actually typing this through tears rn. THIS is the kind of scara / wanderer content that i want to see, not making fun of him for having "mommy issues" or being "edgy hat boi" - i just want appreciation for his intricacy, the contradictions of who he was and has come to be, how hard he's strained to find an identity and a purpose after abandonment, the pains of his past. despite all the secrets he keeps to himself, he is so much more than a pretty face or a nasty attitude. this beautiful puppet, broken and repaired, my beloved boy. this animatic did him justice
Most people see him as a tsundere angsty puppet boy who has anger issues 💀💀, bro he is my comfort character I relate to him in a personal level, I love drawing him (his hair looks odd in my style but thats okay) I also adore his design he is so pretty and cool😍😍
YES THANK YOU 😭💕 He has an attitude BECAUSE of all the shit he's been through, and I imagine finding out the truth about Niwa didn't exactly help with that. He erased himself from Irminsul in the hopes of bringing those that died because of him back but no matter what he did *they could not be saved.* Life handed him the short end of the stick for such a long time and Nahida will finally be the one to catch him and be the long-lasting support that he *needs.* That's what makes his character so good and his story so heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time. Life was cruel and bitter to him, but maybe now it'll finally start transitioning into something more bittersweet as he slowly begins to heal.
yet half of his fandom oversexualize him, and are only there cuz they think hes hot. and ppl out of that fandom see him as weak, make fun of him, and just dont like him cuz they ony see ei's side or they skip the diolouges too much. he needs the love and understanding tbh not just attention
I was brave until Nahida tried to catch him at 1:21. I love the headcanon of her being Kuni's auntie, taking care of him and teaching him how to love the world again. Man, I'm tearing up, this was so beautiful
The fish kites at 1:25 tho🥹 I knew that in Japan fish kites are hung up during children's day (formerly known as boy's day) but I didn't know the symbolism So I googled this a bit and "In Japanese culture, the carp symbolizes courage and strength because of its ability to swim up a waterfall. The Boys' Festival was originally an event, expressing hope that each boy in the family will grow up healthy and strong like wild carps." And this being shown right after Nahida catches him from falling 🥹🥹 she really wishes the best for our boy😭🫶
the way the way the balladeer's expression changes at 0:38, the general scene with the lighting and posing at 0:41, the smooth turning on his side at 0:43, the shadow and subtlety of light and expression for Il Dottore at 0:46, the HANDS THE FREAKING HANDS at 0:52 (such a polished and clean movement close to tears crying screaming), and the parallels between Scaramouche and Ei at 0:55, those were my favorite parts of this. Oh and lets not forget the clean movement and transition at 1:08. Just so obsessed with the way the animation flows and the style, the colours, the linework, the lighting... just ajaksfdkjakf you know?
@@cheesepuff6120 For what it's worth, I LOVED your analysis! And I also feel the same way! The detail, fluidity of animation, and the form is so good! >
OH MY GOD?!?! BRO JUST DROPPED THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SCARAMOUCHE ANIMATIC AND THOUGHT WE WOULDNT NOTICE?????? Genuinely, this is one of the best animations ive seen from any of the fandoms ive been in holy shit.
