Reviews for "The Legend Of Lucky Pie Episode 2 "The Zodiac Maze" (With English Subtitles)"

Thank you for understanding!
Great work on this with some funny moments and well done visual gags as well. Good voice acting and character designs and some very nice background work.
This is a great little story inspired by a fantastic show. Keep up the good work guys!
A Chinese variation on Adventure Time.
The animation is very good. A professional level, equivalent to the Adventure Time look. There are some cheaper tricks, like just sliding the character around, but it is passable and can be fun. The characters and world are rip-offs though, a boy(?) and his anthropomorphized brother go looking for adventure and treasure.
Nothing wrong with that, in all honesty and the Chinese spin on things keep it fresh overall.
But some of the motions that they do are a bit off, even for a cartoon. A bit too out of the ordinary.
The voice acting is okay. Not being able to understand their speech without the subtitles, I cannot say anything about their enunciation, but their choices for the voices are good.
The sound design is average, nothing to sneer at, and nothing to cheer over. However, the musical choices are a bit of a miss. Some of the scenes would have played out better without music put to them, and some of the music they chose, just didn't work out. And some of the actions lacked sound, making me focus on the classical music, which kinda worked but also didn't.
The humor is a bit more universal. Sticking to things like slapstick and bad luck comedy, so you don't miss much in the translation. But then again, it isn't very funny.
A decent watch.

That's pretty useful comment for us, thank you!
It's rather unfair saying that you're a copy or ripoff of another show. Through some parallels in that it has a similar archetypes of characters and being in a fantasy based setting.That inexperienced viewer would make the crass comparison. Which is silly because then most sitcom or drama shows would be ripoffs of previous shows. However the animation is in a simple style but diverse appearance with art direction combined with musical choice give it an unique feeling unlike what I would normally see.
Nonetheless, I'm impressed by the length and quality. Interested what you might do in future, even through the story or characters didn't grab my interest. There is potential in this adventure fantasy of week. Best of luck with your future endeavors.
