Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Easter Island]

Seems like this is a day for mythical and mysterious animations. First I watch the Explorer, and now this. The animation is great, fluent and surprisingly detailed at the same time, and the sounds/music really help build up the atmosphere as well. It's a spooky piece; the part where their eyes lights up really gave me goosebumps. And from there on it just grows. I guess the link to religion adds to the suspense, thought I'd have been just as awed by it without, and maybe even more mystified without a clearly religious link. Still, amazing animation! Looking forward to more like this!

[NG Commercial 2013]

I'd be surprised if this entry doesn't win the competition. Fluent animation, great voice acting, and a nice showcase of NG features at the end. It's both random and genius. The screenshots at the end could've flashed by faster though. For the submission page, I'd have thought you'd go through the submission pages for all content forms, since all content forms are mentioned. Just a note. Overall it was fun to watch, and maybe/hopefully it'll rake in a ton of new users from other social platforms too. Great job!

Thank you! I appreciate the detailed review :)

[-The Explorer-]

Combined with the music, this animation was magnificent. In a way, it would've been suitable enough to end the animation right after the temple disappeared. The mystery peaked right there, an ancient civilization disappearing, a link to the read world, lost technology, something inspiriting and relatable. After that it's more fiction than myth, but still good. The animation is fluent and professional, and the music is the greatest part. Nice work!

[Psycat (english sub)]

Awesome. Just awesome. Do I really need to say more? Well ok, that combination of cute cats (even the one with three eyes is considerably cute) and destruction and inhumane power is just genius. The meowing liven up the piece to preceding heights, and the fat that 'english sub' is included in the title, as if anyone would actually be able to understand these cats anyway, is a heavy dose of subtle comedy. Love the fluent animation, the action, the randomness and the destructive forces that come into play. It's both cute and intense. Great work!

Thank you for your great review!

[DBZ - Proctology Academy]

Oh man, this is just... genius! :D I'm not expecting a sequel, but I wouldn't mind one anyway. There are so many more characters that could be thrown into the mix to be parodied, especially that pervy old turtle master I-forget-his-name. I'm surprised he didn't make an appearance already, but maybe that would just be too cliche. The voice acting, especially the eternal grunts, really add a lot of DBZ nostalgia, and the flying somersault or whatever that is = awesome. This has got to be one of the best April submissions this year. Nice work!

thanks!

[The Men From Mars]

I don't particularly like male nipples, but it's good there were some other genders thrown in the mix. the music video does entertain though, all the way, and the animations/loops are incredibly fluent. There's plenty of comedy mixed in that isn't directly related to the song, of which the babies are probably my favorite example. The music itself isn't an immediate hit, but I like the idea. Nice work on backgrounds, flashy patterns, the contrast bween Mars and Earth. It's a colorful, imaginative and creative realm of music and motion. Nice work!

[Deadly Space Action #14]

A strange space adventure continues, and ends when it really starts to get exiting. Nice mixture of strange creatures and personalities, humanoids, aliens (?), girls with strange fetishes, a lot of interesting people are represented. :P Smooth animation, great voice acting and a plot that's now starting to intrigue. Keep it going!

[Friend Ship Toons - Colon]

Haha, well that was... twisted. :D Short and entertaining, and I'm always up for a word pun as well. The animation is smooth, the voice acting realistic, and the randomness is all there. Keep it going!

[Mustard Hat]

Oh well, that was crazy! :D Love the darkening effect at the start, really atmospheric combined with the sound effect. Was that done with a flashlight? Overall it's quick and crazy, and smooth claymation. Random and entertaining. Keep it going!

[TH'Crusader Adventures]

The sttle of music makes me think of Samurai Champloo, and there are certainly some similar styles in the animation as well, though there's definately no samurai. At first I thought the animation was realistic and fresh but for most part of the animation, there really isn't much animation, mostly still images. They're still all detailed though, and towards the end the animation gains new motion. I like the gritty style, sketchy and raw, even though some elements are a bit unpolished. Nice work!

Thanks for the critique. 5 months of juggling responsibilitieis and skills. I'm still developing my understanding of upload efficiency with this Flash.

I seen Samaurai Champloo...you are absolutely right in that it has it's own intention for character. Something in it for anybody, any walk of life, any sexual orientation (note: I have videos I edited that have a similar editing style...I have had this style before knowing about anybody else doing this, even Samarai Champloo'). Though both of us have a Wally Wood influence in some of the grafflic rendering, I will admit that. I prefer coitus hentai on mine.
