[Promenade the Puzzle]

Ah see

Well, I'm curious as to what you say the message is 'cause I mean... something that deep must be pretty damn awesome.
The "deepest" meaning that I could see in that was that humanity (or whatever) loves killing themselves. The smoke-face was going all "I love you" and the guy continued to smoke and hwaht not and the the smoke-face bit his heart.
Anyways.
I hope when you say all that you said in the Author Comments, you were talking about how the song inspired you to make this animation, and the message is in the song. If not, as in you thought of this idea all on your lonesome and then just chose this song because you thought it would suit the style of the animation, then you should be a bit modest. Because... that is pretty damn pretentious. Especially at the end when you write (I forget exactly what you said) "To tell the director your feelings, e-mail [insert e-mail]... you write that as if you expect people to break down in the beauty of your work. At least that is the vibe that I get from it.
Anywho
As for the animation itself... the whole style, yes it's a cool style that matches the song... but it gets boring pretty quickly as it is just the guy smoking... and that is basically it. Just the guy, in a room, with a smoke face, and the occasional heart and smoke ring things. That's it. For an animation this long... that is not enough. It gets pretty unbearable. And repetitive. Also.. the actual animation of it isn't the greatest. For the most part you're just moving the graphics you have rather then frame by frame animation.

The whole thing in general is just not that fun to watch, with the combination of the repetitiveness of the scenes, the song not being that great, and just lackluster animation. All that coupled with how highly you seem to regard this.. just... totally unpleasant.
Didn't realleh enjoy it.

[The PS3 Song!]

Ok good song but

You didn't make the song.
The graphics weren't that great, even for the style. Real sloppy at some points. One thing that really draws my eye is near the start the guys hand on the left is... his fingers are facing out when they should be in. That's a little small thing but I'm just using it as an example
The animation, well, wasn't that great either. An example being the Phil Harrison part. The stretching and skewing looks pretty bad. You probably should have just rotated the image there if anything.
Also.. the.. presentation is really uncreative. Now I'm not sure how I would do it but... at times it's just so completely literal; you use the Halo 3 image and what not. And.. it's boring how it always goes back to that gray to black screen with the guy singing.
Sooo ya. I don't think the score should be up this high. I mean, the song.. is great, and that is distracting. You could stick that song in a lot of things on the internet and they would be "great"...

[SuperVillain II]

That was so awesome...

In my eyes, it was perfect except for the bird thing.
But that wasn't bad, just kinda... not good,
Everything else was absolutely freaking amazing.
Like... I would go on saying the specific things I liked about each part... but it all boils down to every part is freaking amazing.
The bird thing was just kinda.. too silly, or something. Too like, blunt or something in comparison to the rest.

[Jerry]

Dude...

that was genius.
Heheh.
Eheh.
I didn't want it to end.. ehe
My one suggestion is it could do without that very final final scene, and just end with that line. Though that would be kinda very reminiscent of that whole uh... dirty knife skit, was it? That Monty Python did. Like "and now the punch line"
But mebbe that's just me
Ya nothin' else to say

[Soul Cream]

Seemed like you were trying to hard

Seemed like.
I have no idea how naturally those ideas came to you, but something about this made it seem like you were really trying way too hard to be... I don't know what the right word is. There are a bunch of words.
But ya.
I liked the "you shouldn't see me I was invisible". Followed by the "potential customer" deal was nice.
Realleh though the parents thing was rather cliche, and I don't think you should have made the ice cream guy really go out of character for the playing with the heads part. He seems like he's been around for eons and eons, why would he want to play like that?
And the voices. I know it must be hard to like.. change your voice and do all the voices and stuff, but it couldn't be taken seriously (all in mah opinion of course) because the voice of the salesman guy just wasn't ominous enough, and the voice of the kid was just a bit like, a... not kid. Ya know? And I know that it's hard to do voices and stuff... but if the animation is centered around what's being said, you gots to have the voices.
Uh ya.
I think there was more to say but I am really distracted right now so ya.
You could do something great, me thinks. Just... let everything flow out. Don't force (that's what it SEEMED like... heheeh)

[GUM]

That was hot

Seriously that was so awesome... my favourite part was just when the gum re-wrapped itself. It was just so... delightful to see.

[Akira the Don - Hypocrite]

Very good

But ya, I couldn't really pay attention to the animation much 'cause I was reading the subtitles. Even then I hardly understood. Hehe
Everything but that was great

Wonchop responds:

Hehe

[Baby Factory]

Well, to be honest, I didn't like it too much.

I didn't dislike it, just didn't like it very much.
The voices weren't... they weren't satisfactory <_<
And you overused "bitch".
Uh
One thing I really loved was the testing grounds. The voice of that eyeball-machine-catcher dealy was really good.
That's pretty much all I wanted to say. The testing grounds scene was really good.

Bulortio responds:

heh, well thanks for saying the good and bad of it. I hope my next one gives you a 100% level of happyness and face moving emotion.

[FB crosses the street]

That was pretty epic

He looked like pudding when he walked!!!! ^.^
That's so funneh. The pudding, ah mean.
The rest, was also pretty sweet.
The fight scene.
Was it seen from the Badger's eyes? And that's why it was all like that? If so that's pretty sweet.
Also, good text thar at the end. Well said.
Hehe.
Funneh. I gave it a 4.

[Throwback the Duck Ep. 0]

I feel sorry for the pikmin...

It was just mopping the floor. Sure it took Throwback's job, but how pathetic must it be to work for no pay? I mean.. it's just so innocent. And I was all happy that it didn't get hit while Throwback was messing stuff up, but then whack! And it went flying out of the screen... it just occasionaly stopped mopping to look at Throwback, as if expecting to get hit... and then it just got hit when it least expected...
About the thing as a whole, it was perfect. Just perfect.
