The hospital scene with the deterioration of her shook me. She kept a smile the whole time and that makes it even more hard to stand. Such a pure soul being beat down for just loving another living person. There is so much more than hits me in this series but that really stuck with me. You can see why he dose ehat he dose. We all wanna shelter the most pure things we have

I remember blasting this song at max volume with headphones on whenever I feel *angsty* maaan hearing this song is making me feel simultaneously young and old.

What song? hehe

Man, coming back to this, it's crazy to think about how clearly this video portrays the story, without even saying a word. Even without any words spoken or any inner thoughts told, you *know* Nabi distances himself from Doki because he wants to protect her and keep her safe. You can SEE his internal thought process so clearly, and the image of Doki being beaten while maintaining a smile sticks out so much in the audience's minds. In his eyes, he's terrified that staying close with her is hurting her in the long run.

The still smiling slowly beat up scene in the hospital is effective

It was already sad but the scene where the little hedghog dies kills me everytime

What I see in 2:54 aftermath of Nabi's visit to Doki, His mind is thinking that he could've been there to protect her and that Cats cannot protect bunnies/rabbits, His scarf turned to black resembling that he is suffering from temporary depression. Meaning that he loved doki since day 1 and the first date, but after seeing Doki hurt, his mind and heart broke into many pieces, leading him to break up with Doki for her safety, Doki understands this and decides to go to the place called "Paradise", a place where different species love each other with no fear or sides, at least that's what I think. Good job!! This was always my favorite series!! You inspire me to make a series based on this!!

Man, I remember when this animation first debuted, no small amount of discussion was on whether or not this was even really Step 4 or someone else making a video to troll people. Nobody could believe at first that TSI!! would go in this direction.

Really? I didn't realize that had happened. That's interesting. Thanks for letting me know. Now that I think about it, This may have been reinforced by the fact that the visual art style were disparate from the other steps.

its been years and i still cry and love this series. Only now at 5:07 i noticed the darker path this could have taken

I love that the bully rabbits are shipping them

2:39 is the moment that shocked me the most when this was released.

I used to watch the original release on Newgrounds back in like 2008 and cried every time. Not much has changed for me in 2021. 😭

That so many still today are this against just two people loving each other with all their hearts.

i watched it so many times in my life and still i have to cry at 4:40. And that is why i love this animation series it always know how to hit me in the feels and let me cry.

That was the exact moment I noticed the tears blurring my sight the first time I watched these series qAq

I remember when the first one of these debuted online. I can't believe that was nearly 14 years ago :o

I was surprised I never seen this one, so this was a pleasant surprise. Interesting how a cartoon about cats and rabbits can make you think how humans act that way with each other over the colors of our skin or religions and whathaveyou and how absurd it is. Can't wait to see the conclusion.

This one has been my favourite step ever since I was little and I still absolutely love. I REALLY WANNA LEARN THE SONG

No puedo creer que ya haya pasado tanto tiempo desde la primera vez que vi esta animación... Esto es demasiado para mi corazoncito... El dolor de Nabi, la desesperación de no poder proteger a Doki de una sociedad que no acepta su amor... Definitivamente es algo muy fuerte. Lloré mucho en el 2008, y ahora 2022 sigo haciéndolo.

What always gets me is the rabbit wirh the sharp cheekbones at 1:32... in the previous step he was holding up a sign condemning Rabbit/Cat relationships. They've been changing minds since the beginning. 😢😭

Man, that 5th episode must have felt SO GOOD to finally experience after so long 😊

You know what I think is the absolute most impressive thing about this series, even moreso than the absolutely amazing and flawless sense for visual storytelling and atmosphere that makes the creator look like a cinematic animation genius? The way it doesn't take a black-and-white, us-vs-them approach to the issues it covers. The ultimate message is that the love between individuals is far more important than whatever ideological conflict might surround it; that you should fight bigotry for the happiness of individuals, not for the sake of "scoring one for the team". Imagine some IN-YOUR-FACE Tumblr animator attempting this same premise; given the state of progressive politics in the west right now, it would likely be a complete and utter mess. Instead, not only does this series focus on the personal above the political, it specifically makes the point that you shouldn't over-politicize things to the point where you dehumanize the people you're fighting for. It's not just preaching to the choir and it encourages introspection among activists. This series is literally perfect. There is nothing wrong with it at all; the visuals are simple yet amazing in how effective and emotionally investing they are and the story & thematic content are utterly flawless.

