"Good Potential"

date: February 15, 2004

Ok, I'll just break everything down.
Graphics - 8: Well drawn for the most part, but the the flaws lie in the animation itself. The walk of the characters is a bit unnatural. Also, this made you lose on both sound and animation, the voice over is off, by an obvious ammount.

Sound - 9: the only thing that stopped you from a ten here was the voice over being off and the volume of the voices. It needs to be adjusted, I can barely hear the girl, while the other two characters come out very loud.

Style - 7: Obviously it has certain feels to it, the music especially made me think of more recent zelda games, but still well done.

Overall - 7: (I figured the other categories were self explanatory) On top of the comments i've already given, you're overall score was docked to 7 (a four on vote scale) because of the lack of a story at the moment. If you're going to release something in installments you have to at least establish some sort of story to keep people coming back, even if it's not the main one, a story of some sort, side or otherwise, needs to be established.

"It's kind of a shame...."

date: February 15, 2004

I'm giving you a score that's maybe harsher than deserved, but it's such a shame that an animation with such amazing art is bogged down so much by lack of everything else.

The graphics are fantastic, but there's nothing I hate more than a serious or high-quality movie with horrible (truly horrible) voice acting. I understand that this is just a flash movie and your resources were probably limited; but in this case, I would've much rather read subtitles than listen to that awful VA'ing.

As far as the story goes, I know it's just the beginning, but I already find myself terribly uninterested and sick of the two main characters (especially the girl with the shitty voice acting).

Whoever the artist is on this movie should drop the rest of the participants and find some skilled partners. I love the artwork and would love to see that talent applied to what could be an exceptional animation (flash or otherwise).

Author's Response:

Yes... we are limited in resources. The voice actors of this cartoon happen to be the artists themselves. So dropping them might prove stupid. Thanks anyway SpaceButler.

"Hmmm...."

date: February 15, 2004

It didn't do it for me, sorry. The graphics were only KIND OF good, and the story wasn't funny at all or interesting as a matter of fact!

"Very well made"

date: February 15, 2004

i liked it, it wasn't like you were trying to be funny for people to laugh at loud but it was entertaining in a high level. I also disagree with the last review. And this shouldn't be blammed in any way

"Well..."

date: February 15, 2004

... i understand that was an opening cartoon, and was jst an opener, but cold you please inclde something that adds to enjoyment value. I understand this is an opener, but please. well, the series has alot of potential, so i wont blam it, but you should consider adding humor, or violence to your cartoons, or even just an entertaining plot. I understand that you put hard work into it, bt that really had low, if any, entertainment value

"Very good."

date: February 15, 2004

Great animation. Strong opening for the series. My only real complaint is the kinda-low quality microphones and voice equipment. Great Music though! Probably composed on a Korg or a Kurzweil. Very good Compositions.

Also, the beginning was kinda slow-paced but then again, it IS the beginning of a series (so it's ok). Good job.

Author's Response:

Thanks jack! Yes some Korg sounds, as well as Alesis. And yes, the only mic we have is an SM58. :(
