The body bounces very unnaturally.  Even if you were going for an exaggerated style, it doesn't, in my eyes, even seem to give the semblence of movement (running/jogging/ect), but that her body simply disappears into her head for whatever reason.  The legs are one of the key problem areas, since they just simply move up and down.  Try using a lighter color to suggest a knee bend where it is appropriate, and I think the animation will improve greatly.

I disagree... I think it looks like she's skipping... but each to their own I suppose...

Thanx for all the comments! :)
Ok, I will probably keep the soldier as a minor character or something like that. Just gotta do some changes on the design.

I especially want to thank you, baccaman. I'll try to take in every single word of advice. Really like what you did to the hair, and just LOVE the ponytail animation! ;D

The animation is made intentially to be like that. I don't think running should be too smooth. And, yeah I was trying to make it look like she's skipping.
