Oh wow, I cracked up at the "Oh, the one that sets houses on fire!" "NO." part. This was awesome. Acting was top-notch, and the mixing was great

The only thing I can really nit-pick about is that the manga dialogue didn't match up with the scripting. Maybe you could get the original Japanese manga instead (if you can get them), or photoshop the dialogue out/white it out.

[InuKai]

Well, this is indeed very cute. Now, let's see...

Sachibelle : I haven't read the manga, so I didn't know what to expect from Yotsuba. The fact that she sounded cute, though, should have been one of my expectations. Right on the mark!
crono4 : Being the father of a very curious child must be hard. I didn't have very specific expectations from him except to be fatherly. You did that alright.
Sapphire : Just your regular, typical policewoman. I'd rather say Police Officer because it sounds less sexist, but that's just a Hot Fuzz joke. You did great.
tomatocars : You certainly matched his curiousity with Yotsuba and her antics. Nicely done.
VoiceBox : I never heard you try to sound old before, and quite frankly, I'm impressed. Nicely done.
Sasuya : The same could be said about you. I never expected you to go a great old lady as well. Great job on this role.
All in all, it was adorable, the voice acting was superb, the sound effects matched greatly, and this sounds almost professional. 9/10

One word: adorable.

I had no idea this project was going to turn out to be so... cute. I laughed so hard when she pulled out the water pistol. Oh man, that had me going for a good two minutes or so.

Terrific mixing and the music went along perfect with the story! I'm glad to have been apart of such a well-executed project! <3

EDIT: Can you believe I'm watching it for a third time? xD

I actually used the dialogue in the manga from ADV. I thought the jokes were a lot funnier, so that explains the difference in script. I was actually thinking about doing something to the words buuuttt... That wasn't until I was near the end of mixing the video XD Ha haaa. But I shall for the next Yotsuba project :3

Thanks you guys ^^

Should I really change it to police officer then? ._.

[tomatocars]

This turned out so well!! I like how you made the video, I might have to make my next manga video the way you did with it flowing from panel to panel instead of me cutting up the page into more of a slideshow format @_@

Yotsuba - Sachibelle
Sachibelle you sounded SO cute @_@ I laughed out loud when you were like ".. I'm hungry.." XDD Great job!

Koiwai - crono04
You fit your character really well, my only complaint is that your mic quality wasn't as good as sachi's in the beginning but that isn't your fault. I wish we could all have perfect mics

Police Lady - Sapphire
Your voice really matched the police officer lady! You know when you look at a character and you hear a voice and it just sounds like it should and fits? Yeah, that's what I felt when I watched this.. if that makes sense. XD

Napkin Guy - tomatocars
Okay seriously who gives out napkins to random people? DX

Man on street, Old Man - VoiceBox
I really liked your voice for the old characters! It sounds really mature and believable unlike mine where I just sound like a guy talking in a deep voice trying to sound old @_@

Woman on street, Old Woman - Sasuya
I really liked your old woman voice but at some points it sounded more sexy than old XDD Great job nonetheless!



Mixing- like someone said earlier it was kinda distracting when the dialogue didn't match the text of the video but everything else was great! I really liked the music, it was really fitting.

[crono04]

Absolutely deLIGHTful! The sounds were done perfectly, mixing was high-quality and the moving manga was an interesting way to convey the story, though it will make it harder to keep on my iPod. And of course, THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU for bringing Yotsuba to life again!

Like last time, Sachi is Yotsuba. Energetic but not dumb, adorable but not...no, just adorable. The only complaint for her is that her probably correct pronunciation of Obon made mine sound stupid.

Sapphire was very good.

I like the napkin selling guy's voice.

Sasuya's old woman was done very well.

I really liked VoiceBox's characters. They weren't major parts, but they were still done with care and skill. His old man especially. He sounded very warm.

I really wish crono04 had done better. He seems to go to one of two extremes in his performances: suck and blow. Middle-ground, man!

EDIT: Can you believe I'm watching it for a third time? xD

Very, very easily.

[Sasuya]

Thanks for the comments you guys! ^^

And Yotsuba is pretty much alive. Just very slow on the outputs. I have another chapter that I'm in the process of animating =]

[Sapphire]

Aww, this was very cute. I never got past the first volume of this series, but after seeing this I probably should think about getting the second one.

[Ducky Patterson]

I really liked that . Good job everyone . Look forward to the next one ^^
