Don't be such a jerk, just because it's not your sort of thing doesn't mean you have to be so harsh about it. You call it "random Japanese music" because you probably don't even touch that kind of music, and that is called being biased. You could come out with all of your own likes/hobbies and I guarantee a number of people will dislike every one of them. Even so, you should judge fairly instead of just dropping a low score and telling someone to get a life because you don't share their likes.
On the flash - it was well animated, although you picked one of the more slow paced endings. Not much else to say except it was decent.

At first, I didn't get the meaning. But after some thought, I finally understood. Then I read the comment you left again and realized the ironic hilarity of it all. The man is offering the other man these nice things, but when he realizes that this man doesn't want these nice things, and instead mindless violence, he angrily gives the man what the man wants - since he has no appreciation for the good things. By saying this is specially for Newgrounds, you are implying that the generic NG viewer feels that gore and violence is what makes a good flash, and is unappreciative of deep, meaningful things.
A lot of these people reviewing your flash are not realizing what it really is about - probably fooled by your claim that this flash has no meaning or sense.
Brilliant. I'm giving this a 5.

I like how you put such meaning into your flashes without giving it away in your comments - instead letting us figure it out ourselves. What I saw in this - despite the feeling that I'm missing some required knowledge - was that the first ones on Mars (the Mafia) ruled with their weapons (hence the guy masturbating in his gun, basically saying that he uses it alot). When the second group came (the Aliens), they beat the Mafia, but in doing so, they became no better than the Mafia was in terms of the way they ruled, and on goes the cycle of tyranny. The parts I didn't seem to get was with the bird and its pole - I'm guessing it represents a country? Anyway, very well thought out and animated, and the music fit your abstract style very well - 10/10, as I can't see any kind of flaws in this seeing as it looks so professionally done. Things like these deserve to be 5'd, and that's exactly what I'll do. Thanks for this intriguing flash :]

It was a bit on the short side, but that doesn't mean it wasn't entertaining.
Good Job.

"There should be more depth."
I wasn't sure that you could pull it off at the beginning because of how weak the plot felt, and my suspicions seem to be right. The only thing you need is more depth. Since this is only the second in the series, barely anywhere in the plot and it says to be concluded in the next episode, it leads me to the conclusion that this series is lacking in story depth (so far that is). This appears to be the beginning of a story - a man embittered by the death of his wife due to the unbending rules of a device. The only thing is, he has to do something now or it seems almost pointless. I could be wrong though, depending on where you take this in the next episode, I'm just uncertain on how you will fit in a meaningful plot in the next one.
On the flash - great animation and graphics, voice acting was decent. Remember that the plot has to go somewhere, that's the thing you need most here as far as I can tell.

Don't worry.
I make movies the way I feel like it, so wether there's a plot or not, I just want to finish telling a story I made up.
But somehow, I can guarantee you, the story of Red is to allow the story to grow towards the plot.

Can the people see where they are moving atoms even though they are so small? Does the device automatically create things with the atoms based on what thing you choose to make? How does the ability to materialize anything at any time help cops to keep the peace, if it is just something that will make weapons and other harmful things (since you could just buy those things in the first place, it's not like they haven't been used before). Not sure where you're going to go with the plot since it seems kind of shaky, but if you can make it work, go for it.
In some parts of the speech the guy said redundant things, you should try to minimize the parts where you repeat things. It looks like the most important part of this series would be conditions in which a person could remove another's device (obviously because it's named conditions), other than that we'll just have to wait and see what you do. Anyway, the flash was decent, but you could work more on the voice acting and syncing. Other than that, just choose wise scene set-ups and you're good to go :]

I watched this on whim, and boy was I lucky to have done that because this is a very artful flash. Great use of tweening and you nailed the folktale style. I'm not familiar with Slavonic legends but what I got from this is that it is basically about the death and rebirth of the earth. I liked your use of transitions and I especially liked how you came to the ending (or should I say beginning) , very nostalgic. Very skilled animation and great portrayal of a folktale, I'll give you a five.

It was short, to the point, and hilarious. It's one of those things where you don't even need dialogue to understand how funny it is. This was a gem of a flash and as Swordstick76 said it was very intelligent. There was nothing wrong with it as it got the point across (if it wasn't just for sheer hilarity XD) perfectly and was very funny so I'll give this a 5.

It was funny especially when one of the guys says, "trace bitmap faster illwill..."
I admit I didn't think it was going to be worthwhile in the beginning, but it was. Great flash and I hope you make more.

I believe you are referring to the power of the subconcious mind. The mind has a part that one uses to reason, maybe to think to themselves, basically anything you are aware you are thinking. That part is the conscious mind. The other part is what you are unaware of - the subconscious mind. The subconscious mind doesn't control you, rather you control it by feeding it your own beliefs. If you truly believe something, your subconscious mind receives that and works to make it happen in mysterious ways. Basically if you truly believe you are healthy, the subconscious mind will work inside of the body to make that true, the opposite will also happen - which is why many people remain sick. The subconscious mind can also work outside of the body as well (Example: Have you ever been just thinking about someone and immediately received a call from them?). Some people don't believe in anything of the sort, such as subliminal messaging, but though you can be affected by it, it can't make you do anything you wouldn't want to. If you were to tell yourself something just because you wanted it to happen, it wouldn't work, if you believed in what you said to yourself, it would. The outcome making suggestions to your subconscious mind never happens at an exact time, it comes along with life.
Now I'm wondering why I just typed all that XD. So yeah, that's what it means when you hear that overused line "believe in yourself" in the movies. Choose not to believe in something more, and you will live a boring life without noticing anything else but your physical world, choose to believe and you will eventually see the bigger picture.
If you think positively you will happy and healthy, that's what this means to me.
