Nice.
Reviews for "210 BC: Qin Shi Huang"
a little short - but I liked the cleanliness of the art and the voicework. if you're trying for historical fun, I'd recommend the story of Wu Zetian, the 1st Chinese empress.
Amusing, but there are a handful of issues. While I like the art style and the grainy textures that make it look a little less cartoony, I don't like that the hands are mirror images of each other - it makes it harder to see what he's actually eating. If one hand were turned palm-up it would be a little easier to see/understand the point of the animation. The guy's death is also a bit too abrupt, which in this particular instance takes away from the humor. Even some dead silence after he croaks might have helped make it funnier.
Voice acting is funny. This also reminds me a lot of Last Piece of Cake.

Variation between the hands would have been a nice touch now that you mention it... I get so intimidated with doing hands. The death was a tough one because normally I'm big on drawn out and gory deaths but this time around I just decided to make it stupid quick. I couldn't decide if putting more work into it would pay off or not but I do wish it was funnier... The whole art style I went with is one I never really associate with "funny" either so that gave me a lot of doubt throughout.
I don't know why, but I laughed so hard at this!
Why the hell is the watermarket text on the background made out of a bunch of Japanese hiraganas? XD.
