Ozone's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[BUG BOMBED]

Glad this finally made it to NG!

[Fleet Victory Animation]

Well done! Very cute character acting.

[StarQuest Ep3]

This deserves to be a NG series for how well written and executed its presentation (VA work, backgrounds, economic use of animation/art is all amazing) and this is not said lightly!
But to see the creative lengths you've gone through to make a scene without having to animate a person walking or running are so baffling it's straight up impressive. Well done with episode 3, hope the rest of year treats you better.

[Sacagawea]

Wow actually got me with that loss joke and the wild a beast shooting pretty good stuff man! Yolo man

[COOL TIMES: FUNNY GUY]

I should get startled on some soup myself!

[BLOOD SPIRAL Finale 1-1]

Thank goodness the Finale!

And since it looks like you've gotten little to no feed back on almost EVERYTHING you've made up to this point I'll give some:

Your work seems to be style over substance. The only reason I'm here commenting on this video right now is because of the art portal submission: BLOOD SPIRAL Finale 1-2
which showed a great 3d shader character animation. HOWEVER I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON

"Bro what's going with his hair?" says the shapeless silhouette to the other shapeless silhouette. I guess we'll assume that Tune is diffrent from everyone else, but the only evidence we have is what we're being TOLD not SHOWN

The backwards text to speech voices are slightly grating but stylistically they work, the anime dialogue is rudimentary and more of that "Tell don't show" school of writing. Gorgon Brains seem cool, but uhhh what are they for? You know what, for that matter what is a Gorgon? Where are we? Chroman particles? What was that lightning cummin outta yah!? Bro Neptune is packing an extra long schlong and for what? Casey looks cool, but it still doesn't explain who that furry fox character from earlier is because nothing is explained. Why would one assume that Millennium Labs won't save them? "Don't trust Mill Labs" Water rations are running short? Who gives those rations? Millennium Labs? Do they control the water supply? What did Tune do to the well? Some electric shows up and then I assume Gorgon's arrive to defend the water supply? AIEEEE I'M YIIKING OUT BRO

The style overhaul will probably bring more attention to your work so good work on that. But the writing is confusing, the sexual overtones will deter causal viewers, and the choppy animation while stylistic and slightly entertaining doesn't read entirely well at parts. (The part where Neptune pushes down the two shapeless silhouettes to save them from the Gorgons we don't see what Neptune is saving them from so it reads as Tune just piledriving them into the ground)

Hopefully the future episodes of this "Finale" Fantasy you're making will explain more of what's happening here and judging by the teaser image of 1-2 we'll see more of what CASEY'S PACKING BOING YOING YOING and the animation you're doing is a big improvement, but so far as what this is you need to write more to an audience who can't see into your head. You clearly got a lot of what's happening here in there, but making it understandable will be the first step towards helping people want to see more.

ZodiaWave responds:

THANK YOU! Finally, some issues I can actually pinpoint instead of the usual guess work. All seriousness yeah, def looking into all this.

Only thing I'll say is that I'm well aware that the sexual nature's gonna make this niche as hell. Besides, several episodes are set to be A-Rated so it's kinda unavoidable. If it means avoiding a teen-dominated fandom like the plague, that's a price I'm willing to pay.

But yeah, again for real, thanks for the feedback man, this actually gave me a LOT to think about going forward.

[Dumpster Fire]

Tell your story g.

[Ewe and Eye]

Backgrounds and graphics were good and so was the music played in the backgrounds. Animation was rudimentary.

Listen you do you. But having 17 disclaimers pleading to give something a chance on it's own merits isn't going to do anything but bring attention to what could have already been lacking. Ironically the video was not too fast to understand but paced a smidge too slow and all the jokes were forced harder than me trying to think of a joke to make typing this.

Nice work everybody, dexta believe in yourself and you work. Don't cower behind disclaimers and apologizes when it is fine. Is it worth 5 stars? No. Is it worth 4? Maybe with better pacing to the jokes and improved animation bits sure.

[Inside job in a nutshell]

Forgot to include funny dolphin morph general guy Zero stars.

[RED VS GOLD (EPIC))]

THIS IS GARBO

Humor subject blah blah, but I fee like the bits should have time to breath for the punchline. Even that pelo guy still has a rhythm to his funny haahahahas

You've got the flash/terminal montage/pelo/phantom arcade/ Speedo sausgeg/ EGORAPTORSTLE down so the presentation looks good at least

Duuhhhh but in saying that the animation suffers for it because just like pelo/terminal cancer it's just symbols ya dig? No hate, loved the red chest reveal, but you kno whole lotta keys no betweens you feel me? Lotta easin and teasin, squashin stretchin

Pretty epic so I vote 5
