Excursion to Weebnation
A stuffy journalist goes to Weebnation, an event for manga fans, to cover the event. She is appalled by the degeneracy and cringe.

What I like about it:
- Good character acting and Great facial expressions (The first character explaining how conventions are the centre of weirdness is a good gag and good joke and the character dancing in the background has good body mechanics and smooth animation).
- Good camera movements and love the interaction between the first character and the camera.
-Good lighting change with the extreme close up.
What I think needs improving:
- Have some of the background characters move around subtly (Have one character looking at some merchandise, two characters talking to each other).
- Lip syncing needs some more articulation to be more accurate, film yourself or another person as reference.

A little over ambitious with all the extras in this. I'm guessing you didn't have time to animate them in some way. It's also hard to register the signs in the back because of its verticality and there's too much going on with all the posters, etc. that the point of your setup gets lost.

Hahaa, i love the idea behind this piece. Made me laugh.
I think the biggest drawback in this is the lip-sync - specifically the lines 'don't believe me' and 'you will' can be more clear and punchy. The overall animation could also use some final polish with some more inbetweens and maybe some easing in and out of poses.

I feel targeted..

The first part looks a bit out of sync, the other part is really cool
