[Alucard's Creek Ep03]

You Know Humour!

No matter which of your toons I watch, I'm always guaranteed something funny. The voiceover for the WB announcer is spot on. Great stuff as always!

[Castlevania SoTN Alt Pro]

Hilarious As Always!

Not only is the sprite animation smooth and the sound phenomenal, but I can't get over how cleverly you can still make poop and fart jokes hilarious! Awesome stuff! Keep it comin'!

[Mario's Rage (GHAD)]

HILARIOUS!

Your sprite animation is smooth, your storytelling is solid and the humour had me laughing out loud. I usually hate "the creator was lazy" jokes because they're so cheap, but you took it to a level that made it funny. Your sound dropped a bit here and there, but, overall, this is a great piece. Best of luck on your next project!

Needs Work

The Good: The sprites and sound! The sprite customizing was done pretty well and the backgrounds looked great. When there was sound and sound effects, they worked well.

The Bad: Animation! In the opening scene, there are two moving sprites, but they float a bit too much. Find a solid anchor point for them so when they're supposed to be moving in place, they stay in the same spot. There is also hardly any real animation to be found in this piece; there are too many static figures which makes it boring to look at.

The Ugly: Pacing! This piece would also benefit a great deal from voice acting. The story drags too much and becomes very boring. Having to space bar between all the dialogue only makes it worse. Even if you don't have a mic, check the Voice Acting Club in the Clubs and Crews forum. They'll be able to send you sound files you can simply add to your cartoon once you send them the script with some direction on how to read the lines. A good voice actor could help make your cartoon more interesting.

I can appreciate the effort and the story you're trying to tell, but this piece falls short. I wish you the best of luck on your next project.

Thanks for the review, yes i do have a mic but voices will be a change in the flash and most people may not like it.

Pretty Good

The toon wasn't too shabby. The animation was slick, the sprites were crisp, the story was well paced and Mom's voice acting / recording was good and clear. The humour, when it worked, was pretty funny. Whoever sent you Ash's lines should back up off the mic at least one hand width, it'll cut down on the distortion. The actor who gave you the old man dialogue should send out his files as loud as possible so the Flash artists could figure out how they want to level it. All in all, not bad work. I'm looking forward to your next project!

[Megaman Missions]

Well Done!

The animation is smooth, the sprites are clear, the pace is good and I give you points for using voice actors instead of subtitles.

Things to look out for next time are spelling & grammar ("arose", "assassinate", "above", etc), the intro pics were a bit on the dark side and the lip-synching didn't match a couple of times.

All of that said, this is a solid piece of good work! I applaud your use of earlier Megaman sprite designs and your ability to produce dynamic fight scenes. I look forward to the next chapter. Best of luck on the series!

I Think I Hurt Myself ...

... from laughing so hard! This is one brilliantly hilarious piece, but I've come to expect no less from you. The sprites are perfectly animated, the story and action are well paced and the sound is spot on and clear. Your work is a great example of how good sprite cartoons can be. Keep up the great work!

[Mega Force OP]

Nostalgia Alert!

I literally stumbled across this submission. I'm sad to see it's almost a year later and there aren't any episodes. You seemed to have a good idea here. I have to admit, I was also excited because I thought I was the only one who had the Mega Force toys! I'm glad to see someone liked 'em enough to animate a short about them.

It was a good opening. I totally got what you were going for with the seemingly out of place music. I've seen too much anime that has hearts being ripped out, heads bashed in and limbs being torn off only to have the end song speak of lost love and sweet memories. WHAT?!

I think you have a good eye for visual storytelling and the chops to be a good animator. Please continue even if it's not with this particular project; don't let your talent go to waste.

Cheers!

Not Too Shabby

This was short, to the point and cute. The Jell-O tentacle animation was pretty shweet! Be sure to stream your sound next time and you'll be alright. Good stuff!

[Rainy Days]

Promising

I dig the art style and your ability to establish mood in a direct and simple way. The walk cycle needs work and you could have expanded on the story a bit. You've got talent. I wish you the best of luck on your next project
