You guys still have a spot open for Glenn?
Yes, Glenn/Frog is still currently open. However, we will not be casting him until we hit preproduction for Episode 7.
It was pretty impressive to have recieved such a response to my review. I wasn't trying to come off as a angry reviewer XD I had to try my best to put everything I wanted in under 4,000 words (And 22 episodes is a lot to write about in under 4000 Characters XD) So apologies if you felt you had to defend yourself, I was only being a harsh critic.
I understand where you're coming from. I don't mean to sound sinister when I was typing I just took a couple things differently than most. Everyone has their own tastes and views to what Chrono Trigger Unglued and what artists themselves are saying. I am glad to have had that clear up Cryo is still in and he's just a bit difficult to hear from, but being married and in or fresh out of college- life can be time consuming. Fans will not mind the wait if a finished product goes above what they expect (Such as recent Super Mario Bros. Z- It took 16 months to come out! But is still one of the top ranking flashes of all time). So don't feel pressured in releasing episodes in a really fast manner. Take your time, and make it to the standards that you and Cryo can agree on.
I do appreciate the quick and really informative response, I don't think i've had anyone take so much effort into actually sitting down and talking about what a fan has said. It's kinda cool feeling really. XD
Thanks a lot for the response, and I look forward to new episodes!

@Starogre: There is too a sequel, dumb fuck.

Anyway, I'm going to kick you over some lines more than likely. I just want to get the idea for the cat going correctly...kind of like Ninja-Ninja from Afro Samurai maybe
Someone on my forum also suggested Jerome from Family Guy as a good fit, but your idea sounds good too. Ultimately, execution is more important than the idea. I eagerly anticipate your submission.
Ok i'm gonna try for this too!
The more, the merrier! Also, there will be more parts open next episode.
Hmmmm stupid question: what are the terms and stuff? like do we say who we want to voice then say the lines given then submit them in mp3 format? I just want to make sure so I don't look stupid since I really enjoy the CTU series a whole lot.
You name the file yourname_charactername.mp3, and in it you read all of the lines listed (multiple times, if you want). That's all there is to it. Quite a few people have tried for cat so far, but we're always willing to see if someone else can be even better. I only said that to let you know there's a lot of competition for cat, but there will be more opening for more spots in future episodes.
are you still casting for crono or is it to late now
Casting for episode 1 is closed, casting for episode 2 will begin shortly after episode 1 goes up on Youtube (which will be soon).

Why talk down about Cyro? I loved the way he did the series before "Ultra Publications" came in. His lines were witty, often reflecting some things most fans thought to themselves. I sorta liked it more than the episodes after he stopped being the sole producer. Chrono Trigger Unglued sort of lost its spark to me after it started being more "What can we put here?" and less "What's something about the game that we can poke fun at?" such as the cat that seemed to be everywhere, and revives. I loved how he brought in the cat who seemed to be everywhere at once and showed us what he could be thinking or just what he's doing.
Chrono Trigger Unglued is a great series still, but it's so off topic at times I feel it's its own series and not really about Chrono Trigger. It took him 10 Episodes to get to the Jail arc, and injected so much humor into it (The Trial was priceless), but now we're at episode around 23 and only now escaping? With about 4 episodes with nothing to do with Chrono Trigger and half of the time on something completely off topic. Lucca being late can be true if you're escaping yourself so it can be linked to the plot, but I other things like Lucca's Dad and Chrono's Mom's adventure episode had any relevence.
I think the little additions that were thrown in like Voices, and Drawing animations added some little sparks but I don't know if voicing every episode will give the same humor as reading. As there some some things that only fans can see that voicing might miss.
I'm not bashing Chrono Trigger Unglued, I just wanted to put my thoughts on what you were saying about Cryo and such. Your post came off as more of an ego-booster for yourself, and putting down the old animator. Cryo did amazing things that I don't think we'll ever see anymore. While "Sprited Together" I didn't particularly like, I did like the explanation to why Fritz was in jail.
Both producers of CTU have their own unique touches, you should understand fans are split about the new management. Apologies if I'm coming off as rude, I thought since I haven't reviewed CTU in a loooong time i'd put my thoughts down here since I have the chance.
I am looking forward to future episodes and to see how you play out the team finding Robo, so keep up the work! (I'd love to have that Marle Caramell as an Avatar one day! XD I'd love if you could somehow post it!)
Thanks for your time,
Matt

The fact of the matter is, Cryo has written every episode since day 1 except for Episode 15 (his official retirement from writing will begin with Episode 24).
While I did change some things by adding more animation and production values, he was the ultimate arbiter of everything and had already written 11 through 14 before I took over as animator. I think he is a wonderful writer, and I never would have cared to keep CTU going if I didn't love his work. However, shortly after I came on board, he began dissapearing for long stretches regularly. The only reason I wrote 15 to begin with was because no one had seen him in a long time and we had at first thought he was dead.
Also, Cryo was the one who moved to stopped doing jokes that were based off using the exact dialogue of the games. In Episode 18 there was originally to be a joke about the fact that Marle told the guards to leave Lucca and Crono alone, but specifically said "This is my friend". Note the singular, despite the fact she was referring to two people. Cryo wrote it out of the script during the revision process, and when the rest of us argued that it should be left in he became adamant. Although I changed some things, which is undeniable, Cryo himself was also changing just as I got on board.
Furthermore, Cryo still is part of the creative staff and is regularly making decisions about the future of CTU... when he actually shows up. If I seem frustrated these days, it's just that he doesn't show up at all anymore. I respect his work greatly, and wish he was giving us more help than he is right now.
Also, I will gladly send you those sprites if you give me an e-mail address to send them to.
