Perfect short little burst
The animation was brief, but just so funny. The animation was really smooth and fluid, and far more 3 dimensional than almost any other Madness flash out there.
The main joke was pretty funny, but seriously, the thing at the end with Garfield may have been my favorite part. I love the image you're making a play on in that part, and it's nice to get an obscenely obscure reference.
Great work as always!
Best WeRBopBop, and the best campaign ad!
Fantastic parody of not only our two candidates, but of action movie trailers in general. The art and animation were even better than the other BopBop toons, which look very good already. The humor was much cleaner than usual as well, which I like more than some of the shock-value stuff in some other BopBop toons. The fact that this cartoon managed to be so damn funny without resorting to that was really great in my opinion.
You also managed to (fairly accurately) portray the characteristics of each candidate well. McCain's warmongering, Palin's reliance on gender, and Obama's "change" campaign, as well as the way the media portrays him. (IE: wrong)
I really like this direction for WeRBopBop, and hope the next one is as good as this one! Consider it fav'd!
A very good start
The art was really nice, and the animation was fluid and smooth.
As you said though, there were audio synching problems. If there was so much as some background music though, your flash would improve greatly.
I like the character designs a lot, and hope they can be in a longer cartoon with some sound added in.
Looking forward to more!
Thank you so much for your response! I'm pleased to hear that the characters of Kraklak were appealing, and that you'd even like to see them in a longer piece!
What the hell just happened, and why do I like it?
If I were to judge this by art alone, it would get a half decent score. It was heavy on the brush tool, which I don't like much. However, it just brought so much random joy. The combination of the impossible to understand music and the simplicity of the longcat made it really entertaining.
Thank you for bringing a smile to this cynical reviewer's face.
Very stylish, and funny too!
This was one cool flash. The art was really cool, and all the characters had a neo-noir vibe, with the eternally lit cigarettes and silhouettes.
Funny touches like people saying "love" after everything, and taking pictures of the murder scene were great, and really gave some extra personality to it all.
A stylish, unique, and funny animation. Not many things this original come around on Newgrounds - great work!
Yeah, the neo noir thing was something I was going for, but in a comedy sort of way - I'm glad you got the vibe! I tried to make a fully different and unique style out of the cigarette speaking and black silhoettes, but I think I'll change that in future, seeing as smoking is gradually being phased out in society and will soon turn into something of the past.. It's about time I stopped being lazy and learnt to do some proper lip-synching :(
I'm working on refining this style and adding some new, more modern elements and hopefully make a more entertaining and fun flash series. I've found it's not a bad start looking to your stuff for examples of how to do that!
Thanks for the uplifting comments dude!
At first I didn't have high hopes
It started out and it looked nice, but I really couldn't understand any of the sound. The voices were kind of muffled, but what was onscreen looked really good.
Then there was the "upgrade" scene, where Tony is hammering his crotch, and I just couldn't help but start laughing. Paired with his expressions, the gagball, and the soundtrack music, that was just brilliant.
Penny at the end was a nice touch too!
Great work, now if only we could touch up that sound a little...
4/5 8/10
The best Madness tribute continues
99% of Madness tributes on Newgrounds range from bad to unwatchable. Your series offsets this trend with an original narrative, colorful and good looking art style, and a legitimate story to tell, not just mindless violence.
Loved the first one, loved this one, and you can bet I'm looking forward to Xionic Madness 2, come September!
Fantastic work in every aspect!
:D yay I survived, thanks ;D
I'm Camtoons. I make cartoons. That's not confusing or anything.
