If I'm gonna be totally honest, usually experimental/abstract animation isn't my cup of tea. Mostly because whatever messages or themes they end up portraying end up being masked by wild visuals for their own sake, with no real substance behind them at face value, and at the end of the day I feel like I'm watching a movie about nothing.

This is not one of those times.

Despite the vagueness of everything that was going on, I found myself completely understanding all aspects of the segments pretty well; I was intrigued, I was entertained (BIG plus there), I was excited to see what was coming next, and at the same time I was never quite sure of what WAS to come next. This kind of stuff already looks like it's one-of-a-kind, double so given the whole anthology approach you went for with different portions being made by different artists. And through all of that, despite the underlying consistencies between your works, you're never quite sure what to expect with the next film. It doesn't come across as if it's going to be formulaic or predictable. And I admire that.

Thanks for the fun watch, it was well worth it and you earned yourself an extra follower for your troubles. Keep being awesome, guys; in this day and age with animation being such a fickle thing on the Internet, it's great that you're keeping up that streak. :)

Thank you so much, really appreciate the great review! I've been told by other people as well that having those underlying messages is important in animation like these so that's definitely something we'll keep in Mind.
Really apreciate the support, thanks again. :)

Solid work here; the visuals and atmosphere work, fights were well-done and the character designs are good too. If there's one thing I'd want to comment on it's the fact that your story's execution *is* rather formulaic. The "save the princess" plot is something you've already admitted is a tired one, as is the "heroes band together to save the day" thing, and I think it could have been more worth your while to try and subvert expectations more than with just the ending. Maybe more jokes, maybe emphasize the fact that Eric's kind of useless at first so why would the archer want to join him unless she had something to gain, make the process of reaching the tower more over-the-top silly before the epic final battle, but at the same time maybe this wasn't your intention. Maybe you'd rather play it more straight, and I don't blame you if you did. As is, it was still a fun watch, and worth a follow for sure.

This just shows you went a long way since Episode 1. This was amazing. Not only does it have its dramatic moments, but it also has a good share of laughs; there was a perfect balance between the two, and I'm glad you found good middle ground in that regard. Finally, it ties a few loose ends and always manages to leave a smile on my face, which, unless forced, is VERY hard to do. You did a fantastic job, and I wish you the best of luck with the rest of the series. Great work.

This is the place to go for the random escapades of Jake, Dave, Andy and Nick!
