I like your style. The tooth stuff is a bit jarring compared to the rest but I quite like your execution in general.

Well made, but I don't really get it.

Guess you can't burn this video either.

I'm really not sure where to go on this one.
The style is, of course, ProsciuttoMan, and it has a lot of that rather staggered / basic loop stuff going on with various things ranging from lipflap to violence. I think you sincerely need to get a better microphone because the quality of Gunman is drastically worse than every other voice in this production. You can make the argument that it's intentional, but everyone else sounds much more consistent, making Gunman uniquely echoey.

Of course, Crimer in particular being the character I myself voice, I found that his looping mouth frames really do not fit the Ben Shapiro style direction I was given for the line delivery. You needed to have start/stop on mouth assets, because otherwise it comes off as painfully lazy. This takes a lot of time, I had to do it for Ben Shapiroth. But it is worth it for a better product.

I think the thing that really made me laugh most was the second time Bullet Girl made a joke and Gunman lost his mind. The pushing for laughter part landed best there.

Overall, I think this fits into a mid-2000s animation culture more than 2022. There are too many shortcuts taken where there could be more polish. It feels like a half-step from an animatic/comic book to an actual cartoon.

The art pieces throughout were really nice and those bump up the score. The music choices were also a nice throwback to how things used to be.

Keep working on your timing and don't take shortcuts. Your style definitely doesn't feel like it's the best fit for longform material that's dialogue heavy. Refer to Peter the Ant or Goobee's Lament for more on what I mean, where these were very well communicated visually. The use of VO can be a double edged sword sometimes, and I think having clean audio almost brings the charm down.

Keep at it!

Thank you a bunch! Great points and critiques man!

Don't listen to this guy I just watched this video in 2023 and I laughed more than he did.

I struggle to understand what the broader purpose behind Palutena's insatiable hunger was, but this was beautifully animated in such a way that I picked 5/5 before the Ness sequence was even finished. I'm glad you committed to seeing it all the way through. This is such a bizarre cartoon but I like it.

This is very nice, but I think you should post it in the art portal instead since it's a short loop with no sound.

Mama mia

I really appreciate this! The art isn't amazing, but there's clearly a lot of care and attention put into it all. Very "soulful". I think this is much better than the alternative where there's less action.

You have amazing potential, keep working on your art. I can't wait to see your future work!

Very good work, Doobus. Lip sync is a pain in the ass. You've improved a lot. Keep moving forward!

I give this 5/5 solely for the Pizza episode, which had a perfect blend of artistic ability, great writing, and immaculate execution.

It was a bit disappointing to see how many of the episodes relied on the same HURR HURR SHINJI GET IN THE ROBOT GENDO IS DISAPPOINTED ground that has been tread to death for over 25 years, but I won't let that bring down the score earned by some of the most hilarious or well crafted bits.

I also liked the Nigel bit and the EVA dating sim references. I would say I personally enjoyed 70% of this collab, and am sure others enjoyed it at least that much or more.

My last note: I really think a lot of NG animators are skilled at animating but not at writing, and would like to see more teaming up with writers for these collabs. The final product will be better.

EDIT:
Forgot to mention this before but I absolutely adore the way you handled the title cards for each part. That was beautifully done. Great!
