[Life with Navi]

Originality?

How did this flash manage to get front page? There are already 20+ flashes out there that have the annoying navi joke. 5 of those were popular. So what on earth makes anyone enjoy seeing a flash dedicated to that one friggen joke? is there nothing else to make fun of in Orcarina of time? Nice animation and drawing, just... the joke is so worn out, it reminds me of my Xgirlfriend.

ArtistGamerGal responds:

its me. your exgirlfriend >:D

[Birthday 18]

okay... well.

for one, there is no draft for those who seem to think this is serious, for 2 the legal drinking age isnt 18... in most states at least. And third, Im in the air force (not a pilot yet) and ya, the Army can kiss my Blue ass. As well as the Marines. And the navy would feel more comfortable sucking Seamen out of me.

Join the Chair~~ i mean, Air Force today. And for the person who mentioned below about chicks... The air force has the Chicks. Im giving a 6/10 for the down play of the Army.

LazyMuffin responds:

I'm in Israel, there is a draft and drinking age is 18 here. ALL TRUE BRO.

I'm not into bombing small villages, sorries.

[Did You Hear That?]

Nice

Though it must have funny when all of you submitted your ideas only to realize, most of you generally thought up the same thing for the sequence of sound. At first, i didnt even know it was a preset sequence until the rubber duck and eagle thing got on my nerves. Very imaginative concept. 1up (period [dot])

Graeme responds:

I think hosting this through PMs was the best way. People didn't see each others parts, and I didn't have outside input from the forums. We worked to our hearts content

[Haven't Got A Prayer, pt2]

well

I cant say i appreciated the black guy in there. Its a shame much of the world view as being ignorant and violent thugs. Ya, that is the case in areas, but if u really get to know the stereotypical black male, u will discover it isnt that simple. People know right from wrong, if you read the bible, u'll discover any sexual act other than missionary position (penis ->vagina) is not acceptable, and concidered sodomy, but who really cares right? alcohol isnt accepted either. its a common misconception actually. What is referred to as "wine" in the bible, is actually the equivalent of grape juice. Jesus killing himself was just dumb and ya, offensive. Him being a pansy also is pretty rude.

On another note, why does it seem that whenever Jesus or Christian Lord (God) is involved in a comedy, they always enter with no idea whats going. As though Jesus left and never looked back and God has been asleep this whole time? I think Many people believe they arent watching. And that they will just "return" to attain a bunch of glory and worship. Yes, i can understand the humorous value their characters potentially have, but it is just pretty negative most cases.

The religious man is usually a target for scrutiny and being patronized. Nobody really wants to be the guy that tries hard to follow his religion. I don't think religious tendencies ever hurt any body (aside from jews... poor basterds).

Guess this is a portrait of a world view.

Slackman responds:

The black guy was not intended to be a representation of the entire race, but rather of the violent "gangsta" element of society. I considered him to be an individual within the story, a satirical element used to make a relevant point about a specific sub-group of people within society.

This isn't about reading the bible, but rather the stances that people take after reading it or pretending to read it. The fact is that plenty of people interpret the bible in different ways, as proven by having the countless different sects of western religion. If I was going for accuracy within the bible, I would have drawn a black Jesus. This is rather based on the oppressive interpretations of the bible that have popped up over the years since its creation.

I couldn't tell you why other people depicted Jesus or the Christian God in this manner (although I can think of many examples off the top of my head where God is very aware as to what's going on).

The religious man is a victim of scrutiny, partially because he sits on a high horse scrutinizing others. Do unto others, right? However, if you think that religious tendencies haven't ever hurt anybody, then perhaps you've never heard of a "holy war"? Terrorism perhaps? I'm not going to argue here though. Sorry you didn't like it.

[In the street]

Loved IT

Omg, if the music was fresh enough for me, the stair case run did it. And the poor guy's reaction when he woke up in the big guys arms was sheer hilarious! The plot was simple and straight forward. It was easy to interpret what the characters felt, even without any sound! great work. I would love to see a longer one though.

Kde777 responds:

Thanks a lot. I haven't enough to make voice acting. My way to talkin is a little bit "sorry, what did you say?" and my.. english is not so good enough. But enough to write it. I don't know.. yes I have another proyects to finish. I'll see what i can do. I'm really inspired. :D

[DevilSlayer V-1]

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.

[//Necropolis Prelude]

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.

[The Mario Kart Showdown]

nice

the lyrics to the song were nice and, and the animations were well on key with the beat. My only problems were that, maybe the sprites could have been bumped up a bit with some nicer ones. And the other thing, holding this back from page, if not a good classic, is the singing is not that great. milktoast all the way. U should, in all honesty and recommendation, find someone with a better singing voice and maybe some better quality sprites, throw it back together, and u'll have something really good. Pimp my flash.

Objection responds:

milktoast? Is he a good singer?

[halo fraud]
