I'm enjoying seeing more animations on this forum. Glad to see collaboration as well.

Imgur doesn't help, but color meshing is due to so many colors in the gif format.
And blur absolutely destroys a restricted color format; as what was once around dozens of colors - will be hundreds if not thousands.
You can try to play around with the color reduction algorithm when exporting, but I'm not confident that'll help too much here.

I'd say that it's important to keep things consistent; formatting, typography, and spacing.
Always pay attention to your spacing, font size, and layout - otherwise, it can begin to look unorganized.
I've spent a little bit to provide an example toward that middle part, but in the future I'd work on applying this to all sections.

Looking at the current - there are some issues with separate elements being uneven.

Each of these sections has a unique starting point, I'd recommend reducing this to tidy and create an overall cleaner look.

Rough example:

Now on the animation front, it's clean motion overall. However, keeping the animation of each element consistent makes it feel unnatural.
Oddly enough, if you add more inconsistencies to animation - it tends to feel a bit more organic.
For example, adding a delay to each section's (top, middle, bottom) initial move into the composition can help create a more fluid effect.
Rather than the stiff, all in one sliding motion that's currently happening.

Now - the wobbles when it all comes in; I love, love, love, love the wobbles. But you have to give me more - please!
It does take some work to get the timing right when winding down - but it's so worth it in the end.

Also, the loop's transition pacing seems a bit abrupt - don't be afraid of an empty composition for a few more frames.
That immediate bounce back just seems a bit too fast.


Overall, it could use some more love - but it's a great base to build and improve on going forward.
