[[CD11] You Know the Drill]

I know it!

I couldn't quite make out the text that appeared in this, but I could get the joke. I have to admit that it is a pretty flashy design for Clock Day. What's also weird is how we really didn't seem to do that well with Clock Day this year. The Daily Feature winner this year had a score of like 3.95! It's great to know there are still people who use this day to put all their 5s out. That really is quite a nicely drawn drill you have there.

My biggest complaint is that it does seem to go on too long at the end. Well, that was obviously the point of it. I think this probably did fit under the "Informative" genre than any other that I can think of. I am actually not specifically familiar with that drill. Hopefully, it will be better on next year's Clock Day.

Little-Renastair responds:

You know the drill

[Harder, Tiffany, Harder!!]

That was random

I have to give you credit for creating a cartoon where you have no freaking clue what's going to happen next. It's mostly because you don't even know what's going on right now! The best thing is probably when the man is revealed to have the body of a horse! It was easily the most insane and surreal part. It's hard to even call this funny, it was just so ridiculous, it's hard to say anything about it. It still was a great thing to watch.

I wasn't expecting it to make sense, but I'm glad it was cleared up that that never happened. And to think this character was scary enough without knowing he had breasts. The animation is fantastic in this and everything moves so wonderfully. This really emphasizes bright colors. I always look for that stuff in flashes.

Sexual-Lobster responds:

thanks, ericho!

[Desktop Stripper]

Now that's different!

Wow, this was neat because I had no idea what was going to happen next. The scary thing is that it actually did get kind of scary at the end. This is what happens when you have sex with a desktop icon. It was weird how it really did seem to get serious at the end with the music and the creepy spam. For the majority, it was just the usual wacky stuff. As always, the animation is great, especially how these characters move their lips.

It's funny how she appears as a stripper at first and then wears normal clothes. Your cheesy female voices are as funny as ever. You truly manage to make that final scene effective by showing parts of them being hanged. I thought you were going to make something goofier out of it. It actually ended on a rather serious note!

LazyMuffin responds:

I made this so people treat their desktop strippers better.
Thanks

[MLP: Rarity bath time]

Great!

I am generally not a person who is for simple moving pictures, but this is an exception! I think this may in fact be the best piece of MLP fanart I've ever seen! Of course, by "best", I mean the kind that comes to the closest to looking like the TV show looks. I love how some of the other pony characters appear in this. This is just what makes the show so awesome with its animation! I do kind of think this should go more in the Art Portal.

I love how you have a really soft melody to soothe the viewer as they are watching this great piece. A full fledged cartoon would be perfect. It's even great to see the drops of water on the ground! It's great to be introduced to someone so talented. This is pretty much everything that made MLPFIM so popular.

tiarawhy responds:

I didn't know we had an art portal, thanks!

[Halloween Treat]

Pretty funny

I am certainly ready for Halloween coming up! This was a funny cartoon because of the different ways he insulted the kids. At least the other kids managed to get a big candy bar to go along with their insults! The funniest part was probably when he called the girl dressed as a princess a whore. I guess any Halloween costume for girls would come off as liking like that. I especially love how ridiculous these characters looked.

Hey, that kid was a cloud, he was just a fat cloud! It could have been a bit longer, but it still got the jokes across well. I guess I was just expecting some more jokes, but this certainly worked for what it had. The voices are nice and they seem suit the characters well. I guess this was not just a treat for the kids, but a treat for us with this flash.

funymony responds:

Next year I'll submit something waaaay better. :D

[King David Demo 2011]

Quite decent

It was interesting to see how far you have come with your animations. Demo reels have always been a favorite of mine. It's all the work you have done in the past year in a nutshell. I think my favorite bit here would probably be the one where the guy turns into Slash. The drawings of the human body were great too. I can only judge by the animation as there is no audio other than the music. My problem is that it does kind of remind me of "Go! Animate!".

I am so good no talented person here uses that stupid thing. Of course, you are still doing a decent job especially with the facial expressions. I hope you continue to make submissions that get highly rated. What better way to work in a class than by doing flash? It makes me wish I had taken a class like this at one point.

ToonCastleTV responds:

Thanks man, yup I goto digital animation school and am working up for kingdavid demo 2012 allready haha! Thanks for the review - big things comming soon!

[Resident Evil Code: Pwanchi Pt 2]

One of the best!

All these voice actors and no mention of Rina-chan? In case anyone is wondering, this goes on for about fourteen minutes. This is easily the funniest in the series, because there is just great joke after great joke. The funniest part was probably when Chris and the other guy were asking questions to each other so quickly. My only disappointment was that there was not more zombie action. It still serves its purpose well of being a parody.

The artwork is great in this, particularly with how shiny the characters look. I'm guessing it's shading, but it comes off as rather interesting. It's so great you got a different voice actor for every person because these people are talented. It's nice to know Joseph Blanchette is doing more stuff now. I can't wait for the next part when Wesker and the other guy meet up.

cyotecody555 responds:

Well Kira's (Rina-chan) role for Jill in this only a cameo :P
Otherwise she'd be part of the main cast with the others ;)

Glad you liked it!

[Contra Rampage]

Woah, good

This is a great cartoon because it takes pride in how stupid it is. When I first looked at it, the animation looked pretty bad. I now realize that it was obviously the point to be extremely ridiculous and nonsensical. I just love seeing these idiots go around with these insane body movements. The animation is great because of how there's just so many things flying around and stuff. The coolest part was probably with the peanut butter gun.

The voices are also great because they're just as insane as the rest of the cartoon. You have a talent for crazy voices. These enemies are just so easy to kill with one being clumsily ripped in half. It just looks like there's crazy stuff going everywhere in every direction that you can't keep track of! You don't need to, because this is hilarious!

kalabor106 responds:

I'm surprised you seen the peanut butter gun mag, hehehe. This was a crazy cartoon. Thanks for taking the time to watch and and give it a full review.

[Spooky Halloween Song]

Fun for something short

Congradulations on having your cartoon be the preview image for the Halloween 2011 collection! This was pretty good because the animation was nice. The best part was when you mentioned how you could watch TV, and then showed a TV watch. I imagine we'll have those eventually. It's funny how you have such a silly voice in this and at the same time it sounds kind of tired. It could be longer, but overall it's a decent effort.

It's probably the submission I've seen that has had the most to do with Halloween. Stuff about zombies, vampires, etc. isn't necessairly about Halloween. I wonder if the "Twilight" people would get more publicity if they released their movies on Halloween? I hope you have a good one this year. Candy corn is one of my favorite kinds of candy, so it was great to see so many of it.

Bill responds:

Hahaha thank you for the great review!

[SNAPSHOT: Vol 1]

It gets better

This cartoon doesn't start out that strongly, but it does get a lot better. Let me say that the thing he did with the gun was one of the coolest things I have seen in awhile. You probably should brush up on animation skills. It's just that it does look a bit dated. I still have to recommend this because it truly does have a lot of original ideas that are performed well. I'm not familiar with this character, so I had no idea he was going to be that cool.

When he shot the last guy I couldn't help but say, "Goodbye" out loud. It's going to get even more interesting with the giant robot appearing. It's great having no idea where this series is going. It's the highest rated thing on the portal now, so I see it going places. The music was also good and set up the nice action tone.

QuasimodoxArt responds:

Thanks for the detailed review.

The character is basically the same guy from my last animation "SNAP SHOT" on NewGrounds, but I modified his appearance just a little since there were a lot of people think he looks like the main character from a famous anime master piece... (I personally don't see the resemblance though... ) Anyway, more plot will be revealed in the next episode... To be continued! :)
