[Anime Club - Part 1 (Gunshow Comic Animation)]

As an avid fan of K.C. Green's work, this was absolutely incredible to watch. However, it was very easy to tell that every drawing in this was just straight-up traced over, then coloured in. But despite the lack of any real originality to the animation, it remained faithful to the source material in the process which made it a lot more humble of a fan made animation.

The use of Sapphire's comic dub of this was a stroke genius, and works perfectly as an animation, with Seymour absolutely nailing Mort's Cartman-like persona. The comic dub still stands as a testament to Sapphire's sound mixing, and overall casting choices. This animation proves how well it can work as a fully-fledged animation.

There were also times were the lip-flaps didn't quite sync up with the audio, which really bothered me, but was made up entirely by the genius use of facial expression with the character's movement. There were times when the movement felt a tad-bit stiff, especially in the scene where Mark says "You dense, motherfucker!" and his hand movement is quite stilted. You nailed the eye movement and colouring, though.

I've always wanted an animation of this, and it's amazing. Thank you.

[Dragon Ball Multiverse 4]

This is beautiful. Not only is the animation great, but it recreates the feeling of Dragon Ball damn near perfectly. The voice acting is really wonky, however, with some voice actors doing a great job with their characters, while other voice actors not working at all. Sound wise, I don't think it's too big of a problem, and as Kehny said, the shit sound is reminiscent of the old DBZ episodes, so the bad quality music is all right.

It's only a problem when the music itself greatly overlaps with the voices in the animation itself. There were a few points where it was hard to hear the the characters since the music was a tad bit loud in points. But other than that, it's a pretty impressive recreation of DBZ's artstyle and feeling. It's certainly not perfect and the clashing talents of the voice actors were definitely not great, the animation is spot-on, the visual effects are fucking gorgeous and the overall fights pack a lot of raw energy into each hit the characters landed.

I would even say this is some of your best work, visually. YA DID GOOD BOCO, YA DID GOOD

[Kehny - Animation Reel]

Hahah, good stuff.

[Grunk and Mordy]

This is what I've been waiting for my whole life...! Jesus that artwork is accurate. It's a mix between Regular Show's and Gravity Falls' art styles thrown violently into a blender and out popped this artistic inspiration! You don't even need to read the description to hear this man's suffering and passion to finish this cartoon. What a wonderful piece of work, Quintel and Alex would be proud. Damn proud.

[Another Evangelion Reboot]

Angel babies, fuckin'... comin'... 2088 to a cinema near you or some shit... eh

[Mad Max: Kung Fury Road]

This is so simple but brilliant, just like Fury Road. SirUndead's creepily good Mad Max voice coupled together with good art and tween animation make for a pretty good flick. NICE ONE, GUYS

Hmph. Mmh. Hmm! Hmm...Hmm! Hm!

[Tinder IRL]

This is perfection. Don't let any asshole say that this is good. It's great.

[Video Voice Demo 2014]

Very nicely made video-demo reel, Sir! As usual, your voice is a beautiful combination of Steve Blum and James McCaffery with your own unique twist to it. You're a feckin good voice acteh m8.

Gianni responds:

A COMMENT I DIDN'T DESERVE. TWO LEGENDS I COULD NEVER BE WORTHY OF. Thanks, amigo!
