I like this, but....
Something needs to be done in regards to making the spoken dialogue more synchronized. Sometimes they're loud, sometimes soft, and in this one at one point the King of Locklair had a loud echo that none of the other voice cast had to his voice. I understand it can be difficult when working with various talents, but there must be a way to keep it more level.
The animation is pretty good, and the story....well, the story is still evolving, and I will wait and watch, and see where it goes. This has a lot of potential, and you certainly do possess animation skills. I shall await the next installment.
As for the name of the mushroom, Shittake or Shiitake are acceptable, but the original Japanese to English spelling was Shiitake. You probably already know this, but just FYI anyways. I personally prefer Shiitake....I have too often seen the other form used derogatively. BTW, I am NOT suggesting you change the name in any way, shape or form! I'm just making an innocent comment. =^-^= NEways, keep up the good work!
