The animation was quite impressive. Original audio use really got me remembering that episode - one of my favourites, for some reason. Though the first is still the best, in my opinion. Anyway, that's going off-track.
The animation was very nice indeed. Especially the grabbing-grimmjow's-arm bit. Like all anime, there's always a little choppiness going on, but this was plenty better than various 'professional' animes I've seen. That goes in spite of the art, though.
Now it's true that the anime style doesn't exactly allow every angle to be drawn non-weirdly, and I know that, even in bleach, the character's faces turn out really weird on occasion, but a few of the faces in here made me cringe. Dunno if you could've done any better with more effort (I certainly couldn't), but it was a slight nag.
Thus my 8 is handed over to you - that's a splendid overall right there. I do hope you keep developing your animation skills!
Salutations,

Yeah most of my poor drawings are probably from the start of the animation because that was when the complete learning curve with trying to use a mouse occured. I slowly got better and better at it after every drawing so I think I'm going to keep trying to use the brush here and there until i get a hand on a drawing tablet lol. I know what you mean with the angles too in anime that could have affected some of the later drawings as well. But I got a daily award and that made my efforts feel all worth while! Thanks for your review I really appreciate it.

My beard can't play guitar. I am in deep envy.
I loved the expressions. They were very well done indeed.
This little thang is simple, short, and absolutely lovely. Great music (from the majorly-talented ol' Logan), and very well done animation.
Very nearly magical, I can't find anything that you may have been able to improve.
...though there's still a little something that I can't describe that keeps me from plopping down a 10...
Oh well.

Got some neat stuff in there. Very humorous. The only downsides are the fiddly (slow) controls, most likely being fiddly because of browsers being slow, the occasional 'what now?' moments, and the fact that most of this is more chinese than japanese xD
No harm done, though. Ignorance is bliss in such cases, so perhaps I shouldnt've said anything. Oh well.
Definitely play-worthy!

The setup is very nice. The concept actually original (apart from the save-the-princess thing, of course), and the all the animations were well envisioned. The only slight pity is Flash's deficiency to react in the right way... but still, it's very well done, considering.
The thing I'm probably most impressed by, though, is the choice of music. Damn. I can listen to that stuff all day. The excellent choice of these snazzy tunes (including 223, not just those listed on the game's file information) is quite likely the last-straw factor that's going to keep me playing this till I have that collector medal as well.
The boss fight was great fun. No, the whole thing was!
I laugh at those who raise their eyebrows at the unrealistic setting of apples making you fat. Why think of details like that? Realism? Ptah! Play your true classics: What's the sense in mario being able to fly with a racoon's tail, or even the fact that he got it from a dead piece of tree's limb in the first place?
In this, my good sir, 'Applez', is a true classic in itself.
Well done indeed.

"Probably the funniest thing about this game..."
...is the amount of people who don't get it.
This is gold, right here. And you've got to be patient and knowledgeable to recognise it.
Oh, and just 'cos you think it rocks doesn't mean you're patient or knowledgeable.
Anyone who has criticism about the way the world works and has half a brain will enjoy this. Neat job indeed.

Never say "I'd do anything" unless you know what 'anything' might include, and mean it.
Poor kid.

Reasonably well done, but sadly flawed. You but a reasonable amount of effort into this series, though it lacks a certain 'oomph'. The story is mostly concealed, and is filled with loose ends. Why didn't Mecha go all out from the start? Where'd all this 'darkness' come from? I liked the techni-talk Mecha was spouting most of the time, although Sonic's tendency to stop moving as Mecha talked seems a major, anime-esque flaw. "I'm not going to give you that chance!" in number one impressed me, but you kinda let it slip after that.
Nice animation, moderately inventive battle, and an overall well-polished look. Yet the flaws are very obvious and ruin the feeling a bit. There's no suspense, and the mecha having 'failure' running over the screen whilst misspelled just gave a kiddy impression.
All in all, there's animation talent in there, but the story and setup could use some improvement.
Don't give up, and MaikMoar(tm)!

Anyway, thanks for watching!

This is my therapy!
Completely odd song. Even weirder than 'The Xen to one Ratio'. I love it.
The animation... was excellent. Superb! Some of those effects are ones I've often wished to try but could never get right. Kudos to you sir, this is a masterpiece.
The randomness! I adore it!

And as such, it comes to an end, completing the interlinking circles in and around Jerry's life. Amazing work! There's so much in this series that comes so close to be exactly what us 'yung-uns-witha-future' fear to end up as. A lovely story viewed from several points with top-notch voiceacting and a classic and very-well-done animation style. Well, actually it's quite a horrible story, but portrayed in a lovely way, and still finished off with some end-well kind of feeling, with tingles of doubts and confusion. Is the future a lie? Will Jerry be more careful this time around? No, but at least he has been happy at some points. Right?
Hear ye, hear ye, I say Well Done, Sir Max Gilardi, Well done indeed.
So much can be read in this series. How much of it was intentional? How much more is there that we haven't realised?
I'm not one to like literature, but if there's any animation series out there that deserves the title, it just may well be these.
Forth, and onwards, to a better life!

The action is once again beefed up in the continuation of this increasingly original saga, as more and more story-elements unfold...
You're getting better and better at this, Alvin! Quite thrilling indeed.
I also see you're asking for donations. Let me/us know when you're also available on 'moneybookers'. I don't have a credit card, you see =)
There's too many things to praise in this one.
Loved the action once again. You always seem to be able to improvise new attacks and add more interesting sequences.
Do a barrel roll!
I'm not going to try and name favourites.
Simply a work of art, with a healthy dollop op genius and finesse.
Most certainly awaiting the next instalment, however long it may take.
Salutations!
