MinatoArisato's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Down the Dungeon]

Great visuals and animations. Sound could have been a bit better, but this is a thesis project so it was probably classmates doing the voices no? I noticed the ending was a bit abrupt, so I'm guessing you either ran out of time or decided to end it quickly so as not to have to work on it forever. Overall though, quite liked it.

[Plancy's World 4]

Hey not bad, Art could use some work, but you made the little girl's hair really expressive so points for that. Plus you had a cohesive plot.

[The Average Melee Player]

Lots of memes, animation was alright, though the plot and punchline felt a bit empty.

[Solid Snake: ULTIMATE Moveset?! - Got A Minute?]

While this is alright as an informative piece, I don't think it really fits on Newgrounds.

SchmidtTimes responds:

I appreciate your feedback, friend! I've always been on the fence whenever I upload here because I'm not a true animator, but I've been building up a little niche of viewers and there's a few folks who like my posts, so I've been keeping it up! I try to focus on the videos with the most intensive editing vs. straight gameplay, so not everything I produce finds its way to Newgrounds! Haha, it's a delicate balance and I'm trying my best not to disrespect the community here!

[Gosh! What a Sight!]

I liked it, I really enjoy the 1930s look resurgence lately, though it's not without some problems. These cartoons always work off of their living visual gags, and the balloon segment was probably the best of it. I liked how the tree was trying desperately to get them to fuck off, though the tree still had a sinister expression, you'd think maybe he'd look scared or worried if he didn't just want to kill them.

I noticed a bit of inconsistency between some of the hand drawn segments, like when she's flying through the walls and shattered pieces fly off. When you combine great quality visuals with worse ones its a bit jarring. The final segment hardly involved the main character and mostly went into a gore fest on the same frame. I enjoyed the violence but I felt the scene went on too long and should have involved the main character more. The unmasking bit with human features didnt come off as creepy as it could have, maybe because there was too much face visible between the 3 pieces, it just looked like a sideways video at that point. Maybe needed some extra filters or different cuts, I'm not really an expert, but I've seen David firth and Cyriak work some magic.

Overall though, I'm sure you worked super hard on this, so don't take any of this criticism in a negative way, It was a good quality cartoon, just has potential for improvements in my opinion.

[Computers]

Reminds me of grade 4 when one of my classmates decided to load up 'sex.com' which at the time to a poor quality gif of a black dick going into someone. I was confused and thought "why does this lead to someone taking a dump?"

[RACISTWATCH, Overwatch Fail!]

lost it at Symmetra. Also during the intro I thought that was it, "Well shit, that wasn't very racist, oh wait here we go" Your animations are high quality as always, just the right mix of eye candy for all kinds of people.

[Skitzo Vs Cuphead]

Animation is good, though it would be nice to have shown some bullet feedback like a minor flicker similar to the cuphead bosses. 3rd phase seemed like a more simplified offshoot of the Devil's, but the drooling mouth frames were especially good and creepy there, probably the best part for me. Also did he attack with pubic hair in phase 2?

Comick responds:

Glad you liked the animation and honestly yeah I forgot they flicker when hit...opps! Also yes those were his pubes attacking. You kinda need to watch Skitzo's cartoons to get that joke, but basically in his animated shorts, Skitzo has sentient living pubes in his pants that grab stuff and eat small animals that get too close! hahahahaha

[WHAT IS LIFE???]

Interesting watch, makes me wish I had 5000 years left in me so that I could find the answers.

OblitusCS responds:

Hahaha yeah, exactly my thought. Who knows, maybe in 50 years eternal life is a real thing, they are already working on it, we just have to wait and see. Thanks for the comment brother!

[Epic Fight]

POCKET SAND!
