[Stickman ninja ep 2]

lol

what was that song at the end with the dramatic vocals? i liked the soundtracks you used overall for this flash. they were very amusing. also the sound acting isnt bad. i will award you with 6 points because i liked the overly theatric sounds and vocal towards the end. -whoops i gave you a 7.

FiddisProductions responds:

Ha its all Sepharoths main theme song. It goes for 7 minutes so I have been takeing snipits from it.

[Toaster-Hand Man]

lol

woop woop woop from Zoidberg?

Mikextro responds:

I think Atomik, voice actor for Microwave Shins (not to mention THM), did it justice.

[Akatsuki Chronicles Ep.2]

Needs refinement, but potential is there.

Horrible, if not an embarrassment to your seemingly fan interest in Naruto.
You've somehow turned you somewhat a tribute flash to Naruto into degrading it further for fans and non fans alike.
Unimpressive at best and could use improvement. I can see the concept is there, which is great, but its delivery is horrible.
A good critic states the obvious, and is not afraid to be honest. I hope you see the big picture and turn your direction else with more effort.

Gokuslilbrother responds:

But I love Naruto!

[wut]

Inappropriate and shameful

I give merit to the style and quality of the visuals, but implemented in the context of a penis is very disappointing, inappropriate and lets the entire flash down.
Your previous works are varied and mediocre at best but this is an embarassment to your collection of flashes and to yourself.
The world is often unkind to new talent, and this atrocity is nothing to be remarkably proud of both from yourself, the community within Newgrounds and the greater audience. It is a shame that from such humble origins one would think such skill is wasted on material like this.
Sure Newgrounds welcomes a variety of content, but the dignity of yourself and your image is whats important.

mrevaaaaa responds:

I respect your opinion but i think that you are posting reviews like this in the wrong place because for one thing: alot of newgrounds likes cock jokes. Tankmen is celebrated and although it has some other clever jokes there were some cock ones thrown in their too. Tom fulp, dan paladin, johnny utah; cock jokes man, cock jokes. They're fuckin' awesome.

And I don't know what dignity you were talking about that i lost from my other flashes because i animated my friend wacking off and made a dress up game with 3 different types of dicks.

No offense to you really, but to some people, cock jokes are the fucking bomb. Simple, completely tasteless, but funny none the less.

[Monster's Dream]

9/10

In many ways the work of a critic is easy. He risks very little yet enjoys a position over those who offer up their work and theirselves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism which is fun to write and to read, but the bitter thrill critics must face is that within a grand scheme of things, an average piece of junk is probably more meaningful that our criticism designating itself.
But there are times where a critic truly risks something. And that is in the discovery and defense of the new. The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations. Here, I've experienced something new. To say that both the flash and its maker has challenged my preconceptions about monsters is a gross understatement.
They have rot me to my core.
Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere. It is difficult to imagine more humble origins than those of the genius behind this flash who is, in this critics opinion, nothing less than one of the finest flashes on Newgrounds. I will be returning to see more flashes from you, hungry for more.

animatorjones responds:

talk about motivation to keep creating...

thanks for taking the time to write this and give an honest review, ill be sure to continue and make more, and hopefully ill see more on the portal from you too! (just watched your collab piece, nice work :D

anyway good luck to you,

[The Orange Box Collab]

Entertaining

A joy to watch but too many sound errors. Visiting other reviews, they all seem to have the same problem. Perhaps more time in refinement and this would not have been overlooked.
Nonetheless a very comic and fresh collab for the ever popular The Orange Box. There were some outstanding parts in there that were of quality and great comic relief. Perhaps one of the finest The Orange Box based collabs on Newgrounds.

assasinrabbit responds:

I know alot of people have been complaining of the sound problem. We have been in the process of fixing the sound for a little over a month. The problem just doesn't seem to wawnt to go away. There are some sound errors that can be easily fixed, and they will be done really soon.

Thanks for the review.

[Get to the Finish:TD]

Rather Bland

Although the quality of this pivot seems outstanding in relation, the whole content of this particular flash is rather boring and unoriginal.
Other than that, it is good to see quality effort put into pivot animations such as this.
How long did it take to make this if you don't mind answering.

putzpie responds:

Since I didn't work on it every single day, and I'd just work on it when I was bored, or in the mood to, about a month or 6 weeks or so. Total work time might have been 3-5 days? I'm not entirely sure.

[that weird feeling]

Questionable title and its presentation

It is clear your directional response toward the d fears videos are obvious but the comic relief and utter lack of depth within this short is something unremarkable and i myself and dare i speak for others is a rather distasteful and bland response to what you have stated in your comments. Yes your boredom leads you towards producing flashes such as this particular installment yet it fails to prevail as a satisfactionary tool for those who are also bored. The humour is clear to understand with clarity in the totally uncalled for tree falling upon its victim is perhaps the only notable thing you have relied on to bring out the so called anticipated freshness from an animator like yourself, Stickmanslicerguy. Out of the most respect possible, it is a rather mediocre performance but somehwat entertaining within a particular niche market.

stickmanslicerguy responds:

thanks for the long review it did clearly deserve a 5 i knew it wasnt going to do to good but i was just trying to see something

[animator vs animator.pt.3]

animator vs animator?

Sure the title is enticing and apparent with interest at best, but the the message is not clear in terms of directional response toward clearness and clarity within the animation process of your work.
Besides a foul taste in the mouth of anticipation, and dare i say boring at best, you open yourself toward criticism and for that the flash is respectable but this work comes appears bland and a loss of interest becomes apparent. The animation style is particularly interesting, the only thing notable that provides interest but besides that the story and meaning behind this needs improvement. Perhaps a higher attention to detail will help this flash and a more colourful selection of characters is in anticipation. Some nice twists and turns but not enough to be remarkable amongst the creative community and amongst your peers.

peixeaquatico responds:

ok I go improve on next

thank you :>

[Bitter Bill]

Rather ordinary addition to pen and paper sketch

A rather bland ending with the animated figure. His lust for sex is what the true motive of this drawn figure is and that is somewhat inappropriate and rather distasteful at best.
Crudely drawn but nicely animated for the amount of experience you have. The voice over for the drawer is rather imbalanced and comes across rather overwhelming in terms of volume and contrast with the background music. Slow for the message to come across and a disappointing ending to anticipation, this short is something rather more suited for the niche market i would call that you have presented for.
The character design of the drawer is average and perhaps it is for the best. Yet my attention is toward the drawn character who surprisingly thirsts for the lust of sexual behavior. He comes across initially from what i seemed it to be as a disgruntled office worker of a garbage disposal unit, a rather black and white, ordinary character. Perhaps the more anticipated direction i would say and dare i speak for others would have been in the more action and violence path for which its absents being apparent is disappointing and leaves a foul taste in our expectations.
Hopefully something more tasteful with the same artful, and quality animation would be in call for future animations.

Slackman responds:

Jeez, a cartoon with taste on NG? Setting our sights a bit high are we? Just a joke.

I'm sorry you didn't like the ending. I thought it was pretty funny personally, but I suppose I'm a bit biased. I'm still getting experience with sound, it's not exactly my strong suit as you've noted, but I think it's just something you learn with experience.

The cartoonist was supposed to look like just a normal guy, which is why he comes off as a bit average in design.

Sex or violence, pick your poison. I happen to like them both, I just didn't bother to make this one too violent.

Sorry I disappointed you, I suppose you just can't win them all.
