MinatoArisato's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[math problems guy]

Hahaha, this is a lot better than the fish one for sure. Are these all old works or are you just pumping these out that fast? I'm enjoying most of what you've made

wavetro responds:

Yeah, I release these videos as soon as I finish them! It has definitely taken a toll on me though, so I've started slowing down a bit to prevent any more destruction to my health lol

["JOKER" but it's Goofy and Winnie]

That's some incredible production value and talent. I love that you were able to put all of these custom models together. Stop frame animation is a difficult but amazing art, and I really envy people like you who are able to make it happen. It's a talent that takes a lot of hard work and the effort shows.

[Maddison - FIRE]

I liked it, I like all animated music videos on NG cause I find it's some of the best and most creative content even when its commission for a band or something. I do have a couple of criticisms though I guess, First let's focus on positives though. I love childhood fears, I was scared of the dark and holding a flashlight as a young child a lot, watching creepy shit tap on my windows or crawl around my room at night. There's nothing quite like the loneliness or absolute helplessness you feel living in the middle of nowhere while everyone else is asleep and it feels like they may never wake up as the shadows creep in. That's what I was getting from the early parts of this movie.

So the first thing that looked a little janky, is that the little girl is an infant but moves almost like an adult. From the point she first gets out of the crib she's a bit too mobile. Baby would probably move a different way or struggle more. If she was a bit older in proportions I think it would have looked a lot better. It's pretty weird looking at the start of the hallway scene.

Last thing is when she bursts out of the trash pile, I expected she had found some bright item or something, seemed like that's where it was going, but instead she just goes super sayain and starts throwing fireballs. I mean sure, that's fine in concept, just seemed a little off for story direction. Could have had some fire themes building throughout the video leading up to it to make the climax be a lot cooler.

Anyway, hope you don't take this as insulting or anything, animation takes a ton of hard work and I'm impressed you put this together, I just wanted to offer my two cents in case it helps you make something even better in the future, keep up the great work.

[The Great Reptar Adventure]

Lot of subtext in that show that I didn't pick up on as a child.

[Oney Plays Animated: Spreader-Man]

Animation's good, it's hard to like all these animated lets plays though, knowing its old NG artists who quit making animations to make money playing video games instead.

[DOOM Eternal BattleSchmoes]

Fuck, I haven't played versus but I get the idea. Even without context this is beautiful, love the rotoscoped dog animation.

[Little Runmo]

Ayyy Gooseworx, should've posted here from the start, welcome. I loved this the first time, now I can keep it in my favorites on a site I actually care about. Keep doing the cool shit you're doing, music and otherwise. Glad to see your talent and quality flourish.

[HANDS UP! - Elevator]

I like how you posted this pretty much immediately after I asked about it lol. This one isn't quite as rewatchable as the others and it started a little slow at first, but the later visuals made up for it with all the screens, and the story made sense by the end. I dunno if you intend to make some kinda episodic show, but I think just otherworldly music videos of sorts that tell a story are really great to watch and they can evolve or shift scenarios as many times as you want. I like the characters so I'll keep watching regardless, whatever you do, keep up the good work.

[Nightman (Episode 2)]

Man, this ugly gritty art is really interesting to watch. Don't be discouraged if not everything you make is met with popular demand, This is true art my friend. Keep up the good work

D-Liu responds:

I don't know if it's art, I still think I got a long ways to go... But thank you so much for appreciating the stuff I'm making!

[Red Snow]

Hahaha what the fuck, the sound design was god tier. Felt like 1995

D-Liu responds:

Hahaha thanks! I used a toy rifle.
