[KONY2012]

I have to say that this is incredibly accurate and yet people still blindly donated to their bullshit scam instead of doing a few minutes research to find out he hasn't done anything in years and been on the run instead so he won't be bothered and keep being pinned as a scapegoat for all that happens there with some fictional army he doesn't have now. Highly accurate representation of what that scam group did and is still trying to do.

The animation here is completely solid and hilarious how it shows Kony in the image at first then just shows a stick figure instead of the image flipped upside down. Loved how the kid did not care what his father was saying either and just went on to ask if he was a bad guy from Star Wars, hilarious. Although his father seems to be possibly correct all the way in saying he probably is starving and beaten too all because he's a scapegoat for whatever is happening there.

The story was nice since it starts with a father talking to his son about what is possibly happening with Kony at the present time and then goes to an Invisible Children parody scam where the viewer should instead of helping out the Ugandans suggest buying their box of useless and worthless crap. Then shows what the Invisible Children probably are doing which is laughing their asses off at how gullible people are to buy their useless propaganda. Hilariously well done parody and humor piece.

The voice acting was well done too with the father and song, then the narration voice, the fat guy, and lastly that Invisible Children guy. I hear Egorapter and Oney which is pretty good anyways. Clicking sound was pretty funny since he was yelling and clicking normally then just spam clicking the buy button incredibly fast.

Overall, well done parody of a crappy group trying to make money off someone who isn't doing anything. Hilariously well done.

[Adrellia Village #15]

This one seemed pretty decent however before anything else you probably could have spent a little more time finding higher quality images of the images used from Kingdom Hearts I here since they seemed low in quality and a bit stretched too. Nice to see however that this episode gives a little backstory as to what became of Brutus in the past leading up to how he behaves now in wanting to destroy and control everything in all the kingdoms.

The voice acting here was great but who did the voice of the female narrator? Animation went along smoothly and nice to see that Strawberry Clock got sneaked in as a cameo when Brutus was opening that door to the cellar that released all the evil around Medrillia. Very interesting but wonder why it was there anyways. Will be nice to see what goes on next too.

Overall, this one turned out nice, the Kingdom Hearts image could be a bit higher in quality though. Aside from that, good work.

Thanks for your review! One of those images were from a more obscure game where my only hope of finding a high-quality image would be taking a screenshot of a Let's Play and mildly stretching it.

[Adrellia Village #13]

I see this one improves quite a bit and Brutus tries even more to get his plans rolling to remove Drake from the picture forever so he can rule the land. Animation hasn't changed much although I did notice one thing that could use a bit of changing. When the king is speaking I see he moves up a couple of pixels and to the right a bit when speaking, possibly an error in animating since everything else went just fine.

Nice to hear some Kingdom Hearts music at the end of this one too when it began to show Mist and letting the viewer know it is where Drake needs to go if you wishes to stop Brutus from ruling the land and taking over. Smooth transitions too, excellent work there.

Overall, the plot thickens!!

[Adrellia Village #11]

Well this one was rather short but kind of made me think of Kingdom Hearts one and two where hitting a foe at a higher level would deplete life bars of the bosses rather quickly and seeing how Darrell would easily get some get some strong hits in, makes me think of Sephiroth a little more too. Nice little boss battle and cool to hear "Maybe I'm a Lion" from Final Fantasy VIII which was Leon's theme.

The graphics here were nice and the shield and potion looked a bit like clip art to me but everything else seemed to be your own original work which is excellent. The sound effects were also very good to hear and I wonder how it shall go down when the boss battle continues in the next episode of the Adrellia Village series. Nicely done.

Overall, nice little boss battle and battle music.

MistyE responds:

Thanks! At the time, Kingdom Hearts was a main inspiration for the battle scenes with the life bar and whatnot. "Maybe I'm a Lion" also seemed like good battle music. The potion and Darrell's sword were clip art, but the shield was drawn in Flash.

I appreciate your review.

[A Goomba's Life - Ep 4]

This was another nicely put together sprite movie. The credit music reminds me I stopped watching Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt halfway through, I think I should try to get back to watching it all since I really liked watching it.

The sprites are not edited at all but that isn't a problem since without characters it is hard to give a story isn't it? The intro was pretty nice since it showed stuff from the previous three episodes that had happened to Robbie the Goomba and Yoshi.

The story seemed rather simple in that Yoshi left out one of his berries and a mouse got it. Robbie gets scared and falls down the stairs getting temporary amnesia and recovers. Then the mouse appears again at the end and Yoshi simply tears through their house trying to get his berry back. Short and humorous as always.

The voice acting here was great. The person who did Tails sounded pretty happy too. The music that was used gave a good feel of watching old retro characters actually being able to speak on old game systems had they allowed for voices at all. Credit music as I said earlier gave me a bit of a nostalgic feel and kind of makes you feel happy at the same time.

Overall, nice work on this episode. Wonder how the next episode will go.

Once again I thank you for your review. I can always count on the review crew to actually take the time to make a meaningful review. A few other people have as well but yours is done on a profesional level. So thanks once again. I hope you stick around for season 2. Which will be coming out later this year.

[1 Take 1 Loop]

I found that to be fairly entertaining and it loops perfectly since once it reached the end I thought it would end yet it simply starts all over again. The only non looping thing here is the music which is pretty well. That or is looping a part of it and I did not notice it.

The animation was very simplistic in design and yet very interesting at the same time. Almost as if you are just going through someone's mind as they slept. However the dream never truly ends and they are stuck in a cycle that will possibly never end for them.

The music playing seems fitting since it gives that feeling of weirdness and at the same time a feel of them being in a dream state where despite all they see, none of it is truly real.

Overall, excellently done loop and very interesting piece.

THANKS! Im super happy now :3

[Papers]

I actually liked this one as it felt rather well done and a nice overall presentation of the story. Kind of makes you feel sad for the paper man with the music that accompanies this animation. Very sad yet good story. Even though bad things always happen to him, he tries to make the best of the moment and carry on with his life.

The animation seemed really simple and in a way felt like it was mostly tweens sometimes. The backgrounds were very nicely drawn, looks like maybe a few hours were put into each. Sadly in the end, he never got home as it got blown away and then a storm came and blew him far away from there. Very sad piece.

The music that plays gives a slightly happy feel to this even though a lot of sad things happen to him. The speakonia voice was also kind of nice but I think a human voice could have also been nice too.

Overall, great graphics, good story, nice music.

I'm glad you liked the cartoon, I was surprised to get such a high rating from a Review Crew member. I definitely have to balance out the depressingness in future episodes.

[Adrellia Village #10]

Well this one seemed alright but I felt that the gears cut scene was used a bit too much. Where did it come from anyways? Then him already knowing that he got it wrong before seeing the door is a little weird. Could have included a wrong sound click and a correct sound click to show that he did it right.

The animation hasn't changed much here as usual. The voice acting was nice to hear as usual. Hilarious how Drake has heard of Brutus yet had no idea that was Brutus at the end. Wonder how the boss battle for #11 will be going for him too.

Overall, seemed to be alright, the 3D gear scene... would be nice if you said where it came from.

MistyE responds:

The 3D gear scene comes from "Neopets: The Darkest Faerie."

[Adrellia Village #9]

Seems to be alright to me. The life bar I can see maybe being used later as in "you forgot it and now here is where it comes into play" kind of deal. Not too long but it seemed to be alright.

The animating hasn't changed much but I saw some cutouts of Final Fantasy characters. Could have been cool having them say a line at least. Music was also good too. The voice acting was also feeling close to the same if not a little bit less of it going on in this episode.

Overall, seemed to go alright here.
