Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Arc Infinitum 1]

It's one series popping up after the other! Though, this one does seem more like a movie than a series, even if it ends without any real finality. The bad guys aren't defeated. It's not even certain if the good guys win. It's unclear what'd happen next if nothing follows.

Animation looks great. The cityscape background in particular almost looks like a photo, but in dark locales it feels like not everything is affected equally by light. The faces almost glow on their own, even if the clothes seem to just absorb all light that hits them. Also, bit strange and chunky shadows playing on the character faces.

GITS type setting works pretty well, feels like it has the same somewhat saturated color scheme as well, similar soundtrack and a similar protagonist. I start imagining how awesome it'd be if there was every any similar serial animation made in tribute/homeage to Oni, could hold traits from both series but seems like it'd have a much quicker plot. Anyway, as always: good entertainment!

Kel-chan responds:

I have another part of this- I dunno if this will be a series instead of more of like an ova? meh semantics. I kind of like this better than KAGE actually but who knows.

[The Chunderfins]

Love the chiptunish pop music, and that flashy; flagrantly colorful and stylish sequence of animation that goes it! Though seems like an intro more than an animation, like a series just waiting to happen... wouldn't that be an innovative idea for showcasing an album, within a sequence of episodical music video type animation interwined with all audio? This was good!

[Encounters in The Keep e1]

Well that was... strange! What a contrast between what you hear and what's actually going on, which is... wait what is really going on here? Wonder if it's as random as it seems, or if there's some sense to it. Seems like one character'd be inanimate and the other unable of such emotional display... but the animation style's pretty interesting! Wonder how the plot will possibly progress even further in the next ep. Keep it going!

TheKeep responds:

Thanks for the feedback! At the risk of being too vague, I'll say that it's not quite as random as it seems, the characters in this (and future) episodes are odd and seemingly out of place but they have their reasons for being in The Keep! More will unfold in the next four episodes!

[Peeping]

Haha, nice one. Can't think of anything else to say here... simple joke, but I've been entertained! Keep it going!

Chauder responds:

Thanks~!

[Sonic Boom KnucklesGlitch]

Hmm one glitch that makes the game suck, or just the one glitch the pun's based upon? Always good finding out about what games not to play. :P Keep it going!

Cheetoh responds:

No lol the glitch isn't what ruins the game for me, it's the game that ruins the game for me lmao

[Zero-End Shirts Episode 2]

Woo, seems like one more series worth following! Good comedy, good animation; plenty of creativity here. Looking forward to the next one!

[The Great Jewel Thief]

Hah, a banana for a... whatever kind of awesomely expensive purple gem that is, seems like a fair trade! :D Animation's great at a first glance, but the movement isn't always the most natural, and her gaze shile she's swapping banana for gem, feels she should be looking more towards the monkey. Or overall moving her pupils more, not just phasing out as she does. Also a little inconsistency in the brick wall behind her when the monkey climbs down with the map, a tile's swapped. But it's good! Keep it going!

[Confusion Through Sand]

Interesting play with shadows and textures, it all starts from an abstract angle, slowly takes shape, takes you along on a venture through war and turmoil. Sound effects are great, animation's creative and effectual, it's a real voyage to watch. Nice work!

-cd-

[Garn]

First word's Garn huh, I get that from the title... second one...? :/ I get the joke's about that tendency to slur, but if I caught the word I feel like I'd get it better! Nice idea though, crude comedy with fuzzy fur-clad Koala critters. Happy Australia Day!

[Lazy Writing 13]

A new year; another good episode. :D Thanks for the entertainment!
