Getting there

I kind of find these to be such misleading contradictions in a largely sad way. You spend more time making the intro than you ever do creating the main piece sadly. Another thing is english subtitles would be a nice add since this is an English website. Most other foreign users at least go back and add English subtitles so the users can understand what is going on. Another thing is voices would be nice here too.

The preloader was nice as usual and then again it doesn't change much does it? Then it is followed up by the intro which always look awesome. To be honestly if you can make the intro look at that great then why can't you spend as much time creating the main piece with it? I don't hate you users, I just ask you put as much time into your main piece as you do with the intro.

Overall, these are always a good laugh albeit, most users can't read Japanese very well or at most, at all. Adding English subtitles would be nice. Users here want to see quality flashes so while the intro is cool, working on the main piece is just as important as making intros, credits, whatever makes a flash awesome to the user.

Good luck on future pieces.

[Demon Tales Ep1 "Pilot"]

Looks promising

THis actually looks to be quite a promising series to be honest. The fact that it hits front page the next day is rather pleasing and good to know. The plot looks to be good. What was with that dude at the start who broke free and was absorbing people? Is that the only demon there or what?

The animation looks very good here. Didn't miss a beat and you added a lot of details too. The background layer for the boat scene was good as it looked pretty realistic in a way I suppose. You have a good start there anyways.

The choice of audio was rather relevant and kind of adds a good effect to the flash to kind of give the viewer a glimpse into the foreshadowings and forecomings to happen in this series too. The voice acting was rather solid, also enjoyed how you added a demon sound to the one person's voice.

Overall, superb job here. Looking forward to it.

[Kos Tape Arms]

Excellence

Well this turned out to be a good and funny piece. Really like how it emphasizes that not everything advertised on tv is true or worth buying at all. Some are worth it while most tend to be things that lose their amazingness after a few moments as they don't do what they were advertised to be doing.

The animation was very good here. Also liked how you made the credits sync up with the song playing for just a moment before the credits began to roll and whatnot. Also liked the Donkey Kong reference. I thought that was a rather amusing sudden change in graphics. Sadly in the end the arms explode and are simply worthless and a money waster.

The voice acting here was sound. Also liked the various sound effects used here too. This seemed to be pretty nice though. Also very cool choice in tunes to use in this animation.

Overall, a pretty good job here. I was pleased.

[Kos! Madness]

Cool madness piece

This was a pretty funny take on Madness I think. So when they played that song they all killed each other so they would not have to hear it? Funny how one of the henchmen actually had a voice here as well. Lastly it was also good because of the Metal Gear Solid use of talking.

Story line was pretty funny I suppose since the Onion is trying to advance to the next room but must kill the henchmen before he can advance up there with his friend. Hilarity ensues when they try various methods and they finally solve the problem by throwing in a boombox playing a terrible song which makes them all go mad and kill each other.

The animation was fairly nice and lighthearted I think which is pretty nice but weird since this deals with the series known as Madness. Enjoyed the facial expressions seen here as well.

The voice acting was also very nicely worked out here so good job to the three users voice acting here for the characters too.

Overall, this was a nice tribute parody piece for the Madness saga. Good work.

Hey thanks for the awesom review yet again!
Nowadays I see that this is pretty average for me. I think I could do a lot better. However I did only make this in a couple of days. lol

[Micwizard]

Wizards with glow sticks :D

This was actually good but I think the song is what hooked the viewer in and then the wizard battling a legion followed by destroying the wizard boss was a really nice way to get viewers hooked up to watching a great piece like this. The way it was going kind of kept you a bit edgy as well. Have not seen a good stick flash on here in awhile either until this came along. Mostly because most stick flashes I see these days are test flashes rather than people actually putting in some kind of effort to make a piece of art. Not harsh on them though since I know hard it is to animate something.

The animation here was actually great. Loved how the floor looked like it was being painted with graffiti with every stroke the wizard made with his wand (which also makes me think of glow stick rave parties as well) came near the ground. Funny how many tried to defeat it but none were successful and neither was the micboss as he was drilled to death through his own building and then blown up as the wizard fell down to the ground and possibly ran off or simply watched the mayhem end.

The choice of music here was great. I liked how the background and castle also looked here. Like how you put as much detail into them as you did with the sticks fighting each other. Also liked how the wands kind of left a small second trail for a moment before being used in some way or manner.

Overall, excellent piece of work. Great song and cool battle sequence.

[Super Agent Rodent School]

Funny

Well I found this to be humorous and you did some nice animating here although the animations did not do much as it quickly skipped to a new frame showing something else soon after which was kind of sad I guess but took nothing away from this.

The animation was solid on its own here so that is just great to keep in mind. Would love to see you do more Parry Gripp songs in the future too but with more tweens and that such. You know what I mean?

The song was cool.

Overall, good piece of work here.

ok thanks i will do :)

[Bigger Fish To Fly]

Nice work

Have to say you did a pretty good job here. Reminds me of the older 70-80 cartoons where you had two characters chasing each other to outwit and gain something from each other. Like how this one ended differently with the bird being eaten by both foxes and as a bonus they got to eat all the fish as well. One female and a male fox, cool.

The animation was very nicely done here, you did a superb job with the storyline as well where both foxes simply want a fish but can not eat any because of the stupid bird aggravating and giving them a hard time over getting any. In the end they used dynamite and got fish at last along wit hthe bird as a tasty meal.

The audio used was quite nice here. Minimal voice sounds made it good. Just shows that not every movie needs voices in it to be good I think.

Overall, brilliant.

KFoxyFox responds:

After 'A Fistful Of Fuzzies' I decided againt using voices for this and I think it was a good descision ;)

[The Cupcake Collab]

Greata collab!!

Really nice to see all the pictures here, makes you feel really hungry. Glad to see two people were nice enough to show recipes though which is really great. I think the only possible thing you could have done to make this better is if the submission was in the art portal then you could have made each image double up as a link to the image in the art portal which would have been pretty nice seeing as there were a lot of images here I recognized in the art portal.

I was also pretty amazed with a few of these as I did not think some of them actually did draw that greatly. Very cool that they continue to impress users then if they can do that well on a daily basis.

The interactivity was pleasant and the sound that was made for each button click was nice. The pink background was a good touch to add to the cupcake collab here. The music was also pretty soothing, fast and very upbeat and fast.

Overall, this is an excellent collaboration of artists!!

ReNaeNae responds:

Thanks! Appreciate the review!! Have a cupcake on me! ;)

[The Cheese Dance]

Cute animation

Wow, I was taken away with how cute it was actually. Pretty nice yet quickly slapped together animation. Never really played that game myself but I take it is fun to an extent right?

The song was nice considering how many funny and good songs Parry Gripp tends to do when not with his band.

The animation was pretty nicely done too. However it looks like you focused more time on the eyes than anything else sadly. If you had put a little more effort into adding some ruffles into the fur of the mice that would have been pretty good too.

Storyline was cool I guess. Just a bunch of people getting together to have a good time on an online game server and at the end of the day they sleep and do it all again.

Overall, not bad.

supersysscvi responds:

Thank you for the critique! I'm interested by your reactions, although I wish the animation didn't come off as so slipshod.

It is fun, as you say, "to an extent," seeing as I have speen a good deal of time with the game.

[Xtreme Coffee Action Set!]

Hilarious

I found this to be quite hilarious really. First off you had the sissy boy who is not acting like a guy at all. Probably because he got a lot of motherly love and his dad is just now wanting time with him and he got there a little late to start with. Then his chances went lower when the kid was in high heels handing the football mug to the stuffed bear.

The graphics were freaking great. The voice acting was quite humorous and cool as well. Really enjoyed the story line despite his dad now having almost no chance of ever getting grand kids at that point in time.

Maybe one day, one day....

Overall, freaking xtreme!!

I'm glad you enjoyed it! :D
