[Pilo - The Animation]

Strange backstory

Well I don't truly see how this is much of a backstory to why the game happens really. It shows that three of the four soldiers were really just unicorns because their mouths never open when they speak is all. Very strange and completely unrelated backing story anyways. I guess it shows who is playing it anyways.

The voices were all nice since they were all done by Seymour who happens to be a wonderful voice actor anyways. No music though so that's alright as well I think.

The animation was pretty good and how long did you spend drawing the unicorns anyways? They look well drawn and I found the animation simplistic yet funny as well too. Would laugh if there had been a "Beware of unicorns disguised as humans" poster in the background I think. Would have made this slightly more humorous anyways.

Overall, funny yet completely unrelated backstory to the game. Not bad at all.

That's what i was aiming for.
(well not realy, but as i started to think about the game, i understood that it won't be a very good game, so might as well add some humor into it..:D)

I do realize that the "punch" wasn't enough..aahhh..power..ful?
But rest assure that i've learned a lot from the awfully long production of this animation :P
Thanks! :)

Humorous

Although it is not really my kind of humor it was still funny at least. Just two old people sitting with each other and the one goes on a mental adventure in his head where the monster is really just his wife. That would be kind of weird anyways. The animation remained simple yet good the whole time too so nice work there.

The music used here seem to be fitting for the whole animation so nice choice in what you chose for the music.

The animation was pretty nice and simple here and kind of just made you think of some other older yet simplistic looking animations as well. The castle was pretty nicely done too I think. Funny how he has two women at his house as opposed to just his wife.

The only real error in animation I seemed to notice was when it was zooming into his face the first time it looked like it skipped a few frames then continued on as if nothing had happened.

Overall, not too bad at all.

Thanks for watching! Yeah, I'm not too sure why the camera skipped like that. As for the two women in his house. They all live at a nursing/retirement home.

[MLP Friendship Is Tragic2]

Humorous

Good thing there is author comments there though otherwise people would probably just assume you are mocking the ponies and such and I see you did an album based on the show so nice to see a fan of the show who also did a pretty cool experimental MLP album do a mock parody of the show and fans like this too.

The content here was great and nice to see that even on still frames that the character's body frame is always on a looped tween of sorts making it looking the animation is moving forward at all times. Really humorous parody of everything of sorts though so it's enjoyable to me anyways.

The animation here was humorous and I like how you just mocked all the ponies. As for Twilight wearing glasses and then having the Japanese text on screen, the reference seems familiar but I don't recall from where. Hilarious how she whined that she was not invited to Pinkie's party but it sounds an awful lot like she wanted her coming to it and then telling her to screw off because she ignored her questions.

Hilarious how moments later that Twilight whines the others are mean. The party scene was funny with them all doing drugs and getting high. I thought Rainbow Dash smoking the cigarette was humorous. In the same scene I would have laughed if the panties lead to an alternate scene of Rainbow Dash doing something else at the part with Pinkie and Fluttershy. Also laughed at Rarity outside puking, guess she just can't handle the partying at all.

The voice acting was nice here and pretty funny. I guess you did all of them yourself right? Nice work on them though so humorous indeed.

Overall, good humorous parody. Enjoyable.

Mechabloby responds:

I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

The Twilight Sparkle scene where she's wearing glasses was just a little in-joke I had with a friend about hipsters and the japanese text was a little nod to Battle Royale (there's a few scenes where a black screen is used and text is used to elaborate on a character's emotions). Thank you for the review and I'm pleased you enjoyed it. :)

A quick little edit: if you're curious, for series 2, I am working on a new Equinophobia album with more glitched beats and whatnot. :) Again, thanks for the review :)

[The Sugar Claws: F.C.]

Deepy interesting

Well I found this quite interesting and nice to see there was a large amount of changes and other good things put into this one. Strange how the other ones in the series were mediocre in file size and this one has them all fit in along with a lot of cool bonus content detailing of what the series was all about. This was indeed an interesting way to finish it all up too.

The animation here was cool and I really liked the intro and outro. I think the only thing that could possibly make them better is having her mumble stuff I think. The "crap" intro where you speak looked well animated too and I liked it. However I can see why it got banned from that other site sadly, mostly due to the fork being lodged into her throat and the scene where her father forces her into having sex with him to satisfy his selfish needs.

I think the last three parts including the dark and grim father part were interesting. Nice to finally figure out that "Sugar Claw" was her sister along which feels like a giant plot twist and turning point as well to me. Sad how it spared her father despite everything he did to both of them as well. At least it gave her time to go to the local orphanage and possibly move away too.

The animation here was very nice and the simplicity in color was indeed create as the password needing bonus content says. Also without that part I would have never noticed the letters spelled out on the tree limbs sadly. Pink, blue, black, and white all seem to go nicely together here which is rather wonderful too.

The choice in music is fitting as usual too. The usual song you tend to loop I've noticed since the start of the series could possibly be better if edited it a bit and trimmed off possibly the last half second to make the loop perfect and so the tune never really has to stop. I think to make things interesting, for the last chapter you could have actually cut off the music so it goes with what that chapter is saying.

