Better!
It is kind of sad with how you were never able to finish this series, as it did get better as it went on. I do know there's a lot of other stuff more popular you should be working on. Anyway, I thought this was better as it had more improved animation and actual voices. I at first was really turned off by the recap from the previous episode as it looked pretty cheap. The story itself was pretty absorbing, so I managed to forget that quickly. It looks like this was a good experiment in your early stuff.
