NekoMika's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[60 Seconds of Awesome]

Pretty cool 10 seconds I guess

Had a pretty nice concept but imagine if you had strung them altogether as one very long and tediously awesome movie instead? That would have been a pretty nice little silly idea as well.

Animation: Seemed pretty cool considering I haven't seen that style in a while. Good details on the slow motion part in piece four though.

Storyline: Since I can't really sum them all up at once...

piece one: Calling up a guy just to shoot him dead, silly guy should have resisted the urge to pick it up. Oh well, he would have died anyway.

piece two: He throws a baseball and travels the world only to kill him by hitting him in the back of the skull, he must not know his own strength.

piece three: Smoking kills, enough said.

piece four: He can dodge one car but not the other due to sheer stupidity.

piece five: Watch where you skate.

piece six: Getting the ball in the hoop is not as easy as it looks.

Audio: All of them seemed very fitting but to me This Way DEMO seemed to be deemed most fitting with the attitude of each segment anyways. All the audio pieces were pretty cool.

Overall: Very nice little sketched animations, not much to fix, maybe a bit longer segments next time would be nice. Nice job.

Emrox responds:

I originally had "this way" alone, but it's such an overused song. That's mainly why I tried to find other tunes, but they didn't fit QUITE as well.

[One Cold Christmas]

Stupid Santa

Very nice work.

Animation: Silly and seems like that of most average animators. It gives the feel during the intro of something amazing too for some reason. Almost like a real cartoon short opening where it shows who all helped with making it.

Storyline: Santa goes down the wrong chimney when he finds the child he screwed over years ago wakes to see Santa in front of him completely enraged and antics begin. Then at the end Santa knocks him down and beats the crap out of him. Then he throws al ump of coal at his son.

Audio: All very fitting at the appropriate moments actually.

Overall: No improvements are needed, very nice work on this flash very Christmas like in attitude and tone. Also the moral is don't screw with Santa.

Thats a very well thought out review. Thanks!

[Smoke's Rude Awakening]

A little improved

I see you changed it a tad bit in the intro from the last time. This can still be improved I think though.

Animation/Storyline: Bunnykill characters and an M&M guy, apparently who woke Smoke up and he starts to cuss him out since he magically got Tourettes somehow when he wakes up. I noticed you zoomed in on his face a bit and showed detail for one of the eyes and the mouth while he was speaking which seems to be pretty nice I guess.

Audio: First it was a soft silly tune and then he wakes up and sounds like Tourette's guy, you hear him fall from his chair and throwing his sunglasses at Snowball.

Overall: If you like Bunnykill then you could always create your own characters to use, even though you say this took a month I think if you sped the process a bit and put a bit more heart and effort into this then it could go a little farther as well, nice effort anyways.

I may add subtitles and stuff like that

[MarLo]

Lacks a lot

Storyline: Mario is about to finish the level and is sniped by Master Chief who then takes the flag and somehow it magically ends back up on the stick and he somewhat humps Mario.

Audio: Kind of meh since I couldn't hear the songs too well but heard the sound effects just fine.

Animation: Sprites, I know you're attempting these only until you get good with flash but it doesn't happen magically, instead of just using pre-done sprites try to create some of your own sprites instead. A UPS Mario and Orange Master Chief could have proved to be amusing and the dimensions for width were a little messed up as well.

Overall: I really don't see why these types of flashes are popular, yes I see a lot that were worked on greatly but this didn't seem to make the cut too awful great, it was far too short. Also the sprites were kind of dull, as in THESE are the kind of sprites I see all the time.

Hopefully you can improve in the future, so-so animation here.

Thanks for the submission, I have benefited from this review. This was a first submission for myself and I completely agree with you, it is surprising to see many fans of this type of work.

Cheers!

[The Things We Never Said]

Very nice story

Animation: Animation was very good here, although I still don't understand the concept of cartoon people almost always having four or three fingers for some reason or another. Some parts kind of made you feel sad while a majority just makes you feel good for no reason.

