Xeptic's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[moral sense]

Wow...

This is the first flash since a couple of weeks which made me feel like writing a review again. The way you draw nature (trees, grass etc.) is truly stunning, and there was some good use in camera styles. The animation was also great, especially the characters, although it seemed to freeze some times when the loops restart, a few more frames might have done the trick. The music was very simple but fitted the movie perfectly. And because you also fitted some kind of deeper meaning into it I'm giving you a five.

Brilliant as always...

I just don't understand how anyone can make a flash movie with such a high quality. The backgrounds, the lighting/shadows (flash 8 ^^), the details, the movement of your characters, the music and the soundeffects... it's all top notch. I'm glad you gave up your dayjob :p. Beautiful frame-by-frame animations. I can't wait for part 2 to be launched.

[Ryo the ninja KID ep 2]

Wow...

this flash had such a simple style, but the effects and the camera-angles were superb, some of the best I've ever seen in any flash. The bullet scene and the explosion scene were brilliant, a bit matrix/swordfish-ish.You're going to be one of my favorites, I can't wait for the next episode.

Constructive criticism

Just a few things I type down while watching the movie, I'm just trying to gice some constructive criticism, nothing personal:
- the intro with the text takes far too long in my opinion.
- There is no sound during the movie. some voiceactors would've helped a bit.
- It all looks a bit empty, not detailed.
- it is all a bit slow, no action.
I you would improve the movie on these points I think it can be very good. i like the idea behind it. So I hope you make a third part, and try to mprove some things.

Tenkiboi responds:

Thanks, this is great advice; I hope for the next episode I could include all those qualities that you've just mentioned. I was also thinking that the text is too slow in the beginning but then I had second thoughts that some people might read slow.

[Natural Flight]

Huh?

There is one thing I don't understand: Why don't you have a 4+ score, because you sure do deserve it. The graphics were absolutely great. fbf-animations, and especially when you want to make it look like that take a lot of skill and effort. 5 for you.

[Tears of Red]

That was good,

This flash was inspired by Lillium? Well I have to admit, the only thing I didn't like in this flash was the Lilliumish text, it didn't fit right with the flash I thought.
I love the naruto style and music you used. Your drawings were brilliant, did you draw the entire thing with flash? 'cause it certainly looked good. I liked the grayscale colors, with the red accents. Nice Job!

Don't listen to Fc_Countdown.

This movie was great. I thought the characters had an unique style and the graphics for the background and the effects were superb. You made good use of shadows and gradients.
The only thing I didn't really liked were the voices, they were all almost completely the same? And it's hard to tell which character says what line.
The choice of music was very good, some good ol' dramatic final fantasy songs.
I also liked your menu a lot =).
I'm now checking the extras which I should've done before watching the movie because it explains everything... Wow, you really came up with a great storyline.

I can't wait to see more, I'm going to watch the old ones now.

Good Luck,

[Surface]

That was very good.

For a starter I would like to say that he voice acting was very good, it was excellent. Don't mind thirteen year olds like kazan_asakura who say the story is too slow or too boring, the story was very good.
The graphics were very good, the main character sometimes looked better then other times, the backgrounds were pretty detailed and well-drawn.
The story was a bit strange, but I liked it anyways, not every flash has to be some fastpaced action matrix clone.
The music was good as well as the voiceactors. I'm off to go see some more of your work. Keep on doing what you're doing.

PS sorry for my english.
