NO WONDER you were taking too long i was thinking "how can a 10 minute episode take SO long to be made" and now i understand why, this episode was cool and the longest, you're not ever gonna think about quitting the series just like that creator of SMBZ and MunkyBoi are you? i hope not, you entertain me better than any other sprite animator :)
This might be the first online sprite animation with a decent plot I’ve ever seen. Also, the animations are smooth as fuck my dude. Even the non-action sequences are next level with how well they characters individuals and show them emoting. Favorite parts were definitely Vanilla being ready to stab a bitch for her daughter and the entire Decoy Vs. Mecha fight. The interactions in both of those was so well done.
Just finished this video man Franco i gotta say you nailed everything perfectly -Characterisation - The little jokes made by scourge to show hes definitely an opposite to Sonic - And I love decoy, the fight scene with Mecha is absolutely beautiful so far. Keep going man
Was rewatching this again, and one thing that I love is just how much Decoy’s fighting style is “What if Sonic had a jet engine installed in his back.” Like, you can genuinely tell this is a droid made to imitate Sonic as best as it can, as well as to possibly even go beyond with its additional weaponry. Edit: Also, it’s such a cool mini detail that when Decoy goes into Overdrive his red fire burns so hot it turns blue. Really showing how it pushes him above his limits, even if just for a few moments at a time.
I absolutely love the variety of motion and attacks that have been showed in the battle between Decoy and Mecha. It is really fluid and not easy to take eyes off. Really liked how both of them use their trusters to change their location during the fight. Outro is fantastic, I love it, shows, what will be one the main points of this arc.
Wow just wow! This is absolute perfection, I loved every bit of it! The animation, the portrayal of anti sonic, and the rivalry between Mecha and Decoy. and that fight was spot on! Entirely worth the wait, merry Christmas Franco! Keep on going!
I really loved this episode. Glad this can be one of my Christmas gifts! There are two things that I liked.(Not saying everything else was bad, but these two things I talked to myself about.) 29:55 While “Nick” is evil and trying to take control of Sonic’s mind, he also is kind of a cool demon. I think this is because Sonic’s a cool guy. And since Nick is in his head, I’m sure some of Sonic’s personality is with Nick as well. 34:55 I think this chunk of the episode is creative. Adding Vandalize in for background music is nice. It reminded me of those montages scenes in tv show. Overall, this episode was pretty dang good!
OMG! That was really amazing, every character is potrayed so well and you did a great job making this 40min episode!! I really hope this gets more views and attention, because you do deserve it!
well this is starting to get interesting, with Anit-Sonic on the loses, Tails fixing gizod, Decoy and Mecha Fighting and sonic and nick talking, things are going to get get nuts. Great Job!
I'm ngl I expected more action but I'm genuinely immersed with the story so it's really hard for me to complain. "Nick" is a really cool character the animations you use for him and the constant smirk on his face really add a lot to him. Decoy also remains cool 38:00 was so bold and the overdrive was nuts. There's just some spelling and grammar that could be fixed up here and there, but I'm excited for part 2!
Thank you for this episode, it cheered up my Christmas. you deserve all the recognition, you made it available for free for everyone to enjoy, so I just have to thank you
God I am in love eith your cinematography, its the absolute BEST in terms of sprite work on youtube right now. Character dialogue is on point, some typos here and there but the dialogues flow all works so well, you nailed their characters so well, I love what youre doing with this all! that Vandalize scene wws executed perfectly
You know a Sprite Series is, and will consistantly continue to be good, when the dark version of the main character is called "Nick". In all seriousness though, great job as always! Your animations are smooth, and I love the fact that you're placing more emphasis on the characters by making them interact with the rest of the cast. Keep up the good work man!
I've been following you for a while now and I gotta say that the work and effort you and your team put into this project is absolutely astounding. I, and maybe everybody else, love the fact that instead of re-telling the smbz plot like other curret animators, you are coming up with an original story and everything. Rarely have I ever seen any animators to hold such talent and be this consistent; but if ever would be to take a longer break, you'd be fully entitled to it. I really enjoyed that dream sequence, especially when Nick tricked Sonic into thinking that they're both in control, when Nick is actually the ""GOD"". For some reason this feels to me like a BETTER take at Sonic.exe, where sonic's consciousness is lost deep within his mind, being repressed by the one in charge, .exe. This would mean that Nick is not really the manifestation of Sonic's "repressed angst", but rather a parasite, a third party planning to take over. This is a theory I just came up with, but it would definitely make for a wild plot twist 👀 Also, have a happy new year!!!!
