Reviews for "The Hyrde Ep. 1"

Interesting First Episode

The voice acting was decent, though the script seemed a little wonky here and there ("just keep chopping goof-ball"). The animation was pretty good for the most part. I also thought the music was implemented well. The only real concern I have is - why didn't they just shoot the tree with that gun in the first place? If the gun so powerful that it can vaporize whatever it shoots (selectively though, since it didn't vaporize Specter as the tree was holding him), it seems like all the characters will ever have to do is go to a place, shoot the bad-guy, and repeat. I'd suggest putting some limitations on that gun to help in the audiences suspension of disbelief. Very stylish story though, and I'll be on the lookout for more.

Pretty sweet.

This was pretty enjoyable but it seemed rather cliché. The thing that bugged me most about it was that the gun took out the tree completely while they were trying to axe it to kill it slowly. I'm all for dramatic anticipation but if they could've used the gun to kill the tree that easily, why didn't they in the first place? Because of this I expect The Hyrde to make up things as they go in future episodes, which is something I think completely kills suspense. That gun is way too powerful, and if it takes out ANYTHING, then how am I to fear for the wellbeing of these characters?

This series definitely has potential, visually and conceptually (plus the voice acting is dang decent) but so far I'm at a crossroads. I hope it becomes a great series! :D Good luck!

Thanks for the comment. This is the second mention about the gun, so I thought I should address it. Yes, the gun has TREMENDOUS power, but it does have limitations with regard to the number of times in which it can actually be fired---they got lucky this time 'round. Not seeing the scripts for the future episodes, it is of course expected that you would have no idea about that. Thanks, for the time being, in suspending disbelief. And for the vote. :)

awsome

well it was good but what i really liket about it is the audio fantastic

Eh....

I liked the good quality of the voices, but the flash itself well... it reminded me of those E-surance commercials, or at least thats what it looks like. The whole story line was kinda dull and short too.

Not so smart :-P

So they have a gun that "vaporizes" matter but use an axe to cut the tree. Come on! LOL
Keep it up!
