Kimura's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Final Act]

Very Nicely Done

This was extremely well done. The rendering was nice and clean, the video was crisp. The only minor issue is when the right ear clips with the right arm as he's hanging himself, but of course reanimating and rerendering that part would take an extensive amount of time to do.

Couple questions: What 3D program did you use? How did you optimize the video for flash so as that there was lamost no pixelation/distortion?

[Madness Aggregation]

Very good, but didn't raise the bar

When I first watched this I was thrilled to finally see the new Madness out. however after watching it again I'm a little disappointed, if only because I think Madness 8 raised the bar so high for the series in terms of animation, angles, and effects.

Madness 9 started off very well with the car fight scene, but as the movie progressed it fell back into the regular Madness routine. This is what makes the series of course, but I don't feel that the combat is at the same level as 6 or 8.

On the other hand, the mutant claw thing seems kind of just random and just thrown in there. The two characters are a nice addition to the series, but I personally know nothing about them, and it would have been nice if a little info had been given in the movie. Now one of them is dead. The music is cool, but it's not as epic as 6, 7, or 8. It's just kind of there in the background, and the animation doesn't play off of it like it does in other installments.

With all that said this is still an geat video, and I'm looking forward to 10.

[Prostitute Mickey 2]

Even better than the first!

The first one took my childhood memories and raped them, this continues to do so!

However that's OK because it's so damn funny. Animation could use a bit of work, if only so Mickey actually walks, but that's nitpicking. The voice acting is superb, and really brings the characters to life.

[In My Arms Collab]

Great Animation, Superb Design

The animation was very nice for the most part, and most of it went with the music well (with a couple exceptions).

However, I absolutely love the Intro...it's music and design are top notch. As a graphic designer, it's rare that I come across flash wish such quality design to the menu system...so this is a nice treat. Hope to see another.

[A Big Three Xmas]

Happily, not what I was expecting.

When I first saw the title I was expecting it to be yet another "let's bash Detroit" sort of thing. Still I decided to give it a shot. I was pleased that for the most part. It was random and lighthearted, having fun with the situation without going down the path of "OMG DETROIT SUX because [insert uninformed reason here]. Just remember that all of the auto companies are in the crapper, it's just that their governments actually support them.

Random, funny, and well animated, it's only shortcoming was the audio levels weren't right. The voices were low but teh sound effects were loud. Other than that nice job.

Also, in Chrysler's case, much of it's problems stem from Mercedes raping the company for all it was good for, than cost cutting the hell out of it, and selling the remains off. I just felt like mentioning this as a Chrysler fan.

Nutcasenightmare responds:

Ah, okay, thanks for telling me that bit I didn't know about Chrysler!

[With My Mind's Madness]

Truly Epic

The rough and dirty nature of the animation actually helped set the mood for the movie and the music was perfect. Animation and effects were great but most of all I like how you carried on the battle from Madness 8 and ended it with a bang. The symbolism was very clever as well.

Easily one of my favorite submissions for Madness Day.

[Parsley Boobs]

Oh no, I am dying

Great work, oh so funny.

[Dick Knows Best]

Not bad but...

It was pretty good but the voices were too low and the sound effects were to loud...make them the same volume or something...other than that it was good and pretty funny.

[A Kitty Krew Beatdown]

Wow, one of you guys can actually animate

Normally the stuff you guys put it is total garbage...but this one was actually pretty well drawn and animated...nice work.

[[uu] somethin]

That was actually pretty cool

First [uu] submission I've seen that doesn't suck...there's little actual animation, but the artwork itself was very cool. Assuming you guys didn't steal this, it was actually quite god and something I enjoyed watching...music went well with it too.
