Hmm…

I really do enjoy the plot and characters and the design of the characters, but some things seem a little…

Well…

The stiff animation, default fonts and gaps between dialogue are just too similar to the "Law For Kids" flash animations or something like that.

I mean, I'll go easy on it, considering that it's a pilot, but it can use a little polish in some areas and more in others, but once that happens and the characters are fully developed and all that jazz, it'd probably be pretty fuckin' baddass. Like, what I imagine this becoming something I'd look forward to keeping up with.

All it really needs is:
-more lively voice acting (Which it's really almost there)
-More animation and smoother movements and maybe a little more detail (Like hand drawn lettering in the background
-More audio. (Music, sound effects, ambiance, whatever)

Well, it basically just needs to be more lively and express the emotions of the characters better than it does in this pre-pilot thingie.

Rating this at 3.5 because of the fuckload of potential.

Hey thank you! That was an honest review! Yea it is the pilot and as time goes on the character "data base" for hand movements and the things you listed will grow. I am currently the only animator for this series, so its very much a big work load. As for the fonts, I will take note of that! I created the font for the Show Title (the eyes moving and stuff) but I see what your saying as for the fonts "in the actual show" like on the buildings. However, I did create the Cob Web Bar and Grille font myself. I have been working day and night to get better with my "movements regarding the characters and I have better getting better and better each time I open the software! .... Thank you for your review! I am glad you see this having a ton of potential, the cast thinks so to! We are excited to have this up and running full speed! Thank You!

Good aniumation , ok plot , seems like its going to be a good movie, but make sure you add credits to your voise actors and who wrote the music that was playig and what it is . i dont want you to get a copywrite strike form anyone, for your hard work .

2dJonnyT responds:

I got your message about writing this before you read the description above :) No worries! I always credit those who are involved. In fact, intro and outros with credits are one of my favorite things to animate, due to snycing music and such!

On a side note to anyone thinking I can not use the music, in this or any episode, because it is copyrighted, I would like to point out that I do have a proper release form signed and dated from all of the bands involved in the life of jester. These release forms are uploaded to my dumping grounds as well, for my own protection.
