Reactions starts at 7:40. Until then, please (try to) enjoy us wasting your time. We recorded this WAY too close to the mic, but I did my best to fix it in Adobe Audition (a program I've never used before, fyi). There still is slight potato sound quality, but it's not nearly as bad as the original recording was.
All in all, this was one of their best episodes yet. It certainly was a good set up for a future reoccurring antagonist, and I definitely felt a South Park vibe with AnimatedJame's character, which is what Adam was going for, and he pulled it off quite nicely. No complaints with the writing, but there were a couple of design flaws in this episode. Granted, they were small, but when Guylan notices a small error during a viewing, then he's gonna notice it with every subsequent viewing; small errors bother him.
For one, Baseball's red lines were really shaky every time he moved. This however, I will acknowledge, is an animation glitch that they simply could not fix, so it's excusable. I myself have experienced similar Animation glitches when it came to zero gravity movement while working on the BFSP Finale, so I can relate; Obviously, they wouldn't animate Baseball that way on purpose.
Secondly, the very first scene with Baseball, Nickel, and Suitcase was off center, resulting in a black bar on the side of the screen. Since Adam decided to be critical to Retro about not taking the time to review his work before uploading, well... appears you didn't either. I know you animated this scene, and I know you did video editing, so this was entirely your mistake. Mind you, Retro's mistake was MUCH more crucial than yours was, but both cutting audio and centering a scene equally take, like, 2 seconds to do, so I mean.... probably being over critical here. Adam's criticism against Retro doesn't bother me in the slightest, considering it happened nearly a year ago, but...... ehh.
And then there's Test Tube's design. Her design needs an upgrade, it is notably poor, especially the top of her. Her opening isn't smoothly round, and considering the rest of the show's design is really well done and smooth, Test Tube kind of sticks out. They improved OJ's design in time for his appearance in Episode 7, now it's Test Tube's turn.
Once again, these were small flaws, and although I clearly have a 'perfectionist complex' when it comes to animation (because I'm passionate about it), these flaws didn't ruin the episode for me. Writing was solid, Animation was solid, this Episode was solid.
Baseball, Knife, Mic, and Nickel are pretty safe this episode. As for the other three, here are my thoughts/fan theories:
