EpikHellSword's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[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!

Now I know why I like him so much. He (and this movie with the music and animation) reminds me of GetEd which I loved as a kid. Although the animation looks kinda weird, it WAS 2003. Great work.

MindChamber responds:

Never saw getED before that was really cool.. if you want to see a show that got even closer to what I was aiming for check out "IronKid"..
Also blueBeetle from DCU is pretty much Alloy at this point 😐

[Insufficient: Tear]

Blank background and oddly shaped clouds, simple sun (ya got that right). Nice river effect with the ripples. Dead bird and butterfly...okay. Nice job with the shadows. The characters design gives a Nine movie (2009) vibe to it along with the music. Like her sewed mouth as the biggest example and the big monster thing with the spider legs. Love the symbolism throughout and how you let the music and actions of the characters let the movie flow. Although the animations look rather odd like the shapes of the clouds. Three and a half stars for very nice symbolism that built up to an ideal story that seems in progress, definitely an interesting concept, but animations on the characters and the background can be cleaned up a little better. Are you going to make more movies that extend to this? It definitely would be worth watching if the animation was tweaked up a little like the clouds. May want to add some backstory, like who is this? How did she get here? What is this place? Why is she so ignorant when the skull-faced creature faced her? Great work though. Absolutely love the concept.

Marckel responds:

Thank you for the in-depth response! I agree with the quality of animation; it definitely was the most lacking part but I'm glad you liked the concept. While not the main influence for this, Nine has always been a huge inspiration and a personal favorite. The music's all thanks to @Karsys though!

[Tira-Bella Scroll]

2 1/2. Amazing animation, great camera movement, average background. Nice designs on the characters. Great bodies with the stomaches and shadows. Would be better done as an art project

jng-artimation responds:

It's a proof of concept to a bigger project I'm working on. But, yea. Just wanted to put something out there.
