Every problem I had with the first episode has been improved on yet persists. The monologue by Bowser before he absorbed the crystal was suspenseful. And the part where he smashed Mario on the ground and made him scream was hard to watch in an effective way. I'm looking forward to episode three!
UPDATE: I just watched this video that reveals all your plagiarism, and I am disappointed.
