hmmm

judging from the reviews im probably amongst the few who didnt like this but here I go....

The whole point of the flash was to be touching and ummm like emotionally deep n shit.

the problem is that most of the stuff that surrounds this theme, doesnt fit it correctly.
for example the voice actor simply doesnt fit the character. the recodring sounds super forced and I think its a bit distracting. The animation is sloppy and most of the environments look weird/poorly done.

Talking about how depressed the character is about his life and colouring his environment in grays doesnt magically create the necessary atmosphere you are looking for.
I think the biggest obstacle for this is the animation, it need WAY more inbetweens, more... movement? so to speak. the body and face expressions of the main character are bland and unexpresive.

Aditionally i think you should watch pictures/videos of people crying. tears DO NOT look like that. a tear is a small drop of watter coming out from the outer edge of each eye, and slowly marking the shape of the head. take that in consideration as well.

look maybe im just "too elitist" but

yeah

I didnt find it nicelly animated, the voices didnt fit, and it wasnt touching.
theres almost nothing to apreciate about it

ugn

I asume this review will get deleted for not being a 10 out of 10 but you know what at least ill be honest

When it comes to internet cartoons, there is a rule, You dont have to be funny, you just have to think you are funny, a perfect example being this series.

I dont like cyanyde and happyness

Its cheap
its not funny
and it looks like whoever creates them (apparently its more than one person) couldnt make an interesting character design even if his life depended on it
and on top of that all of them look like they were made in like an hour

I wonder if it is even worth to talk about why i dont like these really bad cartoons but im pretty sure that nothing is going to change and you will keep producing them so

in a nutshell learn about comedic timing and for the love of god learn to fucking draw and animate

thanks

this aint bad!

if you are relatively new to flash, you should give yourself a pat in the back! this was a phenomenal first attempt

ya it kinda sucks that you didnt add a preloader (considering there are tons of them for free download here in newgrounds) specially when you were going to show off a short you worked on so hard, like this one. It is also kinda dissapointing that you didnt put credits or, well you know, nice stuff to complement the movie

still, it wouldnt be fair to take points off on behalf of that,Judging from this movie I believe that you are a very skilled artist, and it wouldnt be fair to judge your movie based on your technical knowledge of flash, rather than in your current habilities as an artist/ animator.

that being said

I will just say it, i fucking hate "epic fight" flash videos, why? because most of them are crappy, overdone, generic, and because people who make them often believe that adding a fucking million inbetweens will magically fix bad animation.
I dont know how frequently you watch these kind of videos on the internet but if you take a good look you will notice that most of them suck for similar reasons

what makes your epic mario fight stand out from that really horrible pile, is that you actually know how to draw,animate, and know a thing or two about composition.
Oh and you have a pretty solid drawing, even if a line or two feel a bit dizzy every now and then (bowzers body/hands at the beginning= good example of this)

Your animation in this was often very fluid , and you have a pretty good character body consistency, wich is a very good thing. But I must say, you often just tweened and disorted the shape of a simbol, and it looked just bad. Its hard to explain but I asume you probably know what im talking about. You did it most of the time every time a character ended his punch/attack. More inbetweens would have fit better imo.

This video has a pretty odd framerate problem, I downloaded this swf (for viewing reasons only, I promise!) because there was no preloader and my internet is not very good, and even by playing the swf in my comp, it lagged horribly every now and then. This could probably be due to a lot of tweens/HUGE image filezises (be sure to learn a trick or two about image compression/optimization for your next flash, thats most probably where this problem is coming from)

Other thing that I noticed was that the backgrounds were, appart from not made in flash, very detailed and varied, wich is very good. No complaints there.

I liked your character designs, cartoony looking stuff, I LOVED your luigi, WAY better than shitty anime that is often seen around these parts.

In a nutshell, there were actually a lot of things that I didnt like about this flash, but there were probably a lot more goods than bads and im pretty sure YOU will get really good in no time.

Also about the rating, well originally, I was going to give this an 8, but if I had, this review would have got lost into the great sea of useless positive reviews.

I hope you stick around and make some good flashes, The talent is there and you have already showed everyone what youre capable of, im pretty sure you would probably kick major butt as a traditional animator, just get a bit more down n dirty with this little piggy named flash, and keep it up!

hahaha

nicelly drawn
beautifully voice acted
I liked the appearance of some of your old "office" characters

:<>

lmfao

the preloader alone makes this a flash a funbag

Catoblefaux responds:

A funbag?

Hahaha that was GREAT

For some reason I found it very very very very very cute before It became slightly violent.
Loved the ending.

some of the objects in the movie looked kinda weird to me (specially the christmas tree) but overall it looked pretty good.

I think most dad n me animations are generic and boring. this one was different.

Responsability is what gives life meaning
