[Quest of the Manwhore]

The Kiss of Yogurt on My Tongue

The artwork and animation are still quite superb. However the music is where this video should most certainly be judged on. "Dance of the Manwhore" I saw a stalker's appeal to it. This time around I still see that stalker quality to it, but at the same time it seems like Fernando's ego is out there more. One thing that makes this one different are of course the lyrics and visuals. Although the visuals aren't as memorable as "Dance of the Manwhore" I don't believe they're supposed to. However the lyrics are better than that of the "Dance of the Manwhore." Overall I'm not sure if this is a review, but I liked it.

[The Nature Song]

Love To Sing Along

The artwork is great, capturing the cartoony side to a singing enchanted forest is outstanding. The animation is simply masterful, everything just moved so well and the lip sync was perfect. It moved very slowly like a waltz and only built from there becoming more and more. The song itself is truly amazing and requires no back-up sound effects in other words acapella was the perfect choice for this and remixing it with an orchestra would ruin it it is sheer perfection. Also it was hilarious! I will add that I saw this on the Newgrounds Broadcast and I intend on sharing this with peeps for Earth Day, it was just amazing, certainly a new favorite for me.

What a lovely review. Thanks ever so much.

Glad you liked it.

I wasn't aware of this Newgrounds live until you and DiMono mentioned it. It's nice to be featured.

Never Cease To Amaze Me

James, you never cease to amaze me with your skills. The artwork and animation are breathtaking and brilliant, you've done a wonderful job capturing this world. However at the same time that is where I'm at a stand still as well. What world is this? From what I can guess it's Heaven and someone won't take the apple so he is purged? The story is just not making much sense, I guess this guy has turmoils, but I have no clue what's going on. The sound and music were superb, which is wonderful and all, but I was expecting more from Hania than what we got. Overall this is still good and a sequel or better yet a prequel would help fill in the gaps, but for now if this is all we got then it's pretty for the eyes but not captivating enough for the minds.

*Story - What Was Going On?

[Mario Battle Bros. ep. 2]

Short, Cliche, and Confusing

Well your animation has improved a little since your previous episode, the sound is still good, but still not much going on. The characters are still bigger than their background settings and the music choice was superb and worked well here. My only real problem now is the story. We have Starlow come in, use his power and the Peach's wish power to get rid of Bowser after Luigi kills another Bowser. It sounds interesting, but the way you used Peach to get rid of the second Bowser was just confusing and cliche, practically a cop out. I still want to see more from this, but it needs to be improved from the text boxes to the animation. Once those are improved you should be on a roll.

[Begining]

The Beginning of The End

First off I would like to say you misspelled beginning. The first thing I want to comment on is the artwork and animation which is actually great for just three hours of work, but like three hours of work it still shows. The sound, was good, but there really wasn't a lot of sound here. The music choice at the beginning was superb as well as picking the flower, but the other song chosen just threw this animation off, which I guess is the purpose for it, but you probably could've found something a bit more suitable. The story of this flash is truly an interesting one and one I would like to see more of since it is "To Be Continued." It is supposed to be sad and you did hit the nail on the head with the flower scene, picking a flower and killing it just for our own happiness sets a pretty dark tone. Overall this is certainly a strange surreal flash movie you've shown me today and I for one enjoyed it and want to see more.

[Mario Battle Bros. ep. 1]

A Concept That Borrows From Your Neighbor

After watching this flash from beginning to end it is easy to tell that you gained inspiration from Alvin-Earthworm's Super Mario Bros. Z series and/or another variant of similar to his creation. There is nothing wrong with inspiration, but this seems to a bit too similar. The story alone is an interesting concept though, but a bit too cliche even for the world of Mario, also there were some grammatical errors in your text boxes with "too" needing to be "two." The backgrounds and characters don't match up from time to time in other words the characters are bigger than the land they are on. The animation is good, each character moves well, but it is a bit sloppy here and there. The sound was great, but nothing too spectacular. The music choices were great however the music would cut off from time to time and that got a little annoying. Also the text boxes go by too fast, it would be easier if people could advance the story themselves, and the text in the text boxes was a bit difficult to read. Overall I'd say this is average to say the least, but these are just minor problems that can be easily adjusted and worked with so you're off to a good start.

[Dance of the Manwhore]

I Must Eat Yogurt Off Of You

I should first start with the music, case in point, the song. Dear lord what the fuck just happened. It was like an awkward seduction that I didn't quite understand, but at the same time enjoyed. I will admit though the part of the father never loving him was a bit weird and it just seems distracting. The artwork is superb with it's surreal images and sexual endeavor coming at you and it all flows so well that combined with the lyrics and beat of the song makes for the trip into the deepest part of your sexual desire. It's like a stalker made a music video for you, which is flattering, but creepy. Overall this was quite comical while at the same time just bizarre which if you know me I thrive off of the bizarre works of artists.

thanks, i like your stalker take on it that's an interesting way of looking at it.

[Dusk of the Madness]

A Never Ending Story

The artwork was superb as always, representing each Madness character beautifully. The animation this time around was nothing short of masterful, everything just flowed so smoothly from the bullets to the characters to even the simplicity of opening a door, it all ran perfectly. Your music choices were yet again masterful, setting that Madness vibe during the action scenes while setting a wonderful tone with the other scenes. The story is also quite masterful as well, although I didn't care for the ending I don't think there was any other way you could've ended it, truth be told you can still keep this story going if you wish, but sad to say this is the end is it not? Overall this has been a wonderful series spanning three years, three Madness Day celebrations. The only question now is what do you have planned for next year?

[Madness Assassination]

Bullets To The Brains?

Well the artwork and animation are quite superb to be honest. The music fits exceptionally well the first half is that traditional Madness vibe with and leaves your heart racing the second half leaves this bewildered confused feeling. In which I come to the story and that's where it got a little confusing especially the ending. Although weird the flash was still good.

[Clown Of Judgement]

Clown Attack

Your artwork is quite superb for the depiction of Madness characters, when this flash first started I didn't think I was in a world of Madness. The animation is superb as well and matches the artwork well, however this suffers a bit because most of the killing done by the clown is cut out anime style with just showing the slices and nothing more which is a real shame. The music seemed a bit generic for a Madness flash, it fit don't get me wrong, but that's all it really did was just fit, it didn't leave much of an impact and it was certainly not a theme meant for the clown. Also the story is superb as well, pretty much showing the clown in yet another psychotic rampage. Overall though this is an enjoyable Madness flash.
