I love the symbolism during the flashbacks, how only one of Emmet and Ingo's eyes are visible, and it's always the opposite eye to one another, showing how they complete each other, like true twins with an unshakable, brotherly bond, but when it cuts to Emmet alone on the subway, his eyes aren't visible at all, showing that not only did he lose his brother, but a large part of himself as well, it's that attention to detail that really drives that stake in deeper through my heart

Interestingly, I just realized also that in many frames Emmet's mouth is not even drawn. Ingo, whose Japanese name means going up, normally frowns, a.k.a., having his mouth point upwards; conversely, Emmet (going down) smiles with a mouth that curves downward. The lack of mouth altogether symbolizes that without Ingo, Emmet isn't sure where he's going: neither up, nor down.

I love how Game Freak was probably like, “Yeah let’s also have someone transport back to the past, like uhh idk Ingo the train guy” Not knowing it would emotionally fucking destroy the Pokémon fan base

Really, there's just something uniquely taboo about splitting up a perfectly matched duo like that, let alone ruining the pairing forever by essentially destroying one half's identity, rendering them confused and a drift in an unfamiliar world.

My favorite details: The sounds at the start, it sounds like Emmet is breathing Ingo’s side of the room is very neat and untouched The flowers on Ingo’s bed The triangles on both Ingo and Emmet’s beds and towels The two sinks, one clearly unused in a while Emmet’s new outfit (all white, no blue tie or arm band) and black gloves (meaning mourning, perhaps? :’

I like to imagine that even with his brother's disappearance, the reason why there were two drinks at the table was Emmet still orders two drinks to feel closer to his brother. Because they always went to that same cafe of a morning - and it would be wrong not to order one for his brother, right? In the off chance that maybe - just maybe - his brother will walk through those doors and sit down across from him as usual.

I like to think (still hurts tho) that the reason of Emmet's eye losing it's shine it's because of that same last image. You can see in one of the lasts shots Emmet looks like he's chasing someone (maybe Volo, wanting to be chased to show him the 'truth'?) and then is out of a building, he sees what's in front of him and well... But it's just a little thought, of course I'm not crying :)

As a person with a stillborn identical twin sister, can confirm that the emptiness is real. I may not have known her in this life, but I still feel the loss even many long years later.

Volo is an essential character for Emmet's twisted turn. Ingo's name in Japanese is Nobori while Emmet is Kudari. Nobori means "to climb" or "uphill" while Kudari is "descend" or "downwards". While Nobori/Ingo is having an uphill battle with time and memories, Emmet on the other hand.... is spiraling downwards... I'd like to think that It isn't Ingo who will get rescued but rather Emmet is the one going to be rescued by Ingo when he goes back in time... Because the time Ingo is sent back into the present, it will be the opposite where Emmet is gone and had become twisted, his hatred for Arceus has engulfed him which drove him to traverse in many worlds via wormholes looking for Ingo, crushing those who stands in his way.

As someone who has played Pokemon Scarlet, the phrase downward spiral in particular worries me, if because, as an odd point of similarity, there is a LITERAL downward spiral in that game, and what awaits at the very bottom is not pretty.... but at the same time, something Emmet might horrifyingly be interested in.

Basicelly, the submas brothers (Ingo-black clothing, Emmet-white clothing) are two subway train conductors, both pokemon trainers and incredibly close. However, Ingo mysteriously goes missing one day, as if hed disappeared, leaving Emmet struggling to find him. (That's the best I could do without giving away any spoilers lol sorry if it's not very good)

This is so ominous- hello?? Oh my gosh the feels just hit me like a train. Pun not intended, but probably necessary

Honestly, as someone who does not know the full-lore for Pokemon: Arceus Legends, this feels like a legitimate trailer. Like, if you told me this was made by Gamefreak themselves, I’d believe you. The sound design is amazing, especially at the start where everything feels so desolate and alone… And then the piano and violin music kicks in and just… Sends you to another world. I personally really like the composition for the time-travel shots and Ingo’s disappearance. I love how peaceful everything feels, but you can still feel that small creeping of grief and dread from Emmet. I also like how it introduces each character, again, I don’t know the full lore of Arceus Legends, but just from the video alone I can figure out what Emmet’s relationship with each character is. Video is great at a fan-project, but also great as a way to get a stranger interested! Or even a real game trailer!.

