Anonymous-Frog's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Katarina has a date]

Minecraft Steve Not Included:

I will say, you did put a lot of work and detail into the animation and background effects (that's pretty much all non-shitpost animations), but it isn't perfect. I have only two very minor criticisms
1. Some paralax effects don't look right, such as with at the movie theatre, where some seats move left and some move right when the camera pans out.
2. Minor inconsistencies between scenes. Case in point, this scene in 0:48 where the guy's popcorn is gone. Note the thin lines and exaggerated faces, which differs from the next scene (0:56), with thicker outlines and a more anime-esque look. The difference is night and day, more than it needs to be.

There's also the "weird moaning anime noises", as the so-called "retards" point out. A common trope in anime that is often memed upon (look it up on the net), but personally, I don't think it's as egregious as they claim it to be, that I'd give it a full 0/5. Well, there are more blatant examples in other hentai movies that fit this trope better (not that I know of ;) )

If I have anything to say about this, it's this.
They're mostly kids, aged between 13-17, possibly younger. They shouldn't be watching this shit. It's lewd, essentially softcore porn. If the video says there's 3 Patreon-exclusive "extra scenes", that's a dead giveaway! Maybe you should give it an A rating next time so they can't access it.

PS: the Minecraft Steve resemblence is a coincidence. Not part of the review.

That's it! That's a review I can read!
Thanks for taking the time to analyze the video.

This is my second animation with clip studio and I'm still learning. The parallax effect is a little difficult for me. The difference in line thickness is due to the zoom of the camera, the first drawing was made with zoomed out. I can also improve more the movements and details, but I just haven't uploaded a video to my channel for a long time and I don't plan to make it perfect either haha.

Regarding the sound, there are many people who don't realize that it's not easy to find the right sounds. I could pay dubbers to do it but it would take longer, I would lose money and from my point of view I like the anime noises and I don't plan to change them. It only bothers me when people rate them low just because of that.

Thanks again for your review.

0:27: Screwdriver's phone appears behind the box for the 2 frames they overlap.

Foxcato responds:

Oh damn! Thanks for the heads up! I'll fix it right away.

[so um... where frog collab]

Late again

midgetsausage responds:

in true ng fashion

[Cash Harvest]

Animation does not contain any sound. More than eligible to go in the Art Portal.

RE: WebP exists.

tansau responds:

GIF is too large.

[Another TIme Music Video]

Cool song, interesting premise for the video (with it styled like a comic and everything), but has a few flaws.

The stickman dancing in 1:35 has very janky joints and the whole thing feels very stiff and bare at times. You could've done a whole lot more with these stickmen.

carbonlad responds:

This is all true; it was sort of a tradeoff between 'consistent imagery' and 'not wanting it to look like a flash movie'. I was never really good at making flash and I hope to improve

There will be better movies in the future, but not by much.

Thanks for your reply.

[4koma girls- T-shirt canon]

4koma girls? More like Glaucoma girls.

You can tell this was meant to be viewed on a phone in portrait mode. If you want to become a real chad, watch this on a widescreen monitor in windowed mode.

zachdewd responds:

Yes it's supposed to be viewed on mobile, but ALSO it's supposed to be viewed like a 4koma manga comic! Look it up, they usually look like this.

[Paradise Takes a Bite]

As evidenced by the comic this is based on, you are really good at drawing (well, drawing realistically-proportioned anime-esque characters and such, your shading's a little flat), but animation, not so much. This feels very stiff.

I recommend learning the 12 Principles of Animation (pay attention to principles 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, and 10)

I'm also gonna remove points for not having sound.

KittyhawkMontrose responds:

I'm so happy you like my art style, and that you think it's really good. And I really appreciate this thoughtful comment. I will consider what you have said so that I can improve.

[Late Night with D.Va Clock #7]

Tutorial's great, but it doesn't work on the porn that's rated M that steals Daily awards from us clocks.

Little-Rena responds:

Ban porn

[Dark Magic Dance]

Two words: Art Portal.

As much as I appreciate the animation quality in this 10 second loop, which is great, this is still a 10 second loop, which I’m v0ting accordingly. “Short form content” or whatever you want to call it, is on Newgrounds, an easily exploitable format that takes away from the hard working filmmakers and animators on the Movie Portal and is generally considered low-effort by the community.

I would recommend posting this stuff on the Art Portal, with a YouTube embedded version with sound.

horizon-hugger responds:

Well then what's the point of the "This is a loop" functionality when you upload a movie? I don't see why would they have that function if short loops weren't welcome here. Youtube doesn't have auto-looping by default anyways and it's likely few viewers would click the link.

[Mario shoves a jar up his ass]

The good ol' fashioned shitpost does give a lot of laughs, but if that's all you do, you'll never go anywhere in life.

The most I ever got was 3.2 stars and I never thought once that this would be front-page worthy. Don't let the score, and the reviews go to your head and assume this is the peak of all animation or some shit, but do take the time to properly improve your work, whether it's to use better colours, draw more backgrounds, learn anatomy, and otherwise try to make a "good" animation, MS Paint or otherwise.

Click that Zzz emote if you agree with me, because I'm getting bored of this too.

onixm responds:

Woah, I like the comment you made here, I’m going to listen to you and take your advice
