"Cute. Very different from your other works."

submission: A&K Battle Rocks

date: January 8, 2007

Ah. Finally another Legendary Frog toon. It's great to see A&K back again. The chibi style works very well here with the whole theme and being a music video, it doesn't need voice overs. I also liked how you stuck a cameo of your avatar guy in there. The animation was very fluid, though a bit heavy on tweens. But the drawing was great... no real errors and done in a very cute and stylistic way. This was a nice song to make a video of, albeit a bit slow paced which made the cartoon seem to be a little less frantic than it could have been. Overall, this style works about just as well as your other one. This was a good movie, but I just wish you would release these at a bit of a faster pace.

Score: 4

"Not the greatest top down shooter."

submission: B.L.A.C.K. 2

date: January 6, 2007

The animation seemed pretty fluid although most of the rooms were empty and there wasn't that much scenery. What was there was drawn pretty well. The background music was decent for the kind of game it was and the different sfx for the guns were used in a good way. I would have liked it more if there was some splattering or blood when you shot the other guys though. The main thing that really brought the game down was the terrible AI's. There was no stealth involved at all. They would see you immediately and start shooting as soon as you were in their range so they got a distinct advantage over you. A little more movement on the enemies' part would have done well in this game too. There were many different guns to choose from, however most of them were pretty much the same. Also, even with different firing patterns, the structure of the enemies' AI made it so that the only real strategy was in shooting the enemy with the most damaging gun you have and hoping he won't kill you first. This was a decent attempt at creating a top down shooter game, but it suffered by poor gameplay. Next time, try making the AI a little more varied in its patterns and a little more objects to take cover behind.

Score: 9

"The third time is the charm."

submission: Zelda: UO Epis:3

date: January 5, 2007

After being mildly impressed with your past two animations, I am absolutely blown away with this. This is a huge improvement over the first two episodes, but mainly just because it is a decent length and pretty much begins the story. Having never seen a good Zelda fan movie/fiction before, I can safely say that this is the only time I have ever seen Link's voice done well. The Zelda/anime fusion worked extremely well and blended nicely with the backgrounds. The manga flashback sequences could further immerse you into the story and the transitions were done perfectly. The sound was absolutely nailed. All the songs were played with good timing and the sound effects were timed right. I should also add that you had a great crew of voice actors. The action was done pretty much perfectly except for a couple times when characters moved just a little too quickly without much actual animation to link their movements. Overall, you did a great job and I hope this turns into a long lasting series.

(Note: Humor is bonus points because this is mainly an action cartoon.)