1:21 the way nahida reached out to support his falling head first so that his head won't be hurt❤reminds me of how my parents taught me to always secure my head with my hands first if I ever realize I'm about to fall head first
Then it transitions directly to Dottore in a dark background smiling menacingly as if he's going to crush that innocence and turn it into something ugly
THIS, THIS IS WHY I LOVE WANDERER SO MUCH, this is why I'm so deeply in love with his character... I still don't get that people that say he's "a bad character", ha has one of the most deep, sad and heartbreaking stories. If I could catch him... But I can't. He suffered and traveled alone for 500 years, trying to find himself, trying to give life a new chance, a new chance and a new chance. He tried so hard many times, smiling, trying, believing... What he's now, is just the result of all his road, all his bittersweet life, everyone who thinks that he's only "an edgy typical boy" really need to lurn about his lore. Because I ALWAYS knew since that first event that he had to be a character with a big past, a past that could make me cry... And it did. I love he's actual person, and I love when he was betrayed to be a fatui, and I LOVE what he was when he first tried to give life too many opportunities, give people opportunities to trust, to let them catch him. He felt betrayed so many times, it's completely normal that after 500+ years of suffering about what he is a and about what he had, he's someone with such big trust issues... I don't blame him, I understand him. Only a character for lots of people, but for me, he's the character that managed melting my heart AND MAKE IT DROWN IN TEARS, with all his flawless being, I like Kunikuzushi so much, my little boy who was innocent at once. And I will always love all him, with his suffering, and with the grief that he has been accumulating over the decades. ☹️❤ This animation stunning fr
nah circumstances doesn't matter, he have to pay for what he did, not just change his outfit and continue to be cheeky brat after apologizing. Actually there's fenomen when people sympathise towards terrorists because they look good, maybe that's the case
@@グリゴリ shut up man why so pressed he fictional, i kin him, hes not doing any harm irl. Its ingame. Ok teppei is a npc, dony care i still kin him, mommy issues and shit im not writing it 😭- ( edit: first - he was let free from his mother, and dottore killed niwa, making him believe that niwa died bc of him (kabukimono phase), he found a child, (nameless) and then kept him as like family yk? And he also died so he thought also that the kid betrayed him, so THATS why he became evil, not because of “ oh i just wanna “ do u not know character lore, yes im a nerd idgaf, just stop it man 😭- honestly u hurt my brain
i cant stop rewatching 0:43 ...this entire animation is stunning. I've constantly come to appreciate scaramouche more and more through my friends love for him, and this has cemented it further. He is such an incredible character, and you did him so much justice. This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
No because same. The absolute anguish on his face and the way he body is closing in, it speaks so much on how his inner turmoil resulted in him closing himself off from any chance of happiness.
@@sierrajuarez7045 Omg, exactly, that was perfectly described! And following that metaphor, it's even sadder how in the following scene, you can see his past self so happy and pure, ready to embrace not only all the world's kindness and happiness, but also everything else...only for him to find how dark this world can be when there's no one there for him. 😭
Wanderer is one of the most relatable characters I’ve seen, his journey of finding identity and humanity resonates with me in a way I’ve never experienced before. I’m not 100% sure why his journey speaks to me on an almost personal level. Maybe because of my subconscious dehumanisation of myself and not allowing myself to be because of my own identity being so far from what’s considered normal.
I just wanna give him the biggest hug ever, he didn’t deserve anything that happened to him, poor lil guy. The animation, art, literally everything is fucking insane, I love it sm, probably one of the best Genshin animacs I’ve seen in ages.
I swear his naïveness and innocence was the sponge to all the negativity he absorbed in his journey only to be reinforced and brought to life later by the Fatui and named as Scaramouche. (Sorry for messy grammar/spelling). I wouldn’t hold him o human standards since he wasn’t human to begin with, but the story does point out through time he does sorta become human. I do look forward to Scaramouche’s character development since it seems we haven’t seen the last of him- we even gave then man his new name. He sorta feels like a second main character just because of that- so I hope to see him try to connect with his “family” aka Raiden and Ei later but also see Nahida’s effort in trying to enlighten him (I named him Riku just because that name was floating in my mind and something said it stood for rebirth idk 😭) but yeah. (Again sorry for grammar and spelling issues)
@@yourlocalcringechannel3416 yess omg. Honestly I really wish to see more of scaramouches character development. I want a scene where Raiden/Ei and Scaramouche reunite and everything turns out well and shit. Honestly I kinda wish Scaramouche had a better past like imagine being in his position..bro deserves the world💔
Dude, I’ve seen a LOAD of Scaramouche animatics but this by far is the best. The animation just has me JAW DROPPED. There are so many fps and the quality is amazing, I can tell you really poured your heart into it. I love this so much.
Listen scara isn’t my favorite character but one thing that’s for sure, I will never downplay his backstory and his lore. He’s so strong and he deserves his fandom so much. SCARANATION, I HEAR YOU. I SEE YOU. I FEEL YOU.
Absolutely gorgeous. The slow motion just makes it so emotional. And the one scene where he is finally being “caught.” 🥺 Ahh, I know I’ll be rewatching this a lot!
I can't put into words how beautiful this is. He deserves the world. I already loved Scara/Wanderer and with his story it just deepened and now this just digs it in more.
