[Truth Of Osama 2]

I found this to be mindly amusing actually. Yet also kind of weird how the Osama thing was the only Soup looking character to have a head still intact on it. Then when it somehow finds where the Soups are living it is invincible and then not invincible (how did it become invincible in the first place?)

The animation was pretty smooth for this flash animation. The Soups looked well drawn and I enjoy how the backgrounds went through shading going from one color in the center of some scenes to where the color is different near the borders of the flash. Could have maybe used the blend tool a bit to make the background for the inside of the Soup place cleaner looking unless having layered squares was the way it was meant to look.

The story also seemed to be a little quirky since Osama came back to life and targeted the Soups for some unknown reason. Maybe give a little back story as to why that happens too. Also why did the Soups have to get rid of him in the first one? Nice to see in the end though that he gets defeated and just vanishes from existence while Crouton and Canned Soup enjoy that fact afterward.

The music used seemed pretty fitting too since the Crouton and Canned seemed to be having a good time setting up traps to stop Osama from trying to kill them. The effort falls flat though since he charges right on through with the bucket not falling on him and he doesn't get stuck on the green stuff either. Credit music was also nice.

Overall, interesting and nice quality flash, great work here.

Crouton...and Canned? Lmao. It's not Canned, it's Taco.

[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.

[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

[Kony 2012]

Well I found this to be amusing.

The graphics looked rather sloppy but hey, so does that crappy Kony 2012 video on youtube. Although this one actually gave us more of a story. Kind of how it did feel after the video was shown, people just spammed it everywhere sadly.

Story, some person thinks they will go to heaven for reposting something that is hardly worth watching. Then Kony just wonders why that one guy is being naked banging the ground.

The voice acting and music was nice so good work there.

Overall, very amusing.

Zachary responds:

Thanks :)

[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.

MistyE responds:

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!!
