Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Reward]

I can't even begin to describe the degree of awesomness in this animation. It's not just the quality of animation,which is professional by all levels (as well as music and voicing) but the intensity and at the same time subtility of the plot. It's more than just a tale of friendship and adventure, it's a story of legacy, of mystery, and of life in many ways. Like those creatures they're unknowingly chopping the legs off, or using bird bait to fly with an eagle, or looking in the mirror to see their true selves. This movie is just full of symbolism and awesomeness. I liked all aspects of it, and the handshake at the end that really shakes the world is so damn POWERFUL. Just amazing. I have contributed, and I'll be looking forward to what comes of this, though I can't imagine the series actually being better than this short. It's a masterpiece on all levels. Oh, and then there's the fact that not a single thing is actually said in the whole film. You don't need language to understand it. Great work!

[Adrellia Village #43: SE]

Well this was a mixture of random and entertaining. I really should start watching series from the first episode onward, but since this made it to the top five (and daily feature to top it off! congrats!) I'm just jumping straight into the action. Though the introductory scene seems to make as little sense as possible to a newcomer in the Adrellia Village world, the latter part of the animation follows a more logic chain of events. Characters are introduced before they appear, which is good for people who haven't seen previous episodes, and towards the end it seems like something big is about to get started. I'll keep an eye out for the next one.

The animation is nice and simple, voice acting good, and the surplus of sound effects and mostly ambient music really contribute to the atmosphere. It feels like most of them were heaped at the start of the animation though, and towards the end there's not much background static. Anyway, keep it going! Looking forward to the next one.

Thank you for your review! Actually you only need to see episode 42 to understand this - this episode is just a "bridge" episode between episodes 42 and 44. Thanks again for the great review!

[Bogaturs.02]

Hah, as it turns out there aren't just three Russian Bogaturs... but either way, this was an awesome animation! I can imagine it would be even more so if you spent some time coloring it, but even as it is it's increidbly fluent.. not to mention creative. I like the way even the speech is done without any real language, it feels like this is easy for anyone to understand, no matter what ethnicity or lingual experience. Great work!

[Every MC Let's Play Ever!]

A parody on the heart of YouTube. :) Though I can't relate to the gameplay itself, the gaming video puns are easy to relate to. Good animation, good idea, and good voice acting even though it's often surprisingly calm considering the characters apparent desperation. Nice work!

Thanks, I appreciate the honest feedback! I'm still trying to improve on voice acting.

[Waterlollies]

This is just as amazing every time I watch it. The detail in the scenery, and the fluency of the animation, it's all just incredible. There's no need for speech either in this fictious and creative fantasy world, everything is told vividly with the help of various variedly cute and monstrous creatures with both simple and intriguing personalities. There's fun, there's drama, there's harmony, there's motion, and the entire time it's candy for the eyes. Great work!

["Mark Loses It"]

Haha, he really did lose it! :D What a genius idea, and combined with the octopussish waving of his arms it's just awesome to watch. Great voice acting and music and motion. Keep it going!

Thanks!

[Agumon versus Veemon]

Hah, so weird hearing those voices without clocks. At least therer's a nice ending track and twist. :) Happy April Fools!

[Madness Contemplation Pt2]

Another amazing set of Madness animation. Great effects, great graphics, sounds, varied forms of violent carnage. It's all great! Pure madness. Would be awesome with another collaboration like this. Great work!

[The Dump]

I was expecting something unexpected... but this I did not expect! Doesn't seem like there's a real point to the animation, no moral or message, nor even any real entertainment value. Props for the surprise, but apart from that, it would be more entertain with some kind of pun or plot, or a twist at the end instead of just... nothing. Keep it going!
