DarkOtaku's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Starfish]

I love it so much, bear! XD

This was so well done/planned out, there's not a single thing to criticize. The ethereal music only adds to the already considerable level of sincerity, eloquence, and beauty. It sends shivers down my spine every time I watch it! XD

Very emotionally provocative, and also, your animation is awesome! XD

I really think this could become your insignia, like pixars lamp, or dreamwork's moon guy.

Nami-Oki responds:

Thank you bearsy, but I don't think many other people understood it... Maybe I should submit it to another site?

[Kit's Halloween Party!]

Yaaaa Squaaaare!

I love this so much! And I vote on it every day (when I can get to a computer ><), and watch it as much as ah can! <333333333

The animation is brilliantly done, and I love the unique style that yew've achieved! The sound effects and voice overs are adorable, and the music was well placed, and pulls everything togeteher mellifluescently. The story is well thought out, featuring each established character in a fair light, and coming together for a warm and cuddly ending that's accessible for all ages!

I think you're really onto something big with the whole Skelanimals animations! XD It could easily become NG's next big iconic flash series! You should absolutely make more! *squiggles*

Nami-Oki responds:

Sank yew mah little bearrr <333 you're so cute and woot and sweet tah me <3

[[KK] Meow Mix Collab]

Nothing too new or interesting

There was some good animation in there, and I could see this making it past the blam team easily.

Just one question... What's with BugFuzzyKitten's submissions? Big Throbbing Black Cocks? Blindfolded hentai porn? What? Newgrounds doesn't need that.

This submission is fairly well done, however, and should make it into the meowmix section if there is one... If there isn't, suggest one.

LordOfKetchup responds:

Nothing we can improve on? Also, bfk is kind of a fag, so he asks people to put penises in his submissions so he can get off to them

[Whoa, It's Warcraft! ep.1]

Not bad! ^_^

First off, I'd like to thank you for using my music in your animation. I've been having alot of trouble exposing my music lately, and deeply appreciate all the help I can get.

Now, on to the review!

GRAPHICS: 7
I think your art skills show alot of talent, but could use some polishing, here and there. Also, I noticed at times that your artwork was reminiscent of Legendary Frog.

STYLE: 9
Once again, some elements I noticed from Legendary Frog popping up in your style. Don't get me wrong though that's not a bad thing. I love his style. Just make sure you evolve and break away from it when you're ready.

SOUND: 6
Not very well executed. You might want to find someone to help you out with female voices. And there are freeware programs (or hackable programs if ya know what I'm talkin' about ~_^ ), that remove pops and crackles from recorded audio. I don't know any off hand, but I'm sure google won't fail you. Nothing to criticize about the music. But it would have sounded nice if you'd faded it in at the begining and faded it out at the end, so it wouldn't just cut in and out like that. Once again, there's audio programs that can do that.

Violence: 7
Not much of it to speak of, and I don't know why it's a menu option in the review box. Oh well. I'm unofficially declaring that "violence" now covers the coreographing and execution of fight-scenes, as well as violence. They weren't bad, and they were fairly well paced, but you could have made it flow a little better. Don't worry, you'll get better over time.

Interactivity: 4
Also, I hate this menu option as well. So I'm unofficially changing it to cover "programming skills and execution," as well as interactivity. Nothing to interact with besides menu items, so I never give anything a higher than five with that in mind. However, You've got a play button, a replay button, I think I saw a link or two, and a loading screen. The loading screen could have had a bar, so you could see how far it was done, so I'm taking 1 point off for that.

Humor: 9
Mmmmmmmmm.... Humor. Actually to be perfectly honest I've never played WoW, so I didn't get most of the jokes. That's why I'm giving it a high score. Must admit though, I now almost feel like playing WoW. Almost. (pssssst... I dislike Massively Money-Eating Online RPGs).

OVERALL!
Basically, I enjoyed the animation overall. The graphics were decent, and the style had little to criticize. Sound was buggy, but it did the trick. The fight scenes were alright, but they could have moved a little faster. That takes a lot of trial and error though, so no finger pointing there. There wasn't really Interactivity, but you had the basic menu options, and aside from the lack of loading bar, I had nothing to complain about. Even though I've never played WoW, I still found some of the jokes pretty funny. Also, I am now looking into WoW to see if it can be hacked (oops, was that my outside font?).

FINAL VERDICT: 8

keep up the good work man! ^_^

P.S. Check out my animation!

Real-Big-NUKE responds:

Hehe, wow, a serious analysis! Thanks for all the advice, I didn't really learn anything about sound yet, and I definitely plan on spending more time on that. I've also gone out and found all kinds of tutorials on menu options and stuff. Unfortunately, as far as art goes, I am completely graphically fixed, and I can't seem to learn audio that well. I'll keep practicing and hopefully the WiWoW ep.2 will be well-done all around =P
