submission: It's Over Nine-Thousand!

date: June 25, 2008

i think the scouters can only handle numbers with up to 4 digits.
and besides that, it's a mildly catchy techno song, but these kind of videos are dime a dozen on youtube.
let's review.
Newgrounds: original flash cartoons.
Youtube: stolen anime videos.

don't mix it up.

Score: 9

"Good job, but keep working on your skills."

submission: Guitar Battle

date: June 18, 2008

i really enjoyed your Guitar Battle flash. it shows a great deal of potential.
you kind of overused the tween command, but that's forgivable. the music you chose fit the situation you put them in.
the part when the afro guy died after being hit by a water bottle didn't really have any impact to me, and even though the music went well with the scene, and you needed an excuse to do a flashback, it's almost a predictable newgrounds cliche nowadays. the contents of the flashback makes the viewer feel as if though the protagonist is going to make a miraculous comeback, so it's not really a surprise.
as for your comments in which you say you're going to make a sequel, that's not needed.
you made this for school, and it has served it's purpose. if you have the same teacher next year, taking the next level up of the same class, he won't be impressed by seeing you do the same thing over and over. you were merely demonstrating the skills you learned in his class. now you can use those skills to do anything you want. please don't limit yourself to being "that guy who animates guitarists and nothing else". use your summer vacation to develop your skills, make the kind of stuff you wanted to make during your school assignments but couldn't get away with.
or maybe if you do indeed make a sequel as you were going to do anyway, then maybe develop your established characters or introduce new ones.
keep up the good work.

"a great prank!"

submission: Haruhi Suzumiya

date: April 30, 2008

i sat down and waited through the entire preloader, and instead of being mad at seeing a pink penis, i had a laugh because i appreciate a good preloader gag as i've done them in the past. my flash "naruto chop squad" was just a matter of being good long enough to hook the viewer, there was no need to finish it.

Score: 5

"nice to see you're having fun with your game."

submission: How to be a Guitar Hero

date: December 11, 2007

watching people who are good at guitar hero aren't fun to watch.
you appeared to have a lot of fun and was quite entertaining, i could even tell you were starting to get tired around the halfway point.

this really is a youtube kinda video, it's not really a newgrounds kinda thing, maybe you could use this video as a template for a cartoon featuring a character who gets even more into it. maybe make it another hitler cartoon, the kind you're apparently famous for.
the part when you smashed your plastic controller, and tried to put it back together with a hammer was quite silly, but when the dog showed up i expected him to take over playing guitar hero, not just bark at you in disapproval.

it's not a wireless controller, it had a wire sticking right out of it as you went for a swell drive and rocked out while driving and could have got into an accident.

Score: 10

"the food pyramid makes me happy"

submission: D4ilytoon 9/11 Edition

date: September 11, 2007

the terrorists make me sad.

the point of this flash is that the attacks happened years ago, while we should still remember what happened, we should also get over it and get on with our lives.

although on the original september 11 day of the attacks i tried to use it as an excuse to get out of school to just go home and watch tv and eat ice cream. well, i didn't have any ice cream at home, i was gonna walk home and pick up a bucket on the way.

Score: 10

"i got a kick out of this."

submission: D4ilytoon # 316

date: August 8, 2007

i try to make it a habit to watch every day's dailytoon, and today's was especially fun. i liked Power Ranger YELLOW's movie best, and ultra pop's stick flash that probably had nothing to do with naruto had a neat little bonus which i liked.
good work everyone. i like how Yellow's movies don't rely on overly elaborate intros or fancy shmancy menus and just lets the movies speak for themselves, even if the message isn't always what people want to hear.

"kinda sucked."

submission: Uchiha Vs. Lee

date: March 28, 2007

for ninja, they're not very agile.

why did rock just stand there and take that chidori like that?

and why were they fighting in the first place?

stolen graphics, not stylish, stolen sound, there was some violence but no concequences, a play button, not funny, and i didn't like it.

Score: 4

"I liked the way the animation looks,"

submission: Naruto Party VII

date: March 3, 2007

I also liked the way the mouth flaps are properly synched instead of generic ah-buh flaps, and the character movement is smooth and stylish which already puts it ahead of a lot of other internet cartoons, but skills like yours are wasted on stolen, unoriginal audio clips from the wasteland of pop culture.

it's not hard to find amatuer voice actors with good mics and burning passion for thier art. and here's a shocker: they work for free, and some of them can probably do pretty good impressions of naruto characters..

sure, it's naruto themed and all, but you can maybe change it around to be more of a parody, but put actual thought into it. come up with your own jokes. maybe make up some characters, and write a script for them and animate the result. because there is something that can be funny with a narrative, instead of interchangable jokes where one thing leads to another with no connection to a coherent story.

The animation is hilarious, and the audio is nice and clean, but it's not yours. well, you drew it and put it together i guess, but in your next movie, do yourself and everyone else a favor and do not settle for mediocrity. i'm sure you have an imagination. we all have one. but if you find yourself low on creativity, maybe stop looking at the idiot box so much, and work more towards what you know.

Good luck on your next work, and maybe you'll even make something i like. not that i didn't like this, but i put it in the same category as phoenix wrong, and that doesen't feel right because you actually did some work for this, even if the sound's not yours, and neither are the characters.

for ninja, they sure do a lot of standing around doing nothing.
it's like the original in that matter i guess.

Score: 2

"not bad."

submission: Ganja Farm

date: January 29, 2007

but i got 550 points out of 500 simply by alternating between shift and enter. it's just a quick click kinda game, but not bad. this kind of game is more of a preloader distraction than an actual game.
the ufos were cool though, even if it just adds to the "aliens love pot" stereotype.

if i was high right now this game would probably be fascinating.
