Beautiful way to go out with the series man. GOD, I'm inspired. You are genius.

BTW, the ending with the trikes into the sunset reminded me of the end of the Home Movies episode, "The Party". Meh? Meh??

"Spectacular aesthetics!!!"

submission: CW: Down to earth Pt1

First off, I have to tell you that your superb animation, beautiful backgrounds, and the overall care, craftsmanship and detail that went into the general art style of this project is simply astounding. Literally, I can't comprehend how you did this, much less in less than two months with illness, computer problems and bad luck all fighting against you. This completely raises my expectations for what level of brilliance is possible for one animator/artist to archive. The bar has been raised so high, it's almost touching the moon. Your skill is, in a word, unbelievable.

But I must admit, that's about where my undying love for this short ended. I was excited when I saw the first couple of shots and marveled at how beautiful and engaging they were. I willed myself to be captured by the story, but by about three and a half minutes into it, I just didn't care. I want to be brutally honest with you because I feel so highly about the visual aspect of your work here, that I feel you deserve to know what I felt about the rest of it. The characters seemed about as cliche as an anime-space adventure can get, and the dialogue seemed like it was poorly translated from Japanese (I'm guessing that the script was written in English, but I may be totally wrong here). The overall plot though seemed vaguely interesting, albeit nothing new or captivating. For the most part, all I got out of this was absolutely BRILLIANT, GORGEOUS, MIND-BOGGLING animation presenting a story that I just couldn't care less about.

I will say however, that storytelling and the appreciation that there of is something COMPLETELY subjective and relies on the taste of the viewer. What I'm saying is that this story was totally not my taste, but I am also totally wrong. As a quasi-anime, action filled space oddesy you did a brilliant job. And tons upon tons of people will become enthralled by this story (for good reason!). So phooey on me. And just to make it clear, your storyTELLING was fantastic. Pacing, framing, mood and direction was great. It's that actual story and dialogue that had me cringing.

Anyway, I just wanted to let you know how I felt, because I was so impressed by your animation and storytelling skill. I'd just like to see something a bit more fresh and original (what do those words even mean though???) in the writing department. I totally have great respect for you, your drive and your work. So overall, well done. VERY well done. Take care man!

I dunno what people are talking about. This was fantastic. I loved the character design and the portrayal of our favorite dying mascot. I actually laughed when Saunich said, "I gotta go fast."

Well done. Humor isn't based on fast cuts and cock jokes. This was good.
