["It's Worth It"]

Looks Like Somebody Needs....

....Art lessons, and animation lessons to boot! Please do not be afraid to do a little hand drawn sequence here and there. Try to draw you characters with much more proportionate anatomy. Also note the scene with the trees and the horse chasing(not all trees are on the ground). I did find the Predator cameo to be a little funny. Just who is the girl anyway? A witch or some soldier of some kind? "Tank!" is a great jazz bop masterpiece from one heck of an anime serial, Cowboy Bebop.

[Ariel's High Sorcery 1of3]

Breathtakingly Short.

To make a short story short. Some girl(Mage in training) practices anatomical contruction. She tries to enlogenate here fingers, but a it is a tad too hard on her wee little joints. So she mana dyes(magically recolors) her hair. The Result are sucessfull and she is eager to show her friend her new tricks. Once again this is a beautifully illustrated fantasy world. I like how it is all cute, innocent, and etheral right now. Please note, if you ever depict your characters battling things, be sure to use some sweet had drawn sequences.

[Master & Cat clean kitchn]

Great Artstyle.

The look of this flash is very clean and shiny. It is wonderfully illustrated. I do question the animation, but otherwise the characters have a distinct look that can only be done by a master fantasy artist. Now a criticism I have would be directed to your storyline. Yes, the characters were interesting, but you need to develop a deep, thought provoking piece of drama. However, if you were going for a silly, but fun filler episode you suceeded in that. Keep in mind that fillers kill series if done one too many. Afterall, it happened to Inuyasha and Pokemon. Speaking of which, that cat reminds me of Meowth. Hmmmm, I now question the originality of this piece. Enjoy your score.

[rtil's trad animation '06]

Goodness Gracious! This Animation is Supreme.

No doubt about it, this is a superb example of how an elite toon is animated. It is soft, rubbery, and fluid. It rivals everything seen on tv. These tests are compatable for an old age animated Disney film. I have not seen much fine animation as this. The way that pillow breaks through the trampoline, the walking style that remiscent of steamboat willie(perhaps better). The way that guy sneaks by that monster. The bottle and the tidal wave! Not to forget, the way that guy talks and reacts in the dialogue test, never before have I seen so much life in a toon these days. If there is a way to improve this fine collection of raw fluid gems of animated life, would be to color them. You have a great menu design too.

[Star Day 2007: Sinitronic]

Psychedelic and Halfbaked Tribute.

You guys should be animating your well drawn avatars, rather then just phazing them in and out. It was however a standard and passable Star Day celebration fit to kick off the night and get the party started.

Sinitron responds:

what do you mean halfbaked fuCKER THIS WAS AWESOME

[Blue Hair Is Cool]

Plain Boring Spam.

A real Crom joke would have done nicely. Otherwise it is just a kindergarten greeting card with fancy fireworks.

[go little dude!]

My Constructive Criticism for the Author

Don't use sticks. Try to master animation with other anatomical forms. Make them do the cool atheletic tricks you had the stick do. Use close ups and different camera angles too in later movies. Otherwise I say you have a decent animation for now.

xbutton responds:

thank you for the advice

I had already been thinking my next one would have full people rather than sticks.

[Awesome Video Games - Ep5]

Rad, but Fails in Demolishing My Gut with laughter

We have all laughed at terrible games before, but not so much at instructional videos that tried to help us in playing them. While Angry Video Game Nerd swears at bad games, these acid washed dudes try to give out tips and bounce back amatuerishly between gameplay footage and themselves in an embarassing fashion. This is very remiscent of those terrible videos youngsters had to sit through. Thank goodness we have gamesfaqs today. My gripe is that this video is a little too remiscent of those videos and it borders on reenactment rather then satire, but at least I really liked intro. You should do a segment where you parody the U.S. Videogame Team's technique for defeating this certain boss in Blaster Master(throw a grenade at it, hit pause as it explodes, and have the kids sit through aproximately 10 minutes of pause)

FarFromSubtle responds:

That sound slike one intense tip dude! Thanks for the awesome review, and thanks for watching!

[Happy Dream]

Genuine Masterpiece.

To make a short story short, some skeleton plushy doll guy sheds his entire calcium compound pact of skin off his already skinless(not to mention eyeless) self to reveal his mind. His mind grows a flower and the flower sprouts himself in a bizzare reincarnation turnabout...That is not the point however. The point is that each frame of this movie was painted with loving hands that cared to take time with production. It showcases paternal affection inside and outside. Thats why people should take their time off to view this movie. It's so short, but it will capture the heart of everyone.

[The Wii Collab II]

Sigh... I Want a Wii so badly...

As for your toon, I am not impressed. A lot of you have been very lazy in the making of this collab of Wii Satire as Muffin honestly admits. Still I find some of this funny. I did like Fat Badger's rendition of Zekey as an action figure. Your Mii Group photo was friendly and warm. The Nintendo menu music fitted nicely as well. As for Zekey's unecessarily long and rushed part, the "Wade is a Nazi" joke is reaching its point of climax, but it was fun to see Wade playing out his fantasy through the wonderful VR world the Wii brings.
