Alpha-Nuva's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Madness Gladius]

I think this had real potential to win the contest this year, if you varied up the violence a little bit more. Your sense of weight and timing shows you have a lot of patience animating and sense of motion. I also dug your sense of style (the heel-up feet, rather than a flat-foot design). I would've liked to see more gladiator-influenced violence/interactions to spice up the animation a bit. Maybe the crowd would engage in the fight or more difficult sentries would pop up. I think if you make your animations more complex like that, you'll have some top-quality work.

Diotoons responds:

I kinda made this under pressure because i was already working on something else but wasn't satisfied with the result. I dropped that animation and started working on this, but i had almost no time left. If i had planned it better i would've made it longer with more fights and details and stuff because i had a lot of fun making this. Anyway i'm glad it's well recieved and thank you for your review! :D

[Madness Cleanification]

The fight scene with the janitor was pretty slick and got some chuckles out of me. Your style's gotten better.

GabrielBarsch responds:

its the first time you give me a good review...it means alot to me, i always wanted to be a madness animator like you since 2007, thank you very much <3 and keep going the good work with stainville

[Goombario's Story]

Nostalgia'd pretty hard. Good effort, man. I liked the bit with Mario speaking through jumps. The voices were all pretty accurate to the characters, particularly Goombella and Bow. You even nailed down all of their little habits - even Kooper, though, personally, I feel he could've been toned down a bit.

I'd like to see more stuff like this from you soon.

Eastbeast responds:

Thanks Nuva, I knew you were a Paper Mario fan haha. Looking forward to your work also, including the next Stainville

[Rockstar Jones Anthem]

genius

stormgardens responds:

Thank you :)

[Poofish 2: Double Doody]

Hahaha! That ending got me good. Definitely got a good chuckle out of this. Keep doing this thing that you're currently doing.

CaffeineClown responds:

Thank you for the review! And thanks :) I know poo-humor is arguably overdone on the internet, but hey, its fun to make haha!

[When they want you dead]

I guess I didn't update my Flash player, because most of the effects were black boxes. Still, I was thoroughly impressed even before I rewatched this on Youtube. Very interesting filming style. The art, although pleasantly gritty, looked a little rushed, and the story was bland, but when weighed against the sheer amount of hard work you invested in this, that can be overlooked.

I really want to say something else negative about this, simply out of envy, but I can't. This is a very well-done cartoon.

Coft responds:

Black boxes!? That's... possible. But like one in a million. Interesting.
You're right, I left lots of scenes unpolished for time reasons, maybe if I was able to leave out a part of the story, it would be more nice and fun to watch. Too big project for me to handle, I guess.
Thank you man.

[Madness Attemptation]

I was expecting Tricky to hit the tree at the end. Loved the style. Keep doin ya thing, man!

DrJuiceMan responds:

Damn that would've been a much better idea XD. Thanks a bunch

[Madness Beatdown]

SLICK, MAN! Loved the stretchy look you gave the characters. Your sense of design is great - the coloring job you did on this was extremely eye-catching. Wouldn't be surprised if you nailed first place.

Osmino responds:

Thanks, man. I'm crossing my fingers.

[DotM: Overtime [TRAILER]]

i slam my 5 in this bitch like it's a vending machine.

LittleLuckyLink responds:
