Easily the best in your Brackenwood series. You've developed your storytelling skills immensely, and took Brackenwood to a different level in this short. The establishing celestial shot was honestly epic. You revisit *practically* every other short and put some more meaning behind it which helps redefine the series as a whole. Great cliff hanger ending also and as always, (do we even need to tell you anymore?) flawless fucking animation my friend. Just beautiful. Do you animate on 1's or 2's for the most part? It looks like the running scenes were on 1's, but some of the close ups and whatnot are on 2's... Lovely work.

yeah mostly on 2s wherever possible but 1s when necessary. if you go frame-by-frame in those 3D floating camera shots, you'll notice that the animated background is on 1s but the character animation is mostly on 2s. That's the cos the character is more time consuming X)
Thanks for the awesome review, I'm glad you got something out of it!

Really well drawn and well animated. I can't believe this doesn't have a better score. I don't find it so disturbing as I do funny. Most of these reviews are being a little too harsh I feel. Keep up the great work amigo.

But I'm not sure the animation was up to par with such a heavy idea. Extremely well executed and written wonderfully. Your drawings were also pretty solid, but as far as the actual animation goes, it's slim to none. Other then that, great short.
"Although this film is a modern animated classic, akin to the old works of Walt Disney and the like, I staunchly disagree with its profane imagery and vulgar message. It was truly a mistake on my part when I allowed my two small children to be present during its screening. I don't believe the taint will every be washed from their impressionable young minds."
How does this bear any resemblance to Walt Disney or sexual intercourse?

There really wasn't much non-tweening animation. If I could draw well enough, I could have frame-by-framed the plant growth and the animals, and the few bits with the astronaut. But in lieu of that ability I focused mainly on 'camera' placement and movement. Thanks.
And don't mind him, he's just a troll.

"Why does this have such a high rating?"
It's barely animation, the fact that it's hand drawn shouldn't be the deciding factor. You had a consistent art style, and the speech bubbles were nice. The idea wasn't very original, but you had likable characters and a funny story. Improve the animation and drawings though if you want to have an epic flash.

Low reviews shouldn't be given for obviously tributing something to egoraptor. I'm sure the author is well aware that he's replicating an egoraptor short but it's an original idea and it was funny despite the awkwardly long transition scenes. (I don't know if those were supposed to be funny or not but they weren't) Overall, nice animation, and the punchline was funny.

Very good, and not what I expected. Most of the animations were excellent, but you seemed a little inconsistent, but I can't blame you for not keeping up with that caliber of animation. The idea was great and extremely well executed. I love the animations when the bug is inside of the man, it really added nice effects. Good shit man. Keep up the good work.

This is my style man. Everything was awesome. I loved all of that great fbf you had in there, and some of the metaphors. I liked that bit with the baggie turning into the jay and into the F. Plus, you can't go wrong with Hendrix. Good stuff. Check out my stuff. Collab?

Great effects, and very fluent animation. Clever ending, and great idea. There's really nothing wrong with this other then there's no real plot or story behind it. I recommend using your superb flash talent for something bigger then this. Good luck to you in the future.

I really liked this. It's good to see you didn't take yourself too seriously and added a Koopa into the mix. I thought it worked well and it was very well animated. The plot is decent so far, but I'd like to see more. As redundant and over used as they are here on newgrounds, I think you should do a cross over series, with maybe more then just Castlevania and Mario, and perhaps Chrono Trigger and some other good game characters. Regardless, I'd like to see more of this series, keep up the good work.

It looks very Dan Paladin inspired, which isn't a bad thing, because it was also pretty original. One thing I did like a lot, was how you zoomed in on the characters faces, and you could see all the details on them. It showed you have a little more drawing ability then little walking blobs. Now the animation itself could use some work. It was very sketchy frame by frame, which seemed to fit with the style, but could use some touching up. Overall, I liked it, but it needs some work done to it to make it a real gem here on Newgrounds. Try adding actual punch animations instead of just the tween of one character punching, then the other flying backward. It's good to use once in awhile, but not every time something happens, it comes off as cheesy. Also, when you do decide to animate something like that, don't make them silouhetes, it's unnecessary and it seems like your just being lazy, but I've done the same thing, so I can sympathize. Overall, it's a good flash, keep up the good work. Best of Luck.
