Making a kickstarter as we speak

Putting Davenport's mental breakdown at the start of the video is illegal, it's against the law for an animation to whiplash to something that sad that fast, and you're going to prison

Real talk, though: Griffin's ability to turn a funny gag about a guy only saying his own name Pokemon-style into one of the most tragic revelations in the Balance Arc is both brilliant and a direct assault on my tear ducts.

... who?

God Merle's "You've got faith, it's faith in you" line hits me so hard, because in the moment it was a fun goofy scene between the two and I'm sure Clint said it as just a nice encouraging thing to say, but with the perspective we learned later about what Lucretia had to do, it's the perfect way to sum up her character.

"That was the last conversation you ever had with your sister." That's.....wow. That *hurt*.

This is why Merle rocked. SAME with Lucretia, but Merle...simple Merle. The boundless generosity and faith.

Wow, 2 people were crying so hard they hit the wrong thumb

My heart broke at 3:12 where her expression suddenly changed as Magnus didn't come back

Me: well, I'm gonna start my first d&d campaign tomorrow! Better listen to some TAZ. *watches TAZ animations and listens to old episodes* Me: There is a 0% chance that I will ever top this campaign ever.

How'd the campaign go? (Edit: yeah this comment is really late, i kinda didn't think it through. Still, i'd love to hear how it went!)

I never considered Lucretia being the one to say the final "This is it" as opposed to just Griffin narrating, but I love this animatic

this video kicked my ass

The face Lucretia makes at 2:14 when she accidentally says "we're getting so close..." FUCK dude. I don't even think Griffin intended that to be a slip when he said it, but it absolutely became one when the story was fully told...and you captured it perfectly in that one frame. Wrecked me. Bravo.

So I watched this a few years ago before I ever even listed to the podcast and I teared up at the "that was the last conversation you ever had with your sister" line. Now, after just recently finishing the Balance arc, I'm able to appreciate this video so much more. The way you managed to take clips from different episodes and put them together so that they built on one another is amazing (also the animation is gorgeous)!

HOT DIGGITY SHIT!

Jesus...this scene never fails to give me total body goosebumps (the hairs on my arms are all standing up and my face feels tingly and numb) I love the twist you put on this moment, by making it be Lucretia who is saying "This is it". Makes a whole new super impactful feeling to the events. Also, have fucking loved your representations of the Tres Horny Boys ever since Jenkins and the Rockport Limited :D Thank you!!!

I like how you did Davenport, most people make him old.

Man you've got my favorite character designs for the Adventure Zone. The clean, simplistic style really fits the tone of the story, especially now that you've done a more dramatic sequence.

Contrasting the spa scene with the more recent content is fucking genius, and gets me every single time

I love when the color comes in at the end, and this is fantastic, 10/10

This is fuckin POWERFUL like when the Color suddenly Happens and then the end when Lucretia says, *"This is it."* for Griffin??? Fucking chills, my dude

I actually cheered at the end when Lucrecia said "This is it!" Great job!

I really wasn't expecting the rush of emotions when you juxtaposed Lucretia introducing herself at the conference to when she introduces herself (again) to THB for the first time in the BoB. It was just so powerful to see how far she'd come and yet still had to stay so heartbreakingly far away and wow would you look at that I'm in tears

The fucking static gets me EVERY TIME! It doesn't matter if I'm watching our listening, but just hearing that static makes me ugly cry. I fucking love this and you should be VERY proud!! I had to rewatch it because I couldn't see shit with all the tears in my eyes!

I like how it shows what seems to be very proud moments for them, then their fall. The lup one hit hard, griffins little “that was the last conversation you had with your sister” that hurt me

Your "welcome to the rockport " video is what convinced me to start listening to TAZ, I fell in love with your style and how fluid and full of perosnality the characters design are... and im so glad you animated this part too!!! Thank you ! Excelent job!

This monologue and this video still, years later, make me cry.

This is so good! I love the art style, and honestly the ending gave me chills. A++

The “This is it!” Griffin says at the end of The Stolen Century gives me shivers every time It hit my heartstrings in a way few pieces of media have done

*CRINKLE TINKLES MY DUDE! AHHH* Congrats! you achieved your goal! please take this chalice and drink my salty ass tears of joy and pain. Your art style is adorable and your colours make me happy! the shapes are like cookies to my eyes beautiful! thank you!

Me: (literally 2 seconds in) Me: (already incredibly hurt)

This is just incredible. This is exactly what I imagined it should like at the end. This is the animatic I've been waiting for someone to do since I discovered these kinds of videos on KZread. This is... well... THIS IS IT!!!

"That was the last conversation you ever had with your sister" Griffin McElroy is a monster

Thank you for making this! These were some of my favorite moments from the finale.

I....d-dude I-I don’t even know the context to any of this and I’m about to cry

Me starting this: aw sweet! 0:27 : ABORT ABORT ABORT

This video came into my room at 3 am and stole my water

ok now that ive sat here long enough for the tears to have stopped can i just say??? ur art is PHENOMENAL. ur style and direction is just the best thing ever

brb crying. amazing!

wow congrats on perfectly animating the clips THAT ALREADY MADE ME CRY

Your Rockport Limited animations is one of my absolute favorite taz animations. You crushed it again with this one! Awesome job, the transitions broke my heart. Great job!!!!