Storyline: Two childhood friends who somewhat fall in love and life tries to rip them apart from each other and in the end it's back to how it began, friends but life will always try to get at them. =[

Audio: Very nice song, what's it called anyway?

Overall: No real need to improve this at all, very nice job.

[JPB '09 Animation History]

Kind of meh..

Animation: Indeed you've gone through improving over time but you can still do a lot of improvement. As for the sprite section could have added a bit extra to both characters to give them a little bit more of a custom feel to it. The Hobb from Calvin and Hobb seemed to be alright for decent animating.

Storyline: Pretty much just you showing us three steps you've gone through in animating, learning, pixels, and finally just animating without use of pixels what so ever. Seems to be alright I guess.

Audio: Seemed to be fitting for only the second part with pixels, the music just before credits was certainly odd but made me giggle for a moment.

Overall: Even though these are phases you've been through you can still improve heavily.

JPB responds:

Thanks, i just wanted to see what people actually thought about my animation, since the score lies a lot sometimes...
as for adding to the characters in the sprite part, i've actually made the twomp an angry faic twomp, but i guess that people didnt really noticed that, although i understand what you mean...
--thanks

[The Sculpture]

Sinister and eerie

Storyline: Really get the feel it's in modern time in a remotely controlled area no one else can go to. Apparently the investigation of an unknown creature or something like that. It just pops up everywhere at random. O_O

Animation: Very nice detail, like how the effort is put straight into it and made to look highly disturbing.

Audio: very fitting and creepy

Overall: No improvements needed.

PBass responds:

Thanks for the review! You're right it does take place at a remotely controlled area called Site 19. They have hundreds more creatures and objects there that they experiment and test on. http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com containts a huge list of articles on them. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[Zimmi EP 1]

Silly but nice

Animation/storyline

Apparently he had to go hunting for something and accidentally killed his friend instead I see or he died or something along those lines then he came back to life and they had a nice meal.

Audio
I liked the choice of background music, very soothing and silly at the same time, very nice job, also great voice acting as well.

Overall
I see no improvements needed here and I enjoyed this a lot, very nice flash and story.

Thanks!

[Alexis' Valentine's Day]

Pretty good anyways

I didn't see any storyline here anyways, seems to flow in with your fanfic that you have posted in your blogs as well. The pictures moved entirely slow but I can understand why you would do it if your syncing it with the changing chords of the song which was pretty cool I guess.

I understand the choice of song but who was she missing the whole time? That's what really seemed to be missing, she wants someone to love her but we have no idea who she wants it to be so it would be nice if you decided to clear that up for all of us who view this as well.

The screen was way to freakin huge, could have shrunk it down so that there would be no gray on the sides since that got really annoying really fast to me and the screen was really small, might want to have used a different rock love song so that it wouldn't be such a huge file as well.

Still very nice effort on your part anyways.

SilentCobra responds:

Well I know this song is an excellent ballad and it comes from the heart. Though I don't know the story behind it like "Kickstart My Heart" was inspired by Nikki Sixx's near death experience via a heroin OD. Yes I know the screen is size is messed up, but the person she's missing is irrelevant. I submitted this because it was 2 days before Valentine's Day and if she were real, well, think about that for a few minuted. Thanks for the review.

[Planet Nuke]

Wonderful

Storyline
He seems to just be simply bringing happiness to a planet filled with pain, misery, sorrow, dullness. Then the sun comes out and makes everything the way it should be, decent concept to me.

Animation
This was almost perfect to me but the helmet breathing part looks like a beak instead of where he is breathing instead, if it hadn't been for that this could have gone so much smoother. Everything else went splendid.

Audio choice
Pretty nice, before happiness was a metal song and after happiness was a calm and happy tune.

Overall
Just change that thing from beak to breathing spot.
