flowing

is my next type of aniamtion...i mean...i have been trying and trying to flow my animations...but they come out robotic...so i have done some trials...and learning to give my work more flow and realism...crits would be wonderful...chop it up as much as you can

its ok, heres my crit

his torso and bodie need to move more, at the moment they are basically in the same place.

when someone runs, their hips turn left and right with the legs, and also up and down, the up and down movement will make it look more flowing

Lacks weight; keep in mind physics when animating: gravity, inertia, friction...
Once you get that right you can begin to add the things that make good animation come true, character, feelings and all that jazz.

The center of mass (hip) should describe a waving motion, up and down. That will add weight, add some shock absortion by the torse with each step, the spine bends and curls a bit to absorb the impact.
