DannyP's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Girlshan in Paradise Ep4.]

Huh

I actually laughed a little.

[Andrew's Birthday]

Awkward

The angle of the hand and the way it was raised looked rather awkward. The person's head would have to be far to the right of the screen for this to make sense. Actually, I think this hand's pose is impossible. If possible, you should try to get a photo of your hand with a cellphone like that and try to copy it.
I think it would seem more natural if we had a first person view... like, no one would hold a phone in front of them like this.

Pretty decent details on the phone and background.

For future movies/art, I'd recommend considering and/or testing to see if something you're drawing is humanly possible and/or natural.

NGReviewEater responds:

Hmmm I see what you mean about that. I'll keep that in mind for future animations. Thanks for the review though!

It's actually more of a practice of tweening and such, but still you have a valid point.

[Mask]

Unpolished, overrated

Pretty cool, but it's mostly just sketches with no backgrounds or real details. Well, your comments suggest you know exactly what's missing, plus this is 5 years old.

[[KK] Thunderkats 6]

You're ruining the Kitty Krew's reputation

I think this is the first time I've bothered to watch one of your movies, and it was actually somewhat amusing, unlike what I've come to expect from Kitty Krew spam. Are you just borrowing their name to ensure these things don't get blammed or what?

[The Matrices Reloaded]

Not as good

Some of the jokes were pretty funny, but it sure dragged on for a while. I think your other one was better overall.

[The Matrices]

Amused

I hope it wasn't for a graded assignment for your class. Anyhow, the poor quality and nonsense of it all made me laugh a little, as well as your "Either way, it exists." bit of the description.

[A-train]

Alternative

If it does get blammed, click on the "My Account" button at the top-right part of the screen. Then scroll down to "DUMPING GROUNDS" and click the "Free File Upload!" link. You can upload your file there, just you'd probably need to log in to get the link (unless you already have the link on the computer at your goodbye party or whatever; then just go to the link without logging in).

As for an actual review, the way you had the lines drawn was kinda interesting, but this was pretty boring for an uninvolved person like me. You only drew one picture, after all.

cool74 responds:

I understand what you mean, see when i uploaded it, it wasn't done i was just uploading so i would have a space in which i could upload the revised submission.

[Blind: Ending theme]

Decent

The cherry blossom petals at the beginning were pretty cool. The contrast of the red on black was a little hard on the eyes at first.

I think your side view heads need work (seems to be a surprisingly common problem with people doing anime/manga style). You can do it however you want, of course, but I recommend bringing the ears closer to the center. Having it so far back makes it look like the character has a really big jaw or something and generally doesn't look very attractive/cute, and it seems like your style is meant to be more cute. What I do is have the part of the ear that's attached to the head be very close to the horizontal center (on a side view). The side view eyes looked a lot like front view eyes; remember that they shouldn't appear as wide on a side view (the eye itself, not just the pupil/iris/whatever; I think you did that part alright).
Look for side views in professional anime/manga work that you think looks good and compare it to your own.

The part with the eyes scribbled over was pretty sweet, as well as the coloured part that followed after. Anatomy seemed pretty good overall, though there were some parts I had a problem with.

I didn't really like the vocals for the song... I dunno if that was done by you/someone you know or not, though, so I won't get into details on that.

exninja123 responds:

thanks for the critique!
yeah, the vocals were kinda bleh....

[Jimmy Piss]

Cool

You have sweet style and excellent use of blurs and shaking the screen. Of course, this is very short and has no sound effects or backgrounds, so I'm not giving it an amazing score. The green stuff could have maybe disappeared more smoothly, but I kinda like the roughness of it. I dunno if you'd wanna try a faster frame rate maybe?

XDarknessX2 responds:

Yeah like i said it was just a quick test so the next one i make will have some sound and ill add a background.

[Space Station 13 Ep.7]

Unfortunate

I was hoping this would be about the hilarious game "Space Station 13" rather than spam.
