Reviews for KAZAHANA: Merciless

Good ole' corny flash anime. I miss this.

While the drawings were good and clean, and the colors and character designs followed suit, I hate to sound like I haven't been waiting forever to see a new KFMB episode come out, you guys' style is really kinda starting to show its age. This is not to say that this doesn't well up the boner of nostalgia from being 13 years old, frantically running to the computer after school hoping to god there was a new episode of XIN out, but you guys are still animating like this is Newgrounds 2003. The fight was full of low-framerate character tweens and disjointed body-parts, and many of the movements looked kinda robotic. I really think you guys should consider updating your style to something more fluid so we have slick visuals to carry the story. Regardless, still good toonage for people who miss the "era" of flash anime series...and are desperately clawing to keep it alive. I STILL LOVE YOU!!!!

not bad

Here is my only suggestion that I think you should really take seriously. You have a good grasp on writting and have no problem animating but I highly suggest you "fine tune" your artwork. Something about it makes the characters seem like they are quickly thrown together and the shading is all smudgy. I don't suggest changing your artwork for the series but maybe do some more experimenting with it. Try some exercises like studying the human anatomy and face studies. The reason why I suggest fine tuning your artwork is because I have been following your work for quite some time and you have more story driven animations rather then action. Which means theres a lot more dialog involed and if you fail to entertain with the plot alone then the art needs to get the job done. I think your art is the only thing holding you back from taking your animations to the next level.

Potential

Well to be honest at first I was really bored, really bored. the story developed well and it managed to keep my attention. I hope you plan to keep it up you have a lot of potential for a fairly good series.
hope to give you a 10 on your next installment,

blaaaaaaaaaablaaaaaaaaaablaaaaaaaaaa..........

pretty good action sequence but your story telling is totally boring...you need to make it more dynamic, snappy...

hmmm

this was quite a good animation although the art itself was questionable at times.
also the story ringed some bells ( sekirei, ikkitousen, kämpfer) with a male cast.
hmm not that i complain.
improve the art and amaze us!

ps.. some of the voices sounded like they were done a bit too close to the mic ^^"
