I was surprised to really like this. Good humor and timing; the only place for improvement I see is in the puppet animation itself. Good job!

It's a really neat style. I love that everything is made up of lines, no fill, and the animation still manages to flow well.
Sometimes the title cards felt a little on the nose about what was going on or but even then there were a just a bit too frequent for my taste.

I'm glad you like the style, and I'll try to work on pacing and story for future animations. Thanks!

The audio gets louder and softer without warning, some of it is hard to understand, but I should also point out this doesn't need to be rated M for mature. Nothing here seems like it would belong in the M category. I suggest checking out other content on the site to get a better idea of where your video belongs.

The story isn't great which stinks because that's the main focus here.
The visuals are... there. It's just the same stick figures with moving mouths.
It's definitely not blam worthy, but it isn't very good.

This is a style I am persuing for random animations that I want to pump out quickly. I don't know if you've personally tried to animate anything, but animating is actually a long and drawn out process that can take weeks, months or years and since I only do this for fun in my free time, sometimes I prefer to sacrifice quality for quantity.

This isn't very good at all, but I am concerned whether or not this was stolen because of the watermarking.

Hello BrandyBuizel

The watermarking is because I had used the Swf to Mp4 converter Trail Version of that link...

Thanks for your comment.

It's actually a very well made fan animation. A lot of attention to voices, especially love Chad's

Just a lot of the same walking animation with some objects being added after a while.
There isn't much to this work, but I can see what you were going for with what I assume is an analogy for RPG progression. It's a pretty interesting sudden revelation you get towards the end, but overall it is very plain.

Review Score of 2.5, but a rating of 3 from me.
I hope to see more stuff like this with hopefully a little more detail.

You obviously have a clear direction you want this series to take by the writing style and video effects, but I gotta say for this "prologue" you didn't do a good job setting the stage for anything. I have absolutely no idea what this is supposed to be about.

Also there's some conflicting dialogue that makes it more confusing:
"A demon entered the village"
...later...
"Did you say it was machines in the village?"
"Yeas, why?"
That doesn't make sense.

And also:
"Take the pups to an orphanage"
...
"Just do as I said"
...
"Just take the pups to the school"
There wasn't really a visible shift where the (what I assume is a protagonist) changed it's mind between these lines so I assume it might be a discontinuity?

So yea, in summary, looks like a lot of care was put into making an upcoming series, but from this prologue/teaser alone I have no idea what it's about(after watching several times to be sure).

I make stuff; sometimes for money, but always for fun.
