That's wonderful you were able to watch it on cartoon network after the original airings. And someone else commented on this, but it bears repeating: PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: interlaced video uploaded to vimeo and youtube makes wonderful things look significantly less wonderful. Please be considerate. Deinterlace. Anonymous #9, don’t make me put on my old person hat and tell you how R&S came to us originally.

Really would like to see more. Really neat neo/retro style. Also, take note from this and other pics of his, I see the artist has an appreciation for the "Music Synthesizer". The design might be fantasy, but the knobs "Pitch, Mod" and such are for real. Since I do music a lot these days, I'm sometimes up late tweaking a lot of small settings to coax just the right sound out both with software and with hardware. That is the final factor that really sold me on liking this show and wanting to see more episodes:-) I like this cartoon a LOT!

The title could stand to be more exciting. But as soon as anyone sees the episode playing, they'll like it. It should be the first cartoon on the Make Magazine channel. Makers, Modifyers?

I want to know more about the cosmology of this world. Why is the Baron stealing stuff, and are the Modifyers part of the police? A secret government department? A rival thieving gang? Okay, so that's hard to get into in 12 minutes but for a pilot it's lacking in (forced) exposition. One wonders why the rat works for the baron when any minor slip-up will get him fed to the fish-monster. It looks like screwing up is in the rat's nature so why hasn't he been digested a long time ago? Great character design and art, nice animation (it lands exactly between the hyper-gross Ren & Stimpy style and the overly angular Powerpuff Girls style), but the plot needs a bit of spit and polish.

The artwork's channeling a huge dose of Ren and Stimpy, nice nods to Poe, and sound engineering. It certainly beats what Nick's actually comissioning. Just a couple of minor gripes, though. One- did the application of Chekhov's Gun with the ring-communicator-thingy have to be so blatant, and two- if they wanted the main character to have an English accent, then why not use a voice actor with an English accent, rather than have an American try to fake one, which inevitably goes rather Australian in places.

I haven't seen Powerpuff girls in years, and then only a couple of episodes, but I remember it being pretty surreal and off the wall, so I wonder why this was passed on? Flimsy main badguy perhaps. I like the idea of the rat character who is everyone's whipping boy, he reminded me a lot of mutley. It had a bit of a wacky races feel to it. That was very entertaining.