I’m scanning the comments and I’d feel god awful thinking about not leaving one myself. This has got to be one of the most beautiful routes of relaying a story to an audience. The sequences in the video (such as the scene where Kunikuzushi was sandwiched in between Scaramouche rolling on his side and Dottore) were so parallel and it all just made me break down. I’d been having a hard life as of recently and the song also reminded me of that. Got me climbing my house and staring at the sky and everything irl
I’m usually a lurker in videos, not really leaving any comments, but oh. My. God. This is breathtaking, like actually. The amount of detail that is taken in ever scene. The emotion and body language portrayed it just stunning. Absolutely gorgeous. I Hope I get as good as you one day. (P.S. I have this on loop. I can’t stop watching it)
I... I also have this on loop. I didn't even play Genshin I just got exposed to some Scaramouche through some fan? portrayal. My heart is breaking for him. 😢😢😢
this is actually so fucking good, kept rewatching to look at the different frames of him my goodnesss. my fave part gotta be from 00:43 - 00:45. the transition there and the emotion in it just made me so emo, keep making this good ass work
This is the type of content we need for Scaramouche not people joking about his "mommy issues" I really want to give Scaramouche a big hug for all that he's been through.
this is actually breathtaking, this is so heartwrenching and sweet and tragic all in one and it’s such a good showing of scara’s story , not to mention how beautiful and expressive the art is. i love this
this is so addicting to watch. i’m reminded of why he’s my favorite character; he’s so complex with countless layers, all of it beautifully conveyed through this work of art. this is amazing. i will think about this all the time
I don't have the words to express of gorgeous this is Scara will forever be my favorite character and im glad people also see the poetic nature of his backstory
This has me in tears. I love wanderer so much. Poor lil guy just needs a hug. You don’t wanna know how many times I rewatched this heartbreaking animatic. I’m sobbing
this animation is really touching, no joke. i relate to him so much and hes been my comfort character since like forever - he has such an intricate and beautiful story. this, THIS is why i believe genshin can be so awesome if people and the devs try. wanderer is an example.
This is so beautiful. I remember crying when i read a paragraph to write Scara's lore in a shorter way. I love the way he was portrayed in the animation. Not a crybaby, not bullied, not for being 'emo' or whatever other crap. We need more animations like these. Please, please keep up your amazing work! Your talent is clearly visible. Thank you for letting me shed a tear even when i'm afraid to. :')
this guy truly had one of the most extreme backstories i've ever heard (imo). he's been through so much, and even when he tried to erase it all to save the people from his past, it was in vain and they still suffered, even without him. he tried so many times to try to become human, finding friends but only for them to disappear. even then, he was only counted as a part of dottore's experiment and almost nothing more. the way he thought that you only had worth if you're able to be used for something. the fact that he was lied to about niwa and his death. it's all so heartbreaking to see how someone could suffer so much. on another note i absolutely love the art and animation ❤
There are some moments that truly take my breath away. The expression and portrayal of emotion really comes through. You did a great job with not only with the general art style but also the composition of the video. It helps that I'm a total simp for wanderer/scaramouche but you really captured his story.
this is exactly why he’s one of my fav characters, the character with the MOST development throughout the game, so broken, his story is so depressing just to read… this is such a masterpiece
i religiously come back to this and it always hits like the first time. all the subtleness in it are what makes it very special. you don’t need every emotion to be explained, a simple look is enough to convey it even better. and I can’t thank you enough for capturing every single one so WELL. thank you ❤
I feel really bad for Wanderer, and he is probably the first fictional character I’ve ever felt bad for. When I learned his real story, I felt terribly sad. I still do feel that way whenever I see anything about his backstory. Wanderer has had a long life, and he suffered most of it. I’m glad he finally found who he was really meant to be. I have much to say about Wanderer, but I can’t figure out how to convey it into words. That makes me really love this animation, too. It was really beautifully pieced together and it showed his story. The animation was really well made with lots of talent and skill. I absolutely love it. There’s more I would absolutely say about this animation. Like earlier, I just can’t put how much I adore this animation into words, only because it’s absolutely amazing. I’m in pure awe at this animation. Fabulous work! I’ve also probably rewatched this millions of times by now, too.
O God. The second name of this video is how to love Wanderer for 1:42 . I didn't really like this character before, and he annoyed me, but now I want to hug him really hard.
