[FF: Mixed in Balamb2(1/3)]

Well... sorta... kinda... umm... bleh...

"yes all drawings with a mouse"

It shows, badly. A lot of copying, old jokes, anime "shinyness" and you know.. just isn't funny or even artistic anymore. I couldn't do better, but this isn't a "high-class" flash, no matter how you look at it. A lot of it was just copied art from the FF -series, though Sephiroth looked nice in 1 or 2 _sketches_. As a movie / episode / serie, this isn't a very entertaining one or a high quality one. As a pack of artistic drawings it also fails to be one. I know people will like this flash since it has 2 top likeable things in it: Final Fantasy Elements and a lot of jokes / inside FF jokes etc.

But I just didn't open for this one. Sorry. :-/

Copied art from the FF-series?
what do you mean? if you mean we guided ourselves from pre-made characters, we did, obviously; but if you mean something like trazing, you are really wrong.

Upeeta :)
Kiva nähdä vähän suomalaista animaatiojälkeä myös. En oo mikään splätter fani mutta ny ku kerran näkee suomalaisen artistin ni oli pakko antaa se 5 ja täydet iha kotimaan takia. Hehe kuis kehtaat noin ihania kaneja murhata? ;)

And for the english, I just stated how delightful it was to see a finnish animator and that I liked his animation.

Rajunen responds:

Arvasin että täältä löytyy vähintää yks arvostelu, joka antaa pisteet vaa suomalaisuuden takia :) Ihan kuin siitä olisi mukamas haittaa...

...but I still think you should rate the animation on the ground of quality instead of nationality. Anyway, thanks for the positive comments. ;)

[Tribute to the Homies]

Anime fan right?

All your characters look like talibans with gay beards. The whole athmosphere was really 'homoerotic' I'd say. Also those thick eyebrows made them look like talibans. Also was the music from Full Metal Alchemist or Srapped Princess? Can't recall... Anyways, the animation was good but the art and most of the backgrounds were pretty bad or odd looking. A lot of bitmap tracing and odd swings with the pain brush in Marcromedia MX. If you'd only have a bit more experience in drawing you could do wonders I think. Just waste a little more time and maybe find some "How to Draw Manga" tutorials from the web and I think it'll go fine.

Thats my 50 cents.

Rufles responds:

I knew somebody would notice that they looked like taliban people. This is just me being lazy and not resizing the eyebrows. Things will be improved later down the road.

Nice.

What program did you use to create the CGA ( Computer Generated Animation ) ? I'm interested. :)

:[ Nice piece of animation ]:

It was a very interesting cartoon that had it's fun events and jokes. I guess the british people will get the most out of this, to the rest of us we just have to go trough the 2 usual steps of understanding british humor: 1) getting the joke and 2) trying to laugh at it. To say the least the humor wasn't as great as you would think. Anyways, it gave me a giggle or two and that was enough.

It goes without saying you know how to animate and do graphics, don't know about the voice acting though but then again you didn't have a huge budget.

Anyways the story was funny and interesting, though the ending wasn't really fun. Also there was too much gore at times that it felt that you basically ran out of ideas or jokes and just filled this space with blood and splatter. Don't get me wrong, it works for the major population out there, trust me. It's just that people like me who don't search for gore and blood on the net get somewhat disappointed when they find it in otherwise good animations.

Things I felt like needing in this flash were a scene selector and maybe some other nifty things. It's really hard to give the 'interactivity' score nowadays because there's really nothing you can add to a flash cartoon other than scene selector, extra footage, movie control buttons, replay etc. etc. and if someone does add them they really don't make the movie any better, just add a little cream ontop the already good coffie.

Anways, nice animation and keep making more.

Im Australian, maybe the Australian humor is just english humor... I mean we are all just pommy convicts.
