[Shadow's Story Pt. 2]

Here's what I have to say....

Now, this movie was alright. Don't be discouraged because of the 6, because it's not THAT bad of a rating. Anyway, this movie almost suffers the same thing that the first one did. However, you added more animations, did a really good job with the text, and added a bit more storyline. It's good to see an original idea. It's a very interesting story, and I really want to see more. Although the plot isn't moving very fast, it's really building up for something big. I look foward to your next installment of the series. Keep up the good work.

That was GREAT

The MOMENT I saw your sunshine flash, I knew you had a lot of potential. This is a great flash movie, and it's very classic. It shows a lot of basic concepts. A plot, a movie, music, and comedy. You, somehow, manage to do this very well. That character model has a lot of charm, so use him more often (I like the hair). It still looks a little primitive, and i'd love to see an update, however, if you keep him looking the same it's fine with me. Think up more little stupid things, and i'll be waiting for your new flash. It always puts a smile on my face.

Thx for reviewing, I am glad you like my character.

[Final Fantasy Colloseum]

Interesting

I noticed as I watched the movie, you were getting much better at flash, and it was an enjoyable fight with the last person because the guy in black kept killing them but not the last guy, but its surprizing that your not better at flash by now with all the movies you made, no offense, anyway I enjoyed it, but next time if you want it to pass better then you should try to add random flashes of light, which is easy because its a simple tween, and I know its hard to do but you should try zooming in because when you use sprites it does't look profesional unless its zooms in sometimes or moves with the character, anyway im saying it again, it was enjoyable

[Shadow's Story]

Pretty good

This is what I have to say. The shadow model was drawn nicely. You did some animations noone would notice, like the fingers moving. You also drew a backround, which was an ok one, and a chaos emerald. The aura also looked ok, and you could notice him flying away. Everything is identifiable, if that means anything to you. Now, you should've used shadows, which would've made the movie much better. All you had to do was draw a slightly darker color behind him then the backround, and it could be a blob, and you have a shadow. The aura should've been animated, even for that short moment. This movie, sadly, does hide behind it's nice graphics, where after that you notice something that wasn't very hard to do after the drawing was finished. The plot needs to be increased. Finally, nice font. Also, good audio stream, it sounded very clear and good with a low file size as well. Overall, the movie has nice graphics, and good sounds, but doesn't make up for it in the storyline, or animations. It's ok, but try harder next time.

Jimtopia responds:

Hey again C_and_S, anyways, thx for telling me I drew the model nicely, that took me awhile, yeah, I am actually making the plot more... how you say, complex, for the second part. Be looking for the next part, I think you'll like it.

[Megaman Doomsday]

Very nice

For someone with as much talent as you it was very impressive. Very entertaining. Good animations, and everything looked pretty good. Just try to get your sprites from a better place because those looks kind of dirty. Nice backround too. Good job.

[Banana Bob vs The Samurai]

Impressive

Well at least a hell of a lot better then my first flash I passed. You have talent all you really need to do now to get really good is to practice more, but you should try putting shadows on the characters like what I do it makes your flash look like prowork somehow. But also I see sombody gave this flash a 3 but the review has alot of things you should try doing, also since there was no backround you might not be able to make very detailed backrounds, I'm not saying you can't though but just in case, watch flash made from pros but now look at the backrounds it helps trust me. About the movie, you gave the beggining a fade out and thats what makes stuff pass. Also very fitting music is in here you actually managed to compress it with more the 16 kps sound which I've tried to do but its pretty hard. But anyway keep up the good work, make more flash and this wont just become portal trash (nobody watches it anymore because its not on the front page).

[Stuck in the Desert]

I'm happy this passed

This movie didn't deserve to get blammed. Your animating skills arent the best but the drawings make it up. By the way if anybody makes a reveiw like "BLAM BLAM BLAM" they're probably retarded, so dont feel like shit if anybody reveiws like that. I look foward to your work, and I'm going to tell you something that will save most of your flashes, give your characters shadows, not shadows on the floor but on the character/object. It makes your flashes look like pro work somehow. But about the flash it was something like short but sweet. The story, if you think there was one, made this flash better then it really is. Im not saying that in a bad way. But one more thing, if you don't know how but you should try compressing your animation. Go to _Ultimate Tutorial_ and on extras it will teach you how because compressing the flash will make it crash MUCH less. I look foward to your future submissions, you are going to inspire alot of people. You have my support.

Jimtopia responds:

Thanks C_and_S, be expecting more cartoons!

[School Madness]

Very nice

I liked this movie. It's definately not Krinkels madness, but it's very good for a tribute. It's a very long movie, I think longer then some of Krinkel's madness. It's animated well and all the weapons sound the same as their real counterpart. You managed to find some time to put in some clever things. Like when our "hero" gives that guy the AK, and he tries to fire. The only thing I DIDN'T like was that he did it for no reason at all. He wasn't noble doing any of the things. Even Krinkel's madness has a reason. In the first one our "hero" is defending himself, and afterwards he has to kill the sherid and a Jesus-like person.

[Goku SSJ for 1st time]

Not bad

It was ok. The first thing I noticed was it's very accurate to the actual episode. People that can't see that one will at least be able to see the next best thing. The only difference between this and the real episode is the other one has better drawings and animation. Of course the people that drew that scene are amazing artists, so it's stupid to compare it to yours, which are pretty good. The music is very DBZ. I'm happy to see that they're original tracks and well synced together. The things I find bad about this is it captures the stalling of the DBZ series. Also, Gohan makes the same god damn face every time. He did make that face, but it's extremely annoying. I can't blame you for that though. I watched this movie to see the recreation of Goku going super saiyan, which I did. I haven't seen it in years, and i'm happy to say this is the next best thing. Like I said before, the animations are up to speed with them, but at least the quality is better (no blurry screen). Good job.

Thanks for the review. Glad you liked it. I tried to make it as accurate as possible in the time I had.
