Ardhamon's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Watch your step]

Dude!! This needs more views!! I can definitely see why this was front paged!! The animation is so smooth, the colors are nice and atmospheric and the painted stills have amazing attention to detail and everything!! I was gonna give this a 5 star just to support this and keep this animation up but hot damn dude you definitely are mad talented!! I'm definitely giving you a follow to see what you come up with in the future!! Keep up the good work!!

4thNoah responds:

thank you very much.

[Sweet Boy Beach - The Gloriously Crappy Adventures of Cuthbert & Dante]

As usual man, your animations are absolutely spectacular. I love how random and off the wall and it's satisfying to watch. For years I've enjoyed the execution of the jokes in your cartoon and honestly you manage to make it worth watching.

Sexual-Lobster responds:

thanks!

[Night Of The Werewolves]

You're writing seems to have potential as does your dialogue. The main issue is your art and animation. I can understand that simplistic animation and art is usually meant for more of a quicker method to tell a story but damn your anatomy is way off and at times it got too messy.

Again good idea with great intention and potential. Needs more work put into production.

Also hire some voice actors. There are plenty on Newgrounds and soundcloud among other mediums.

SonnyFern responds:

Thanks for checking it out!

Sometimes I use voice actors, sometimes I don't, I have an animated webseries that employed over a dozen voice actors! I have Prisoner 109 that has 3-4, it all depends on the project. I did most of the voices in this one, but Trina Duehart did the punk girl and I actually found her here (for the Freddy animation coming up next...I'm also hiring mostly voices I found here!)

Thanks again for giving it a look!

[Uncle Gwandpa]

Really love your facial expressions and your smooth animation movement.

Keep it going

Ex-Poser responds:

I shall :)

[Edge]

I love this cartoon as it perfectly describes people I come across online through skype or any other means but also people I meet in real life.

However, reading Twisted's review and watching this quite a bit I can say that I agree pretty much with what Twisted said. The animation seems off and unproportioned, the coloring needs to be worked on a bit more and I honestly don't think 3 people should have worked on the coloring as it may cause a bit of continuity or consistency issues. Same thing with the additional art. People may have a different idea of what they want the coloring or art too look like. So it may cause some problems with what I mentioned earlier.

The voices and writing wasn't half bad. I laughed at some of the jokes. Could be a bit better but its still not bad.

I did enjoy this cartoon slightly.

Flikkernicht responds:

Yeah, the whole coloring thing was just rushing on my part. Wanted to have it done by the end of the year, so I asked my friends to do some coloring so I could pump it out quicker. I get what you mean about working with a bunch of people each doing additional art as well, but I dunno, I just like collabing with people who make good shit. The guys who did the additional art did a great job, but I think I get what you mean. Need to be more self reliant I guess. Anyways, glad you at least slightly enjoyed it, thanks for the criticism.

[Pokeball CL]

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.

Kel-chan responds:

this was for an experiment for things i was testing

[River City Ridiculous]

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.

CynicConn responds:

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!

[How To Be A Ladies Man]

Amazing as always, man.

I loved the pick-up lines and the tone that the father had when giving them to the son. Also, I never thought that Abo was in his 30's. I imagined that he was much younger.

Sykohyko responds:

lol cause he acts 12

[Hamtardo]

Nice animation dude. Wacky and silly.

Loved the shading and everything but I will say that the voice acting could have been a bit better and the microphone quality had some background noise like the echos and such.

But overall not bad.

MartinLarson responds:

Uhm... Those were homemade sound effects... Not background noise.

[Calcium Wrath]

God dammit, man.

There wasn't enough lactating tits in this. :<

Sexual-Lobster responds:

agreed.
