MinatoArisato's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Wilhelms Curse - Full Episode]

I think your best work is still the first Hero and the original reward. They're both great, but first Hero was the most emotionally invested for me. It's always interesting to see more of the same characters, and these two specifically, though Wilhelm didn't really have the personality I thought he did in the first movie. He seemed like a stern toughguy, and maybe the progression is just him growing up after making a goofy friend, but I never thought he'd grow and keep that big mustache. That's just my perception anyway.

I hope your kickstarter makes it, I don't have any money to donate atm. Hopefully people join in at the last minute since you're about halfway there.

[Mr. Sneaks VS CalArts]

The only calarts show I really liked was Star vs evil, but that honestly worked a lot harder on animation than the others.

[Pico's Awakening]

holy shit that dick animation
S+ for originality

[The Real Legend 5]

Wasn't expecting a semi serious plot or such an increase in visuals. I feel old. I was here when the first one came out all those years ago, and was so impressed by the level of quality you put out back then. It's nice to see your take on things again though, it still has a bit of that same feel even if it's been this long. Thanks for giving us another episode yeah? and I hope you're doing well.

[Mother's Waltz]

You had me worried that this was going to get real sad. I can definitely relate to not feeling good enough to the point I'm afraid to try just because I'll get embarrassed. But the mom in this story was pretty supportive and nice. I wish it was a little longer, but I look forward to seeing what else you come up with. It's very cute

[Great Destiny Man and the Forest Glade of DOOM]

I want to believe that he really does have a great destiny, and that the universe really is bending to his whim all along. Or maybe it's just luck, who knows. But when he was tripped out hitting those bushes, he seemed like he was maybe actually proficient at his craft. We will see I guess

[the.real.sonic.the.hedgehog.part.002.1080p.mp4]

I didn't think you'd manage to make something better than the first one, but here we are. That was surreal, unique, and full of atmosphere. Saving it so I can look back and remember it years from now.

[Smash Kingdom: King K.Rool's Iron Gut]

Felt very old NG, the likes of VGDC but better.

[Don't Eat the Fruit]

HOW HORRIFYING.
also pretty cute and well animated
But jesus christ AAAAAAA

[WEST TREE HERO FORCE PIlot 2: Adult B-Side]

Well I wasn't going to invest time in this, but it was one of those things that I needed to see through to the end as I saw more. Some of the writing is a little weak, and the animation and designs are all over the place, but ALSO GOOD part of the time too. More than anything I can see a lot of effort went into this and inspiration from a bunch of different anime, so I want to express the positives more than anything. I think the biggest laugh was when you used that screaming clip during the wrestling, you know the one ;)

For character designs the blue girl's nose kind of makes her look like a smurf, which kinda kills any of the sex appeal when shes bouncing her boobs around. Not sure if its intentional or just an initial design you stuck with. There were some lame bits in the writing, but enough positive to keep watching. Keep doing what you're doing and work on improving, but maybe also stick to the simple art style with some refinements going forward as most animators tend to work way too hard on quality and just stop putting out content cause it takes too long and is too hard.
