MinatoArisato's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[TD-Manga-ka]

Hahaha, I can really appreciate your depictions of the early internet. Back when I was refreshing QC, Darkencomic, VGcats, crazy sunshine, Super squad(go read that one https://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Nintendo_Super_Squad/4985727/) and whatever the fuck that really well drawn gnome comic was. There was so much wild stuff back then with maybe only a few hundred viewers, and people were still happy to make it even if they weren't really getting paid for it. Plus I guess, no public shaming for whatever you chose to make.

I felt that same fall off of webcomics around the same time, not sure why, probably has to do with the internet becoming more of a google/twitter/facebook space and less scattered crazy domains that only you as an individual might find like some sort of lost relic. I think there still is a bit of a scene out there, I found this smackjeeves site the other day that apparently hosts a bunch of comics. Also drunkduck seems to still be around.

I always wanted to draw webcomics too, but I realized very early that I was both lazy and had no real artistic talent for visualizing things. I have old scribblers and sketchbooks full of not quite stick people with triangle heads and sayain armor because anime was fucking cool back then and I just wanted to be as good as they were. In the end, I'm old now, and I spent all of my time playing video games or working, so I never graduated beyond my childish art, and as such I'm stuck knowing I probably will never have the time or the drive to make things like you and others do. Still I have that desire to create things, and I think about it a lot, because I want people to understand those memories I have from the 90s and early 2000s, so I can show people just how fucking good things could be, or produce some kind of content that was reminiscent of those times. But eh, watching this is the next best thing, so thanks for providing amigo. don't die anytime soon, maybe we can live long enough to download our brains into a virtual reality someday.

Here's hoping!

[Frosty's New Hat]

I liked it, though making it political sort of ruined it. I've watched the old frosty VHS this was based about a million times in my childhood, so I can really appreciate how on model everything was.

[You Lovely Lovers]

Truly wretched and just as expected.
My favorite one of your animations is still the kid pranking his dad just from how much variety there was. But its not about what I want, you keep making whatever interests you because thats ultimately what makes more cool stuff I like. Creativity is #1 right now.

[Hands Up! - The Perfect Date]

Keep making these, because of you I discovered knower and an artist I like.

[LET ME HEAR THAT]

Seeing this gives me hope that there is real talent out there despite the boring world we live in now. A few of those animations made me want to get into animation again.

[Great Destiny Man and the Crusher of Balls]

Really great action scenes this time around, and more von bomb as promised! How long were you working on this one? it turned out really well.

[Rhythm Damacy - Katamari on the Mix]

I'm a big fan of both series, you really nailed it. Way to go including rhythm credits instead of generic ones and ending with the rhythm heaven finish screen. I loved the variety and adapting the katamari music to rhythm heaven's beats. I think the only complaint would be that there isn't more of it, and that the king's face looked a little off somehow, but nothing to make it anything sort of a 5 star submission. Nice job!

[RUFBN 2]

Keep going green boy, the universe is yours for the taking.

[Glenda, the classiest galaxy tourist - Episode 4]

I can see why people have been raving about this series. I love this level of surreal along with original ideas you just don't see anywhere else. You're doing a great job representing the classic NG content in the modern age. No generic meme content, just pure, glorious, creativity. Also I love balls pits so extra points.

[Audrey & Victor]

Very cute. Would like to see more with these characters
