DioShiba's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Great Reptar Adventure]

You know, I'd be arsed if I didn't say that I got a chuckle or two out of this but at the same time I felt there was a lot of missed potential with how the parents could have been animated here. (Even though that would have been a lot more work.)

I mean yeah there where a few visual gags that hinted what DeeDee, Stu and eventually Chez would lead up to but when the shots are fixated on what Tommy and Chuckie are doing without any of the exaggerated expressions I'm used to seeing from your animations, I kind of feel like I'm just listening to a funny voice over with some lip sync. Not to say that it's bad in of itself, but it just kind of feels lacking.

[Wabbit Season]

Every time that deep voice comes in it's just aaaaaaaaaaaaa.

[The Gift]

I feel like the music distracts the rest of the animation. HOWEVER, I really love the concept behind the animation.

[JAWBREAKER]

I don't even know where to begin here.

This works perfectly. And if I'm being honest knowing Danny Antounucci's work I am convinced that this would be close enough to a different Ed, Edd, n Eddy had the same vibe as Brother's Grunt (Which, if I'm being honest your interpretation of the eds and the nature of the plot really hit that weird bizarre nature of the latter show.)

This is perfection, not in regard to the plot or anything like that but the humor I feel like stems from being aware of the history of the animator.

[You Lovely Lovers]

Beautiful 10/10

[Mister President]

Politically, I can see where this might come off as biased. BUT there's enough humor in it for both sides if you don't like Trump as either a republican or a democrat. However that is not why I am just barely giving this 3.5 stars.

The thing that prevents me from giving this anything higher than what I gave it is that this is really a simple animation with two basic shots for the characters. While the gags for Trump work they were pretty boring putting aside the scene where Trump coughs up a golf club and the scene with him playing an xylophone. Some of the other scenes could have been more dynamic in this instance. Also we've seen the gag of an image changing in each shot several times (In this instance, the portrait of Trump behind the guy telling him all these issues).

The humor is there, but the animation has too many missed opportunities.

[Overwatch Noir]

To hell with it, I'm giving this five stars.

I enjoyed the animation. and to be honest while the inner Overwatch fan in me was REALLY fucking bugged about the ship between Tracer and McCree for the obvious reason.... At the same time I also feel that this works on one argument that, in game when you play without any limits in arcade mode there's an easter egg that Tracer points out that there are other versions of herself in other dimensions.

So who knows, maybe if there was multiverse theory applied to this where there's a version of Tracer that's straight or bisexual, this ship would have worked out extremely well and there'd still be the version of Tracer that's lesbian.

So in that context I suppose that this story would actually make sense. With that said I think that in spite of the lack of foresight on your part before Tracer was confirmed gay in the lore, this is still a really beautiful work of art.

[Lonely Girl : Flight]

Typically when I see an artist take a risk it usually benefits the art. In this case the art goes into the subject matters of suicide, death, and the afterlife.

There is a sense of emotion that is portrayed throughout the short where you actually sense that there is a deep underlying issue within the main character. Like something is off and her emotions are depressed and on the surface she just seems like another person where she seems happy. Then she takes the leap and that's where it hits the audience in the gut when they grasp the reality of what's happening.

It's a sensitive topic no one likes to talk about. I personally feel that you managed to achieve something that couldn't be shown in words otherwise. I also very much like the animation style of this as well.

[#CHANGETHEBEES]

A Beeautiful masterpiece, I actually enjoyed the buzz in this film than I had the original Dr. Bees.

I really hope that you continue these shorts in the future, they're becoming pretty entertaining.

[Legend of Link]

Not going to lie, I like how this came out.
