Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Invincible Man Ep. 1]

It ends a bit suddenly there... was thinking we'd at least get a peek of the new hero before the credits start to roll, but that final chapter message took some time to fade aaand then it was over... it has potential, but felt a bit cut-off! Hope it picks up well in the second one!

In terms of voice acting and animation it's good, though characters are all pretty static, hope there'll be some more movement later on too. Also bit inconsistent eye style. On TV they had a totally different style than in the second scene, I was just thinking it was a pretty unique approach, bit like LegendaryFrog, but then came the normal ones... either way, looking forward to what comes next! So far so good!

NorthStream responds:

Thanks for taking the time to watch and review. I have a very special introduction for my hero which is why I didn’t want to have him in this episode. The opening line for the first episode with the hero will be “today is the day the Invincible Man died.” His introduction is actually his dead scene

[Euline Lipsynch Test]

Beautiful song, and a smooth like animatiac to go with it! Nice work.

cecameron responds:

Many thanks :D

[Wimp Witch Test Animation]

Looks like a promising comic! :) Really smooth animation too, water as fluent as any of the rest of it, and the main character expressive in an easy way. Good fun!

Why thank ya!

[Keith Reynolds can't make it tonight]

Do wonder what'll happen to Keith Reynolds after that final scene! Might be the start of a long fall... was expecting the janitor to maybe throw a bucket of trash out the window, like a twist on karma after the earlier cup of coffee thrown out ditto... but I'm glad it ends with ambiguity. Any which way you imagine it... or with a sequel?

Love how all is presented, with classy narrative, elevator music, simplicity and wit... and stick figures with such complex characters and office details! The style's both simple and amazing, and just the elevator movement within a building feels so... polished. Come to think of it that earlier Water short seemed a lot like a small; confined space too, like an elevator... and for a moment here I was thinking that would be where all the action took place. Which it did, but I imagined it would stay there. Possible stuck between two floors.

It turned out for the better though, in all the worse ways possible! Amazing work.

Thanks a lot for the nice review :)

[Vessel]

Until I read the description I didn't really follow... it was morbid and eerie, but I wondered if the different 'chapters' were related or separate, if they told tales from the same persons life, or different ones... if it was about a meeting or a parting, about the trauma caused by the dog, a bad dream, something else... the description explains a lot, yet after imagining so many other things I feel like a 'mysterious predator and lonely witch' feels a too fictional route. Like it could have had more depth. Thought I was onto something big, but in the end it was more based on the visuals than I expected...

Voice acting might have been good indeed, to push the story, though on the other hand I feel the silent way really builds the mood. The atmosphere here is pretty special. Brooding. Gloomy. Lonely. Voices might break that impression... and I did like the visuals! Nicely done overall, all that's really missing is the red thread, for better or not.

sadtape responds:

I'm really happy read this. The description I gave is more simplistic and literal than I'd like, but I thought I might give at least a few details just to get people going on the plot if needed. There were all sorts of themes of trauma, loneliness, and guilt I wanted to touch on, though I'm still learning as a storyteller. I really appreciate your feedback.

[The Wish - Awakening]

Starts with a promising premise! Wonder if this will be the big story, or if it's a sort of collective tale of all the different mythological beasts and creatures within the game? Interesting idea! I've barely scratched the surface of MAGIC so far, but do have a deck waiting for scratches... smooth animation, and pretty effectual narration too.

Wondermeow responds:

Kind regards,

[escape]

Hmm so many ways you could interpret this... like just a random bout of creativity, or like a new take on the world, or like a message that all will succumb to age eventually, that we're trying to hard, that we should go back to our roots and enjoy the world rather than exploit and raise scrapers that touch the sky yet... don't really reach far enough out of this world for us to escape, anyway. In the end it all goes full cycle. I enjoyed the animation, and music... gets you in a good mood! :)

NigelNg responds:

Glad you got something from it!

[Fernando and the Disk of Chaos]

Another masterful arc in this epic story! :D That soundtrack too, so smooth and mysterious... great work as always.

Sexual-Lobster responds:

thanks!

[FTCR Animated: Fruits & Proteins Breh.]

That one guy really laughs at the most inopportune moments. XD It was fun though! Not so much entertaining audio as the animation that enforces it. Feels like the jokes are tied to the channel a bit, where you'd appreciate them more when you know the people, but I love the style! Beady eyes and stick-figure arms... feels arcade-like and unique at the same time. Nice work.

Also nice to see some sketches like this from something outside of the usual Oney Plays or Game Grumps, they be taking over!

SpiderKnife responds:

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your honest opinion on this Cyberdevil!

It was definitely something I was conscious of whilst making this that the context & humour might get lost in the mix for those you don't know the people behind them, absolutely! But thank you so much for your kind words and that you enjoyed the presentation!

It's also very nice to read that it was something different for you from the Oney & GG content. Though obvious that GG Animated had an influence and appeal for me to create something like this on one of my favourite Let's Players, I appreciate that you highlighted this and you liked it.

Again, thank you!

[An Egg's Purpose]

Such a tragic tale, of an egg who was destined for more but just... lost his footing in life! Gets me wondering what the average lifespan of an egg may be hmm, it's a tough world... doesn't eggsactly look designed for this particular species. That breakfast too. XD
