Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ginja Ninja | Ep#1]

Haha, random! :D Not much really happens, most of the animation is spent on waiting time (waiting for the ice cream, waiting after the ice cream van blows up, just a little waiting while the significance of the dinosaurs surprising speech echoes within our heroes head) but it's still awesomely drawn; surprising. Now a plethora of questions are flying through my mind, is this a real first episode, will there really be more? Is that dude really a Ninja with such casual clothing? What's up with that little girl? Before the van blows up, was anything really happening by the van or was she just standing there holding a coin as the seconds ticked by? Keep it going!

[Cage]

This makes me think of the Heavy Metal movies somehow, and that martial artist... Chuck? Refreshingly random professional animation, keep it going!

[Piltover gets Jinxed!]

One 'save as' corrupted both original and back up?! How did that happen? The animation turned out pretty slick anyway, only time the FBF seemed to stagger a bit was when she was creeping on the desk, though I wouldn't have thought more about it if I hadn't read the description. This Jinx character is a mystery to me so thus also plot, but the random factor makes it all the more entertaining somehow. Keep it going!

RetroSleep responds:

I was creating the back up so when it crashed technicly the original file was open while it was writting to the back up file so it destroyed them both :x

Thanks for the encouragement I'll keep it up!

[The Legend of Nylocke]

Awesome voice acting, awesome animation, a rather plotless encounter with dubious moral... but plenty of strong personalities. I like the DBZ-style of that demon, the continuous flow of words and fights, the always-present tension and the main characters constant optimism. Keep it going!

[Beyond The Glass]

I was thinking the intro sequence was taking way too long (over a third of the animation length), but as it turns out... the intro was the animation! It looked great, but I'm kinda disappointed that's all it turned out to be, after that it's just gameplay footage. Love the music, very effectual and atmospheric... and I guess this is an effectual promo too, but it feels a bit incomplete. Keep it going!

[Book Soap]

Silly indeed! I'm wondering if there's some form of symbolism in this or if it's all as random as it seems, a loaf amongst the books, an... intelectual soap opera? :L Funky tune!

[Mario's Theft]

lmao, totally unexpected ending... the rampat fireballing was awesome too. Love how creepy Mario seems in these animations, keep up the good work!

[Gym Class Sucks(Unless Yo]

Haha, another entertaining rant! Gotta love that hulk smash at the end, and the daydreaming... though I can't relate much to being picked last, you see in my days of gym class I used to... just skip gym class. :P Great to hear a NG shout out at the end, I'm wondering if that's custom for this site? Keep up the good work!

itsalexclark responds:

of course it's custom!! there aren't any other new grounds websites :) - and the hulk smash was my favorite part too.

[Sprite A Day Again: 1]

So is this series going to be going every day, all month? I can't recall prior episodes, but I like the idea! The plotted puns didn't make much sense to me, but it was a randomly entertaining watch. Congrats on daily feature!

[Mushroom Soup]

Awesome story, awesome animation. Feels like Janine Carbone could get some more credit than a mention in the comments for all her work though, like being listed as co-author and getting split revenue? Least that's the impression I get reading this, maybe you've worked it out. As for the work itself, the illustration is swift and atmospheric. The running motion takes me back to old Brackenwood cartoons, and in a way the fable itself seems like it was inspired by those worlds... or maybe all fables take place in worlds like this.

The voice acting is great, just the one character and the crow, but effectual voices/sounds for both of them (and I like how the crow is heard through only one speaker). I like the fact that the 'main' character doesn't say anything either, it makes it easier to live into the story and relate to what's going on, and the introductory story closing and coming back at the end, making it more about moral but rather about helping each other... great all the way. Looking forward to more like this!

This video isn't going to make a cent as far as revenue. It simply won't get the views for make any money. And she's not a member of Newgrounds either so there's no way to credit her, proper on here.

BUT I will pass the praises onto her just the same. Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
