you do not disrespect my friends you piece of shi-

[KAFEEN]

Bomb-bastic! Reminds me of the good ole days of Aeon Flux and Heavy Metal. Loved every second of it. I'd work a little bit on the sound quality, and the "fluid" dynamics of walking, but I'd say you've got the idea down pretty damn well!!! Hope to see more quality work like this in the future.

TaraGraphika responds:

I loved both Aeon Flux and Heavy Metal. I'll try to work more in the sound quality...or hire someone to do it for me. But thanks for watching, There will be more. Stay Tune~~

[Pokemon or Something?]

This is a good reimagination of Egoraptors style.

If your response to that is, "I'm just learning" then my response is, "Cute, still a reimagination."

It's cool to learn and to emulate styles of people you enjoy, but for fuck sake get your own jokes and try a different style of acting, animating and humor. Spazdick is just as bad, so his little hub-bub is like a bunch of horny dogs sniffing their own asses and telling each other how great they smell. It's a rip-off, plain and simple. Admit to it, get the fuck over it, and continuing ripping off people until you have your own style. Don't lie to your audience, or to yourself like Spazkid has.

Now that that's that. The animation was done rather well. A bunch of choppy parts which weren't nice to look at, and some rather unfinished frames here and there, but overall the movement was smooth and pleasing. If this had some more polishing I would've rated higher.

The writing had some funny parts. Nothing really clever, just reusable jokes with reusable characters. There was nothing really new about content either. Pokemon is a long fucking game. Go play it, joke about something no one else has. The "God damn Dexter, you're so informative" part makes me laugh every time. It's nice to hear a fresh under exaggerated joke. What is an over exaggerated joke?

Anything Egoraptor does. IE. Nurse "Derp" Joy. I got enough of that humor in the Awesome Series. People who've never seen the awesome series are going to like this, but most of the audience on newgrounds will ask you to stop picking up Ego's toilet paper sketches and turning them into cartoons.

I wasn't going to say anything at all, but Spazkid and his little fiasco of blatant rip-offery "this is inspiration" made me want to vomit just as much as his "go ahead and do it and be proud" bs. It's not about being proud, it's owning up to the fact that you've done nothing original. Yeah you wrote it, yeah you animated it, but come on. No go ahead and click the little minus "bad review" button cuz I hurt your feelings.

Keep animating, just do something the rest of us haven't seen 1000000000000 times.

Screwits responds:

Thanks for the feedback on my animation I agree with the flaws it had,cause it was rather rushed,cause I knew Egoraptor was making a PokeAwesome 2 as I was making this at the time I was in the middle of making it as he made the offical announcement.So I didn't want to get bashed for making a Pokemon animation cause our all mighty god egoraptor was out there making one.and I didn't want to get more grief than I already do for making this Pokemon thing even exist.

Now that that's that.I have to disagree on something you said,that made you come off as ignorant. Like big time.

You said to not use the style of animating that Egoraptor uses,which is what? Bouncy movement,anatomy bending,stretchy and lively,colorful and free,wacky and zany,fun and "awesome". So basically don't make a,CARTOON. That's everything that defines a cartoon. Something wacky and something you cant do in real life. something that you cant even come close to doing in real life. Something fun to look at?

Egoraptor took something from old cartoons like ren and Stimpy,Spongebob,looney tunes show and all of those classic gems(with the exception of Spongebob which is fucking gay now,no like literally) and put it on the internet. He didn't fucking define the "style" you keep going on about,he just POPULARIZED IT. Hes making a cartoon hes always been doing that and crazy kids like you are like "Whoaaa he did something new that's existed sense FOREVER" uh ooooh break through! Im not "upset" about you "hurting my feelings" I'm flabbergasted that you HONESTLY believe that Egoraptor is some big shot celebrity that us animators shouldn't even think of crossing paths with,hes not.

and everything Spazkid said is true,hes not fooling himself or his audience,hes stating the obvious. Apparently your too blind to see that.So im guessing based off what you said, Egoraptor(fuck im saying his name alot) isnt very original himself then,cause he borrowed alot aspects of animation you just don't believe others shouldn't follow also.

[GROWIN' UP (NATA '12)]

Awesome animation! Great story telling. Not really sure what was around the corner though. Cthulu?

VieRickend responds:

That'd be really cool, but no, it's an elephant. Like the metaphor "elephant in the room"

[Not so Happy Ending]

This is great. Only people who rate low didn't get their happy ending.

Jae responds:

Hahaha niiice one thanks!

[Pelvishelmet & Lettucehat]

I can't believe this isn't getting better ratings. This is awesome! I'd love to see more of this kind of work from you guys.

EsMatiCSounDs responds:

Thank you! :D. There is more on the way

[Dear, Princess]

Hahah! I totally thought the door was going to open and it was going to be Jesus and that this was going to be some sort of parody. I knew it was Jesus, hands down. This is totally written from a Christian perspective, so that's why you missed all your non-religious viewers.

This was a great cartoon, and I think it was a good message for lonely people on Valentines. Jesus is da-bomb, I just don't like Christians very much. :) Good job.

exninja123 responds:

thanks! :)

[Egorapture]

Wow. I was in the credits and you really took the time to photoshop my score into a Zero when I gave you a 5? So you got caught emulating someone you enjoy? Big deal. The fact that you gave it so much credidation to make a parody really leads me to believe that you did exactly what everyone accused you of.

Even though I didn't give you a zero, I still stand by my statement to make something that has your original style. You're an awesome author and have funny ideas. Using other's work as a stepping stone is great, but when people watch your work and think it's someone else entirely, you should probably just give up and work for that other person.

I tried and got good reviews and shit reviews. That's what happens. If something works for someone else, figure out why it worked. Don't just do what they did. That's lazy and hard to respect.

As for this flash animation, I love it! I really wanted to make a parody of all the stupid ass critiques I got on my animation as well, glad to see someone do it right. Maybe we could collaborate on an idea I have! I need someone whose funny and witty with script writing to help the ideas come to life. I'm looking forward to some completely orginal work from you, I'm sure it will be awesome.

Spazkid responds:

paul did the editing hes a liar!

[Weird classmate]

Great Loop!

I like how clean the lines and animation are. Kudos. I'll be sure to check out your other work.

Alakamame responds:

thanks but the other videos sucks :P
no really, the other videos sucks ._.

[Recurring Dream]

WTF

LoL! I thought this was funny, but it was short and weird. Given your prompt though I suppose it fits right in. You had decent animation and your backgrounds were great. Had this been a little more fleshed out I would give you 10/10. Keep up the good work :D

Gerkinman responds:

Thanks buddeh.
