This is probably the best flash animation I've seen in donkeys - not so much because of it's visual content which is relatively impressive, but just because of how well it's done overall - there is real mood to it and it tells a story.

Kinda obvious story if you ask me... They gave away the answer with that first phonecall.

It's well done, but it's extremely derivative.

Ow, screw you. I don't like it when they give away answers in the beginning. Period. No matter how good they set the mood, do the rest of the story or do the animations, it ruins the entire thing for me.

And quite frankly, I wasn't even replying to 'the point'. I gave my opinion.

I saw it on NG a week or so ago, never bothered to watch due to the file size and my lack of patience.  Sounds like a winner though.

PS: Watch a nice little movie called "Smile!" when you get the chance, my all time fav.

err...i don't get it. maybe i'm just bad at this, but i can't see how they gave away the story. i have no idea what's going on. Tiara, PM me the answer, or put it in spoilers.

Or you could just wait for the next episodes and find out for yourself. I don't think they actually wanted people to figure the whole thing out on the first episode...

Why don't you two put down what you think is going to happen in spoilers, so you can't just claim you knew all along when it does arrive? :p

Elliot.. the name on the phone... What relevance does it have?
Or is this meant to be a vision as you die story?
