Reviews for "Across the Universe Ep.2"

Those are definitely two of my favorite animes, so the influence shows, huh.
Nice use of 3D/2D animation
I saw both episodes in order and I got to say this is a very interesting series. The voice acting was really good aswell and the cliff hanger left me guessing, more so in this episode than the first one.
Constructive criticism:
The animation could be better. Now dont get me wrong your way more talented than I could ever dream of being but in some places it still needed some tweeks. Me personaly it didnt bother me but I can see how it would bother other people. For instance that scene with the big robot (great design btw) grabbed onto buildings. Other than that everythings well put to together. I would say the quality but I understand the whole file size problem.

Also I have a couple of questions:
What 3D program did you use?
Why did this come out so long after the first?
And when can we expect the next one?

Anyways thats it. Good job cant wait for more!

Thanks for the review. The programs I used were Blender, for modeling characters and sets. Then I used XSI for rigging, animation and rendering. The implementation of 3d upped production time significantly but made animation quality more fluid. Currently working on episode 3 but I need to figure out the issues with file size first. I had many errors with flash, so that's why it ended up being in video format. I wont release the next episode until I can fix my problems. So release of the next episode depends on how long it will take me to learn.
this is great-
it reminds me of one of those old time space animes i use to watch back in the day from blockbuster....
AS good as I thouht it'd be!
Well worth the wait!
To be honest it's a lot more trippy than origially but...it's still good!
Well done
Refreshing art, pretentious story.
Despite some cliche overused movie logic, I found it to be entertaining. The diolog was a bit sappy, especially with every sentence being interrup-
but basically its a good corny syfi flick I'd expect to see pretty much anywhere, and I can probably turn on the syfi channel right now and find something just as good. At least it wasn't an overbearing anime cliche, then I wouldn't even bother to watch it. Maybe make the script lack in pretention a bit next time, and the keeping the audience mystified was only conveyed here as not knowing what was going on. Quite frankly making this episode a bit pointless with so much rising action and such little climax.
Although I liked the characters, I could only relate to them as being theatrical cliches and nothing more genuine then that. Maybe dig a bit deeper next time.
