I don't like your artstyle, but the animation and how well it communicates motion and emotion is top notch. Keep up the good work.

Made me think of Ed, Edd, and Eddie.

Nice but... I'm not getting what the freedom cost.
I mean... what was lost for it? The sword? Because he was going to have to leave that way eventually.

It's a good animation, don't get me wrong, but the title and the "freedom ain't cheap" line just don't seem to match up.

nice story

I thought I said this already but I noticed right off the bat that the mermaid looked like an ed edd and eddy character. And how did those manacles contain her?
