i think the characterisation is charming. i like john in particular, dave i think is an interesting case - i think if they get greenlit and upgrade to longer episodes ill be more down for it. i want him to talk more lol, but his character considering the medium is Good Overall imo. i do wish he had a texas accent though. dont take the houston from the guy, youve already cut his rants!
i wish jade had more screentime. the space cadet joke was A+ but i want to see more of her. again, i think this is a time constraint issue more than anything else.
rose, for me, was 10/10. she feels exactly like the rose i remember loving when i started act 1 for the first time ever. i can see why some of it bothered people though, especially because she wasn't given the screentime to be silly. but i also have to remind myself that 11 minutes is really really REALLY short, especially for a proof of concept when you have to cram in that yes, you can make pesterlogs an animated conversation and of course you can show a strife, character design proof for the trolls and mayor and hussie etc.
