AtomicAstro's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[PPAP Pen Pineapple Apple Pen ANIMATED!]

Well I'm not a fan of this meme at all but at least the visuals weren't the worst ever. I'm not a fan of these kind of really simplistic styles personally, I don't think they're lazy or anything I just don't really appreciate them visually, but that's not really something that can be objectively criticized. One thing that really bugged me was the use of tweening and skewing, I'm not a fan of that kind of animation personally. Overall this isn't really my thing at all but it's not the most poorly-made thing ever.

jessejayjones responds:

Thank you for the honest feedback! Yeah, this was done in a day just for fun. I love how much hate and love it's getting, hahaha. Thanks for checking it out! :)

[Ghost Squad]

This was really good. I liked everything about this. The art style is kinda simple but very appealing looking. The animation was really nice. The story was interesting. I think this has plenty of potential for a sequel or even a series, because you have very effectively set up a foundation for that. You set up the whole thing with him becoming a fighter pretty well and set up his team too, there is a lot of potential for things that could happen in the future. There could also be some more development, more could be shown in regards to the world that has been set up, the characters can further develop. I feel like you did really good at making this both enjoyable on its own and being able to set up a potential series. I'd look forward to seeing what could happen with this in the future.

Kieran-s responds:

Thankya! Yeah I really enjoy using the structure of a series, but at the same time try to be open to it being a one off. Good point about the world building, I think that's something I struggle with. Glad you enjoyed!

[Pokemon Go Make Friends]

I don't really like the fact that so many Pokemon Go cartoons are being made but I gotta say I really liked this one. I loved the animation and the art, and the colors were spectacular. I love the use of irony with the joke, it really worked very well.

PhantomArcade responds:

Happy this one stood out to ya dude, thanks for the review!

[Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich]

I mean I saw no real reason why it had to be FNAF characters because they didn't really fit at all but the animation was alright at least.

storytellerYT responds:

Yeah, I just wanted it to be FNAF, no real reason, just out of preference.

[Perverted Toads]

I loved the animation, it was very smooth and appealing to look at.

Carbonwater responds:

I certainly do like that smoothness!

[Akko's trip: Little Witch Academia Parody]

It wasn't too bad. The artwork looked really good, the colors are your best yet. My issues are the other aspects of the cartoon. First off, the animation. You're getting better but certain aspects kind of irk me. The biggest problem in this cartoon was the motion. There really wasn't much motion at all, and when there was, it didn't look too good. Certain instances looked very stiff, for example, the movement after Akko finishes saying she needed something for the test with her arm. The movements still primarily consist of bounce effects and tweening. I don't have a problem with tweening in itself and for the most part it looked fine, there was one particular instance that looked awful however. When Sucy said "Try this" the tween looked to be completely devoid of easing, and it looked horribly stiff. I'd recommend just trying a bit more frame by frame, and also I noticed that plenty of the facial expression transitions looked too quick, so not enough inbetweens is also still an issue I see. There were plenty of instances in which there should have been more motion but the characters just kind of stood there, so I'd recommend trying to put more motion into the characters. But, that said, your animation has been getting progressively better as you go on, with each cartoon the problems with your animation irk me less and less due to your improvement. The most well animated part of this had to be Moha's trip sequence, it's easily the highlight of this cartoon. Writing-wise, it was okay. The only part I legitimately laughed at was the part where the teacher cried like a baby. Everything else in regards to the writing was fine but nothing special. I didn't really laugh at the joke with the drug trip (if it was supposed to be a joke) because it was incredibly predictable, but humor is subjective so as long as you found the joke funny that's all that matters in the end right? And one thing that's very minor that I just kinda found weird... what's with Luluco popping in and out during the part where they get thrown in jail? It just kinda distracted me from the scene and wasn't really necessary, but I dunno maybe that was some joke that went over my head.

alicemargiela responds:

I read your review and in some parts, you are 100% correct! I should add more animation but since i wanted to improve drawing as whole, that distracted me. LOL But yeah, i do enjoy rigged animation like Red Minus does. I just have to learn and take your review into consideration into next cartoons which is what i will do. However, the Luluco part was an inside joke. If you watch the show, she is a space cop who arrests people, so i thought it be cute to add Luluco into the scene as a kind of joke to people who watch Space Patrol Luluco. But yes, i read your review and i will learn to animate more frame br frame and how to tween correctly. Thanks! ^^

[Candy Store]

The art and whatnot looks promising I'll give you that but you're not supposed to put previews onto Newgrounds.

goretoons responds:

Yes, thank you. I'm sorry I'm still new to Newgrounds, forgive me friend.

[Fay - LOVE DAY (Unfinished)]

Regardless of the cartoon itself, you're not supposed to upload incomplete work onto NG.

willcamick responds:

o_O Why dont you go tell Miss Finster on me there Randall. What did Papa Smurf say? Shut up I do what I want and if you dont like it you can go suck a lemon.

But all jokes aside shut up. People like you are why I stopped posting my work to NG in the first place. You make a few shit animations and think your king of the shit stains. (Your animations are good im just mad) So ................................................................ suck it.

[Robot Boy Show - 8/24/16]

Robot Boy is back!

robot-jones responds:

better than ever !

[We Hope To See You Again]

I mean the animation was okay I guess but it looked to be reliant on just moving the same drawing across the screen at times, never do that. If you're doing frame by frame then unless only one part of the character is moving or something then it's best you just redraw the whole character for every frame. I feel like all these kind of "Pokemon has stupid logic lol" jokes have been made a million times already. I feel like it would have been funnier if the part where Nurse Joy was creepy was possibly more over the top and less slow paced, and why did she suddenly have a man voice? It made no sense. If the voice was creepy then I guess it could have made sense but it wasn't. But I mean I guess it wasn't the worst thing ever.

TheIYouMe responds:

For the trainer character I never just moved the drawings across the screen, I redraw him every time he moved. With Nurse Joy, not as much, because she had very limited movements anyway.

I don't doubt that there have been a million similar type of jokes made, but that doesn't change that I felt like doing this one. I thought it would be a fun idea to do, so I did it. I don't really think too much about whether or not similar jokes have been made before, because everything has been done before anyway.

I guess that part could have been more over the top, not sure how though? I suppose it is kinda slow paced, but then again, it's like 6 seconds or something? I didn't specifically have a man's voice in mind, but I did want it to be very deep, as I thought that could be kinda creepy and out of nowhere (element of surprise, the unexpected and all that). What would be a way to make it creepier? I genuinely would like to know.

But thanks for saying the animation's okay, I know very well that I'm far from the best around, but I like doing these, and I think I'm getting decent at it.
