It grew on me.
This was pretty good man. I like the characters, and the series has an okay storyline, though nothing that hasn't been done. (Still working on my own story weaving skills in my own flashes, I needed it more than you do) And I really appreciated the length, it really gave me a chance to get into it.
However, ideas require substance to back them up. I realize that this was a story-building chapter with no fights, which are necessary for series. But with a chapter like this, from what I've been studying in my break from animating is that you should focus on interesting, animated dialogue and showing people what's going on instead of just telling them. You need clean art and lots of animation to make long-winded dialogue interesting. The girl's supposed to be so dangerous, so she could have burst free from the straps, kicked the guy back and wrapped the cuffs around his neck when she woke up instead of being friendly courteous. Something like that probably would have fit the story better looking at the last one.
Another thing was the art, you can draw, but one complaint I've always had with your stuff is that its kind of sloppy and rushed looking. It would have done you more good if before the second time you submitted this (which continues to perplex me as to why you always submit stuff twice) if you had taken a day to fill in the holes in the character drawings where you can see through to the background through the uncolored part of an eye or hair, it would really take your work up a notch. And foreal man, this is not something low-key, its incredibly obvious.
Other than that, it was pretty good, it grew on me as it went on. Don't think I'd watch it twice though. Keep up the good work! We're all improving man. =)
