[Super Mario bros Z ep 6 (old series)]

Possibly the best episode yet!

This 6th episode appeared to be a crucial point in the Super Mario Bros Z storyline with so much happening on Yoshi's island. It is also a really good thing you managed to exceed the 16k frame limit in terms of the story and even as a better end product. For the story my guess is you were able to tell everything in as much detail as you normally would like with all the action inbetween. I suppose it would also give you more options with the fighting scenes; different angles, cooler moves. Other than these things this was the same as the previous 5 episodes which of course is all for the best.

I seriously cannot wait until the 7th episode and im sure it won't dissapoint.

Weird...

As I am sure you have heard many times, this flash animation is very weird and to most people it probably doesnt make much sense. Though I did not understand it either, I plan to watch it a couple times to see if I can make sense of it. The actual movie itself was really well done. The colours in combination with the smooth animation and the craziness happening on screen made for a really weird atmosphere. The choice of song added to this weird atmosphere produced by the visuals.

Anyways I hope i may be able to find some meaning to this. Keep it up.

[Super Mario bros Z ep 5 (old series)]

Awesome yet again!!

This 5th episode was as good if not better than the previous one, though this one was different for a few reasons in my opinion. In this episode you seemed to put more emphasis on the immediate storyline while in the last one we saw one of Sonic's flash backs explaining how the emeralds made it to Mario's World. There also seemed to be a few more Mario elements present such as the Yoshi's and the map when the crew travaelled to the island itself. The humour in this one was quite funny as well. Finally, I really noticed in this one how you made Luigi seem like a goof more so than in the others.

Overall: an awesome movie, looking forward to reviewing EP6!

[Super Mario bros Z ep 4 (old series)]

Oh man this series is awesome!

This is arguably the best sprite series on the entire site and most definitely on the same level as Randy Solem if not on a better one. This series really has everything you can ever want in a flash or sprite animation, including impressive visuals, tonnes of action and explosions, popular and familiar characters, original plot idea, and on top of everything else: humour. This 4th episode really continued along the story nicely, introducing an entirely new problem (The Koopa bros) that our heros have to deal with for what would seem like a long time.

This one, as all other ones have been, is fantastic and I'm really looking forward to reviewing the next 2!

[Reb: Whats In The Box?]

Very decent but again, too short.

It is obvious why your girlfriend liked this because it was kind of touching and well done. The one problem I noticed however is only the length and besides that everything was excellent. I really liked the visuals actually, I can definitely remember your animation style from some of your previous submissions. It looks as though its anime, with your own unique touch to it. I dont know exactly what was in the box, but I thought it was going to be something that would hit her in the face; i was wrong. I also liked the music that was playing along with the white background.

Anyways continue with the good work.

lenght of the flash was the reason why I hesitated to submit to Newgrounds D:. but looking at the score I can see thats not the case. thank you for your review :)

[:Endless:Pilot:]

Good setup!

This "preview" I guess you can call it seems to set up the entire series pretty nicely. You introduced at least 3 of the characters, two of which seemed to be able to transform into something much fiercer. This also managed to show off your animation style, which was possibly a little too simplistic in terms of actual detail but was quite smooth. The action was really fast paced and it was always easy to tell exactly what was going on. Though I felt even this preview could have been a bit longer and it could have used some sound effects rather than just music(which was good though), I expect the finish product of even the first episode to be exactly this but even better.

I cant wait for the first real episode.

[Gamer Kids: RE4 Wii]

Better than the last one without a doubt!

This second installment was definitely better than the last one that was submitted for a number of reasons. This one was longer, had many more gaming jokes including "Stranger, now thats a real weapon" and "Go ahead and look at Ashley's plaid skirt in high def", and lastly this one had everything that was good about the last one. The animation style was the same, and hence just as likeable as it was previously. It also had the same great voices, and clever idea.

I still need to see more, keep it up!

[Gamer Kids: Modern War]

Nice. Good despite how short it was.

In my opinion it would have been better to see a few of these game jokes in one episode, but even though there was only a single one this time around, you did a good job with it. I was also shocked when they announced that CoD 4 was going modern, though I think i will have to agree with Kandi on this one. I liked your animation style; it was simple yet smooth and bright with a little bit of anime. The fact that you took the term Modern Warfare so seriously was hilarious and the way you executed the joke (the random car bomb, and the "Objective Updated") was clever.

I hope you will make more that are as good if not better and longer than this!

[South Park goes HP]

Funny, but too short.

I felt the same way as these guys when people tried to give away important points in the book, though I didnt break out my wand or anything. This really managed to capture the South Park feel, the simple animation, the over the top battle(which Cartman always seems to be involved in) and the voices for the most part. The animation was almost better than in the real show, but I suppose it wasnt quite as comical. The voices for the most part has at least some resemblance to the real voices from the show. Lastly the plot was something I would definitely expect to see as well.

Anyways nice job on staying true to the show while making this flash your own.

[Future]

One of the coolest looking flash I have ever seen.

I have never seen something like this before. The city seemed to form itself in front of my eyes as the lights turned on and determined what the shape of the building should be. Apart from the incredibly cool animation style, the way you used the song together with the animation was fantastic, the city's lights pulsed in beat with the song, really cool effect. All the lights also seemed to have a sort of gloss to them.

The end product was just very stylish and entertaining. I hope to see more movies with this exact same style from you!
