I know that there are a lot of mistakes so don't bother pointing them out. And i think near half way where the screen bugs out I know about that too. I'm simply too lazy to fix it.

looks nice :D

Lawlz thanks, glad someone will atleast comment :x
makes me feel like it sucks total trash when no one comments

It looks really good, but i got 2 problems with it,
1.Why does the body just kind of shift up when he sighs. (not really a problem, but it's just a personal preference.
2. whats with the red line? :O

1. The body shifts up when he sighs to emphezise that he's sighing
2. The red line is to insure I have all the frames aligned

The only problem I have with it is that when anything moves, you add too much of a blur. It ruins the crispness of the picture. When he tosses the knife, it blurs and it doesn't look clean.

When he sighs, it blurs and doesn't look clean.

When he moves his body (not for the attack) it blurs and doesn't look clean.

If you're doing animations, try not to add too many effects that ruin the crispness, unless you're doing it for a direct reason. Oh, and don't reply to this statement saying why you added the blur, because it's just an excuse. This animation could be clean, but it isn't because of the blur.

Yes, it's more work to keep it clean, but that's the whole point of good animating and why animators are not easy to find in the industry.

Uhm.... -Okay-
It's blurred because the sprite is pixelated, and when I rotate it it has to be blurred. I don't blur it myself it's just how fireworks works. Now if this were made with Flash, then I'd smooth image it, but firewords doesn't have the option to do that. I don't have the means of keeping it from not blurring, but if you think that this is an excuse fine by me. I accept your CnC and theres no harm towards you, but all I'm saying is I have no control over when things are rotated / skewed fireworks automatically blurs the image.

So don't use fireworks. There are multiple methods of not making things get blurred, although they involve not using fireworks, to my knowledge. You could even do the entire animation in Photoshop, but that would be a lot of work, at least until you've got the ground-work laid out.

Photoshop does the same thing, fireworks is an even better animating program than photoshop. ._.

I'm quite sure there's a way to animate it without creating the blur in photoshop, not sure about fireworks. Regardless, there is no point in arguing over semantics. I said my point.
