MinatoArisato's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

[Sonic Meets Friday Night Funkin' ~ Rap Battle Showdown]

Fuck yeah, Eggman telling it like it is.
SHUT THE FUCK UP I'M TALKING
Channeling all the rage of tourettes guy.

[Mr. Ingredient]

The character designs were very interesting, like ugly caricatures but in a good way. The background music was nice, but I didn't really like narrator audio. It sounded like he was about to cry the whole time, which I assume is the intention, but the tone and delivery on certain words and phrases and the accent didn't seem very consistent. Given that's a huge part in telling this story I felt it took away from it a bit, but overall it's still a very interesting animation.

[Hartrup and Oatly - Secret Friend]

Man that was really weird and wretched, but stellar animation, great atmosphere and music and sound. Like the creepy violin split second when the inspector appears outside. Speaking of which, that voice, that look, the dopey looking eyes and nose together with that fucking voice, really carried the animation for me. Very good.

[Sugar Please!]

Very well animated, the plot jokes for each of the neighbours felt a bit weak, but it was still really great to look at. I kinda thought the Lion would be a bait and switch after being so imposing, but I suppose that's also predictable at this point. Anyway, keep up the good work!

[My Tribute to Flash, Showcasing my most Embarrassing work]

I know you've said before you don't like your earlier work, but doesn't some of this stuff, the time it was from hold some good memories for you? I loved browsing geocities sites and finding anime animations and stuff like yours. I even read Megatokyo for a bit back in the day, I read tons of webcomics, QC, Darken, Geist Panik, Crazy Sunshine, Happletea, Yeah a bunch of them were cringe, all the edgy DA art I liked was cringe, but somewhere in there, I still like that stuff, but can't really express it openly. Anyway, the point is, you clearly cared about this stuff a little bit since you held onto it, and I'm happy you did since there's lots I never saw before. We should hold on to as many memories as we can.

NCH responds:

yeah.. I kinda held on to almost all my flash animations I've done since the start. and thought its kinda a appropriate day to show some tribute to the death of flash by showing how I started off =)
