Smile was good.
I really liked Ryuekaki no Hanashi and Ohimesama to Mugen no Sekai. Both I thought were done really well.
Odayaka ni Aggressive had some of the greatest animation scenes I've seen in a while. Ryuekaki no Hanashi was prettier though. Buhhh the only one I didn't really like was 'smile' :(.
Bishoku was probably the best, although Ryuekaki was beautiful. Odayaka reminded me of Bakune Young.
def "Ryuekaki no Hanashi" (a tale of the dragon artist) i like the most
Video 2 and 5 O_o
i liked the first one really well made, i also liked the 3rd but i only understood little bits of it
for being low budget, and new creators, some of these look really promising!!
I REALLY LOVE THE 1ST ONE
Out of the 4 shorts, I think (tho it wasn't my fav) the last was the best. And when I say that I mean animation wise. The very last bit was really well done, and I appreciate the fact that it was traditional, leaving the sketchy lines and pencil grain to remind the viewer it was handmade. I thought the others were ok, but most seemed choppy and all about the look/color rather than technique. But props for getting them done.
They all have their appeal, as they're all quite different, but in terms of overall quality "Ryuekaki no Hanashi" is the best. I liked all of them at varying degrees though. I thought I wouldn't like "Odayaka ni Aggressive" at all, but it ended up being very interesting and had some good animation effects.
The first one was AMAZING. Second one was good. Third one was alright. Fourth one was pretty good. Fifth one was fucking annoying and I couldn't watch the whole thing.
