"Spot on the point"

submission: Awesomeraptor

date: June 6, 2008

I understand how hard it is to criticise egoraptor without seeming like you hate it, I actually enjoy his work but it receives way more credit than it is due. It's not exactly hard to talk fast and swear a lot, but it's funny definitely....the first time or so.

The compilations especially show the repetitive nature of his cartoons, as they all follow so tightly to the basic formula as you've shown. "there's a black guy so let's make him talk gangsta' 'lol this character's gay' 'loldicks' 'lolhot'. It makes you giggle at first but then you just start wondering whether egoraptor is a homophobic, sexist racist, which I'm sure he's not. It's just that you expect to see something new from each piece, rather than the same flash with different characters in it.

This was a great short flash, the animation was smooth, the voicing was great and it made me laugh, so thanks.

Think I'll go watch Metal Gear Awesome again now.

Score: 7

"Definitely an improvement on the last"

submission: More Brawl Taunts

date: June 6, 2008

Well I judged this too quickly, I'd assumed it'd be just the same as before but I was definitely mistaken. The animation has massively increased in quality from the last one, though I didn't see why the squiggly MSPaint outlines on the characters were necessary, must be a new fad. Good to see an animator improving their work and listening to criticism rather than disregarding it like so many do.

That part at the beginning where you personify yourself and that other person was just awfully cheesy and comes across as self-absorbed, bad start to the flash I'd say. Speaking of bad and cheesy why have you still kept that female voice actor? I cringe every time I hear it. The male voice actor was solid though, a lot more bareable than the last one, not sure if you changed it or just improved. I should've really checked the credits but the window's closed now.

The jokes themselves weren't all that great, I'll admit I laughed at a few of them but then there were just so many that were as bad and predictable as any other flash coming through with dick and fart jokes. I'm sure this caters well for the low teens/preteens age group of ham fisted morons bashing off to their latest anime obsession but I just feel like so much more could be done with this quality of animation.

That's my two cents, now if only Brawl was actually out over here yet.

Score: 7

"Short but sweet"

submission: Thorak

date: February 3, 2008

There was so much style captured in that quick little movie, loved the way that the ogres face lighted up with glee just before pulling out his sword, really expressive. Hope to see more animations from you, hopefully longer.

Score: 10

"Ackbar's voice makes me smile"

submission: Ackbar : Exposed

date: January 21, 2008

I don't get why this has such a low score, there was little actual animation, but the same could be said of most sprite movies, and at least the content was solid.
Ah well, keep it up, I love Ackbar.

Score: 7

"Wait, since when did Americans berets?"

submission: Surviving Americans

date: January 21, 2008

It was a pretty decent animation, not sure where the idea of animosity between Japanese and Americans came from, but maybe it would've been better to focus on more of the stereotypical cultural difference rather than just the idea that American men are misogynistic ill-mannered louts.
Still the art and animation were pretty good and kept with the style of an instructional video, with that classically obvious background music choice. It was a bit throwing to have the narrator with an American accent but was intended to be Japanese?
Either way I look foward to your next animation, good luck.

Score: 10

"I laughed so hard at Jimmy Carr"

submission: Dr. Mocha's Video Gaymes

date: January 15, 2008

This style is great and fits so well, and the jokes were better than those 'Awesome' series has been getting.
Can't go wrong with video game parodies on NG!

Score: 10

"Greta piece of work right here"

submission: HowTheGrinchWasAnAsshole

date: December 20, 2007

Loved it all the way through, the voices at the begginning were inaudible as has already been said, but apart from that the voices were all very clear and well done. The graphics were solid, even lagging up my poor little computer a while into it, thought it looked espcially slick on the grinch montague.
Can't believe people still downvote this because it's a clock movie though, how immature.

Score: 10

"Aw, the fanboys are cute"

submission: Awesome Grounds

date: November 28, 2007

It's true that egoraptor's movies are like an episode of Gilmore Girls with swearing.

Score: 5

"Not funny, semi-decent animation"

submission: Dumbledore is Gay

date: November 6, 2007

I really didn't get where the joke was, just because he's gay he's also sexist, harassing paeodphile? I know "it's a joke", I just don't see where the humour lies, seems like the entire plot was just to string together some lines of Dumbeldore talking dirty. This could have been done in a funny way, but this is just saying "dumbledore is gay llololol".
Nevertheless, the animation was subpar, just basic tweening of characters with some facial movements, I think if you move away from stuff like this you could make something decent.

Score: 10

"Fantastic as always."

submission: Halloween Adventure Entry

date: October 29, 2007

Once again another smooth and stylish animation, the monsters themselves had a style reminiscent of something I can't quite remember right now. It all fit along in sync with the mood of the music and woked well.
Weird authors comments, but I'm glad to see you've used an icon this time.
