Battosai810's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Lemming May Cry]

Not bad at all!

The art was pretty simplistic, and the animation alternated between fairly smooth and jerky. I did, however, love the blood effects, and you used really visceral sounds - not the exact same madness ones that everyone else uses. A pretty good madness style flash overall - really liked the two guns thing; that really encapsulated the Devil May Cry factor of it all.

ebony and ivory, baby

[Psycho Mantis' Flaw]

I love being Snake!

Saw this while you were working on it, love seeing it in it's final form on NG! Great artwork and animation, and the script has always been great.
Hope both of us get into the MGS Collab!

FaltaViva responds:

Me too, hopefully me releasing it as it's own thing won't hurt it's chances.

[A day in animator's life]

Great, now I HAVE to get working...

Honestly, here I am with a huge flash project I need to work on, and but GTA IV about 3 feet away. Whatever shall I do?
Anyway, pretty good submission. The art and sound were both pretty decent, but I've got some suggestions on things you can improve on -
1. Spelling, or at least get voices in instead. The text was alright, but the spelling wasn't so good.
2. Length - I know it's just one joke, but that was a pretty short animation. However, if it was much longer it probably wouldn't have been as funny.
Anyway, pretty good animation, hope to see your talents improve!

Shadowii2 responds:

Heh, this was rather short flash made in 3 hours actually, so this is nothing when compared to my bigger flashes (both graphically and joke-wise).

1. Well, I would have been force to make both of the voices myself, so I thought I should leave voices alone

2. Yep, also my usual "makin'-flash-longer" methods don't turn out to be good, instead of that boring.

But thanks for your opinions there.

[The Anger of Animation 2]

Best of it's kind since the original

Tons of Animator Vs. Animation knockoffs come through every week, but this is the first I've seen that matches the quality of the original (granted I haven't seen your first yet, but I'll get on that after this review)
Animation was smooth, and damn good picture quality on those backgrounds. The way you brought the stickman to the desktop was really cool, as was the way you killed him. Good work, and grats on the daily feature.

KobraEditing responds:

Thank you very much...Happy to entertain

[Not-The-Final Fantasy XII]

Love your work!

While I still think Half-Beard is slightly better, this one was fantastic. That whole "effeminate lead male" thing bugs the hell out of me too. Back in FFX, I'd be tempted to skip the cutscenes just because Tidus was whining so much. The art and animation have only gotten better with this series, and I can't wait for the next one! Keep it up!
(PS: the music was fantastic)

Bobert-Rob responds:

Dude, Tidus' complaining was hilarious, if you think about it. Especially his voice actor.. I don't think they could've gotten him a bitchier voice actor, it was perfect. And his voice spazzed out so much, "EH SHIT I WANNA GO HOME, WAH", it was great. Especially at the end of the game, too funny.
*ahem*
Anyway, thanks for the review!

[Agnry Rant]

Title says it all really...

First off - I feel your pain as far as the rant goes. I'm sick of stupid Madness ripoffs that I have to regularly blam on a daily basis. The animation of him talking is pretty decent, if spastic. My problem is the sound. There's so much mic spiking and crackling noise, it's hard to listen to. Also, a ranting face in front of a screenshot of today's flash portal isn't terribly interesting to look at.
As for your message - I hear ya. Tired of the same old bullshit.

Omenator responds:

Thanks for the helpful review - sorry you didn't find it more appealing.

[Mushroom Stories CP (WIP)]

Just an intro, but a good start.

It's just an intro, but it's a decent first step. The art looks pretty good, just needs some sound!
Look forward to seeing one of these completed!

MettalicDwarf responds:

Don't worry, i'm working on it. Thanks.

[Madness Orention 1]

Not bad, just derivative

First off, let me say this is a fine animation. The animation itself is fairly smooth, if occasionally kinda jerky, and the artwork is clean and simple. Then again, the artwork is just Krinkels' own madness sprites, plus a few of your own thrown in the mix. The plot is the typical madness "tribute" plot of just killing everything in the way to one guy - I know you explained it a little more in depth in your description, but that's all you can really get from the movie itself. The whole flash was fairly well done, if predictable. Even the protagonist getting shot at the end has been done by Krinkels to death. I honestly saw that coming a mile away.
Regardless, this flash suits itself fine as yet another madness "tribute" or what have you. Very few Madness flashes not made by Krinkels himself are terribly inventive or distinct, and this is just another one of them. Take your flash skills and work on something that's yours next. Keep up the work.

illingworthproducts responds:

thanks... dotn worry my next one will be better

[Surrealist Film]

Buggy.

I liked what I saw, I really did. The art and music were both good, and the animation itself wasn't too bad either (although I prefer a darker surrealism.)
Problem was, the preloader stopped less than halfway through and I had to manually right click and click play. Then in the middle of the animation everything froze up, but the music kept playing. I tried the same thing and nothing happened. Fix the glitches if you can, I really want to see the rest.

DustinRients responds:

Thanks for the heads up, I will try the best I can to make it work better.

[Cheese Puffs! #4]

Not too bad

I've never seen any of your stuff before, but this isn't too bad. The sound quality is loads better than most flashes here have. It was pretty funny and had a clean, if somewhat bland art style. The one thing I suggest is getting more voice actors. All the voices in this cartoon sounded like the same 13 year old kid. Anyway, keep up the work, hope to see some more from you in the future.

minibeast198 responds:

What's funny is that each character is voice acted by a different person. We do all sound the same though...
