I know people like violence, but really, this has 4.66? That was awful to watch. Sure the animation wasn't bad, but it was far from "perfect" which is what the score suggests, also it was the most repetitive heap of shit ever, "Scene 4, showdown" was exactly the same as every other "scene" just infront of some dragon statues.
I really hope coop is taking the piss with his review:
What a brilliant piece this is - the way that you've poured over the plot line and even with the attention to detail in the background, this piece is superb. Such flowing combat manoeuvres, that really keep us coming back for more. The reviews that you have had and the scoreline for this piece quite fail to do it justice.
I think that a few smaller issues with the combat could have been resolved quite simply - no blast marks when the bombs go off, considering that the SumoSamurai character does leave significant damage to the surroundings, you could at least have a few scorch marks. Perhaps it would look better if scene two ends up with the paper walls on fire?
In the final fight, I would have thought that Rose and Snowball could have tried to hit their nemesis at the same time, since they are both accomplished fighters and, judging by the amount it took to finally kill him, he could have parried no end of attacks from both sides.
Still, when you consider how amazing this piece is visually and with such a great soundtrack, I can only speculate that the next instalment of this wonderful series. Granted, these seem like individual missions, unlike the Madness series which might have inspired it (If it did, I feel sure that you have surpassed it, with your own style of animation and the detail that you bring along.)
Certainly worth the wait to see something as good as this.
