You can do non-blocking animation timelines without any library if you use async javascript.
Click me to change color every second, then remove.
// Locality of Behavior
me = document.currentScript.parentElement;
me.addEventListener("click", async event => {
me = event.target
me.style.transition = "background 1s"
await sleep(1000)
me.style.background = "red"
await sleep(1000)
me.style.background = "green"
await sleep(1000)
me.style.background = "blue"
await sleep(1000)
me.style.background = "none"
await sleep(1000)
me.remove()
})
const sleep = ms => new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, ms));
