Touching
Hey einstei,
congratulations for your really great movie. Sure, the animations were pretty rough, but in my opinion they are exactly the way they should be.
It's supporting the storyline, the emotions and the atmosphere - alltogether it is really cute and quite moving,
best regards,

It's a bit emo
but I like it, a bit molten animations and it will be great ;)
Err...
I couldn't enjoy it. I'm sorry, man. I was really trying, but I couldn't.
The artwork was fantastic, though. Despite being black and white (which I assume to be intentional), the proportions were very well done, and I'm grateful that you didn't turn it into an anime style (at least too much). There was too much detail to be shown, and you really pulled through on that. I also loved the little film grain you put over it.
The music was both cliche and unappealing. While it was a better selection than most other candidates, I found myself annoyed by it. Not only that, but there were no voices or sound effects. A voice to go along with it would have given it a very human element.
Lastly is the concept. While it was a valiant effort, it failed. Your comments on it summed up a few of the quotes pretty well: Cliche. While you say nothing can beat the sincerity of one's heart, I would think of sincerity best defined through phrases you wrote yourself. The canned lines were really bad.
Overall, the graphics were very good, but I found everything else to be lacking. I'd suggest you leave these side distractions and piece together Gen X: Chapter 2.
