[Genie With Dirty Mind: 1]

Quit grabbing my wood!

The animation was nice and some of the punchlines were pretty funny. I just have to say that this is one of the most random premises I have ever heard. Why is this character a genie? It would have worked just as well if he was a regular guy or a talking aadvark or hot dog or whatever. I guess that was part of the joke, that the supernatural element was so pointless, so I am sorry if I did not get it. I would suggest you put in some more punchlines and some more interesting conversation.

[The Heart and the Hand p2]

You are welcome

I knew that was Rina-chan doing Annie's voice! Anyway, I really liked how this was simply one of the cutest things I had ever seen. What matters is that it worked really well as a slice of life story. I have not seen the first one so it is a little difficult to understand exactly what is going on, but it is still great. For its length, it never lets up at all and it have much dialogue but still manages to set character development for its characters. The animation was flawless, especially the use of crayon coloring in some sequences.

Bobert-Rob responds:

Well, you don't actually need to have watched the first part, as that's included in this. The first, like, five minutes of this actually is part 1. I included it because I wanted people to be able to see the entire animation as it was meant to be seen. I'm glad you enjoyed it though, man!

[WH40K: SpaceHulk]

Lucky day

This was one lucky day to submit flash as nearly every award winner got a very high rating! I kept hearing about "Warhammer 40K" on the Internet, but knew little about it. It is interesting to be familiar with the series, even if it's just in the form of a parody. This had a lot of good moments, especially with how the happy ending came so abruptly (there should be more of those!). the animation and character designs were really nice too. It is interesting to learn more about a popular game series.

[Blinklife: Enjoy Flights]

More funny stuff!

It is interesting to see what will develop in these usually silent cartoons (in terms of the characters). It seems like every cartoon is automatically being played over. I thought the funniest part was when they talked about getting into the black box. I never noticed that about stewardesses, but it certainly makes sense. The blue color was everywhere, but it still made way for some good animation like when everyone was pressing their faces against the windows. It helps that it is simply overall funny.

[Super Smash]

Nice and dark

This was a great flash cartoon, although I admit I was a little mad how it had the title "Super Smash" when it had nothing to do with "Super Smash Bros". At least it was great to see the characters in such an awesome style. I really liked how the characters moved so gracefully and everything. There have been so many things done with the Mario characters, it seems impossible to find original stuff for them, but you did it! I thought it was especially funny how Mario just tossed the princess away. I also like the Toad character.

[SSJ Bardock VS Cooler]

It's an okay test

I do not know if you have read the rules, but it's considered common courtesy to not just put in tests here. Of course, I made something with a much lower score, so I am not one to talk. These do seem to be pretty interesting designs! I don't think I have ever heard of anyone use a SSj Bardock before! You managed to mash up some really cool characters together in this at least. It just needs a background and some music, but then again it is just a test.

alafraga responds:

Thank you!
SSJ bardock is not real! It is awesome to animate with a fake character. Thanks for putting up the PROS and not the CONS.
That is all i want.
Not saying I want to know if it is awesome and epic, you know what i mean.

[Spider Powers 2]

Very nice

I really liked the references to the previous installment, even though it was not a direct sequel. The animation was good and it was nice how it ended with everyone crying to wrap things up.

I do have some bad news for you. There's a comic strip called "Pearls Before Swine" that had a comic strip ending in a punchline where a character was talking to letters of the alphabet. The letter "x" was very mean, and it was hard to talk to his "x". I am sorry someone else beat you to this joke first.

just2pale responds:

Ahh well may not be the most original idea - but I hope you enjoyed it just the same.

[ENDERTRON]

Frigging brilliant

I just loved watching this, simply because I did not know what was going to happen. I thought that it might be a joke flash at first as it seemed to have pretty boring source material. It really puts into perspective how much soap operas have fallen since the 1970's. It is simply great that somebody would try to put a great action twist on the genre. Sure, it looks a little cheesy, but what matters is that you put a lot of heart into it. I had seen so many biographies of these characters on Wikipedia, it was great to have them be at least acknowledged.

[DBZ: Piccolo's Problem]

Now that's comedy

I watched "Dragonball Z" as much as the next guy, and this sort of thing did occur to me. Piccolo merged with Nail and later Kami, but the series just seemed to forget about it. What are those guys thinking the whole time they are in his body and why was this never addressed? Did they die when Piccolo died the second time perhaps (the series was soon to be over anyway)? While it had a simple design, it really delivers what it is supposed to. I am just glad somebody thought of something as obvious as this.
