[Story Tag 2b: Blown Away]

At last

I've been seeing screenies of this for a while. I had all but forgotten about it since I hadn't heard anything in so long. I also haven't seen you OR gel around the forums much lately, though I'll be the first to admit that I've been away for days at a time, myself. Good to see that you guys are still working away though. A well put together animation.

[A Simple Line 7]

Great!

Well, you already know I think everyone's contributions were smooth and fun. Sorry I wasn't able to make that preloader pong in time. It was just such short notice on an already busy weekend. The submission is solid all the same. Looking forward to future installments :D

TOXIC-BOMB responds:

Hey, thanks man! I was hoping you would be able to contribute, but I know your a busy guy. Thanks for concidering though :) Who knows, you could be in an upcoming episode! GO NEGATIVE!!!! <3 x9999999999999999

[part 2: synj vs horrid]

Ah, at last

Great to see this finally come together. The rest rounded out well. I'm sure the real party's over at synj.net so I won't waste my words here ;)

[Days after those days ++]

Glad I looked into it.

After seeing yet another '++' marked submission take a top spot, I decided to finally check out these works. Went through each one, and I'm predominantly impressed. While I don't like the anime backbone of the style, it has some elements that give it a more unique edge. Some of stuff (Worlds++) even reminds me of the style I work on when I'm playing with animation. Full paintbrush, full frame by frame, and pretty wacky, hectic and surreal. I don't know if you read reviews on old subs, but if you do, I've got a question. Which sort of days are you referring to in the title of this submission, if you wouldn't mind saying? I have a guess or two, based on my own experience, but it could be a lot of things. Before I ramble any further, I'll wrap up. Nice animations, and I'll be keeping an eye out for more in the future.

those days where youre on yer bed and dont wanna get up, even if everybody is doing something, its not depression nor sleep, its just laying there (8

thanks

[Thicker Than Water]

So he gets a different stick, haha

Quite funny. Certainly among the better unanimated NG submissions. I enjoy the morbid and somewhat bleak style of humour employed throughout.

[The Suburban Ninja 2]

I love this series

Animation could be refined, but the humour has been great so far in this series. Very over-the-top without being stupid. Kind of clever. Unique style.

[Salad Fingers Episode 4]

Still pretty good

The series isn't wearing out too bad, even despite high expectations. Of course it doesn't have the same effect it did the first time, but it's good that you're keeping consistent with the twisted style and bizarre humour. It's good to see fairly lengthy episodes as well.

[kegel 'downhill ski race']

Good to see you back

If my memory serves me well, you haven't submitted in a while. It's good to see you active on NG, keeping with the same high quality of sound, graphics and writing the series has always held. I stopped by your site the other day, but it seemed you had to pay to see most of the content?

jato responds:

yeah, to get to old stuff on my site you have to pay 85 cents.

and i do apologize about that.

i actually hate it. but servers aren't free and people steal my stuff all the time. but they just point directly to the file on my server.

i got a bill for over $1,000 in bandwidth overages for ONE month!

so i put it behind a pay-to-view-old-stuff system after that.

the worst offenders? japan and russia. those guys would steal my stuff and bandwidth all the time.

ironically, i'm really flattered, though, that japanese and russians are even watching this stuff. or doing whatever they are doing to get it in front of more viewers...

[Manga-Gaga 100 Omake]

Decent, overall

The graphics were at least par, though it would be good to see less reliance on tweening and more on frame-by-frame. My real quip is that a more obvious nod to num 1000 512 KB Cache Mix should have been made, as the choice in music and a lot of creative elements were clearly borrowed.

GagaMan responds:

I didn't intenally borrow anything from that animation bar the music, which I hunted down on the artist's website.

[The Billy Goats Gruff]

Hahah, nice

Very funny variation on what was probably my favorite childhood story. Had some parts that were actually funny enough to laugh out loud at like when the troll got eaten and when the tangent where he fell in love, haha. Graphics weren't superior, but they suited the overall appeal. Voice acting was as good as anyone could ask for. Nice work.
