Aalasteir's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Friday Night Hunkin': Tankmen]

Based on the accuracy of the styling of Doobus-Goobus' animations, I would say this parody is extremely accurate and well-crafted.

02:29 - The sound effect used is terrible.

I apologize, that's just my experience. Other people do not have that, and I'm happy for them. Your movie is really well-made. You are awesome, very skilled!

[boku no one cares 2]

Amazing style with fine voice acting and a good narrative. Using many different variations of styles can be really effective, though it can be a bit disorienting if they are used too frequently without proper reasoning as to how they communicate the themes and establish the universe where your movie takes place. This can make it a bit difficult to understand. Overall, very amazing animation.

[Newgrounds Summer Fest 2021 Opening Animation]

Using the text in many different styles to communicate "Everything, By Everyone" is very creative. Typography is a great tool for communicating ideas, and that is creative.

The animations are impressive! Full of life and personality—very inspirational. Personally, I wish there was information in the comments detailing who made each section.

Stanpai responds:

Thanks for the thoughtful review! It's actually a bit challenging to answer who did what as many of the scenes in this and the other OP animation are actually mixed compositions from various artists and animators. There are a few notable exceptions where only one person did both the background and all the characters on screen, but the majority of the scenes in this cartoon are all featuring multiple artists at once. I suppose it's a lot like with a theatrical release!

[Final Fantasy Origins - CHAOS Animatic Trailer]

When he said, "What is a shopping mall?" I began crying. Chaos. They live in total chaos. Someone has to stop Chaos! It's good that you describe what you've done and who has made the music. Providing good and detailed credits is always appreciated in any production, as it gives a great overview of who does what. Things can get really confusing if there are a lot of people involved, so it's always good to specify who does what in a project.

[Stanpai Visual Character Demo]

Excellent character demo! Thank you for also providing the links to the works that feature your voice acting.

[Crypto Fantasy VII]

Especially impressive how you handled the art, animation, voices, and script. That is really difficult to do. Great explanation of cryptocurrency. You have put in a great deal of research into understanding how it functions, and the characters explained quite well along with having an emotional dynamic angle added that is furthering along the plot.

[Senpai SimDate - Ending A]

The movie already starts with a very creative logo, which I find to be excellent. The framing of it being a dating simulator is interesting, and the way that things are communicated shows that a lot of thought has gone into how it should be established. Having this stated as being recognized as a piece of Lost Media is interesting, as well as calling it Ending A, which is a good reference to dating simulators, showing a clear understanding of the genre.

The almost uncanny pseudo-emotional anime voice acting that is present is well-parodied, and it exhibits all of the characteristics. I would say that proves that reference material was listened to and practiced on to get down the vocalization and styling.

Cherry blossom tree XD and the music supports the voice acting and the visuals are good combinations for supporting the narrative. There is almost a drastic change when the Senpai gets a close-up. I know this isn't a problem for me, but going from being a parody of anime style to a Western-looking comic character is something I noticed. Yes, I enjoyed the movie. It's cool, great teamwork.

Anislug responds:

I cant draw anime type stuff for my life LMAO happy you enjoyed

[Friday Night Tankmen [Week 7 Prologue]]

When Steve explains the type of people he is referring to, I find that very accurate, and that is my favorite part of your movie. It is true that there are not a whole lot of bits going on in the animation department, and I assume that is also the intention. I genuinely find it difficult to vote. Your voice acting is extremely accurate, and due to the fact that your voice acting is so accurate and the writing you've put effort into establishing characterization of Tankmen, I will give you 5. This is also because of the themes that are very unique to Newgrounds.

[Pokemon Legends: Breath of the Arceus]

The visuals are fun and the music elevates the suspense of the scenes.
