[Steve-It or Leave It - Ep.5 - Beach Episode]

this was full of really good gags. Each episode is better than the last in terms of scale and humor.
However, I think the robot VA really does a disservice. It works for Steve-it and his wife and Suave Roberto because that's part of the gag, but the lack of an actual Voice and inflection on especially the mad husband and the underbeach people really drained away the absolute hilarity of their designs, mannerisms, and writing.
Otherwise great episode, when I see a Steve-it in my feed, it's an instant-click

Cruddyhands responds:

Appreciate the feedback! I see what you mean, and I've definitely been toying around with how and when to deviate from the TTS voices behind the scenes. Glad you enjoyed, and thanks for sticking around!

[Lopunny Appears!]

Really didn't need the camera shake, the movement otherwise has good appeal.

ProtagonArt responds:

I uploaded a version without the camera shake

[Steve-It or Leave It - Ep4- Therapy]

The quality of this is amazing, I love Steve-it or Leave it and I get excited every time I see one, but I think you should throw in some sound effects and stuff. Funny episode though!

Cruddyhands responds:

Thank you! And you're absolutely right about the sfx

[Lost & Sound]

SUPER cute!!!

GusM-NG responds:

Thank you!

[Fingernail (short)]

I wonder what framerate this was animated in, since that can affect the things I noticed: mainly that the smears seem to last a bit too long, and the lip sync is subtly off (just enough to be noticeable)
Other than that of course your character art is stellar, the poses are great and I can see what you were going for anyway!

PonehAnon responds:

Thank you for the feedback! I animated it in CSP at 24fps, sometimes it's hard to work with audio cos it desyncs a bit. Definitely still figuring out timing with the smears and I'm glad you liked it!

[deltarune ch1 oversimplified]

This is super funny and has really great potential, but the long waits ruin some of the pacing.
The most significant problem is that there's not enough sound effects, the jokes don't have a lot of punch. In the 'something about' series, for instance, there's a whole lot of sound effects and loud noises (perhaps way too many).
I know it sounds like I'm saying 'add more screams' but yeah there's just a severe lack of noise and impact when it comes to the gags (like the characters talking without making any noise, impacts coming without sound, ralsei vomiting but with no noise to back it up), that kind of thing. Look at Deltarune itself, it adds explosions and all sorts of noises to add to the punchlines of its jokes.
The art style is really funny, some gags got me, it's a super strong foundation and I hope when you do Chapter 2 you'll put more into sound design to really make the jokes stand out and hit harder. Great work here though.

sans50skelebro responds:

thank you for your criticism! the thing is, i know. i just wanted to stretch this to 4 minutes and i'm just too lazy to actually animate every second of it so i just do a 4 second pause here and there. but don't worry! i promise i won't do it again in later animations!

[Peter Peecha plays amogus]

If the peter voice was more accurate it would've made the bit funnier, I think.

Ant responds:

It’s Peter Peecha what are you talking abt?

[DMX Meets David Bowie]

Okay, ignoring the animation, which is unique in a perfect way, a style that I absolutely adore and wish I could see more of ANYWHERE
And, ignoring the sentence mixing and the story, which is done in such a way to be humorous (not laughing till I cry funny, though none of your work is trying for that kind of humor, I feel) and is a nice cute romp
And, of course, ignoring the production quality and the quickness since your last massive work, which is incredible in it's own right.
WHEN are we gonna get a full version of that ending song?

Aaron-Long responds:

it's on my soundcloud!
