Art needs lots of work-good effort and persistance

Since you seem like the person who actually wants critiques here's my two cents.

When people say your art needs work, it means that you need to focus on making your characters more believable. By believable, I mean that the characters seem like they can actually exist in that world. Try to keep their volumes from warping constantly. A great reference for you to learn from is the "Animator's Survival Kit" by Richard Williams. Almost all animators worth their salt own this book as well as any beginners. The effort put into this animation shows to me that you're serious about trying to learn how to animate. Start taking life drawing, etc. Another book I'd recommend to learn how to "see" when drawing is "Drawing on the Right side of the Brain" These are two no-bullshit books that will improve your abilities by teaching you the basics of art and animation. Good luck.

So imaginative. Artsy.

Awesome, great to see something with such interesting visuals, and approach. I was still left wanting a resolution to the end. Can't really explain it, not so much as wanting more; It just felt unfinished.

Great Job

I appreciate how you got the tense feeling across without having to resort to loud sounds or screams whenever something freaky comes out. Great work.

[HotFish-SameButDifferent]

Incredible. Absolutely incredible

A Sambakza masterpiece. Awesome, awesome work.

For Southpower: I believe that in Korea grades are based on rankings among students rather than just letter grades. You're placed like first, second, 205th, 2,275,908th, she was on the lower end of the grades. At least, that's what I gathered.

Plagarism: Only screwing yourself in the end

Perhaps if you would adapt reference rather than blatantly trace entire animations and section them up; you may actually get to a level of art that will be worth the time to shoot down. As of this post, this is to inform that this has been Very badly traced from at least three animations I've seen, there was one scene I was unsure of but I have no doubt that it was traced too. You're going nowhere in life, scrote.

[Ninja episode 1]

Admirable Effort.

If you want to improve your art, read the book "Drawing from the Right Side of the Brain" (Sorry, forgot the author's name and I can't find my book right now)

If you want to improve your animation, get the Animators Survival Kit by Richard Williams. Follow the basics in here as if they were your bible. This book is used for reference the world over. (Even If you're an athiest, you can still pretend it's a bible)

Hyper-Shadow-Death responds:

thanks ill be sure to check it out

[KOROSU- the black samurai]

Great effort.

You spent alot of time on this and it shows. Valiant effort and with more tweaking as well as attention paid to the character, you'd have a top notch animation.

Should read up on proper animation and doing key drawings rather than straight ahead. once you practice with that; you'll make a lot better animation in less time.

[( Intruder Alert )]

kinda dull

Why do you even try for a semblance of a story when [the story] is going to be that bad? Why not call your show 'Intruder beat down' and just start with the fight scene. Either make a story that is DECENT or toss it and only show the visuals. I was going to say something about insulting intelligence but this is posted for a bunch of children to see.
