NekoMika's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[LL - Dream Team Special]

Well this was qutie a special, as in special for Pico Day. Nice to see how it ended well with Tom being happy and killing the ever so innocent cake at the same time.

The graphics were rather simplistic. Also funny how despite Strawberry Clock and the other Clocks having large muscular bodies they were easily defeated by a decoy the Dream Team revealed they were there and cake all along.

Story seemed nice since it was the Dream Team freeing Tom from the rule of Strawberry Clock and having over rule of Newgrounds back to him. Then in the end, the cake was going to be taking care of with love and care, and by love and care that just means eating the cake.

Music and voices were pretty nice.

Overall, great special.

[Miss Kitty Sees You]

This was rather neat and calm to watch. There was no action, no conflicts, nothing happening except Miss Kitty apparently enjoying the night and singing.

The animation was very smooth and calm. Even a simple thing such as her tail moving felt like she was doing it emotionally rather than just wanting to. The background was also nice and calming while watching this piece. Flicking the firefly away was kind of nice I guess. The moon and her outfit both looked well drawn as well and so did the background.

While this piece was more or less as you said in the author comments just a test of your new microphone I think that maybe it could have had some bug sounds since it is night time to make it feel like their was other creatures around aside from the fireflies. Voice sounded great here.

Overall, looks great and all but I think adding some background sound such as crickets chirping would have been nice. Excellent work here!

[DJ BJ - Jungle Job (SMD)]

I found this to be entertaining and funny at the same time since the singer is pretty much telling all the animals around the world to suck his dick including animals I don't think would be able to such as dinosaurs and birds, which makes it funnier.

The graphics were mostly just cutouts of animals and a guy moving everywhere on the screen with rainbow and neon effects applied to the plush dinosaur at times. The backgrounds were cool and the flashing text isn't very fast but still good anyways.

As far as fixing things up goes, possibly reduce the width for this flash a bit since for a good majority of the flash you see white on the sides so maybe reduce that by at the most 3-10 pixels to see if it makes the white on the sides got away. It's not shown the whole time but during some parts it can be seen. Also could add a final frame instead of having the animation loop, that would be nice.

Overall, humorous and funny music video.

Oh, the animation looping was actually done on prupose. That way, people who enjoy the song, can listen to it on loop and those who don't can just exist ;).

Thanks a lot for the review though, I appreciate it a lot! The thing you said about the white border thingy - this flash was originally animated in 720p for youtube, which means i had to resize it and that turned out to be a pain in the butt to do sadly, I noticed that white stuff myself, but whenever i try to resize stuff my computer is close to dying because of all the stuff this flash contains.

[A Goomba's Life Ep 5 (S2)]

This one seems to be even better to me. Reall y funny yet nice seeing Tails having a date.

The graphics were sprites so that was good. However during the part where Rob went down in the pipe I felt that the pipe could have been moved down a pixel so it is at the edge of the blocks.

The story was funny since Rob felt a need to follow Tails around and see how his date was going and ended up being bandaged because he just felt like following him everywhere.

The songs heard were rather nice and fit well. The credit music, I still like it as well. The voices were good. The yelling Rob did when falling could have been louder but I notice you don't seem to do that much, I take it you live in a place with lots of people so you try not to be too loud with your voice acting.

Overall, I felt this was nice.

You hit the nail on the head. I live in Barracks (I'm in the U.S Army so I can't scream to the top of my lungs as i would like to. The biggest scene i was concerned about was surely the carnival scene with the pipe but it isn't to bad or negative threatening. So i'm Glad the results came out well. Mostly positive reviews from The RRC who are like the only one's who seems to review things right. Thanks guys

[Mario Battle Bros. ep 6.1]

This one turned out well but again the ending kind of felt like a letdown since the Master simply turns out to be an Amy Rose recolor with huge spikes for hair as is the deal withShi too.

The story seems to have gotten a little thicker with Shi finally showing some Amy recoloring is the boss behind it all but her name is not given at the moment. Or it could be a guy who dresses as a girl for some reason or another. The Luigi transformation was neat anyways although I feel the extended hair may have been a little unnecessary.

The spirtes are about the same so nice work there. The music was also nice to listen to.

Overall, the plot thickens.

SuperMarioFan9000 responds:

OOooh yeah!
Thanks for the constructive criticism...
The Real Master wasn't the Amy sprite, the master is much stronger than the main villains in the story. (But.. Won't be shown, named, and will not make an appearance after this part of the storyline)
Oh and Shi ain't mine though. lol

[Mario Battle Bros. ep 5.2]

Well the music used here was rather nice and I noticed Pompeii was also used, I recognize it from the Matrix trilogy too. One thing here I did not understand is why Mario was suddenly naked before fighting Shi once again who wears an Organization XIII cloak for some reason. Then I notice the Bullies taken out by another hedgehog character so I guess there are thirteen of them that they have to contend and battle with.