Much thanks for also changing up the font style so it is much easier for people to read for the most part. I noticed in the speech bubbles you still kept it a bit fancy looking which was really nice too I think. It gives a good feel to it. However I would agree with most people early in stating the text was hard to read for the most part (mostly because I never got truly fancy in writing cursive sadly) and nice to see it got changed so people could read it easier.

Overall, everything including the bonus content was great. Very mature content not for the really young or weak hearted I suppose. Very well done animated and story telling, great job.

I would have edited the "Waiting for tomorrow" track if I had sound software to do so, flash doesn't really allow you to make many edits to sound files you import. I also tried to get in touch with the artist who created the track to no avail.

Deviantart doesn't have any problems with displaying copious amounts of sadistic violence, but they draw the line at anything sexual regardless of the context in which it's presented. Indeed it was chapter six that made them uneasy...

People are complicated, I don't really want to present things as "black and white", because things are never "black and white". I mean when you look at an atrocious act like the school shooting at columbine, people tend to demonize the shooter. That's understandable, and it's one's right to do so, on the other hand we tend to forgot that the perpetrators of these crimes are still people; their families grieved for the shooters, because they weren't killers to them, they were their kids. Bill did very cruel, and disgusting things, but he's still a person, that doesn't change what he did; and it shouldn't serve as an excuse for his actions, but It's important to acknowledge a person as something other than a monster. In some situations no one wins, in some situations the only thing one can do is try to pick up the pieces and move forward.

Thanks for the very thoughtful review!

Not too bad

Well you did quite well here on making something very short and humorous anyways. Gives a good laugh to someone who enjoys watching this kind of stuff anyways. Kind of felt like nonsense at the same time but I think this turned out pretty good after all.

The animation was quite smooth although there were barely noticeable details only someone real picky would likely notice such as the spirit thing having a bit of black line leaving his neck open and other minor details. The animation was still pretty smooth though. The knife through the skull was pretty strange since I guess he was strong enough to do that. The bucket of chicken was amusing as it had Hell Fried Chicken on it hinting that the thing was from hell.

The audio was good but at some parts you kind of feel like they were moving away from the microphone when they were speaking taking down the audio level a little bit on this piece. The background music was pretty good though when the demon spirit thing was speaking.

The preloader was good here since it was Newgrounds. Only thing I would suggest is adding a replay button at end rather thank having it skip back to the first frame where the preloader is as it feels like it would become an endless loop to the person.

Overall, not really all that bad, it had its funny moments but it was pretty good overall.

Thanks for watching, added a play button so it just doesn't loop, I found that to be annoying.

Really entertaining

This was a good enjoyable piece of work I think. Liked the song at the start and what was it called anyways? Seeing as this was sticks at first I expected cruddy quality but it actually turned out to be pretty cool I think since you integrate a few other drawing styles at different times as well.

Probably the only bad thing I did not enjoy much here was the static screen parts, wouldn't it have just been easier to use a static gif instead? I digress though as it didn't take away from the quality at all.

The animation on each part was diverse and you seemed to change it up every time as well. The stick fights, the well drawn faces, the start, the intro, they were all real nice. When the dude began saying the only person to love him was someone left unnamed I wondered why the others wanted to kill him. Was still entertaining though so really nicely done there.

The music used was all great, some of the songs were good while others felt slightly unfitting but barely.

Overall, I really enjoyed this as it was rather entertaining and quite humorous at the same time. Really nice work, very enjoyable.

CooliSushi responds:

wow thanks dude! and nice comment, I loved it!

[-Another Dimension-]

Cute story

Well the story felt cute anyways.

The animation here was nice as it seems to be a blend of both 3D and 2D. How long did you spend animation the 3D part since the 2D pieces felt like it would have taken a shorter time to animate on this one I think. The 3D creature looked rather sad as the human things left it behind alone in its own world. The space, moon, and Earth at the end all looked nice.

The choice in music was rather nice as well I think. Gives a feeling that in the end they might just get to meet each other again one day in the future.

Overall, the story line was nice and the graphics were even nicer.

Carr77 responds:

Thanks for the comment xD

I am pretty new to 3D, so I made the 2D look noobish too :)
That's why I didn't spend so much time on the 2D :D

Again:
Thanks :3

[Achivement Madness]

Sweet

No offense but my favorite part was probably the credits due to how it starts and moves. Gives a feeling a lot better than watching normal credits or just having one single frame with credits put on them too. Very nice thing you did there too on that. The credits were nice since it had a harshly written fast writing feel done to it with a doodle beside them.

The animation was great and I like how he just does the killings for awards that don't seem to do much either. Very nice how you did a slow motion back flip, explosion, and close up of Tricky's face as well which were all nice to see here.

The music used was really nice and I like how you gave Hank a voice at the start, it was really great to hear.

Overall, very nice Madness day piece, very enjoyable.

Really, I said it myself, the credits are the best part :)
