Ickicky's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Kevil the Japanese Devil - The Pilot]

This is great! Definitively felt like a pilot more than a thesis film to be honest. This episode definitively delivered a lot of Exposition on what got Jiro placed in his predicament, however we don't get any insight into June the spirit character or why she's with Jiro. She could have sent him back alone to talk to Akari. The ideas you have for the story written in the contract are really neat as well.

Animation is nice, I'm not a big fan of paper jiggling representation, but it saves time. There's a lot of good character acting in this and I look forward to seeing more demons and yokai.

The big Shoki fella (I assume?) Should speak Japanese if you're going to have subtitles! But I'm sure there may have been some concern about people understanding his accent, but honestly I don't think the subtitles are necessary.

Best of luck!

Stradomyre responds:

Yup, absolutely more of a pilot. I just decided if I’m gonna spend all this time in college animating, might as well make something I actually want to make in the future. :)

Yeah I agree June could have been fleshed out more, my focus though was primarily Akari and Kevil. A lot was actually cut out from the original board.

And hehe yeah the puppets were done to save time, but it worked out stylistically in the end. :P And I didn’t think the subtitles were necessary either, but people indeed had a problem understanding his accent lmao. Anyway, glad you enjoyed the animation and characters! Thanks for watching :D

[Baozi's Quarantine]

You actually changed it to M, wowee.

Diives responds:

It wasnt me 😶

[Lotad Splash]

Pssst, This could have been a gif in the art portal if you're only going to make a loop with no audio. Just so you know.

newgamingspies responds:

oh yeah! Should've thought of that earlier! Sorry! >.<

[Steam On The Field]

Makes for a cool loop, but there should be more to this no? This almost boarders on gif territory

Atastic responds:

Thanks! Stuff are under construction atm, so keep a head out for anything new i'll pop out ^^

[Dragon Mall Quest]

As punishment for getting excited at the concept of watching another off brand anime parody I got smacked in the face deservedly by a Feb 4th Release date. It's already the 4th in non america land just give it to me already daddy I've been a good boy the last 2 months.

BogusRed responds:

Hi Ozone. That is fair criticism. I'll update the description to reflect we post Tuesday mornings pst.
The first episode is now posted if you want to check it out. I'm curious what you think and thanks so much for the comment!

[Scrapped Animation]

You're so close! Any thoughts of making the show still?

pulpdirector responds:

I am going to remake this intro to have my newest sona in it. And I think I am gonna continue doing my stuff. Let's see what happens.

[Pokemon, A Pretty Cool Move!]

More in-betweens for the in-between god! And I'll overlook your flirtation with the tube of you

ElaborateBagel responds:

May the framed gods have mercy on my lazy ass.
