An Animatic/AMV Idea- Sera’s Confession (But it’s a Redeemed Character and The One Who Showed ‘Em Kindness)
Thought I was righteously leading our people, but
Now I'm faced with the truth
What kind of leader can't tell good from evil?
All those poor souls, how many could have been saved?
How could I trust in a justice so cruel and depraved?
One seeks an answer that one cannot grant her
You're looking for light only you can ignite
Every transgression must serve as a lesson
Yesterday, you drew sorrow
What will you do tomorrow?
I feel no wiser than when I commanded the slaughter of those sons and daughters
How can I be sure I don't repeat more massacre based on mistaken conceit?
If I stand down and leave us exposed, would that be blind to the threat Hell may pose?
You can't know, though time flows on
So you must bear the cross bestowed upon you
Give me a sign, what's your guidance?
You speak of choices made by other voices
You can only atone (tell me how to atone)
Once you speak with your own
And find their forgiveness on high
How much would the Hazbin Hotel song Sera’s Confession fit (These are just my ideas):
Piccolo (reflecting on his roots as his father’s son) to Gohan (Dragon Ball)
Endeavor to Todoroki (MHA)
Sesshomaru to Rin (Inuyasha)
Seto Kaiba to Mokuba (YuGiOh)
Crona to Maka (Soul Eater)
Gajeel to Levy (Fairy Tail)
Gaara, Obito, Nagato, or Sasuke to Naruto (Naruto)
Shoya Ishida to Shoko Nishimiya and Silent Voice’s Supporting Cast (Bonus points if it takes place after the movie AND it’s all in Sign Language and Shoya, facing everyone in the eyes, is trying to sign his confession out in the form of Sera’s lyrics to the rest of the cast as Shoko signs back the Speaker of God’s lyrics (Yuzuru (Shouts ‘THAT’S MY BIG SISTER!!), Ueno (Tries to mask her tears with self inflicted anger but succumbs to her vulnerable remorse), Kawai (Ends up having a silent heel realization), Nagatsuka, Sahara, His mom, Shoko’s mom, Shimada, Satoshi, Mashiba, etc.) and he unknowingly holds up a mirror to everyone (Ala Your Growth Can Help Others To Grow- and as everyone has realizations, it shows their wrongdoings and they show subtle but unmistakable horror on their faces)- as seen in my fanmade Epilogue, Forgiven (The vocals would be kept as their thoughts), though the animatic itself would focus on Shoya and Shoko- and the former finally facing people, looking inward, and the final (Important, final) X falling from his heart at the end as he and Shoko hug- symbolizing self forgiveness. The reason I included the supporting cast is so they can see how complicit they actually were and get a much needed reality check- the Xs on their own hearts fall away, too- symbolizing their character arcs beginning) (FOURTH PLACE) (A Silent Voice)

Holy crap. This song gave me chills when I first heard it.
Thoughts? And it fits ANY fandom, in animatic or AMV form.
The song ain’t about “I’m sorry.”, but “Can I finally forgive myself at last?”.
ESPECIALLY the lyrics “If souls from damnation can earn their salvation, and find their forgiveness on high… how do I?” (Vegeta’s animatic for this would have his Final Explosion (If souls from damnation can earn their salvation), followed by him being revived by the dragon balls in time for the final battle against Kid Buu, followed by him hugging Kid!Trunks and Bulma after the final battle (and find their forgiveness on high… how do I)) (While Shoya’s would be him finishing the signing, tears streaming down his face, the final X falling away from his heart as everyone else is shocked… (If souls from damnation can earn their salvation), followed by Shoko, tears of relief and joy in her eyes, signing “Yes… I… Forgive… You… All… Of… You!” Before hugging him at once, and they both let the tears fall as they hug. Cue the supporting cast’s heel realization coming into full effect one at a time. (and find their forgiveness on high… how do I))
