Reviews for Arrogancy: Chapter 3 (SV)

[Istari]

Nice!

Very pretty animation! However, I have the same problem with this as I did with Vampire Hunter Ina: most of the "action" scenes aren't framed by framed, but just tweened symbols followed by a white screen to indicate a hit, then more tweened symbols showing the results of that hit. Ever since seeing Genryu's Blade, where each slash, each kick, involved 8-9 different frames with 30-40 painstackingly placed symbols representing different body parts see from different perspectives, I just couldn't give stuff like yours a 10 anymore.
The sound was a bit lackluster, too, but hey, you made it yourself!

arrogancy responds:

Please don't compare my animation to Vampire Hunter Ina. It took me too long to painstakenly draw and time those frames to compare it to a movie without ANY frame-by frame. Not to mention that the real version has voice acting, which also took frame by frame, and I did my own music instead of using some top - 50 rock song. :)

All of my punches/kicks contained AT LEAST 3-4 frames of animation from the person doing it. That's what jumps the file size up, after all.

It's incomparable to Genyu's Blade because, being a one-shot, he had enough time to do whatever he pleased. Having a series in which you have to constantly worry about file size and the timing of episodes doesn't allow you to do that. And his chracters were slightly less complex than mine, allowing him more room in his frame by frame.

Nice

(This review is for the full version on your site)
I am interested in this series. It is a real series as opposed to several independent stories with the same characters.
I also like the idea of actually having a plot - you're doing a good job in this area.
Of course, I must comment about the art/animation: it is excellent.
Like the last reviewer said: that scene when Arrogancy came to the room with clothes was truly in the tradition of real mangas. It's also the reason I gave you a "5" for humor in this otherwise "serious" movie.
My only real complaints have to do with sound and action.
The voice of Commander Jacobs does not fit the character at all. I'm assuming that you are doing his voice (I could be wrong), but maybe you should have someone else do it.
And my second "complaint" (if you could call it that) has to do with the action in the movie. The fight sequence, though pretty well done, seemed to move a little slow. You should make your cuts a little faster, or something.
Also, you could DEFINITELY use some better sound effects when people get punched and kicked. Right now, even full blown head smashes sound like flyswats. It just doesn't do justice to the painful-looking animations.
Other than that, great job! I am really looking forward to Chapter 4.
