The animation was very well-done, despite your own misgivings. But what I really want to congratulate you on is character design. The characters are all lively and bursting with personality, so even though I didn't know who any of them were, I instantly bonded with them.
Also, I liked the comedic touch with the bouncing zombie making the "boing boing" sound effect.

I was laughing through the whole thing, as I have an interest in philosophy. I though the animation was very good, too, very clear and fluid. And it was not only funny, but informative!
Just one problem...it was too short! A few more sketches would have done it well, but I can understand that you had time constraints. Maybe a sequel should be made...

The concept and the subsequent bastardization of Watchmen through said concept was cringe-worthy, but in a good way. It made me feel horrified and violated but I still laughed my ass off.
As for the execution, it was absolutely top-notch! Perfect animation, great cinematography, an excellently lame theme song, and a great satire of cheesy 80s-90s superhero cartoons.

It sounds very much like something out of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, specifically the "Prologue" theme or "The Tragic Prince." And I think that is the one thing that makes it the most awesome.
Seriously, this would fit in perfectly with Richter Belmont smashing shit up with the Vampire Killer.

"My favorite song from AoS"
Now that I've got that out of the way...
This was pretty decent, but its biggest flaw is the lack of mastering. Everything just sound cluttered and the sound quality isn't very good at all. I'll let the lack of quality slide because you say it was due to Garageband, but I do think that the instruments just sound too muddled.
Author's Response:
Fair enough, I did this when I was 16, I'm 18 now and I l know how to do mastering, and I know I failed miserbly on this one, so yeah...
If I could I'd go back and fix it, but I don't have access to the Mac I made this on so no can do, sorry.
Anyway, If you wanna check out some good Castlevania music, Check my brother's stuff, he does some good shit (DJ-HappyFace btw)
Anyway, thanks for the review.

This has a completely different style than Michiru Yamane's original score, yet somehow remains true to the atmosphere and style. The epic rendition of "Prayer" grabbed my attention straight away, and the piano solo rendition of "Dracula's Castle" was great (I also like how neatly it segued into "The Cave." The violins playing "Prologue" was very interesting as well, I never imagined that anything could replace those flanged guitars. I also loved your rendition of "The Tragic Prince, it sounded very Danny Elfman-esque, as if it was from a Tim Burton movie.
I can think of no way this could be improved, except maybe adding a bit more of the cathedral organ (unless you don't want to take the stereotypical approach to music about vampires, that is).

Awesome review, thanks. This song was made for the real Castlevania music fans, and you are most definitely one of them! It's cool that you caught all the songs - I'm glad you enjoyed it!
