I liked it alot. I'm a huge Dragon Ball and DBZ fan. This episode was so accurate and the sprites were simplistic which gave your flash video an original feel. I loved how you put the audio from the original dialogue.
I don't like the fact the fact that you did the series out of order(Yes, I stopped in the middle of this review to watch the other episodes). I was going to say it's a damn shame that your stopping right before Nappa and Vegeta show up. But you covered those fights already(without saying "Over 9000" tsk tsk).
Good job with this video, however. I look forward to your upcoming flash collab.

I can tell this took a lot of time and effort. It's not a flash animation, but I know that NG is a place where users submit alot of their creative ideas. Who the heck am I to tell you that this should go on YouTube and doesn't belong on Newgrounds?
I really liked watching it. If you ever figure out how to put this custom level video as a flash game, that would be awesome. I'm sure everyone would love to play this level through a couple times.

I saw this episode not too long ago and I must say the accuracy is uncanny. The animations of the facial expressions and body movement complimented their emotions down to a tee(sp?).
The fact that you managed to do this art work with a MOUSE is unfathomable. The small details weren't there(landscape) but I'm not gonna mark you off for it. If you were to follow this up with a tabulate, you would make jaws drop.
You have talent and if this is something you enjoy doing, I suggest that you pursue it as a career. Your talents will take you far.

You made an awesome holiday flash. It was short and simple. It featured familiar lovable characters up to shenanigans. Who doesn't love that? Your music choice was perfect: Click Clock Wood from "Banjo Kazooie". You managed to keep it clean so everyone could get a little Thanksgiving laugh. This was quite short, but I see that as a good thing. If it was any longer you would be dragging it out and you may have lost the quality of humor.
Summary: Perfect length. Great choice of music. There is Beauty in simplicity. It was clean and still funny. 10/10!

I can tell you weren't going for an in depth Mortal Kombat fighting system(although that would be really awesome). You were going for something small, comical, and a ventilation system for those who wanted to punch Kanye in the face. I still felt like there was an element missing. Alot of people have requested the actual audio, but haven't taken into account the sound quality. I believe voice actors are always available on Newgrounds(don't quote me on that), if you don't want to voice act with a friend. The animation reminded me of caricatures. That isn't a bad thing, it is a unique quality in flash games. I think my main problem and this is a big one. You had one attack. I was a little let down that there were no punches or kicks. Also, I'm not saying this game should have been gory- but there should be some type of physical reaction to being hit with an award. Overall not bad, but it has very little(if any) re-playability.

Unfortunately, I can't help you as far as action scripts go. I am more of a flash video... connoisseur or a flash junkie. I'm not useless though. I'll give you my best input.
During your fight scenes you put in dialogue; this pauses the video and makes the fight less interesting. I can only imagine that you write out the dialogue before you put the flash together. Next time I suggest rereading it and asking yourself "Is this absolutely necessary?"
When you take out a bit of dialogue you'll have time for more action during your fight scenes and regular movement in general. I really like what you did in the middle of the fight with Naruto and the close up stare down effect. People are afraid to step outside of the sprite animation box. I still think that effect needs refining. I could see a bit of your original background on the side.
Ther is one more thing. You might not think it's a big deal. but it is kinda huge. Your opening screen is the first thing people see before watching your flash video. Opening screens are book covers and we very often judge books based on the cover. So if you have an interesting title screen that is appealing it will make your flash look more appealing. You had 3 blurry pics of Sakura, Naruto, & Sasuke. Having Google images isn't the worst thing in the world but don't be afraid to spice them up in Photo Shop.
You definitely can make this work if you have the drive. Remember, I'm no pro at flash (I like to think I'm satisfactory at PS though). I hope my advice was worth typing. Good luck and Godspeed.

I look forward to this series as well as other flash animations. Don't give up. 2005 was along time ago, but it's never too late to get back on track.

I'm curious. Why didn't you buy the tickets at the door, since you got screwed over the summer before?
All nonsense aside, I love this video. You are a talented flash animator and I intend on looking at more of your work.

I can tell that you thought alot about every aspect of this character and how his body would respond to the environment & the situation. You took into account that it was dark and illustrated dilated pupils. You were able to tell a story using body language alone, and I am highly impressed. He didn't need to say "This monster is so strong," or "What is this thing?" or say anything when he was at the ambulance. You made it possible to almost get inside your character's head. We could tell alot by his breathing patterns and facial expressions. Don't get me wrong I have seen many great flash artist, but few have been so incredibly professional at telling a story without saying a sing word.

An excellent review! This will help me a lot in my future movies.
I now realise that I could have easily voice-acted the character to speak his thoughts and had some sort of cheesy monologue at the end, but from the very start I knew that a silent protagonist would make more of an impact. Somehow it never occurred to me during the making of this movie, the idea just came to me naturally. Maybe I'm good with storytelling like this.
But wait, the character DOES speak in this movie: he kind of muttered "What was that?" :)
