Blud-Shot's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Samurai Sword 9]

Great work

Very nicely done, the fighting was fun to watch and the animation was very smooth. The characters could use a little more detail to them but then again everyone has their own way of drawing. Try to make the girl more feminine rather than making her more masculine. The voice cast could use a bit of work, you can get voice actors by posting demands in the NG Forums. The character who uses his bones as weapons was a very creative idea, and I have to say the outcome kept me in some suspense.

In your author's comment for the movie, you might want to add facts like how long the movie is, how many frames, how long it took you and the ups and downs. I don't know about other users but I often wonder about those questions when I watch a flash animation.

[Koden X Prologue Part 1]

Nothing New

The name of the characters as well as the town's name were cheesy. The animation could use some more quality to it, however it was very smooth and the environment wasn't that bad.

Main character was too typical and nothing special, he reminded me of another Cloud Strife an emotional protagonist possessing hidden powers. The part where he meets the girl who rescued him was pretty damn cliche. As was the scene with the flower petal that fell from the pink flower.

I liked the voice acting for the main character and the girl. Perhaps you should emphasize on the background a little bit more because it seemed too plain at some points. There was a good use of 3D effects throughout the move.

I hope my review of your movie can help you improve the weak spots. Overall I would have to say I didn't enjoy the movie much but I give you kudos for making a higher quality animation than most of NewGround animations.

I look forward for seeing the next episode of your movie. Keep up the good work.

Oh Wow! Awesome review! As for the characters first of all, my personal friend who saw it said the main character acted a bit like Cloud Strife as well! If I think about the character altogether and who he is, i'd say he is far from that! I could understand though how you see that now, it's kind of a duh thing. All I can say is, you'd have to understand what he went through (which will be revealed in a later time) and then you'd think, well just about any "normal" teenager in his position would act like that! But I totally see where you come from. Also, I can't say we work terribly too much on the names, in fact, all of the names (even Winzra which I came up with when I was play Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles when it came out...lol) were pretty much thought up of rather quickly (something we should work on!). Your honest review makes me really happy on things we should work on.

As for the petal scene, all I can do is laugh about that! When Chase did that part of the film, he asked me "Is this cheesy", to which I replied "Yeah, pretty much". We were conflicted though, I suppose symbolically it worked, but in the end it was still cheesy. We just decided to leave it, no harm no foul right?

Overall, I think you should consider continuing watching as they come out; at first glance it would seem like a lot of cliches and nothing really new. But this story has honestly been through a lot of refining and I think overall it is a fairly original piece of work. Either way, I look forward to reading your reviews on anything we submit, I like it!

Thanks again!! ^___^

Make longer ones

That was funny but they was only two of them. You should make several and then put them all together. From watching that video, I can tell that you are capable of making funny Flash Animations. Good Luck.
