I don't like slideshows much. Tom says quite clearly that NG is a place for animation, not slideshows. I am not into anime much (in fact, since this is not animated its manga anyway, isn't it?) and I didn't like the music all that much either. Worst of all perhaps is that its just a collection of other people's work snatched from other sources without any accompanying information that makes any more out of it :(
However, in the midst of it were just a couple of other random pix of funny cats, which I have a weakness for, and showed that kind of RANDOM sense of humour and thought we like here!

but not that much to my taste. Its an interesting animation and art project, to a point, but its quite hard to follow and it has no real story, nor any personality.

its mildly funny and it has a sort of story. I liked the "Not a nuke- Nacho's.
...and yes, some poeple do read all the way to the end, since you asked.

Well expressed in animation and art.
If that accent is fake its damn good- and I am British. Weird how it parallels Shrek- maybe they somehow got their ideas from YOU- ever thought of that?

It has some good art and some very good art and OK sounds/music. The story line is good enough, tho the dialogue isn't great.
However the format with the hands and feet like that is irritating and some of the sounds are a bit basic/crude, tho all are clear enough.
The speaking method- subtitles with buttons- is very basic, tho at least its all clearly written and generally spelt well.

Of course I love watching my own basic idea appear (and get praise) but I like all the things that you have done to it- the voices,the story twist, the details:
The mouse, the rolling eyes
"...Horrible vision of the future..." ha ha ha!
The familiar pictures on the wall
I like the blue sky background in the egg catapult scene. It made much more sense- I was vaguely unhappy about it before, but couldn't put it into words.
Now its really good. If you can always make at least this standard for any stories of mine you use, you can do as many as you like!
All that remains is to make the movement more fluid generally and we are really on the way.

Its not racist at all. Only people who too conscious of race would think it was. nothing about the story suggests that the race was lost or won BECAUSE of the race of the characters.
What makes the black person "african american" anyway?
Its cool. Its entertaining. I like the 3d effects.

Its a nice idea and it could be good and fun, but it is so scrappy and lazy. You do some OK lip sync, which is one of the harder things to do, but then you miss some cool bits out. When the voice goes high you could do the mouth rise up high and small on the face and it would look so cool. instead you got lazy and missed it out. You know its a good song and you know you can do better. Please consider improving it. Imagine animating the trumpet moving like it is playing with notes coming out and maybe stretching in the long notes. This fun lively song has so much potential. I would drop the scribbled Mario and put in proper credits too.

In fact , for a first time its got quite a bit of potential.
the art was good enough and the style was OK.
However, not much gets through without sound, the animation was adequate but not inspiring and the whole thing makes not much sense if one has not heard of the show.
I would support this if it at least had sound. If you need help PM me. You have potential.

Yea, sound does indeed make it have more quality. But thank you for advice ^^

Very good! I am not crazily into FBF swirly things, but this is the best of its kind I have ever seen, so YES.
I was so impressed with the sentiment and the trouble you had gone to that I confess to feeling a momentary pang of irrational jealousy toward the lucky boyfriend!
Its that good.
I will send this to my favourite girl now!
Its all good. timing art, sound quality, everything
I trust you got the biggest hugs on Earth for this. If not chuck him, we love you!
