Anthony Saves The World: Episode 1.3: This Future

[Taynas]

These are getting better and better. Also, they didn't say that Pokemon cards caused the end of the world. They say that the surviving generation needed some form of currency so they fight amongst themselves for what cards remain. Surviving being the key word as in something cause most people to be dead.

YES !!!!!

I knew there was a reason I held on to all my old Pokemon cards (serious I still have like 5 binder full in my closet)

MY CHILDREN SHALL LIVE LIKE KINGS

all kidding aside this is an awesome show and I can't wait for more.

I've seen three episodes and failed to see much in terms of critique in any comment thread. I guess I am one of the few people that don't find this particularly good.

Few things I don't like:
-Awkward division of the script into episodes.
-(Obviously due to the small nature of the project) It's only about a dude shooting another dude. Feels empty.
-Trying to look epic without actually being epic. Which leads to...
-Effects (sound+visuals) could be much better as proven by Doomsday and Knight's.

-Also, future looks suspiciously same. Let's skip the discussion about reality (it has time travel, ninjas, demons- that is fine) and go straight to the point. Look at the progress that the architecture did in the past 30 years. 167 years in the future ought to have different doorknobs at least.


I will keep on watching as I still don't find it as unbearable as The Legends of The Seeker and I bet it used much less money.

Opinions, opinions. Speaking of which, to voice mine, I'm loving this series.

I'm glad you cut the fight scenes down a bit, and there's a clear contrast between the present and the future visually, so that was all good. I'm not sure where the issue with the sound's are coming from; granted, some dialogue and sound effects could use a little bit of volume control, but it doesn't seem like anything major.

Can't wait for next episode!

I feel sorry for Marine Evans. Being looted is never fun...

BTW, the dust cover on your rifle is supposed to be open when you're firing.

Apart from the seemingly ever-present technical flaws like the one above, I thoroughly enjoy your show; a fresh and greatly entertaining addition to the Escapist. I admire your ability to make such a high quality show even on a supposedly low budget. Acting, plot, props, effects, lighting and sound are all up to a standard I would not have expected. I look forward to see you continually develop and refine your show.

Keep up the great work!

Second time I've seen this ep and I still love it. Thanks for the laugh guys. The pokemon card thing cracks me up.

Dare I add that I am freaking excited for an ep I haven't seen next week!

Ok. Fairly interesting episode ending actually. Time travel fun stuff. The body thing kind of reminded me of '12 Monkeys'.
But wait... He found his own body after 167 years from the 'now' timeline in the 'future' timeline laying there just like that and it was in a state that made it possible for him to notice it was him. Cause that's the most obvious thing that anyone would think even considering he finds a 167 year old body wearing clothes that looks like yours. That ain't a guy dressed like me, it has to BE me. Because that's the only way I can think of that he could use to identify a body by just looking at it after it being exposed for 150+ years.
But enough of me being annoying...
Wait wait wait...
So how has the world ended if it still exists and there are people running around it?
I'm not expecting the movie to have great effects or props, or anything like this if it's a low-budget series like this, but for Spaghetti-Monster sake, at least make the plot not have major logical holes making me "Wait, what?" while watching.
Apart from that, it still stands up for itself, yet it felt kind of too short - not much really happened here this time.
And Pokemon cards made me lol.

So the world is going to be saved by a rabbi. Interesting.
Waiting for moar

 

[ZombieGenesis]

I knew I started buying pokemon cards again for a reason I'm gonna be a rich man.

 

[rokkolpo]

So you died, yet you didn't...so you did...but you won't!

But it is 167 years after the end of the world. Eps 1 tells us the now is 47 days until the end of the world. So the real question is not why does the house still looks the same but more why is it still in such a good condition after 167 years of probably not being cared for anymore.

Glimpse into the future that Anthony is trying to prevent. In this very special episode of Anthony Saves the World, Anthony does his best to understand just how desperate and doomed that future actually will be. Also, Mikey reveals a dark secret about what he finds in their house and explains the monetary system of the future!

You were right, this episode was way better. Loved the "5 Starmies". Also the super special awesome plot twist.

 

[Hamster at Dawn]

As others have said, the sound needs to be fixed. But otherwise, this is still looking promising. I will say that the whole masked gunman thing is getting a bit repetitive though.

 

[Jackle_666]

I knew Anthony Burch had an Ego on him but God damn!

 

[The Hungry Samurai]

I wonder if Mikey is Berzerker, Siren, Soldier, or Hunter...

I'm leaning towards the last two but I haven't seen him whip out a sentry gun yet.

 

[Thy Doctor]

I have a feeling that the demon master is Ashley

 

[munsterman]

Where did that sweet Borderlands Raider Mask come from?
I would love to know how they made it. I've been dying to a prop project for next Dragon*Con.

Watch Video

Why would you crack that many glow-sticks and then throw em all away? Glow sticks don't come cheap! They're a Pikachu-a-piece in the future!

OT: Great video. Could've used a bit more editing in After effects in that fight scene. It still looks too "pretend cowboys and indians" to me.

From the description:

"It takes the best aspects of science fiction and effortlessly mutates them into something that cannot be deemed "science" or "fiction.""

I beg to differ. This is science fiction with a VERY interesting spin. To attempt and muddle terminology for literary effect, however, is unnecessary.

 

[Joe Deadman]

Also, the Borderlands dude should have said "Heyooo" before getting shot.

STEEEVE NOOOOOOOO! HE HAD 18 CHILDREN YOU MONSTER!!!

But yeah what the hell was he going to do with that many starmies?

Anyway can't wait to see where this show is going.
