The sword does look a bit off, and the impact not all as impactful as it could get, but I like how you initiate the movement with the lines all set in motion like that. That part: perfect! Practice makes with the rest! ;)

yes i didn't quite understand how impact frames worked and thought throwing bootleg kill la kill stars was good enough
For a practice animation this was actually really smooth! I'm thinking for things like the final scen3e it'd look good if the character was moving, if ever so slightly, just to give a sense of 'life'. Just 'breathing' type of motion - torso moving up and down a bit. The action overall comes across nicely!

my idea was that the last scene would have the camera pan out with a sound clip of a japanese va saying something edgy but i lack the editing skills
An inspiring and powerful mixture of animation and music! Beautiful work.

Thanks!
Seems like it really is the size that matters after all. XD Sad ending but yeah... well-presented! Was expecting a twist on how the heart was actually his actual heart, but this was a lot better than that at least...
.cd.
Haha good idea I never thought of it that way about his heart being the actual one. That is one twist I never saw.
I made this animation on a whim and it's funny how a rushed 90 sec video I made got Daily Top 5 compared to a well-planned 11 min video I made in 2 months which never got any attention at all (But it sparked my Youtube channel so it's not all bad).
Best Quest/Guild/Adventure-based animation I've seen in some time! :D I like how everyone wins at the end. The joke's on all of them. The entertainment's easy to accept. No casualties. The dragon stands strong in the face of their defiance too... overall it's just one long dialog session packed with wit and... harmless violence? Love it. Great animation, voicing and all.

Means a lot man thanks for watching! Hoping to make more!
Classy music, colorful stick-figure contours... and then that happens. XD Disturbing and charming all at once, not sure which one to settle for... it reminds me a bit of Happy Tree Friends, of which episodes always left me in a similarly dubious state... either way nicely done. Props on surprise.
Happy Valentine!

2002? 2008? 1994? 1995? Getting mixed messages there but I doagree with the AWESOME part! :D Now this is what this is all about. Love the style. Perfect music too.

Thanks you liked it!
Truly I did the cartoon on 2008.
Now I added the Pico fight at starting (a "lost" animation test of those year as well), I added this music... and it seems people like it more than the old one.
Hey, a fellow Swede! :D Gotta love the theme, and part from that the animation's great, simple but smooth - with gradient backgrounds that sometimes seem an unnaturally detailed contrast. It's all easy to follow and fun to watch, though the music... feels a bit strange. Experimental like the genre. It's uplifting music, but at the same time it really doesn't feel like anything that'd relate to 'Vikings'. I'd picture something a bit more fast-paced and ferocious, or pompous, or Norse... basically just something very different. It doesn't sound like your traditional intro music either, which maybe breaks the impression of this as an intro. It feels more like a teaser, or prelude, until that final traditional trademark splash. :)
Would love to see more Vikings, though! Nice work. And interesting read on the process behind it.

Tackar! Didn't think there were that many Swedes around here. ^^
It stated off as an intro but then as we dragged out some scenes and put in sound effects it sort of turned into a different thing as just as you mentioned. The music got a bit more, um playful? than I first had imagined. I told my friend who was in charge of it (who really hasn't made that much stuff before this) to mimic the opening of an anime called "Slayers", which didn't turn out that great, so after that I just told her to make her own thing. I'd imagine the sound guys did a lot of trial and error just like I did.
Anyway, I'll see what I can come up with next time, and thank you for such a detailed review! It was really hard for me to put into words what was off with the music for example. ^^'
Not sure what happened at the end there, just floating around in space... but until that point it was going pretty good! Entertaining. Also wonder who claimed that kingly title on that one planet hmm... nice work.

This video was made for YouTube, the floating at the end is when the subscribe and video suggestions would appear
Well that was pretty entertaining. XD Smooth sketch, and an intro twist that gets you intrigued right away... nice one.

Hehe! Thank you! :D
