EpikHellSword's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[OFFICIAL ANIMATOR REWIND 2019]

Very fluid animation, excellent background and character design, fantastic use of camera angles, perfect voice acting, and awesome sound effects. Well used shadows and lighting, not to mention the animation style changes here and there. Love the fourth wall break moment, jokes, and references. 0:37 that bread was hilarious! At times the line delivery seems dry, but this IS a comedy animation so I'll let it slide. The different animation styles blend together smoothly. DUDE at 2:53 you could've had a perfect sooubway reference for James! Missed opportunity man! (that doesn't affect my rating though). Smooth transitions and beautiful music. The voice acting could be more exaggerated like 0:20 the guy could've took a beat and screamed, "WHAT?!" or could've delivered that line in a more confused tone. It's really solid with the only critique I have being the voice acting not being big enough.

[DWO - Pilot Episode]

Fantastic background design, appropriate sound effects, good voice acting, smooth transitions good camera angles used within the movie.. That was a very distinctive animation style for what I usually see for stories like this which was fascinating. Excellent facial expressions for each line. 7:00 That was a really cool camera angle, I don't really see that often. 7:43 That was awesome work with the hair physics. At 8:45 and 8:49 their faces are hilarious! At 3:02, I would take a beat for that line. Lip sync could use some work as well, even though I can imagine using this animation style is difficult. Voice acting also seems a bit amateurish at times as in I don't really see the lines delivered in the tone they would usually be, not sure if that's suppose to be comical or not but I'll take a half star off for that. Still a concrete job though, especially for the first episode.

[Christmas Photo]

Good shadows and lighting, nice camera angle, nice character and background design, appropriate facial expressions, wonderful anime elements in, great voice acting, and perfect music used.

[Nightmare March]

Awesome music, good animation, fantastic character/background design, nice lighting, and satisfying physics, I really enjoy the eyeballs in the background with the fur. Is this a cult or assault? I like how they go different speeds as well. great work.

Thanks for your kind words!
This is a reference to my WIP game "Little Laughters". In this case, Warai spawns all those minions to spread his fearful smile and laughter.

[Xionic Madness 4 Part-3]

I remember seeing this in 4th grade. It brings lots of memories. I honestly couldn't pick a favorite character and still can't. Now that I come back. Music is well done, props to the voice actors, they did flawless and never missed a tone or beat. The sound effects are nicely timed. The character and animation style is unique as well as the abilities and personalities. The camera angles and physics are perfect, each fighting sequence is unique. I absolutely was amazed by the ghost, mainly because it looked like a Tricky cameo. The contrasting color schemes are very aesthetically pleasing and are an icon for each character and the amount of detail in the debris each one had in the movie was impressively well blended together. The first time I saw this, it felt like an hour long because of how enticing the story is with every action packed sequence. It felt like I was legitimately watching a whole movie always excited to see a new episode. I enjoyed the contrasting fighting style of Omega being straightforward and blocking while Xero dodged like the ninja he is. Perfect finale

[Claude Interrogates Jeritza]

Short, but funny. Good character and background design, lighting, and voice acting.

[Hiro the Dense 2]

Flawless character and background design, voice acting, story, and animation. Hilarious dialogue, slapstick, and cartoon vibes.

[Stuck In a Strangers House (Feat. Shgurr & Oscartoons)]

Perfect animation, it really reminds me of the style of Jaiden Animations (honestly I heard Jaiden's voice for a second when the video started and was like,"Jaiden?" until my head processed the voice and I realized it was your's). Very cartoonist style animation.. Good sound effects, character, and background design. Pretty high quality video. Perfect.

Thank you! I Really appreciate the feedback!

[Hiro the Dense]

Hilarious

[Hellami Animated Series Episode 1 "Hellami"]

The animation reminds me of RWBY and the Boondocks the designs are definitely interesting, the camera angles are well done, reminding me a bit of Hellsing- like the tapping on the desk where the camera angle is to someone's fingers. The slow pace of the movie mixed with the detective-type music made it boring at times, kind of like if I was watching Death Note. The background design is okay. The shadows and lighting are good as well as the reflections, but the story feels slow, the voice acting needs a bit more emphasis when the lines are delivered, I can kinda hear the characters, but there still is a monotone undertone to them. Some animations like 3:34 took away from the vibe you were probably going for as it looked too animated, like a comic. I could see where you were going with that, but still, that animation looked hilarious, not sure if you wanted it to be, but mixed with the heavy music, that just made me laugh I'm not really sure where you're going with this series as it seems like an animation inspired by a combination of tons of anime made into a new series
