[Where Do You Get Off?]

Great illustration of subverted expectations. I figured it'd go in an unexpected direction, but not this unexpected. Well done!

[Ace Soda | FULL Indie Animated series]

This was a well-made anime style narrative. I have the same note as the previous reviewer. The credits were missing the cast--they did a great job, deserving of mention. At least list them in the description below the video. I'm a voice-actor myself, so this is a faux pas with me and why I'm not giving you more than four stars. So please include your cast in the credits in subsequent narrative projects.

Update: Thanks for the clarification. Don't forget to credit yourself & your wife, then, in that area. I bumped up my score of your piece. You & your wife did great with the VA.

The voices were all done by me, with the acceptation of my wife who voiced Emma

[SPEEDMAN]

This was brilliantly made, and the plot took some refreshingly unexpected turns. The visuals, cast and music all came together with solid writing. This is the kind of project I'd love to be cast in. I hope the series continues, and I can get a chance to try out.

[F*** THAT]

I suggest turning down the gain a few notches. I had to turn the volume way down to sit through the piece.

[Pokemon Gold & Silver [Part 1 / 2] in 25 minutes ANIMATED]

I'm a geezer with a passing familiarity with Pokemon. I was expecting to catch a few minutes of this animation, but I wound up sitting through its entirety without interruption. That's a testament to how impressive this 5-month project is. The characters were engaging, and there's a fantastic range of expression. Well done!

[Good Woods]

This was brilliantly crafted, riffing on a simple concept and taking it unexpected places with two offbeat characters that are well drawn and perfectly voiced, neither too cute nor too obnoxious and just the right amount of deadpan. The acting's not wooden, just the backdrop. This has potential for a series. It's easy to imagine scenarios the two main characters might encounter.

[wake up walko 4]

Cool depiction of a dream. I've had similar experiences in that R.E.M. phase of sleep prior to waking.

[Safety Off | SAFE MODE: 06]

OK, this is my #1 pick for monthly favorites. In terms of the writing, visuals, music and overall world-building, it kept my attention throughout its runtime. Bravo!

[LEMONADE WAS A POPULAR DRINK。]

Dope!

[Last Nite at Sam's]

This is really well done. I like how the story unfolds and the atmosphere created to set the stage for the cascading events.
