Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Rebel Burger Ep.1]

Was thinking there'd be a lot more rebel than burgers here. :) Like: fighting things out at the burger joint! All customers top-class fighters. Surprise twist. Something like that. Despite the name I like how this builds up though, and maybe it would've taken a surprise direction too, if it continued... started good.

[ONE GUN]

Do see the resemblance with that main actor. :) Love the style. Takes me back to that best era of movies like it, even if the animation's definitely not as elaborate, and simpler than some of your more recent work. Action scenes are pretty fast-paced and crazy though! And things seem to improve a bit with each scene, too. What a huge difference with the third one in particular. Even some 3D there. Much more detail. All those flying eyeballs though. XD Crazy.

Overall really enjoyed this. It's both like a blast from the past and something new entirely, and even now it really keeps the pace. Cool work.

[Pulsatilla (Teaser)]

A new dive into a that crisp, imaginative world of wind and gradient! Style's somewhat different, or maybe it's just the setting... but I do get the same imaginative sense from this as with the other one. Love the skies in particular. Vivid cloudscapes. Not as long as the other but: well-done.

[Behind the Scenes @LiFe.1]

Well this was fun! :D What a way you've come since this and the more recent Live Action takes too! The pixels are pretty big here but: awesome fun allthesame. All those crazy effects lmao. Guess you could get away with more on a lower resolution take... shame things like this could stay OK but that new one went away! Awesome work.

[Peanut Butter and Bananas on Toast]

Aaa suddenly I'm so hungry. XD This could definitely have been an ad. Like they used to make them. Animated an imaginative. Smooth style and great narration! Nice one.

[Twisted Punch]

I think a "High Quality" recommendation might work fine today. :) Pretty impressive work with the effects though, gradients, transparency, sunlight... for this to have been made with Flash it's pretty high-tech from back then! The introductory scenery gives me some Brackenwood vibes, spangled with a bit more color, and I really like that imaginative setting.

Once the wind starts blowing it all really starts getting wild too. :) An impressive showcase, and pretty exciting all the way, though it takes a real twist after the wind blows away that kite... from blissful sci-fi to a little bit horror... but then it ends! XD Man. What a cliffhanger. This could be a whole series... awesome start.

[Record of Dragon Burial 2]

Soo there's a third episode on route, too? :) If so I really can't wait for that. This was awesome. The style brings me back to the Xin era, but everything else about it's so much more refined, even has some almost Shamurai-Champloo-like music to match the setting. Creative fighting! And with finesse, too. Wonder if I'd seen the first episode too... time to backtrack!

[Jar of Pickles]

Whaaat happened there?! XD I thought this would be about the pickles. Random bird pops up and then eh... then it all ends in red! Love the build-up but wish it would've ended with some kind of clarity!

[Cyborgs (In Space)]

Imaginative, uplifting and fun... until that ending! Really kept the tension for a while there. I really like the style in this. Simple, vector-based, but smooth and so full of detail. It really morphs with the music too, and as for the music: it started catchy, and I like the theme (as scary as the cybernetic future is, too) but the autotune... it gets a bit much! I feel like if the song was a bit smoother this would've just been perfect. Animation's really a whole new level.

[Prison of the Clairvoyant]

So the plan's to keep a continual story going throughout the themes and jams? That's an interesting idea. I really like this, the clarity and style of the animation in particular, though as for what's really going on here... not so sure about that! If she's wondering around in a dream, or another world, and if only that last phase is the dream, or all of it, and she wakes up first at the end... or: if it's deeper than that. Guess I'll stay tuned! I am intrigued.
