Fro's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Afro N' Graham 01]

Title of review goes here.

The funny part is, which I'm sure this is what you were going for, is that it's even funnier when Bahamut gets funny in the submissions. Animation was normal like always.

The voice actors are a nice change though. Luke Loves Lemonparty was the climax of this submission. It just wouldn't have been the same with Luke Loves Lemonparty.

kinggila responds:

I Love Teh Lemonparty, Do You?

[How long will I last?]

Ha.

"I slept the entire week" made me laugh a bit. I thought you were going to go on a little about how Bahamut put together a real quick animation and submitted it. Perhaps you didn't have enough time for that though. D:

Omg I'm going to complain about the speakonia voices!1!! Ha, they weren't too bad here and actually seemed to be the main part of your submission. It's basically what half of the plot focused around.

Overall a nice little introduction flash to a weekly series.

kinggila responds:

This flash needed Microsoft Sam.

[My Last Flash Ever!]

Fuck you Bahamut!

Ha, a nice funny submission. If this was submitted on any other day then it would have been more believable, even though you would have had to change the plot around a little bit.

When I watched this I noticed that the animation jumped around a bit in the very beginning when Afro_stud was singing. *Will have nightmares forever now* I'm not sure if it was my computer being laggy or if it was the submission itself.

A good plot and decent submission all around. Good job.

kinggila responds:

Yeah, there were some faults with the jumping animation, but I'm keeping it that way for the heck of it.

[frozen banana]

Not bad.

~ Animation/Graphics ~

The drawings and animation was done fairly well. There is small room for improvement, but I think it looks pretty good all around.

~ Story/Content ~

A nice little loop. The only bad thing about loops is they get so boring so fast. :P Ha, I think if perhaps you would have included about two or three different types of animals instead of just the penguins going by that it would have made it just a tad bit repetitive.

~ Audio ~

I never heard the song before. I personally didn't enjoy it that much, but I can see where some people might find it kind of catchy. I agree with another reviewer when they said they thought it would have been better if you would have taken the fade out at the end out so it made it seem like an endless loop.

~ Overall ~

Nice little loop.

[Bloody Refreshment]

Pretty cool.

~ Story/Content ~

Personally I thought it jumped around a lot. I almost had a hard time figuring out what was going on. I like it when submissions are slowed down a bit though. The cat message was completely random. :P

I like what you did here though. Ninja's = cool and zombies = awesome. So why not put them together right? What could be better than that?

If you are thinking about going on with this series here are a few ideas for you.
The zombies and ninja zombie join forces and wreak havoc on the world creating a huge zombie army.

The ninja is able to control his zombie instincts and becomes a even more dangerous foe whether it be for good or evil. For good he goes to find the creator of the zombie to stop the source. Along the way he finds armies of zombies and has to be the hero. For evil he takes over the world. :P

Before the virus fully infects the ninja he fights his way to a cure. He then goes to find the creator of the zombie to stop the source. Along the way he finds armies of zombies and has to be the hero.

~ Audio ~

The sound effects were done nicely and the voice acting was decent. The best voice acting was for the zombie though. The other voices had a little room for improvement.

~ Overall ~

Ninjas + zombies = awesome.

CLiff0Rd responds:

Cheers for the review, and the handy hints.
This was actually done as a final assignment for the Introduction to flash. I obviously expanded a lot more than I needed to.

Most of the sound effects were taken from my previous creation, Buzz & Franky, which is also posted up. Just let it be known, there's a year gap between the two, without any further study or practice.

If I do continue on with the series, I have many story lines prepared. However, I wouldn't start the series unless I had a few fans of the first.

Cheers for it all, and yes,
Ninjas + Zombies = Awesome.
Might put in a pirate to keep those fans happy too.. Who knows?

Not bad.

~ Animation/Graphics ~

All I can really say about this submission is that the great animation and graphics really boosted it's score and rating. It's really the only great thing about the submission. You can draw pretty good and the animation was smooth.

I wouldn't have mind seeing it do a couple of different things though. It took the same amount of steps, stopped, looked up, etc.. The same every time as it looped. I think perhaps having it walk a different distance, move differently, etc.. every time would make it a bit more interesting. Perhaps about three variants so by the time it repeats again it's not so boring seeing the same thing over and over.

~ Story/Content ~

Hm, I guess it was sort of relaxing. Perhaps it's not something I enjoy relaxing to. :P Perhaps you could have drawn out about 5 or so different backgrounds and gave people the choice of which background they wanted to choose.

Perhaps a dirty sewer, the park at night time, inside of a house, etc.. Some basic things like that. I think you could do a pretty good job since it looks like you can draw pretty good.

