[[Castle Crashers OVA] Orange Knight ni Aimasho]

I admit to being biased with this. My birthday is tomorrow. I associate with Orange Knight because of that. It's also because orange is my favorite color! This is just an adorable little cartoon. That makes me a Gemini as well.

I feel bad for knowing my astrological sign, but not my blood type. A pity most people don't. Anyway, it was great to see this style again. It has kind of been awhile. It's so adorable.

[Golden Buzzer]

My favorite character was probably the green guy. He had the best animation on him. I'm glad he liked the original performance. I thought the whole thing would just be showing us the head attacking people. I guess it didn't need to be. These guys remind me of Beavis and Butt-Head.

It was like Wingus had Mickey Mouse ears. Dingus was weird with just one thing that looked like a round ear. This was a good length. The golden buzzer kind of looked like a doorknob. The pacing was very good in this.

[Wn'M #3 – Cooking Catastrophe]

I thought the salad was going to explode. My favorite part was when the fish did explode. I knew this would be an epic fail. I'm starting to like this cat character. Bacon is always awesome. The colors were so nice too. This format made it seem like a TikTok video.

I hate it when people make things like TikTok. The format actually does work here well. I like the sound effects when she's just moving. The little things make it work. Thanks for an enjoyable little cartoon.

[Gildedguy: Automatica]

This was perfect! I'm surprised it didn't win Daily Feature. I thought it was going to end 5 minutes in, because it seems like we got a credit. I appreciated this gorgeous animation. It gives so much personality to the characters. Everything was constantly moving around.

It goes beyond a stick figure animation. Well, it seems like the characters might be too thick to be a stick animation anyways. It gives real depth to everyone and everything. Every detail gets to shine here. This is truly a character with personality. My favorite part might have been when one guy reformed with the goo coming back to resurrect him.

[PAPYRUS SAYS CHICKEN JOCKEY - Undertale x Minecraft Animation]

This was beautifully animated. I love how authentic this is to the film experience. Minecrap? Sounds like a parody title from "Honest Trailers" or maybe Mad Magazine. I didn't quite get the joke at the end. It was nice to see the audience get in on it.

I heard about kids that did this all the time in theaters. I'm glad to say I was not near any children or in a big theater. The movie itself was just okay. It was certainly more of a kid's movie. I want people to enjoy it however they can.

[A Metroid Prime Movie]

Wait, was this actually part of the GameCube collab? You'd think I'd remember something so recently! Anyway, it was funny to see this fat design for Samus. I didn't think you could make suits look fat. It was surprisingly cartoonish. I thought it would be something serious from the title.

I'm just so used to seeing Samus hot, as she's my pick for hottest video game character. I remember how critically acclaimed "Metroid Prime" was. My favorite part might have been when the screw was flying around. I liked when it hit Ridley. While not one of the best parts, still good.

[MONKEY BALLZ]

I initially thought the title was a reference to "Dragonball Z". Instead, I think it was just saying Monkey Balls with the Z replacing the S. Hmm, how has no one made that joke before? DBZ is just like Dragonballs. Anyway, this had a lot of ball jokes. Those were just fine.

I'm not that familiar with "Super Monkey Ball". You certainly didn't need to be here. You just needed to know ball puns. What odd product placement for Dole bananas. Aww, so this was intended for the Gamecube Collab.

[Pico vs Wall | Pico Day 2025]

Wow, that was surprisingly heartwarming. I thought Pico was going to beat up that guy for ruining the shot. Instead, it ended on a rather sweet note. That wasn't expected from a cartoon about shooting. It is late for Pico Day. Still, holidays can always be late.

The animation was fine, just not that good. I admire the effort put into representing the characters. We've grown rather fond of them. It was a pretty cute little cartoon. Once again, cute is not something I'd associate Pico with.

Zloler56 responds:

Appreciate your comment! I’m glad you pointed out the heartfelt character interactions that I intentionally made to make the Pico Day celebration more positive.
And yeah, I can agree that in some parts the animation wasn’t that good, but at least I had fun doing it, rewatching and see reviews to know what I can improve in the future.

[Cracker and Chip | ep 3 | Assault and Pressure]

Wow, this is Knox's first submission here in 16 years! I can't believe this! It's wonderful that you're still alive dude! Anyway, this wasn't good for me. It was mostly just too long. It did get better near the end.

My favorite part was when Cracker threw the chair at him. I kept wondering if the numbers on their uniforms had some hidden meaning. I know a 69 meant something. The animation just wasn't very good. It was cool to have that live-action scene in there though.

microwavedmedia responds:

Thanks for the response! Yeah animations not great but I'm still learning!
And the uniform numbers were mostly inside jokes which will probably be explained on the Cracker and Chip Tv.tropes page soon.

[Doom the Dark Ages Official Collab Animation Compilation]

Dang, that might be the longest title I've ever seen! It's a shame I can't see it all. It's "Doom the Dark Ages Official Collab Animation Co...". Is that last word collab? I knew it was like "Doom". It seemed like it was a He-Man cartoon.

The demons kind of looked like Skeletor. I don't see that much claymation effects here. It's nice for a change of pace. It seemed like just one person for a collab. Whatever, it was good with lots of action.

Crisppyboat responds:

"Collab" refers to the fact that this was promotional art I made for the new doom game, sorry for the confusion!
