This episode is really awesome! I had no idea what a tokay gecko was before this but when I looked into it they are vicious as hell. I could definitely picture it chanting in latin before it creeps into your house to murder your family lol The audio quality is really good and I loved hearing the screams of agony from the back room haha Much improvement on the animation too!

Gradually you seem to be fixing some of the problems a little as the series progresses. This is definitely the best one so far as you used a few different locations and had more of a plot line with development. The animation was still incredibly lacking, but there were some minor improvements in this area, which was nice to see.

Again, no preloader, play button or replay button. Like there were in the 5th, there were some white lines on the edges of the screen during the intro and credits that could do with being removed. The pillars being the only thing with any depth when everything else in the intro is flat still looks odd and something needs to be done to try and remedy this.

The title in the intro is grammatically incorrect. It should read 'Sean's Terrifying Lizards' with an apostrophe, not 'Seans Terrifying Lizards', which would refer to there being multiple Seans who are terrifying lizards. ;)

Again the lip syncing seemed good enough. The issues you had in this area seem to be a thing of the past. Your choice of sound effect for the fly buzzing was questionable though. It didn't sound very realistic at all.

I was pleased to see some small improvements in animation such as Jake shaking his head, panting and a door being opened. You've proven that you're capable of doing this, which makes me wonder why you neglect doing it so much in other areas. You still had no animation between hand movements, making the flash appear very jerky at times. The lizards needed to be animated while Jake was handling them as well. They were motionless and didn't react at all to him having picked them up. This made them look too much like toys.

I thought that you played out Jake walking through the lizard room slowly for a little too long. It got boring after a while since there was nothing really going on.

thats..... odd....

my names sean and my bros name is jake hmmmmm... oh and this is fucking funny!

SeanAndSuch responds:

HAHAHA! Surely it's just a coincidence and not that I'm stalking your lives ; )
Glad you enjoyed the episode!

-Sean

That tank looks worse than you smell LMAO

There were two parts inparticular that made me laugh out loud, 1 above, and the second being the lizard chanting in latin, but inbetween it seemed like there was a lot of nothing. Even though there wasn't much animation the graphics were really nice. Pretty good flash but it really didn't do it for me.

Wouldn't have minded another twist or two

+Distinct voice work
+Nice use of ambient sound
+Good facial animation (particularly with the Sean)
+I lol'd quite a few times

+/- I have mixed feelings about the drawing style

-Animation when Jake is walking into the gecko room gets really labored and choppy and doesn't really build much tension
-I was kind of disappointed that the lizard attack gag was played so straight
-the dialogue between the two characters (specifically in the beginning) could be snappier as a lot of the jokes begin to fall flat because the scene starts to stretch longer than it should
