Sick animation yo

Great animation man

I am seriously in awe by your art. It's so unique, and visually stunning. Awesome job!

you're an incredibly skilled animator - awesome work

beautiful work!

*sigh* back to the fever dream I go I guess -Restart the Day-

Mili IS the ALEPH class abnormality As a matter of fact, Mili is the even more jacked up version of resonance-based abnormality aka anything that have to do with soundwave.

@@majorblitz3846 So Singing Machine? How long do we have before the human sacrifices start?

@@nerobright9959 soon, my friend. Soon...

@@hisyammahendra41 Bold of you to assume Mili didn't practice that on a daily basis

I could not agree more

As an average mili listener who also has autisum its like this but louder

Pretty much, yeah

Colorful, depressing, and impossible to make concrete sense of? Yeah sounds accurate.

This fell like a reaction to the video itself.

Ooh I’d love a crossover between them

i thought the same!

Let's hope it happens someday. Momocashew's voice would fit so well into a Kikuo song

Yeah, for sure

Holy shit i need to see that

Yes, we really have been

I thought you just tell them it will be a pockmark on their face when they try to marry or smth

GIMME RICE

Well, the lyrics also show some connections to Buddhism Amitabha is a central figure in one of the Buddhism schools, and also used in a sentence like Namo Amitabha, the one we see in the song You can also probably see the cycle of Samsara, the bee being reborn into the flower and back into a bee There's also honey, being a source of Dukkha, maybe rice is also like it

Hm, true, and all the beings on tv could be seen as those trapped within the cycle of suffering. As well, there are depictions of lotus flowers, leaves/pads, and roots, which are common symbols for Buddhism. However, what's most interesting to me is the part where a series of things are wanted are requested. "GIVE ME LIFE" "GIVE ME LIGHT" "GIVE ME FIRE" "GIVE ME STORM" "GIVE ME TREES" "GIVE ME FLOWERS" "GIVE ME BEES" "GIVE ME RICE" X8 A core belief of most Buddhist schools is that suffering comes from desire after all.

@@fallen7646 interesting, but can i have some clarification please? from what i understand, amitabha is the greatest buddha who rules what seems to be some sort of equivalent of heaven, and Namo Amitabha is the sentence used to praise him Samsara is the cycle of reborn and Dukkha is the 4th truth and is about the pain, but how honey is the source of pain?

Nice interpretation work.

i'm so sorry, but I read *mili*verse as miiverse over and over again. i was so confused

Yesssss i was thinking the same thing

ikr? the kinda psychedelic visuals and sound are similar to alice schach's newer albums, which is great bc they're 2 of my fav artists!

Thank you for the explanation!

Are they unable to achieve Nirvana due to their desire for rice and honey…?

hard agree! it truly does sound

absolutely one of the things i've ever heard

오... 난 그냥 이상한소리 마구 연결한줄.. 모치모치 아미탑하 마미무미모...?

@@automaticmachine-u1t 가사에서 대놓고 나무아미타불을 읊는걸보면 불교적 윤회관을 짬뽕시킨듯

Слушается на одном дыхании, буквально такая же аранжировка. Вдыхаешь в начале и выдыхаешь в конце. + это так похоже на Alice Schach, последние альбомы, так круто!

@@divishka кстати благодарю за напоминание о Алисе, гдето видел коммент что очень похоже, но забыл, теперь обязательно чекну)

@@solmar968 Чекни, вообще топ песни! Они выросли из стиля как мили раньше писали, такие оркестровочки сказочные, а теперь там жесть и психодел)

I feel like there is some war imagery going on too. The first few lines sound like they are yanking out a bomb or something, which is why the hive is being vacated. Then you have the lines about melting. At first I thought it was supposed to be kinda food related but the previous point, the line about giving up the ancestors dreams (nuclear winter type scenario?) the siren at the end and at roughly 2:59 the Black leaves don't look too dissimilar to airplanes dropping bombs. Now rice is what allowed life to be sustained in the east to begin with, so perhaps the person is pleading for their life in war? As for the honey.. It's what's left over if you'd attack a hive. Just like that alien starts crying it too...

​@@Fo__Sho_ Yeh it has a post-apocalypse vibe to it, right? I also noticed the seed pot at the beginning has normal lotus seeds in it. But at the end, it has turned into a wasp hive in the shape of a lotus seed pod. Honey and bee are seen as good in Buddhism though, as "monks and sages should take the bee as a wise role model as they take only what is necessary for life without causing destruction. " - referring to bee making honey. So could it be the hive at the beginning is referring to a beehive being attacked by wasp to rob their honey? I dunno if the hive at 2:00 is bee or wasp, It is hard to tell. But I think it would make more sense for its to be a wasp (i didnt research into it since i have trypophobia and those lotus pod and hives makes me want to vomit) At face value, the first mochi person appearing with "bubbling" eyes seem to be the narrator, they tried to shut down "the hive" 0:33 shown as several TV sets , but it seemed they were trapped in one during the process 0:44. Could this be referring to war like u said? In Buddhism, rice and honey can be seen as the sole food needed to sustain one self so the situation can be "famine/starvation" due to war. Did the mochi person sitting on a lotus leaf taking all the food for themselves? Or are they pretending to be a savior? "Shattering our ancestor's ancient dream", could it be referring to the desire to lure/capture people into the hive? Or is it the desire to live as a species? The more I replay the more info i get xD

Yeah, it is certainly something to ponder. Plus, propaganda has been touched on before in the music of Mili, mainly by Painful Death for the Lactose Intolerant, a song that's the rawest form of it in the Miliverse.

a bit late, and i also don’t think it holds too much significance, but mochi mochi is an onomatopoeia for chewing or chewy. the food mochi is derived from that onomatopoeia i think? it could be the other way around

@@summerrainyseason5967 I guess they're pretending to be a savior since they said "I have rice"

Yeah, that’s pretty accurate actually
