[Girlchan in Paradise Ep1]

I've seen this stuff a few times... like over 9000

This was not so much written as distilled from the tears of anime fans. Now I never have to watch an episode of any Shonen Jump-based show again. Thanks!

[Saturday Morning Watchmen]

Wasn't this on opposite Bravestarr?

A brilliant piece of work! Completely evocative of the period in the combination of then-prominent styles, and in level of corruption from the source material to make the cartoon version.

Props to you for even remembering the mention of this in the comic. No wonder Veidt pulled the plug on it.

[Mouthsinging: AS]

It's synched!

This is one of the most amusing test animations I've ever seen. Any one of the segments would have been worth a pass, but taken together they verge on awesomeness. A great job! I look forward to seeing more!

[Random Snowflakes]

Could be much better

They don't really fall like snow, which would have a generally uniform and downward direction. Too much moves sideways and up, randomly against the movement you would want. Also, too much spinning of the elements -- they should spin much more slowly if at all.

You have the random down, but you really need more uniformity in the elements. A good first try, but needs much refinement to make me think "snow".

[The Greatest Idea Ever!]

Great flash, or the greatest flash?

A particularly awesome job on the lip-synch this time around -- it was really painstaking! Hilarious dialog and nicely chosen music, good color, and great animation throughout. And, after seeing several of your cartoons, I can only think that hell's getting pretty full at this point. Your work is very entertaining!

[Good Time Merry Boys 5]

Very interesting

The childish, ugly art style belied a delicately-tuned, well-scored and excellently directed tale of friendship, love an loss. I'm glad I stuck it through 'til the end! This is a very finely crafted piece of work indeed.

[Basso Profundo]

Profound -- and bizarre

Your story of a great gift, unearned and thus misused, is both hilarious and unsettling -- a musical editorial cartoon that both delights and disturbs. A unique and entertaining work that I thoroughly enjoyed!

[The Last Hour: Chapter 1]

There's really nothing here.

It's just some techno music and a shot of a spaceship moving. Exposition is not the same as story -- story is something we actually see happening. The Antichrist? Aliens? An unholy alliance? Humans? Earth? I didn't see any of those things, and they're apparently what your story is supposed to be about.

You'll get a better rating when you actually show some of the cool things you just put up text about. Any of them.

Jaiba responds:

Well the plot is just starting to develop.
