Twisted4000's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Girlchan in Paradise Ep2]

I don't know how you do it...

These are so great. All the drawings are very natural-looking, everything's very colorful, nice animation, it's just overall pleasing to the eye (I don't really wanna go in-depth into the visuals again, because I already did that with my review on episode 3, it's just about the same thing with this one).

Humor is great, it's all just timed so perfectly and the funny parts... are funny. I really like it. Better than actual anime, I'd say...

[Girlchan in Paradise Ep3]

These are all so well-done, all the drawings have plenty of their own style, it looks so naturally and brushy as opposed to like unnaturally smooth line-tooled, which most people consider to look "professional". Your coloring is phenomenal, and you shaded in all the pictures. I LOVE the animation style you have, it's somewhat on the choppier side, but at the same time it's fluent, and it works... it's difficult for me to describe, but it's great.

I mean it's just so pleasing to look at, it's so colorful and it's all so full of life. But other than visual presentation, these things are SO HILARIOUS... I can watch them over and over again... the writing is perfect, voice-acting is hilarious, trying to sound like bad English dubbers, and the action parts are extremely well-done as well.

I would choose this over an actual anime any day... and I really hate anime... but then again, that could contribute to the reason why I love Girlchan so much. I mean average animes always have such cookie-cutter shaped characters that look line-tooled, and basic fills with dull, boring colors. Your style is just so lifelike and it just pops out.

Sorry for ranting so long about the visuals, but I think it really deserves all that praise, because a lot of people tend to overlook that with your videos. Man these are just perfect, can't wait for episode 4...

[Paperfuck]

Woah...

You managed to do this all TRADITIONALLY? Holy crap... I mean that way, you need to plan everything ahead of time, and full frame-by-frame animation is usually already a challenge enough in itself. Your line-work was surprisingly clean, and the animation was great.

You look like you are a person who TRULY understands animation, I mean it looked so right when the characters moved and bounced around and stuff, but again you did it on PAPER. That's pretty remarkable.

SpamClamberton responds:

Yeah, I had to plan everything out on an exposure sheet beforehand.

[MartinTaunts]

Alright...

I really just didn't find this funny at all. Regardless of what it's intended purpose of initial creation was and/or how long it took to make. It was annoying and obnoxious, but not funny... therefore, utterly rendering it into nothing more than just another pestering endurance video on Newgrounds.

First off I really didn't laugh or chuckle or anything at all at what happened throughout the whole thing, and the drawings were bad, even for its own low standards. I kept hoping it would end sooner, but when the song part came up I had to stop (presumably halfway, I'm not sure how much more running-time there was), it just got BORING while retaining its obnoxious and annoying state...

I mean the mouth-flapping and all... even though the Japanese get away with it all the time, it's no excuse to just be lazy and use it for lip-syncing, it is just so unpleasant to monitor, I just hate it, I hate seeing still images or an image with a motion-tween on it sliding around with the mouth-flapping...

And again, it's no excuse that it was made extremely quickly or whatever, it was just... awful... there's such a thing as messy movies, and they can be done PROPERLY, but THIS was just lazy, there was no harmony, even sloppy movies need harmony. Otherwise, it just looks like a 3rd-grader through this all together in a few hours with the trial of Flash he got.

Sorry for such an overly-in-depth review on such a little joke for a movie, but it's not fair for some users to get higher scores than deserved because of their fame. Some people spend a month or more on DECENT work and yet STILL get a score like this video has. I would say this deserves something more like a 2.20/5.00.

[KONY2012]

Very nice, made me laugh out loud. I love your animation style, so that's always a plus with your videos, and the voice acting was great as well. Very nice coloring, it all sorta popped out and was pleasing to look at, there was plenty of harmony. My only issue was with the length of it, and how at most parts it was just text or other still-images on the screen. Other than that, though, a very nice short that did it's job, made a good point... well-done!

[Ash finds a Pinsir!]

Wow, really loved most of the animation, when you did the frame-by-frame parts with the pinsir walking and all, it looked TV-quality. Coloring, shading and shining were all very nice and detailed. The only problem I had was with those motion-tweeny parts you used, it was kinda strange to see it constantly flipping back and forth from fantastic, quality-animation to just plain ol' standard Flashy-looking animation...

Obviously, voices were good, too. Oh, that RicePirate.

But overall very nice, you seem extremely good at this. Keep it up...

[Adrellia Village #38: SE]

It was alright, it wasn't awful, but nothing too special either. I like your frame-by-frame animation you use at times, but everything else seems to be rather lazy. Writing's fine, but voice acting was quite dull.

The whole concept and such seems okay to me, but I think you just need to breathe in a lot more life into the execution...

MistyE responds:

Thank you very much for your review! For episode 39, I'll definitely work on the animation so it doesn't look lazy, and I have an entirely new voicing cast. I appreciate your take for this.

[Sergio and Bear 3]

Loved the voice-acting, and the drawings were smooth and slick-looking, but I found the whole thing to be very slow-moving and somewhat lifeless, and it generally failed at making me laugh. Pretty nice, though.

[GayWilliamJohnson]

Animation was very, very good. I also found it unique because of the line-work, though most people may find this particular style to be "unappealing", I thought it was very well-done.

As for plot and such, well, not a whole lot going on, it's cliche, there could have been more clever ways to make fun of Ray William Johnson... but still, I was entertained, nice job on the animation.

OrganizedApeShape responds:

Yes I agree, But its really just messing around. And even though a lot of people hate stupid stuff like this its good for practice.
Thanks btw ;)

[Swimmin with the Sharks]

Hilarious, really liked the animation style in this one, looked somewhat different from what you usually do, but it was welcoming and funny-looking.
