shinobody's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[POV your life is over]

WTF

[Lego Scooby-Doo! and the Case of the Sniper Ghost]

This is freaking amazing, holy shit.

[VIRAL GENESIS (Mini Pilot)]

This is extremely promisting! I'm super excited to learn where this goes.

[Joust My Luc]

I absolutely love the exaggeration and visual storytelling on display. Reminds me of oldschool cartoon shorts like Looney Tunes.

[Ryder Revenge: The Beginning Part01]

As far as Madness style movies go, this is top tier. Props!

[r/Alchemy | Fullmetal Alchemist]

The jokes are kinda weak and the ending is gross. I mean, there are three jokes and an easter egg - that redditors are bad fat and ugly, Al killing himself with a water pistol, and whatever the fuck the ending was. And the one-frame easter egg of what Ed's posts are.

I think that concept has potential if it actually explored the Ed's character in more depth - Ed's literally a 15 year old edgelord atheist, and he lives in a universe where God objectively and inarguably exists. In fact he's an atheist who met God and yet he's still an atheist. That's potentially fucking hilarious if done right.

And if you really wanted to make a joke about Envy, aren't redditors immensely attracted to femboys and tomboys? And being attractive and androgynous is you know, Envy's entire deal?

Most of my gripes are with writing and storytelling, visually the animation itself is perfectly good.

I easily would've given this video 4.5 but the ending gag really brings it down. It's weird and gross and it doesn't work as a punchline.

[SBW: 1-1 Plungin' in the Dungeon]

I think it's important to recognize these sprites are actually done by the animator, rather than simply grabbed from the internet. Ironically enough, even "big" sprite animation channels like Dorkly and Lowbrow don't do that. (In fact, the Bowser sprite used in Dorkly shorts was actually done by the OP, and simply taken by Dorkly without credit).

[Banana Phone]

Great illustration of viral spread.

[Scott the Woz Anime]

Minor issue - sound mixing is weird, it seems as if music was way louder than the voices - it was kind of hard to understand what everybody was saying, I almost wished for REAL subs.

[Troll Science: Run Faster]

This is not troll science, troll science requires obvious fallacies and inane logic. With some explanation e.g. about how raw meat absorbs cheetah's DNA, or whatever - it would be - but it isn't now.