there is one thing wrong it. WHEN NABI GETS KICKED OUT OF THE CAFE, WHY DOES THE CAT SITTING OUTSIDE STAND UP BEFORE THE DOOR OPENS?

This step was not at all what I expected when I first saw it on Newgrounds, but it was definitely what was necessary . Life isn't always sunshine and rainbows.

I recently learned that this episode had a completely different original draft that was scrapped. I won’t say much, but it was much less emotional than what we got.

2:48 나비랑 도키가 사랑으로 마구 표현했던 증표이자 증거인 목도리의 색물이 점점 빠지고있음.. 그동안의 서로간 의 감정이 점점 무의미 해지고 있단걸 표현 한 걸까...?ㅜ

back in early 2000s i didn't know it would hit as hard as it hits now, never knew all these scenes will become so familiar form nowadays life.

Sadness and Madness.

Still a great episode, the song and animation is very powerful in this, but I do agree that the new colors in some of the scenes do detract from the overall feeling of the original.

Man this still makes me cry

4:28 holy s*** I Don't think I ever noticed his friend in the crowd before!

The best episode

The visual storytelling is particularly superb in this step; one powerful moment is at 0:56, and everything from 2:25 onwards is amazing.

Still incredible

The thing is, I feel weird about this particular remaster. The dark blue background you guys used at 1:09 kinda' conflicts with the original. Later you have a similar red sky. Obviously, that reflects anger. But...In the original, they were black and white. In fact, everything was black and white EXCEPT for the important symbols (scarf/sign/bow/ticket etc.) It reflected the emotional state of the characters and the oppressive starkness of the yellow signs that were more overpowering than the characters' will. It sort of ruins the effect to *not* stay consistent with that. Having the sky as another element change is unnecessary. Otherwise, good work.

아저씨 제가 알기론 여기 삭제장면 있다고 들었는데 어디서 보나요 원본 사이트 가서 찾아봐도 안보임

I don't mean to sound pretentious, or like I know EXACTLY what I'm talking about, but I think we can all learn from these. Violence is almost always, the WRONG answer. So many people ignore this because they refuse to try to see things from a different perspective before turning their nose up in disgust. I am terrified, of fursuiting in public because, even though doing it in private or around friends is fine, I will always fear what others are thinking of me, and if they're just going to quickly judge me without looking at the world through my eyes. It may not be a very GOOD example, but its the best I had. Its the fact that things that are taboo are IMMEDIATELY shutdown, shunned upon, or ignored irrationally in THIS day and age, that makes me afraid to do something different. As a 7 year old to 13 year old, I goofed off and tried to be different, I thought differently, acted differently, and eventually found out that I was the weird kid in school. I had little to no friends, because I liked things that were different from normal 12 year olds.

I have always wondered about Il-ho's motivation in this episode. Why did he beat up Nabi? Is it because he disapproves of Nabi abandoning Doki? Is it because, now that Doki is away from Nabi, he can let out all his frustrations on Nabi without her interfering? Maybe episode 6 will shed light on this.

@SchwhatNow

8 жыл бұрын

+rinlingyo I've always taken it as Il-ho seeing how sad and hurt Doki is, and taking out his anger on Nabi. He blames Nabi for not sticking by her, and Nabi feels like he is doing the right thing in leaving because of the pain Doki has gone through because of their inter-species relationship. Nabi feels miserable and won't even fight back because he feels he deserves it. Like it's his fault Doki suffered.

My interpretation was that he was trying to 'knock' some sense back into Nabi. Not the best of ways to do it, but I'm guessing Il-ho doesn't know much other tactics.
