Aaaaa, the “feed you poison birthday cake” and takko’s faaccceeeee. And ravens roost. And how johns face is always wavering between wanting to be amiable towards Merle and remembering what he had to do. And there’s no face after being taken. You feel that John isn’t there anymore. And the light beams from takko’s wand flashing and growing to the beat of the music. It’s ALL WONDERFUL AND FANTASTIC. I don’t know how to deal with this much visual pleasure. It’s like being in party city but with my favorite podcast.

Hi! I see that you found this video in your recommendations without knowing about the Adventure Zone! So for everyone who doesn’t know, The Adventure Zone is a Dungeons and Dragons podcast created by the McElroy Brothers. Its one of the best pieces of media I’ve ever consumed. Its very funny, creative, and made me cry multiple times. So if you haven’t listened to it and you liked the animation, go ahead and give it a listen, you won’t regret it!

Well I can’t edit that comment for some reason so ago*

Dude, stumbling across this animatic changed the course of my life. You got me into the adventure zone through sheer intrigue, and it helped pull me out of a really dark spot. Its been a few years since and Im a whole lot better, still occasionally tune back in to watch this from time to time to bring me back to what started it all. Really man, thank you for making this.

i first watched this several years ago. I had no idea what Taz was, but was too preoccupied with life to find out. Just maybe under a month ago, I finally managed to get with the program and actually listen. It was a slow start, but over a break from school just last week, I hyper fixation - binged it nonstop reaching the end of the suffering game. Today, only a few minutes ago, I have finished listening to taz balance, and I love everything about it. I’m not one to cry from fictional stories, but even so the final episode made tears run down my face. A big reason that I had faith in the podcasts quality was because there’s no way someone would put this much effort and talent into an animation about a bad story, so even if you don’t see this comment specifically, Thank you.

@@chery0 T.A.Z. The Adventure Zone. It's a podcast group of 3 brothers and 1 dad playing table top games like D&D. The animatic is based off of The Adventure Zone: Balance Arc. Where they all play D&D in an completely original story. Would highly recommend. There are multiple playlists of all the eps on KZread but they all miss one episode. But you can listen on Spotify for free and it has all the episodes. "T.A.Z. : Balance Arc" is honestly the best D&D podcast out there in my opinion. Hilarious banter between the family and their in game characters but it also has an amazing story which can get pretty serious at times. 100/10 do recommend.

I don’t know what “the adventure zone” is but here is what I think is happening. The suit guy is some businessman who doesn’t like the people with the red coats. But he talks to the short guy and finds out he is nice but they black thing with the colors makes him attack the short old guy and now he has to kill them all. During the final battle he becomes the big demon monster and gets destroyed by the green guy. Basically it’s the weird black with colors demon thing that makes him evil even though he is a good guy, (as seen by the end where he is looking at the sunset)

The adventure zone is a D&D podcast by the elroy's. They have the first 2 parts of the campaign as graphic novels, if that works easier than listening to over 100 hours of gameplay

You should fully listen to TAZ balance then rewatch this (TAZ is a podcast)

As someone who doesn't know what "the adventure zone" is. Lets see if i get this right The guy in the suit atracks the people of the white ship. He doesn't want to, but is made to by some "being". After actualy meeting them he realises they are nice people and really doesn't want to kill them now. but has to out of fear of that "being". His confliction gives the "being" a reason to take over. Bunch of side plots happen leading up to them beating the man and the "being". Also there maybe something involing heaven and hell being actual places.

Not entirely wrong, but the suit guy is the guy that created the being. And he only appears at the end.

He’s called John, the guy in the suit

Already obsessed with TAZ and happened to find this animatic looking up the song which I also love. This put a real smile on my face, thank you! Very well done

This is so amazing. From the thought that went into the animation, the fitting song, and the emotional connection we all have to Balance you have made something great!

So this song is my alarm so that was slightly jarring initially lol But the animation here is beautiful and worked so well with the song! I’m definitely sending this to all my friends who like The Adventure Zone cause they need to see it

I wouldn't have chosen this song initially, but by god you made it work perfectly. One of the best tributes out there! (also kudos on making content about John, it's too rare)

Watched this again. This is such a gorgeous and amazing piece, i aspire to make something like this someday. Thoughtful and fun and heartwrenching.

