Reviews for "Morphemon Duelists 1.5"

Ha

It was interesting. I would have given it a 10 but I just didnt get it. :| There was some funny parts. But the animation and graphics blew me away, so I have to give you credit for that. The sounds and the VO was excelent. I'd just work on your plot a bit. I say that with respect and mean no offence by it. But all and all it was cool. So good work.

*end transmission*

PiGPEN responds:

you have to watch the other 4 parts :d sorries......that and the story itself isnt meaningful...only the experience it brings.

Hobos sometimes drink their own urine to survive.

Excellent "screw you" to the audience, the plot, and all common sense... Just like the real thing! You really captured the classic style of kiddie anime with this episode, and ending it with the entire group bathing was a nice touch.

That, combined with the fact that you not only mocked the series you initially lampooned, but mocked your own loosely established "rules," makes the episode overall surprisingly cerebral.

You really should edit these together to form a single episode and post it on your site. Watching them consecutively, I get the feeling I'm missing out on some of the flow that the whole thing might have.

*Note: much like yourself, I too hold a sentimental love for kiddie anime like Digimon. I'm not really that cynical.

PiGPEN responds:

Rules are for dorks.
Im working on making a full length version but its a hard job especially since flash can only hold 16,000 frames in a timeline before glitching out (the final edit of Morphemon ep1 plays for a total playtime of 21 minutes at 24 frames per second...do the math). Also the whole trouble o getting it to not lag the eff out.

*<3 Digimon. It's not as kiddie as many think though...its kiddie but still not something that wouldnt be interesting to an adult (like Pixar are always aiming to do).

lol that was awsome

the end was great (a little gay but still funny). this is definatly good quality work. keep it up

Getting back on track...

I didn't post a review of 1.4 and, though I enjoy this series, I kinda considered it a low point. This episode has restored my faith, as it doesn't rely on random humor as much and is getting back to playing off the quirkyness of the characters (which, to me, is the best part of this series.)

The random and sexual humor has never really done much for me. It's not that I want it eliminated, because it's funny out of the blue and in small doses, but what drew me into this series was how, in episodes 1.1-1.3, the humor came more from the clever spoofing of the genre as a whole rather than simply putting the genre's archetypes in offbeat situations (as usually happens when people do "Collection Anime" spoofs.)

This was a definite improvement over 1.4, but I hope that maybe as the series progresses you'll focus more on developing the story and characters and making fun of the stylistic and narrative cliches of the genre (which, as you have shown, you CAN do quite well.)

I eagerly await the start of episode 2. If it lives up to the tremendous potential this series has, Morphemon Duelists will BE the coolest.

PiGPEN responds:

It's gonna be a long while before episode 2 because while the script is done (you wont be dissapointed) the voices are at 0% complete and because of the planned change in style for episode 2 i need to get a wacom (so expensive T_T).
Episode 1 was meant to be the second most random episode and the one with the least depth...you'll be completely full and sick of depth after seeing episode 2.

neat

i could do better on the drawing because i made an Apocalyptic demon named Patchwork. He is made out of every evil creature i faced in my games. {he even sometimes like i scare myself}
wellany way good animation make more animations like that.
