Asterantha's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[A Child Vampire's Lament]

VERY well done!

Dark, emotional, fascinating -- I find myself wanting to hear more about her life. The violent, edgy lines really compliment the mood of this piece. SO well written, and what an interesting origin story.

Abby is clearly a complex character -- both sympathetic and monstrous. Bravo!

[Cute Explosion]

Brilliant!

I love your popculture references -- like the Double Ranbow Guy and Keyboard cat!

The animation was great....it was very fluid and well-put together. Excellent presentation and good music!

[24 in 24]

So creative!

Yet again, you two make an excellent pair (no wonder you're married)!
The variety is quite diverse, and each little clip contains both wonderful music and art direction. Ranging from silly to action-packed to thoughtful, you really keep us involved, even with such short stories.

To be perfectly frank, I think we'd all like to see each clip as an entire short of its own.

[Tarboy]

Brilliant and engaging!

From the meaning to the plot to the animation to the music...everything was flawless. The characters were interesting and expressive, the movement was fluid and the entire video was phenomenal!

The music gave just as much, for the effect simply wouldn't have been as powerful without it. There's so much that needs to be said, but I'm just too amazed to formulate it. If there's ONE thing about this that I have to blame you both for...it's the fact that the songs are so catchy! They're all stuck in my head. :)

I eagerly await the sequel!

[Lament for a Toy Factory]

Fantastic!

Extremely well animated and darkly hilarious!
The ONLY problem I had with this was that it sometimes happened to be difficult to hear the dialogue. The music -- although wonderful -- was possibly too loud...again, making it difficult to hear what Steel was saying.

But beyond that minor issue (and maybe others didn't encounter the same problem), it was wonderful!

[The Mockingbird Song]

Excellent

The voice-reading was incredible. Clear, toneful and the accent was a wonderful addition.
The entire story was very atmospheric and well-drawn.

There were so many good levels to this story.

[Penguinzz 1]

Cute

It's pretty cute. Not bad, but it's desperate for a grammatical editing and also a spell check. For example, there is no such word as 'civillions'. At least, not in English. But maybe it's Penguin? And I think, at another point, you meant, 'conspiracy'. There are more of these discrepancies.

In any case, it detracted slightly from the overall value of what you have. In reality, you've got a very good concept. It just needs more polish. And maybe some sounds. =/

CubePanda responds:

I sort of rushed the whole thing, the second one (if I ever make one) will be MUCH better

[Thracia LARP Gallery]

I could tell you all had fun

The costumes really aren't bad at all, but it's the fact that everyone looks like they were having a blast is what really makes the slideshow.

I don't think this quite the place for it, but it was nice to see.

[Brow Birdy]

It's a really good place to start

It's more than I could do, and it's really not bad at all -- I just think you needed to go farther with it. I understand the time limit, but I suggest that the 'to be continued' part (if it IS going to be continued) be filled with a little more depth. Sound, again, would be nice. But, barring that, at least some vaguely suitable music would serve just as well.

Like I said, it's a really good place to start...but next time, go with it a bit farther if you can!
