In addition to the accepted answer, we now have WAAPI which basically adds animation API to JavaScript.

For example,

/**
 * @returns {Object}
*/
function defaultFadeConfig() {
  return {      
      easing: 'linear', 
      iterations: 1, 
      direction: 'normal', 
      fill: 'forwards',
      delay: 0,
      endDelay: 0
    }  
}

/** 
 * @param {HTMLElement} el
 * @param {number} durationInMs
 * @param {Object} config
 * @returns {Promise}
 */
async function fadeOut(el, durationInMs, config = defaultFadeConfig()) {  
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {         
    const animation = el.animate([
      { opacity: '1' },
      { opacity: '0', offset: 0.5 },
      { opacity: '0', offset: 1 }
    ], {duration: durationInMs, ...config});
    animation.onfinish = () => resolve();
  })
}

/** 
 * @param {HTMLElement} el
 * @param {number} durationInMs
 * @param {Object} config
 * @returns {Promise}
 */
async function fadeIn(el, durationInMs, config = defaultFadeConfig()) {
  return new Promise((resolve) => {         
    const animation = el.animate([
      { opacity: '0' },
      { opacity: '0.5', offset: 0.5 },
      { opacity: '1', offset: 1 }
    ], {duration: durationInMs, ...config});
    animation.onfinish = () => resolve();
  });
}

window.addEventListener('load', async ()=> {
  const el = document.getElementById('el1');  
  for(const ipsum of "Neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor \uD83D\uDE00".split(' ')) {
    await fadeOut(el, 1000);  
    el.innerText = ipsum;
    await fadeIn(el, 2000);
  }
});

.text-center {
  text-align: center;
}

...
