You got my hopes up, looking for the wrong Akane though. =(

5 points for the girl. -2 points for the guy. Even bisexuals like them one at a time.

"I can't say it's a fantastic start,"

submission: Friends 4eva

But I'm extremely flattered that you used one of my songs. I honestly wasn't expecting that this early... given that I only added it three days ago, however, says that you haven't been working on this for long.

Flattered though I may be, I'm afraid it would be hypocritical of me if I were to give you extra points just for that. Aside from the obvious problem with the text speed, it just felt kind of... thrown together. Like you made it because you had to rather than because you wanted to... or you just didn't put enough time into it to make it stand out. I'm no artist myself, but it would be insulting if I were to believe that you couldn't do more than line-tool backgrounds and box figures.

Long story short, it depends on what your goal is. If it's purely self-improvement then I can understand submitting it to the portal... to be honest that's kind of what I did with the audio track you used. Once you can afford to, though, I hope you give your work enough time to bring it to life.

A classroom can teach you how to create, but not how to be creative. ;)

"The game wasn't bad..."

submission: Time Fcuk

... but the comments felt like you were trying too hard. Weird for the sake of being weird, as you so elegantly put it. If you're going to try and mindfuck somebody, it's usually best to use a subtle approach rather than throwing it out in the open. But, perhaps that's just me.

Not much to say about the game itself. A relatively basic platformer with a similarly basic concept, the comments are amusing on occasion but otherwise not terribly effective... as for the gameplay itself, I've no complaints. It could have been a little more interesting aesthetically, but I suppose it wouldn't have fit your theme, then. Let's say... 6 out of 10. About as effective at killing time as Epic Battle Fantasy.

P.S. I could be mistaken, but I think you may have confused dimensions with dimensional planes. Just my thoughts, anyhow.

Score: 6

"Are you REALLY that terrified of critique?"

If it's a 10, it's helpful. If it's less, it's not. Really?

Score: 7

"I'm... actually quite impressed."

submission: DBZ: Piccolo's Problem

date: September 14, 2009

Well-drawn, well-voiced... not a whole lot of movement or variety, but it was entertaining. The only thing I could see improving would be Nail's or, to a lesser extent, Piccolo's voice. Kami's was on the mark. Otherwise there's not much else to the Flash besides voiceovers and moving pictures, so... not a whole lot to improve upon in such a limited spectrum.

All in all, well done.

Score: 0

"Meh."

submission: Epic Battle Fantasy 2

God forbid someone say ANYTHING bad about something that's POPULAR, right AniMerrill?

Once again, I only really played it to see all the animations. I would say I'm not a fan of turn-based strategies, but I'd be lying... there have been such games that I've taken great interest in, but as AniMerrill stated, you need to get some originality in the gameplay mechanics. Otherwise, I'm going to be completely honest with you: The only point in playing the game through is seeing the graphics. I just don't find it fun to get there, even in easy mode.

Graphics are fantastic, as they've always been. Mechanics... personally, I think they need some interactivity, not just point-and-click text boxes. Music was good, especially if it was self-composed, albeit a tad monotonous. (I recognized the Flare sound effect from the Worms series) After the mechanics, my biggest concern would probably be the game's movement speed. It wasn't that the game was lagging, even in low quality, it just plain moved slowly. The animations take quite some time to execute with 3-second intervals between attacks and all these fancy effects to cycle through, most of the game is just spent sitting and waiting for your next turn.

In absolute simplest terms, the graphics stand out. They're fantastic. And the addition of the medals system is another big plus. Just try to bring the gameplay-related aspects up to par and the series may well be worthy of a place in Newgrounds history.

Score: 7

"Sort of."

submission: The Assumption Song

date: August 11, 2009

I'm not aware of the whole Bob Saget situation, I haven't yet seen the special. But Wikipedia, should you choose to go off of it, says that the Arrogant Worms are often miscredited for the original recording of this song. The original artist was some fellow named Vito Petroccitto Jr.

As for the score, 7/10. I've favorited it, but it's not the funniest thing out there. Animated wonderfully, though I didn't care for the cow easter egg.

Score: 2

"I just didn't find it funny."

submission: Street Fighter Collab

date: July 21, 2009

It was just a collection of repetitive penis jokes and a futile attempt at shock humor. Only two or three of the artists' sketches were well-animated and few of them had any differentiation between character voices. One of the few that passed these two expectations was the final one - well-animated and nice audio - but it had no content. Just more shock humor, which, while it may be funny to some, comes off as tacky and desperate to me.

I really shouldn't be writing this review because there's nothing that can improve... well, no. Rather there's nothing that will improve. It's all a matter of taste and, should anyone here give a rat's ass about my opinion, this film has none. I was tempted to give this review a 0 score just to drag that average down, but I decided to take the high road and give it a fair score. Nonetheless, I couldn't stand idly by and watch page after page of less-than-thoughtful 10's go by. Better luck next time.
