Mono sprites

[Hate]

I would like to know what do you think about these animations.
Do they look "alive" //Have enough movement, not so robotic and more like human and stuff.
//frames 1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,3,2
//frames 1,1,2,3,4,4,1,1
Please share your opinion with me.
Since I am trying to "invent" the "perfect flow" which would look like kind a realistic and smooth with just few different frames.

the hand mouvements on the first one are abit weird.
the second one is flawless.

edit: a frame on the second one feels missing.
