Tonash's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dan's Fanfiction]

Pretty solid!

Animation and audio synched together nicely and you brought life to a memorable Steam Train moment.

[Guncross Trailer]

Ok, Positives:
The art style is good. The animation for the most part is good for what it is.

Negatives:
First off, as you said in the description, the audio seemed very grainy and subdued, like it had been recorded using a camcorder or phone from being played somewhere else. Thematically, the music fit, but the pacing was off so it really made it stand out.When it comes to trailers, the music synching with the visual queues is almost as important as what's being shown on screen. The pacing seemed to be picking up as the city panned, leading to some dramatic moment and then... peaceful view of a train going through the city. The purpose of a trailer is to get people interested in your final product and the best way to do that is to punctuate several dramatic shots in conjunction with dramatic points in the audio track that runs with your trailer.

I think you've got some talent and I'll look forward to seeing your final product when it arrives.

Yea I converted the file using swivel, I didn't the sound would be that bad :(
Thanks for the feedback

[Regular News Debate]

Always a fan, Apps.

It's not the funniest out there, but it stays true to reality, as that's pretty much what debates wind up becoming nowadays.

Thanks for another good vid.
:D

[Cooper the Creeper]

Oh man.
Apps, thank you.
I've been a fan of yours since Renegade Awesome. I was having a terrible evening and then I saw this and instantly my night was revived.
Thank you again for providing me with a laugh when I really needed it.

[Action Bunnies]

Fantastic

I haven't logged into Newgrounds in quite a while, but I saw this on the front page and looked at it on a whim... My God I am glad I did. Instantly added to favorites. This is the kind of humor that takes some talent to pull off because if it's done wrong, it's just stupid.
This flash though: Timing was perfect, the inflection of the voices were brilliant. The jokes were random and pulled off beautifully.
Congrats on making a great piece of work.

[Awesome Reach]

Why?

Okay. I understand the humor intended, or at least I believe I do. Due to all the Halo junkies out there, this is a fun exaggeration (somewhat) of the biggest fanatics and their reaction to bringing the game home for the first time and getting their fix.

Now, while, as always, the animation is fluid, the quality is lessened (possibly intentionally) due to the exaggerated speed. Now, this same type of speed which has come to represent the "Awesome" series, works in several earlier pieces, due to the small amount of "OMFGWTFAHHHHHH" spasms that were present in them.... rather than making the entire flash one of those seizures.

To be perfectly honest, my favorite part of this was the buildup at the very beginning, and then expecting a good joke or two before a rapid finish. To my disappointment, all I received were shouts and grunts with no intelligible dialogue.

Now, I've been a huge fan of your work, Egoraptor, since the very first MGA when it first debuted on Newgrounds. I'm not flaming nor do I think this is a failed piece, I just wish it could have been improved beyond just a rabies-foaming acid trip to the original mix of craziness + sarcasm/witty humor.

Just a concerned fan hoping that a beloved series doesn't get abused.

[TmsT's "Spy & Pyro"]

Oh My God, best punchline ever.

I was teetering on either side of the fence while I was watching this, because even with the excellent visuals, the "Love Machine" part of the movie dragged on a bit too long (still worked fine though), but then, the ending... My God, I wasn't expecting a pun of that quality, nor could I have.

You sir, win the internet.

[the Last of the Dashkin]

The Best Bitey thus far

As per usual, the graphical quality is beyond unreal. In addition to that, this is the first time that true, visible plot has been brought to light. Not only granting us a synopsis of Bitey's life, but also his origin and an attempt to reveal that there's much more to come than simple forest life. In addition to that, the narration was done with a flawless quality, even in some of the better works of Newgrounds, occasional mic problems occur or some editing was left undone, but here it was simply flawless.
Prior to this episode, I viewed the series only out of the sheer awe for the mastery of the art and animation of the videos. This installment however, has brought new life into the series and I anxiously await the next arrival in the collection.

[Dr. Mario with Lyrics]

Wow, that was excellent

I really really loved this video.
The song and lyrics were well thought out and witty, the animation was smooth and absolutely in sync with the song. My only beef with the sound is its a little difficult to hear/understand at the very beginning, but clears up fairly quickly.
While the art itself wasn't top-notch, it certainly was excellent, especially considering the fast-beat tempo that it was keeping time with.
Keep up the great work and I look forward to seeing more.

[Tarboy]

Truly epic

This flash is by far the most well produced, animated and prepared piece of work I have ever seen. It rivals the Bitey series in its utmost quality. I truly hope you continue your work. I anxiously look forward to the next installment.
