Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[In The Beginning]

A pretty trippy trip! The pink really cuts against the blue in the beginning but... after that all is great. Can't say the animation's the most fluent, and character movement seems as simple as possible, but it's still all part of the style somehow. Creative turn from planet to planet and then... big bang in the cosmos? Interesting...

[Ocean Floor]

Wasn't expecting the rap. :) Meaningful lyrics for a punchy pixel animation though. It's an interesting clash of styles, and appreciatively imaginative compared to the typical texts. Appreciate the little bits of normal animation amidst the pixels, that take it out of perspective, and how well it follows the animation. Speeds up when the beat kicks in. Attacks following bits of the beat. I really like everything about this except for: that autotune. Feel there's a bit too much of that in music lately. If it was possible without: that would've been so much better.

[Toe, Petal, Cosmos]

Ambient, smooth and imaginative... I like the style. The music reminds me of the spaghetti western era for some reason, but it definately fits just as well with the cosmic forms as it would the dusty dunes of a harsh desert. Though when the people get involved... what the hell. XD I can't say I follow the transformation there but... the animation's great.. It gives a sense of chrysalis, cycles, evolution, but I guess there's something more there...

[Mario Scenarios - Super Princess Peach]

Well this was fun! :) Long episode too. So much variation. Such pace. It keeps both entertainment and excitement levels high throughout, and plenty of comedy twists. Really thorough work; scripting. Props on the VA's too! It's not all just like the originals but: pretty close! Music stays in the background but really helps out too. Classy composition all in all!

RylanLego responds:

Thank you VERY much!! I appreciate that you noticed all the work we put into this animation :)

[Organic Food : Foamy The Squirrel]

You do get what you pay for... but indeed, it's as much a commercial hoax these days as actual; good food. Nothing's a guarantee. Everything's a business. Foamy speaking some truth with this one.

[Miо̄]

That long corridor... instant The Shining vibes. Thought some scary twin girls might pop out at any moment but... none of that hmm. Things did turn out pretty strange as soon as she opens the window though. XD Seems like something that coulld've been made for the Bad Dream jam! Really liked the music that keeps jumping back, and jumping, along with the animation, and the pixel-style news. Those scenes though... moments from her life? The trip through the case...? The door opening...? I feel like I don't catch the essence of this, the ending, or what it's really meant to convey, but otherwise I did enjoy it! Nicely animated.

PixelPenn responds:

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. When I took the photo of the corridor I was thinking the exact same thing. It was a shame I missed out on the bad dream jam though and I wanted to mess around with something interpretive so I understand if you didn't quite catch the meaning of it. XD But all the scenes are relevant to the underlying story.

[CODE BLUE ANIMATED SERIES TRAILER]

Anything inspired by Akira's bound to be pretty impressive. :) Reminds of NEON Genesis Evangelion too, and similar shows, and movies, of which there's really no lack. Still hyped to see what this turns into though! The animation is AWESOME. For the voice acting though, first impression is they're a bit weak, and not the best recording quality. If that's more than just a first impression: might want to make some changes there. Otherwise hyped about this!

-cd-

[The KillerBater Headshot!]

Well that was random. XD Do appreciate the rocky Moana cover in the background there, and the animation's nonsensical and violent but... shows potential. Bit choppy progression, but for some scenes you've really worked in a lot of detail in the backgrounds. Especially Ed, Edd and Eddie's room. Could use a bit more work with the fluidity though! And maybe: point.

RedeyestheSecound responds:

You know what would probably get it a half star more if .. It was like an old game where its click and torture or out come with real audio instead of music I am thankful its not rated A

[The Witches Flower]

Well that broom sure came out of nowhere. :) Really nice fight, with both a nice twist and plenty of variation with the action - though feels strange the main character would show so much emotion during that final scene. After battling the other one so viciously she's suddenly not so vicious anymore. It all changes in those few moments. Seems a bit consistent, and not sure what the motive is, but otherwise this is all great. Really fluent; smooth.

-cd-

ExtinctionGames responds:

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed that little twist, and I appreciate the positive feedback.

In regards to her emotion, the witch and pirate responded to the scythe guy mostly out of fear. This is why the witch called her broom and fled. This is also why the pirate snatched a ride on the broom, despite already being in a fight with the witch.
The fight between the witch and the pirate was pretty even, however the scythe guy outmatched either of them.
Hopefully these details hope to explain the emotion I conveyed through the witches face, and also to a degree through the pirates face.

[Punching Tom (V2)]

A fiery punch! Though could use something more. Some story. Some fight. Something wholesome.
