MinatoArisato's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[PUNCH PUNCH FOREVER!]

Damn you went all out.
How long were you working on this? There were so many unique frames and background objects. I know it's styled after an old anime, but it really doesn't feel like a modern imitation either, probably because there isn't really any art style out there like yours. That 8 minutes flew by. Any plans to make more or is this more or less a complete 1 off thing?
Love your work as always Speedo

[Neo Junk City - Neon Nights]

Extremely spicy trailer and beautiful pixel art. Since it's all concept the real game might not turn out that good, but I'd love to see it without any corners cut from that trailer. Like have it look exactly like those sequences with no compromise. I wouldn't even care if it was a short game, it would be worth it. Remember Ghost Trick? same idea. Good quality stylized work transcends time. I really hope you get funded and can make it a reality, I'm dirt poor atm or else I would donate as well.

Every shot in there is in-game!

[Mega vs Musk]

I don't understand all the Elon hate, he seems like a chill guy, but every media outlet wants his head on a pike. The worst I've seen him do is make some inflammatory remarks then a bunch of people acting like he's super hitler because he's in position of power because money. It makes me wonder if I was rich or famous if everyone would suddenly spread lies about me.

CORRECT CHOICE DAISY.

[Head Empty, Only Pikmin]

I need individual gifs to share of the Bulborbs and The forest dance scene with the purple pikmin. Please I beg of you.
Also welcome back, your visual style is beautiful

[Syndra is worth it]

Callback to the Zed x Syndra comic missed opportunity with the force of will grab though

[With My Mind's Madness]

Every so often this animation pops into my head. Left a huge impression on me back in the day when it came out due to the song and imagery. I don't care if its simple animation by today's standards, this shit was made with pure passion and I still love it.

[Kirby Guardian Ep8: Reincarnation (Part3)]

Damn, it's been awhile since I've seen one of these.
First off, I'm glad you're still around and animating! Your work is always incredibly good, and yet it seems like you did this all solo despite it probably being your longest one ever, with some of the best animation and backgrounds that normally take a full crew ages to make. I feel like even if you told me you made something like this just to get paid, I wouldn't believe you, because your passion is clear in your visuals and animation.

Those backgrounds man, they were so nice. The house and rooms all planned out, the little 3 star doorway, the kitchen and little details. It's honestly really awesome, and must have been a ton of work. The ending didn't feel rushed at all, we just got scene after scene of random slice of life stuff with no predictable outcome that made it fun to watch all the way through. I also liked how you drew king triple D with the fluffy ruffle coat, and him having a bunch of tiny waddle dees. Also his letter having a bunch of crossed out spelling errors, very in character for him.

You're going to get a lot of compliments that'll just repeat anything I can say here, but I'm happy you set out to make something that was as much for you as it was for others, you've clearly been driven, and its nice to see passion in people's art and animation. Hope you have a good day famalam.

KimiOmega responds:

I honestly don't know what to say, thank you so much for taking the type to write this comment. I never expected this episode to make people happy like this. I'm glad you enjoyed this episode, it took a long time but I had fun making it while learning Blender!
And yesh, those backgrounds were the bane of my existence but I'm digging how they turned out!

[PIG]

I loved the simple style combined with smooth animation, it ended up really good. I really liked the gag with the washing machine. Only bad part of the movie (but still hilarious) is the mosquito party room being really hard on the eyes.

[Froggy Frenzy]

That was fuckin' cute. The animation and lines was very rough at times, but the animation itself was great. I love the froggy girl's cute design. I think my favorite sequence was when she roars and makes that face, and then Volcano slide followed by zigzag. Gotta be hot on her feet doing that. Great job to everyone who worked on this, especially who ever gave that "I'm gonna wreck your shit" made me smile
