Reviews for "Fefnir - Pilot"

I am only giving this 4 stars purely because i see a LOT of potential in this. This way if there is room for more praise I can offer it as this series progresses.

As I said, this has a LOT of potential. You set the stage now weave the tale! I am curious to see how you unfold this story. it definitely has the classic feel of Heavy Metal. I cannot help but feel some classic Norse influences with bits of Japamation thrown in. While it SEEMS to come off Swords and Sorcery I can see an Epic Battle of Gods in this too.

Well, can't wait to see the next installment. Then again animation does not draw itself and it does take time so maybe patience here will be its own reward from the viewer's end.

Like a boss my friend, like a boss!

Thanks a lot UrMonsta :D yeah I completely agree with you, to be honest we're not 100% satisfied on how it ended, we wanted this episode to look better, but it was our first animation of this kind so we made a lot of mistakes, but learned a lot from it as well :) hopefully we will make this work this year :D

I'll be brief, because I could praise this things for days before listing my only point of complaint. The characters are quite originally drawn and clearly incorporate lots of fresh ideas and new designs. The world has a lot of themes that the viewer learns about yet is kept guessing to some aspects, and the art quality is high and the renditions are very varied in angles, use of perspective and so forth.

You want to present a new, fantasy-actiony cartoon world to us, and you hit that shit out of the ballpark and clear into space.

My only single point of complaint does emanate from the design of the weapons. Throwing knife was fine, but one hostile used a giant slab sword that has questionable blade design and an okay hilt, but no pummels or proper guards or sheaths or anything.

Further, the protagonist's sword was basically a super sized gladius, with not too much to note about its design. I feel this piece was heavily inspired by berserk in a few senses, and if not, the similarities are a funny coincidence.

I would look into adding a bit more depth and feature to the various tools of the series. While not terrible, per say, they are unfortunately placed against the excellent standard for the rest of the world's design, and at least to me that's why they stick out as in need of expansion or spiffing up.

I'm always hesitant to watch new stuff on the front page these days. This did not disappoint in the slightest. You have my attention, sir.

9/10, 4/5 ~WCCC

Thanks for your feedback :D now that you mention it, it does seem like berserk, funny thing, from all our team, I'm the only one who has seen the series and I did it like 4 months ago xD and this was done in 2013 so yeah, something I've learned is that we're not that unique, and that if we have an "unique idea" there's probably many others who have that idea in the world xD

Loved it!

Now this looks cool.
Hope to see more of this series soon.

FrameFreak2D responds:

Thanks a lot :D

You should add some sound when they throw attacks, they need to react more :)

FrameFreak2D responds:

Thanks a lot Hagen, definitely we are thinking in redoing it in the future with everything we have learned :)
