[Power Star 2]

After binging the series, I can confidently say this is the best one. The story is present without getting in the way, but that's not the important part.

I don't have enough good to say about the action. I can see the inspiration from The Matrix in the superhuman martial arts and I love it!

(The audio on this upload is out of sync. It's the only one of the series that has that problem and that is unfortunate)

D-SuN responds:

Yeah I have to agree that this one is probably the best overall.

[Power Star]

Going through the whole series because I'm feeling nostalgic.

There are a lot of great moments here, but there are also some awkward moments and pauses. Luigi also gets built up as the big boss and then gets totally bowled over. It's a great start, with room to grow.

[Power Star Reanimated (Pt 1)]

It's pretty good! Just that the sudden shifts to non-sprite sections and back are jarring, even if they are well done.

AnonymousFrogClock responds:

That can be attributed to Etoonz and I doing our parts using regular 2D animation as opposed to sprites. I hope Part 2 will contain a better sprite to non-sprite ratio

That is a oddly sexy voice there. Peach sounds pretty good too, I guess.

[Peppino's BIG BURN Pizza tower animation]

Damn I knew business was rough, but he can't even afford mitts?

[Amara casting a spell]

It's short, but the art and sound are absolutely on point!

[The Tale Teller]

Wow

[Tales from Scorchwater Valley - The Rhino and the Redbill (Animated Pilot)]

This brought me right back to the 90s Disney movies I grew up with. The story and animation is on that same level of quality. Just astounding.

With that said, since this is a pitch for a full animated series, I'm gonna be harsher than usual. The story and animation are indeed 90s Disney-tier. The problem is the audio balancing, making sure that all voices are clear and the SFX doesn't overpower everything else all the time.

Still, even though there is still room for improvement, what you guys made here is incredible! Hope the project is going well!

[Link VS Stalfos]

It's short, but so clean!

[Link VS Geldman]

Have these two ever heard of the definition of insanity?
