Genshin never ceases to amaze me. This animation was beautiful and really tugged on those heartstrings.

This short really just nails what it feels like to be forcefully separated from someone you spent your entire life with.

This game just loves to pull on heartstrings 😂

Seeing the twins so close when they were together and whown how lonely they are separated makes the past times they saw each other hurts even more with how distant they were (like the reunion during the dain quest were they barely acknowledged their sibling other than saying to stay away from Dain etc)

God I love genshin so much. Played WuWa yesterday and all it did is reminded me how irreplaceable and unmatchable genshin is

[HarshitSinghRajput]

Damnnnn
I am not sure but I think I read the article saying that Genshin Hired some people ages ago and they were training for all these years on how to do animations for Genshin specifically and now the team is trained.
I think from this point on we can expect 1 anime short every patch or every other patch.

Awesome stuff. I love this game mannn!!

I will copy my comment from other place (I'm sorry if there are mistakes, it was translated from russian with Google)

This animation is so beautiful! I was afraid that the Hoyovers would again go down the path of “since these are the main heroes, then we can do it lazy, ” BUT NO! How much love, how much soul was invested! How carefully everything is thought out, how beautifully the parallel between the twins and their travels was shown, how cinematic everything was, just like in the works of Makoto Shinkai! And of course the animation is simply magical! The colors, the style... I don't know, every frame can be used as wallpaper, it's amazing!
AND ABOVE EVERYTHING ELSE!

A I M E R sings a song!!!! My beloved Aimer!!!! When the anime from Ufotables was announced, I even thought “oh, how nice it would be if they invited Aimer to perform the opening or ending theme!”... But I didn’t even have to wait for the series to come out! And this is not just an opening or an ending, this is a full-fledged 3-minute MV about my favorite twins, for the sake of whose plot I play!
And my favorite boy Aether!!! How beautiful he is here! Hoyovers are clearly on the same wavelength as me (or am I on the same wavelength as them?) in terms of how we see Aether <ЗЗЗЗЗЗЗ
I don’t know how else to express my happiness from this video! I will consider this a gift for my birthday, although my birthday is in October! Hahaha XD But really! This is such a cool gift that I feel like it’s my birthday today!

[Internal_shiver]

Tbh I never expected this animation to come out today, and it also excites me even more in what the future holds for us in teyvat.

[nicolas._.]

This is just beautiful! So Bittersweet, that's why i play genshin, for this story and it's world, my heart broked just now💔

[ctran]

I can’t stop watching this. Like Arles short was AMAZING, but the beauty of this shirt is actually incredible, gives me Your Name vibes. We know so little about Aether and Lumine and for the first time we see how they interacted and how close they were. I always actually get emotional about them but man! This mv!!! It reminds me of Nahida telling the traveler she senses the corner of Travelers heart with intense longing—to find their sibling. This was such a treat

[lumemnecent]

"am i gonna cry". yes we all will

[dmitry]

Imagine if dainsleif fallen voice line would be "the journey always continues .. " 😢

[Rewwrs]

So guys this animation proves one thing. Aether is the real mc

[sarahgrellchen]

Two Journeys diffrent times and paths we took

[GamingDanishPastry]

To be honest if my travel companion was dainsleif I would probably also turn out super depressed and turn evil as well

[HolyPlatinum]

Oh I saw this video was posted but didn't have time to watch it, now I get to watch it with you

This is pure evil, it's like they're journeying side by side but they're in different timelines and can't meet each other

3:31 yeah exactly, it's very sad

I sometimes forget the traveler is such a tragic character

[m.ridzwan-]

Watching this makes me thinking, lumine and dains must had meet with Venti and Zhongli bcs they are the original archon whilst other got replaced and they must noticed if exceptional strangers came to their nation.

[Ryumi-E]

Genshin really be cooking for 4.7. Fun fact, there's a poem called "The Road Not Taken". Which is most likely where they got that title for the animation from.

The Road Not Taken
BY ROBERT FROST

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

[ryufunny]

Its even sadder when u realize that lumine journey had no hope to see use cause we were still sleeping😢...
Btw lumine really beautiful

[nugrohopriatmojo]

This is really important both story and the anime style they will be used, if they keep this quality for anime, i absolutly impressed and i understand why they need so long time to release the anime. Iam only have 2 reason for it 1.is the cost is crazy and the quality is peak and 2.They wait for teyvat chapter end so we will understand if the anime story will taking timeline 500 years ago.

[m.ridzwan-]

Lumine with Dain and Aether with Paimon. Now I'm thinking if there's correlation between Dain and Paimon.
