[TANKMEN 1.5]

Twas okay.

I didn't really like the first Tankmen episode, and I have to say that this one wasn't a huge improvement. The jokes were too childish and immature for me to really find them funny, and as that seemed to be the central pillar of this animation, it sort of fell through.

Additionally the ending seemed to abrupt for me.

I hope that your next episode has sharper humor, but oh well. You certaintly get a lot of people to laugh and I'm just one out of hundreds. :P

On the other hand, the graphics and style of the animation were great. Practically flawless.

[3-2-1 Relaunch!]

Not particularly funny or exciting, but strangely-

satisfying.

I liked watching the animation. It wasn't that funny because it's hard to make characters that look like that actually be funny I would imagine. The graphics were very nice though, and everything flowed well. Good job here, and this seems like a possibility for daily feature.

JKR responds:

Glad you enjoyed it, even if the jokes didn't quite appeal to you. I'll try even harder next time to make them more all around funny. Thank you for taking the time to write a review!

[Catchy Tune]

Huh?

I don't understand the joke, if there was one. The graphics were nice though, but for some reason my sound was totally out of sync with the animation.

[Fat On Funyuns]

I couldn't understand what they were saying.

That was the main problem in my opinion: this movie had a serious need for subtitles or something of the sort, because all I could hear from the 'interviews' was something about being a loser and getting fat on funyuns. I think it had a good concept, but my lack of comprehension totally ruined it for me.

[The White, The Black]

Ending pulled it together

I liked it. At first it just seemed to drag on, but the ending was pretty clever and imaginitive since at first you seemed to set out that black was evil and white was good, but then doubled back on those thoughts. Pretty good overall, and the graphics had a nice funky style.

[Circles Versus Triangles]

8 overall cause you have a chance for underdog

I would have given you a 7, but instead I'ma give you an 8 since the differential between your score and reviews is so huge. Your animation was pretty good. I think you should have finished it off with a "choose the winner" type thingy, but other then that it deserves much higher then 1.85. I say improve your drawing abilities, and improve the battle scene with the axe and sword, and maybe give the shapes faces so you can see their emotions, and you could make something good.

[Skamarai]

What the... 2.0?

I think this deserves higher then a 2.0. It was the most satisfying low scoring movie I've ever seen. The graphics were pretty good quality and the sync between the music and the movie was great. If you ever do some more flash synced like this, but to a longer piece of music (with preferably more randomness) I'd really like to see it.

Fion responds:

With this being my first submission past judgement I've found that the more respectable reviews come in later. I'm Glad to hear you liked it. Hopefully I will be working on some more music vids (longer ones) and if you get the chance please submit to collections. Thanks for the review.

[-The Box-]

I think you should have combined them

You have two animations that are both in Judgement, but I think that if you would have combined them together they would have stood a better chance of surviving.

slowz responds:

yep!
