Reviews for Koden X Prologue Part 1

[SaloMaya]

Good start

For a full animation, it was pretty boring, really, but as part of the full episode, it's a good start. The animation was pretty good, the voices could get a bit more work, and the 3D tutorial was pretty good. I liked the DVD esque features, but I have a little complaint that maybe doesn't matter at all, but I hate when in the subs, it displays every single "sound" on-screen. I hate this on DVDs and I hate this here... BUT you can keep it if you want, just add a "deaf" option for the subs. I hope the script is a lot better in the next parts/episodes. For now, I'm not gonna rant on ya (yet ;)) Keep it up!

cool

i liked it alot but i cant really say much because there was alot of good and bad things in it some funny parts . when they found him it was kind of confusing cause did they die or something ? and when did she find him did i miss it>? but overall it looks like it will be very good and hopefully well..... im expecting it to be a bit faster then 6 years to make the next addition to be here so i can watch it.get it here fast because you are sure to have fans now just like how Fallen Angel did and it took them awhile to get there animation going but anyways keep it up!

Winzra responds:

I am officially going to like have to take off that thing where it says it took 6 years lol! It actually took at most 200 hours to make this production; the 6 years was pretty much the story. And it's not like we mean literally 6 years either. After all, you have to consider those lengthy periods of time were you don't talk to your friends you work with as much, school, work, etc. But our original idea for the story came 6 years ago. But yeah, expect to see the next ones sooner then your probably thinking...! :3

It's your mother....

I'm telling you guys, you really need to let me proofread these things. I cannot believe you put 'SOUL" ownership. You know that's a cardinal sin in my book.

I am not a techno-buff or artist. Let me do the reading. It's what I do best. Okay? Since I'm your mom, my review probably doesn't count for much. Here it is anyway.

I like the beginning, but the end does seem to lose something. I think you need to develop the story more. Please don't tell me you killed the hunchback! I don't want to know that!

Great job, all in all, you two.

You had me up until the ending.

Nice colors, and visuals, the animation was kinda strange looking at times but the cartoon's graphics did it's job. The music was decent, as well as the sound effects. The voice acting was so-so through most of it, the actors aren't bad, but more realism, less anime in the voicing would've really turned this up a notch. The way you depicted all the random stuff around this world, the thieves, hunters, soldiers by the water, etc... I thought was really well done, and fun to watch.
Then it got to that last scene, mysterious guy found by sweet innocent girl, he's either an amnesiac or keeping his horrible violent past a secret, probably a legendary powerful warrior, somebody with demonic powers or something...that scene kinda ruineed it for me. But other than that, hope to see more, also hope it's not as generic unimaginative as that last scene. The rest was damn good though.

too much fan-service

I belive you meant to create something epic. In some dimensions, this movie kicks ass, but the thing most important, the story, the meaning went to fan-service dragonball shit.

Look, animation is fucking great, drawings were decent, sure you had to put much much effort in special effects, such as reflections, smokes, wind. I felt the atmosphere of awesomness. Also, you for sure must worked yourself big time on animating stuff. Later on, in girl and bed scene, it went to shit. Room design was shitty, and you see that rooms in every fucking anime. You could design some more claustrophobic interior, imitate more dusty atmosphere.

I'm not gonna stomp on your chara design, cuz everyone have their own. I didn't however, liked it. The girl eyes were too much anime for my taste. It made her face very flat and 2d. When drawing static panels such as girl looking, or talking without spinning her head, try to put some more effort, beacuse she looked crappy. Also I see some other artist influence in man designs, but whatever, at least they looked better than the bitch.

Sound went really good though, I apprecieate, that you've been through this big effort to have your wery own music credits, and that's great for sure. Sounds quality and variety was also very decent, so here you earned big plus.

Voice acting was quite good, but you guys and girls must work on intonation and make your voices more convincing. But it was g00d.

And everything leads to storyline.

Nice thing for you to have such great prelude. To develop few petty thieves characters, lead them into the essence of GAYNESS (only one girl in this very movie, plus very underdeveloped and repetetive character, dumb fanservice bitch), then *POOF* you fucking kill them all to make killer intro to your super-vegeta character.

And look, he wakes up! He's so fucking awesome that his hair stays always the same, even if he lied few days in bed, propably in agony.

If you must build some dumb-ass funny jokes and "hilarious" situations, do it with some style, otherwise don't do this at all. Just to help the watcher avoid akward, stupid and totally unrealistic pepole behaviors, who all just act like like sociopats, unable to build normal, dull and making sense conversation.

-"i didn't realize I had a bunch of girls on this trip."
Please man. It's actually sad, beacuse you desperately needed at least one girl ther. Beacuse it was a gay trip.

Generally it's very good, you need to continue your work. But please, next time, making an movie, consider what I have wrote here.
