Valhalla Delights
"La la la doo de doo de dum....", I look around the portal for a flash that I havn't noticed. " What's this? Valhalla Nights 2? There's a second one? That first one was ok, but this is in the top few best section...", I decide to check it out......
- Graphics & Animation:
.......... WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!!! Dude, this is like... like... BEAUTIFUL!!!
The animation..... Smooth. Really smooth. Especially for the quality. Normally anime themed submissions aren't so smooth... but this..... well it's just hard to find words within my diction to explain it. Adam Philips could blush. I'm sitting here, glued to the edge of my seat, cereal dribbling off my dropped chin, gazing at this spectacular parade of tweens, brushes, and movie clips. Not until the very near end will I blink a few times, bless my eyes, then click replay again. I wish I had a billion extra hands so I could give you all of them thumbs up.... hypotheticly speaking.
-Sound :
I remember those voice actors..... uh oh.... I remember those ameture voice actors. But this new old guy is pretty evil sounding. The music is great. Hm... a little too techno for my picky tastes, fits the theme strangely though. A mixture of techno and midieval makes a hybrid like.... well, I dont think I've heard anything like it. It's something new to me, I guess. The sound is perfectly synced and it's all good quality.
-Story:
Well, great sound.... Perfect Animation..... all it needs now is a writers touch....
Face it, the story is not up to par with the other perfections. It's ok, the story is interesting and probably will get epic in the next one... The NEXT one. This episode just tells me that the girl is back and someone evil is after her. I, and probably all the other viewers, need more story progression. Valhalla Knights 2 is just a fireworks show with hardly any narreration. It stalls too much and leaves you with an uninteresting cliff hanger for the next episode. But I'm just speaking within reference of the graphics and sound. Comparing to all the other submissions, this is pretty good writing.
-Other:
I laughed when he saw the naked girl. His reaction is priceless. She IS hot, too. I absolutely LOVED the entrance of the angel/girl. The easing of the hair and the lighting is great. Also that was the BEST anime fight scene ever. EVER!!!
Graphics- You know.... 10
Sound- 9
Writing- 8
Overall- 9
I'm being a little generous.... but you already had my respect with your other submissions.
Need I say more? Continue with this series!
