ArcoJawa's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fiery Christmas]

Truthfully, not as funny as the 2008 one, but still great (maybe drunkeness is too funny for it's own good).
It's nice to see some well executed facial expressions on Newgrounds once in a blue moon. Even with animators who's skill level is close to or on par with yours (or among paid professionals for that matter) it seems like most everyone makes their characters emote with 1/10th of their faces.

Always a rare and great pleasure to see one of your animations uploaded though it can seem like forever. You and Tracy Butler. Both take forever with your art but when you do -it's magic~

Thanks for the awesome review and sweet velvety words.
It takes forever between submissions cos when you draw/animate all day for a living, filling up your free time with more drawing/animation really takes it out of you. These days I'm finding even a short project seems to be more gruelling than it used to be.

Actually it was.... tamer then I espected. I greatly enjoyed it though~

[Zelda: UO Epis:8]

Well....

I generally like it... it's very well animated, though the story isn't incredible. The thing is though... it doesn't feel very Zelda-ish, as though you could do the same series, without the Zelda title, and get a better result.

I'm sorry I'm boring

If the animation isn't intended to be overly animated then that's ok, the way you execute it is what really matters, and your getting one of my few tens~

[Girlchan in Paradise Ep1]

Hey....

Was that the turning of a page I heard during one of Kenstar's monologues?

This one seems to have less actual animation then your usual stuff, but I think the storywriting makes up for it.

[Happy Cutie Bunny Easter!]

Well...

... I kind of have a distaste for this sort of thing, but withholding that, I guess you pieced it together cleverly. Still, maybe you need to work a little more skill into it. I don't think it matters to much what kind of skill, maybe you could do a little image editing in-between, add more transition, maybe put a little more buildup between the cute and the gruesome. I can't be certain if my low rating isn't partly due to distaste (inevitably we all have some kind of bias), but I hope at least these are some good observations.

[ParodyRangersTheMovie P.2]

Your getting better

... good to see, especially since many series just improve artwork wise over the course of time.

[Super Mario Brothers ep 2]

Odd....

It's.... difficult to take Mario seriously. Imagining him carrying a switch blade or swearing is hard to swallow and thus, I can't really get into this animation. Maybe if it were a different set of characters...

[The Real Legend 3]

Not incredible

... but I really like the continuity your trying to pull off there with Link getting better and Navy seeming more respectful of him. A lot of things seemed to happen very quickly in the movie which kinda made the comedy seem rushed but you did make me interested in seeing the continuation~

[There She Is!! step4]

Mood has shifted

It interesting to see the mood progress over this story, and while I can't help but expect a happy ending, I look forward to the finale
