Not quite sure, about that. I'm gonna have to do some new sprite ripping before I actually start working on the next episode. So until I have that done, it's uncertain.

Yeah, not many reviews to speak of, but I enjoy reading every one of them.
Pre-production started at the beginning of April. Towards the end of April I had ripped, recolored, and animated most sprites I needed. Most sprites being the ones I knew I would use in the current episode, so I might come to a point in the production where I'll need more sprites to work on that I need.
Production of the actual episode started at the beginning of May. I've been working on it since then and the episode is currently almost six minutes long. No action scenes to speak of at the moment, though I think I'm kind of nearing that point. Just having a little trouble working out how it will begin and how it will flow. In my outline of how a particular character is introduced, it kind of conflicts with what is currently happening in the episode, but I think I can come up with solution to that.
Anyways, glad you liked the episode and thanks for the review!
OMG
A-W-S-O-M-E-!-!-!-!
lol, that was insane XD i liked how multiple people were fighting at once, and yay, Tales of Symphonia music. this is definately one of the best sprite series made. i hope you dont get mad at me asking, but how is the next episode coming along? is it easier than the one you just made?

Thanks for the comments.
Since I'm currently at an action sequence, it's taking me a long time to come up with what actually happens in it. So it isn't any easier coming up with action sequences. Animating them still takes as long as the last episode so even if I can animate the sequences with relative proficiency, it isn't any easier.
The dialogue scenes were done fairly quickly. About 7-8 scenes totaling about 9 minutes took me about a week or so to do since I didn't really have to do any complex animations.
As of right now, I'm still wondering what the sequence of events will be for the action scenes and how long each main sequence will be since the action will play out in about 4 different locations all right after the other.
Basically it will flow like this:
A->B->A->C->D
Each letter is the location, so Chris and his companions go from point A to point B, then back to A which leads to C then finally D (which if it all goes as planned, leads to the exit of the underground city). This entire time when going through these locations they're fighting an opposition that won't let up.
So yeah, I have a lot of work ahead me *sighs*.
Still Awesome
I already said i love this series but i must know if the next ep is going to take a year like this one did?

I don't think it'll take a year. Though thinking of how the action sequences will play out is taking just as long as last time. This time, however, the event isn't as important as it was in episode 6.4. If anything, this action sequence is giving you an idea of what force Chris and his companions will have to deal with in the next story arc. So, after this episode I'm working on currently is finished, you won't see this force again until this story arc is over.
It weird, though. I have the episode after the one I'm currently working on more fleshed out in my mind than this one. I want to work more on that episode, honostly, since the action sequence I'm currently working on could be considered filler.
Anyways, thanks for comments!