God this is absolutely gorgeous, you made me feel a thousand things in succession and you have completely captured my heart. Truly one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen in my life, I’m not even exaggerating
I can return to this video at any time possible and it will remain a masterpiece. Its just under 2 minutes and even so, it has enough content to make you cry when you know his story
I can't stop watching this and each time it brings me close to tears. Thank you. I think Scaramouche/Wanderer is a great example of good character design interlaced beautifully with story and even other character's backstories! I love his struggle to find identity and purpose after being thrown out by his maker & how each loss after that felt like an echo of that same trauma. Because of that and his reaction to that trauma (can we blame him? No. Did he do shitty stuff? Yeah) he might be a puppet but he's one of the most human characters. Your animation shows this exact complexity. Thank you.
this right here put tears in my eyes. i've always felt bad for the Balladeer, and i've known the things he's gone through, but to see someone put it all together in one video makes me want to have giving him a hug a part of the storyline.
the amount of times I come back to this animatic to hurt my own feelings and ball my eyes out when im not even normally a crier... it's just so well done. my friends use this as their hand against me good gods lmaoo. you capture his character so well, and all the nuanced history and emotions he carries in less than 2 minutes. stunning.
I literally love Scara (well yeah no shit), not just cuz he’s hot and all but bc he went through so much and didn’t even understand the situation, his innocence slipped away from him right before his eyes. he lived for 500 years and saw all of the cruelest shit ever. He’s just mean from the outside but soft from the inside bc he doesn’t want to get taken advantage of again, he doesn’t want to end up being abandoned and a experiment, he just wanted to live in peace. The whole quest made me cry in the end when you notice his intentions when he „erased“ himself out of irminsul. It was a full on suicide attempt. He’s a fucking well written character in my opinion
My actual Jesus Christ, this is so insanely beautiful. It captures the events in Wanderer's story so well while also correlating with a song that matches him. You really conveyed his despair, agony, and helplessness in his expressions; they were able to show how his life almost seemed like nothing more than a puppet in the hands of fate(ironic) through the subtlest of gestures. Literally awesome. And this part is so goddamn epic: 1:03 While these parts are so fricking sad to me: 0:43 1:17
I love his character development sm As we can see, he showed us that villains weren't born, they were made by what happened to us along our lives journey. What happened to us is what shaped us to become who we are today. (This kind of wanderer's content got me hyped up to say this)
I love that despite how simplistic the artstyle might seem it still looks beautiful. The animation is really smooth and this really captures his story. Congrats dude!
Daily reminder: You're not useless. You're not a dissapointment. You're not dumb. You're not different. You're not compared to anyone. Because... You're loved. You're strong. You're smart. You're beautiful inside and out. You're the best version of YOU there ever is. and you're human. I know you're going through a lot of stuff right now but it'll be okay. This life is a long journey. In a journey, there are ups and downs. If you ever go down, it doesn't mean you can't go back up. Rest easy and give yourself a treat :) I love you very very much and I just want you to know that.And when you go back up, you have that space in your heart that can help others back up, as well
I love him so much. People take his character and personality for granted and he’s just so much more than what people see. I love his story and his character growth, Scara best boy
this song fits with him so well bro... his whole entire story made me cry when i did that questline, and now this is making me sob all over again... all i gotta say is gj man 😭
This is literally the best animatic I have ever seen in my entire life! The expression, the choice of colors, the lighting, the smooth animation. Every scene looks like it was made with so much care. This is a masterpiece, and I really hope to see you make more stuff like this!
i would not be lying if i said i watched this more than 10 times. i would not be lying if i said this is the most beautiful animac i've ever seen. this is from 5 months ago when i commented, and i first saw it maybe three months ago this is genuinely a masterpiece, thank you
absolutely phenomenal, not just the art and animation but the editing, timing and hard work put into this. The song choice and how well you show the story through it, every skill and bit of effort you put into this is incredible, i hope this recognised through out the community how good of a kunikushi representation this is. I could do an rssay on this! Please, keep up the good work.
This video is one of my favourites among the amvs on genshin. And now I'm rewatching it after the summer event and I understand how well Wanderer/ Scaramouche is captured here. As if mihoyo were inspired by this video actually
I looped this on repeat of how beautiful this is.. i really like the movements, how simple the art is.. how displays the emotions perfectly :^) thank you for making this!!
as a big fan of scara, i loved this. I love his lore, I love him, and hope more of this scara content is made instead of making fun of him. I just hope in future quests he hopefully finds more people to love.
@@116nora tbh same but at first i liked him only for his looks (that was only when he made his first appearance in unreconciled stars) but my love for him increased to infinity when i learned more about best boi 🩷🩷🩷
this is so incredibly good!! smooth, colour choices spot on finally does scara justice! also did and one else notice at 1:06 (i think) it’s kaveh and alhahitham’s hand reaching for each other which is a very cool detail! (though it might be the traveler and scara) edit: im so dumb lol its just dendro traveler and scara
