Less is more!

Less is more in this movie, as it has very little animation and backgrounds. It is incredibly easy to take sprites and a random song and throw a bunch of random shit together, but this movie shows actual coherence and looked like there was some thought put into it. Really good TO THE BEAT action going on too. The one suggestion I have would be to have the playing of the piano and guitar go more along with the song. I can see you tried to do it, but I don't think it looked quite right. Could have been ultra badass. But it obviously didn't bother me that much, because I'm still giving you a ten. Rock on man.

Yeah, the instruments were the last bit I animated, so I kinda cut a few corners there.

The easiest

It is easy for one to write about the bad things in this movie, but first, I want to talk about the good things. The art was amazing. I love the paintbrush with smoothed lines, very nice look. And your coloring was really good. The audio recording was also incredibly clear. But two things really stood out to me in this movie. At the part where it shows him walking up the stairs from the side, his foot goes way to far back. Think about where your feet go when walking up the stairs. And the skewing of the piece of wood as it fell down on the old man. That was just cheap as hell. It was really obvious that you just got lazy. The story was mediocre, but it reminded me quite a bit of Ghostbusters. Anyway, overall, I liked it, and don't take my critisism to seriously if you read this, because I really did like your movie.

"reminded me quite a bit of Ghostbusters"

That was the idea. Thanks for your comments!

I'm giving this a ten, but I do have some comments

First of all, that movie was really amazing. The limited colors, the weeving of 3d in, and a very suspenseful story. I loved the soundtrack up until the last track when he was breaking out. That came close to ruining the whole experience. You should have kept with the classical style stuff, I think it could have made that part much better to go along with not using any sound effects. I'm sure you've thought about this, but I wonder if it would look better if you smoothed some of the lines on the people you animate frame by frame. It may go against your style, but it may be worth looking into. Great Work.

Great animation and idea

I really liked a lot of this, the action, the lighting effects, the very jagged line style. Excellent job. One thing that seemed a tad out of place was the explosions were done with a big brush size, and it contrasted oddly with the dark jagged line style. Overall very entertaining and well done. Reminds me of The Second Rennaisance (sp) from the Animatrix (If you ever saw that)

Way to go!

I love looking at the character that I designed! Awesome shit from Wh34t.com, if you havn't been there yet, make sure you go! Way to go David, you lazy bastard!

Beautiful Job!

I usually don't write reviews, but this one compelled me to do so.
This is probably the only serious sprite animated movie on Newgrounds, and I think it is the best sprite movie I've seen in years. Hopefully others will follow along and stop making uncreative shit. Excellent soundtrack too! Great, Great job.

Great

This is awesome work from the man. He knows the music is by Yoko Kanno, he just wasn't thinking straight when he uploaded it. The backgrounds look incredible.

Bravo!

Best

This is by far the best movie I've ever seen, I'll give it a 4!

Rad

I really liked you style. People who say this is boring don't have a taste for the finer things.

rock

Pure goodness, this should get #1 on the top fifty, no question.

If you didn't vote 5, I hate you
