[Hanks 4rth of July card!!]

It is flashy

I was interested in finding out about a 4th of July flash being submitted today. It seems like, above all the other holidies, the 4th of July has the least number of movies/stuff about it. I have to give you credit on creating a very authentic looking Hank. A firecracker is one of the few weapons that the series has never used. I think what really brings this down is that you mention you were too lazy to do an animation. You should be glad that you are at least celebrating the fourth of July here.

huh... thanks for the tips and compliments

[Rhg10: Fllffl Vs D]

It just never ends!

While it may seem like a generic stick flash at first, it turns out to be anything but! It really beckoned back to the days of "Xiao Xiao" especially with the white background. The sound effects in this one are great too, especially how they just fall down offscreen. That is one of the coolest sword/arrows things that I have ever seen in a stick flash! There is not much else to say, other than that this should appeal to anyone who is a fan of this genre. It even manages to reach to people who just like action.

[Nightshade (Spray Remix)]

Loved it all!

I knew that the person who made "Less Than Three" could pump out another masterpiece! While it works great as a music video, it also helps that it has a real story to it. The animation is great, and I even think the characters look more human like than in your other stuff. There is so much going on you can not help but be absorbed in the whole thing. The most impressive bits might be the unique designs of the robots. You can never go wrong with action scenes with giant swords.

[The doomed shadow show 2]

That Shadow

I like how it seems to take a long time to load, but then picks up after awhile. It is a pretty long cartoon, but due to the fact that it is so freaking funny all the way through. It has not just great humor, but also some of the best animation I have seen in a Sonic parody. Some funny jokes including Amy having Shadow's child despite only speaking twice. There was also Knuckles crying after finding a Chaos Emerald with Shadow. The voice acting is all wonderfully done and quite clear and Amy's is probably the funniest.

[Popstar]

Tarboy guy!

It was cool to see a movie released on April 1st that was in no way a joke. I can certainly tell that you have come a long way since you made this, not to say this isn't great. At first, you think it is going to be a really catchy song, but it is a lot more than that. It is a great satire of what we do with our popstars and where we put our priorities. People are always talking about dumb things celebrities are doing and thank you so much for making fun of this stupid distraction from more important things in the world. The size of butts do change depending on your audience.

[Hero WAR Second Impact]

The Ultimate Showdown!

I do not understand why this is in the "Madness" entry as it is not really in the style of Madness Combat. Well, I guess the body designs were pretty similar to those in MC. Anyway, this was a fantastic cartoon because it just simply seemed to have no end as it went on and on. I would have liked it if you had listed the names of everybody at the end. I think my favorite part would be when Raphael becomes a giant and Mega Man simply shoots through his head and then dies anyway. Some other great characters were Kakashi, Vegeta, and the other Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

[Animator vs. Animation II]

No bad sequels!

What has always interested me about this website is how, unlike movies, it is very unlikely to have a sequel that is not as good as the original, if not better. Anyway, this is fantastic and simply flawless. I especially think it is funny how you have a bar telling how much you have progressed into the cartoon. This really deconstructs the entire fourth wall or at least on a computer. I love how literally everything has so much personality to it and the animation is awesome. The guy gets eye beams and jumping ability because it is so cool.

[Hello, Fred The Beard]

what if I shave?

You always had a talent for making silly music videos and this is no exception at all. While you did not make this song, I have to give you props for using it in such a funny manner. Fred himself looks like a goat. What is probably the funniest is how deadpan Fred is and how stupid and excited the guy with Fred is. Even as he is being shaved, he just takes everything extremely casually and apathetic. Fred is of course a cool character in his own right, as he wears sunglasses and plays the guitar.

[asi- Random Story]

3D Animation?

This has just got to be one of the most adorable flashes I have ever seen here. Apart from having great music (never really heard of Hunter X Hunter much before) the story is so sweet. I love cats (or dogs?) and it was awesome to see them transform into humans. Every frame of this movie has something adorable going on and I love how the characters move. Without using dialogue, you have really been able to give your characters depth and dimension. While it did not get that popular, at least it gets a high rating and an award.