~ Audio ~

Not a bad song at all. Not really any room for improvements here since there wouldn't be any reason for a voice or sound effects.

~ Overall ~

Not bad. I wouldn't mind seeing the choice of other options as backgrounds.

Chroust responds:

Thank you, that isn´t bad idea. I try make my work better with different backgrounds,

[Unintelligible Spheres 1]

LMAO!

~ Animation/Graphics ~

I liked the simple style. I've been trying to find my simple style and I'm going to try something like you have here with the shapes I'm guessing. Sometimes simple is the best. :P

Very basic animations, but not too bad all around. I like that it was just more than them standing there and that you had the hands/mouths moving.

The color and background seemed to fit very well. Pretty decent all around.

~ Story/Content ~

I personally laughed a lot. I thought it had great humor and that the story was pretty funny. I wouldn't mind watching a series that was made up like this. Just those two talking about how the one guy died a different way in every episode or something like that. It may be pretty interesting. Perhaps introducing a couple new characters every now and then. I thought the submission was just about perfect length also.

~ Audio ~

I turned my volume all the way up and still kind of had a hard time listening to it. I thought it was pretty quiet. Perhaps turn the volume up a tad bit or maybe adding a subtle feature that you can turn on and off? The voice acting was pretty good too.

~ Overall ~

Very simple, but also pretty funny. Not too bad at all. Keep up the good work!

Animan13 responds:

Thanks, I already have a fan base beginning LOL. A different way he died every episode? Sounds neat, but i wasn't planning on doing so. Maybe i'll consider it later on. A mini-series, maybe. Thanks on the positive comments. I'll try to improve audio next time.

[Creeping with Kenny]

Not bad.

~ Animation/Graphics ~

This submission had decent artwork all around. The quality was what I'm getting used to seeing from Newgrounds submissions with scores around the halfway mark. The animation that you had itself was done well and seemed to be smooth.

The only thing that I can recommend here is to take your time and work on your drawing skills just a little bit.

~ Story/Content ~

A short/weird idea for a flash submission, but it does sound like something Kenny would be doing. The last tip where you were suppose to make sure the person was actually asleep made me laugh a little bit. Other than that it wasn't overly funny or humorous.

Perhaps a few more skits would have made this submission a little bit better.

~ Audio ~

The music that was used fit well as it was from an old South Park episode. The voice actually sounded pretty good, but remember Kenny doesn't talk normal when his hood is on. :P

~ Overall ~

I think the humor needs to be worked on a little bit, a few more skits or scenes could be added, and mainly the artwork should be worked on.

[LL - TMNT]

Lol, nice.

~ Animation/Graphics ~

I love the animated loading screen. Great quality artwork and smooth animation.

The flash itself also had great artwork. The only complaint that I had was that there really wasn't any animation to speak of. I think you should of included animation that represented them breathing or the little icon that is commonly used to show which one is talking at least. Simple stuff like that would have been enough to greatly improve the score of the submission. Perhaps color for the characters would have made it look a little better too.

~ Story/Content ~

I was wondering where this was going. It may have seemed a bit boring, but I think that was mainly because of the lack of animation and not so much the lack of content. It had a nice funny twist at the very end of the submission. Enough to make me laugh a little bit. You did a good job with the long drawn out zoom at the end to add to the humor.

~ Audio ~

I like that there was a mute button on the menu, but I didn't like that you couldn't start playing the music again after you muted it. It would be nice if the mute button worked both ways.

I really didn't like the audio that you used in the submission. The song sounded ok, but there was too much time between where it looped. I think you needed to make it so it was a consistent loop with no space in between or picked another song that was already like that.

~ Overall ~

Needed a few basic things, but good art work and humor.

[The Diver {mini}]

Not too bad.

~ Animation/Graphics ~

This was really the biggest downfall of the whole submission. I can see the basic simple drawings working. They could have been more detailed, but I think they were fine enough for what you were doing. The thing that I think would really help would be doing what I like to call in between animations. Such as the divers legs/arms moving in a swimming motion instead of the diver just being tweened across the stage.

You could go even farther and make it so the fish/sharks fins swam or had some bubbles coming up like they were breathing.

~ Story/Content ~

I can't comment too much here as it was for a school project and it looked like it was mainly for practice, etc.. Perhaps you could have had the diver go and find some treasure and then get attacked. I don't know exactly what you were suppose to do or anything though.

~ Audio ~

Not bad music all around. There wasn't much room for sound effects or anything of that nature so the audio was about as good as you could make it.

~ Overall ~

Work on your in between animations and I hope you did well/will do well on your school project!
