VelvetDarkRocks's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Cat Face ep.11]

Quaint.

That was random. Charming characters, quaint humour, adorable accents. What could be a very entertaining series, although the storyline is shallow but sweet.

[Madness Combat 5.5]

Another classic Madness.

With two protagonists there's twice as much action on screen at any one time, so while shorter than the other episodes, it needs to be watched at least twice.

I think what makes the Madness series so freaking awesome is that the protagonists are so good at what they do. They never stop moving, never hesitate, and when you combine their voracity with their sheer strength (like when Hank wields a two-handed axe in his left hand), reflexes, acrobatics and insane accuracy, you have a near unstoppable force which tempts death at every corner. And they continue to survive despite the odds due to their ingenuity and adaptability. Makes me wish I was that awesome.

A very solid addition to the series, which is continuing to grow on me. Although I once thought The Clown was over-hyped, he's actually an important character to the storyline and is much better appreciated by me. As with the other several hundred thousand viewers, I'm looking forward to more.

[Unforgotten Realms: Epi 8]

Nice.

Preloader! Nice. Although I do deplore the lack of a menu and scene selection. Good to see the intro was back.

Your animation skills have insanely improved. Or, otherwise, you've just revealed a snapshot of your true talent.

Spoiler warning on Twilight Princess please! I'm glad you too are a fan of Zelda! Koji's got some great works out there. Jacque's song on the flute sounds like an Ocarina piece, but it's not familiar (though it's very Zeldan)... Where did it come from?

Excellent as always, though perhaps splitting this movie in half would have made it easier to watch. Great job though, entertaining as ever!

[An Unforgotten Christmas]

Ahh Christmas.

What a beautiful side quest with a wonderfully voiced guest actress. Amusing as always, though I don't recall seeing the Hand of God. An epic list of rare items though, seriously. Great job (Y)

[Unforgotten Realms: Epi7]

Fantastic as always!

Another fantastic episode. A new animation style is quite an upgrade, and at first I didn't like it because it made the episode look too neat. The scrappiness of the animation goes hand in hand with the slightly poor quality voice acting, a trait of the series that doesn't take itself too seriously.

Excellent references used here. WoW seemed to be the main influence for the dungeon party.

Also excellent work with the new intro- it really was impressive!

All round an excellent episode with fantastic jokes, some original some not so much. Lengthy and hilarious, as all good times should be.

Do you do all the voice acting yourself?

[Cuboy Ep.1]

Oh dear!

Such a loveable character. The simple humours of wordplay are remarkably well-used. Characters so well designed and innovative, not to mention named. Thoroughly enjoyable! I love the ingenuity and the small things that make this film a collective work of art.

[|~Hug Me To The Skies~|]

...

I find words hard to describe the mixture of emotions I'm feeling. There aren't nearly enough romantic flash movies out there and I think this may be one of the most awesome. Wonderful music, dedication to animation and graphics, a sweet (if just slightly confusing storyline), a million easter eggs and tiny details (like the apple hot air balloon) and a purity of love that just leaves the viewer feeling elated. Thank you so much for the gift of this animation. It's one of my favourites.

[The Matrix Still Has You]

Excellent!

Making some very good jokes and puns on the weaknesses of the movies. The Subway was my favourite because it so concisely got the character of Smith with a dozen words. All of them brilliant, though I wasn't much for the Seige, in either animation or voice/music. Joanime's always a pleasure to see. All up... Lovely.

I especially love the menu screen and the character profiles. Always good to know the animators a little better. I notice Joanime appears to be wearing what appears to be a rash of bacon. Very cool character art for those as well :)

All up, good with a few laughs but not as good on the whole as many other movies.

[Life with Navi]

Nice.

There are indeed a lot of Navi-bashing jokes out there. Although because she was green it did somewhat indicate a worthwhile secret.. so I think it was pretty reasonable of her on this account.

Always a pleasure to see Link and co.

[Arrogancy: Episode One]

Excellent.

Your certainly did come a far way in two years. This is, doubtlessly, the best of the series. It was awesome how Genryu made an appearance.
I'm just impressed that you've done both the animation and the music for the series so far, though the sound track for Episode One seems to be lacking somewhat.
The voices are finally as awesome as they were meant to be, the animation taking some definite steps up too.

It's been six years.. I wonder where things were heading? Or if they'll ever head again.

Arrogancy. Now there's an inheretence.
