Too short

We're starting to get into the series, but progress is painfully slow, with some of the jokes viewed as unnecessary and just filler material. You would be better advised to put in bits and pieces from other episodes, condensing it to maybe a 2-3 minute piece that makes people want to see the next episode, rather than the current theory of "If I drip feed it enough, I can pull the series out to 100+ episodes without giving too much of the plot away." That's not to say that this is what you are doing, but your file size limit is enough to get three or four times as much plot in there as you currently have.

The voice acting sounds good in terms of quality, though most of your voices are the same voice, with either a higher or lower tone. None of them has a different accent and having everyone sound the same is a little poor. There are plenty of willing voice actors around the parish, if you try looking. The BBS has a thread dedicated to aspiring talent and you are able to cherry pick from there.

The drawing needs a little tidying up as well - bits and pieces like drawing a shield, for example. I would have made the points of the shield less so, perhaps even considering a flat top to the kite shield, for ease of drawing. Getting a tablet would be a good way to go forward, so stick one on your Xmas or birthday gift list, so someone can treat you. Some issues with the actual animation could be tidied up, like walk sequences and an improved sense of lip-sync, so you don't have to fall back on the slapstick jokes, which don't look so good when they are poorly animated. I'll bet that you've improved since this was submitted, though.

No better than the first.

Like the first, this one was decent, but still not very entertaining and needs improvement as far as the animation goes.

Graphics/Animation:
It was drawn very simply, much like the first. There was no improvement with the animation either, and in fact, poor animation was more noticeable in this one, especially with walking. When characters walked, their legs didn't even move, which needs to be fixed. It would also be nice if there was some animation for the castle doors when a character goes through one rather than the character simply disappearing and then reappearing next to a different door. Additionally, I noticed one part when you used a low quality image of a fountain rather than drawing one yourself. Even if you have a hard time drawing it, a poorly drawn fountain (or even nothing at all) would work better than that image. Finally, the lip syncing is as bad as it was in the first episode and still needs improvement.

Audio:
Also pretty much the same as it was in the first. I notice that the voices would often not stay at a constant volume, and this needs to be fixed. Otherwise, I didn't mind the voices and the music at the end was alright.

Concept:
It was somewhat nice to see what happened after episode one and I'm a little interested as to what will happen in episode three, but I still wouldn't say it's very entertaining. It doesn't help that this one seems a bit shorter. It might help if you put a few of them into one episode rather than making so many short ones.

Overall:
I actually liked the first one a little bit better than this one, primarily because of its length and more noticeably poor animation.
