"I saw that anime not that long ago"

submission: Gunslinger Girl Berserk

date: May 30, 2008

I saw the anime not too long ago, so I decided reviewing this.

You have a nice drawing style and your animation is running smooth. Pretty nice. I see you recreated the very first scene of the anime. Its pretty well done, but maybe you should try out something different than the recreation of an animescene, something longer too. With your skills you can make something better than this. I am very impressed by the gore in this animation. The characters are kind of simple although you did a very well job on the girls' hair.

There are some things you could work on. For example, the main difference between this and the anime is, that in the anime I can tell what was going on. Everything in your animation is going so fast, its hard to tell what exactly is happening. It seems like random violence because you cut out the dialogs.

And you should have added music. If possible from the Gunslinger Girl soundtrack. Music gives animation more of a reason. Its much easier for te watcher to understand a scene that way, even without speech.

I would have enjoyed this movie better if it wasnt done in madness style, but I guess I have the anime for that :3
Youll get my 8, good job!

That was awesome, I was expecting nothing like this! =D
I think this needs a seizure warning though :P

I can't describe this other than random. The music made me laugh, and the animation was just perfect. It was a very messy animation, but I wouldnt call it crappy at all. You sir have style, and a good sense of humour.

"Psycho"

submission: Reiko - S'no Fair

date: March 9, 2008

A very nice animation, the first one I'm watching. Very stylish with great work on the details of the characters. Also a nice use of colors, which sets a great horror theme.

Audio is something you could work on. To set a creepy theme the bells weren't so bad, but they got anoying quite fast. The laughing girl sounded looped, and the voice acting at the ending wasn't quite convincing to me. Maybe no speech at all would have been better. The sound effects were ok though. Some wind blowing softly in the background would have been nice.. Oh, and I really loved the voice at the beginning "Reikooooo". Together with the opening screen.. Now that's really horror like!

Details on the surroundings. The falling snow didn't look like snow but like big white blobs falling from the sky. The rest of the surroundings looked too simple along with the animation. I admit it looks stylish, but really.. It bothers me a little.

Animation. You gave the characters alot of detail, and this looks very nice. But it makes it a lot harder for you to create a smooth frame by frame movement. For example the movement of hair, it looks really choppy. It looks very stylish though. Except for the blood and snowsplashes, they weren't hard to draw but oddly animated. You might want to work on that.

Moodsetting. I guess this is supposed to be horror, but it did not really drag me in. It's more like a twisted kindergarten story gone psycho to me. I would love to see more tension :3

"har har =D"

submission: Armor Trigger 2

date: March 9, 2008

Hey pat! I just finished playing the game and it was awesome! I never expected an ending like that with hard mode lol!

This game had the best graphics so far in this series. The music is happy and trancy like always. And there are some changes in the gameplay. Like in mapmode the randomizer had been edited, you'll play 2 games that are automaticly randomized, before hopping to a new spot on the map. The map is smaller because of this, and the game seems really short. But aw well, you can always play it again! =D

"Circular Tetris :3"

submission: Brick Hole

date: February 9, 2008

First I opened the game. The loadingscreen showed me the controlls. Kind of confused, I pressed play, and waited for what's to come. The idea was pretty simple, yet it was a really good idea. It's like a 360 degrees tetris.

It seemed enjoyable at first, but it turned out to be pretty anoying. First thing I want to talk about are the graphics: There is no eyecandy.

Next thing I want to talk about, which is more important, are the controlls. The controlls are a bit buggy. Sometimes the game won't react fast when I press a key, sometimes it acts when it shouldnt. If this could be fixed it would be alot better!

Most important thing I want to talk about is the gameplay. When I press either right or left, the dropping blocks move. Now here is my idea if you're thinking of creating a sequal: Instead of having the dropping blocks move, the circle should move. This way it is alot easier to play!

I hope you take my advice into consideration. It would be great to see a sequal to this game! ^-^

"Oh god XD"

"Just read the pm that you used my music:3"

submission: Class Rage

date: December 17, 2007

A short bit at the beginning, and a loop that wasnt edited well at the ending lol. But nah, you didnt ruin my song^-^

I like your drawings, they look a bit sketchy overall, but you have a great style. The scenes you draw are great. Like angles you pick, and scenery. I love your style^-^

Some advice you could take in consideration is the use of a shapetween. I do not recommend it myself. It changes a drawing into a next drawing, but it usually doesnt change the way you want it. Frame by frame is the best option if you ask me^-^ If you dont know how to do this accurately, you could look up some info about "onionskins". They are simple to use, and really effective! =D

I hope you enjoyed my review. And feel free to use more of my music if you want to:3

"Awesome Game haha"

submission: Deep Chamber

date: December 7, 2007

Haha dude that was awesome! I was playing it, and got really into it. You confused me with all the mystery, and I was seriously really getting into it! Then I finished the puzzle and lol'd XD

There's not really a story in it at all, but it was fun:3
Great job man! I loved it ^-^

"Really promising!"

submission: The Theory of everything

date: September 10, 2007

A female animator! Always nice to see one, in this community of animating guys. I have to say this is looking very promising. The music fits really well, and you did a awesome job with the visual effects. Also the movements of the characters look pretty realistic, and I find it cool to see a non-human character. Oh and the title.. just so promising!

Some advice though: People prefer use of preloaders. And im not sure if you should make your video loop. Also the moviesize is a bit small, people prefer it bigger, and there is a special place to post your previews:

I dont mind you posting a small movie which is a preview thoughXD I would work on the preloader part though, and it would be good if it ended, and not loop.

Im really curious to the end result!
