[False Memory]

that was very well made story. I like it alot :D

[Seafoam Episode 6 - Space Invader]

I loved this episode and this project in general. Glad youre still pushing through because ik the headaches it comes with animating. The story is getting even juicier with each episode released. The script for this episode I felt seemed a bit rushed. For me it's difficult to cram a story/plots/subplots in 5min-10min videos but you do it very well.

Nothing majorly skipped over and using non-vocal scenes to drive the story was great and I had to rewatch a few times to catch hidden symbolisms (if there were any I hope im not seeing things that arent even there), but I do think the pacing between non-vocal scenes can be stretched out a little bit more. Voice acting was a 10/10 for me but the part near the end when Apollo was talking and then he sorta stops abruptly and then said 'obviously...' and then did it again and said 'right, ok as i was saying' those pauses for me felt weird.

Overall, great episode! and looking forward to the next one! I hope Alex finds a new career path because idk about this one. seems like this boat is just filled with scandals lol

[The Forbidden Jutsu]

way better than naruto!

[TD-Want You Bad]

I didnt know i need this in my life. Thank you lol

[Little Wolf: The Night Trail]

I loved this. the story kept me captivated! My only critiques are that sometimes the face shots or camera angles were a little awkward and i wish the voice acting volumes were higher because the action noises/music soundtracks swallow the overall volume of the animation.

Like in particular the wolf. He has this wise older father figure aura so i understand he speaks in a low demanding way but i think it'll be ok to turn him up a few notches. But overall amazing work. I dont usually like CGI animation and never will tbh but you made it work for me so thank you! I will always be a hand drawn old fashion purist but i appreciate the art you can make with CGI! cheers

[Dahlia's Paradise]

Love the animation but the story seemed a bit...hmm... a little rusty? I was able to follow what was going on but some key moments were kinda stale a little. The lizard demon guy vs the old man was a good setup but leading to Dahlia seemed off.

And why would he give something so dangerous to her? The story felt forced. It didnt ease into the concepts being presented. It lacked a strong storyboarding logic. But, im passionate about what you got here. I truly loved it. It just felt a bit forced.

D-slick responds:

These are some really nice notes. I'll keep this in mind for future projects. Thank you!

[Seafoam Episode 5 - The Moon: Reversed]

I CALLED IT. Blue alien girl worst anime betrayals! And i loved the tarot reading scene (because im sorta into the tarot/alchemy illustrations and the philosophy behind them).

[Seafoam Episode 4 - Trouble]

Idk about this one...Apollo is her supervisor he should be keeping it strictly professional, but if hes gonna be friendly that's cool. Imma keep my eye on him. Alex should report to HR or something or get a confess call with her hiring manager. But knowing how HR works... she better file for unemployment the next time she gets called in for 'business dinner." xD

[Seafoam Episode 3 - World Away]

Animation throughout the episode is a 9/10 (Im personally a fluidity junky) and I think they rival so-called 'professional animations.' But, what you animate is impressive and the story matches its elevation! I wanna see Alex get to the bottom of blue alien girl. 5 bucks says she commit worst anime betrayal.

[The Purple Imposter]

just amazing makes me wanna play the game!
