Nanashi's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Navy Recruiting Ad]

Funny

I'm not going to bash this beoucse obviusly your being funny. I havent read all the other reviews, but I'm sure there are a few old navy guys having a cow.

I can't imagine a whole lot of snipers, suicide bombers or IEDs getting a shot at you while your 'catching the breeze' on your ship in the navy though.

Why don't you do one about the ARMY, and our world renown "hurry up and wait" policy, or "I know that's the smart, fast, and easy way, but this is the ARMY! We do it the dumb way just because!"

:P

[[ The Escape ]]

Keep it up

My first animation was horrible, but it survived for one major reason. It told a story, and it was serious. Two things there is NOT enough of on newgrounds. I feel you have taken a step in the right direction, although I didn’t much like the song choice, but that’s more of a personal preference thing.

People are going to bash it, and people are going to love it. Just let the positive reviews be your encouragement, and move on to trying to make the next one better than the last.

LOL, nice

Holy crap Ego, you're still around!? Its me, ranger from HLR, nice to see you are still doing stuff like this. This one is funny as hell, just like the DBZ one. I hope you make more soon, there are alot of subjects to cover. Hell, I think it would rule if you made more making fun of different anime you have seen, god knows there is alot of material in them to work with.

Good work :)

I have been saving this 10 for somthing like this

Incridible fluid animation unlike anything I have seen here before. You have gotten alot better since Final Fantacy A+!!! The movment was better than what you see in anime on TV now days! And it must have been so much work making it all move to the music. EXILENT job. Now make us a good series in this drawing stile with fight scenes that smooth and you have a winner.

[Metal Gear Domestic]

Wow, it was all in the script ^_^

This was great. The lines where very funny and easy to relate to any argument. Exelent voice acting as well.

[Fluete -SE-]

Proof that effort is EVERYTHING

I love this so much because it looked like you actually cared about what you where doing, and that’s all that really matters. Some people may complain about the drawling, but you have EVERY single element of story telling in place, with great camera angles, and style, and a clear plot. It more than makes up for some lines that atent perfectly strength. This animation is an inspiration for me, because I can’t draw people for crap, and that is what is missing from my animations.

Very well done.

[Vengeance DVD]

Alot of work

I see you put allot of work in this, and I don’t think a war between the US and china is that unlikely. As sad as it may be, China is a communist nation, and America is a democracy. Communism and America have never mixed well, and I can tell you a lot of Americans are angry about Chinas trading policy, or lack there of (selling everything, buying nothing). I can tell you this. You will never see the deployment of nuclear weapons in your lifetime. China knows, just like Russia did, that if they nuked us, it would be the end of days for everyone. America would retaliate with a full nuclear strike. China would not bomb one place, they would try to hit our capital, and NORAD to smash our launch capability. If they nuked, they would give it everything they had to make sure we couldn’t nuke back.

I think you have the story strength with the Aircraft, but you should also keep in mind that we did not know about the F-117 for 10 years, I guarantee we have a new fighter that’s above and beyond the 22, but I don’t know why you would predict a US loss in a navel campaign.

As a flash animation, I think the music choice is as good as it could have been minus the classical music, the credit song, and the song right before it. Drawling looked good, but you need to learn to use the curve tool a little more. Sound effects would have been great, but would have dried it all out without some vocals. Next time post in the V.A. club post and get some actors to do radio lines, then use Goldwave to make them sound degraded (like a radio would) and slap em in there :P

Very good interactivity and use of dynamic fading for music.

[Kanzeni Marin Nitsuite]

You are far more skilled than you know :)

Was it intentionally bilingual, or was that just for style? Not that I minded, I kind of like it more like that, after watching all of Onegai Teacher with only English subtitles. It was good practice for me, seeing that I am currently learning Japanese, so that made it even more worthy of my 9 (a rare thing from me, let me tell you) I may be wrong, but I do believe she called someone an idiot at the end, correct?

Animation was not perfect, but what NEEDED to be there was and what lacked in skill was made up for in style. The hole thing felt consistent, and I was able to tell what was going on 100% of the time, (witch is not normally the case in my anime :P )

It had all the basics of a short story, with an emphasis in comedy, not story complexity, so the stories simplicity is entirely forgivable. It even contained a few little things that only anime freaks would notice (such as the father who is humming the opening music to Neon Genesis: Evangelion)

If you plan to continue this into a series, I suggest you spend a few episodes introducing us to each character, and then after that, make the rest like this one, short, simple, but interesting (a little longer would hot hurt though, if file size permits it)

All in all, I really enjoyed it! Was a nice change from a lot of the stuff I see here on newgrounds. ^_^

[Alpha Soldiers-Part I]

Great start

Good story, good music choice, if ONLY THEY WHER NOT STICKS! If you could force your self to draw no-stick cheractors, this series might rock! Take it into consideration, its very hard to take stick figures seriously.

[City of Robots Teaser]

Blue!

I like the fact that it has a theme, and feel that is consistant. Makes it more movie-like, witch seems to be what you where going for.

Found it kind of odd that the robots looked more like sceletal placeholders from 3Dstudio max. I know how much space 3D content takes up (I use a tone of it in my animations) but I dont think it would hurt to give the robots some detail. It looks as if you are an animator more than a modeler though, in witch case, the box based robots are compleatly understandible.

Good luck with the final movie/seres thing :)
