[GACHIAKUTA FAN OPENING || ガチアクタ ファンの開口部]

I had never heard of Gachiakuta before. I was thinking it was just something you made up. Turns out I was half right. It's a real manga, but about to be an anime. No wonder I've never seen an opening for it! Anyway, this is amazing.

It's just nothing but pure action the whole way through. I don't know any characters obviously, but I can get the feel. It does seem like it was inspired by a lot of other anime. Maybe "Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann"? That's just used to describe anything awesome.

Zalay responds:

Thank you truly and fun fact! The creator loves Gurren Lagann!! I'm glad you enjoyed it fr and I heavily recommend giving it a read :)

[Jak Off]

Wait, this is going to be NSFW?! You could have submitted the whole thing here. I mean, we have plenty of porn here already. The best part was probably the animation. Everything just kept going on. That's hard for something only a minute long.

Well, maybe not. I don't know much about this series. Whatever it is, it looks awesome! This was just so well animated. I kind of missed Daxter.

Pokilewd responds:

thanks! :> I'll post the whole thing some day, daxter is at the end haha

[House MD's Big Day]

I have in fact seen "House". This is pretty authentic to the show. It reminds me of the last episode. The ending seemed to be a direct reference to that. I loved hearing that "Super Mario World" theme at the end. That's my favorite video game!

I still don't quite remember all the characters. Still a great show to watch. I guess maybe the designs could have been better. You rarely see "House" flashes here or anything non supernatural. That's some bad hat, Harry.

StaggerNight responds:

Thank you! I love your reviews

[Chrono Trigger 30th Anniversary]

Oh yeah, Akira Toriyama died! Everyone was praising "Dragonball Z", but people seemed to have forgotten he worked on "Chrono Trigger" too. It was wonderful to acknowledge him. He defined so many of our childhoods. Well, not as much with "Chrono Trigger". It was very authentic to the series.

I've seen lots of "Chrono Trigger" flash here. It was just a satisfying cartoon. You did a good amount of things in a short time. Yeah, it probably could have been longer. Dang, this was submitted at exactly 12 am!

Roskiart responds:

Well, to be honest I wanted to do something MUCH more elaborate and slightly longer myself, but I had to compromise out of not having enough time to do so. I'm fairly proud of what I managed given I did this in barely more than a week.

[Squidward's Suicide 2]

Well, this was certainly creative. I just had little idea as to what was going on. Spingebill looked like he had testicles under his nose. That must have been intentional. It wasn't really dark as just bizarre. The credits took up too much time.

I remember "Squidward's Suicide". The artwork really was nice. Squids don't have boobs or manboobs, whatever he had. This was certainly decent. It was just hard to get used to.

septicsebi responds:

Can you rate 5 stars?

[if the rain comes]

This was a pretty good little cartoon, again. This was on Liquid Television? I believe I've heard of that. It was interesting to see that fish at the end. I guess it made sense, given that it was about water. I like the lower case title.

He should have had both all of those things facing upward to gather more rain. Well, maybe that wasn't his intention. The animation in general was pretty nice. It's nice to have come by this.

TobyMoon responds:

Thanks! It wasn't on liquid television, but I added the tag as it's my main inspiration animation wise. I try to capture that kind of classic indie animation feel.

[FAT CAT!]

Aww, that was a rather nice little cartoon. It wasn't great for me, just good. The best part was probably how good the animation was. Cats can indeed get fat. I don't think a cat would eat that. I keep rhyming!

It's rather simplistic. This is to be expected of a short cartoon. Wow, it took awhile to get this frontpaged. At least people can see it now. The sounds are pretty good too.

Ash1car responds:

Appreciate the review! Glad you liked the animation :D
(And bonus points for the rhymes too!)

[Wanna touch...?]

Hmm, that was pretty heartwarming. I like how she's just like talking about her boobs. Weird for a robot to do that. This short, but pretty sweet. It was wholesome in a weird way. I don't think it's deserving of this high a score. It's pretty good.

It's nice to have something more down to Earth. Well, as down to Earth as robot girls can be. It's a pretty good concept. I just wish it was longer. It's still impressive when something so short gets Daily Feature.

ZedrinBot responds:

I honestly didn't expect it

[Shoot Star!]

You said you were so eager for me to watch the full music video, so I just had to review it! The first minute there wasn't even any music. Oh, I've seen music videos like that before. Anyway, this was a lot of fun, especially with how it reminded me of "Dragonball Z". It wasn't just the action. It was the animation.

It seemed very inspired by DBZ. It wasn't nearly as action-packed as it though. There were so many good parts, like the villain blasting off. Well, there was no twinkle in the sky. Still a very enjoyable cartoon.

Fewebomb responds:

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for checking it out :)

[Opportunity of the Cybermen]

This is probably the best "Doctor Who" flash I've seen here! We don't have many of those. We need more. The animation was amazing. This didn't even seem like that much of a parody. It looks more like a straight tribute.

I appreciated that. I didn't recognize the Doctor at first. It can be hard to keep up with all his/her appearances. The characters seem faithful to their canon counterparts. It's quite authentic.

HOwLiNG-MAdFoxHatter responds:

Tanks~ I am glad you enjoyed it : D

With all the parodies I animate I always try to make it feel as authentic to the source as possible, with some liberties taken for a personal flare. The main parody aspect comes from ribbing on the quirks, all in good fun of course~

Like as an example, unless it is a regeneration episode, most enemies in Doctor Who make the Stormtroopers of Star Wars look like crack shots xD Even at point blank they can miss the Doctor and the companions for the sake of the story
