I'm getting pretty tired of the many Pokemon parodies that are on here and not to mention mixing Dragonball Z and Pokemon is a very tired and outdated concept and considering I've seen it done better than what I saw here, yeah I'm not very impressed. I could direct you to two other animators who made better Pokemon/DBZ mashups known as Pegbarians and WingDog and they're better because they didn't stray away from what they wanted to parody and they found a way to make the parodies work. Here, you were on track until that FLCL reference which wasn't a problem until Canti came on screen...

Speaking of which, you claimed to want to mash-up several anime together when I could direct you to your Superman vs Goku animation which only focused on them for a minute but then went off track. To be honest, looking back at that you were a lot worse with losing the focus there than you were here which I'll give you props to that. Besides ToonSmyth and Haitam didn't go too far with making uneeded references.

Anyway as for the animation, it's decent and I do like Ash's mom's dancing animation but I noticed that some tracing was used here or some of the things seem a little trached because some of the characters look really off in some scenes. However, I won't blame you for tracing the kame house as I have trouble with drawing buildings myself. I don't mind the CGI animation and I like the modeling as it's much better than mine. However, the animation did seem a bit off but it was good entirely.

For future reference, work on your writing and try to limit the amount of characters you insert in to your animation. Cluttering up a parody with an unnecessary amount of characters from various shows or games tend to kill the mood a bit. Also try to stray away from tracing, too. While it is an easier route, it doesn't make everything look appealing much unless you stylize it a bit to make it fit.

this was for an experiment for things i was testing

OH....MY....GOD!!

Dude, I couldn't have enjoyed this anymore than I already did. I won't lie, normally crossovers tend to be lackluster but my god you're writing and jokes made this worth watching. Everything was really well-written and just hilarious. I loved Vegeta's many jokes as he made me laugh the most. The animation seems to have improved quite significantly on the characters like Dr.Who and even Vegeta himself as he seemed the most animated. The trip out scene was hilarious, too.

I dunno what to say, the jokes, the references, the cameo appearances by many character even Sonic, Tails and Robotnik on the slot machines all really entertained me.

This gets a well deserved 5 stars.

Keep making awesome content.

Love the art style and the animation was amazing. Not to mention, the snow effects and blur effect were well-done. I like the really cute designs of these characters and plus the music was really fitting too. Keep it up, dude.

Nice animation and I like your shading and the backgrounds. Not to mention, you did wonderfully on the bouncy and cartoony animation.

First off I want to say that the more I hear about tome from you and the way you design and develop your own characters I start to understand this series a bit more and actually appreciate the series a bit more. In all honesty, I am starting to see some improvement in writing and acting as this show went on. When you first started off, you were quite shaky at first and then later on as time flew by you improved quite a bit.

First off the animation, unlike Nylocke's Day Off, this wasn't done completely in the style of a story book and actually had some decent animation to it and the lipsyncing wasn't too bad either. Though I would like to see you try and practice some fight scenes because at times I feel that seeing the sprite-esque characters duke it out can get sort of boring at times. That's why I'd like to see you try and animate a full fight scene for an episode and see how that carries out. Because looking at your "Waltz of the Forest" animation you're great at doing angles which shows that maybe you could try something different for an episode or two. Heck a lot of cartoons or anime have a different style for a certain episode or go an extra length for an episode. But other than that, the animation wasn't half-bad.

The voice acting was superb, indeed. I honestly think that LittleKuriboh proved that he can do dramatic scenes if he was given the chance. I also admired the voices of the newly transformed Devil especially when he gave me that Super Buu (after he had absorbed Gohan, Piccolo and Gotenks) vibe. Also the other guy (who's name already escapes me at the moment) surprised me as I thought you had hired Tim Curry to do voice work, which would be awesome! I mean they guy you had help you with these voices did a superb job and I honestly loved hearing them put on quite a performance.

As for writing, I honestly like the theming as that enemy of nylocke reminds me of so many of the people that I had met on skype or wherever. A great morjity of them always assumed things left and right and didn't bother to listen to thhe other guy's side. Plus looking Blessing's review I must say that while the defeat wasn't really motivated much I guess the devil guy probably got sick of hearing the other guy complain or he was probably more powerful than his controller was and thus ends up killing him. That last part I mentioned ALWAYS happened in DBZ and so many other shows where there was a plot point in which someone was controlling someone powerful. I dunno.

I just enjoyed watching this, dude. Keep it up.

With a sprite movie of this quality, I would love to say that the animation isn't too bad. Nice effects on movement and the blur effect and such. Not to mention everything moves at a fast pace. I'll give you some points for that.

While I did enjoy BigFoot's animation back in the day, I will say that it's not exactly 2000-2007 anymore. Sprite animations, when you compare them to the stuff that has come out in recent years from 2005 up until now, I'd say that hand-drawn flash animation has improved quite significantly and in all honesty when this was released it had the risk of being panned by some people for being too out-dated and not all that good compared to the stuff that's come out recently. Plus, some of these jokes, while funny sort of, are the same jokes that were being made back in the day. So I'll say that this could have had more thought put into it.

Damn dude! If I said that I completely hated this, I'd be lying.

Even with the slighty-cheesy and silly voice acting, this made me just laugh quite a bit. I loved how nicely-atmosphered the NES (8-bit) music is here. Without it blarring in my ear to the point of annoyance it was edited to actually sound listenable. I also love your art style and animation, too. The overall wackiness you put into this is just so likable. I also liked how that one dude was trying so hard to not act like Kuwabara from Yu Yu Hakusho.

Overall this is some pretty great writing and animation. Keep it up.

Wow, you're the first commenter in over two months; thanks so much for apreciating my first Animated short!

I'm really glad you caught the gag about "trying not to act like Kuwabara." I was always concerned that the gag was not telegraphed well enough, or somewhat too subtle to understand! Lastly, music and voice acting are my weakest links, so its really nice to hear that I hit the music levels at the right spot.

Thank you for encouraging artists with their projects. I know I appreciate it, and I'm sure the others appreciate it as well!

Decent art style and animation. I also liked the music that was used too. However, there were some inconsistencies I noticed with the sound. At some points it sounds clear and other times it sounds your a little far from the mic a bit. To add to that some of the jokes were too silly or over done (i.e:The anime girl tentacle rape joke). But other than that, I didn't mind this at all and further more, this is quite too short.

Good little animation here.

Like the movement and whatnot.

Nicely done.

Great music, beautiful animation and overall just enjoyable to watch.

Keep it up, dude.

I'm a guy who's been a big fan of Newgrounds since the mid-2000s and is happy to share his art with this community and meet new people.
