[Sonic Reversal: Ep. II]

This is amazing.

Both of the Sonic Reversal animations were great. They were long, but I never got bored. The animations were smooth, there was a lot of action as well as a lot of humor (the conversations made me laugh), and everything was just... well... great. The storyline is pretty good, the sound effects were nice,you chose great music, and the sprites were good.

I really don't know what else to say. Just keep up the AMAZING work, and I hope this gets front page. 5/5, 10/10. YOU ARE AMAZING.

[Shadow vs. Samus Aran]

Could've been a bit smoother.

It was long and had a good amount of variety, but would've been better if it was smoother. I would also suggest making a box around the text, or something of that sort to make it easier to read. Learn a bit of ActionScript so you can make a play button, or just use the Newgrounds preloader in your animation.

I also would've liked it better if you moved the stage around rather than keeping it still. For example, when someone hit someone else, make the screen shake. This is easy to do if you learn how to make a V-cam using ActionScript. Or you could tween everything in a shaking motion.

The music was fine, the action was pretty good, although it could've been smoother as I mentioned before, you had good sound effects in there, and the sprites you chose were fine.

Anyway, those are my tips. I hope to see more from you, and good luck animating!

[Specks]

Nice.

It seemed to be a bit short, but it was good. The pictures were very detailed, and there was good music and sound effects. I don't have much to complain about with the graphics. I would add a bit more action, but I can't really think of much else... just make it longer. And keep up the great work!

[Fightage]

Well, since you asked...

This was pretty good. You might've wanted to make the peoples' movements a bit smoother, but drawing smooth frame-by-frame is hard and time consuming, so I'll let it go.

Anyways, it was a cool battle with good animation and cool sound effects, and the ending was funny. You might want to make it a bit longer, and try to make the movement smoother, but other than that, it was good.

Keep it up.

i hope to address all those concerns in the next one. thanks for your review, always good to get a fellow artist's opinion.

[Shoot the Moon]

Eh.

Has the potential to be good, but there are quite a few things you should improve on.

First of all, it needs to be way longer. What you have now sort of explains the storyline, but you need to add characters, perhaps voices, and more action. There needs to be more animated scenes, not just a few tweened and blurred pictures with a few animations thrown in.

You might want to add music, too. You should add sound effects, although music might not be as good as just background noise like you had. Other than those things, it was okay, but there isn't enough.

[Randomnesss]

It was nice.

Not too bad. It just isn't as good when it isn't in flash though. The quality of the animation is what I didn't like. Other than that, though, I don't have much to complain about. The animation was good, and it was an okay random thing. Er... I don't know what else to say, really. I guess just, good job, and keep it up! ;)

[Magic -]

Not bad.

This was actually pretty good. Some suggestions would be to maybe add some music, and make the graphics a bit better. Also, you might want to add some special effects like blurring and glowing. Otherwise, though, this was a pretty good animation. A tad short, but good nonetheless. Keep it up. ;)

[Teh Raiden's stick fight]

Not bad.

I liked this. It was short and sweet, although perhaps a bit too short. My suggestions would be to make the animation a bit smoother, and add ground and a background, so that the stick figures aren't just standing on nothing. If you don't know how to use layers, I'd look into that. Also, Click on the last frame of your animation, open up the actions window, and put in these actions: stopAllSounds(): This will make it so that the music won't keep playing after the animation is over. ;)

[NightAtRocksberry -al3xx-]

Not too great.

The talking was really bad. It was extremely difficult to understand what they were saying. Improve that, and your animation will be a lot better. Also, add a background, increase the frame rate, make the graphics a bit better (add shading, lighting, more detail, etc.), and animate things a bit more. Nice job anyways though. ;)
