MinatoArisato's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Kirby Guardian Ep6: Reincarnation (Part 1)]

Still love these, this one was pretty cool too. I just wanna say now that you've been doing this awhile, I really appreciate the original takes and stories of your videos. Like it's one thing to make 'a kirby video' it might be moody, it might be funny, whatever, but what you're doing with the existing characters is very original, the story is always engaging and i'm eager to see what happens. This one was very different than the others, but it ended up being so in a good way too. Keep making stories told through visuals like this, it's been great.

Edit in case you see it: Animation is a ton of work, and yours is stellar, didn't even include that in my message, I'm glad you've got lots of ideas still, I'll definitely keep watching, keep being creative my guy.

KimiOmega responds:

Thank you so much, Minato
I'm glad you're enjoying the ride so far! I have a ton of ideas for this series, not sure if I could animate them all but I'm taking the challenge. I hope you like what I have in store!

[ENA - Temptation Stairway]

QUIT THE HITTING AND FINISH THE JOOOOB!
fucking lol.
I feel like I can't write a good comment for this animation, I'm thrilled by how delightfully weird everything is, the 90s internet adventure feel. I think ENA's dialogue is weird and suits the mood, but some of the other voices and dialogue were too normal, like the dolphin. None the less i'm happy you made another one in this style, it's really great to watch.

[Let Her Know (Or Something)]

Love these two fam, happy to see another cartoon with them. Please make more.

[Link in Mario Maker 2]

That was way better than it needed to be. Those transitions between different zeldas were great, and I loved the credit sequence. That puts it from 'neat animation' to 'timeless art' in my books.

[The Birds and The Bees]

I wonder how Edd would feel knowing people are still making videos for him all these years later? I hope there's some kind of afterlife or he still exists somewhere so he can see this stuff. If so he can at least know people still show up because of him.

[RESIDENT EVIL: MOMMY]

Linework, stills, and animation bits were great. Really high quality, though RE Milf edition BOW could have been slightly hotter. Also would have been worthwhile to get a female voice actor for her, because the Dr Girlfriend route kinda sucks the fun out of it. Male voices were great though.

[Zelda Hero High (Ep 3) - Hey Listen!]

These are short but they're growing on me. They're like little mini pieces of a whole episode, which is honestly fine since they're not a 25 minute investment. The voice acting is actually super good as well, Zee, Rock and Devi are all great.

[Sock Six]

After all these years, It's always a pleasure to watch your videos. I don't really know how to voice the highest compliment I can for this kind of work, but here's my best attempt. Right now, most creative content, artists, whatever, even people I've followed for years have often lost their spark, either life has got them down, or they've exhausted all the interesting things they had to say or do, my theory has always been that the world just got more boring as we took all the mystery out of it.

But you, you're still making unpleasant things like this years later. They're sometimes a little scary, they're always unsettling, sometimes hard to watch, but always unexpected in some way, I can never tell where the story is going to go, or what the visuals will be, whether there's some metaphor or special meaning behind everything, or its just some drug trip or dream you had and visualized for the world to see. Because of that it always draws me in. Despite how creepy things are, its also weirdly soothing to watch, maybe the music and sound design is responsible for that, who knows.

I'd also like to say I really appreciate how despite being a household name of sorts by now, you're mostly doing everything yourself and have all the same control. It's nice having a short list of credits.

You don't really know me, but I've been watching your stuff both here and via fat-pie since the early internet. As I get older life can be a bit depressing, because it feels like there's not much to look forward to, so knowing you're out there, still making the same creative art that I found in the beginning gives me hope that people can still excel even now. These were kinda some long nonsensical paragraphs, but just know I appreciate and love your work, and hope you'll continue.

[SMUTHERS]

oh god no

[Kirby Superstar: Gourmet Race - Uptempo Big Band Cover (The 8-Bit Big Band)]

I like your spritework and animation details, obviously a lot of work went into it, but in contrast with this video, which is filmed in a pretty interesting looking studio along with lots of camera panning and movement so we can specifically see the band, I found myself focused on the top video way more than what's going on, on the bottom. This is in no way trying to say your work is less interesting, it's just with how much the main video takes up the screen, and how its filmed, its hard to pay attention to both, and eyes tend to focus on the larger picture.
