[BoaF: Character Turns]

A "Next Character" button would have been nice!

Not really a lot I can say about this movie. Not really much of a movie- just a sort of character profile. I'm glad I watched Birds of a Feather before I watched this, otherwise I would have given away the story! However, that is sensationally beautiful music, -some of it hinted as something mischievous- that's a nice touch. Some of it was serene and placid- truly wonderful. Some of it was a bit eastern and pentatonic- not sure what that might have suggested. Reminding me of Loz Windwaker's "Forest Haven" music. Anyway, there's not a lot else I can say, except adorable characters! Will you be publishing one for Pandora and her friend?

[Birds of a Feather]

Awww!

I am now a fan of your work. Pandora's Book was very different to this one. I recognised your style immediately and loved everything about your movie. Animation was beautiful and smooth, although I did have to reduce my quality for it to be so. Graphic intensive I guess, but detail is good! Even simple things like the hair were well done. You captured facial expressions most perfectly- in fact, I don't recall the last time I've seen any sort of expression so defined on flash. Music was minimalistic- nice touch- and felicitous. Witty, cute, hugely adorable, this movie is perfect as it is. I'd be amazed if someone could find a way for you to improve your animations! There is, however, one problem I had with this movie. I felt as if the distinct English voices blurred the atmosphere a little- until I realised they were words, it was perfect. What curious people!

All round, I loved it tenderly. You certainly have a way with every day, yet heartwarming stories.

[NEW LIFE-Eng. subtittles]

Again, beautiful.

I recognised her as the girl out of Sounds of Thunder. The man who replaced her also looked like her boyfriend- probably the see-through glasses. Was the intentional?

I still can't figure out what language that is. The English songs added something to the movie. While the vernacular and common languages were different, the movie seemed to be made for the English-speaking world, or perhaps this movie was aimed at a different audience and the song was a cultural touch? Either way, it was an interesting blend.

It's so sad this movie didn't receive the popularity it should have. A beautiful tale that everyone can relate to. Everyone has a day where EVERYTHING goes wrong- Murphy's Law in action. However, few of us are so lucky to make the realisations the protagonist in this movie did. Rarer still can someone come along to give us a ride to a new life, but a very touching movie that I love very much.

[Metal Gear Crisis 1.2]

Nice!

I'm afraid Princess Aurora missed a few typos/grammar mistakes! Similar to the first Metal Gear Crisis, I thought it would have been a better idea to leave the subtitles out entirely so people would spend less time reading them and more time admiring your animation skills. Facial expression in particular was well done, although they did kinda lose their mouths half the time.

I am so, SO glad there was an ending movie after the credits. I mean without it, it was finished, but with it, it was complete. Thanks =)

Noticed a few references to the game, found the easter egg, not a lot to say. Awesome music, again, fair voice acting, nice animation. I especially appreciate the fight scenes and all that. My review's a bit all over the place, so all I can say is;

I need scissors 61.

[Metal Gear Crisis 1.1]

Oh, damn man.

You somehow kept Snake's awesome-ness and yet made it all funny. Kinda ruined MGS for me a bit though, but still made in good tastes... Ahh, well awesome music of course, wonderful voice acting, neat animations... Not really much I can say, although I miss his SOCOM.

[=Phoenix Wright Tribute=]

Nah, sorry mate.

Too much swearing, graphics were too poor, even as a parody. There was hardly any taste in this movie and I couldn't watch all of it. Mind you, the intro was the start of something great, until you spat all over it.

Tasteless, poor graphics, worse sound. I didn't even try to figure out what they were saying, although I noted the considerable amount of words starting with F. Not that I have anything against swearing, but you just abused it.

[MGS Ninja]

...

For some reason, I have to wonder how a movie this short made it into the portal. Don't get me wrong- it was good, but it was about ten seconds in length, and I disagree with the sound effect used to take down the first guard. A *shing* type sound would have been a lot better, and I felt their eyes were unnecessarily large. Nevertheless, it was pretty decent, if a bit short and without much of a story. Man, that ninja is the sweetest.

If you haven't played Metal Gear Solid, Twin Snakes on Gamecube yet, you should consider renting it out. All the fight scenes are extended/redone, and it's bloody kick-ass watching Ninja and Snake try to kill each other. Funnily enough I was playing MGS today =)

(Sorry for going off on a tangeant, but there really wasn't much to say about the animation)

[Another Day]

Whoa....

I have to say, I was expecting ah... well, something to happen. I mean, it was pretty straightforward. I basically agree with the last reviewer, although the animation did hurt my eyes a little after a while. Did everything have to move like that?

Still, I thought the fish and bed were cute, and the song was pretty nice. Not sure why you made the movie, but it started something great, I'm sure. Smooth animation, even if everything was wobbling!

[TSAH]

Whoaaaaaaaaa!

JOANIME WAS DOING VOICE ACTING! <3

Er... I mean, great! No seriously, for a collab this came out very well done. Some insanely hilarious scenes, and some very slow and uneventful scenes too. Nevertheless, a hilarious movie, great gags and overall a very nice production.

Commendable in all areas. I liked it very much!

[Mecha-Death: Pilot]

I think one word sums this up pretty nicely.

Sweet.
