Little boring and long on the talking parts, but the music and animation is good.
Reviews for "TOME Episode 03"
While I enjoy the comedic value of this series and its artwork, I do have to agree with earlier comments in that I feel that its storyline is a blatant copy of .hack//Sign's storyline.
The visuals are strong in this animation, still improving from the previous installments.
But the first conversation scene?
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFuuuuucc-.....zzzzzZZZZz zzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZ.
You combine a lot of visual styles. A LOT. With inspiration obviously coming from a selection of popular anime and action films/cartoons.
I wrote a review for your first episode about consistency and the same problems arise, font use being a major one.
Is there a need for about 10 fonts in one animation? I don't see what individual ones add to the feel of the story, or the dialogue. They're pointless aesthetics, some of which aren't as easy to read as others, a simple sans-serif comic dialogue font or something such as Arial, Helvetica or Gotham would suffice as they are easy to read. I suppose you have produced 3 animations with this style, so changing at this stage would perhaps even "create" inconsistency
Your voice acting is fantastic, I must say the audio sounds great, and there are a variety of great music and sound effects.
This is an impressive animation for the length of it and I prefer it a lot more than the previous two, even if the conversations can be quite dry and long winded.
I liked some of the voice acting but the plot was too cliched. I saw everything coming from miles away. Not that I was expecting much complexity or subtlety at all but it was fun to watch.
i have seen the other episodes of TOME. but there is one problem in the series so far.
THE HACKERS DO NOT CAUSE ANY DAMAGE.
the characters do not act like hackers either. saying that they are a hacker does not make them hacker. they all act like those 13 year old hacker wannabes that claim that they can hack but doesn't even know basic programming other than small lines like "print".
i believe that it would improve the series a little more if you could make the "hackers" act more like hackers.