OH MAH LAWD! The writing, the fight scene, the script, the VARIOUS AND STYLISH use of the text. THIS SHIT BUSSIN'. I could write a college clash on how everything was done here. The pacing was immaculate. So many different stories began with Scourge, Sonic, Tails, and Decoy. HOOOOOOOOLY SHIT! The team at Franco Animation, Y'ALL ARE THE FUCKIN GOAT'S! Merry Christmas guys and have a happy new year. ¡DIOS MÍO! La escritura, la escena de lucha, el guión, el uso VARIOS Y CON ESTILO del texto. ESTA ANIMACIÓN INCREÍBLEMENTE BUENA. Podría escribir un choque universitario sobre cómo se hizo todo aquí. El ritmo fue impecable. Tantas historias diferentes comenzaron con Scourge, Sonic, Tails y Decoy. ¡SANTA MIERDA! El equipo de Franco Animation, TODOS SON LOS MEJORES DE TODOS LOS TIEMPOS Feliz Navidad chicos y feliz año nuevo.
The year of wait proved worth it once I seen the notification I rushed onto the video your the main inspiration I have to sprite animate I also love how you put scourge as “anti-Sonic” this was amazing
I love how Mecha Sonic is like “I know I messed up but I really want to just do the next task” it’s so natural yet so robotic it’s nuts :0 that’s to all the characters as well it’s so accurate to them but in a way we’ve never seen really
Wooooow dude!! You're the best sprite animator in the all time, and of course, your sprites are sooo fluid! And this history... man... is smash! Stay the focus man, never give up!
Oh my god i love nick so much, he's a breath of fresh air compared to other "inner demon" characters so far i'm loving him, he isn't just evil, he actually jokes around too and i love it. HE HAS A SPOTIFY FEATURE TOO?! THAT'S SO COOL.
That opening scene where Anti-Sonic admitted he thought Miles would ask him out was surprisingly.. sweet? He acted all tough and egotistical, sure, but hearing him be so emotionally vulnerable like that was a wonderful surprise. *Edit:* I just realized it was also foreshadowed at 3:50 ! "I'm sure you're discovering a lot of new things at your age. That's why I'm here, right?" At first I thought he was just being snarky, but he was seriously ready to support Miles in figuring out his feelings 💙💙💙 Same with that sudden "Oooh!! Everything you say?" At 5:18 He was lowkey thinking: "Oooh, now I see how he's trying to lead up to the confession." But then things turned sour after Miles insulted him, and Anti-Sonic had to "re-establish" dominance in their relationship (which is honestly kinda funny now, given the context, lol). It also probably hurt his ego to be called "slow" of all things.
I just love ur fights and the way they move is so good pls don't quite this series ur so good I can't wait for the next episode man also make sure to take a break if u ever need it!
Not bad, this series is getting better and better. Nick being well, a Sonic dark side with his cocky personality is what I expected. I can't take the scene with Miles and Scourge seriously when you have Until You're Saved in the background. I can't wait to see more of Decoy and his story.
Great animation as always, I like how with each episode, the story expands. Plus that ending fight with Decoy and Mecha was perfection. Keep up the great work.
So I've finished watching. Man my reaction to Vandalize playing was so fanboy I'm unashamed. I'm loving this. One thing I will say is that the fights feel less like the other animations out there like this. SMBZ and the such. But honestly. I kinda prefer this style. Mind you the other kind I've seen has it's merits I just prefer the slower more methodical stuff. Feels more like slightly speedier version of Sonic Battle which I adore. Makes the fights much easier to analyze and follow. Keep up the great work!
Just found your channel And gotta say Out of all the new smbz reboot such and such Your animations are the smoothest I wish you got the attention you deserved Keep it up 👍
I do hope Tails repurposes the Gizoid (Emerl) into Gemerl. Gemerl is actually one of my favorite Sonic Robots and he never gets a lot of attention in Sprite animations
Maybe I wait so long to watch it, but dossent matter it's an amazing video and animation, I like this version of scourge, looks like th one of comic books
Merry Christmas Franco Buddy, This animation is awesome, it's always great to see you're being involving as well, i will always understand if you will not sprite animate anymore at this state, but it's not that i want to Express.. it kinda hard to me saying these things as a english with second language 'cause i'm Brazzilian. About the ant sonic, it fine as hell, gladly you see him as this kind of brute and educaded as same syde about the character, i like to think scourge is just a Broken Version of sonic who is just want respect and attention who he didn't have in your childhood, about the ant mobius, it's right to think he kill the knuckles about this universe?, i dont like this way of thinking at all but is your way of thinking, its fine for me, take care and be safe. You sure did, i'm proud of you!
