I don't know why people are getting worked up on his first animation? Your animation was basically effects with little movements and resizing. I wouldn't recommend using that effect too much, it's mostly for the collision of swords, and can give irritatingly fast inverses. Work on movements, like walking, running, jumps; your probably already experienced with these, but watch out for resizing. There is not too many people that are experienced animators on this forum, so don't think your already a great animator because their comments say you are -_-. I would slow down the duration a little for the sword effect, and not use a effect with every swing.
