Never Forget 

It's hard to put into words the sheer _raw outpouring of emotion_ that you've embedded into every single frame of this animatic, but thank you--not only for giving the best trio the moment that we needed to see in KH3, but also for dedicating what must have taken an incredible amount of time to create this for us and the rest of the KH community. It stirs up a lot of emotions, and its hard to know what to say--we're touched. You've completely captured the spirit of their friendship (and succeeded in making us cry lol). Absolutely incredible work; our hope is that this gets seen far and wide. Thank you again.

While not scene for scene, I'd still say it's bloody amazing how much of this sort of actually did make it into Kingdom Hearts III.

Listen sir, you can't be wrecking me emotionally like this. As soon as Xion got sad I almost lost it and cried instantly. Then you have her run and hug him?! People at school can't know I have emotions lol.

This... Cured my depression, hydrated my crops, fed a village of starving children, etc etc. And brought tears to my eyes. THANK YOU FOR THIS.

That... hit surprisingly hard.

I started crying when Lea saw Roxas and Xion again, especially when Lea remembered Xion. 😢 You did an amazing job and you were able to capture the emotions of this perfectly. 😭

I'M LITERALLY A SOBBING MESS RIGHT NOW WHAT THE FUCK. I loved the part where Roxas appeared and then how the music accompanied Xion behind Roxas and that's the part that got me but then Lea said Xion's name and she just ran in and hugged him and GAH I AM STILL CRYING OMG

Ohhh my gosshhh... Only you and ghibli have managed to make me cry like this. _Kairi is the best bridge._

Dude, this legit made me cry! The sheer emotion of this scene really got to me, and the fact that you capitalized on the friendship that Lea shared with Roxas and Xion makes this video all the more special! I loved it when Xion thought Lea wouldn't remember her, and then it turns out that he did! The feels! And Kairi suggesting that they all hold hands was a nice callback to when she did the same with Sora and Riku in Kingdom Hearts II! Again, excellent use of background music, and the animations are just beautiful and heartbreakingly amazing! :') This reunion in KHIII will be emotional to the core!

Words cannot express how much I NEED this in KH3

Xion...! Roxas....! _Oh God-!_ *_Cries_*

True friends are never truly forgotten. Even when they are gone, a small piece will always remain.

Might as well just cancel Kingdom Hearts 3. Nothing they can do will be as touching and emotional as this.

This is way better than the reunion in KH3

Still wished they did something like this in Kh 3 😢😤

Man regains custody of his children

I came here as fast as I could. This is so beautiful thank you so much. I feel like this is more satisfying than KH3 will be in terms of Axel thinking about Roxas and Xion

This is amazing! Kingdom Hearts 358/2 days was my first kingdom hearts game (yes I was confused as hell) and I was sobbing by the end. I love the twilight town trio and this video was everything I needed for their reunion. Thank you!

How dare you ?! KH3 isn't even out, I thought I would save my tears until then, but then YOU come and destroy my efforts !! With a wonderful video, wonderful drawings and a wonderful set-up for one of the sweetiest and saddest scene we'll ever get to see !! Where you succeed to emprison and show so many raw emotions in so little time !! How dare YOU be so extraordinary ?! Love your work. Yours, truly

Gotta say, this hit me more emotionally than kh3 did, You know...that scene?

I think we all need this to happen in KH III.

I keep replaying this, and with every replay, my crying gets worse. I love this. I wish my younger self could have seen something like this after finishing the Days game. I was so heartbroken.

honestly this made me cry thats how emotional this is! Let my children be happy

I'M NOT CRYING YOU'RE CRYING thank you so much for this, this is the thing we all deserve!

Gonna send this to my friend with the message “Wanna have a hole punched through your heart and out the back of your body? Check this out.”

I bet Saix was the one who disliked this video 3 times, because it's the most precious thing ever! Who else would dislike it? Isa, that's the one that comes to mind.

And the Tangled music was the perfect touch to compound all the FEELS

I never forgot.... ....how you played with my heart with this.

This is the best kingdom hearts fan made cutscene! Honestly it’s better than most cutscenes in the actual games! Stellar, outstanding, amazing job! Also I almost never cry and I got the feels and started tearing up watching this. You did so well on the emotions!

the facial expressions are so evocative and beautiful and the deep story woven with so little words is incredible. 2000 stars

Welp...I am never going to forget this video. That's for sure. *still crying*

I'm not crying, you're crying ...This is just so emotionally wrecking as it is uplifting at the same time. Kinda speechless, literally.

