Zoukeau's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Shibahige]

I think it does get better overtime. I wish some loops didn't as last as long: the tail swing and the goomba stomp stood out too much for me. My favorite part is probably the melody that starts at 1:00.

[A Man Goes to the Store to Buy Some Milk]

Milk truly connects us all

[Blank #2]

It's a beautiful track, very calm and pleasant to my little ears. I have to admit for a moment I thought that multiple animators worked on this, both your drawing style and animation technique seem to change as the video goes: first you animate your character walking by sliding him around, then later you give another a fully handdrawn walkcycle. The line colour, strength and thickness also seem to change all the time, and the colours of just your main character seem a bit all over the place as well.

Correct me if this is wrong, but I have a suspicion that you didn't make these shots in chronological order, but we can still see you change and evolve as an animator. Because of that, it is strangely fascinating.

[Playground Fight ( Miltonius / Nulgath vs Dage )]

I think the character animation works well and the effects are great. The lighting on the characters is well done too.
What's cool is that there is always something moving, which makes it pleasant to look at. Maybe there's too many camera movements being used but I think that's just me.

I wasn't sure about some of the dialogue though, it doesn't seem right to respond to someone who's called you a coward with "You're not the boss of me."
Also "Come at me bro" will never sound intimidating ',^j

MiltoniusArts responds:

Thank you! :) Yeah the dialogue was full of inside jokes and forced dialogue to tell a fragmented story. But the animation was fun to make.

[4 Seasons Jackalope Whimsy]

You certainly have an interesting style, and it does look like you tried a whole lot of different techniques with AE. It's a great program that you can use for so many things.

I'm sorry for the other guy in the review who was rude to you. But I agree with him that your description comes over as condescending, even though you say it's not meant to be.

BlackUniGryphon responds:

I thank you for taking your time to write a comment. You seem to sympathetic, and civil. So, thanks again for that.

Not to come off as seeming to spin this stuff.... but, did you miss the part where that kid equated being a Mom/Dad to a a woman spreading her legs?

You seemed to have omitted any commentary on this.

Would you disagree that this is condescending?

[Rootin' Tootin' Christmas | Root & Digby]

I think the voice acting is great, the animation is nice too. I wasn't sure about the backgrounds at first, but after rewatching I realise I only dislike the view of the house from the outside, I'm struggling to express why. Maybe the colours are too soft, maybe it's too blocky and simple, maybe the lines contrast too much? I'm not quite sure.

[The Frog Prince (HD)]

Hmmm, I think the joke would work better if the animation would be snappier. Like you could exaggerate his face even further and make the tongue lash out really quick, keep the tongue and fairy suspended for a bit, and then quickly snap it back into his mouth. The chewing is also a bit strange to me, since he hunts like a frog but doesn't chew like one, maybe he should just swallow the whole fairy instead.
Soundwise, the music you used is a bit too recognizable to me (though I ironically don't even know the name of the piece), but to others that probably fine. As for the scream, I think it should be a shriek because of how quick this should happen. Your backgrounds are also pretty basic, and not consistent either.
The joke worked though, made me laugh a bit. But I think it could be better :j
