"Perfection"

submission: Future

date: December 19, 2006

Now here's a level of quality you don't see everyday. I think what took me by surprise was the apparent professionalism in your work, the sheer effort you must have put into this, the creativity! For me, the style was reminiscent of former Sega developer Tetsuya Mizuguchi, creator of music games Rez and Lumines. Not to mention Tron of course!

Overall your animation and the audio blended perfectly. The futuristic neon universe is a complete visual treat, and your quality of work really brings it to life. You even managed to fit an O RLY reference without ruining the atmosphere!

A lot of people will watch this again and again, and keep enjoying it. This is the 2006 equivalent of 2004's Walk-Smash-Walk, by Sakupen. Chances are it'll stay in the Top 50 along with it for a long time. I really can't get over how awesome your animation is. It's animators like you that inspire me to start my own Flash career, which I hope to do at some point in 2007. Thanks for making Newgrounds extra awesome!

Score: 10

"You did it..."

submission: Arfenhouse Teh Movie 6

date: August 8, 2006

...you actually did it! You finished Arfenhouse Teh Movie for real! I'm in awe. It's one of the best things on Newgrounds. Ever. Perfection. Hopefully this will stop the flow of messages you must get about finishing the series, from people much like our friend Billy.

I'd give you a proper review concerning graphics, style, sound and so on, but this is Arfenhouse! Teh Movie! No need for such standard reviews! It was all of high quality anyway, so no worries there.

I'm not going to bombard you with Arfenhouse quotes but I will say this:

I sincerely hope you enjoy your semi-retirement, Misteroo. You've earned it. Must feel good to have finally finished the Arfenhouse series so you can move on to other projects. Good luck with those too. I'm sure you'll be rocking the socks of Newgrounds users again in the future. Peace.

Score: 10

"Brilliant!"

submission: the YuYu

date: June 17, 2006

The only thing that stops this submission from being my all-time favourite is the length. However, you are my all-time favourite animator! To be honest, I wasn't too surprised to find that you were a professional animator from reading an interview at the NG MAG.

The YuYu's animation excels in all departments - as someone who has only just started using Flash, it's hard for me to grasp how you accomplish such fine work on this program. It's obviously possible though, and your animations are truly inspiring. I could go into detail about the greatness of this submission, from the awesome graphics to the amazingly appropriate sound, but you're the master of Flash, not me!

I enjoyed everything about this piece, and I have to give it a perfect 10. Although I give all my favourites perfect 10's in my reviews, this time it's a bit more meaningful. It's just so stylish, imaginative and original. The Brackenwood series is the best on Newgrounds. Keep it up!

Score: 10

"Yahho, Watashi Wa Kattaze!"

submission: Final Fantasy A+

date: June 3, 2006

I don't have much to say about this one. I just can't fault it. It's a classic, and will always be one of my favourites. The animation is smooth and you can even tell the Japanese is being spoken very well whether or not you're familiar with the language.

This flash stays true to the Final Fantasy series, which is obvious if you're a fan of the games, from the battle interface to the music. The slider you can use to scan through the movie is a very nice touch, and adds to the quality of your production.

As you've already received over 10,000 reviews for your work, I'll finish off here and say I'm a big fan of your creations, and I look forward to reviewing your other submissions as well. You've got an A+ from me.

"Burst Me Bagpipes!"

submission: DucktaleZ 3

date: March 16, 2006

My current all-time favourite, and with good reason. To me, this is practically flawless, and a fitting end to the trilogy. Even the preloader made me laugh out loud several times! I can't help but feel this is a little underrated, but it has certainly made an impression on people judging from other reviews. I saw this when it first came out, and have returned to view it now and then ever since, as well as your other work. They've all been impressive. Now, on with the review.

To begin with, the menu was pleasant, and the Behind-The-Scenes feature and links to the previous installments were a nice touch. At 18 minutes, 41 seconds, no one can complain that this is too short. The overall plot was well structured, allowing for constant interest and enjoyment throughout the show. Of course, your version of Scrooge McDuck and the gang stole that show! I was extremely impressed with the effort you put into those 3D fight scenes as well, and it added to the hilarity. I thought the soundtrack was just right for this kind of production, from Kill Bill's "A Silhouette Of Doom" to the Power Rangers Theme. I've always found that with the right music or sound, you can make almost anything funny. Not that I'm saying your choices were the only reason I found DucktaleZ 3 so brilliant, oh no. I particularly dislike Green Day, but you made it feel so appropriate in the scene you used it in. All the characters provided some laughs, so top marks there too.

In conclusion, and without spoiling this for anyone, I would recommend this to just about anyone. DucktaleZ 3 is legendary, and I expect your future works to surpass even this. Take your choice of the following:

1) 100% Score
2) A+ Grade
3) Gold Medal

Thanks for the nachos, friend.
