sushisuke's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[FulpWare]

I actually quite liked this one. There were a lot of good entries and it's difficult to come across something so full of life on this site, something so passionately made without falling into the trap of "eh, it's nostalgia so they'll like it anyway" laziness. I would've given it 5 stars, but I had to dock just a few because I don't really like how you guys all huddle up on single bad reviews from literal nobodies. Very insecure.

Favorite entries were Salad Fingers by Mikel, WGJ4K by Claykid and Zone-Tan by Gabo.

You’re a nerd and smell like doo doo :)

[Evangelion Collab]

Newgrounds Evangelion is actually a pretty funny collab idea. There are a few entertaining things you could make with it: Staggernite's entry about Tankmen defeating Angels feels like a proper celebration of Newgrounds with an Evangelion theme and a lot of these people have pretty cute interpretations of the designs like Magibauble's absolutely hilarious cartoon showing Shinji as a dorky pizza boy. I can only say this about a few entries, though, because this collab seems to seldom grow past the typical flaws with Newgrounds collabs. The inside jokes here are reminiscent of how forced and lazy they were in the FF7 collab, as is some of the actual production.

I'm very impressed by some of these animators making solemn attempts at animating, or even just drawing, the EVA. KGBlagden has a particularly gorgeous one that tickles that little mecha otaku inside me. This sort of detailed mech art is always incredibly impressive to me, especially when coming from a platform (or from animators) I don't expect to make it look this good. Things like that make the collab a little more timeless and memorable... unlike Wanda's NFT monkey jokes. I'm sure you see my issue with the collab by now: the reliance on memes, inside jokes and dated humor rather than just making collab entries that stand on their own as funny parodies of Evangelion. That being said, I love the presentation in the bumps and transitions and can definitely feel a stylish passion behind some, if not most of these entries. There's not terribly much to complain about, but it's still very underwhelming.

[Dogs Without Babies]

I really like the posing and these designs are still very versatile but this isn’t good improv. It’s barely improv at all because it doesn’t build and doesn’t bounce: there’s no explanation of where “the baby” even came from (which could’ve led to more actual jokes) and it ends up being two guys repeating the same phrase and laughing in a Discord call that happens to be coated with easy but charming visuals.

If you’re going to do improv, I suggest actually building upon the premise “Mike and Spusky lose a baby.” Some more locations would be nice, too; Home Movies for instance really benefits from having a lot of locations, all set in one comfy town, full of props and weirdos to make jokes about or to add to the subject/point of the episode. This is just incredibly uninspired.

foneycone responds:

Solid feedback. While I did go for humor in mellow "empty" conversation, the different settings and interactions in between is something I'll definitely put mind to on any further episodes after the rest of the finished ones are released, IF I do more, that is. Thank you!

[The Stan Doraemon Collab]

delete my review again. do it.

Cokenutz responds:

DDDDDX I won't!!!!

[Gettin' Yeezy on a Friday Night]

why do you have white people voicing pocs?

OVERALL: RACIST
well this was a racist cartoon. please make more fluent and acceptable work in the future, especially considering your talent may lead you to be picked up by a major studio like pixar sometime sooner or later. thank you.

Alexmigo responds:

I am a minority you fuck

[Sleep Potatoes]

Low IQ

OVERALL: Creative
Well this was creative. I liked that it was 30 minutes, why is the charaters name "Meme"

SuperCodeman responds:

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it! I first created Meme-san while I was doodling at camp back in 2016 and thought "Meme" would be a funny name for her. I then created a short animation called "Meme" where she and everyone else would point at the word "Meme". A friend of mine suggested to give her name another pronunciation being "Meh Meh" which was brilliant!

[MindFuzz 3: Never Say Die]

Animation is cool because I watched a lot of cartoons growing up and as a grown-up now I have the opportunity to make cartoons for all the little kiddies out there. This """cartoon""" reminded me of why this dream is so hard to reach

OVERALL: Interesting
Well thiswas an interesting cartoon. Some of the parts were overly destructive and I honestly stopped watching after the guy spilled the coffee (what a waste of time.). Thumbs up but not a big one.
