BenwaHakubi's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Windy]

I think this is a pretty solid start. It's a simple animation but it's got good composition and sound. I think it could be improved by adding more color and making it tell more of a short story. I'm sure you could fill a few minutes if you pushed the shape shifting aspect a little more. Just some ideas.

sleepFacingWest responds:

Thanks for the review! I agree...I think if aspects of the drawing continued morphing into other shapes it could really go somewhere. To be honest, I actually ran out of ideas. I guess this is where storyboarding comes in, huh?

As for color, my eye is always drawn to monochromatic designs (as evidenced by both my avatar and various websites). I think jumping into actually using colors is something I should look into, but would need to actually read a bit about color theory first. It's another thing to look into!

[First animation - Punch]

Its not ready for newgrounds. I think if you added a full fight scene and mabey some dialogue so we know why these dudes are fighting you could make something pretty interesting.

DeXeS responds:

i am planning that, and i dont know english so i dont think i dialogue will be a good i dea.. (when i say dont know english i mean its not my language so i my english is pretty lacking)

[Short Stickfight]

I'm not a very big fan of stick fights but I gotta hand it to you. This was well choreographed and the end was funny.

KodexAnimations responds:

thanks

[Drugs, drugs, drugs!]

I have seen homeless ppl do that lol.

I have to say this flash is too funny, I think the voices were hilarious. Especially the homeless guy because he sounds just like the homeless crazies on the bus (gotta love city life huh?) Its even more funny because if the fact that if this were the PSA in real life it might actually keep kids from doing drugs. If kids only new lol.

BillyNapalm responds:

Damn kids and their music. Glad you enjoyed it!

[Vegeta Explosion (test)]

Left me hangin.

What exactly is the point of this? where is it going? It leaves much to be desired. Be patient and wait to finish a story or something with a plot or game.

snowstorm56 responds:

it was a test as it said in the title no sotry, or game just a test flash for people to see well an effects test

[Pokemon: Fated Encounter]

Amazing

Finally something hand drawn. This is how newgrounds is meant to be. I think this is better than the real pokemon show because the fact you can se the action instead of just some swirly lines and stuff. I felt the music was very fitting. Good job.

Tyrant-D responds:

Hey thanks you ^_^

[[KK] RIP Billy Mays]

More effort needed

I did not care for this. The art was poor. There was little effort in the audio. I understand you are making a tribute but, you need to put a little more effort in. The intro was good so why not keep that kind of effort going?

m0arkittehkrew responds:

Go Eat Shit :D

[Crack for Sale Episode 5]

Random!

I liked this one alot even though it was kinda strange. It is not the best flash ever but it made me laugh. I especially liked the part with Canada :D Its defanately worth a look for its sheer randomness!

sodahawk responds:

Once when I was all high out of my mind I drew a huge comic in this guy's high school yearbook with a sharpie. In this cartoon I tried to recapture the essence of that comic.

[Originality...]

Congrats, you made me laugh.

It's short, kinda tacky but it made me laugh. Yeah the graphics aren't so great and it seems kinda poorly done but it is pretty funny and reminds me of explosom.

Father-of-Death responds:

:3

I love you.

[Sonic Shorts: Volume 8]

It was ok

But kind of pointless. It doesn't really do much, I suggest a plot or make it a game. It's good animation and good graphics but it doesn't really do anything but run in a circle. Sonic looks too creepy with the eyes like that though.

Kyaztro responds:

Sawniks one goofy dude
