[Adrellia Village #7]

This was a nice lengthy piece albeit it was mostly the narrator telling what happened a long time ago in the Medrellia secret dungeon and who all had died there.

The voice acting was good although it seems pretty small in this episode with just three people going at it. The music was nice and recognized the songs from Kingdom Hearts and Legend of Dragoon, both of which were quite fun games to play when I was younger and I haven't played them in awhile.

The animation here was good and it kind of was sad in the middle since it was mostly just frames with little to no movement until the narrator got done speaking. The scenery scene as Drake went to the castle was nice too, seemed to give a moment of relaxing while quickly rushing there. Funniest part was near the intro where he just felt he was going in circles which he was.

Overall, very nice and long episode. Only issue is mispronunciation of talisman.

[Strawberry's Break #1]

Well I liked the way this one turned out. However I do have one thing to note, sicne the redesign the cookie cutter accounts seem to be off the top 10 contributors which is great. I think this does have some truth to it though since before the redesign cookie cutter accounts had taken over the top 10 and it felt kind of demotivating since instead of showing users and groups who had taken ages to get up there, the cookie cutters had only taken a year or two to get up there in no time at all. It was a very sad time indeed.

The voices were speakonia as usual so nothing new there at all. The songs used were good and having Rush being added was great too. Seems fitting for exploring the world at the same time.

The story seemed to be that Strawberry Clock became sad over not having himself or friends in the top 10 anymore due to cookie cutters flooding the portal over the year and decided to go on an adventure for the time being to give himself a little break. Looking forward to seeing what part two has to show.

Overall, this seemed very well done so nice work.

[Adrellia Village #5]

Something that seems to be a problem here is the voice acting, not necessarily as in the voice acting is bad but the microphones when speaking seem to produce static to much later into this one. Could probably try to buy a filter (usually cost around $10) and put it in front of the mic to cut out the static and some popping noises usually heard when speaking a little too close to the mic.

The animation is the same too but there is no problem there. Except maybe when it shows Drake sleeping since it didn't zoom into his face clearly and moved a bit right and kept zooming in then zooming out. If it says he is having a weird dream, then why not give a thought bubble to show what it might be about so it will not seem as pointless to the viewer.

The story seems to be progressing in a decent manner since Drake is helping that older guy out to take care of some problems around the castle so that he can get ready to learn spells and the such later. Not too bad for some progress.

Overall, the static produced by the microphone later in when Brutus spoke seemed to be pretty annoying on the ears so possibly get that fixed for later episodes would be great.

It's not the microphone, it's Flash but thanks.

Actually, the scene at Brutus' station WAS his dream.

Thanks for your review.

[Adrellia Village #18]

Same

Well it felt close to the same except for the out takes and the Jack Black power sliding in yet not being the wizard teacher. Interesting events.

I found the voice acting good and funny how the guy had a little trouble pronouncing that one word too. Songs used were also good.

The animation looked nice here.

Overall, same as before but still humorous.

Thanks. Appreciate your review.

[Adrellia Village #8]

Seemingly getting there

Well at least they are making process and getting towards Adrellia Village anyways. Nice how to previous part shows them preparing and this episode is just a little chatter, music, and then going on their way to the place they must go and check on.

The animation seems to remain the same as usual which is perfectly fine. Only problem I have is credits at the end. Instead of skipping back to the start have it stop there and let the music play while the viewer sees who all helped make this and where the music came from.

The music and voice acting was nice so good work there. Only recommendation is moving away from the mic a bit so you won't hear the popping sounds every time you hear the letter p.

Overall, nice and short.

Yep, this episode is a little "break episode" as I like to call it. No epic battles to be found here. Interesting input on the credits. I'll tell my voice actors since I don't voice the characters. Thanks.

Jackets

I wonder why the jacket suddenly vanished when he put it on. I guess he was just really happy to see it snowing and went outside to dance in it. Then he nearly gets run over but dies by some letting a snow plow run over him instead ending his day rather early. Then he had to wait at the gates of heaven as they were on break for the day. Weird yet funny.

The animation here looked pretty nice and the most detailed part was his family seeing presents. The rest of the time we see Jack goofing off and then dying shortly after going outside. Guess it was a much better idea had he stayed inside instead of running out into the snow.

The audio here gives a feel like he was all wound up on sugar and just feeling real good upon going outside to play in the wintery snow.

Overall, strange, short, and funny.

[B-Lated ClockDay Post-It]

Mixed bag of things

Well this felt like a really mixed bag kind of animation as it was mostly stop motion animating except for one part where changes to being a computer work for one frame of that segment. Only bad thing here is the preloader since it loops for some reason even though it shouldn't.

The animating was nice seeing as everything here was drawn on paper and then scanned or photographed and imported into flash so they could be used in animating.

The various sound effects and songs were all rather great and pretty enjoyable to listen to. Like how for combustion or just beating something up there was a little sound being played to make it seem more lively to the viewer.

Overall, entertaining bunch of three to five second clips.

Thanks I'm glad you could enjoy what the best I could do here, instead of unappreciative comments.
