Weak

Yet another "kill stick arena"-like movie. It's even worse. In stick arenas there is actually a lot of frame by frame animation and artists, who make them actually puts a life in their creations.

Your creation however isn't much of an animation, you just draw one lego soldier and did CTRL-C, CTRL-V x times. Especially weak were the animations of soldiers dying. Okay, its kinda much to draw and all, but seriously, those guys were mere meat, without any life.

Fight was pointless and reckless, who would stand still with machinegun on the open space. I thought they would at least crawl into bombholes or something, but they just didn't care for their lifes.

3/5 You have great potential as an animator but you must keep training.

Artsy

This movie really makes you think what art really is? Does it needs such sacrifice as shown in your movie, or it comes with few fancy lines drawn with pencil?

It's really hard to say and it depends on the artist and the person, who later watches your work.

Anyway, animation and drawings were perfectly balanced, and with geniously choosen music it created very heavy, old-time dusty atmosphere. Character outlines are thick, and you added weight by drawing such dark shadows.

However the thing i didn't like was moment of the suicide/sacrifice. You could put more heart into it, since 'twas the climax of this movie.

5/5

Well

How to get 5?

Tip no. 7: Make "How 2 Succeed on NG"-like movie laughing at dumbness of other movies. Truly briliant. Even if you're being an hypocrite.

Nice voice acting and animation thou.
4/5

Awesome

Spike, you caffeeine addict, you never cease to amaze me. :P It was breathtaking. Short, yet beautiful.

The pallete of colours you used perfectly made a cool atmosphere in just 2 minutes. Chara design also fit the situation, especially when you used diffrent colours for the outlines. Also, it's nice to see your practice characters in some nice action, having such great voice actors. I loved that german voices ;D

Sound was absolutely perfect! I thought it's quality is even too good for the flash :P As usual, my headphones were fully satisfied.

I feel sorry for the guy watching at girl and licking himself.
5/5 keep up the great work :) Your movies are truly inspiring!

SpikeVallentine responds:

thank you for your appreciation and time!

ahahahhah!
Licking him self. hahaha.

good, but...

Plot, which is the most important stuff in this kind of movies was pointless, and well.. not original.

Again school, again super-duper-powered students, some post-apocallyptic world. School life is as hell as boring. You try making your characters a living persons with feelings, but it ends like you've make them emotional cripples, who hit each other, when they are arguing.

And, where the new school recruits come from? World is in a desolate state afer all, yes? And above all, where is the whole point of keeping those students in the bases? To brainwash them?

The characters:
- L-from-Death-Note like guy, the Prodigy, who doesn't have any human feelings at all.
-Cybil, tough ass bitch, who isn't actually a bitch but a sobbering whimpy girl inside
-Prodigy's mates, taken from the random shoen anime, acting like trying to be cool, but actually being lame
-Super evil villian, mad man, controlling whole the US. Soooo original.

Animation weren't so bad, however you need more detailed foregrounds and backgrounds. Pepole gestures are pretty good, i like noses of your characters :P

Sound quality could be better, you could use less variety of music to keep it possibly non-mixed. Voice acting is awesome, you really feel emotions coming from the voice actors.

Overally, try to make it more original. Basing your plot on existing stories isn't always that great.

Keep up the good work, I hope you will suprise me in another episode :)
4/5

OH man

That was so awesome, i totally laughed my arse off. What pathologic! Having a gay daddy and normal family. xD

Also, visual aspect and drawings may not be the strong part of the movie, but it fits the situation perfectly. Audio was good too, it had an important role to suprise and it suprised.
Keep up the good work

I liked that :)

It was very helpful. I was always studying female body, it's sweet mountains and valleys, but beacuse of that i nearly had forgotten, how to draw men :P. I disagree with some of your techniques, but's only beacuse i use a lil diffrent style.

Also hands could be more handsome and muscles more roundy, but since i'm male, i'll always look at man's body from a diffrent angle, than you do :P

Anyway, thanks for refreshing my memory :D
4/5

PS. You used tablet or something?

skarl3tte responds:

yea i use a tablet. there's no way i could ever draw without it.

Well

Why pepole gets all aroused by it? It's just a slideshow with The Pillows music. Of course i watched FLCL and i love it, but I 'aint feeling in my soul that i should give 5/5 to every submission somehow connectiong it, like some ppl do.

Overally nice, but you could actually animate something and do the stuff. The thing i liked the most in original FLCL was the animation. Gainax made a masterpiece, so could you at least try :P

Funny

And i know it's made to be bound with the music. Dunno, but above of all boob and penis plot it's awfully stupid and predictable.

Drawings were awesome, you sure know something about FBF, and i'm very happy of it. Your work is overally very good, but try making something with better developed plot.

Music was at nice quality, overally awesome, but it doesn't fit my personal music taste.

4/5
Keep up the great work!

Intreresting

I liked this movie, mainly for it's freakiness and animation. Also audio built up nice athmosphere, it was simply incredible.

I'm with you. Don't listen to the assholes, who give you zeros and such. I think artists should make movies containing every topic even if it's politically wrong. Many were throwing shit at you beacuse of the baby chopped in half by the elvis guy. I found it more artistic and controversial, overally your submission shouldn't be taken seriously.

and BTW, the most freaking thing i found here is that horse-headed-businessman.

4/5 8/10 good luck on making such cool movies in future :)

Catoblepas responds:

I still don't know what it is with those businessmen that freak people out. I myself find them fascinating.

Duuuuude... Wait, what?
