Blessing's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Anime Leo & Satan]

The idea had a lot of potential, but of all the millions of ways you could have parodied anime it seems like you picked the worst possible tropes. I like the art a lot so I'll give you two stars for that, but the humor's rather dull, nothing very entertaining takes place, and Leo is either a child or a retard and I don't feel like watching either of those get raped... Twice...

I think the gay guy a few reviews before me hit the nail on the head. You went for shock humor waaayyyyy too much. I don't think there was any other kind of humor involved which is a big part of why this flash fell flat so fast. Not really any wit or being clever or anything, just a hope that if you threw enough violent rape at us it would become funny eventually. You have a lot of artistic potential and I hope you'll keep at it, but you should work on your writing.

Speedo responds:

Sorry, my writing sessions usually intertwine with my porn-watching marathons, its a mess

[Halo 4 Trailer Obsession]

Not bad for a first animation. I felt like there were too many lines in the faces but that could just be a style choice so I won't knock you too much for it. The animation was very smooth, which I liked a lot. The audio cracked a little here and there, but that was microphone related. The voice acting itself was good. The logic used at the end was.... Reasonable... Except it skips over the fact that every Halo game since the second one is boring anyway. I haven't seen the trailer for halo 4. I haven't seen screenshots for halo 4. I haven't even seen concept art for halo 4, but the fact that I know they're making one already makes me bored of it. That series needs to die.

BSTHEDOG responds:

Yeah, even though I'm not that type of person to get sucked into doing stuff just because my friends are playing it, it seems to be the case between me and Halo. Anyways, thank you for the very nice review! I haven't gotten one like this which points out flaws and things they liked. Very much appreciated.

[MotH: Tastes like Rhi]

I like the animation and the voice work. The character designs are... "Unique", and the backgrounds are plain, but the flash as a whole is good for the most part. I didn't like that your art style seems so inconsistent (half the time they have anime proportions and half the time they're suddenly chibis), but that I can forgive.

HOWEVER, your score gets cut in half because of unskippable opening credits that seem to take longer than the flash itself. Painfully irritating.

[Strong Pokemon]

This was pretty funny and the voice acting was good. I like the concept but you lose points for having such an inconsistent art style. It was like the characters were drawn by different artists every 3 seconds which really just ended up looking crappy. Work on maintaining a solid art style and you'll be well on your way to 5 star material!

[Dem Pokemons...]

I almost 5 starred this. The animation is really smooth. The flash is funny and being a pokemon fan (at least, fan of the original red/blue pokemon...) I thoroughly enjoyed this. Contrary to certain other reviewers, I thought the "fuck him up" line was funny and a little badass. The only thing that keeps me from hitting this with a 5 is the inconsistent art style. I liked what I assume is your "default" art style (since that's how the art looked most of the time) but the craptacular weird stuff (like when Pikachu rubbed his paws together) is just distracting and... Well... Bad. It would have been just as funny (funnier actually since it would be less distracting and creepy) and looked a million times better to keep it all in your regular style. I understand it was all intentional cause it's a trend right now to do on newgrounds, but I think it looks bad no matter who does it, so don't take it personally.

Still, that's a single blemish on an otherwise impressive work. Well done, sir. Keep up the good work!

[Elemental Battle Pt.1]

...Hmm... Well... This was really really REALLY short. Like, "a step beyond a single image but not as long as an animated GIF" short. My advice is to have a little patience before submitting your next flash. Make it long enough that it's entertaining by itself. You can promise "the next one will be longer" as much as you want, but if the flash you're showing off isn't long enough to capture anyone's attention then no one will believe you or even CARE that the next one will be longer. This isn't the site for hollow promises, bring your A game to every flash as if it's the last one you're going to make. (Unless you get well known like Egoraptor or something, then you can occasionally half ass flashes and people will still somehow love it.)