That ending though.... WOW. This is hella good. Love your style of drawing and colouring. And the switching of scenes really emphasised everything. Loved it!!

This is absolutely fantastic. Thank you for this wonderful creation!

Geeze, opening with one of the biggest gut-punches: Davenport. Fantastic work with this. Came out quite exceptional.

I was sobbing by the end of this- thank you so much

Incredible video! The art is really great, the clips you used were perfect, the seamless transitions from one scene to the next, and the final product is just amazing! Thank you for this video!

ooof...years later and just finding this and still got some tears out of me. Well done

I'm trying to find the original "You don't understand how people in this world feel about me" and when I look it up it brings me here, I really enjoy the video though I don't understand it. And I also didn't find what I'm looking for, but thanks anyways.

this entire video gave me such vivid chills that it was like i was listening for the first time all over again. good job!

you fuckin murdered me with the expression Lucretia had when they returned the animus bell ghfhgfn

Damnit, I just can't *not* cry at these amazing moments of that amazing show.

Griffin always knows how to craft a story and you did that so well in your order of animation,and the adding of color at the end,great job man! Really adds to the experience.

hOLY SHIT THAT WAS AMAZING I love your designs and just the way they move its so great

I absolutely love this animation. The change from animatic to animation, colorless to colored feels so natural and yet so good

I got goosebumps from this! Amazing work!

Aaaaah!!! This was so well done!

Ohhhhh man. You've outdone yourself. This is so great.

AHHHHHHHHHH SO EPIC!!!!!! THOSE TRANSITIONS!!! THAT COLOR!!!! THAT CHARACTER DESIGN!!! THIS EVERYTHING!!!!!!

Honestly, this video was what got me into TAZ. I got super curious about the whole thing just from watching this beautifully made animatic. Very nice job, thank you so much! :D

ohmygosh this was so amazing and i absolutely LOVED the transition to color and animation you did at the very end and at the beginning with putting things together and just!!!! wow!!!!! amazing amazing job i loved it so much!!!!!

Fuck me running, that was incredible.

this honestly never ceases to give me chills at the end

I will never not cry when I see comparisons between when they were friends and when their memories were wiped. It's so sad.

it must have broke lucretias heart to see them again

I've seen this video so many times in my recommended and I kept avoiding it because I haven't listened to taz yet but now I have and I am so glad to be able to finally watch this. i love everything about this video. the style is awesome. those little moments of fluid animation and when colour started to appear on lucretia at the end there. i accidentally mirrored her saying This is it at the end and that was amazing. Thank you for making this

This is an exceptional edit. Not often are the animatics composed of multiple scenes edited together like this. More than just a summary, you've built upon their work to make a cohesive narrative.

I remember listening to this on my way back home from work and when Griffin says this is it at the last second I was SHOOK!

I've watched this more times than i can remember and that ends gives me chills every single time. And the "im Davenport" scene? Guaranteed tears. A+++ 10 stars

The transition into color made me feel ALIVE. Absolutely amazing!

I TEARED UP AND GOT CHILLS, 10/10

that transition from black and white to color was so beautiful. i loved how even the outlines disappeared and became these fully fleshed out images. This whole video was stunning

i sobbedddd thank you for making this its so perfect

Damn it now I need to listen to the last four episodes again thanks. Absolutely stunning work, I'm completely covered in goosebumps

Gooooddd gOD this is incredible! The animation, your style, how you put this all together was so good that I had to keep rewinding at some parts because i liked it so much. You did such of an amazing job

Oh man. I just listened to this episode yesterday and watching this animatic I got chills all down my arms... such good editing and scene illustration....

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?" After all this time, keep coming back to TAZ Balance

That was incredibly well done!

THIS MADE ME SO EMOTIONAL THANK YOU SM

Holy fuckle that's some good video-ing. You really know how to make the viewer involved. I can really see you improved between the rockport animation and this one, that's awesome work!

That was amazingly crafted!! Thank you for this gift!!!

Damn you for making this. And bless you.

I am so glad I found TAZ, its such a good podcast and the Bureau of Balance arc made me laugh a lot while I listened at work and so many times especially near the end I had to try to hold back tears, I couldnt hold them back with the Harley and Sloane part though when they became the tree together

This gives me hella chills

"That was the last conversation you ever had with your sister." destroys me EVERY TIME.

this scene always gives me chills and this is a fan-fucking-tastic lucretia at the end nailed it

Hot diggity shit. That was a baller animatic! Amazing job you nearly got me to cry there!

All these years later and those lines still give me chills

I have so much emotional attachment to this series

I love your designs for the grand relics

literal tears running down my face

I HAVE SUCH MAJOR CHILLS THIS IS AMAZING

Hot Diggity Shit that is a Baller Animatic

An amazing done animation! That ending tugged my heart strings ;_;

I love the lup in your style so much. Also. Why you making me cry God damn

Ok well now I’m crying God I love your animation

THE HYPE HAS PAID OFF

THIS IS AMAZING

This was so lovely

Incredible work!
