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!

[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 =)

[TD-Second-Hand]

When the TD series is completely over and you're out of material, or if your seemingly photographic memory ever fails you, you'll have to go back to art school AGAIN.

Also happy new year Razi!

Raziberry responds:

DEAR GOD NO

[The Magician & The Mother]

Damn that escalated quickly. Wasn't sure what I was in for with the opening, seeming a little goofy, then the vomiting ectoplasm til you fill a whole room starts. Also the little twist before the end there where it was not one ghost, but two. Pretty quality.

ClockworkPixel responds:

Thanks!

[Randall]

I liked it, I love the cardboard cutout look in animation, initially I was going to say I thought the dialog could have been better or funnier, or not quite so long, but reading the description and the story behind it gives me a little more appreciation. I think the important thing with any video is either the animation or sound has to carry it forward, either the dialog is too interesting and you need to hear it all, or the animation has you in a trance. In my case it was the animation. Also as a sidenote, the voice your friend put on reminds me of Dr Girlfriend from Venture Bros.

weirdegg responds:

Right on, appreciate your thoughts! I can def think of animated shorts where I loved the dialogue but the visuals less so, and vice verse. We're stoked that you dug the animation. Also, we do love Venture Bros, can def hear the vocal similarity to Dr. GF!

[Burrito & Son]

That plush turned out really well my guy. The real question though is when are you just gonna fill a whole video with lewd anime girls?

mattyburrito responds:

thank you so much! lmao i don't think I'm good enough yet where I could do a whole vid

[The Lighthouse Girl]

pretty neat, it seems a little sad that the plant companion helped her out with all of those tasks, and then becomes the beacon for the lighthouse at the end. Does that mean he just stays there until he eventually wilts away? also it's always nice to see animations from the past, back when the motivation to due everything wasn't just how much money people will make from their patreon follows or youtube ads. I like passion projects.

rtil responds:

No, he doesn't die after he becomes the beacon, he just needs everything they picked up throughout the day in order to do it. She brings him back home and they do it again every day.

[math problems guy]

Hahaha, this is a lot better than the fish one for sure. Are these all old works or are you just pumping these out that fast? I'm enjoying most of what you've made

wavetro responds:

Yeah, I release these videos as soon as I finish them! It has definitely taken a toll on me though, so I've started slowing down a bit to prevent any more destruction to my health lol

[Nightman (Episode 2)]

Man, this ugly gritty art is really interesting to watch. Don't be discouraged if not everything you make is met with popular demand, This is true art my friend. Keep up the good work

D-Liu responds:

I don't know if it's art, I still think I got a long ways to go... But thank you so much for appreciating the stuff I'm making!

[Red Snow]

Hahaha what the fuck, the sound design was god tier. Felt like 1995

D-Liu responds:

Hahaha thanks! I used a toy rifle.
