[1] Five webcomics were announced to begin production under the company; Bravoman, Xevious, Sky Kid, Rocket Fox, and Alien Confidential: Black and White.

[2] To increase their viewer base, ShiftyLook regularly attended fan conventions in their own booth, where they featured artists behind some of their comics as well as merchandise.

[6] The shutdown was announced by company executive Casy Casoni, who said that ShiftyLook "battled the video games abyss and won, which means it's time for us to move on and let the hit-makers play with some new toys."

Writing for Publishers Weekly, Calvin Reid felt that ShiftyLook "looks to have failed overall" as only a few properties, namely Bravoman, Wonder Momo, and Katamari, had reached the success the company had hoped for.

[8] Rich Johnston of Bleeding Cool believes that financial difficulties were to blame for the company's downfall, despite the creative talent and marketing push behind it.

Moylan stated that Bandai Namco likely invested too much money into ShiftyLook up front and that plans to monetize its productions did not materialize until it was too late.
