[Roller Coaster Junkie]

Powerfull!

Wow, that song was great, and the video matched it perfectly! But I must say it lacked a little depth, the line was high but there was no development. When he cranked up the speed more and more, I really thought 'here we go!' but nothing really happened and he just stopped at the station again. It would have been great if he overdid it and he would sidecourse from the coaster, finally meaning his obsession with speed and coasters would be his end. 'Going with a blow' sort a thing. But all in all, great movie! (Love the character design btw, drooool <3 )

[There She Is!! final step]

Yeah, that's the way to end a series!

Hell you left me with this godawful feeling in the previous episode, but this is really the only way to end such a great mini-series. You follow a classic anime storytelling scheme, which really works! Sorrow-free at first, then when you get to love the characters you break them up and makes you feel miserable. Only to end it with a big bang in the end where all the characters come to enclosure.

Love how you add a little something special to it, like that the colors (the green scarve) have meaning in your story. Just like Schindler's List where the red coat was a key element.

In this episode I was impressed with the quality of the effects, especially the big hologram sign in the end. Really great looking, and I love the contrast of the B&W world with the colorful elements. It gives almost an Apple kind of look.

The music was fitting and drags you into the movie. It reminded me of Furi Kuri when the happy theme came. It radiates a similar feeling.

So to make this story short: You've done a great job! These are the things that make our live a little more enjoyable, and which reminds us why movies and animations are made in the first place. The final step (hehe) for you now would be to compile a complete animation of all episodes, bring it out on the web, dvd, whatever and let me and a lot of other folks buy it!

[Dog Of Man]

was actually visiting NG for some happyness (A)

But this movie really made me a bit sick to be honest...pff disturbing stuff! Great atmosphere, and you really awoken some emotion. Powerful, but weird and disturbing... Good job!

[Jerry and The Closet]

you've actually scared me there!

Damn, I just thought that it would be an anticlimax when he opened the closet, but you actually scared the living shit out of me! Hahah I watched it at work with my headphones on, but the screams where so loud that I got all of there attention! :D Good animation, 5 stars for you buddy

[The Assumption Song]

We're all foul creatures...

Yeah it's dormant in everyone of us I guess ;) Great song and animation hahaha made me giggle like a little boy.

[With My Mind's Madness]

WOW!

That was something else! Not so sure what the Catholics would have to say about this with Jesus destroying a city and all but DAMN that was some energetic shit! Great FBF animation, and the scetchy style really came to its right in this one. One thing that bugged me a bit was that Jesus playbacked a little piece of the song right before he attacked. That got me a bit out of the mood since Jesus silently really kicked ass.

Thanks for the good animation, 10 points for you!

[GunChest Episode 01_02]

Great animation!

The reason I'm not giving you a 10 is because at some points you use some really bad quality bitmaps rather than vectors. I know you want to keep the filesize small but compressing the bitmaps to nothing is not the way to do so. Further more you only have English available as language, but from other reviews I know you have an original (Japanese) soundtrack as well. Why can't we choose between the two?

But that was the end of the negatives ;) Because...DAMN that was good! The action is beautifully performed, and the models look very sleek. Good shading to top it off. The characters lack depth at the moment, but that's alright, I have a feeling that we get to know them a little better every episode. You have come up with a perfect hybrid of 3d animation and plain vector animation. It's nice to see something like this that hasn't been prerendered to a FLV movie, the vectors keep it very crisp! The animation and storytelling reminds me of a very good game called "Oni", those who have played it know what I mean ;)

Keeping an eye out for the next episode, they're something else!

GunChest responds:

what a great rivew...
so that way i made they can choice languages(Korean, English)
thanks

[FrameByFrame]

Back to the basics

It reminded me of a cartoon created in the 30'ies I saw at school, when these transitions and poetic animations were like magic to the people. Great to see that over 70 years later they still haven't lost their charm! Fancy 3D CG and over the top effects are all nice, but they get old because new shit is possible. This labor intensive frame by frame animations never get old, because it's purely the animators soul and creativity that is put into it. Good job! And I pray that these kind of animations will never disappear.

[Smiley -Battle for Smokes]

FF7 alone gives you a 10!

That was epic...first I thought: goddamn...not another crappy animated high-pitch-voiced stickman-ish cartoon...but hell was I wrong! The speed and music really composed well together (only the action sequence got a little boring of repetition) but the nuke gave it a grand finally! _o_ hail to thee!

[asdfmovie]

pace was good...

But really, people stop with the NOISE! I hate those screens and the noise sound. Nice humor by the way, made me giggle ;)
