Atgod88's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Saturday Morning Watchmen]

You have a gift man.

You are the only animator here in my opinion who can accurately represent the old cartoon style of the past. Your flashes feel like they are made with technicolor thats how close they seem.

Flash smoothes things out so much and some how you can make it look like those old rough cartoons like Looney Toons and so forth.

The voices also perfectly match the 80's style announcers for cartoon shows.

Chucks New Tux was breathtaking with how cartoon-like it was, which in my opinion made it a must have for the top 5 of 2008 and low and behold you took the prize for it.

Great work again!

[Girlchan in Paradise Ep1]

No, no, no!

I don't like it, it had no point. It poked fun at the way anime shows work but that was it, using that stupid parody the entire time gave the feeling of oh yeah haha but the fact that it was the only thing you used to carry the entire weight of the movie really ruined it.

I was never a fan of anime because I am not Japanese, but I understand that people of any race can enjoy other cultures. I have seen a few shows of anime when I was a kid, and although I enjoyed them a little, the things this flash points out always bugged me. And thats what this flash is, a large representation of what is stupid about anime.

I don't see any promise in the idea, you made your point about the anime naming system, stupid arguements, weird chatter about skills and stuff, but there weren't any punchlines, visual things to enjoy, or anything other then a constant stream of things that are annoying. I watched the entire thing hoping for it to get better but there was nothing. You made it lengthy but cut down on the expression on peoples faces and lip-syncing, one guy's dialogue was all from a single frame with one lip movement repeated over and over.

I like your style of drawing, its a cross between anime and americanized cartooning, its a great style, but it has to be backed up with either something that is amazing to watch, like an action scene or a effect or something, instead of doing that you go with comedy which I think is better. This really had no comedy, I didn't laugh at the screen like I am accustomed to with your flashes.

As I watched I got the feeling of yeah, thats pretty accurate on the way anime is, and waited for that certain pun to be over and start a new premise or something else but it continued on for how ever long this movie is.

I realise you put alot of effort into this, the music was all nice and voices were nice but it had to be funny or something that made you go damn, thats beautiful. And it gave neither, it was just a single, punctuated joke that really in its core is something you dislike, so making an entire movie about the thing you hate seems rediculous and a massive waste of effort.

I am glad you are branching out from video game parodies because they can only go so far but cutting into parody of anime doesn't seem like a good leap that basically dies with this flash.

I really hope you go a different direction because I know you could do far better than this.

[Harry The Harlequin Fetus]

One of my favorites

One of my favorite flashes, and one of my favorite animators. I cannot comprehend how you make the fluidity and shaking/pulsing objects you create. It seems like that would take forever to animate. I also liked how the woman became a harlequin as she gave birth.

The underlying creepyness of the way everything runs together makes it less unnerving and more surreal, like the painting of the melting clocks. It all seems kind of kiddie style but then melded with a more dark plot and a huge undercurrent of distaste for the commercialist world we live in and the corruption of the things people do.

Basically, if I could animate like you, I would never stop, I cannot stop watching your movies, when I watch them they match my insane thoughts. Basically a great link of my thoughts into animation. I have always wanted to try to animate the hurricane of thoughts in my mind and basically you do it for me, although in a more clever fashion and definatly a more beautiful style, pissed you didn't even make the top 5 for flashes of the year, I think by effort or breathtaking it was better then Chuck's New Tux, which was still a pretty damn good flash.

You sadly go unnoticed with your flashes, people vote low because they don't know what you have to go through to animate something. You deserve more portal awards then most of the chumps who are on the top 50.

Also I still cannot figure out how to pronounce your name. I know what it is, that mythical animal thing, but it still irks me.

Keep these things coming sir.

Catoblepas responds:

I hate the fact that I have to spend time on other stuff than just animating.

On the other hand, animating can be very boring.

[2nd Annual Tank Awards]

Didn't match my predictions for the winners

But I love being surprised and it's nice some of the more unique and non-series animations won. Sure FPA was a sequel but it wasn't a long running thing like Blockhead or Madness.

I enjoyed Tom hearing what Tom does after gabbing off at awards ceremonies.

The over-the-top audience type thing was great aswell.

[Narwhals]

Another great song Weebl

Great song, but I think you animate your songs the best, it wasn't animated badly by any means but it shows that it isn't your animation.

Great animation though, the Narwhals look like some kind of enemy in a 16-bit Mario game or Paper Mario.

Also congrats on breaking 100 awards.

[LEFT4LOL]

Pretty accurate

Good parody out of the stupid that is the bots, although they are alot more intelligent then normal A.I, with a few defaults that make them pants-on-head retarded.

For more parody you could have pasted R Kelly's head on Louis when he was pissing on the witch. Maybe the song piss on you in the background.

Good work.

[Monochrome Day]

Mildly entertaining

I watched the entire thing and although it wasn't breathtaking I did enjoy the randomness of it, also the style was average enough to make it satirical in my opinion.

More dicks would have made it funnier FYI.

Rejekt224 responds:

Thank you for this honest and breif review of my work.

And, yes more dicks would be nice wouldn't it?

~Pasta La Vista

[Meet the Spy]

Amazingly done since it is made from sounds only

It was really well thought out and you used the sound clips to actually make an entire dialogue which was nice. The animation was smooth and the art was weel drawn out.

Can you or anyone point me in the direction of the TF2 sound effects? I need them for an animation and have been unable to locate them...

[Left 4 Speed]

Ive been waiting for some L4D flashes

Great work Oney, great style for the game.

I wanted to make one of these type things but you basically murdered it for me lol.

Glad you did because you can make it better then I could ever. Louis should have died early because the game is a horror movie and it never bodes well for the black man.

Great job.

[non hooded prawn]

OM NOM NOM

It looks quite delicious my good sir.

Needs butter/cocktail sauce though.
