Senilek's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Billie The Pooph II]

Wow, that was some.....trip. I feel like I went on a huge journey and now I'm back in my room, looking at a computer. Spoiled. Well done.
There were a lot of things that just made me wonder "why?", which is probably why this doesn't have as much attention. Just going by the animation (very original and a whole slew of styles too!) and the way you presented the story, I'm surprised this hasn't gotten more attention and buzz, no awards or recognition on the front page. Nothing. And of all places, Newgrounds...which is odd. I never thought something so crude as this could be TOO crude for the people of NG but it is...Maybe I'm just old, and I remember a day back 10 years ago when this would've gotten front page and accolades, just for being so random...Not so much now. Although, I will say- even I have a pretty twisted sense of humor so I liked MOST of this, much of it was insanely clever...but even I can tell there was some really fcked up things contained within this movie. That's my only theory of why its not very popular, people just can't get behind it, or it scares them.

Sajisan responds:

Thank You!

Your recognition feels very good for me and i don't know why everybody likes another "mindfucked" animation but if they want a short but very pure humor cartoon so i will do. These cartoons doesn't needs much artwork (just in places) and maybe shorter than 1 min but it has very very lot of simple humor what i think i can do too. Now these are the mainstream so i need to do these type for more attention like a whore. :D Anyway i don't want to do some game grumps/pewdiepie shit animation like nowadays going.

Like my facebook page for the news dude ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)

[Where is he!?]

This was actually funny for such a short gag, but was that 8 second intro really necessary? I was ready to stop watching the movie, I thought those 8 seconds were really tedious. It just bled into the running time of this movie, and took away from the punchline. next time, cut it down to a shorter intro or don't have one at all. But I would definately like to see more batman shorts. go

TheIYouMe responds:

Thanks!
I have an intro in front of most of my videos (this is my first one on NG, but I have a youtube channel). I could perhaps shorten it a bit, but I don't necessarily feel it's needed, since it's just 8 seconds after all.

[Valentine's Day Rejection]

i like the design of that pink faced guy in the hat, and the voice actor for him is really captivating. I hung onto every one of his words. You should make him a recurring character in the future! good work on this. It has a good message too, even if it seems a little weird or dark near the end. lol

zvch3 responds:

I'm super happy you enjoyed this and I think you might have a good idea with the creep being a recurring character ;)

[Elf]

Hey that was pretty cool. I liked the way you designed the battle, especially the first SWING from the baddy. Really timed well. The music sets the tempo of the fight and it has a nice natural flow. I felt every sword swing was meaningful and not just there for show (as most flashy battle scenes are) and the axe to the head was good, instead of through the heart or some stupid bleeding out shit. My only gripe is the final design of the characters, especially the Elf, he felt unrefined and could've done with a nice polish. I have to ask, was this based on Zelda? It feels like the hypothetical of what actually happened, before the story was blown up into a ridiculous legend!

Ghosty22 responds:

It wasn't really based on Zelda, I guess... However, when the first Zelda game came out, because everything was pixelated, and the sounds were very primitive, it left a lot to the imagination. Before any of the Zelda sequels came out, you had to imagine what the world would be like when un-pixelated. I kinda wanted to make an animation series about what I imagined the Zelda universe to be like, before the sequels fleshed it out with their own characterization and additions to that universe.

I didn't really want this main character to be that much like Link. I wanted to use my own, grittier character. Later incarnations of the Zelda series always seem a little too "cute" for me. I wanted to make a fantasy story that was gritty, weird, and mysterious. This is only this first episode, though. I don't have a lot of free time, but I will continue this as soon as I finish a few other things. I don't plan to parallel the Zelda universe at all. This should be the only episode that will resemble that game.

[Donkey Kong Goes Bananas!]

Not bad, I laughed, but it sort of has a rather anticlimactic ending. I was hoping for something more. I'm trying to imagine this except from Bowser's point of view...I would imagine going down the same way. "Oh shit, he can shoot fire too? Aw hell, I'm outta here, onto another castle and another princess."

JumpNJetz responds:

After watching this 2 weeks after I made it I can see why people would think is lame, but that's okay. Every flash movie that I make is an experience that I get to evolve from and learn from. I'm terrible at making scripts, but hopefully as I continue making animations like this regularly I will be able to improve a lot more. Thanks for the review! Really appreciate honest opinions! :)

[Bad Dog!]

Am I the only one bothered that there's no animation of the mouths to go with the voices? Also, why are your trees shaped like lemons? As for the movie, I think you have to be a mental midget to actually chuckle at this, or someone who doesn't pick up after their dogs(you jerks!!). But the animation was ok....all 22 seconds of it.

Donkeyhorse responds:

What did mental midgets ever do to you?!

[GG Animated - Doggy Style]

I commend you for trying your hand again at Flash, after all these years. This is NOT how you do it. I want you to make some original stuff, not GG or audio conversation stuff. Actual. Written. Produced. Voice Talent recorded. Stuff. Go.

NeonRock responds:

okay!

[Space Alien Hula Bunny 01]

I really dig your animation stye. Definately work on perfecting that and work on the quality of your drawings. You could do some amazing things someday. Unfortunately at the current moment, its a little too crude looking, and everything about it is just off the wall and sloppy looking. Hone your skills and refine them, and this could've been a hit.

Fluffypro responds:

Thank you. I am still trying to make it look less slopy. one thing was I tried cranking out a couple dozen of these at once for my YouTube page. I'm still working on a balance of getting it out and making it look better.

[Eric's Quest]

This was pretty good, but this story has been really played out here on Newgrounds. You can search for (Name)'s Quest and come up with at least three or four different zelda-esque adventure parodies. Regarding the story, I feel like the only new thing you brought was that the two female leads were actually lesbians...that was unexpectedly funny. The art style was simplistic but just interesting enough that it was your own, and it had a really nice flow from shot to shot. My only complaint is the voices...every time the redhead grunted or made some sort of sound, it sounded off. Like other reviewers here said, it seemed like it was a guy. So unless that's something you were intentionally "parodying" for the character's design, I would advise to make it sound more female next time. I also feel like there were some opportunities for dialogue but it was all mostly visual gags and music that paced the movie...dialogue maybe could've added more substance between scenes but that's just my opinion.
My advice for your future work would be to work on more original story ideas(and even invent new comedy bits instead of relying on what works)...having more believable voicework and sound effects, and maybe even upping your animation quality (shading, more inspired character design) Despite all this I did enjoy the movie, it just could have been much more.

ObsidianWasp responds:

Thank you for your advice. I definitely have more "original" things planned in the future, and the good news is that I have a virtually unlimited amount of time to come up with scripts... And I plan to work on my mic quality as well.

[Awkward Silence]

I lol'd. The animation was pretty straightforward, and nothing really happens. I was taken aback though, so good for you for surprising me. Apart from the random murder of two random awkward people, nothing really happened. I'd really like to know if that guy ever gets apprehended. Shit, make a whole awkward series where the awkwardness of this guy, makes him do things he wishes he didn't do. It'll be a hit.

Minchy64 responds:

Thanks for the feedback, I'll do my best on the next one!
