Quick Pro, Con, Improvements Review

Okay, I just noticed this on the Flash Portal today and just finished the preview and 1st episode. I will try to keep this brief. [Checked the site as I was typing this and noticed this project is more developed than I had thought, so I cut out irrelevant chucks of this review... trust me it is still a great review :)]

-Pros-
*I am enjoying the story so far based on the preview and what has happened so far. Great hook.
*Enjoyed the look of the artwork, and if your profile picture is any indicator of look of the future episodes, then we are in for a treat.
*Some people are incredibly picky with it comes to voice acting, but I thought they did okay for the characters they portrayed.

-Cons-
*I hate to mention it since you stated this was made in 06, but the animation is a bit lacking compared to other flashes nowadays. Normally, I would disregard this, but I am mentioning this again in case people skipped over the fact that this was done in 06.

-Improvements-
*Hopefully better animation once the series progresses.
*In regards to the length, I think you should split the series based upon how the scenes flow, and not due to time. By doing this you avoid any awkwardness from each of these flash submissions. However, you have to bear in mind that longer scenes produce a larger size, and people with slower connections are likely going to pass on that... If dial-up users still exist?

-Final note-
A great anime story that is sure to become a hit. A solid 8 out of 10. Good luck splitting the scenes and I am sure many Newgrounders, including me, will look forward to the next episode.

Good Anime

From what I saw I think you were kinda following the japanese anime sorta approach, I am a huge fan of anime such as bleach and naruto, and even though the animation needs a bit of tweaking, although if you did that all yourself then your a gifted artist well done and keep them coming. Although the DVD idea is good, you should also just post a download link for it that way quality and size is not an issue.

Well done

this animation is a very good peace I've seen. you could use some tweaks here and there but I'm sure with a little more practice you animations whould be perfect. but nether the less you still did a fantastic job on this. Hope to see more sometime.

Hmmm... hard to judge this.

Ok, first off. I really appreciate the effort you went into this with... it is a lot better than most of the anime junk that passes through the portal.

The visuals were GREAT but the animation was not. Don't get me wrong, the animation was good, but if you're using visuals of such high quality like the ones in your movie you need quality animation to match it. I know you've mentioned your series, but instead of spending time on a 60 minute piece with great visuals and decent animation... try making a shorter piece with amazing visuals and amazing animation... looking at your style I know you could do it oh so easily.

Your storyline is quite good though, especially in comparison to other anime series that get thrown on here. You've taken something that's a little more realistic, you've made the characters more unique.

On that note. Kill your voice actors. Sorry to say it but they really destroyed a lot of character development in this. With better voice actors you can have a more convincing and better set out list of characters.

Once again, thanks for putting in effort with this, the score you recieved does not match the one you should have received, so I'm giving you a 5 to try and boost it up.

Looking forward to the rest of the series.

Pretty good...

I enjoyed this. Would've taken ages with the attention to detail. Though I think it could be better with a few pointers. I think it would've been better off without the anime theme. Also, it would've been nice to see some of the destruction on the news report (broken windows...)
Good luck on the next one.
