[ace-and-ranty]

I was relistening to Vengance Saga without the animatics and I think this is the first saga that genuinely felt like it was written with animatics in mind and I feel it really brings it down? The first half of 600 Strike does NOT stand on its own without visuals and I feel that weakens the impact of the final confrontation and the song as a whole. There's so much empty space in the last three songs of the saga that I feel were specifically designed for artists to put images in, rather than allowing listeners to really immerse themselves in the story and music on their own.

That would make sense. I watched near the entire musical in random animatics before I ever sat down to do a listen-through, so I couldn't tell you if I feel the difference. But when I was listening to the last song, I will say I 100% thought what was happening is that the ghosts of his comrades were fighting Poseidon, so then when I went to see the animatics I was like...

...the fuck is that.
