DarkKiranami's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[John McCain]

Awesome

It's really great how you took something like this and made it work. What really interests me about this and your other works is that you take limited animation (the technical category for this sort of thing i believe) so far while making really original things. I like how there's more focus on the story elements of your flashes because of your use of limited animation. The music on this was great, the animation served its purpose, and the graphics were good. Great joke too, I thought the "my friends" thing was just random at first XD. Good work as usual, keep it up :]

[Zelda's PRIDE force]

Ahahaha!

Been years since i saw this, I always found the part where mario wakes up hilarious >XD. Crazy idea or not, this was awesome and I enjoyed it. Btw I never thought shadow with a gun was really gonna happen back when I first saw this. What an unpleasant surprise it was. Well anyway keep up the good work nalem :]

[Aristocrat Joke]

Ooooh now i get it

It's an aristocrats joke - but in reversed format, instead of the shocking part coming first and the unshocking part coming last, the unshocking part comes first and the shocking part comes last. Nice, though maybe he could have come up with a less offensive final line, since this could be misunderstood by some. Nevertheless, you did a good job on animating the joke.

[Sonic Shorts: Volume 2]

Great Work!

I especially liked the one with Mighty and the other forgotten characters. Great cast of animators, and the shorts were well executed. I really have no complaints about this, great job guys!

Amazing Animation

The animation was wonderful, with somewhat of an anime style. I also thing the music mixed well with it (loved the music btw). I await the day where I can reach this level of mastery, and when I get a drawing tablet. Excellent work, it's well worth finishing.

[Percy Vs. Nature]

Needs More...

It needs more in terms of story. It is simple enough, which is how a short plot should be, but you can come up with something better than this. I understand what you were going for, but as others said, the music didn't seem right, and you could work on the animation more. The walk cycle seemed a bit stiff, now I know that you would say "that was the style i was going for," but the type of stiffness I saw didn't seem like a style at all. Don't let the bad reviews discourage you, though, be open minded use them to improve your skills.

To some guy before me:
Since when are cartoons better when they make little to no sense? Those may be entertaining sometimes and in some cases but there have been many cartoons that had a good plot and were still funny. A bad/boring plot or lack thereof can ruin a cartoon and make it less appealing. What is the point of doing something if it doesn't make sense? How can you express yourself through art and animation if they don't make sense? If all a person wants is to express themselves then they have no use for feedback at all, which you just gave in the middle of that rant. It is also possible for a person with more skill to criticize a less skilled person's work, so instead of insulting a potentially skilled person, you should just agree to disagree.

[Gamer Elite: Episode 3]

Great Story!

I just realized that Captain N was like the Kingdom Hearts of Nintendo 0.0

On the flash...

I really like the story in this, but the animation could use some work. If you could work on making the animation more fluent, it would improve the flash greatly. To make it even better, throw in some frame by frame to mix it up a bit and make it more exciting and spontaneous (if you can, that is). Great work with the story, just keep it up and work on the look and animation :]

[Just a Pilot - Episode 1]

Why so low?

Even though it could have had more of a plot, and the voice syncing was a bit off, it deserves a better score than 2.80. The animation was good enough to see that you know what you're doing here. What's basically missing here is plot development (it doesn't have to be a complex plot or anything). Also, try not to skip things like the car crash, and if you do, it would be better to find a subtle way to transition to it that doesn't result in people saying, "what just happened? Oh."

Hey clownhero...

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.

[FLASH OFF]

Nice one my friend.

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.
