[1 Punch Stick - Episode 3]

Heh, badass intro coming soon too? :P And heeey, that paper brings with it great hopes and revelations! Awesome. Also a pretty solid script, the one pun nicely presented after that one punch. Whatever happened to the voice act though? Writing works, but sound is on another level entirely. As for the 'save me' on the umbrella, bit strange it's on the umbrella? Was the umbrella controlling the guy, or the guy the umbrella, or was he simply locked up and had to be punched out to be free? If so, it's weird he'd initiate a fight, and not just ask the grand OPS to blow a hole in the wall.

Bit baffling that part, but overall this was grand. Short but nicely done! Also: one more thing that'd add to the graphics I thiink: is background, one that stretches further, horizons, objects far away that add to the sense of distance and dimension. Looking forward to the next ep!

Dreamimate responds:

Lol thanks man. The save me part is a reference to umbrella's story. He is being held captive as an assassin. He has a disease that is eventually going to kill him so he wants to escape to find the cure. The story i put out just follows other characters stories. Like most of the characters aren't made up. Theve been around for long time. Just watch a few umbrella vids and you will know what im talking about. Thanks for the advice though. ill deffinetly try in the next ep.

Well that... tool an unexpected turn pretty quickly. O_O Creepy stuff! I was actually wondering if someone in a booth behind him would accidentally stab him in the back of the head with a fork just as he was about to start eating (since his head did look a bit like a pancake, especially while spread flat against the table) but this was... this was... pretty disturbing! Woah. Grossly genius.

MeatBallDemon responds:

Thank You! I appreciate the review :D
Grossly Genius is a good description haha

[One Punch Finn]

I foresee a potential for an endless stream of One Punch Man + random serial villain encounters after this one. :D Short but flawless! One Punch. Nice work.

CatcubeTV responds:

thanks, I'm working on it! :)

[Raw Latex 3]

lmao, man, this just gets crazier and crazier... it's been such a long time since the last episode I'd almost forgotten what a wondrous world of pickle-poking pandemonium this strapped-on series withheld! May the fourth by still due... not too long! Awesome work.

Sexual-Lobster responds:

thanks!

[fishy eater]

Smooth frame-by-frame animation does take time! Looks good. Creative, consistent; neat little short.

thank you so much

[ENYO]

Went somewhat out of control at the end there. :) Felt like the music really synced with the animation till that point, to the point where it felt like the animation was made with the music in mind, abstract; fluent; full of meaning in the eye of the beholder. The added dialog ruins that setting a bit IMO, that final encounter that draws blood and just... disrupts the atmosphere. I still love it, but feel it could've ended better! Awesome FBF; ambient lyricism. Nicely done.

JaviJavi responds:

that was the idea create an ambient animation to some ambient music, and it turned out okay at best haha. The dialog and the losing of the arm is something that needed to happen, maybe i forced it to much ? maybe i should've integrated it in better ? Anyways thanks for the critique man i really appreciate it bro !

[Obama's Last Year]

lmao man, pretty twisted! XD No place like NG for stuff like this! Real nice presidential pixels there.

MEGAROBBY responds:

Thanks Cyberdevil! No better place than NG

[1 Punch Stick - Episode 2 (Vs Yoyo)]

Heeey you forgot the badass outro. :P Catchy credit music, though!

As for the animation: the motions do feel a bit slow still, as if the gravity is lighter than normal. For example, when the blue figure gets up after the yoyo explodes, he looks a bit like an astronaut shifting positions in space, not a grounded figure who needs to tense his muscles to get up... you know? Another thing, that makes movement feel stiffer I think, is that not all body parts move for all parts of a motion. For example, when theblue guy jumps over 1 Punch Stick with the yoyo, 1 Punch Stick only ducks with his head, and moves his arm a little, the rest of his body doesn't budge/bend/anything, which seems a bit unnatural. It's difficult to get natural motions, but that's where most improvement could be made IMO.

I'm impressed with the animation overall though! Interesting angle with the yoyo, good balance of close-ups and side-view, the yoyo string wasn't always the most natural as it moves, but when One Punch Man... sorry, Stick - is holding it, the slack looks perfect. The fight's nicely scripted too, it all makes sense; follows a red thread, has humor and variation, and even voice acting! :D Wasn't expecting that! lmao copyright issues. XD Good episode; looking forward to the next! Keep up the good work!

Dreamimate responds:

Hey thanks man. I understand what you mean about not looking real. I guess i didn't notice it because i was trying out other things this time. I will try and make it better though.

I did put my outro in the video. It's right at the end after next ep coming soon.
I'm gonna have to fire my voice actor if he doesn't get his act together cause personally i thought it was bad.

It felt like i'd been working on this for 2 weeks when in reality it was only 4 days. its weird. You think i should make the episodes longer? tbh i would if i could but its not really easy with him being one punch stick
