[Britain is Fucked!]

pretty good...but not America's fault...sort of...

I found the guys voice to be annoying...but the song was catchy. If there were a better singer, it would be really really good.

But, I can't blame ALL of america for this. I blame the rich scumbags who are running the country. Its not like all of us had a big meeting and decided to ruin the world. That's just stupid. Your average american is having just as hard a time as the average brit. The whole world is going down the crapper, not just Britain.
In truth, the problem started when the Republicans removed limitations on corporations. That was a stupid idea. Now we're exactly where america was before the Great Depression, except now the rich scumbags have conned the entire world.
And also President Bush for being such an idiotic douchebag as to then give those same scumbags millions of dollars each and expecting them to play nice with it. as if.
I hope that their personal hell is getting to watch every single life that they
ruined. While also being stabbed with very sharp objects.

So, don't blame americans. blame rich, stupid, greedy, douchebag americans.
(Did You Know? 80% of the total wealth of america is owned by less than 1% of its population? guess which 1% that is?...see above sentance.)

cant argue with that!

[EFN Episode 1: Lies]

Really Good

Very excellent style.
And, this movie has a certain stylishness about it. Some of the lines from the villain were a bit cheesy, but it's almost a requirement so it's easy to let slide.

Actually, the villain's design is one of the best I've seen. You don't see well designed villains everyday.

Oh, but try not to make the guy that shows up at the end seem too much like the Auditor in Madness Combat. Definate visual similarity there, but it's still cool.

Overall, crazy good animation. I hope to see more from you, and I hope to start animating soon. Perhaps someday I might be half as good...lolz.

[electric eel]

I want this song.

I know where to get the original for this song, but I WANT THIS VERSION.

I MUST HAVE IT.

I NEED IT TO SURVIVE.

I want to listen to this in my car at incredible volumes, and point at women who are next to my at stoplights.

I want this song to be playing when I die. and I also want to be screaming: "THERE'S TOO MANY OF THEEEEM!!!" and firing a large, automatic weapon. A gatling gun will suffice.

All my 5 are belong to this, all my 10 are belong to this.
This song shocked me like an electric eel.
It turned me on like electric feel.
I will be recommending this for music vids.

thank you, for the joy you have given me.

[Birdthingy]

huh....

It was good, but I swear I've seen this before, somewhere else.

I'm docking you 1 point because I'm mildly suspicious, because I KNOW I've seen this before. Or maybe I'm just crazy. It's a possibility.

MUAHAHAHAHAAA

SHAMU HAS SPOKEN!!

[Irod Bad!]

Oh Crap

Oh...my....crap....

I just peed myself....

Excuse me....

[NEW LIFE- English version]

Good anim.

I give the score I give because it was very good animation.
Good message, a little bit obvious, but true.
Then again, just because something is obvious, it doesn't mean that we ever actually think about it. Obvious isn't bad, it's just a state of being. Sometimes people need to be reminded of the obvious things, too. You know what I mean?

However, unlike other reviewers, I would be extremely hesitant to state this as the "meaning of life." That's extending the animation way beyond its boundries. I beleive in a general meaning of life, that I won't share because people are rude, but I also beleive that Life has different meanings for different people. For me, my meaning involves other people. I have many special people in my life who I love very much, and who are great friends to me. I love helping people. It's just..my thing. That didn't really come up here, except in the form of "lack thereof." For other people I know, their meaning lies in God or in, in some sad cases, making a buck. Neither of those came up.

In truth, you could say that calling anybody with an alternative opinion narrow-minded is rather...narrow-minded. I can't blame people who have no words for what they're trying to convey and must resort to swearing because its the only words that give them power. Too bad for them.

Tips? A few, I guess.
Your characters looked a little bit....flat-affect. They didn't show a whole lot of emotion. You don't have to change a face a lot to express a lot of emotion. For instance, the mother character didn't look nearly as pissed off as she sounded.
I don't do a lot of flash myself, so I have no idea if that's really hard or not, but I've seen less complex faces show much more emotion. For something that is intended to be emotionally heavy like this, characters need emotion, even if subtly.

Overall, it was excellent. I liked it. It was a bit obtuse and hard to follow sometimes, but I suppose it happens to the best of us.
Good luck with future submissions, I will look foreward to seeing your work again.

p.s. (please don't quote me out of context.)

[You Don't Wanna Leave]

Really Good

This was really good. Nice and traditional like.
I really liked the song, but I can tell from the music quality that the artist isn't exactly popular yet. I hope that changes.

Sorry to review a review, but Danteku needs to chill out. The clicks were PART of the music, and I'd like to see him hand-animate something and make it look better than yours without severe computer intervention.

Overall, I really liked it. Good Job, Dude.

[Space Alligator Episode 1]

Umm....

Some pointers:
1st: Random humor is nice....and so is making fun of crappy cartoons....
2nd: This was 80% filler. (ie NOOOOO)
3rd: next time, come up with a plot that relies on actual jokes, not repetitive nothing.

I don't know how this got front page....things must be sucking for NG right now.

[Madness Inundation]

1 word: Anticlimax

That about sums this up. It swear, it's like you ran out of ideas or something. This was far from the epicness I've come to expect from you, Krinkels. Come on!
We all know you're better than this. This ending feels like a total cop-out. With the end of Madness 7, you could have extended for another long run, with or without Hank. Wrapping up a bunch of new characters in one episode? That's just getting lazy. Now, I'm not one to talk, because I can never figure Flash out so I've never made anything, but as a viewer, I was dissapointed.

[The Hinckley Challenge]

Oh yes.

I'm biased, cause I'm an M-to the-ormon myself, but it WAS good. Nice synopsis. But, how could you leave out......wait....nope. You're basically spot on.
Good work!
