[the Apple Situation 2]

Wow...

I'm eagerly surprised and shocked to say that I like this. I never watched the first Apple Situation, but I don't seem to have suffered for not watching it, since I'm all brought up to speed, which is good in my opinion. :)

For some reason unbeknowst to me, I thoguht this was funny, probably the expressions of satan and it's randomness. xD

Only gripes were the voice acting at very specific parts, and the detail. Not that there's anything wrong with a lack of detail, as long as the acting and the dialouge are up to par. It's just better to look at submissions with moar detail. At least the animation was pretty good in my opinion.

Good luck on the sequel!! :D

SirReginald responds:

I hate my voice as well, don't think you're alone.
I was afraid this would be confusing to those who haven't seen the original, I'm glad to hear it wasn't!
Thanks for the review!

[|~Snow Snow For Lucy~|]

I'm awe-shocked.

Honestly, this was a submission of epic porportions. Not because it had some awesome choreographed stick-fighting sequences, or because it submitted to Madness, or because it made any sort of common referances that we all that are familiar with on the internet.

This submission is epic because it is true to it's own, in truly every respect.

The entire submission proved to be quite long, as when I selected this, I wasn't even close ot expecting something to be like a DVD movie lol. I must say though that this submission at first appeared to be bizzare due to really all of circumstances and the characters, especially listening to Pink Floyd in the background.

Despite that though, it really played into the submission well. I would never have thought of a protagonist with missing arms, honestly. I also would not have been able to make her fit into a story so well either.

The athstetics are much resemblent to modern anime, but with some obscurity due to the lowered quality, obviously so, in order to submit something like this, something had to give, which is very easy to look past after being absorbed into the story.

Speaking of the story, it really is quite an interesting, involving and overall quaint story, but really studded with sorts of morals, the setting being quite minimal, but not to the disadvantage of the submission.

Overall, this is definately suitable for Christmas, sharing all sorts of messages, conveying a multitude of emotions, I love this submission.

SpikeVallentine responds:

Thank you for your appreciation. This project aint stunning or anything. But yeah, the only thing I dig is the morals. that's it yo. heheheh

Thank you for your time ! <3

[Quick gunfight sequence.]

Lookie here.

Fairly well animated, and the camera work is good specifically for this sort of gun-fight flash.

But... it's just so short though...
And It doesn't give the option to pause it, it only loops, work on that >_>
And the first stick figure seems to be holding some sort of nerf gun...

If this was redone for length, it'd be worth looking into.

TheBennage responds:

Thanks, next time I don't think i'll be posting a short animation on here then :P

And yeah he's holding a bolt pistol from warhammer, I was too lazy to draw a gun myself xD
