KaosuKaiari's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Chef Sticky makes a Burger]

Not bad at all. The animation quality in particular deserves plenty of credit. The cheese joke was the most memorable bit - perhaps it's why you only remembered that part from the old version?

[TANKMAN BECOMING UNCANNY (PART 2)]

I like this. I'd love to see a Becoming Canny version of it.

SecretFormulaTarts responds:

Of course! I'll be working on it definitely :]

[Centipede Lady]

Truck-kun claims another life. Oh no.

Seriously though. If this is the sort of thing that happens when you're fishing for inspiration, I don't know whether I should be worried or amazed - but one thing is sure, you have no shortage of imagination.

At first I thought the music would be off-key or unfitting, but it honestly strangely works. The animation feels a little stilted, but I'm wondering if that's an intentional choice, as I feel that it really matches the music. Perhaps that's why it works so well, at least in my eyes. Definitely points for style no matter what. The design of the centipede girl herself is amazing as well. She really looks like the sort of monster that comes out of absolutely nowhere.

Overall, good animation! More like these, please!

[MADNESS: Jesus vs Satan]

Stop-motion Madness. Now that's something else! Pretty creative idea and well-executed overall. You've definitely got talent. This is the first time I'm seeing your works but this is obviously not your first post here. Don't think I've got anything to say, other than keep doing what you're doing. You're good at it.

[Snow Day!]

You've got something going on, definitely. I can see a part of a classic gag - man goes snowboarding or sledding, makes a jump, crashes through a roof and into the fireplace.

If I had to suggest an improvement, it's to make it a little longer, but not just for the sake of a longer runtime. As I see it, this part could be the last third, specifically the punchline, of a short story. The other two thirds could be spent showing your character that he's a risk taker and he initially succeeds, but then bit more than he could chew.

This is just an example but this is something I'd see: Character goes boarding/sledding and ignores a warning sign of some sort -> Character performs a first jump successfully, gets cocky -> Character performs second jump, ends up crashing in the house.

Feel free to play around with that, or to experiment with other ideas.

[Happy Happy]

Classic cartoon gags never get old, and getting them right is all about timing, pacing, and conveying expression.

In my sincere opinion, you did great on all three! Quick, short, sweet, but most importantly, it's very easy to tell what expressions and emotional states your character is making. I rewatched the animation with the sound muted, just to see if it'd work even without the added voices, and quite honestly, it does work.

If I had to go digging for a nitpick, it's perhaps that a -little- too much time is spent on frustration and on gloating, but since this animation is self-contained and not part of a larger work or episode, I'm giving it a pass; you want to show off what you can do, and for lack of better words: you got it!

Hope we'll see more from you soon, you've got something good going on here.

KAnimation responds:

thanks! I really appreciate the feedback and thoughts. I can't wait to upload my next project

[Circus for a Psycho (Speed Draw)]

Hey, it's me again. The music you used this time, again in order:

Jincheng Zhang - Blow I Love You
Jingle Punks - Skull Fire

Jingle Punks music (including Skull Fire) is part of the Youtube Audio Library for content creators and is, at least on Youtube, free to use.
I'm not sure about Jincheng Zhang's works, however. In all of his official videos, he requests that you contact him by email to purchase his music, so I suspect that isn't copyright free.

And as always, lovely speed drawing, I instantly give these a good score when I see them. Keep it up but be careful with the music you use!

AppleStixTime responds:

Thank you so much again for letting me know what music I used, and thank you for the information. I didn't know about the part with Jincheng's music, and come to think of it, I forgot how I acquired that specific music to begin with. I'll be more careful in the future. Again, thank you for your help.

[Saiyan Saga in a Nutshell]

This is almost better than the actual Saiyan Saga. Yamcha died ALMOST as quickly.
