I Think this is one of the best original Anime's I've seen in a long time, and I love the style you used to make it. it was pretty funny as well as an Eye-opener.

I hope to see more of your work in the future!

"Good, but could have been better."

I really did like this flash, but there were a few reasons why I couldn't give it the full 10/10.

-----------
GRAPHICS
-----------
I did enjoy watching this animation, but graphically it wasn't too amazing. I did like the facial animation, and I thought the bodily animation wasn't bad, but the settings and props let the graphics down. Nothing that can't be worked on and polished up, so just keep practising with the program and you'll hit it eventually!

--------
SOUND
--------
I loved the voice acting most of all! The boy's was by far the greatest, then his sister, but I enjoyed all of it as a whole. The only problem was the bloody music was FAR too loud! It was nice music for the movie too, it just had a tendency to drown out the top-quality voice acting that was in there. I really wanted to give the sound 10/10 too, but the volume issues need to be sorted out.
________________________________

I'm not going to break the review down completely, as those above are just the things I think could be tweeked a little just to push this animation into the full 5/5.

Nevertheless, I didn't lie when I said I enjoyed watching this. I thought it was quite the awesome submission. Hope my review helped!

4/5

"Turn down teh music!!!"

Well it was nice, I enjoyed it, got most of it, but the one thing that I could not bear about this movie is the fact that the bloody music is louder than the dialogue. Seriously! I couldn't hear a thing that anybody said!

You used very professional sounding voice actors.
You have a unique drawing style.
You are a good script writer.
You spelled my last name, Rolufs, right in the voice audition credits.
;D

"AWESOMENESS!"

Hell, I didn't know what to think when I first saw the title and icon for this... I thought it would be something simple to show off artwork, but the start of it was AWESOME... and very unexpected. The syling looked very anime'ish like, although I could tell that you put your own personal style into it. It seemed like it was lagging a bit, but that was probably my own computer's fault for being so old and outdated :/. The framerate was good, and the expressions and dialogue of the characters equally so. The way the characters changed when the grasped the swords was a bit cliche, but (for me anyway) unexpected, and the storyline seems pretty decent.

Your incorporation of your own unique art style's pretty fresh; I love freshness... not to be confused with Frebreeze style, but that's probably close enough.

And, another thing: Kudos to you for creating a flash that's making me type so much, lol, haven't typed this much for a single entry in so long. And hey, you're getting an 8 from most of the user ratings, and possibly the first 10 I've ever given to ANY flash, because I've had to rate a little higher due to the said computer problem. Besides, it looks like you've earned it.

And to Pirate, the ignorant anti-Japanese person a few posts below me: I hope you're ready for the large otaku bashing you're probably going to be receiving from a lot of people, Japanese or not, for being a complete bigot turd. Luckily for you, I'll spare you the pain from my own bashing, since that'd probably take up the remaining 2000+ characters I have left to write with, lol.

Congrats Skaijo for you're excellent animation, and we hope to see episode 2. Also, congrats on being the first flash maker to ever to receive a 10 from me.
