[Birthday 19]

The guy below me was the fourth in a series of stupid reviews. This is the fifth.

Put it on android and you can have a dollar

Because this animation made me laugh.

But I do not feel guilty for not going out and buying an iphone to buy your game.

JohnnyUtah responds:

don't sweat it chief, thanks for the hypothetical dollar, it's appreciated.

[Dreams I]

I liked it

Totally different from your usual stuff, but I reckon dreams are a good subject matter for expermenting with your animation.

Looking forward to more.

[I Like Trains]

I really like this.

I haven't commented on a Newgrounds vid in years, but this is just awesome. The song's catchy, the animation's solid, and I love that synthy-keyboardy sound that plays through the chorus.

You did good, son.

[My Little Pony: Cupcakes]

This is some twisted shit.

Solid animation though.

[Captain Spectacular]

Good

The script was funny and the animation was solid. My only minor gripe was the voice acting. Not that it was bad, far from it, but it lacked a certain passion which would have made the jokes funnier.

Perhaps it just needed to be better projected, but I felt that every characters emotions should have been amplified. At the very least, the reactions should have felt like they were actually there, instead of sounding as if their lines were premeditated.

As I say, this is a minor issue, and the only reason I point it out is that more commited voice acting would have risen the animation from good to great.

Looking forward to more from you.

WhiteLightning responds:

Yeah, you're probably right. It's harder to get specific character personalities into such a tightly packed space of so much going on. I'll definitely be working to improve on that in the future.

[Salad Fingers Episode 9]

I really need some context

I've been watching these for years, and I still just don't see what you're going for. They're entertaining, sure, in a weird for weird's sake kinda way; and I guess that the bizarre nature of Salad Fingers' psyche could well just be your expression of true delusion and futility. But I always assumed there was something more. Some grand metaphor which would put the entire series into some context; which would make each part of each animation into an actual relevant part of some wider message.

If there isn't one, it doesn't mean that the animations are any less entertaining, but, I won't lie, I'd be somewhat disappointed. Especially as you've shown the capability to use interpretation and metaphor to make funny and ironic cartoons about a wide range of topics, from politics, to television, to dreams, even down to the one you did where you expressed constipation as people struggling to leave a house.

I'm really really hoping that there's some meaning behind this series which I simply haven't been perceptive enough to grasp.

[Velociraptorism]

Sold.

You have my support, friend.
