Fantastic work, that song was astounding. You gotta put that up on iTunes or make it available for download, it was so beautiful.
Reviews for "Wrip an' Vinkle: No Evil 010"
Great as usual.
But, and issue with Calamity's voice... it just seems off. Everyone else, all the characters that need one, have an authentic sounding southern drawl, they all sound like people I run into on a day to day basis. But Calamity's voice has this... shouting but not shouting air to it, like the kid from the first episode of your Swingers series. It seems like Calamity's voice is meant to sound like a... pseudo-Jamaican wise shaman. But the voice, in my opinion is better in this episode is best than in Brom Bones.
I like the Aztec mythology. I studied them in school some, though more the history of the Aztecs and less the culture and religion. Also, I feel conflicted on Wrip as a character... I mean I'm all for bitches getting their comeuppance. But I feel like sense her boyfriend "died" I should feel sorrow, but all I feel is, its her fault so berate her.
Also was the Black Tezcatlipoca, or regular Tezcatlipoca, in any previous segments, episodes, animations whatever? Was it released in any earlier ones? I guess I Should just go back and rewatch them all!!!!
Also, if he was turned back to human, then are any of them really anthropomorphic animals? Is the coyote fellow, the main one, related to the mischief causing trickster of Australian mythology, because he seems very tricky, might just be an unintended thing.
Also, Ichabod Crane, crane heh... is to me the best character here. He seemed to act because he cared about Wrip, and wanted to help her to wake up her boyfriend. So maybe not so much selfless as he did so he could get her, or be a candidate. Or maybe I may be wrong. But even so, he probably did so both selflessly and for personal gain, like a real person. Also his dilemma with Wrip is funny, to me at least. It presents itself both seriously, which is how Ichabod views it, and jovially from everyone else's pov.
Despite all my wordy criticism, I did re-watch it a few times, because it is a good animation, and because I wanted to write a wordy review to seem like a big shot.
I hope Wrip an' Vinkle gets the 1st place weekly user choice, and the review crew pick as well.
Your character designs have always been great, but I have to say this particular fusion of animation, story and song exceeds even your usual high standards. This is a moving, engaging piece of storytelling -- fantastic work of surpassing quality. Filled with greatness.
That song gave me Chills. Amazing work.
As per usual I cannot get enough of your artstyle and voice acting. You guys did a great job with this one!
