"A unique look in on the "fetish" world."

submission: The Fat Anime Collab 3

date: August 20, 2008

The deranged, somewhat childish nature of the collaboration matches the art quality in a uniquely metaphorical way. While I'm not sure what message your group is trying to get across, I suppose the point is to show what some people would draw as their epitome of sexiness. While myself and most others will not understand why seemingly immobile women are sexy, this collaboration attempts to bring an understanding of these people. FatBadger and co. did their best, and most would say their message is crystal clear.The animation, while using a somewhat "shaky" style, sets the mood in on an unexplored experience, like a archaeologist exploring his first trap-ridden temple. While this is the 3rd of this series, it still feels as fresh as the first. Although the frame-by-frame technique is used somewhat less liberally than the motion tween, it still presents itself fairly well. The sounds are somewhat low in quality, so users who are used to "higher-end" sound performance may be disappointed.
Although it had an overall uneasy feeling about itself, The Fat Anime Collab 3 improves upon the writing and plot of the last 2 episodes, and has overall become much more "presentable" than its younger brothers. All things considered, it's strange subject, explained by a strange collaboration.

Score: 8

"I'm not clever enough for a witty title for this~~"

submission: Who Killed The Internet?

...and you would be in the weaboo faggot variety?

I do not enjoy stereotypes, mister "cloud109", but you nailed the "random" and "anime" people, in my opinon.
I would have appreciated something more on the hands, to tell that they were hands, as it was perplexing-looking at first sight. All-in-all, I think either smoothing the characters out, or adding a little more detail is the way to go for making this look good. The simple-like designs do not bode too well with the seemingly "hand-drawn" look unless animated substantially, in which this had more of the "tweened" animation more so than the frame-by-frame.
Sound was decent enough, except on the "random" people segment. Crackling is not appreciated~.
The concept isn't anything too new, but it is executed well enough that I found it at least somewhat amusing. I don't think it's a "hate machine" exactly, as alot of it wasn't anything "shocking" or "provocative", but I'm sure the people portrayed in this thing would be miffed a little.

However, this is pretty good quality for Newgrounds, and I suppose that is all that matters.

...I suppose I am an "enforcer", then.

Is there no middle-ground on this internet?

"To be frank..."

submission: Highschool Blood Donor

date: September 17, 2007

It was good character design and concept, but the generic "learning film" writing and rigid characters sort of killed it. The lipsync could bode some work as well, shape tweens don't look very attractive.
...why's this in "goth", it doesn't feel like it.
