[TOME Episode 07]

Wow, whole new steps made and all for the better. More charecter development for Kirb and Flamy, new characters and plot twists, all jammed together for this newest piece. Cudos to the new Sound effects, the background works team and to the VA team in the dialouge and the new song! Oh boy Kirbopher do you have a great team here!

My 5 stars are not for nothing!

And... is that The LivingTombstone??? When the hell did YOU start helping TTA out?!?! This is nuts! (And I still think of the show as TTA, Tome is still something I have to get used to... because for me thats when this show began :)

[TOME Episode 05]

Loved it! Really do, its great to see this series go so far. I myself have been an avid fan since the original's season 1 (lovable 2d!), I got in just when second season was coming online and haven't seen anything else like it. Lots of love to your sound effects designer and music score contributer because they do an amazing job!

Still, the style has changed drastically from sprites to full on animation and with comes some visual kinks i think could definitely be improved on. Character poses are simplified (a good thing) and for most of the time is very fluent but due to some of the templates used I see things that bother me a bit but don't detract from the overall quality. An example would be Zetto's (yay!) posture when attacking or simply looking at the other end of the screen simply looks like he's posing with no particular direction then actually looking to kill something which was his usual entrance. A little awkward at times but not big, but adds up in not just new charecters but the main front runners and the templates then run on. Some running animation used like Niloks often times just dosen't match the speed of his pace, or Alpha when he was running up the wall. (I'm sure why I don't yet like Zetto's shooting pose, might be because of his legs and I have a slight bias due to his old sprite sheet ;})

I understand that the animators (I don't know who or how many) get one template and reverse for the sake of not having to do doubles of everything but for times like Zetto's cyberarm appearing on the wrong arm half the time, right-left switches tend to stick out in a mind. This usually isn't a problem because most characters are symmetrical.

These are just points I've been seeing consistently in the animation but is not the main output i find from the series. Its great, its wonderful and evolving with every new publishing but groveling to the wonderful crew probably gets redundant in the comments. As a fan I'm glad TOME is still going on but I still see room to grow and in time be filled. What made TOME so great was the leaps and bounds being made in its visuals (voice acting is top notch!) and great story telling. This was a series that grew from a choppy mish of sprites to well... a cornerstone to internet animation. Running strong and making fans proud.

Keep up the great work and anticpate future improvements. Till next time, and have a great time!

[TOME Episode 01]

This is absolutely amazing!

I grew up on the series, probably the first flash series that came up on, back when the first season and parts of second were coming out phrozenflame or something just as old! And when i heard the series was being dropped, i got a little depressed... the sprite series were old school genius! hands down, TTA is a classic and whats fabulous about it... is that it's coming back stronger, better, with voices, oh tis a happy day! I love how the characters have changed, definitly better (the old ones were awesome still =D) What would be extra icing on the cake was if the sprite TTA series could be squeezed in a little into the op or credit sequence. something of a visual tribute to the original classic... ehe! love this series, thank you kirb!

Next Gen!

Its one of those creations that are a sign post for future creativity!
This is definitly a representation of stick animation! awesome!

[Girlchan in Paradise Ep1]

this is SUPPOSED TO BE a satire, which is awesome

this is very well done but I have to agree this REALLY hard to watch without laughing or feeling the need to kill a DBZ fan... no offense. LAST OF ALL why isn't there more frame time for the girl? what with the title

[Valhalla Knights 2]

Awesome, just, awesome.

everthing is great, action sets the standard on newgrounds.
The only thing that i have a problem with is some of the voice acting where noises like grunts or whines are in awkward places, sound seems a "tad" off at places but is hardly noticibale, you've come VERY FAR compared to the Alien Report series which was very fine work. I can only see you go up in quality for your work, hope to see more of your work soon.
good luck

[Stamp on the Ground]

Wow, just wow

Wow, i just checked the top 50 stuff posted here at NG and i made this random click that connected me to this vid. It's amazing, half the charecters i know, other haven't got a clue, but the two charaters from 'inhuman' (a kick ass webcomic) just about made me freak out. That was an awsome bit, although i wander how Grey is goanna play the game, BECAUSES HE'S BLIND, AHAHHAHA. (being blind is nothing to be laughed at). But this is by far one of the best things that has been posted on NG, which i support strongly to be put up on hte net. TY. You have made my night. Good Night. =)

[Tarboy]

wow, that was just wow

i didn't know that there would be animation work made this well on the net. Everyone point to make about animation has been hit. Music, Art, Concept, Voice, Charecterization, Flow, Fights, Special Affects, Drama, and importantly Plot. This is an ingenius piece created for everyone to see. This will definitlty hit the vids on Newgrounds, and if it isin't by the tim of the awards, then there will be a verbal riot!

[Space Noodles - Pilot]

Nice, very nice.

Artwork is gold, theme is gold, while the voice acting is bronze. This is definitly a great piece of animation with a sound idea but the voice acting which is very important to any kind of entertainment is somewhat lacking, a little childish and slow but you may have had timing difficulities which we I don't know of. Whatever you decide to do, you can only do better. Good luck.

This was the first time I had ever put together any sort of story so it was a good learning experience to find out it's a lot more difficult than I first realised;P Thanks, glad you enjoyed it still!
