Markface's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Bukakke Udon Song]

How absurd!

I'm suprised with the score you got. Should be a bit higher. It looks like you copped it hard on the compression side, but hot damn is that animation good.

You put a hell of a lot of work into this, it's something you should be proud of. Very fluent, nice visuals and wonderful animation to fit a fun loving song.

Good job.

Also, boobs.

[Madness: Deus Ex Machina]

I loved it.

You've taken Krinkels game and gone pro. This was wonderful, a worthy tribute to such a great series.

The effects were great and the animation was brilliantly smooth. The only small downside I could pick at would be some slight repetitiveness in your characters moves, but that's about it.

You did great, wonderful work.

[The Great Mushroom Chase]

I usually hate sprite movies

But hell, this one was great.

I love the Newgrounds nostalgia on this, twas nice. Was a nicely animated and original piece, very humorous and very entertaining.

Good work.

[There She Is!! step4]

Just like the others...

I'm not a huge fan of these nowadays. I absolutely loved the first couple, but it's really getting a bit too much.

The animation and visuals are great, they really fit your brand of story telling quite well... the only problem is that even though you gave the story a slight shake, it's still the same as the last 3 episodes.

Work on something new, these are repetitive.

[RunescapeWorstScenerios]

Righteo...

Ok, for a first animation that's not too bad... but you're not getting any points for that.

The visuals were ok, the way you drew them though made it hard to animate, hence you had to use a lot of tweens. For more fluent animation and better looking visuals try a more frame by frame based enviorment, especially for walking and character movement.

Now, sound in this would of been better, you mentioned you couldn't get sound to work, it's quite simple actually:

File > Import to Stage
(Chose the sound file you wish to import).

Then click on the frame in which you want this sound to start, down the bottom of the screen should be your 'Properties' toolbar. Select the sound dropdown bar (should be set to 'none' at the moment) and select your sound.

I think if you spend a little more time you should make something good, but for now... this is an alright first attempt.

Keep it up!

[Aristocrat Joke]

Perfectly synched!

You animated that perfectly. Even though the storyline was spelt out for you, you still enriched the piece with a lot of your own style and creativity.

Good job.

[Edible Castle #10]

Great work.

Your best episode yet. I'd imagine something quite superb having all those talented animators in there... and it was... superb.

It was superb, that's what it was.

What?

[Awesome Racer]

Lovely.

Wonderful humor, fluent animation and you somehow put a unique spin on Ego's not so lovely style.

I like men.

[Chibi Eyes]

And you have AIDS...

Brilliant. Quite good for a short piece. Good visuals, nice voice acting and wonderful humour, good job.

[Asaroki 02- Encouter]

Hmmm... hard to judge this.

Ok, first off. I really appreciate the effort you went into this with... it is a lot better than most of the anime junk that passes through the portal.

The visuals were GREAT but the animation was not. Don't get me wrong, the animation was good, but if you're using visuals of such high quality like the ones in your movie you need quality animation to match it. I know you've mentioned your series, but instead of spending time on a 60 minute piece with great visuals and decent animation... try making a shorter piece with amazing visuals and amazing animation... looking at your style I know you could do it oh so easily.

Your storyline is quite good though, especially in comparison to other anime series that get thrown on here. You've taken something that's a little more realistic, you've made the characters more unique.

On that note. Kill your voice actors. Sorry to say it but they really destroyed a lot of character development in this. With better voice actors you can have a more convincing and better set out list of characters.

Once again, thanks for putting in effort with this, the score you recieved does not match the one you should have received, so I'm giving you a 5 to try and boost it up.

Looking forward to the rest of the series.
