The more I think about it the more I don't know what I think about it. I'm just gonna fire off some random notes about how I felt.

- The animation was very nice, but I don't know if I'm really feeling the art style. The more "accurately proportioned" and lanky character designs kinda rub me the wrong way, but it's probably way better for the animators, so it's whatever.

- 11 minutes is a really strict timeframe, and you can definitely feel them rushing through stuff. the whole pilot just felt like it didn't have any room to breathe, but I guess that's the struggle with trying to adapt something as dense as Homestuck.

- The voice acting was a mixed bag. I genuinely enjoyed Toby as John, and Jades VA did grow on me. Wasn't a fan on Rose and Dave's voices in the trailer, and yeah, they still don't really do it for me. Not much of a "critique" though, the VAs did a fine enough job in the pilot, its mainly just a personal preference thing. (the narrator was fucking Oney...?)

- The chemistry of the cast was a little weird to me? I don't know how to really explain this one, I just felt like the characters didn't bounce off each other as well as they do in the comic. It's a shame cause I feel like this is one of the main appeals of Homestuck for me.

Overall... I think It's okay? Kinda? It wasn't terribly bad. Its cute, at the very least.
