The animation, while not being very polished and quite simple, has a certain charm to it and I appreciate it. I have to say, though, faces and no bodies being clearly visible through glass are pretty jarring. The set-up isn't terribly original but I still find it fun enough. I think the random way characters are introduced and interact is a bit weird, it feels forced, like people are showing up for their lines and then being told off by the protagonists 'cause there's nothing else for them to do. There were some nice jokes, the Mark Wahlberg dad one being an entertaining one and I really liked the "Oh ghank God, it's just a student" one, since I really had no idea where that situation would go! Some of the time, I found things hard to understand. The characters talk over each other at times and it's also partially down to me not always getting the accents, which is mostly okay 'cause, well, I'm just not familiar with them. There's also a problem where some characters talk much louder than others (the dude in the car) or some sounds (the music in the car) are significantly louder than the rest, so I had to keep switching volumes. Try to get them to more similar volumes in the future if you can and maybe find a way to make some lines overlap less with other sounds or have the voice acting be more easily understandable. I think there could sometimes be confusion, too, since characters often speak before they appear and when the dude who got hit by a car first appeared I couldn't tell where he was or what he was doing.
Overall, a fun first episode that has potential and I would like to see more of, with some fixable technical problems and lacking a bit in plot fluidity, which is something you'll get better at with time. Cheers!
