[Gaben Falls Down Stairs!]

To be fair, I did find this humorous. Sadly it was way too short for my taste. While he was falling down the stairs you could have expanded on why it was making the sides of the building fall apart and then ultimately the building itself.

The graphics were nice and make me think of MistyEntertainment's art style but more cartoony. Maybe could add some voices if you ever revisit this piece with the employees being shocked at Gaben's bad behavior and maybe a mythology gag about how he can't seem to count to three and trips on the third step.

The sounds were fitting and kept this piece humorous. However, given it's really short there isn't much time to make full use of more funny sounds revolving around Gaben falling all the down.

Overall, this was pretty funny but at the same time a bit too short. Nicely done, nonetheless.

Damnit you are right!

[AV: The Plague Saga pt 1]

I'm sure a lot will go wrong with the magic lessons and cause hilarity to ensue.

This episode seemed a bit short in my opinion. I'm hoping parts two and three will not be quite as short. I can make an exception with this one since they are pretty much getting ready to embark on their quest to find a cure to the plague that could spread to their kingdom.

The graphics are the same. The backgrounds for the intro were pretty nice and reminded me of SNES era graphics for when a game started.

I did find it humorous how you lampshaded that females in adventures tend to be wearing skimpier outfits which does not do a good job of protecting them to begin with. Good sense of humor in that spot. Also funny how King William did not care until he was told dead people can't pay taxes.

The music used was pretty good and the sound effects made it all better too. The getting ready portion with the square made me think of Pac-Man for some reason.

Overall, good start to a new segment of the AV series.

[End of Summer; End of All]

This seemed to be pretty decent.

The animation was the same as the rest of the Frogman series which is good since a change in animation at any point in a series can always make things seem pretty off.

The story was entertaining since Frogman and friends were just complaining a bit and thinking about Summer coming to an end. Then a meteor strikes and the plot twist ends up it was all the dream of a drunk cat.

The audio was pleasant and made me think of 90s cartoons like Hey Arnold, neat.

Overall, not much to improve here aside from maybe make it longer.

Pretty decent is okay for me :) People seemed to have mixed feelings about this, and I never really liked the writing of it in the beginning, but I grew to like it and I think I did a pretty good job with it, albeit I did take a few shortcuts.
While I do like the animation quality where it is, I still try to get a bit better with each animation I do, though I don't think I'll be making any drastic changes in a while.
I'm never sure what to think of the story with this one, but you found it entertaining so I guess I did something right. I always liked the ending best though.
I'm glad you liked the audio. Audio management is something I've been working on and trying to perfect. It's interesting how this gave you a 90's cartoon feel. I've been hearing some stuff about my animations feeling like 90's cartoons. Might be a bit of influence in there, but I'm fine with that 'cause 90's cartoons were sweet (;
This was actually my longest animation this year, though I do like making longer, more story driven animations. I'm working on a couple right now and they'll definitely be finished next year. I don't know when I'll get around to another full episode of FrogMan though, but it's coming.
Thank you for the review. Feedback gives me the drive to keep going and keep improving.

[Zelda- Mole Mitts]

This was a fun short to watch.

The animation was subpar, I feel as though you could have been a tad bit cleaner with how Link walked and all at the beginning. Then him getting smacked in the face at the end along with his hat when he digs through a wall and sees a woman showering was pretty funny. This has potential to be longer and have more humorous misadventures that Link can get into.

The backgrounds were nicely done, cool to see some of them were provided by MistyEntertainment. The "Ganon Wuz Here" on the wall was funny to see. The shower was equally humorous and the shower curtain covering her as a shadow when she hid behind it was a good detail.

The audio was simple. Background music from Legend of Zelda and some voices from Legend of Zelda too. Not bad.

Overall, could have been longer but was humorous nonetheless. Good work.

Yeah, I suppose I did get a bit lazy with some of the animation on this one. I'll try to keep things at a consistent quality in the future.
I do think it could have been longer, though I wanted to keep it short as I was only going on one gag, though I do have a few more ideas that I can do with some Zelda parodies, so hopefully those suffice.
I, as well as Misty, did put a lot of time into the backgrounds, so I'm glad they turned out nicely. I wanted the environments to have a cartoony yet detailed feel as the Minish Cap is a game that has that kind of feel. I also try to put as many little details like the shadow behind the shower curtain. I feel those little details make the scene at times.
I'm glad you found this humorous. I'm more used to doing dialog driven animations and with these "silent" animations I can really only rely on my animation and the visual gags to keep people interested, so I'm glad I did well with that. Thank you for the review!

[Free to Play]

Almost entirely accurate. Even more annoying when the lady or guy being displayed in the advertisement can't be played as in the game as a class or anything. Good satire mockery of how MMORPG's try to get new players these days.

I found the posters he had to be hilarious as well. His interaction with his female character was hilarious since he acted as if they were real even though they only gave silly response to him.

Overall, good mockery piece.

[How To Move On]

I found the drawing style to be simple and nice.

The commentary for moving on suddenly from moving on, to simply getting back with their ex. I guess it is hard to forget about some people and move on when that happens. Sure, trying to forget hurts, but it's part of moving on as you said.

The audio was nice too, the background music was enjoyable and made me think of someone doing a demonstration of some kind such as what you were doing.

Overall, awesome, silly, and welcome to Newgrounds.

[Adrellia Village #46: SE]

I am pleased to see that William has returned to being the king of Adrellia. I am also happy to see this series is still going strong and the cast helping make everything possible continues to grow!

The animation is very nice. I like the background for the castle and that the characters are looking much better now. As far as animation errors or tips to give, aside from asking you to keep on improving, I can't see much else needing to be done.

The story continues to improve. I'm glad to see that King William is back home to take back his rightful place as king. Also seeing Drake and friends must go out and save another town from another epidemic shall be very interesting. I wonder what the disaster is this time that is much worse than King William discovering McDonald's.

The voice acting has improved so much over time and the voice cast has grown and I'm so happy to see how far things have gone here. From starting out with voices with static in the background to clean voices with little to no background sounds in wonderful.

Overall, incredibly nice episode and so happy to see how far things have come. Have fun making future episodes! :D