The sprites are alright but again, the Shi sprite could use less spikes.

I noticed during this episode the text boxes did not have any text running out of them or under them which is good to see this time. Story advances along too so good work there.

Overall, just advancing the story, some good music.

SuperMarioFan9000 responds:

Well, well, well. Another comment of proper judging.. (Well hehe, it's because I saw your comment on episode 6.1 before this.. Hehe XD lol)
The details about Shi and other such, are already told when I replied to your review on 6.1.
Once again, thank you! :3

[Mario Battle Bros ep.5.1]

I feel this could have been a little better. Could at least note that for those who haven't watched the series yet that they need to use the space bar to move along the text boxes. Story seems to be good anyways.

The graphics are all sprites except Shi the demon hedgehog who is a custom sprite that you have noted Milan0077 made .In my opinion though it looks kind of dull, not saying Shi is a completely dull character but, way, way too many spikes on their head. Made less on their head so it looks cleaner. Everything else here seemed to be rather fine though.

The story seems to be the Mario Bros. are hunting for stars and yet the Bully revealed at the end is going to prevent them from doing so by sending many minions and the such their way. Then Shi came, first in an Organization XIII cloak then suddenly appears without it. Could possibly made the cloak a little shorter and seem bigger on the top to show he has a lot of spikes too. Shi finally gets destroyed with a knock to the head.

The music used seemed pretty good for the most part too. Although the guitar loop used early on for when they were meeting Shi seemed a little unfitting. Could have used some dark sound piano tune instead.

The dialogue boxes could also maybe be done a little different since I noticed a lot of "..." used during some of them and in a couple of other dialogue boxes, the text stretches past the text box limit in the flash.

Overall, not too bad, could use a bit of improving though with how Shi looked.

SuperMarioFan9000 responds:

Your 1st review on mah episode 5.1 is just read. :3
Never thought of fitting music during moments and battles.. Hehhehe.

[ZTV News Promo]

Well I do look forward to seeing the series then if you plan to upload any here. Very short but still really nice to see something from you again being uploaded.

The animation was completely smooth and the background makes it look like you almost are part of a large business too. Your character's voice was also nice and good to see Caxx doing some more voice work too. Nice to see not much was missed since there was even sound for simply putting her hand down on the desk.

Pretty nice for a promotional piece. Music was nice, enjoyable.

Overall, nice promo, great voice and great graphics.

[Demo Reel 2012]

I ave to agree with it being weird at least and it goes from piece to piece showing them a little at a time rather than all at once before moving on to the next sketch demo. Pretty different in my opinion.

The graphics varied from piece to piece and the paper sketches were nice since I imagine you drew each frame on a separate piece of paper each time then looped them. The forward walking motion was also pretty neat too. The tongue thing was pretty odd since it stuck its tongue on a piece of earth then some stick thing kicked it back. The dark bearded thing was a little weird to me and then it died at the end sadly.

The music used was nice and set the tone as it was calm and allowed the animations to stand out.

Overall, quirky and odd demo reel.

DillonBrannick responds:

Yep, seems to be the general consensus that its just a bit too all over the place. "different" even if you mean this in a bad way I'm totally taking it as a good thing.
Glad you liked it somewhat.
Thanks for this fantastic reviewage

[Dr Whooves and Assistant]

I found this to be rather entertaining and I remember when it was still in the process of storyboarding last year along with a couple of users doing the voice acting for Derpy and Doctor Whooves. Nice to see you did a lot of the animating and bringing it colorful life. Looking forward to seeing how part two will go and wondering if he will be able to master doing things with his hooves too since I imagine he will be in pony form for awhile until after he helps stops whatever event is meant to be stopped. Possibly the return of Nightmare Moon before she gets destroyed and frees Luna and turns her back into pony form.

The animation here went overly smooth although for a moment when Derpy scared the Doctor I thought the two red lines were him expressing surprise instead of the stems on the trees in the background. Also nice to see Derpy's eyes were moving the whole time and were perfect for a moment before going back to normal derp looking eyes. Then later on they decide to get a move on to get started on stopping the important bad thing that might happen.

The voice acting was just great here and nice to see Derpy keeping excited for the most part and also being confused at the same time as usual. Hilarious how she thought the bubbles meant her personality which could be true or debated as the Doctor said. Music that played in the back was also nice to hear. Something important got said then Derpy would be excited and music went back to playing. The credit sequence looked nice and cool how it was 8-bit.

Overall, excellent and funny at the same. Looking forward to the next part. Have fun helping with that one too.
