0:40 I *love* the subtlest change in her eye here. 'Dang. I have to switch tactics, smooth and quick if we're going to have a chance of eating today.'

[underonesbed]

WHEN HIS HAIR GETS SHORTER??? LIKE SHES CREATING THE ILLUSION THAT HES YOUNG AND FRESHLY IN LOVE AGAIN UGH I LOVE THAT

[mikyx]

I LOVE HOW CRINGED EURYLOCHUS IS WHEN HE SEES ODY'S HAIRTUCK LIKE "BRO FOR REAL??"

[Troublethecat]

The way you kept cutting to the crew below deck is the funniest part of this whole animatic.

[MrBaddamobs]

Interesting choice have the weird illusion stuff even effect Odysseus; like just speaking the siren makes him think of a time before everything went to hell, lol. Also, really cool choice to have the sirens literally boarding the ship; adds to threat they present that they don't necessarily NEED men to jump into the water, and I fully get why the crew is ducking out of sight until the right time in that case. Great stuff!

[light_s_daughter]

I love how you can tell Odysseus is not as unaffected by seeing his wife as he sounds.

[invisiblevampire]

I love how the rest of the crew saw siren!Pen and went “Nope! 😰”

[foxfollower]

I love how in scenes he appears younger or as “his ideal self”, like the siren is trying to show him his ideal life and future. It seems to slip when the illusion is broken or he's shifting the conversation. Great idea!

[LiaScamander]

The way you made Ody hold the siren as his ‘daughter’ was adorable 🥰

[hannuu]

I love odys expression when he saw pene. Like we know he prepared for the sirens but seeing his wife would def still make him emotional. Also the end of the song"the things id do for you" if he wouldn't have known that those were sirens, i bet you he'd jump for her

[andifishgallery]

I love how much you showed Ody directly interacting with siren!Penelope it makes everything so much sadder in a way

[KuliJester]

Gosh! I love how even with knowing that he has no daughter, he still very affectionate with her. It's a nice touch, and make think that he'd absolutely be a Girl Dad :3

Wonderful work!

[HistoryMonarch]

This is the first one I’ve seen that goes with the original story of Odysseus being tired up which I think is cool

[NALARI]

I absolutely LOVE how subtle it was that the Siren was feeling weak to Odysseus, and that stemmed from the fact that Ody was showing all his love that he had for Penelope onto her look-alike. It seemed as if she knew “he really cares for this person”.
Adding onto that it really felt like instead of the Siren trying to lure in Ody it was the other way around, I could practically feel it when she put the child in Ody’s arms. Him holding the child and the Siren looking so warm and content because he himself was so soft with the kid! And then the subtle eye shift of the child’s ‘human’ eyes to ‘siren’ eyes, as if the child was reminding her what the point of all this was. LOVE IT ❤❤❤

[IterativeEagle]

Love the little bit at 0:37 where the Siren get's thrown off and almost touched by the genuine love and affection Odysseus has for his wife almost like how he got Circe to trust him only for the siren to take a beat and come back to themselves and their purpose.

[wolfmoonjoy]

1:14 yeah, I’m the crew with seeing Siren Penelope! I love it! “I ain’t going up there with you cap! I’m staying down here!” 🤣🤣

[sam.sketti]

i love the detail of him being tied to the ship and for some reason the rest of the crew hiding below deck is really funny, like im jiust picturing they have the other end of the rope and every few minutes just give it a little tug to snap ody back to reality

[sofidorada]

OKEY, BUT THIS IS THE FIRST ANIMATIC THAT I'VE SEEN THAT THE LITTLE "oh no" OF THE SIREN SEEMS LIKE GENUINE ( 1:31 ) AND IM CRYING BECAUSE I REMEMBER THEY KILL THEM ALL 😭

[IterativeEagle]

Love the little bit at 0:37 where it seems like the Siren is a bit thrown off and moved for a moment by the tenderness and genuine love Odysseus has for his wife almost like how he was able to get Circe to trust him for that very same quality before the siren takes a second to remember it's purpose and go back to trying to trick/eat him.

[lorendaemon]

The vibes i get from this siren is she does actually kind of mean it. She does want to take the suffering away from him.

The dead don't suffer, after all.
