Twisted4000's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fenada 001]

Ummm hmmm...

Alright well I think it was better than I expected but... I dunno, something about the animation just wasn't appealing to me. I like how it's frame-by-frame, it's done alright, but at some parts it just looks kinda disjointed and choppy. Coloring was a bit sludgy-looking.

As for art, it just looks like anime.

For writing and plot and such, it just didn't do it for me, I dunno, it just seemed very flat and generic. Was very predictable and I didn't find it funny.

As far as voicing goes, it was okay, I've seen worse, but at parts it seemed off, like it didn't match with the animation. When she was screaming at the end, she seemed to be acting more than the character was actually moving around, it looked kinda weird how she was sorta just standing still and fidgeting a bit when yelling. Quality of the mics seemed to sort've switch around a lot, too.

Overall, I didn't really like it too much, but I have seen worse, I'll just leave it at that.

lol that was so cute. Nice animation and stylistic backgrounds as well.

[Splice of Life (NATA)]

Animation was pretty nifty, loved the use of colors. Very stylistic as always!

[Epiclepsy]

Hmm well there's a couple things I liked about it but a lot of things I particularly didn't.

First off, I like how the animation is smooth. I like the backgrounds, they look very traditionally-drawn and they're interesting. The colors you used were basic, but they popped out nicely and weren't in any way dull.

For what I didn't like, everything sort of went very out-of-proportion when the characters moved around. Obviously the style is very simple and needs work, however it doesn't look like it's SUPPOSED to look fantastic or anything, so it's not really an issue. But everything is just very messy and odd. Sometimes it looks like other characters are in a completely different spectrum compared to others in the same shot.

Voice acting wasn't so hot either, either practice mroe on that or get some actors. Some voices were better than others, though.

As far as plot and storytelling goes, there wasn't really a whole lot there, and I know it's supposed to be kinda random, but it was just very repetitive and unfunny to me. Overall, the whole thing wasn't horrible, but let's just say I was kinda glad when it was over.

Just practice some more and I'm pretty sure you'll make something pretty hilarious in the future.

Jakoshi responds:

We appreciate constructive criticisms such as this rather than pure bad reviews with no explanation. We can promise you that all of our work will be much improved from this point on, as we went through the entire process of making a cartoon backwards; we had nameless characters, monologues, and many areas that needed improvement. Our future work will hold memorable and developed characters, as well as stories and dialogue that will set up the humor, and animation that will not be half-assed in any way. Thanks for the suggestions and keep an eye out for our next projects... they won't disappoint.

[Superman vs Goku]

Very nice! Action sequences at the beginning part were just fantastic. Coloring, shiding and shading were very good, along with the line-work. My only issues with it were that here-and-there, proportions and anatomy were off a little bit, and sometimes the animation was pretty choppy. But most of the art makes up for it, good job!

Oh, and WHAT A SURPRISE SirUndead and RicePirate both did an awesome job voicing. I didn't see THAT one coming.

But again, nice.

The video isn't playing as this is being written, but I have seen this before when it was working, so I'll leave a review. Plus if any of you guys want to see this it's on YouTube, just search up the title.

Art and animation were both fantastic, it flows very naturally and is pleasing to look at. Your line work and shading are both great as well. You're very good at anatomy, such as muscles and stuff.

Your effects and backgrounds are good too. When he breaks his fingers it blurs and the camera shakes at just the right level, looks very good, you are a superb animator!

[Awesome Tribute]

Let me tell you I rarely give out 5s, but this was really impressive. What I loved the most was that it's an Egoraptor-inspired video humor-wise and video game parody-based, but you actually have your own animation and drawing style and it doesn't seem like a blatant copy... it seems more like an inspired thing, which it is supposed to be. The whole thing was pretty funny, but I especially loved the ExciteBike scene in the beginning the best, it was just animated very well and had very good impact and such.

You're as good an animator as you are at voice acting! :) Very impressive.

[Some Words From Santorum]

Well, at first, I mean yeah the animation is very basic, but I thought the texturing was neat and the animation itself semi-reminded me of South Park, the way the characters jittered a bunch. It kept me interested for a bit, since they were switching positions at a decent pace, but that later part when he started talking to the camera was really drawn out and I didn't find it funny. If it ended mutch faster I would've gave it a somewhat higher score.

[HERONDANCE]

Extremely stylistic, I love your colors (though a limited pallette, executed perfectly to make it dynamic and interesting enough while being artistic), nice beat, fun to watch. Well-done once again!

[Route 1]

Pretty awesome animation, battle-scene was done well. I could've done without the sprite parts, though, they sorta took me out of the cartoon for a few moments, plus here-and-there some things looked sorta out of proportion, but other than that really well-done.
