[Leo & Satan III]

Awesome

Quite a piece of work here. The animation is just flawless, as well as the drawings. Very convincing art. The shading and attention to detail was amazing, same goes with your animations. The animations were on a higher level than most flash authors.

The voice acting was pretty much spot on, and the music and sound effects you used for this all blended with the animation very well, no complaints there.

Things to improve on - The story concept wasn't all that moving. Although the animation, sounds, and art were all spectacular, the story itself wasn't really all that interesting, funny, or emotional. It was nice, but I think it could be a bit more epic. I suppose you would tell me you have multiple episodes, but maybe if you combined those that would be just totally epic. The emotional scene didn't quite convey the intense emotion of a death that I feel it should, also.

Other than those few things, just awesome. I recently discussed the fact that I give out too many 10s to easily, so I'm trying to really work on my critiquing and helping flash authors instead of just "10 - just amazing" So just so you know I'm rating this on a very strict scale. Solid 9. Keep up the good work.

[Avatar - Hot Na'vi Sex]

lol

Not bad really, the drawings were fantastic. Some parts of the animation were flawed a bit, like the lip syncing didn't really seem to match up all that well. Looks like you were a tad lazy on that part. The concept was good though, decently funny I suppose. The sound effects were good, and the music was appropriate though. Keep up the good work.

[Drunk Science]

Meh

Hate to be a wet blanket here, but I've seen this three times now and I figured it's about time to write a review for it. Honestly, I really didn't find this funny at all. Then again, I don't drink, hate drinking, and generally just think drunk people are kinda stupid. There were a couple parts that were...almost funny...but not quite really.

The animation was decent, but nothing extraordinary really. The art was drawn pretty well too. So being as unbiased as possible about the concept, I'll still give you a 9/10. The voice acting was pretty good and the song was alright, but I really don't understand 'drunk science' at all...

[Gone Too Far Too]

Nice

Not bad, I suppose. I didn't particularly find the song overly catchy really, or the concept really funny either, but the effort you put into this really shows. The animation is flawless and the art was all drawn very well. Good work with this, keep it up.

[Tactical Directive Pt1 v2]

Nice

Like I said in the last volume's review, good work. I forgot to comment on the proper menu screen as well, a nice touch indeed. The credits were also done professionally.

Touching up on things I said before, but concerning this volume, the voice acting again could use some work. I think it was okay in this episode, but still needs a bit of work to be more convincing.

The art also definitely needs to be improved. The scenery looks great, and so do the guns, but the actual characters themselves seriously need to be improved. Some different facial characteristics would really help. It can be hard to remember who is who at times because the characters all look so very similar. The different eyes just isn't enough. Maybe slightly different colors? Some eyebrows on some? Something should be done. I think it was the chief of police? Maybe the cop boss? He was a good character. Had a vest which made him stand out from the rest and his voice was great and totally in character. The guy he was talking to, not so much. What he said was clear, but the emotion seemed to be missing.

I think you could also work on some of your lines and make them a bit more clever. Like instead of just telling facts, give the guys some character. Have them be assholes to each other and tell jokes. Maybe give each other some shit about something like commenting on how bad his tie looks, anything. That kinda stuff really gives people character.

The scene right before the explosion wasn't all that convincing. Could have used better effects/timing, however directly after that, it was great. The hazy look, and the sprinklers were great. The car was drawn very well also. I think that the man with the fake eye seriously needs to have a different voice though. He sounds way too normal and it doesn't match his appearance very well.

I hope that you take some of this constructive criticism into consideration, as I try to be as descriptive and helpful as possible. Great episode though, keep up the good work, you've got a lot of potential to be a great flash author.

Oh, and I will add that the music was very appropriate, and so was the volume level ;)

[Tactical Directive Pt1 v1]

Very good

This is a very good animation and the effort you put into this really shows. I'm giving you a 10 for the overall animation, but I did find a lot of room for improvement which I will outline and I hope you consider for future works. Before I do so, I will let you know that this is fantastic. I'm glad it's very long and that the story is good. The animation is for the most part great. Everything is very distinguishable and the story makes sense and is for the most part easy to follow. I'm giving you a 10 based on the fact that you had this idea, and really followed through very well. The subtitles were a great addition and made it very easy to follow along with the story and in case you couldn't hear anything (I didn't have this issue) you would be able to read along.

As far as room for improvement, I see a lot also. The voice acting wasn't exactly professional. Although the voices were very clear and easy to understand, they seemed to lack the emotion and character depth I would expect for a movie of this type. I would suggest getting really into character for future works and trying to feel the emotions that the character would feel if you were in that situation, as it seemed devoid of that in multiple places.

The drawings were decent for the work. I could understand what was going on totally, but obviously there was some parts that didn't look as pleasing as they could. I think you could have spend more time on them, or drawn some things a bit better.

Other than that, the story was really good, and I enjoyed watching this. The effort paid off and really produced a nice piece. I liked the humor you added into this as well. It was a great relief from the story and pretty funny also. I hope that you keep it up and just make some minor improvements for the better because you have tons of potential. Keep up the good work!!

[Ghosts 'n Goblins V.2]

Nice

Pretty entertaining flash. At least it keeps you wanting to watch to find out what's going to happen. I think the cursor was a neat idea and made this far more interesting. The effort shows, although I see room for improvement. The sprites look great for the most part, and all the animation seems to flow well.

Not really much else to say about this. It wasn't overly amusing or funny, but still entertaining and well done. Keep up the good work.

Pienkaito responds:

Thanks for the comment. I know, it lacks a few stuff. But I personally think, that this is good enough for a 1 week work.
But thanks for pointing it out.
