The animation had nice flow but besides that the story and how it progress seemed rather boring, even in scenes where it seemed like it was getting crazy it still just seemed dull, didn't feel to much for the characters either, so nothing bad about it but I just couldn't get invested in anything that was going on.
Reviews for "Suntria and Sprout - Episode 1"
Ant0on responds:
Thanks for watching! I guess pretty much everything is subjective, so of course this type of cartoon is not for everyone. If you want more fast-paced action, check out my Mr.Sneaks episode 2 or the music video, maybe that will appeal more :)
Suntria and Sprout's big eyes and simple color schemes make them decently expressive and fit with the tone of the first half of the episode, but not with the violence later on. It's kind of like seeing a baby bunny maul someone to death; it can't be anything but comedic.
Also, the overabundance of the sound effects detract from the experience, giving every little motion a wacky noise even when the characters are in mortal danger. Everything's emphasized, so nothing is.
Still, it does tell a complete story and has decent animation. Plus it keept my attention until the end, so it's not bad, just awkward.
Please continue to make these shorts. I'm sure a lot of people would love to see where this goes.

Thank you for taking your time to watch! I can see where you are coming from when you say the violence doesnt fit with the cuteness, but I think that is something that the media has made us believe. We are forced to expect that everything cute looking is supposed to be innocent, so I wanted to break away from this standard. I wanted to experiment how danger and fear can be experienced in any setting.
About the SFX, its true they are often cartoony, but I think they dont ruin the theme, as most scenes are meant to be playful, in a dark sense. For the next cartoon we may change the approach though.
Again, thanks for watching/review, and maybe you might enjoy the other episodes!
Honestly, I was on board with this until I saw the end of the promo. Had some extremely weird licking stuff being done to Suntria that she clearly didn't like. For something rated T, it was really uncalled for and threw me off. A bit disappointing, really.

Umm so what does it have to do with this episode again? The trailer isnt even in the NG version...
