station.

[stormtrooperatt]

Huh, that is actually a good insight. Wonder if that was planned.

[chonglengli]

To the comments saying Kel is acceptance: I don't agree.

Kel never visited Mari's grave once and was apprehensive to do so, or really acknowledged the fact that there was a serious problem with most of the friend group.

He also ran away to a new group of friends, much like Aubrey. At most, he's forced acceptance or forced maturity.

[littlebigman]

I never realized how well they line up to it until now.
Also your style is amazing you keep up the good work! 👍

[alexandthebozos]

each character in the emotions chart is how they reacted to maris death:
hero: sad: he shut himself inside, blaming himself for not doing anything to help mari.
aubrey: mad: she was abandoned by her old friends.
kel: happy:he moved on and accepted it.
sunny: neutral: he brought himself to believe it never happened, shutting out every emotion.

basil: _afraid_

he was scared to show the truth, scared that everyone hates him, scared to lose his only friends to his own idea.

[maxluvscats]

this animatic is absolutely gorgeous! the expressions, your art style, the music, the way the 5 stages all correspond to the characters perfectly.. and kel. kel is and absolute sunshine, i am so grateful for him. he makes me so happy and to have someone that strong in your life enough to lift you up after an incident like that, , they're all so lucky to have him.

[novaturient]

Words cannot describe how GLORIOUS this is

[DeadskyAg]

I feel like if anyone still stuck with Sunny after he told the truth, it would definitely Kel and Basil, I feel like Hero would take time to think about it and I feel like Aubrey is 50/50, she could easily go either was with how she reacts to it because Sunny did help Aubrey come to terms with Mari’s death but also, learning that he was the source of her pain and anger could gaslight her into hating him forever

[lemonpie_vanilla]

Ughh this is so pretty just 😭 your art style is amazingg

[meIaniii]

sure there may be 5 stages of grief but there's a lot more than 5 stairs in sunny's house

[-Commit-arson-]

I like how everyone stays consistent with their colors up until acceptance
Showing that during the course of the story they’re still grieving

You never know how much death has an impact on people. After the passing away of one of my friends it sometimes feels like you simply just can't feel... anything. Nothing makes you laugh and you live with the mindset "if I'm happy even once it means I'm faking being sad, " and that stuff messes with you.

I only knew that boy for half a term and yet the emotions I felt after his death haunt me even now, almost a month after his passing. Everyone misses him and his sisters; and the grief and loss everyone feels is portrayed almost perfectly in Omori, including the grief and not ever being able to quite let go, or move on.

He's dead, like Mari and let me tell you now - if you haven't experienced the passing of someone in your life:

Be ready for it to hit you suddenly.
Don't isolate yourself, be there for others.
It's okay to cry.
You might not feel things straight away.

Make sure to live your life as caring as Mari was. Speak in a way to everybody, so if they died tomorrow, you'd be satisfied with the last thing you said to them.

THE PICTURE AT THE END WHEN THEY WERE ALL AT MARIS GRAVE 😭😭

kel you are literally keeping (most of) the friend group alive
