pretty good
Pretty funny and well executed. 2 things, work on the animation, and cut the god damn japanese rock. The voice work was good though.
Reviews for "MERCY!!!: Episode 1"
k...
so the leader of the underworld is... a kitten? Ok and the almighty champion of the arena is... a rag doll?
Riiiight. Ok im a tad confused here.
Just didn't capture my interest.
It actually reminded me of a typical anime a lot. Really basic character design, choppy animation, awkward, very monotonous voice acting, odd dialogue, and really tedious fight scenes. I have to admit, the direction and execution was quite well done, and you seem to have a solid if not somewhat vague story. The use of Flash graphics with CG backgrounds was put to good use, but other than that nothing particularly impressed me. This just wasn't anything special.
Start-crap End-Good
the start was crap the end was pretty good though the end seemed very Japanese anime it was probably the voices with the music so basically the sound. looking forward to the next one that should be good.
A Good Start, But Nothing Groudbreaking
For the start of a series, not too bad, but I had a few problems.
First, the action scenes were a bit slow. They were smooth however, and fluidity was kept intact, despite its pace.
Second, the voice acting might have been diverse, but it was nothing too special. Not a major problem since its hard to find good people to speak for your films, but a problem nonetheless.
Also, the films pacing was a bit wierd. For instance, you mentioned the MC had lost only one battle but made no refrence to it afterwards. Also, what was the point of the rat? Lastly, the "master" seemed to be really blatant with his intentions, almost to the point of being cliched.
Anyway, I still look forward to seeing more from this series. Good Luck!
