MinatoArisato's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Where is Adeleine?]

Great hyness impression lol. Star allies was a pretty visually appealing game, specially toward the end with the final boss. Just wish the framerate had been better.

KimiOmega responds:

It was a fantastic game yeah!
tho it felt a bit short, the DLC added afterwards was really cool

[Kirby Guardian Ep2: Cloud gazing]

This is such a weird and interesting series, I'm happy to see another one so soon. The way you draw Adeline, it's slightly lewd and violent. The content of these animations so far has been in the spirit of Kirby, but also kind of violent and creepy. We see lots of animations with hyper violence and comedy, but this has been something different and interesting. I really like it so far, so keep up the good work.

KimiOmega responds:

Thank you for the comment
When animating/ drawing my other series, my goal is always to make it appealing to look at but with a good dose of edge/violence (too much would be boring and forced) I want that to be my trademark.

As for the "lewd" part, I really don't want things to get weird. It's boring to me and I don't like it.
It's just another series from your boy: Charming, dumb but still some good fun!

[TD-Manga-ka]

Hahaha, I can really appreciate your depictions of the early internet. Back when I was refreshing QC, Darkencomic, VGcats, crazy sunshine, Super squad(go read that one https://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Nintendo_Super_Squad/4985727/) and whatever the fuck that really well drawn gnome comic was. There was so much wild stuff back then with maybe only a few hundred viewers, and people were still happy to make it even if they weren't really getting paid for it. Plus I guess, no public shaming for whatever you chose to make.

I felt that same fall off of webcomics around the same time, not sure why, probably has to do with the internet becoming more of a google/twitter/facebook space and less scattered crazy domains that only you as an individual might find like some sort of lost relic. I think there still is a bit of a scene out there, I found this smackjeeves site the other day that apparently hosts a bunch of comics. Also drunkduck seems to still be around.

I always wanted to draw webcomics too, but I realized very early that I was both lazy and had no real artistic talent for visualizing things. I have old scribblers and sketchbooks full of not quite stick people with triangle heads and sayain armor because anime was fucking cool back then and I just wanted to be as good as they were. In the end, I'm old now, and I spent all of my time playing video games or working, so I never graduated beyond my childish art, and as such I'm stuck knowing I probably will never have the time or the drive to make things like you and others do. Still I have that desire to create things, and I think about it a lot, because I want people to understand those memories I have from the 90s and early 2000s, so I can show people just how fucking good things could be, or produce some kind of content that was reminiscent of those times. But eh, watching this is the next best thing, so thanks for providing amigo. don't die anytime soon, maybe we can live long enough to download our brains into a virtual reality someday.

Raziberry responds:

Here's hoping!

[Clean Up]

The design of the tower was pretty nice, obviously there's lots of cleaning and throwing out trash, is this a message about cleaning up personal junk and moving on? What was the intention?

IncendiaryStarfish responds:

Yeah basically, Its like cleaning out the trash in your mind to open it up and move on

[Onion Soup]

Hmm...it was interesting, but it wasnt either creepy enough or funny enough. It seemed like it was going funny first? But maybe the intention was creepy the whole way through, so I felt like it ended a bit abruptly after little buildup

Mental-Autopsy responds:

It's supposed to be a combo of creepy and funny, the two don't have to exist separately

[Great Destiny Man and the Shadow of TREACHERY]

No Von Bomb in this episode? Also nice to see you again SL. Have loved watching your stuff since probably....2008? 2009? Its been a long ass time. I hope you're doing well in this weird subpar future we've gotten ourselves into. Also, I'd love to see another project with you and weebl together. I think that was one of your best.

Sexual-Lobster responds:

i'm doing pretty well thanks. Vonbomb plays the bar lady here. you'll hear more of her in episode 3

[The Man, The Woman, and the Donkey]

I know its based off the fable, but this is a good moral lesson for the modern era where everyone is so deeply offended by everything and everyone. simple and to the point.

SoraNgin responds:

I agree! Thank you!

[My Super Relatable Video!]

You make some quality garbage friend. I took a minute but suddenly I remembered everything you were talking about with all these draw my life college stories and like. Its been a couple of years, but damn, are they still getting tons of views for those?

mattyburrito responds:

thanks for watching! honestly I think this video's already a little dated now cuz that whole draw my life movement was way more popular back when I was in school... and more relatable.. but they're all still like a couple million views a piece

[Solid Snake: ULTIMATE Moveset?! - Got A Minute?]

While this is alright as an informative piece, I don't think it really fits on Newgrounds.

SchmidtTimes responds:

I appreciate your feedback, friend! I've always been on the fence whenever I upload here because I'm not a true animator, but I've been building up a little niche of viewers and there's a few folks who like my posts, so I've been keeping it up! I try to focus on the videos with the most intensive editing vs. straight gameplay, so not everything I produce finds its way to Newgrounds! Haha, it's a delicate balance and I'm trying my best not to disrespect the community here!

[Skitzo Vs Cuphead]

Animation is good, though it would be nice to have shown some bullet feedback like a minor flicker similar to the cuphead bosses. 3rd phase seemed like a more simplified offshoot of the Devil's, but the drooling mouth frames were especially good and creepy there, probably the best part for me. Also did he attack with pubic hair in phase 2?

Comick responds:

Glad you liked the animation and honestly yeah I forgot they flicker when hit...opps! Also yes those were his pubes attacking. You kinda need to watch Skitzo's cartoons to get that joke, but basically in his animated shorts, Skitzo has sentient living pubes in his pants that grab stuff and eat small animals that get too close! hahahahaha
