Nice.
The animation and sound quality have definitely improved, and it' be good to see how much better they get by the end of the series.
Looks like you've got a good series here, and the story so far looks pretty cool.
I know it's hard to do well, but i'd like to see more actual sword fighting in the next one. It seemed like there was more in the last one, and you had some good ideas in that.
Looking forward to the next one, too!
