Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Blue Eye]

This was an interesting animation, especially in style. Plenty of the elements were surprisingly realistic in contrast to the simple sketchy line-based style of the overall drawing, like washing the razor, the lasers cutting through metal, etc. The movements all look natural, the sceneries are dimensional and occasionally more complex than it would need to be. At first it reminded a bit of Figmentos, just an everyday moment, but after that it reaches unprecedented heights!

If this had been in color I'm sure it would have received the daily award. I don't mind the colornessless myself but still can't help imagining how it would look if it was all colored in, complete with shadows and lighting on all scenes. In a way though the linear drawing style adds to the clarity of the animation. There's no unnecessary clutter. It's all a stylish mix of different effects and surprisingly fluent animation, and it's no short either! Seems to be at least 5 minutes long (?). There's plenty of action, intensity, great music to go with it, and a good ending too. I was also expecting a Pokemon though, if a Pikachu had popped out of that box I wouldn't have been surprised. :D Nice work!

[Figmentos]

What a cute world, all the characters so kind and cheerful. The kid with a break-mouth, the mom with pikachu dots, the bright and sunny neighborhood. There's no speaking, nor plot, but there doesn't need to be. It makes me happy any way. Great work!

[Versus.023]

Liu King? I'm wondering if that's a real character or a name parody on the Lion, but either way, this was a fun watch. Plenty of creative fighting without the fight actually becoming brutal. The animatuion is smooth and the vocal soundwork is awesome. Keep it going!

[William, I'm Coming Home]

This was grander than I expected it to be. There's drama, there's comedy, and there's a desperate quest to return. The animation sometimes seems a bit idle compared to the music, but there's definately plenty of emotion in both of them.Some parts fit better than ohers, like the sun rising, the flashbacks when the chorus kicks in... other parts don't have any link to the music, but the music really builds up the atmosphere in this. Good choice of song too, it sounds like Ozzy (?) though I haven't heard the track before. Keep it going!

[DYC: OH, WIILLOUGHBY!]

Woo, the grand showdown is closing in fast! Feels like this episode is pretty much a bridge between two more decisive episode,s but there's definately progress. Marriage, trust, and soon betrayal! Turning into a real soap opera. :D Keep it going!

[TANK HOMBRES]

Haha, it would've been funny with just the introductory skit, but there's more to it than that! Guess I shouldn't spoil the guest appearance at the end, but it was definitely a tricky animation. Keep it going!

[Mentanks]

Haha, so many cock jokes in this, and a tank race? One of the best Tankmen parodies so far, by one of the best parody authors. The ending's pretty neat too, skipping out of the parody, and then out of the animation completely in two smooth transitions. Nice work!

[Waluigi's Mansion]

Haha, so that's all that happens? strange how a single impression like this can be so comical. Smooth animation, great voicing and the plot err... pun (?) was just genius. Keep it going!

[That's So Gay!]

The idea is just genius, but it feels like there's more potential for this. It ends at the right place, but it's gotta be missing something when I don't really get to laughing, sound effects maybe? Everybody looking at the guy who phrased the final words? I don't know, but it feels like the joke's wasted when nobody within the animation understands it. keep working on it!

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, I don't know, I kind of have a possible idea for it where I have some other scenes following this scene, so maybe it will work better like that. But maybe some of your ideas would be fun to experiment with too. I'll have to try a couple different things out and see what works. Glad you liked it though! :)
