Sorry, couldn't make it to the end. The art is amazing, though! Love Imaishi-esk distorted shots! Gorgeous!
Reviews for "Boxcar City RUSH; THE SHORT FILM"
The voice acting's really rough, but I love the look, the frenetic style, and fun characters and concept of this. If you did revisit it someday with new actors, I'd love to see it.
I know it's old and already embarrassing, so I don't know how good feedback is, but there's something about it I think worth noting:
It doesn't feel snappy enough. Your art style is super great at energy in its poses, and having loads of dynamic angles, but things in the actual motion of the animation here don't feel as fast as they should. For something dynamic and cartoony, stuff feels a bit sluggish at points. This is crying out for a pace like a whip, that cracks and zips through it's motion as fast as the art seems to want to. Instead, it feels like it drags sometimes. My theory is that it has to do with the editing, which has to build itself around the pace of the voice acting, which isn't delivered quite as well as it could be. That delivery effects the editing, which effects the pace.
That said, two years is a lot of time creatively, so it feels silly to provide feedback in this vein. Hopefully it's still useful though. I really love your art though, and was thrilled when I saw this pop up in the portal!

Thanks for the input, stuff I'm already considering for new projectz!
It's somewhat good. Although you need a better mic.
