Shaun is at times, slightly wooden, but in my personal opinion, Michael is a fucking tremendous actor. I was so engrossed in his near-monologue about the psych ward. Even having been on the inside of one at some point myself, my suspension of disbelief didn't even require effort to come to me.
I love that they didn't say "insane asylum" or any of the terms that a person who's never actually been in one would say, like I so often see. Anybody who's been committed would call it a psychiatric ward or a mental hospital at worst.
I also love the ending for obvious reasons. This is the best newcomer series I've seen in a while. A shiny apple and a gold star for MLA, for sure.

You seem to have gotten me pegged. I'm sorry.
Does this picture of Jack Nicholson make it better?

What did I say, Shaun was being coached in the Shaun video. Where is my $20?
I really liked this entry for multiple reasons. Yes, Slender Man looked a little... nylon-y in the facial area, but I'll forgive it. This series is obviously running on no budget at all so you work with what you got. Michael makes this series. He knows how to emphasis the right words, the pacing is great, the connection and visual drilling into Shaun is perfect for someone trying to get someone to confess. The fighting was clunky and disjointed just like it most often is in real life. Anyone who has been in a real fight (and I've been quiet a few) will now that it always leads to tusselin' and in such a cramped space! Well done, guys.
Overall grade for this entry: 4.5/5

Got myself hooked on this last night, only just finished watching them all this morning. I wanted to say something original in the positive department, but it's all been said in previous posts in this thread.
All I can add is this, from the beginning I think Michael has been a very sympathetic character (all credit to the good acting). I can see a potential descent into madness that will outshine Evan and Noah's batshit insane outbursts. And before anyone asks, I did see the last installment, I think we have potential for a 200% meltdown.

I'm gonna agree with Vivi on this :3
So, for this video, I summed it up as follows: OH, A DARK ALLEY, SOUNDS FUN.
Dat head-tilt.

Fuck! That was legitimately one of the creepiest Slender Man's I've seen, the way it was
Spoiler:
leaning over the fence! I'm speechless, that was amazing! And where the hell did Shaun go? First he's miraculously back then missing agai- Just as I was typing that I got a theory. The last video may have been from the future when Shaun was found, but what about Erik...?

I am so in love with this series it isn't funny.
Spoiler:
Also, not gonna lie-- when Slendy poked his head up behind the door? Was not expecting that. I jumped.
These guys seem to cruise the forums, at least. They've picked up on the complaints a lot of SlenderFans have had about various series, and they're playing with the mythos some. So yeah, totally in love~

That was marvellous.

Is it just me, or does that flat note in the background remind anyone else of the sound when someone's pulse flatlines in the hospital? Weird.

...oh yes.
My love for this series continues to grow. I think this is the first time I've jumped at a vlog entry since...ah, since I first discovered MH.
Slender, why you be in people's backyards, bending their fences. That's so rude.

Jeezbawls. Well yeah, that freaked me out a good bit. I'm growing to love how their Slender Man looks more and more. Great series, solid entry

That is exactly what I thought when I finished watching the new video. Just absolutely spactacular!
These guys have got it. I am officially a very pleased fan.

MLAndersen has now become a serious player, like they weren't before..
Can't help get the feeling, especially after this latest entry, that the sub-heading of this series should eiither be "How to make a Masky" or "The lighter side of Slender Man: A back alley troll".

Thirded. Their Slendy may not be the most spectacular ever, but the intent and ideas driving this vlog series is beautiful. I am extremely pleased with the newest entry.

They put an April fools video up on Unfiction. The Andersen Journals: The Movie Fucking Died laughing.
That was amazing. He is amazing. THEY are amazing. I WANT A SLENDER SHOULDER MASSAGE.
The fact that MLAndersen is an anagram for slenderman BLEW MY MIND. and I should feel like a tard for not catching on sooner. brilliant shit gets more and more brilliant every day. By the way, my previously unstated gaydar pinging has pinged too loud during the watching of this video for me to not mention so here. I'm just saying.
My only complaint is that we've seen too much of his slenderman in good lighting up close before the series even ends. The horrifying effect he has is going to be so diminished after this, even if the lolz had just now were worth it.

I am so sorry, but that April Fools video has destroyed it for me. I noticed it was on their alternative site where they have a few comedy sketch videos up...That has killed the mood for me just by seeing it. I love watching these things while completely enveloped in what is happening. How the fuck am I supposed to take something I enjoyed seriously now?
Angry old fart feeling very, very pissed off.

You see it to? For me, it is always like this. My best friends and I were all giggling since we are the Gayfecta (One is gay, one is bi and one is lesi). Still love him though. I love my feminine men. And thin... this explains so much about me. Perhaps too much. I may have to kill you all now.
And to be on topic, I love it. Also, that cracked mirror=psyche scene, lush. That needs to be in the series. Just sayin'.

Was testing out to see if i could make some .GIFs from youtube videos and since the MLA april fools video happened to be the first thing that popped out at me in my favorites, its what I practiced on.
Mostly just tried it out on some lulzy moments. Anybody can feel free to use them for whatever you please. Not horrible for a first try, but I hope to get better resolution in future attempts. It's at least bearable.
