"Easily the best looking thing on this site"

submission: the Last of the Dashkin

date: December 9, 2009

There's no argument that this cartoon is, and will remain, the most impressive piece of animation on this site until the next Brackenwood is released. But I am still compelled to drool over the amazing accomplishments made not just for a flash animation, but animation in general.
The evolution of storytelling from the other entries in the series is very interesting, and looks to amaze. I'm glad to hear that the wait will not be nearly as long. And I am thoroughly pleased to hear progressive news on the feature film, as it would be very exciting to see.
This cartoon is, in all aspects, gorgeous.

Score: 10

"Thank you for the book-end"

submission: Jerry: The End

date: November 3, 2009

I'm really glad to see this series come to an end. I have been worried every time a new one came out that it would ruin it for me. This one seemed fitting. It has a better balance of crude humor and genuine tenderness than the rest of the series had. The replaced ending clip made me very happy. I expected the old one and was already kind of heading toward being upset with it. The new one made me feel a lot better about the series as a whole. I'm very satisfied with this installment and the series.

"Homage, parody, or both?"

submission: Girlchan in Paradise Ep2

date: September 2, 2009

A perfect play on every cheesy cliche, flaw, and quirk of anime. Simply one of the funniest things I've seen on Newgrounds in a long time. Both to its benefit and its detriment, the dialogue is incredibly quotable. I can't wait for episode three.

Fantastic job, fellows.

Score: 9

"OOZES with style!"

submission: Tarboy

date: August 24, 2009

RAHAHA! See what I did there?

Seriously, though, very beautiful effects in this one. The lights out scene was incredible. I thoroughly enjoyed much of what I saw here. I hope for more in the future.

Score: 9

"One of my favorite series on Newgrounds"

submission: How to Hook Up the NES

date: August 4, 2009

The animation is top-notch, the writing is pleasant and enjoyable, the gags are entertaining and welcoming, and the whole thing has a nice, delicious layer of polish. I thoroughly enjoyed this cartoon, and look forward to future episodes.

Score: 8

"I agree, Transformers is gay"

submission: TF: Revenge of the Lolin'

date: July 14, 2009

While it's probably been said, I think the only thing I dislike is the way it feels so much like Egoraptor's stuff. The jokes were funny, the summary was good, and the voice-work was delicious. The visuals were serviceable, and for the most part probably were the best for what you were trying to do here. I imagine if they were any better looking, it might not be as funny.

Overall, swell stuff.

Score: 8

"Unexpected"

submission: Dimlight

date: July 13, 2009

That was much better than I was assuming going in. Most parodies are pretty terrible. Good stuff. I enjoyed the voice acting.

Score: 4

"What's the point?"

submission: The Monday

date: July 9, 2009

The visuals were lumpy and very poorly proportioned, the presentation was weak, and the joke was... I don't know, because I didn't even know when it happened. I honestly couldn't tell you what the point of this thing was. Nothing happened. This is the stuff people don't make cartoons about because it's boring.

There is nothing redeeming or recommendable about this cartoon. I wish I could say something nicer, but I can't.

Score: 9

"Great characters"

submission: Lil' Hoots

date: June 30, 2009

Animation, expressions, design, colors, characters, were all great. The cartoon was mostly funny and refreshingly G, though I don't think the comedy was as energetic as it could have been near the end -- it began to feel too sugary. Joshua Tomar's voice is pretty damn annoying too.

Overall, I loved it. I want more.

Score: 9

"A near-perfect homage to the Spaghetti Western"

submission: The Ballad of CrippleKane

date: June 29, 2009

Another nice fit for Van Harken's artistic style. With the look of a 1950s animated serial and the analogous color palette of the Wild West, paired with the iconic tunes, this short captures that love of danger and adventure that anyone can relate to. It definitely deserves the accolades it's sure to receive.
