[TricksterStory Battle Shorts #1 - Random Animations]

i liked those old video game sound effects.
Good video quality, interesting characters.
This had a lot of personality and a good story.

I'm curious to see what happens next episode.

Trickster511 responds:

Thanks so much! I'll make sure to make more and continue the story

[Stripper surprise!]

The character designs are ok, but they work well with the overall mood of the short.
The story was good.

The lipsync was good but not great.
Not bad:)

Cynicaldoodles responds:

Thanks for the feedback!

[Cuddle Bunny]

This was good.
The close up of the teddy bear was well done.

DoodleCake responds:

thank u hahaha

[Foofie]

The animation, characters, audio, and backgrounds were really good.

The story ruined it for me
I don't like fart jokes,
I stopped thinking farts were funny when I was about 5 years old.

What i don't get is towards the end when the monkey is worried about foofie when hes freezing to death in the snow while foofie is on the train keeping warm.

Foofie literally chased him off the train with his farts, and the monkey is worrying about him.
It doesn't make any sense at all.

Foofie is a menace to monkeys everywhere and he should be put to sleep or his butt stiched shut (so he'll implode from all that gas inside him).

Ant0on responds:

Lol Well, I think there's a bit of misunderstanding :) You see, the monkey was actually worried about the consequences after the supposed death of Foofie. The rest of his life could end in the slammers if he is declared guilty of murder.

Also, I hate to spoil, but Foofie just wanted to make someone warm. haha though I love the description you gave to Foofie :D I guess his motives could be seen as menacing for most of the film :)

[CosmicChrisTV Channel Trailer]

I like it. It has a lot of personality.
Really good voice acting.

There were times when her mouth wouldn't move with her face.
The arm animations need a little more work.

But I like it, I enjoyed this:)

StaticSkull responds:

Thanks :)

[Skarlet Speedpaint]

Shading is ok and the highlights should be more refined and look more subtle.
The highlights and shading should be gradual and blend into each other.

I know your characters aren't suppose to be realistic and your going for that "anime, cartoon" look,
but you still need to work on your digital drawing skills.

StaticSkull responds:

ok thanks

[Blood Opera: Father of Flies]

Animation was good.
A creepy and interesting story.
Though, I didn't like how it ended with a cliffhanger.

I wished the characters and backgrounds had more depth.
It would look better if the line quality on the characters and backgrounds were thinner.

Overall, it was interesting to watch.

RamLama responds:

Thanks for the input! I'll take your advice on line quality and depth into consideration.

I've started roughing out the follow-up video. If I'm able to pull it off, it should give a little more context. I'm not 100% confident since I'm new to animation, but I'm looking forward to trying.

[The Rogue Charizard]

This was a good pokemon and attack on titan cross-over.
The charizard was creepy looking and matched Eren Jaeger's titan form but in a pokemon version.
I aslo noticed that you added the eyes and facial expressions of the titans in the anime to the pokemon.
Kudos to you for doing that.
The animation and character designs were good.

The japanese audio from attack on titan wasn't that clear or of the best quality.
The colors seemed bland and not at a high enough resolution.
It also would have been better if it was at least a minute or two longer.
It seemed very short to me

This was an interesting and original idea.

Zalfurius responds:

I used a lot of colours with low saturation to try and match the overall tone of attack on titan. I'll try and think more about the use of colours next time. About the resolution, I'll see if I can upload a clearer version. Thanks for the review dude!
