Reviews for "ECLIPSE FORCE"
very well done, interesting concept. the over-the-top combat worked very nicely with the just as over-the-top lack of seriousness about the entire situation.
Eclipse Force feels like a mix of Anime and 90's cartoon. The concept is very interesting, if you put more work to it, I think it has lots of potential to be a great series.
Some scenes need to be polished. For example, the tweening helicopter at 0:45 is kinda lazy, I would improve it by adding some random movement to the straight path, adjusting the "Ease" setting, or "shaking" the camera. Also, characters costumes are a bit plain. (Luna seems to get her tank top and yoga pants from Walmart... :-P) I think you could add some patterns or accessories to their clothing, you gotta give the team some eye popping costumes.
Over all, you and your team have done a good job. With more polishing, Eclipse Force can be a great animation.

Thank you so much! The helicopter scene makes me grit my teeth, I need to get better at machinery. Also was done very close to the deadline, but after a year of work I was like screw it, I am not going back to tweak it! Ideally I could spend month or so polishing and cleaning (especially the backgrounds)
Ask for the clothing, believe me I would love to make them more elaborate, but when you make a 7 minute film and you are the only person drawing it, topped with work and other classes, every extra pen stroke required to draw the character adds up in the end, and since I have humanoid characters with "accurate" anatomy, I had to be very careful how elaborate I made the costume. Much thanks for this review!
im not even done watching it and im impressed. the sound design also was really good.
Chakra-X responds:
Thank you! First review noticing the sound design, I actually put effort in that since it was a supernatural fighting cartoon
Good job, I found very good the quality of the drawings the animation and the battle sequence
I just wanted to ask why not even talk to the bald, attacking him directly
I mean as a viewer I found it strange that they attack him (maybe I missed something or there is a part of history that do not know)
Of course it's strange that he appears out of nowhere next to a meteorite,
but still could not have been hostile
Anyway I do not care because I liked the fight scene Wiiiii =D
Chakra-X responds:
Nah you are right I lacked the time to flesh out the story of Cygnus, so my excuse was he looked nefarious, so the hotheaded Sol just charged in. Thanks!
