Reviews for "Sanctum Ep1"

If it's a battle between this and Kagemusha, I do hope you choose the latter! If it's not, I wouldn't mind following both of these. Seems like vague Star Wars inspiration to me, a little Gundam, a little random futurustic high-tech next level combat technology... good stuff!

I didn't write this one- so it's got a different feel I think, I might just go with GPS and Kagemusha since those are more writen out.

Kagemusha has a bout 6 chapters worth of material and Galaxy police squad also too

Again! Wonderful work!
Always happy to see new stuff!

cool

Damn! Lenti's the bomb! So slick, smoother than a drink when you're already drunk. Gotta learn a thing or two from her.

Anyway you did amazing here. The fight scenes were solid and promising for the future, you do good with that futuristic sci-fi babbletech I usually stay away from, and the main character's attitude, for me, makes a really compelling story, but I'm a huge Cowboy Bebop fanboy so naturally that kind of devil-may-care stuff in space turns me right on.

I'd definitely love to see more of this, and I think it goes really well to a trifecta of amazing genres to push all at once, scifi free roam adventure, police nonsense with some more comedic fun, and the dark and serious Ashikaga. Hell, throw western in there (I think you did a long time ago, Phase 9 was it?) and you've got me hooked for life. Reckon there can't be a person who doesn't like at least one of the series unless they just don't like you. And if they don't like you, fuck them because you're rad.

Still, don't push yourself too hard and be afraid of doing shorts. I don't know much about animation but I'd hate for you to overpressure yourself on a bunch of series, I understand they can be stressful. Just remember that most folks are watching it for free and the few who actually are shelling out are seldom the ones pressuring you. Keep your own pace, I don't want you burnt out because I sure as hell want more of all this.

Thank you.

I thought it was pretty great. Editing, sound, music, were all on par with what I would consider enjoyable levels of quality. What made the experience sour a bit was the animation. It wasnt the planning behind the animation, because quite honestly, a great many things about it were great ( ex: the scene where the camera flips as she cuts the seekers ). It was more the execution. At many points it seemed movements were forced, resulting in a lack of fluidity, which really is very distracting. Lighting was also a problem, not a big one, but in the scene where the mech ( for lack of a better term ) was in space, highlighted both this issue in particular, and the aforementioned animation one ( in which I also grouped camera animation, as it is still indeed animation ).

Overall though, the episode was pretty solid. The ending did it for me though, music, and the screen shake, and the whole shebang.

Really gives you a sit back in your seat " Woah" kind of feel, one that seems many, including myself, enjoy; don't lose that.

Kel-chan responds:

yeah- I made this prior to getting the other mocap camera- so some motions are good and some are a bit off. I figured out how to make it smoother since I made this so future installments should be a little better
