Congrats
Your style seemed oddly familiar to me.
Did you enter anything in the Nicktoons animations festival?
Either way that was nice work with character designs,background and over all animation. You really took this small concept and made it your own.
Some of the tweens tho hard to look at were acceptable for the already huge file this was so i'll let that go. Other that that I'm glad to come across this piece finished and I hope to see more from you in the future.

You win.
Other than that This was great man.... oh gawd Tom wow.
well actually i prolly wont. i mean, i didnt submit it to be in the comp really, its more of a kick. i didnt use the christmas preloader and the content isn't TOO christmas themed other then that it's a party. anyhow, thanks man!
ehh nothing new or interesting
This joke has been done to death more than RE4 itself.
-Decent visuals
-Hardly any animation
but the fact you got this altogether shows commitment.
Keep up your animations though shoot for more original things.
This was AWESOME...
with my eyes closed...
WOW
very basic story but nice graphics on this one.
I have a feeling those coffee watches from France would sell well in the NG store.
I write long reviews
Nice work for your first flash animation. Coloring and character designs were ok nothing to detail which is good.
Some things that you need to look into for the future.
Perceptive and camera angles.
- You do alot of good work with perspective but alot of the fighting was done with overly used close up shots.
Although there's no scenery, not having ANY background at all gives you no boundaries so make those guys fight all over the place not just in plain view. Keep me guessing.
Last thing with the fbf you need better transitions. You have to add more transitions to your characters when moving them across the screen at that speed or else it'll be hard to follow and just be incomprehensible. I litterally had to go through it more than once to see every bit of the fight and still felt lost with the random choreograph.
- You showed me you have a good sense of humor at the end which is great for changing the mood in a "fighting" animation but with any mood you need good timing. The ending joke seemed to ironically go faster then the fight did. I'm not sure if it was suppose to be funny or not but i didn't laugh. So sorry about that in advance.
Music and sfx is a big part of flash! This is ok now but you have to learn how to incorporate audio with the visuals to become an even better animator!
tl:dr version
I gave you a 5/10 it's not bad but giving you anything over that would give you the impression that it's perfect. You still got stuff to work on and motivation will help. Keep up the good work hope to see more from you in the future. :]
Awesome man, I write short~~
I would also agree to take this a 5, as you know if I use the excuse of me doing my first flash, you guys won't probably like it. so, I'll just say, next time, I'll keep it slow, understanable, SFX, etc.
....This is my first Flash....Will make more better ones.=)
Nice work
Gave me a bit of Mindchambers old style.
The background and fighting choreography was nice for this quick one
Use of layers and the fbf for the hair was good too.
keep up the good work
well...
I'm not going to assume you're lying when you say this is your first time animating with flash but I pretty sure I've seen a mock trailer of the same name of this parody a couple years ago.
(Just don't use that line in your authors comments it gives you nothing but sympathy votes and IMO that's just sad.)
I wanna review this fairly but from what I remember the trailer I saw of this was way better then an extended series. It was a brief presentation of the concept of Mario and metalgear mix.
But unlike Super Mario bros Z , (which this is probably inspired by) where AlvinEarthworm uses the theme of dragonball z, you have to rely on the metal gear story more then it needs to so you're basically showing us metalgear again it's not appealing, and not even a parody.
You're not doing anything original copying the dialogue word for word and replacing keynames with mario themes won't cut it for me.
So concept is ok but it doesn't have enough to fuel a series. But don't let this stop you you look like you put alot of work into this so just try to change the dialogue and add something more to it because It's boring to people who have played metal gear and confusing to people who haven't.
That trailer you speak of was done by my original partner, Glukom. Originally he was staged to animate and I was staged to write and sprite, alongside the number of spriters from Pixeltendo who helped back then. Sadly it fell through, until now.
As for the dialogue.. well, since it'll be a little while before I move on to anything for a second episode, I'll work on a more original progression while keeping faithful to source material as I can. Perhaps I stayed a little too close to the Metal Gear side of the fence in this episode. Thank you for the suggestion, it's appreciated.
Seemed like a decent start for a series
I watched it twice to give a decent review.
-Moving away from the anime style:
I can see that in the character design a little but you still have some of the "anime" styled expressions in some brief parts. I'm not sure what your trying to move away from but depending on what you're inspiration is your style will vary. Basically don't really make this one of your major things to work on. Progress in style comes naturally forcing it doesn't help.
-More exaggerated lipsync
Pretty good still need some work syncing the correct syllables but still shows you put work into it.
-Full body movement:
Noticed a little in the minor fight scene but the slowed down physics effect took away from that greatly. Might have seemed cool but it took away from the fight scene more than it added.
-More focus on character emotion:
The characters gave me a very boring impression.
I'm not sure if it was the drab voice acting that did it of the blank facial expressions but they did seem to show any emotion at all.
-Color theory:
The one is based on your own opinion depending on the mood of the story.
-More versatile camera angles/movement/editing:
Saw some in this but most of it seemed flat and 2d, You don't have to go all out with character movement to show this but instead show different perspective of the scenery.
-Sound effect/music editing:
Music choice seem biased based on your own liking. Try thinking more about the series and implement diverse genres of music would fit in because audio can be a big part of animation. (IMO instrumentals fit better, music is filled with messages and putting lyrics in the back of animation mixes the audio composers messages with your own, unless your trying to send the same.message)
Overall it was pretty ok to look at but story wise and as an introduction it didn't really progress or show anything to me to reel me in(IMO). Good work though keep up the work hopefully catch some more out of you in the future.
I can see a series of shorts with this character
...keep it up and you and that cat will be stars.
Just call me Blu.
