Joshua:

It feels like there's something here that could have been good, but it feels like it was seriously restrained as if you turned the dial from a 8 down to 2.

The body movements are incredibly subtle a little more aligned with the idea of a gentle talk between two dating individuals rather than an individual who's going through a mental crisis of realizing she said something ridiculous.

The mouth barely moves at all, enough to convey that she's speaking but not showing any emotion in her words.

The crab is just distracting not sure why its in there.

the guy at the end however was well done, his body and facial expressions were pretty good, but then it begs the question why does the female feel so restrained?

John Alston:

It's not perfect, but has that nice "Twin Peaks" meets "Pixar" quality.

Melanie Corrales:

Your animation is so cute! I think maybe fixing the lip syncing on the character to open their mouth a bit more and look like they’re speaking a bit more might help
Further push your animation. Also love the crab!
