MysticShinHanKu's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[It's a Sign!]

nice work

This was a good looking animation. The art was very nice looking, I liked the color choices and the backgrounds. It was very soft and had good dimensions. It wasn't all flat or in your face.

The frame rate was a little slow, the movements of the faces could have been much quicker for a more fluid-like movement. The audio was a little week, but I don't think this was meant to be the greatest animation anyway.

Nice job, and interesting ending. A solid animation, and it's good to see one about Angry Faic lol

[If You Were Gay, Roy]

not bad

The animation was fine, could have used more movement. It was more like still drawings with small eye movements and lip sync. there wasn't a whole lot of frame by frame. That could have been improved.

The audio was good, but wasn't yours, so no plus or minus there.

The art style was cute and nice, but could have used some improvement. The white, Brawl Taunts-esk white BG was a little disappointing. But I can tell you made this just for fun, and it kind of went crazy out of proportion. Nice job nonetheless. A solid animation, but this song has been animating several times yet the "Brawl" theme sky rockets it.

Nami-Tsuki responds:

Finally someone who understands! Lol.

My next flash will have all those areas you pointed out improved. Thank you for the criticism.

[Typical Call of Duty...]

bah haha

Hilarious... I can't believe people actually let their young children play online and subject themselves to the countless amounts of angry teenagers that cuss them out when get pissed at those dumbass kids.....

bah. Hilarious.

[DBZ- Goku Turns Evil Ep1]

needs some work.

This wasn't bad, but the beginning was very slow and uneventful. For a non-DBZer, or someone who doesn't normally watch sprite movies, this could make them close out immediately. Add something to look at during the dialogue. Voices aren't completely necessary, while it definitely helps, but the dialogue itself needs work. The lines were very half-done and out of character. Team up with a friend to write a script, and improve the text backgrounds and font color. It was very difficult to see sometimes especially around Shenron. If I sat back in my chair, I couldn't see too well.

The fighting was alright, but it wasn't anything special. Sprites limit you so you have to make use of camera angles, which you did some, but not enough. You know about SMBZ, so watch those fights. While there are few moves, he creates situations that are impossible to encounter with in-game sprites. The perfect example is Yoshi vs Mecha Sonic. That was amazing. I usually am not completely captured by sprite movies, but his fights are wicked. Take note.

The story itself was very uninteresting. Just Goku becoming Evil sounds like a very boring and flat plot. This doesn't need to be Ep 1, it could have just been "Goku vs Piccolo," because it offers little more than that. Also, the 36 time makes it seem like in a day and a half, they can pretend none of this even happened. I'd work on story, dialogue, plot devices, and improve on the fight scenes. Voice Acting is recommended, but that's up to you.

Good luck.

I'm a Strategist, which means that I rarely ever try to ask anyone else for help to do anything as I prefer to find the answer myself. I'm not saying that I can't ask a friend to help, just saying that 8 times out of 10 I won't regardless of the outcome of circumstances (unless its dire).

The story it self is not great but I'm not good at them, so I think this is pretty decent for me. Others have said that they like the story and they it's interesting, but everyone has different opinions and I've learned I can't please everyone.

Dialogue could be improved, I won't lie. I will go watch more episodes of the actual series to try and cope with that more. 36 hours is a long time to do destructive things while evil, especially for a DBZ person...let alone in DBZ a day could take like 20 episodes because that is how they did it, but it isn't realistic but somewhat understandable.

The plot device basically ties in with the story explanation. I'm not really good at complex plots, or even making up really good ones. This is basically off the wall and I thought it would be interesting if Goku, instead of saving the day, was actually a cause for ruining the day. I didn't know any other way of going with this so I chose this way.

As for the fight scene, I entirely know that it needs work which is what I intend to do to it, so nothing else I can say about it.

Thx for the most constructive review received all day. I agree with you on most of the things you said, but based off the way I am and how I'm doing it some stuff probably won't be changed.

Nice.... an unlabeled Awesome spoof.

There weren't really any real jokes. You just said what each enemy did and screamed like egoraptor minus the funny :(

Animation was fine.

Voice acting and sound quality were great. 4.20? no no no...

2/5

[From Player to Playa]

I don't get it...

Your last submission about the "y" was meh too. It's just tweens of symbols. There's no real art style, barely a storyline, and you threw egoraptor in there which bumps your score indefinitely. I just don't understand. Why would you even want to make this?

It has no real substance, and while it was well made, I suppose, it didn't look like a lot of effort went into it. It was a mediocre submission at best, and does not deserve Daily Feature AND Weekly User's Choice...

Why did it get it, though? Because newgrounds worships certain people? I don't understand. Why can't we just vote on the best submission as they are, trying to disregard exactly WHO made it. It doesn't make a bit of difference. If it's awesome, vote it up, if it's mediocre, vote it in the middle, and if it's bad, blam it. It seems like newgrounders haven't realized there are buttons in between 5 and 0.

The-Super-Flash-Bros responds:

I agree that most people on NG will vote in extremes, or at least thats how it feels. Can't be sure, though.

And I made this because it was fun, and its made a lot of other people laugh. Can't get fairer than that?

Excellent job!

Marcy! Why can't you stop getting better and better with flash? You are so good! You've been progressing like no other!

You are such a talented dude. We need to work together again sometime soon! Awesome job, my friend. You are one of newgrounds finest whether you know it or not.

This was great. Audio was perfectly placed, well mixed, and a very cute concept. A perfect newgrounds adaption of Wall-E. I loved it. The movements were so 3D. Wicked man.

[Zone of the Awesome]

didn't need to be awesome

This was a pretty good submission. I was very impressed by some of your frame by frame. The mixing and sound effects were placed well. Voice acting and audio quality wasn't amazing, but not bad.

I don't think this needed to be an awesome movie. It was not as fast paced as an awesome movie, and the only thing I found "Awesome" - esk about it was the art style, but only sometimes.

You should have edited your art style a little and cleaned up a few things and made it your own stand alone parody. Ego is good with what he does, but he didn't invent video game humor, so you could totally make your own. The mech fight part was very well done.

Nice job. You are a good animator, but aim a little higher than submitting a parody of a parody. Go for parody first ;) Can't wait for your next submissions.

Galneda responds:

Not as fast paced as the awesome movies? In my opinion, I thought it was TOO fast...

Yeah, I know he didn't invent video game humor, but I'm a fan of Egoraptor's work, and in a way, this sort of pays tribute at the same time as being a flash test for myself. Granted, I could've done a much cleaner job if I wanted to, the only consequence being it would probably have been submitted in February. By the time I finally submitted this, it was a huge weight off my shoulders...so I have no regrets. :D

Thanks very much! All I can do from here is aim higher.

[Sometimes, y]

it was alright

An interesting concept. No offense, you guys are great animators, some of the best here, but I do think the score is a little huge for this type.

The animation was done well, but mostly tweens and hopping letters.

The audio was fair, very whispered and not amazing. Color would have been nice to highlight certain moments, but you just made it in a night. I understand.

Overall a fun submission, funny, and you probably had a good time. Nice job.

[Cpt.Falcon Hyes]

Very well done

Almost like a video game! Great job - this was done very well. The walking cycles were very game-esk. The mixing was very nicely done.

the best were the extreme close ups with awesome art. Very old school Nickalodeon of you a la Rocko's Modern Life, Ren & Stimpy, and even Spongebob.

Jokes were well done - fbf and use of tweens were great. A great submission. You've been making lots of improvements in your recent submissions. Let me know if you ever need a voice actor

Gonzossm responds:

WILL DO :D
