Description Just thought I'd jump on the ninja bandwagon and give me some more practice at animating.

Late comment is late >.>

Personally i quite like this emote however i feel its slightly let down by the restricted canvas size throughout the emote.

The animation of the Z's is really smooth and effective however the way they get cut off so quickly above looks a little odd. personally i think they would be better shrinking, popping or fading, or just having a little more time before they vanish so the emote's canvas doesn't feel so limited.

The actual throwing off the stars is really effective. I'm glad to see you added in some rotation so they look pretty natural. However, i get pretty confused when the emote goes to collect the stars. It kind of appears to jump on top of them which would result in being impaled, but since that doesn't occur does he just stand in front of them? I find it pretty hard to see what is happening and feel it would be better to have the emote sat one space back.

Equally i then find it hard to see what it does with the stars. i can't tell if it throws one up and then catches it or just throws up both of them. The limited canvas doesn't give enough time for the audience to be able to determine the direction motion

I also think it would be nicer to have the emote jump back and fall asleep rather than jumping on and off canvas. However the way it currently is implemented works just as well.

So overall i think it has some great potential, however its not always clear what exactly is happening.

Obvious comment is obvious <.< wut?

Does seem a little confusing if you don't know exactly what happens. When he collcts the stars he hangs onto the wall next to them, and throws them up and catches them again.

idk about the canvas size, I guess I wanted a kind of panoramic linear look.