I like it took a few seconds for Axel to recognize Xion. I know his memory of her got wiped but that just showed that she never truly left his heart. And he remembers her just as she about to back off. That's even better because she probably thought the memory of her was gone forever.

I'm not crying, I'm just happy to see the sea salt trio to reunite

I was already on the verge of tears, when I realized the music was from Tangled and then Axel said Xion's name. THIS VIDEO IS SO GOOD!!!

All 3 of them in a big bear hug makes me so happy I want this reunion to happen

This....is truly beautiful...i would love to see this in kh3...seeing this similar scene to sora meeting riku again brings back memories of how long sora waited to find his dear friend again...and seeing this makes me even more happy after what these three have been through cause of the organization....i hope that roxas,axel and xion get their happy ending finally and become their own person

I tried to hold back the tears, but as soon as Axel said her name, I couldn't. These are beautiful animatics. Thank you.

Omg. I NEEDED this. I got the reunion in KHIII but this, this is special. It’s a slower softer moment that had Lea heal through Sora and Kairi, which is what I wanted so badly. I feel like I was one of the few that didn’t really want Roxas or Xion to come back, I felt like the games did a good job of explaining that they are living on through Sora,, and I love a good bittersweet tragedy. Lea learning to connect with the people around him would’ve been enough for me and this moment.. where he sees his friends again by connecting with Sora UGGHHH ITS SO GOOD. I’m 4 years late but you’ve blessed me so much!

My eyes have been blessed with this perfection

Never fails to make me cry 🥹 Everything about this animatic is PERFECT

Someone give this animator an award! 👑🏆🎖🏅Your animations hit me right on the feels everytime!

Omg I actually didn't stop at tearing up and cried for once. THE FLOOD GATES ARE OPEN DX Thank you, this was a treat I didn't know I needed

Even after all this time, this never fails to get the tears going.

id somehow completely forgotten kairi has that neat trick until you pulled it out of the hat, op, and then it was just. INSTANT tears. they were crying, i was crying, it was a beautiful teary mess. thank you so much for sharing this; its so beautifully made!

I'm not easy to make cry, but you came damn close. I was so happy for Lea/Axel to see Roxas and remember Xion, to have that beautiful moment between them after not having them due to circumstances tearing them away from him. It gave him so much freaking relief to be able to hold them again in his arms like that and I know it must be even more so for both Roxas and Xion. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS HEART WARMING VIDEO!

FIRST OFF THEY ARE ALL SO BEAUTIFUL SECOND OFF AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, its only a 2 minutes video and my heart was crushed, stomped on, torn to shreds, and thrown in the trash. I bout cried too. Thank you.

Words cannot describe how much I desperately need a happy reunion for the clocktower trio. This was just ... there are no words. The reunion's going to happen. Maybe not like this but ... dang ... it will tide me over before then. This was beautiful. And my heart needed this today. Thank you.

GOD DAMMIT MY HEART CAN'T HANDLE THIS!!!

Awwwwwww so well done! The hug was frigging accurate to the game!

Jesus. This ALWAYS makes me teared up. I LOVE THIS ART STYLE THANK YOU SO MUCH!! And may your heart always be your guiding key.

I love this so much. I've read the mangas and it show how broke Axel was over this and this is just amazing. I wish this were cannon. It's just so sweet.

Dude. That was so beautiful. I think I wanted to cry with them.

I would really love to see something similar in kh3. Closure for them (xion especially) without trying to bring her back completely and ruin the sacrifice she made

358/Days was my frist Kingdom Hearts games, and also one of the only trio I will probably loved until this end. I have been always so touched (emotionally) by their story. I know it probably won't happen in Kingdom Hearts III. But my hearts always hope that kind of reunion in my hearts. This times, it's not square enix which makes my cry: but you. Seeing them happy, just one moment, like you did. It warmed my heart. Thank you.