This is the animatic that got me listening to the adventure zone. I had no idea what it was about but your thing looked so cool so i gave it a listen. Thank you, this was awesome.

I feel like John hunger goes under-appreciated as a character. He has such a complex characterization, especially for somebody who wasn't formally introduced until really late in the story.

why isnt anyone talking about the poisoned birthday cake and Lup scene :( its super tiny but owwwww :(((

I can’t explain it but it’s the combination of the music, animation, and the overall incredible emotional attachment I have towards balance, but this video always gives me chills. I absolutely love it.

Ah i love trying to piece any semblance of lore while never watching TAZ

This is a perfect "end credits" scene for The Adventure Zone. The animation, the song choice, the featured scenes. It so accurstely encapsulates TAZ. Especially the Stolen Century arc. Just undescribably emotional and beautiful. Thank you

I misread "TAZ" as "TF2", so I clicked on it. I'm not disappointed, but god damn I'm interested in whatever this is.

Ive watched this so many times this week, its really really wonderful

I found out about TAZ through this very animatic and only just allowed myself to rewatch it after hearing the last episode of the first campaign. I'm speechless. The attention to detail is amazing, and I've really liked trying to figure out how any of this fit into the story. It never felt like a spoiler at all. It's just been an amazing experience altogether, and you brought it upon me. Thank you.

Tbh, this is hardly an animatic. It boarders on pure animation, the tweening is so smooth and fluid. It is amazing work, and wonderful to look at!

I've never heard of TAZ before, but this video randomly popped into my recommendations. "I Can't Decide" was a favorite song of mine in middle school and this music video does it justice. The story inside this video, along with the music, does a great job of telling me what TAZ is like and what exactly the plotline is, despite me not knowing any of the character's names or anything about it. Amazing work!

Talinah I 100% suggest watching it. It’s a D&D podcast. Very funny, very entertaining, extremely well written, and one of the most amazing fantasy stories I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to. I’ve watched GoT, LoTR, and neither of those have made me as emotional as TAZ has. It’s something so incredibly special. You’re missing out if you don’t watch it. I suggested it to a friend for over a year, and when he finally watched it, he binged it in a month

I just finished the first season of TAZ and this is just such a good video i cant think of how to explain its just yes

MAN dude, i kept getting recommended this vid but i had been stuck in limbo w taz for a couple years (got to the middle of rockport limited and stopped) so i didnt let myself watch it. i finally binged it all these past few months.. so so worth it. im coming off the high of just finishing the finale, and this is just perfection. love it

I saw the thumbnail for this and thought "THIS song? with TAZ? what the actual heck" and clicked on the video out of sheer morbid curiosity. I WAS NOT PREPARED TO FIND AN EXCELLENT AND HEARTFELT ANIMATIC THAT'S ONE OF THE BEST I'VE SEEN SO FAR, CONGRATS ON THE TALENT OMG.

This introduced me to TAZ. You are directly responsible for me loving this podcast, for my renewed excitement over DND and for just me knowing about these characters. I just want to say thank you. Thank you so much.

Holy SHIT. I just heard this song for the first time on my Spotify Discover Weekly a few weeks ago and I’m OVER THE MOON ABOUT THIS VIDEO!! The quality is so unbelievably stunning it’s all SO perfect. Awesome work :D

Btw I LOVE your design for these characters and everything and you have my favourite version of Garfield the deals warlock

best animatic ive seen in a long time! i love the adventure zone and i love this!

also, as I've watched this about a dozen times, just gotta say you can still kinda watch it even without knowing about TAZ. It can just be, like, the metaphorical story of a businessman being consumed by his hatred, or something. Still makes for a fun video outside of context, imo. With context it's even better, of course.

This is the animatic that made me listen to the adventure zone, and now I’ve returned to it when I’m on the last episode. I now know who everything is and how the act. To put it simply I truly appreciate it now that the journey through this amazing podcast is over

This video is literally the reason I started listening to taz, and now, after finally finishing it, I return to say big "thank u" for sending me on this awesome journey, I loved it all the way through
