Absynthe-Minded's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[ChristMASS Inc.]

Hilarious

Finally something that made me laugh out loud, it's been a while since i've had that from a front page entry. Really well written and animated, thanks for making me laugh.

[Girlchan in Paradise Ep2]

Yeah real good.

I like how its not just a parody on anime but also a combination of many of their stories. The intro and the starting credits are awesome. Grando sponsano okudishimas (or whatever) hilarious. The jokes are actually more subtle than you'd expect when you start watching, i discovered more on a second playthrough, altough i missed a lot of jokes on the first playthrough because of the rapid scene transition aswell. You may want to experiment with that. I didn't like the typical 'lazy' animations this time around. These animations (aswell as the transitions) did fit well with the awesome series but here they seem somewhat misplaced, because they draw attention away from the more subtle jokes i think. I'd like to see more of these joint ventures. I'm tired of the Egoraptor-fanboy fucks who rate this low because it isn't just more of the usual stuff. It's easy to tell a lot of effort went into this. Please ignore them, keep up the good work.

[WTF_Action]

Nice

I really enjoyed this. Too bad about the music quality. This skyman concept is really interesting.

[Hyperboy: Episode 5]

I liked it

Animation and style were the best, audio was good and the script isn't bad but it didn't live up to the rest. I especially liked how you synchronized the action with the music, that's done really well. I really enjoyed watching this.

[Hangin with the puzzler 2]

It's not bad but ...

It can use some improvements, first off, the scenes are too long/slow. You can counter this by playing dialog from different angles, have something happening in the background ... etc. The filesize thing is too bad, but you might want to consider making your window larger anyways, and divide the submissions up in parts. You can also try animating expressions while communicating, like having the head move, shoulders shrug instead of just the mouth while talking.

GuyzwithBongz responds:

This was really good feedback. We'll keep that in mind on future projects, and we totally see what your talking about. Thanks so much..... and By the way... Awesome name.

[Not so Funky]

Not as good as it's predecessor.

I still like the style and effects, and the animation of the bird is awesome too. But the fiddling cat still doesn't seem right, with the tweens it's less appealing than in the previous movie imo.

Kuoke responds:

Really? I thought it was a huge interplanetary leap in the right direction.

[Uneasiness of Funkness]

It's really good.

This movie just feels right, the style and the music go together very well. The effects were really awesome. Only the animation of the actual movement of the cat seems pretty stale, it's very hard and time consuming to make it look smooth but i think it's worth it since now it doens't do justice to the overall quality of the movie.

Kuoke responds:

People want him to move, and others don't. There is no compromise.

[Frost'D]

HE HE HE

Very nice quickie, i had a good laugh. The end was a bit sudden but it works.

[Inanimated]

Very good

The story was pretty funny, but it's noticable you had to make it up really quick, but that's okay since it's meant to be comical and not deep or anything. The animation is really smooth and there's nothing bad i can say about the lip syncing. The voice acting was good too, only the police chief sounded a bit forced.

Very nice overall, good job!
