Never have been, and probably never wiil be, a fan of Markiplier, as someone who really finds his style of commentary to be incredibly forced to the point of him just nervously babbling like a mongoloid for laughs or speaking plain gibberish, I cannot stand listening to the guy. No matter what Markiplier cartoon I watch, the chance of me laughing or finding interest in the content is very slim, so for this, i'll just go over the cartoon itself as opposed to the audio aspect.

Your artwork is incredibly clean, from the character designs to the backgrounds, your art is incredibly appealing to look at . The animation was nice too, I especially enjoyed the part where the eye slips out of her mouth, the animation of the blood was really cool looking. One question though regarding the lip syncing, a lot of the time it just seemed like the mouth was only ever moving up and down with a couple of extra movements, was this because it was an anime game and you wanted to make fun of that style or was it an actual issue with the lip syncing. I only clicked onto it at the end and had to watch it again to make sure. I also really liked all the hidden references too, I saw a poster for Mac and Jim and the Anime Amigos dolls which were a neat bonus to look out for.

Overall, I really like this cartoon, however in my eyes I just think its unfortunate that all this work went to an audio clip from a Markiplier lets play, I don't mean to offend if you actually like his content but I just think its a shame to see so much effort go towards something like that. Obviously, its not what most people would call "wasted talent" because you can learn a lot from this in the future, animation wise, and you probably have learnt a lot since making the it. If you like this kinda stuff, im not gonna stop you from making content about it and don't let other people stop you from doing it if you like it, draw what you want and you'll automatically learn from it, It's just that this isn't my cup of tea and i'm not gonna lie about it.

Anyway, great work and good luck with your future projects

i always love reading your reviews man, the lip sync wasn't mocking anime i kinda messed up on it, that's something that needs improving, tbh i'm not really that big of a fan of mark, i watch his content from time to time, but i'm not what you call a fanboy and yes i learned quite a lot from this, this animation got me to experiment with using 3s instead of 2s most of the time, anyway thanks for the review man

10 Amazing Facts About You

2015-06-16 18:00:16

I have only seen a few entries for NATA so far, and most stuck to either trying to funny or formulaically list factoids which, while interesting to some degree, didn't really allow them to shine through and take a few opportune risks for their work. The best way I can describe this is that it's human. Everything about rains true and by using the physical, emotional and deep psychological traits of the human body, you created a story that was likable, funny, charming and relatable. It may be simplistic but, again, it is human and the contrast between the facts of life and, well, life itself was a truly phenomenal artistic decision. Based on the way you able paint a very realistic picture of just a small portion of some most people's lifes, alone, should be enough for you to win the competition.

Now with my pretentious rambling out the way, I better start talking about the technical side. The art was really cute. A vibrant yet simple colour palette really made the characters and environment stand out. I also like the designs, too. As said before, they are really cute designs and you did a fantastic job at making sure that these designs were not cluttered or overdone, which for the story you were trying to tell could have been a misfire. The comedy, while minimal yet present, was really quick, undisruptive and added to the charm, making characters interactions feel just a bit more genuine. The animation was fluid, very nicely paced and this shines through when the characters express their emotions through body languages and visual cues which were heavily complemented by the strong poses (Sorry if any of that sounds inaccurate on a technical level, i'm not an animator.)

In conclusion, this is pretty much flawless, what needed to be there, was there. Not overdone, or underdone. The perfect emotion, interaction, art, animation, aesthetic, great sense of pacing, character movement, blocking. All down to a tee. I wish you good luck in the tournament and to all your other work in the future.

TOP TEN UBELBIEABLE GAMING FACTS (18+)

What's the deal with Audible, anyway. It's not even gaming channels anymore, but out of all the people who fall under that particular demographic, who would want to buy books being read to them by celebrities. "The Count of Monte Cristo narrated by Samuel L Jackson". Not the best sponsor seen as it's incredibly hard to subtly advertise an entire digital service. Now Kraft's cheese, that would be a splendid sponsor.

I really do like this submission, its quite thought provoking considering the discussion on how these kind of people work, and has made me think from business perspective about possible sponsors. Oh, and your animating skills have improve ten-fold, really fluent and I like your nice colour palette. Even Mr Larry has come along way as a comedic voice actor. His understanding word emphasis make for some truly funny lines.

I hope the NATA tournament goes well, and good luck to the other participants involved, may the best man win.

Thank you man, the colors were like one of the only things I was satisfied with in this. That was actually myself voice acting though, people seem to get my voice and peter's voice mixed up often haha
