...interesting...
It's confusing, even after watching the first one. The backgrounds need some help and variance... Or no, maybe just a bit darker. It looks a lot like Jhonen Vasquez-esque work. You read Squee?
Also, it's a bit flat, story-wise. It needs more flash or something to it. Don't spend to much time with slow, doomy approaches and whatnot, spend more time on actual story. Pictures are fine and pretty, but stories make or break an animation.
