MinatoArisato's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Toad Hole]

Oh man, that was well animated, liked everything about it except the saggy eye rockets, but that's just a personal thing.

[Darkstalkers (U.S. Cartoon Re-animated) - Cliff Shenanigans]

I don't know how I missed this, but the speed at which she yeets that child made me lose my shit lmao

[The Darly Boxman Show]

Love you Gooseworx.

[Kirby has a secret]

I think it would have been better with less voice acting, or maybe just kirby gibberish sounds with subtitles over it. Came off a little forced even if the animation was good.

[Lonely Star]

Man that's so cool that you put all this together. I had no idea you could do battle animations like that! Also its very sweet of you featuring all those Chilean artists, I had no idea TwistedGrim and Bard were from your country, will have to check out some of the others you featured. I know most people just watch you for the lewds, but I can tell you really cared when you made this, Great job Diives.

[TD-Critiques]

I'm always nice about reviews and critiques, If I'm telling someone why I think something they made could be better, it's because I actually care enough to post about it in the first place. Usually I worry that people will get pissed off, because who knows where their mind is after they put a bunch of work into something, so it's usually riddled with lots compliments alongside the bad stuff.

But the other thing too, is that I think a lot of art and media is subjective, like you pick your favorite video game or movie, and and guaranteed there are at least 1000 people ready to hate or talk shit about it because it is their firm belief that it sucks even if you love it, but then again maybe those people don't care about improving the media or anything like that. They're not complaining because they want the creators to get better, but because they want their opinions to be seen.

I find it hard to draw a line between improvement versus quality, because you can take something like Psychonauts, Hellsing, or Powerpuff girls, and you have wild proportions that could never exist in real life, but still manage to look really cool. Can it look better? probably, but I couldn't tell you what they should do to improve on a stylized look. I'm curious how you feel about that kind of stuff, is there a hard limit where it goes like "Alright well the artist is past the point of sucking balls, so they probably can correct their own mistakes now" or should we still take the piss out of Genndy Tartakovsky each time he makes a new show?

[SCOUT IS ANNOYING]

honestly had to check if you got the actual scout voice actor after listening to that.

[Frosting With No Cake]

I came back to this later because a lot of your work is really bizarre and fun to rewatch, but this time I've been noticing all the little extra details, and there's so much going on in this one scene, You mentioned 'eye candy' and you weren't kidding.

I wanted ask, since I see no other way this all comes together besides spontaneously, did you just start drawing little animation pieces and zoning out? or do you plan a bunch of stuff from the beginning? It makes me think more so of someone who's bored during a school paper and making a bunch of doodles, except all those doodles are in the same space and overlapping with each other thanks to animation. Whatever the process, I think your work really stands out creatively and keeps me coming back.

Andyl4nd responds:

Hey, thank you for the kind words!! Each animation I make starts off with a concept that helps me build the motivation to work on it, but some ideas distort so much throughout the development process that it eventually falls into that category of "zoning out and doodling". This one is definitely one of them, I was mostly occupying myself with something to draw while I streamed on twitch haha. Hope that somewhat satisfies your question!

[Are Ya Winning, Son? except it's a HORROR GAME.]

Holy shit, that was incredible.
Good plot, good atmosphere, good animation, great voice acting. Great ending.
