Reviews for "Katar II"

Hey! I was watching that! Really good, cant wait for the next one :D

Hey homeboy!

// START REVIEW

0. Hello.

1. Good Points:
- Graphics (as always, I've always been a fan of your artwork, I especially liked how you did Hahara and the machineries)
- Coloring (your coloring has come a long way, it isn't too bright anymore)
- Voice Acting (finally you've found yourself voice actors! I remember a few months ago you were asking for my help recruiting some)
- Music (anime and game inspired but it's okay, in moderation)

2. (Not so) Good Points
- Graphics (as opposed to the good point, the other characters were underdeveloped but this is understandable. Why would you spend 8 or so hours drawing up someone that you're going to kill off in a matter of seconds, right?)
- SFX (the training sequence, among others, seems to lack sfx maybe in sequels you can assign some for at least the katar "slash" sequence)
- Animation (I'm not one to lecture you about animation because I'm weak at it as well but there are alot to improve. I must admit, you have shown tremendous improvement in that field though.)
- Story (knowing you, you do tend to lean towards the anime-style of storytelling and nothing is wrong with that. What you can do is maybe separate a little from that style so that you can make a style of your own, do you get me man? I must admit, the long narration sequence was a little bit tedious to watch, maybe you could lessen that and leave room for interpretation, ala western style of storytelling.)

3. I left a pm of congratulations in your inbox.

4. Good Day.

5. Regards, Sif

A gr5eat concept but...

Honestly, the epic presentation of chapter one is lost here in a flood of backstory. Not only that, but the pacing is, to be blunt, absolute shit. You need snatches of these scenes, flashbacks, something to break them up into something more than a sombre march of memories, this piece needs the action the previous installment had by the horns.

That, and I'm really dissapointed that massive explosion/beam didn't have some kind of epic SFX... honestly I could dot hat kind of stuff so it shouldn't be that hard. Also, the final fantasy music, although well composed, is VERY dated for this sort of piece.

I only say this sort of thing because I REALLY want this piece to see its full potential. Hopefully it can be done.

Not bad

Hahare reminds me of Nariko from the new Heavenly Sword. :D

What I noticed was that the text didn't fit in place with the voices. Also, I think that you shouldn't have only some sound effects during battle and at other times no sound at all. It just shatters the whole idea of anger/hatred or whatever the character is trying to express. Very well-animated, if not for that. Keep it up!
