It's great to see someone with original ideas and creativity make something.
I enjoyed the characters and the humor, but things moved very slowly and there were lapses with nothing filling them. Sometimes this makes sense in a movie because you are building suspense, or another element, but here it felt unintentional. Start off with Violence, sex, something supernatural, and the promise of more of all three (Shakespeare always had one or more in the first 15 minutes of his plays). Especially for an NG crowd. Then condense everything to the bare minimum. Take out all lines that don't move things along. You are making a very short film, so each second needs to bee treated as important.
Liked the hand-drawn graphics, but try to use color to bring out form rather then a coloring book approach.
Liked the humor. The axes. He promised not to cheat and to only use one of his brains. The black-hole grog.
Cut it down, speed it up, and have a satisfying plot in each episode, even if it is a piece of a whole.