Oh MY GOsh this is so beautiful, I want this to be in KH3, this should be mandatory, thanks for your work this scene is gorgeous and so emotional. It's all I would want to be in the game (and Terra-Aqua-Ventus reunion)

*Video is called never forget* Me: *Forgets that Kingdom Hearts existed* Sora: Mr. Axel I don't feel so good

This is so beautiful. I love this so much. I want those three to be happy again.

Ive only been able to sorta find out the rest of the timeline of KH via KH3 videos, but jeez did this and your other videos make me tear up. Keep up the brilliant work man. Can't wait to see more on Dark Sora!

Until we get an explanation for Xion's return for KH3, this is still my go to. I wish more than anything that this actually happened in game, not sidelined for the end by the pixar worlds, something, anything would of been better than what we got. Maybe the dlc will patch it up but we'll see

This was so touching. I gonna watch it a million times more now.

*screeches with tears*

I love the guitar when axel remembers xion and she starts crying with happiness... I broke so bad (1:08)

How don't have the ability to like this enough times. That was beautifull.

The way I know if a comic is sad is if it makes me cry. Let’s see what you got. After watching: 😭😭😭 You did really good!! I think this is the only comic I’ve ever cried in.

i watched this, and unbreakable connection in one sitting and *oh my god im gross sobbing.* thank you.

OH MY GODDDD IM CRYING SO BADD!!!! AND THE TANGLED MUSIC DOESNT HELP!!! OH LORD

You sir need to warn someone when you're about to ram them in the feels with a FREIGHT TRAIN! 😭😭😭😭

This is so sweet! Where are they at, Spirit World? Oh! You shot me in the feels! 😥😥😥😭😭😭

HOW DO YOU ALWAYS MANAGE TO MAKE ME CRY??

You've got me in tears and I never even finished 358/2 Days. I love your KH work soo much. ;w;

GOOD JOB YOU DID YOUR WORK AS A STORYBOARDER YOU BROKE MY HEARTS AGAIN. PUTAIN DE BEAUTIFULL. I wish the actual voices actors could dub your animatic for fun. But they won't... *snob even more*

...you'd think I'd be good, watching this after everything turns out fine for these three at the end of KH3. Nope. Ugly sobbing on my couch. Hardcore gross crying. Damn.

Absolutely incredible. Thank you.

OMG THIS IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PURE! I want this scene in KH3 REALLY bad!

"Xion?" *sniff* One word, and the eyes start getting watery.

I strongly prefer this over what we got in KH3. It's not a perfect happy ending, but it's very bittersweet. It feels more earned as well.

Yes Kairi and Sora help New Friend Lea

Why did you have to make me cry like this....

*gives you heart* Here I don’t need it anymore, you’ve already killed it.. :,(

Thank you for existing

Who is cutting onions near to me?

And here I thought that Kingdom Hearts fans were not talented geniuses. Been proven wrong by this video and I wish you success!

i watched tangled recently and when this music played i literally was watching this in my head xD

THIS MADE ME CRY 😭 THAT WAS AWESOME

Thank you for this, I mean it for real

IM NOT CRYING, YOU ARE..

God dang it!! All the feels just came rushing back! I got chills when I saw Xions face just break when she thought Axel didn't recognize her. I mean, she has no reason to think he would with all that happened. I thought it was gonna end bitter sweet with her turning and fading away. But then he says her name and I just can't handle it!! You're so good, unimaginably good at getting so much emotion across and it's just...I can't say enough great things! Wonderful job! Truely!

This, this actually made me tear up. It's amazing! So much emotion and effort in this.

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE OOOOH MY HEARTTTTRTT

Damn it.... 😢😢😢😢 Its a bad day for rain

I kinda regret finding our tumblr cus it breaks my heart a lot xD yet some made me laugh too! But really, thank you for this beautiful scene you've given us :"D Aaaaghhhhh my heaaartttt 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Are there even words to describe how amazing this is?! Tears of absolute happiness. My heart is complete.

Lea will see his are friends again once the war is over truly over

Bro this be tugging my heart strings

I'm not crying, I just have a tree in my eye... (This is beautiful, and you're amazing. Thank you 💖)

My soul feels so happy

M-must n-ot cry...

Tears were shed. Lovely animatic. As a veteran Kingdom Hearts fan, I thank you.

I just played through kingdom hearts three, the big reunion of Adel Roxas and Xion was very similar to this,you almost nailed it on the head
