Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Bill Burr "Southern Voice]

Short, obscene, but somehow still entertaining! Maybe just cause it's Bill Burr. Didn't know Bill Burr did a podcast either, definately going to check that out later on. Seems like making animations after podcasts is the new thing now, but I don't mind at all, visuals fit the audio perfectly. Hope there'll be more! And maybe with podcast bits that actually have a solid joke. ;)

SKillustration responds:

Thanks, Yeah I've got a few others planed that are a bit more fleshed out. Glad you enjoyed it.

[Tetragon Hall]

Impressive animation quality!! It's a shame this wasn't the daily first, and the weekly first... even on NG it feels rare with animation of this caliber. The plot's a bit abstract, a bit hard to relate to even if the sadness does show when it's all over... I'm more impressed with the work that went into animating it than what it's actually trying to tell, though I'm sure the symbolism here means more than it'd seem if you just take it for what it is? Magnificent work.

PhilStankus responds:

Thank you for such a nice review! This was the first time I ever got to work with an honest-to-goodness team, and they’re all really, really good people and friends. It wouldn’t have looked half this good or finished without them. We had a really good time, and we’re very proud of the result.



I’ve heard some interesting interpretations of the plot, as for myself it came to mean something very personal, but the story really came out of one picture- I had drawn all these different elements and then there was this little world on the page. That was the film. I really like that world, and I’d like to revisit it someday.

[Arc Infinitum 1]

It's one series popping up after the other! Though, this one does seem more like a movie than a series, even if it ends without any real finality. The bad guys aren't defeated. It's not even certain if the good guys win. It's unclear what'd happen next if nothing follows.

Animation looks great. The cityscape background in particular almost looks like a photo, but in dark locales it feels like not everything is affected equally by light. The faces almost glow on their own, even if the clothes seem to just absorb all light that hits them. Also, bit strange and chunky shadows playing on the character faces.

GITS type setting works pretty well, feels like it has the same somewhat saturated color scheme as well, similar soundtrack and a similar protagonist. I start imagining how awesome it'd be if there was every any similar serial animation made in tribute/homeage to Oni, could hold traits from both series but seems like it'd have a much quicker plot. Anyway, as always: good entertainment!

Kel-chan responds:

I have another part of this- I dunno if this will be a series instead of more of like an ova? meh semantics. I kind of like this better than KAGE actually but who knows.

[Encounters in The Keep e1]

Well that was... strange! What a contrast between what you hear and what's actually going on, which is... wait what is really going on here? Wonder if it's as random as it seems, or if there's some sense to it. Seems like one character'd be inanimate and the other unable of such emotional display... but the animation style's pretty interesting! Wonder how the plot will possibly progress even further in the next ep. Keep it going!

-cd-

TheKeep responds:

Thanks for the feedback! At the risk of being too vague, I'll say that it's not quite as random as it seems, the characters in this (and future) episodes are odd and seemingly out of place but they have their reasons for being in The Keep! More will unfold in the next four episodes!

[Peeping]

Haha, nice one. Can't think of anything else to say here... simple joke, but I've been entertained! Keep it going!

Chauder responds:

Thanks~!

[Sonic Boom KnucklesGlitch]

Hmm one glitch that makes the game suck, or just the one glitch the pun's based upon? Always good finding out about what games not to play. :P Keep it going!

-cd-

Cheetoh responds:

No lol the glitch isn't what ruins the game for me, it's the game that ruins the game for me lmao

[VS: The Breaking Dead]

After that catchy chip-tune accompanied pixel intro I thought it'd be a videogame parody animation, but turns into somewhat of a slow rant instead. Idea's good, but I can't say I'm captivated by the discussion, feels like it moves a bit too slow, with plenty of satire but not so much comical effect. Keep it going though!

-cd-

JellowStudios responds:

Thanks for the input!

[The School Toilets]

lol, whole grain seems like a real dangerous thing! And schools nowadays... just aren't how they used to be! Like, five years ago hmm... pretty entertaining sketch though! I don't really relate to the situation, but it feels easy to live into it anyway. Animation's all clean and fitting. Nice work!

-cd-

Ehronaut responds:

Thanks for the comment and criticism :D

[Captain Toad]

Would probably have felt more sympathetic towards the main character had the enemies acted more like enemies, not like needless casulaties, minding their own business and peacefuly co-existing until the vicious Toad pops up in the picture! It's an impressive show of slick FBF animation though. ! I like the diamond bite - Chuck Norris level of toughness detail, and that girl appears outta nowhere (wonder who does the voice acting hmm). Was a fun watch overall!

k7vin responds:

Thanks for your review! The voice acting for toadette was all done by Cawatoons. At this point, I don't make an animation unless she has a voice in it. She's very easy to work with and crazy talented.

[noir animation - beneath]

Seems like this could be a prelude for something! At first the animation style/mood reminded me a bit of Afro Ninja. It moved more to noir as it went along, but the voice felt out of place - maybe too bold and badass for the flashbacks I'm used to in criminal drama. I like the gritty style and atmosphere, it tells a good story, but in the end... it's just started! What happens next?

Joenu responds:

Maybe it is a prelude. I've planned to make several animations taking place in this "world" - but with different protagonists.
