[Wildguard: The Trailer]

Animation was Good But

Ugh this did NOT appeal, I mean I'm all for those fantasy sword swinging potion drinking golem killing movies and games but this just looked unapealing. Looks like serious sam picked up a sword and travelled to volcano land. However the animation was Pretty good and honest effort is shown. I'll give you a 7/10.

[Pelican!? - Kitchen]

Hahahah! Watch the sink!

LOL! Very good randomness but it took a good look at the sink area to undertsand and most people don't usually look there to begin with, oh well nice job just make the overall story more obvious next time!

[T E T R I S ' D : Rising]

Extremly Dissapointing

Holy shit. You've sold out, I saw this coming, it's like mdness it was cool at first now you're trying to give a random cool animation a story, a purpose and make it a series. Stop before your videos go downhill, the creativity is just gone, it's like a rip off of every alien movie ever with tetris blocks. I have to say, you have definatley sold out. I'm very dissapointed I thought this series could actually be good. I geuss not.

[Taxi Cab]

LOL Not bad but one major issue,

Actually two issues, and they're not very major. Hah. To start with the good news, it's well animated, shading looked ok, very colourful although quallity of background wasn't great looked good, very smooth animations which I liked. Problems were that is was hard to understand maybe due to lack of expressions, scenes or dilauge resulting in lack of humour. Other problem well it's only kinda a problem, ahah, umm every newcomer to flash knows from the start SFX are important. They make half the enjoyabillity, epsecially ifyou're aiming for a cintamatic effect. Which you werent here but I'm just simply noting that, anyway, SFX is good but only if it's fitting. I recognized the Counter Strike bomb difusal noise when the guy opened his eyes, hahahah! Good try jsut make the plot easier to undertsand and get more fitting sfx.

alafraga responds:

Well, I usually animate stick figures instead of people. I am a newcomer the that genre of flash.

[Mawesome Effect]

Hahaha! Great interpritation, accurate too,

Hahaha! Great interpritation on Wrex, accurate on some parts too, (unfortunatley.) Keep up the great animation only suggestion is a little less blurring to stop lag but great job for what it is! :D:D:D:D

[District 9]

Nope, good try but nope.

Sorry, you can't steal chris o'ielle's franchise of spongebob sickpants, left 4 speed and the sicksons that easily. Be unique don't copy other people, the animation wasn't bad, well not too bad anyways, the voices, sucked but whatever, the humour wasn't funny at ALL and lastly you lied to 'Mr. Starz as you call him.' You say you started this before left 4 speed came out but nope, l4s came out Janruary 2nd 2009, District 9 the film itself came out August 14th 2009. So you lose. Try to make something original, put some thought into humour random dicks hidden in the background isn't funny not when you do it anyway, you can't jsut steal a humour style, it won't work unless you know what makes it funny inside and out, and lastly please get someone else to do the voices, it's quite annoying...

kiranup responds:

sorry i meant left 4 speed 2 i just wanted to try
a similer style geuss it didn't go down to well
so i'll stick to my own style k?

[ICOK - Modern Lolfare]

Very Well Done

To be honest, no offeense the intro, and your like author thing that said huzzah, made me expect a piece of crap, but what I ended up seeing was great! Very good and smooth animation, nice style of artwork not just the regular crap, very unique, one thing I noticed though was that ten years later sounded a hell of a lot like you were tryna copy eddsworld, no worries though it's just a voice and I may be wrong, great work overall I expect an award coming your way! Btw favioreted it and voted 5/5

[The Proper Way]

Kinda obvious But Great Anyway

First let me clear this up, I never guessed yughio but It was obvious something gay like that would happen, lol seen something just like it (On the Big Bang Theroy) Anyways great flash, very very funny, like I literally lol'd. Keep up the great work, and wow, only 12 hours? Holy crap my flashes take 10 years and still get blammed. Good work!

[SRM Star Wars Holiday!]

Long Review Comin Up

Alright well, here's the new SRM style, not sure if I like it or not yet, I find SRM's brighter colour looks cool, revamped and new. Makes it unique, I also love the new house! Looks quite a bit better than your previous animation stlye (blotchy lines and such) but I think it needs to be mastered a bit mor,e it's more fresh being hand drswn and all but for now it looks like their made of wet clay, lol! Besides the new grapics I gotta say SRM has advanced quite a bit form the start to the point where this feels almost like a sitcom. The events that happen we can relate to, unlike the original where nothing was rleated and random words were psat out every five seconds. I think you're getting closer and closer to real comedy and sooner or later SRM will get the populatrity it's been calling out for since day one. Overall, the stlye for now doesnt look to good, they look like wet colourful turds but with time you can prolly master the tablet (i know theyre hard as shit to get used to) and have a fresher cleaner looking srm than you ever could with the very dead looking curved line tool characters.

Battosai810 responds:

"Wet colorful turds" - that's not something I get to say often enough! There are some points where it felt like I was really animating amorphous characters, and I frequently derided Mel for being a fatass. This is a bit of a rough transitional period, so they're appropriately looking a bit, well, rough! Thanks for the props on the backgrounds - they definitely need some refinement, but they're finally looking less 2D, and more like a lived in space.

Thanks for the nice long review! It always makes my day to get a big review packed with constructive criticism :)

[random tournament 4]

Not Great

Way too pixely, but that's with all sprites in my opinion I hate sprites, meaning this review is automatically not gonna get more than an eight. Now, you can't say that's unfair cause that's my opinion and reviews are base don opinions, to me It sucked, but animation of sprites was smooth and it felt like it had a good flow with an exception of some parts. Text needed to be cleaned up and to look like it wasn't something you pulled out of your ass in five minutes you should you capital letters punctioation ect. Story was kinda dull and lame but whatever it's a fight movie. All in all animation was okay, but you should make your own graphics (not sprites I hate sprites) and spend more time on making it looked clean and polished. 6/10 3/5
