[Madness: BLACK BERSERK EP1 - Pilot]

Wasn't expecting it to say "ON MARS" at first. No one dies until six minutes in. I admit this was too talky. It's probably the talkiest Madness cartoon ever made. Whatever, it was still great. Just could have used more kills.

I believe the body count was 43. Damn, that's a lot of songs used. Makes sense for something so long. We are much used to longer flashes by now. I can't believe how many beloved cartoons we made this year. It was just incredible!

[PROJECT: Felony]

Damn, are you guys trying to drive me nuts with all these amazing Madness flashes? This deserves its award! Anyway, this is yet another fantastic cartoon for Madness Day 2020. This might be the best year yet! I was trying to count the deaths. I just lost it when all those guys died at once.

Color is so amazing here! I can't believe how bright this bleak looking series can seem. You could just go back and watch all the stuff you missed the first time. Well, maybe not so much miss. Just stuff that you forgot was there. You guys put so much effort into these.

[Madness : Dead Letter Day]

This really was an agent lighting a cigarette. Should've made that the title! I'm glad it had some action. It really did have some original animation. I do wish there was more action. Still, it does offer quite a unique experience.

Every day has death in this world. Great for a short. The body count wasn't high enough for me to really care. This series is so good with counting! Happy Madness Day forever!

[JAILBREAK: Fall of Helios - TEASER TRAILER]

Aww, I feel bad for all you guys. There were so many great Madness cartoons this year, they couldn't all win awards! I'm sure you're all at least happy for the high score. I expected the whole cartoon to be like the thumbnail. Two minutes is actually pretty long for a trailer. The designs aren't bad.

I remember the hot dog guy. He actually survives the series, I think. I know that character breaking out of jail. With all the Madness cartoons, it's hard to keep track of everyone. Great title too.

JollyBag responds:

Don't worry! We didn't expect an award, really, specially since this is merely a trailer of the full project we're working on. And yeah, two mins was kinda long, but we wanted to show stuff, and we had already done the OST for this trailer haha.
This isn't exactly the same hot dog guy from the series, since this is a different universe where things are happening, however I like to think that this guy is the equivalent to said character. His name is Harold btw <3 thanks for the nice words, mate!

[Madness Combat Anime Opening]

I admit that at first I was disappointed that it didn't seem to show any anime like characters. I was so surprised! It did look uncanny, but it was still great. I knew I was in for something awesome. Glad you included the original designs as well. It's hard to show details in these characters.

I mean, they literally have no faces! I feel bad for not being a fan of "Jojo's Bizarre Adventure". I didn't even know it was that popular on the Internet! Whatever, this is still amazing. Certainly an instant classic. You can do practically anything with Madness. Wonderful to know it's still around.

TarKade responds:

Now that's the moment when even Madness Combat became a JoJo reference.
We live in a bizarre times clearly.

[LizGoesForAWalk (MD20)]

Happy Madness Day 2020! I don't see what this had to do with a walk. Whatever, it was awesome. I really liked the design of the protagonist too. The colors were awesome as well. Was not expecting Dobby at the end.

My mom's named Liz! She wouldn't want to kill people. It really didn't seem rushed. I mean, we're used to fast paced stuff here. Production can go that way well too.

[Cup of Coffee (MD2020)]

I was truly impressed by this! I didn't think you'd accomplish much in such a short running time. Anything's possible! The animation was truly unique! I'm glad you thanked Xionico too. More people are becoming well known for Madness cartoons in their own right.

I was so impressed how he didn't have to use weapons at first. I'm still glad he did. The casual ending was great too. The body frames were so unique. I guess those agents are always evil. Well, hard to tell who's truly good in these cartoons.

[Madness Redeemer 2: Revenger]

That was great, but it could have been better. It's mostly because it seems pointless to make a sequel to "Madness Redeemer". There already is one! Still, it's very nice. It was cool to see the Sheriff in action. Wow, that character really was in action.

I believe the body count was 65. Yeah, I'm trying to count more. Hard to keep up with all the Madness cartoons now. I am so glad this series is still around. There was a lot of text and you can pause it for yourself to read.

Lelokayl responds:

yeah, first one goes "wann anal sex?" and everyone do it, this is kinda pain in the ass u kno

[Dusk of the Madness: OVERTIME]

Wow, what a freaking high score! I thought I had seen all the great submissions for Madness Day 2020 on the day of it! I believe the body count was 61. I often try to count those things. I knew it would get more action later on. You really did want character development.

A plot was important too. I'm so glad I remember this story! Well, I remember the ending at least. I'm still probably going to say "Deimos Is Dead" was my favorite submission. It takes so much skill to make a long cartoon as well.

LittleLuckyLink responds:

I counted 81, but admittedly fell short towards the end. Thank you!

[ANAKIN Chp 6: Go Pod Racer Go!]

This really should have a higher rating. Okay, maybe some of the gags weren't that original. You even say "CLICHE!" at one point. I liked the jokes with the queen. They should put up an article for "Anti-Phantom Menace humor" somewhere. Maybe "Anti-Star Wars Prequels" humor.

It was pretty bold of you to submit this the same time as Madness Day. It should still be recognized. I like your goofy animation style. You've come a long way. Liked the cameos too.

squeakytoad responds:

Thanks for another thorough review!
I usually just submit these without thinking about the day since my Star Wars parodies don't make the front page anyway. The fans will still get alerted thanks to the awesome notification system Tom and team set up. :)
