1st: 3/3
Basically you have a large Johnny Bravo-style dude with a big mouth. The rough character animation and use of digitally altered backgrounds can be considered part of the style, and I like it.
It's a very well-written, albeit overdue Easter parody. Looks trippy!
2nd: 1/3
This is a trailer for an upcoming manga series, however this trailer is animated (about 20 seconds).
For anime/manga standards, it does look a bit crud, not quite on the same level as artists like bluethebone, rtil, or AetherionArt. That's not to say anime styles aren't harder than other styles.
Most notably, I can still detect aliasing with that bodyshot 4 seconds in, even through the VHS filter, and the hands could also use some improvement:
As a standalone movie, can't go any higher. Otherwise I believe this will shape up into something awesome.
3rd: 3/3
Original 3D animated short. Great voices, looks very mid-to-late 2000s-ish, and there's an interesting plot twist:
Note: Not all the contributors: (there are several) are on NG.
4th: 3/3
Original series about gnomes. Very well animated.
5th: 0/3
Boobs. Beach. Bullshit. There's only one B to rule them all!
Overall, a lot of great original content, and one upcoming project to look forward to.
Total Score: 10/15
