Visual Review

Karaoke.

Opening. That line pop-in is liable to give someone an epileptic seizure. And where the fuck is the logic in the coloring scheme? Come on.

Rating: Bad.

Ending. Generally, the point of coloring karaoke is that it should make sense. Vivid missed that with both the OP and ED.

Rating: Okay.

 

 

Typesetting.

 

The typesetting ranges from the forgettable to the unfortunately not so.

 

 

 

Script Review

Karaoke.

Vivid, that’s not how you simile. “white feathers gathering” have nothing to do with “burning”, “love”, or “strength”.

 

 

Main Script.

Humorous, but not exactly in his character to say.

Not get very far as-is.

Is the point of this scene to show disjointed logic leaps and an inability to think clearly? If not, then you need to rewrite it so the two final lines are linked.

“Regardless, he’s still the same person on the inside.”

Simple fix.

Redundant. Letting things stand necessarily implies staticism. Either cut out “the way they are” or, more preferably, change “stand” to “stay”.

We already understand it’s a mystery to her, given the convenient use of the question mark in the first line.

“When did Earth’s male and female clothing styles reverse?”//”I’ll need to look into this.”

This may be what Keima said, but it doesn’t have to sound so bad.

CMS had “Try falling from the sky to make a better entrance.” which although I’m not thrilled with, is a lot better than what Vivid has.

I’d personally make it more biting and play with the words. “Falling from the sky, for example, would leave a better imprint.”

Overall grade: B

A rather solid release for the four hours of effort put into it. Imagine what they could’ve done with five.
