ABSOLUTE CINEMA, but damn I wish there was more and alas had to be cut due to the deadline.
But my goodness, I liked what there was so far, and a creative take on a wolf as a love interest. The writing, it flows so well, and I never had the experience of school theater, only heard stories, but from what I know, it captures that environment so well. The art (my goodness, I love the art), the painterly strokes and brushes used for the characters and some of the environment, amazing. The presentation presents such good splits between the gorgeous scenery of the theater, juxtaposed with the school scenery. I love that one scene where the Demon and Princess are at a creek, and at the background there was a wall, and I thought at first it was some sort of like "Oh right, this is a stage that's a cool concept of reminding that even in a fictional setting they are at a play." And then some lines later and it reveals about the world, and I was intrigued by the story even more, a double immersion of sorts. I also love the interaction between the MC and the Ram, and their characters, and I love to see what the MC will do with their newfound exploration of personal identity, I will call them they until they figure out themself for now, yes they're gay but like, I don't know if they might be trans after the writing.
But hmm, I actually don't know where "Light in the dark" theme applies here though, maybe due to it not being finished is the reason, maybe the spotlight? Or maybe it's in my face and I don't really see it.
