It's a nice slideshow! Definitely WAY more creative than a Windows Movie Maker lyric video! *shudders*

However, the pulsating animation style made the text kinda hard to read for me and, in fact, started to give me a headache. The slightly blurry single-color shapes, combined with the transparent Newgrounds logo in the front made it even harder for me to focus on the words themselves, which is one of the main points of this movie.

Also, I can see tiny, colored dots around some of the shapes. I'm assuming these dots are for animation purposes, but they shouldn't show up in the final product.

I did like it, though. It was nice.

Also, the doodles were neat, and funny when they were supposed to be! Good job on those!

That was awesome! Thoroughly entertaining!

Of course, if I had to nitpick (well, sometimes, I WANNA nitpick), I didn't like the sexual chemistry Boyfriend and Pico kinda had. I know shipping these two characters is really popular, but I prefer them being frenemies rather than in a bromance.

That's just my personal taste, though, which is why I didn't deduct my score because of that! Plus, it didn't particularly detract from the movie in any significant way! As I said before: this was perfect!

ahh gotcha!! that wasn't really my intention with the animation, but i can totally see what you mean!! thank you so much for the rating <3

Short, but sweet, and to the point! The story's clever, the animation's completely functional, the music choices are Grade A... it's perfect! Don't think I'd want this movie any other way! Excellent work!

Thank you! Really appreciate it! :)

That made me LAFF! Excellent work!

I think more work should've gone into other aspects of the movie besides animation (adding MORE sound effects, adding a little color, a background that's not just white space, etc.), but that's just me being nitpicky. It's perfect as-is!

It's very well drawn! Good job with that! The background doodles look really funny!

I also liked the animation. However, I feel like it doesn't really have any buildup to anything. In other words, by the time my brain gets around to absorbing what's happening, the movie is over, and I have to watch it multiple times in order to understand all the intricacies. Honestly, it feels more like a WIP than a finished project. Don't get me wrong: I like rewatching it, just not for wrapping my head around it.

I still liked it, though, so excellent work!

Immediately, I noticed that some of the lip-sync is EXTREMELY off, to the point where it was very distracting.

Speaking of voices, I can't make out a good chunk of the lines without multiple listens, and while that's only PARTLY because of the sloppy lip-sync, the main problem lies with the voice audio itself. Seriously, how many MILES away was your mouth from the microphone? Protip: you're not supposed to eat the damn thing, but you're not supposed to go 100 feet from it and WHISPER your lines, either.

Despite these crippling problems the movie has, it's still not without its funny moments: Girlfriend growing her boombox, Boyfriend realizing he's in over his head with the Spooky kids, Skelly kid dancin'... and others... were funkin' hilarious. Also, it looked nice. REALLY nice, even! Unfortunately, despite all these little charms, it's still a case of style over substance, biting off more than you can chew, etc.

In other words, it's better to slow your roll and plan the general outline of your movie firsthand, rather than just having a rough idea and adding a plethora of random stuff in it later, thinking that'll make it "better". While stuff like that makes it more interesting, it doesn't really make the final product any less hollow, and therein lies the main problem with your movie.

Thanks for the feedback! I don't think I was being too away from the mic, in fact I would try to keep it as close as possible lol... Im just not a native English speaker and have a hard time articulating. For the sync being off I'd say it's a problem with how the editing program rendered it, it was ok when I checked it before but it evidently got fucked up. I understand my accent is a bit harsh, that's why I put subtitles on the YouTube upload. However this is newgrounds and you have every right to be confused! This is my first time voice acting in something, I'll get better as I go :)

I don't know anything about Persona, but that was great! A perfect meme (assuming the Persona reference is spot-on)!

That dialogue was funkin' stupid...

I love it! Reminds me of Flash game cutscenes from the 2000s!

Mehwife responds:

this review made my day! also neat pun

While the animation was pretty jank and blurry and all over the place, I can definitely tell you tried! A for effort! Also, Boyfriend's revelation was really funny!

ManicMinerBurns responds:

Thank you!!!!

The way they jiggle around like jello kinda gives me agida, but outside of that, this was short, sweet and to the point! Excellent job with the perspective changes, and good work overall!

chewie125 responds:

Thanks! I appreciate the criticism

I like making things, whether it be music, movies, games, pictures, etc. However, I mostly just ENJOY the arts (listening to music, playing video games, watching movies, etc.). Also, I live in the cornfields. There's great reception here.
