I thought everything was pretty good in this flash, the depth of story was alright as well as the action scenes and game references... but there is one little key point I'd like to hit on... the entire thing (at least to me) felt like it was just a self insert to please a alter-ego (that being Pkmn2's pikachu/mario hybrid thing). If you really wanted to pull this kind of a story off, you didn't have to do that and it certainly could have come across as more interesting if you had the person transported just like a actual human being (take from Star Ocean 2's book. The main hero is just a average joe who gets thrown into a world full of magic and monsters with no real guidance).
Reviews for "Parallel Memories: Ep 1-1"
Loading screen is awesome, feel like watching a real DVD.

That's all you can say? XD
The preloader must have been the best thing you've ever seen then.
Thanks for the comment either way.
ah mate this i find to be one of your best flashes...seeing how it took so long.
tho i will not blam it for not being out sooner it was great loved the story line, mainly the start works very good with the rest of the film.
But theres only one thing that i find a bit...werid/odd the bird.
Seeing how marichu is geting his but handed to him seems a bit odd to me...but to be fair it is another place in space were everthing that has ben a game is real so i will give it that.
but besides that i find it to be very great and i can't wait for 1-2.
Pienkaito responds:
The fighting scene with Marichu against the bird contributes nothing to the plot, so don't take it too seriously.
Thanks for commenting.
Finally! I've been waiting YEARS for this, man.
Very nice all around, and it looks like the series will be one of those video-games-in-real-life deals, but your one of the few who have actually made it interesting. Adding that with how good of an animator you are, and it makes for one good series.
By the way, I care about story, even in a flash animation. Who's with me? ...........No one?........ok......

This response is from Ran-Cossack:
"I originally met Pkmn2 while asking him for info on a song, and learned about Parallel Memories from him, so I know the feeling when it comes to waiting for it to finally arrive. Glad to see you enjoyed it too.
PS: I care about story too. Even if Pkmn2 just wants to blow things up .>.>"
Well I really loved it. The beginning was a little slow. I did notice that Marichu was just suddenly able to fight. I saw the trailer & your other work like 5 years ago. I clicked on LOL Runner & saw Marichu, and said "Hey I know this guy's stuff!" & then I watched. Animation was a little rough, Sound was good, & Story was a little tacked on.
Pretty good.
