reikiba's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ankh Robot Gunchest Ep.1]

nice

The art and animation are incredible. It has a very anime-like feel. Nice animation pace and action.

I'll have to wait and see how the story unfolds. So far, I'm not too impressed with the story. Seem kind of generically sci fi so far.

[Physics 102]

.... What?

That was interesting animation and the text effects were cool, but the humor was non-existent and I had no idea what the hell was going on.

It's like you randomly stuck a physics tutorial in a clip from a bad mobster movie. The delivery was just flat-out confusing.

deathfun responds:

Well allow me to clarify then.
What I had to do was present details regarding the ride hence the blueprint part. The voice clips of the Russian are also not random, but rather demonstrate how one is feeling before, during, and after the ride. When he says "I am fast" then falls over, it indicates that if one were to get up too quickly from the ride, they would feel that sensation of being tipsy. The part after the Physics equation was simply add-on material to fill in time, so yes. Zero significance and I could see why you couldn't follow it.

As for the humour, some people find certain things funny while others do not. I can not please everyone in that sense

[Snorlax Vs Snorlax]

that was really funny

Got funnier the longer I watched. Nice animating.

BTW, the neck-snap action should happen a lot faster.

[Skyward Durp]

well...

What little animation you had was well-animated.

I don't know why some people think whipping up something in a very short amount of time and releasing it is impressive. It may be a good exercise, but it's better to spend enough time to make something impressive of a decent length.

You had more text than you did animation, it seemed.

[It's time to be a hero]

Really good

It's nice to see a stick animation that doesn't involve gratuitous fighting. It flowed nicely and it had style.

I thought the pace was good. Just because stick fights are fast-paced doesn't mean all stick animations have to be. I got the impression of a slightly above-average person putting on a cape and trying to achieve greatness--not to be over-dramatic. It looked like the stick hero had to exert a lot of effort to do what he did.

[SSSWarriorCat ep 2 part 3]

hm....

The voice acting needs alot more work than the artwork--though, the artwork could use work.

I can still barely understand Whitestorm. The volume of his voice seems half the volume of anyone else. And the voice actors need to put emotion into their lines. The more monotone they speak, the harder it is to understand. Subtitles would help.

The artwork in the closing credits was much better than the artwork in the animation. During the clan meeting, one of the cats in the crowd looked like a doberman. Lionheart is starting to look ridiculous to me (he reminds me of a pokemon) --but maybe that's just me.

(At one point, I was expecting Lionheart to pick Kit up by the scruff of the neck and present him to the clan while they all roared (or yowled) and "Circle of Life" was playing in the background, but that's another story. But seriously, it would be so easy to make a parody of this.)

Playing music during the dialogue is distracting, even if you keep it down. Even without music to distract me, I have trouble understanding them sometimes. In general, music should be played when there's very little or no dialogue.

I still find the series interesting enough to keep up with. But I'm still deducting a point because I think the author needs to post his own work himself.

wanton360 responds:

ummmm...there are subtitles...and if your so annoyed at the fact he doesn't post his own work, YOU TELL HIM, NOT ME. I see a lot of lionheart = pokemon so it's definitely not just you (I have the same feeling). And there's subtitles so the music shouldn't be annoying.

[Bad Parenting]

Nothing to do with bad parenting

Just a stick figure psycho with a chainsaw busting down a door. For all we know, he may not have kids.

[Goldens Supermega Fight]

ironic... or something

Very minimalistic. It's dull and boring, but it kinda reminds me of Power Rangers for some reason.
