*Insert Finger Here*
Timing on each bit was absolutely solid, no form of repetition what so ever, the voice acting was quite amusingly in character, the animation was swift, well done, and remarkably detailed, *particularly those distractingly glorious leg hairs....*
Keep up the fine work, good sir!
Very impressive visuals & phenomenal voice acting!
Visually speaking, this bodes out to be some of the most attractive animations I've seen on newgrounds, and both you and Tomamoto deliver absolutely fantastic and well emotive voice acting towards your respective characters. I particularly enjoy the over-dramatization of random lines and the lips continuing to move long after the lines have been said.
However, I felt that the script was very weak, and made it very hard for me to retain interest in continuing to watch the flash. Some of the jokes and dialog made me chuckle, but most of it simply felt flat. My general perspective is if the premise of humor is more kind of "in your face" based like this was, then length needs to be condensed, if longer, than it's kind of preferred to have a story with more substance than humor.
Nevertheless, still an incredibly impressive flash, and despite my opinion of the script, 5/5 is what you get because of how much hard work was clearly put into this animation.
Remarkable.
I honestly would have never expected something of this level of quality to be capable on newgrounds. The artwork was sub-par, one of the best I have ever seen on newgrounds. The voice acting was enthusiastic, and well portrayed for both the grandfather and grandson.
The music was clever, funny, kind of sad towards the end, and just all around had a great kick to it. A tale of greed leading to tragedy / robo-genocide, leading to revenge, leading to deception and downfall, and then back to soon to come revenge. Had a dark feel while still keeping that uplift of the song sung by the grandfather to it.
Pretty much to sum this all up, this is a perfect kind of flash. Has everything you'd want in a flash: action, comedy, emotion, great music, great artwork. Phenomenal job, James Lee.
Originality with this type of animation = Win.
Even after voicing in one of the "Ego Tributes," I'm still not too keen on the idea, for one reason.
Your project gets trashed by people over and over for the sake of it BEING an EgoTribute. Here's the way I saw it:
Your animation design was something else, you had some very detailed design, if it when there was actual animation, it felt as though it had that "sandpaperesque" feel. But it was impressive to see, and visually nice.
The voice acting was decent, but the sound quality was not. My recommendation would have been to either tune up the noise removal with whatever recording gear you used, or to have just gotten voice actors from VAC, Newgrounds, or VAA with better mics.
I'm not too familiar with ZOE, but it did make me laugh when I saw robot with breasts then with that panel that looked like a penis. The jokes, were okay. A couple made me laugh, but all in all, I wasn't particularly amused.
But the thing I see in your flash is true talent. You have great design schemes, and I think, that if next time you push for a completely original on your own idea versus a tribute, you'll get a much better response, and above all else, it will be entirely your call. You won't have to worry about matching up to EgoRaptor's work. And frankly, with the talent you got with animation, I think it's a much more productive spending of your time to make something that comes from you, so it's 100% your touch, and 100% your work. Not that tributes are a bad thing, it's just that too many people mistake tribute with rip-off. Sometimes that's true, in this case, I wouldn't say so.
So all in all, good work.
I marked it as 6/10 for the reasons stated, but I still marked it as 5/5 voting because of the effort I saw.
Keep at it man.
The entire problem is a lack of recording equipment altogether, lol. I'm using a headset and the Windows default sound recorder. Luckily, though, this problem will be fixed by my next project.
Also duly noted to put forth more effort into the writing, and if a constant barrage of jokes are involved, up the quality.
I'm truly thankful that you understand me. I will most definitely keep at it, and I hope you'll love the future projects I have in store. This was a brilliant review, and I can't thank you enough for it...
....but I'll try. Thank you very much!
Well then...
What can I say? I entered the flash not knowing what to expect, listened in, couldn't stop laughing at the absurdity of it all.
Not once did I really follow what was going on, like at all, but it was creative, imaginative, had shown quite a group effort, and most of all, the lyrics, however ridiculously absurd they were, are just hysterical. Great to see a great team of voice actors singing in group univison like that, and I hope all goes well for any future projects you roll with.
Nice quality work bud.
Wow.
Now, I'm still fairly not used to the newgrounds scene, so please bare with me if I sound a bit unfamiliar with Pico, *old age does that I guess...*
But this was incredibly well crafted in your production of this animation. Movement was very smooth, the action was both there and wicked, and there was no stops or unneeded scenes in this. Short or not, it shows a lot of time and effort, and it shows what someone who puts the time and effort into making a well rounded animation can whip up. Now normally, I don't like videos without voice acting, but the way you had this all animated, voices and dialog needed not be said. Really just a great flash all around in my opinion.
Very well done, and all the best on any future flashes you make. :)
Was good.
Here are a couple things I think needed work though:
1. Sync was pretty off loop, I think to make it run more smoothly you definitely gotta do something about the sync.
2. Sound changes, something about the volume changed the quality of the voice clips from what I saw, I don't know if that's anything you can actually solve, but I'd definitely try something.
3. Some of the guards were a bit hard to understand, namely the one Sam interrogates and kills.
4. The music in the intro credits sounds like it's been recorded from afar, my honest opinion would be to find a higher quality sounding song for your intro versus what just sounds cool but has poor sound quality, y'know?
But overall, I think it was amusing and I enjoyed voicing Sam and Lambert. Best of luck to any future projects y'all got going.
Yeah watching it after knowing how to fix the Sound streaming problems is hard
I just wish I could've made this when I knew to Stream it rather than Event the sounds
Then everything would be in time
Absurdly Funny
It was really over the top in a bunch of places, that's what made it so funny.
NUKE ON STARK!! BOOM!!!.............He was kidnapped.
B- Iron Man picture, last second explosions, emphasis on the word IRON and IRONMAN. Obie was funny as Major Dickface. The voicing was ridiculous, and that's why it fit. Too many reviewers below me said, your voicing sounds horrible. But knowing parodies, it's supposed to go over the top, and yours fit the environment of this movie perfectly.
Each part of this video was funny, some of the animations could've been better in between parts, like when Obie explodes, because it sorta came off like a keynote animation boom, but other than that, funny funny stuff man. Great job.
Not bad at all.
I thought the jokes were pretty good, what I loved best was the black man at the end, "You wish..." and that sent a good message too. People who can't voice act, shouldn't.
Your animation was great, I dinged you for a few reasons though:
1. The narrator in the beginning was funny when it opened, but after the second time, it got annoying to listen to.
2. Everytime a clip finished, you'd hear some of the other one plaything through.
3. Though the voice acting was good, I couldn't feel the "pickler." He did a good job, don't get me wrong, but his voice didn't fit in with...well, the "pickler."
Other than that, great stuff, it generally had me more than amused, and I look forward to any other projects you got coming along.
OVERALL

8/10
5/5
And no hard feelings bout "Join The Army," you're entitled to your opinion, but was it the mic that sounded bad or the drill sergeant in general?
