Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Avatar: The Ultimate Recap - BOOK 1]

Everything they do seems to be more by coincidence than anything else the way this is all depicted. XD Random encounters and locations and everything, moving from one place to the next one... it does have all of those key moments in it though, and that ride down the waterslide, that's pretty much the one part I remember most from the entire show. XD Love the style though... after a white the moments of waiting become somewhat monotone... it's like where always waiting to get to the next place, rather than really capturing the most intense moments. Plenty of laughs but... some change-up along the way would've been good.

[Iris X ciel]

Kinda strange smooching motions they've got going on here. XD Like they're hovering, flying away, moving about during their flight... not bad fluency, but not the most natural.

[The Clockmaker]

The background music and style of it all really reminds of The Toy Maker, but you do have the ticks there to give it a more click-like tone... do wonder why you opted for the toybox melody though? Seems like it's a bit out of context here.

As for the stopmotion itself it looks good! I like the detail, and the process, though when it's all over... I was expecting something more to happen there. It's very matter-of-fact. Like a documentary of sorts. Works well but was expecting something a bit deeper.

[Slasher]

A morbid, macabre, and endless loop too! The static and musical disturbance goes well with the animation. I like hot it morphs. I like the symbolism. I do feel the length is a bit deceiving considering it's a loop, but apart from that: masterful work. What a way to start the new year...

[Therapy Dog - Naughty Elf - HOLIDAY SPECIAL!]

Well that was a happy ending right? XD Sometimes you just can't control that Christmas spirit! Happy Holidays Tomorrows-Nobody!

-cd-

[The Forest]

That frog. XD Love the way it just appeared there. A fun, warm story this turned out to be too... and I like the style. Even though it's all built with simple tweens and stretched out characters, almost like papermation, it all flows together really well. Warm colors and scenery too, and a little background ambience when it's called for. Nice work.

[Blight]

Untraditionally dark vibes here for a puppet show!And not the kind of puppetry I was expecting either, but I do like it. The jagged knife, the silhouettes overlapping... really classy play on shadows and some smooth slight of hand there. Mealy liked the running bit too, trees streaming by on loop... it's cool to see how the scenes are made up too, and simple tricks all looking so effectual. And narrative via text like the old days! Heavy text, too. Gotta love how it just keeps building, all accompanied by the music, and all with a message too. Being torn apart by the grievances of the gods... aren't we all just paper shells of someone else. Beasts in our minds.

Paper bit scrolling by though... didn't seem as 'realistic' as the rest of it. But, overall, work of art. Appreciate how unconventional it was too.

[Golden Pussy: Pilot (Part one)]

Golden Pussy really had me expecting something different here. XD I love it though. Love the details. Love the intro walk. Love the random yet senseful style of it all... though M rating? Not sure you need a rating that high. Looking forward to the second bit though!

-cd-

[Getting Your Ears Lowered | Root & Digby]

That's hair? Always thought it was ears. XD Also this could've ended soo badly! Was just waiting for an accidental Happy Tree Friends-like stabbing thing but... it turned out OK after all! Gappy you keep it harmless. Good fun! Love these voices too.

-cd-

[Nihilo- Prologue]

Intro music here really had me thinking of Tintin for some reason. :) The sound quality's really on a whole other level! Animation style... experimentally messy. The motions are great, but these strange texture and solid color combinations again... they do look kinda weird. The longer it goes the more used to it I get I guess, as I start appreciating it more and more, or could it be... it's actually getting better and better...

Either way it's a reaaaally intense intro! When the first arrow hits it jumps to a whole new level. Chills. Holy shit. That ending really really changes everything. Goes from one of those ordinary (but good) chase and fight scenes to something I'm really immersing myself in. Looking forward to the real thing! Welcome back!!!
