[Asylum 3]

Some say its Intense...

But i say just a bit too far on the unrealistic side. I mean, the main stickguy was just godmoding lol. I mean, you cant make it seem realistic by allowing him to get hit, where as every other stick guy going down with one or two shots. Will can only keep you alive so long. Not only that, but the other sticks actions were so stupid that they deserved to die. I mean, when the next wave came in and surrounded him, what made them think it was a good idea to wait for him to pull out the handgun, cock it, and then cap one of them before they would shoot him? What the hell kinda asylum has armed guards walking around everywhere? And AK-47s in glass cases?! Why were the other "inmates" trying to kill him? How did they get out? If they werent inmates and actually guards, why would it be a good idea on their part, to go tooth and nail vs the guy with a AK-47?

I mean, the animation was intense and a lil extreme, and unrealistic for the sake of entertainment, some of my speculation might be tossed out because "it isnt real, wasnt meant to be real, and if I think stick men are real, then i should be in that asylum with them", but with the obvious attempts to make this seem realistic, the more "cartoony" portions stood out for me. Getting blasted with a shotgun at point-blank range to the chest/stomach once is enough to put any man down, regardless of their will or how much of stick figure they were. Let only 5 plus shots. And if i were the man behind the shotgun, after realizing the first shot failed to kill him, the next shot would be with the barrel against his basketball shaped cranium. Though when he did finally go for the head shot, the lunatic's head completely disappeared. Like, not any giblits, kibbles, or bits scattering, it just left existence!! lmao And even after that, you had the nerve to make it seem as though he were gonna try get one more kill, even with a nonexistent skull/brain/jaw/neck!!?? THIS IS NOT MADNESS!!! And even in madness, it just didn't go that far.

Overall, it was fine. I just had to mention all of that. 7/10, 4/5

thanks for the rant/rave material. I can spend the rest of this week in peace.

OMFG

I love it man. Loved the Music, and entire premise/concept behind it. I think it was wonderful and im sure tomatomoto has dreams like that at times. I think many of those in game dev have dreams like that, and im one of them. It kinda touched me and reminded me of my ambitions and the wonderful abilities of Video Games.

Good Job. 10/10
5/5

[GunChest Episode 01_02]

Megaman Much?

this seemed like it was inspired my megaman ALOT! The evil yellow Metas, The green bots being on the good side. Even the giant yellow bot running a-muck with the Zero/protoman clone looked like the Bot on Tron Bonne's team in Legends. But this isnt a bad thing. Im a heavy megaman fan so this is good. I'm not sure if this was done in 3D with Cell Shading or Drawn. I think some scenes were done with 3D while others were Animated. VERY Excellent Work. THough this wont effect your score, I would like to note that This NEEDS better Voice Actors.

Wonderful!

Wonderful because at the end, there was no terrible "shocking ending" that so many flashes have these days. No toy exploding and blowing heads off. No dog on dog rape. No asian people cooking them. No retard shock-jock move that is normally found in the midst of a heartwarming animation. Good Job, and excellent conveying of feelings.

Great animation

10/10 5/5, but in response to someone's comment, saying that people would find this racist becuz it only has one white character (thus far) sounds rather ignorant, seeing as most other animations, commercial cartoons, and theatrical films featuring real people dont even have a black person in them. only until recent have we all been seeing black people playing a good role in movies and very recently (and i mean VERY) have blacks been portrayed in anime AND not been there to make fun of us. I find it odd that this will provoke someone to utter "racist" when the roles are semi-reversed. And its not like the only white guy in the animation is placed for racist reasons, when there is the black guy with the scar on his face to allow us to assume otherwise.

Anyway, great animation.

JazLyte responds:

THANK YOU! Ain't it funny how it isn't racist until one of us has done it? Anime seems a little odd without a light-skinned person dominating the spotlight, apparently.

Black People plus Anime Equals

One of the most unbelievably awesome things. Im honstly sick of seeing a oddball pop-shots at our race within animations (commercial and non). Someone of African american decent is always there with enormous lips and making the rest of the cast look better by comparison. It is always nice to someone put us in a good role. I kno somebody will probably give some A-hole remark about race, but dont let them phase u in the least. And to also be given the fact that this will contain Christian stuff, is AMAZING too, but the idea of having both blacks and the cross in a flash series, may be a bit risky for the sake of the flash, however, by golly go for it man. 10/10 5/5 I cant wait to see the first installment, and if I could submit any voice acting, or music or anything to help u out, would be a pleasure. Good Luck

JazLyte responds:

Yea, man it took much debate whether I would include my faith in with black anime when really the only other comparisons out there is the overly expletive Boondocks or the overly violent Afro Samurai, I know that it'll come off a bit odd. Especially when the common sentiment is that if it involves God, it's conservative, fundamental, and watered down. But it'll be raw enough to be realistic without being over the top vulgar. Thanks man, I appreciate the sentiment.

[KLT Short: An Angry Gamer]

decent

im sure it will pleeze many. wasnt my kinda humor, but still funny to an extent

neonfox3 responds:

im perfectly ok with your answer, i was originaly going to use this scene in the first full episode but decided not to because i felt that it was lacking something, thank you for the review and i will do my best to make sure the first full episode is perfect.

[Super Mario Hyadain]

whatwhatwhatwhat excuse me?!

the luigi part was hilarious, and by far my favorite part. Great work. I rated a 10/10 5/5 becuz i found it be great on all levels. Very amusing. Verily Verily. I wish it was a bit longer, but i understand that the song isnt that long, unless you had someone edit and mix i a bit. otherwise, great work!

[Dollar]

funny

nice one

[|~SpeedAnim:BattleCool~|]

The....

screen play and writing were pretty good. though , most of the events just seem random, the parts in there are well done. And again... i must say.... GIVE THE GUY WITH THE MESSED UP NOSE SOMETHING FOR US TO CHEER ABOUT! he got his friggen leg cut off and shanked in the chest!? i think he should be a star in an episode. btw, the whole "in danger makes him sexy" thing, was amazingly hilarious. But the romantic part after was a bit cheezy however well played. Spike's got game i guess.
