Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Kyubi VS...]

Say what? Who was that mysterious character at the end?? Transformation to Vullpix was awesome random though, and that phone lmao, way of the world nowadays, trying to capture the moment instead of living it. Great work!

[Pico Day Battle!]

That was a pretty intense fight! Awesome action scenes, detailed characters, plenty of surprises along the way too. Happy Pico Day!

[Newgrounds game teaser]

lmao, was expecting something unexpected... something just like that. If it seems too good to be true it probably is! Though ya know, a game like this would be quite a hit, there's potential for mind changing here, this random mix of characters all brawling and platforming together, single and multiplayer action alike, a few scenarious and character sprites already mapped out... it'd be possible! Nice work.

[Pico's Cat Fight]

Hahahaha, lmao, that surprise ending... and then some. The fight totally spiralled out of control, and though you know how it's all going to go... things suddenly take a turn for the unexpected. Awesome idea, awesome bodywork, hilarious expressions, sound effects and everything. Gotta be the funniest Pico Day animation I've watched! Hope ya had a great one!

[Pico Day]

Hmm, so this is the aftermath of that great tragedy. What a horrible fate that potentially awaits our hero! The artistic backgrounds are a creative touch, the animation plays along slowly and wordlessly, but effectfully. It's easy to get into the pretty heavy settings of things, the silence a burden above the imagery, occasional sound effects enforcing them feelings. It does have a bit of a Neon Genesis Ending Vibe... not the happiest atmosphere that could've been mustered up. :P But hmm, twas an intriguing watch. Happy eh.. I mean: Pico Day. Nice work.

[Dianarchy]

lmao, so that's the true story behind thiis grand consåpiracy. XD Awesomely, crazily; randomly animated, with puppets so wobbly they could've been the real thing. Creative!

[Kakaryariko]

Well what a mess that turned out to be! Completely unexpected and totally pointlessly violent but masterfully manufactured all the same. Brutal entertainment.

[Cherish]

Aw man, it's one of those sad stories huh. For a moment I thought it'd be a refreshing bout of animat-style action (always great hearing a ParagonX9 track too!), and indeed there was a bit of that, but then there's that inevitable but still so pointlessly needless final sacrifice. And the irony of it all, that in the end all he's putting on her face are tears. Nice work though.

[Trey Spade Redux]

An ominous noire, classy classic style, with a few twists along the bridge towards greater riches and cat dishes, masterfully animated and voiced. I'm thinking a deep, serious style voice would've made the contrast between character and setting all the more comical though, but overall it's got it all. Great work!

[FrogMan and Pico SCENE 2]

That 'play' button on the title screen seems so incredibly small compared to all surrounding buttons! As for the animation though, I remember the bar scene from last year, but man I had no idea it'd been a year since then already... time flies! The mood's brighter in this one, the shooting scene was slick, the voicing good... not much happens overall though. They walk down the street (in this scene I was expecting some music though - or background noise - had to turn up the volume to see if I was missing something those first few seconds), shoot some stuff (lmao Darnell... wonder if Nene will make an appearance in the final part?) and plan to leave. It's not short, or boring but still somehow eventless in terms of plot progression. Looking forward to next year; Happy Pico Day!

artistunknown responds:

Oh dammit, I always mean to make the play button the biggest button... or at least of equal size. At least I no longer use a youtube button :p

I was really considering whether to upload this scene, 'cause like you said, nothing happens plot-wise really. The third scene is kinda like that too but serves as comic relief for all the serious stuff that's brought up through the film, and then the 4th and final scene is the big one where everything happens.

And yeah, I remember you saying you were looking forward to seeing the full thing this Pico Day, but that didn't happen :p I do have the first 3 scenes done, with a bunch of changes and improvements done to the first scene as well. I also have a few seconds done of the 4th scene, but it's like 8 minutes long so it still got a bit of work to do. Next Pico Day maybe ;3

About background music in the beginning, I was going to try to find some, or at least some city ambiance, but then I decided "Eh, the next part is mostly music so why bother" plus the Pico Day deadline was coming up fast so I didn't have time to find some good music to use.

And I hadn't really thought about a Nene cameo. While animating the part with Darnell shooting himself I thought "People are going to find this racist... huh ya know, it would make more sense to Have Nene killing herself since she's Asian... wait that's probably more racist" In the end I didnt' care 'cause I already had a bunch of it animated. I do have an idea for where she can appear now though ;3

Thanks for the review and Happy Pico Day!
