Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[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!!!

[Kirby reanimate shot]

What a beastly beginning! :D If ever a particular scene started the right way this is definitely it. Short but vicious work!

[How the Bear Ate Christmas...cookies.]

DM's PM here on NG ya know. ;) But I do love these Bear-based bits of crazy, Christmas related and all as they are with this one! Was not expecting such a victim though. XD But that ending... hmmmmmm... horse head in bed like The Godfather? Whatever happened to Santa's big revenge? Not really catching that bit...

[The Best Mall Santa Ever]

Well all's well that ends well... sorta! I for one do appreciate the witty grip too. And you caught it all on tape! Bad puns = good fun.

[Maxine!]

Well that was short. XD Can't say it's bad but.. very short. Animation's great. Maxine's got charm. Something longer with her in it and I'd be a watching willing.

[Stone_Meal]

Really dystopian mood you build up with the music here, and the three-dimensional style of the animation feels pretty unique too, I like how it grows but... then it just fades to blackness in the end. Feels like it could've been the start of something bigger! Or ended a bit more conclusively.

[Bob's Life - Episode 1 (Full)]

Not sure how that flashback really related to the eye hmmmmm... I like the animation style, both creative and detailed, but the story itself... seems like it just jumps into something you might need prerequisite knowledge for here. Even though it's the first episode. Maybe it'll all make sense with the sequels though... either way it's an interesting start! Looking forward to seeing more.

engageanimation responds:

Thanks for the feedback it's much appreciated!! We were trying to create an ongoing gag that develops in subsequent episodes where Gerry has more flashbacks and more is revealed to the audience including how he lost his eye. We did cut a small clip out when Gerry returns from his flashback in this episode where he makes reference to his eye saying "that was the same night I lost my eye, not quite sure how that happened though..." but maybe we should add that back in based on your feedback. Anyway thanks again!!! :)

[Maxine Vlog 01]

I know what you mean like. Do like those too. Though do feel like this is a pretty short and out of context clip to be considered real comedy... some kind of punchline or conclusion... would've been good! Animation does look good, and voicing's good, but it's pretty short and non-mentionable otherwise.

[Face Punch : Foamy The Squirrel]

It does happen. :) Good stuff Foamy. Good stuff.

[Humanity Hyuck Hyuck!!! (2017)]

What a trip! Overindulgence, temporal insanity, psychedelic self-loathing and cynical... would've thought it was a drug-induced delirium more than a session of psychological turmoil and self-insight if the description didn't say it... a certain part of me relates, a certain feels it's just too exaggerated to feel real, a certain part that it's disturbingly well done;. Really captures that angst of existential crisis. Whatever part triumphs it was something else! And you keep the madness going for soo long. Too. Work of art. I do feel it could've ended in a darker, deeper; somehow more conclusive way, though!

Cookerzilla responds:

I agree with the conclusion bit- I had some reservations when coming back to the edit on this film and think i should've had a miniature brain show up at the end with him interacting with it (duh)

Appreciate your kind words my friend!!!