I just realized they have each other’s symbol in their eye, that’s so sweet :’) and when Emmet lost his at the end it’s probably because he lost hope of ever seeing Ingo again ;-;

Crying rn there are so many little details It feels like Volo would feel bad for what he’s done, so he tried to help emmet find ingo. There are so many little details of this, like how Volo signed his name in a letter with a ;P and the ginkgo guild stamp

God this is gorgeous! I hope Ingo and Emmet are reunited eventually, like for instance it would be interesting if Emmet showed up in Scarlet and Violet looking for clues on Ingo's whereabouts, perhaps having found a clue previously that revealed he'd gone back in time and going to the new region because he heard about time travel things in regards to that region. Then through the story of the game you help him and he eventually gets reunited with Ingo. It could also be interesting if they did this in the anime. Like when the anime comes to that region and Ash bumps into Emmet and finds out about what happened to Ingo and either there's an arc where he helps him or Emmet goes on with his search and occasionally runs into Ash and catches him up on his findings. Just the thoughts that popped into my head after watching this beautiful animation

It’s so crazy how gamefreak actually and Ingo get teleported back in time! I could see maybe a character that doesn’t have a sibling but ingo?! They had such a strong bond so I was very surprised to see him

The style of the lineless art is so well done and all your expressions are VISCERAL. The image of the flowers in Ingo’s bed is subtle but so sad. I love that moment when we see Emmet staring at the ground as the world moves on without him. The constant movement in this animation is really what sells it for me. This feels like an animation id see win an award. The lighting is so stark and bright during the flashbacks and so dark when in the present and I love it!! The flashbacks with Ingo are just SO good. I’ve been watching this on repeat and it’s just. oh my god. SO good.

The animation and music goes so well together, whenever i think about watching this video again, I’d be afraid that I’d cry once more, since the thought of it saddens my mood. Despite so, i believe that is what makes it so outstanding, I hope Ingo and Emmet will be reunited should the time ever come :)

Watching this animation isn’t enough, i need to eat the animation, the artstyle looks so good and scrumptious LIKE NOM NOM.

this remembers me of snails house animations but this is a lot sadder and painful because its about brothers separation, i really love them and seeing them so sad its so :( i swear this fandom love to make them and the fandom itself suffer with so much angst this animation is absolutely beautiful and impressive, really nostalgic feelings

man when i saw this in my recommended i out loud said "OH SHIT?" i love how the vibe is slow, mostly showing everyday things yet you can still see how time is moving with the progression of emmet's state + volo becoming more and more involved until you literally see him. i also love in the beginning the good ol' "train passed and person behind it disappears" visual. it's usually intentional, someone being cryptic as they disappear, but in this it's so much more mysterious with the papers being dropped, floating to the ground with nothing left to carry them. incredible job! bravo!!

I was about to cry. This is so beautiful. 🥰

I absolutely adore this! My heart aches! Poor Emmet. The animation is spectacular. You inspire me to draw more! 💜🤗 I love Ingo and Emmet so much.

oh my goodness, this is so incredibly beautiful. the colours and lineless style work so well together and give it such a soft yet sad, almost melancholy feel to it. and the way you told a story through the short scenes is so incredibly good. it honestly feels like one of those pixar shorts, like kitbull (not sure if thats the name but its the one with the kitten and the bulldog). this is probably now my favourite submas animation ever. its just so incredibly well made and everything in it from the music to the style just fit so well together and all come together to make something incredible. bravo, well done. edit: i forgot to mention how damn good the sound design at the beginning was and how much i love the outfit you gave Emmet here. absolutely amazing.

This is so incredible!! The art style is so pretty and nice, and the little details everywhere just add so much rewatchability (is that a word??) Either way its incredible!!

I HAVE watched this about 800 times during the past week, and I honest to god have taken SO much inspiration from it. I am in love with your style, and especially your ability to draw backgrounds!! I would love to continue seeing you animate, it has been a blessing to me!! ❤️

I have only just learned about this story and I am sinking so quickly and deeply. I love it! This video really made me wish there was a movie centered around this.

Wait. Emmet look tanner in his flashback than after. And when he wake up in the start, he look's annoyed by the sunlight. That's... a sad detail.

So great!!! super bravo animation!

This is… an absolute masterpiece! It really does depict the separation of a duo who function better together. With Ingo’s disappearance into Hisui, Emmet’s world begins to collapse. His brother is gone, nobody knows where to, and only Elesa is willing to help Emmet keep searching. For the time being, all we can do is hope that they’ll be reunited, but while Ingo is stuck in the past, we don’t know what the future will hold. Also, that date at the end, what is it’s significance? I MUST KNOW!
