[The Ghoul and the Girl]

ooh

what a nice little short.
I liked the old-school art style. A dash of loony toons and a dash of disney.

Good camera shots as well.

wiffle ball

I really shouldnt like these things.
I really shouldnt.

But damnit, I enjoy them so much. I could sit here and point out all the stuff that I normally give cartoons lower scores for. But it wouldnt change the fact I like these so damn much.

It must be all the camp. It does things to your mind.

JohnnyUtah responds:

i know i know...im a tweening faggot

still, i expected something lower so im grateful...i think

[Taxi]

quite funny

graphics arent stupendous but they arent in an anime style and there's some traditional animation here.
The voices are awful but I think that makes it even funnier.

And its short. Thank god its not long and killed the funny before the end.
A nice wee package.
Good job.

aap responds:

Yay! Thank you. :)

[XXXI 1 : Outcast]

DESERVES a 4/10

When I first watched this flash it seemed like there was no sound. But there was text scrolling up the screen.

"oh the volume must be too low" I thought.

SO I turned up the volume so I could hear the worst attempt at an English accent ever.
You might have worked hard on the backrounds and plot, but this lacks any polish at all.
So lets just break it down into some easy to read points whats wrong here

*** first is the voices. the volume is too low and the sounds are too loud, thus drowning out the voices. Also all the accents were awful. You sound like you're 12. But a better mic, they dont cost much. It sounds like you're shouting through a hotdog bun. It's so muffled. And get some voice actors. All the characters sound like preteen kids.

*** Its nice that you made your own original sprites but these dont look good. Very generic "fantasy genre" designs. Also, animation in flash where you tween all the body parts of your characters around doesnt look good. It never has. It looks cheap and unnatural and lazy.

Things I liked:

*** the plot. if you could make this look not so crappy, it could be a very nice series. but as of now it looks like a newbie at flash did it.

*** the backround art. particularly the forest. light grey color pallets and soft lighting choices made it look very nice. the only trouble is, your tiny rectangular characters stick out way too much with their bright colors and pencil-tool outlines.

Of course, you're not going to read anything I wrote and will just whine that I didnt give it a 10/10 due to your own arrogance.

I hope you try harder next time.

Blakant responds:

Lol, I use my sucky speaker & still can hear it fine, dude.

But drawing to me are good, it juz some of the movement, so I'll fix on that, I think.
I thinking the drawing style of the character r to be cartoonish, so it'll have a quite thick lines... but I dunno what u mean by rectangular character, its not rectanglular shape, for sure..

Btw, I dint ask for 10/10 score, juz a fair review & scores.
4/10 sounds like I dont even dont give a fuck to my own work, aight?

Appreciate u time

[Advenntuers Of Mareo Man]

hahahah

funny

also a great tribute to arfenhouse

LordZeebmork responds:

Heh... This wasn't intended to be a tribute to Arfenhouse, but yeah, I can see how it could be one.

[Disk extermination]

ooh

Everything really meshed here. The black and white with occasional grey tones really gave the feel of watching an animated comic.

And it was funny, and the backrounds were all shaded very well.
Quite professional.

Oddly, the animation reminded me of Bill Plymptons work, although I cant put my finger on why exactly. Either way, good stuff.

NOBU777 responds:

Bill Plymptons! He is seldom known in Japan. However, being compared with a veteran's creator is glad.

[Coffee Break.]

yay

I was so hoping you would do this.

As stated before, I like this quite a bit.
Quite a bit indeed!

Foxcato responds:

Thanks a lot Zekey:)
