I Gave it A 5------

====Plus a 10. It's not because I love anime, even though I do, it's not even because I loved the cheezy characters or plot involved in this piece, but its because of the lack of respect you have shown to an artist.

The only reason you feel you can get away with bashing others is probably because you sit back in your little tiny --or big, depending on how much exercise you get-- chairs thinking that nothing can be done about your childish antics. To be honest, I wouldn't want to touch most of you with a ten foot pole to save my life. It doesn't take a genius to figure you out, so it's easier to just focus on what's important, the review, rather than the hate and hype you claim you aren't trying to generate from your blatant ill conceived opinions that don't have any merit what-so-ever. Those that read this review, you know who I'm referring to... There are many flashes on Newgrounds, with many more being added by the day. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but they don't have the right to lash out at anyone.

For those of you that do it, I'm not going to feed into your hatred. You obviously have some serious psychological issues that your parents have failed to do anything about, thus, accounts for your current behavior.

Anyone else that thinks this type of behavior is acceptable, you should come with me to work to see where people of this sort, END UP! I promise you that you won't follow in their foot steps... Anyway, if you don't like something that someone else has created, just do like the guy 7 pages back did in his review; just a simple, "I didn't like it, it wasn't my flavor, and a zero sufficed. No one wants to hear your emo rants. If doing this sort of thing makes you feel better about your lousy selves, by trying to make someone else feel bad, then I suggest strongly that you go get some help for yourselves, really... It's bad enough that 85% of the population suffers from some type of emotional disorder. Why don't you do something about your issues rather than try to make them someone else problem?

Uhm...

This is a great flash and overall series! I loved every one of them and take my hat off to you, sir. I'm sad to see it end after such a long run, but maybe you might decide to do a spin off or take it in another direction in the near future. There is always their school life to accompany their complex love life and plenty of characters for some interesting side stories. My only question at this point is what happened to the little hedgehog in step 4? Did it die? I hope not.

Why is Newgrounds so fickel?

Here you have a sight full of aspiring artist that turn out wonderful
flashes such as this one. I mean, even if it was on the cute side and
a bit cheesy at times, it was still grade A work in my book. I can
see the effort that was put into this flash and it did not waste my
time, viewing wise, which is why I voted 5. When I look at this and only
see 9 reviews mine about to become 10-11? Then I see that stupid
dancing Neil flash that is on front page and I have to ask myself,
is that what newgrounds wants? Why should decent artist even
bother with this site if that is what they want to represent it.
I don't mean to carry over my own personal feelings into this
review but I'm still bothered by the whole damn thing. I really
hope that you don't stop making quality flashes such as this
because it is truly a wonderful flash. I will send it to all my
friends to check out and I hope that you are granted more
and better reviews and definitely front page because this
deserves to be there not that that stupid ass Dancing Neil
that is a mockery to what flash should represents, and no
offence but if you find that crap funny what does that
say about you as an individual?

You did say it was a remake but...

I feel like the guy that everyone hates on american idol but like him I could care less. This was a waste of flash talent. Could have just devoted your time to making a new story but didn't. Could have gotten unique voice actors rather than poorly recycling and butchering the ones from the game. Graphics look nice, decent anyway, style please...sound...it came from the game so I'm not going to give good vocie acting a bad score even if it is recycled. Violence DBZ=Violence. Interactivity=decent menu. Humor: I didn't find this funny in the least bit other than the actual idea to remake this. My score is self explanitory wether you agree with it or not. Stop giving this 5's just cause it involves Sonic. It doesn't deserve it. (Because I said that statement alone everybody will probably give it a five now). Thankgod it was taken off of front page at least.

Chakra-X responds:

I really am having a hard time understand why some people dislike authentic voices from the REAL voice actors and want a voice actor that doesn't even fit him, and not his real voice.

Pfft, I hardly think it was "taken down". More like "replaced" since I happened to submit this the day before Clock day.

Average...

It's a good thing I wasn't able to write a review for this when I saw it this morning. Its only strong point was the drawings. The animation was cliché but that is not your fault entirely. I mean it’s hard to do original animation these days but you need to reach in and pull out a new trick or two out of that hat of yours. I know you could have done better but you just decided to half ass this one, which it shows. No color, mediocre animation, no real plot or story. I felt like I was watching a pencil test animation or something in the production stage which if that is the case then it should have been stated. Try to put a little more effort into the next one.

Vermillion2 responds:

Thanks for the review, but as I stated earlier. This was just practice on doing a sword fight scene i made a stupid story as i went along, and this by far the most frame by frame animation i've done on my own, im not trying to be jesus

A Real Blast to say the least...

Okay after my 6th time watching this (truly incredible) I can't help but be impressed by the visuals and the over all original style that this flash definitely presented. An excellent choice of voice actors but vs. the music it nearly killed the effect you were trying to present. I see this happen too often in most flashes. You got to learn to mix you voice over, sound effects, and bg sounds in order to produce the appropriate atmosphere other wise it really brings down the level of quality your trying and, undoubtfully, have the ability to produce. The style got a 10, which is the first, and probably the last I will ever give because it deserved it. I really liked the character voices it just too bad you drowned them out with the sound effects and music. Would have given this flash a 5 if not for that. Sorry but its better to be aware of this now and work it out for future flashes than to keep making the same mistake over and over again which is why I keep emphasizing the sound quality. Check out a couple of my flashes and you will get an idea of what the sound quality should sound like. Nice work over all! Lets see what you produce the next time around ^^

I think this time could have been better spent...

Okay, don't get the wrong idea behind the heading of this review. For a group collab this was an awsome effort on everyones parts. I was very impressed with everyones work some more than others but I saw some impressive stuff presented in this presentation. My only neg crtique is why didn't you put all that effort into something original? I mean I see you decided you wanted to do a tribute of all your faviorite animes which there is nothing wrong with that! I
just feel that after witnessing something like this what could have been with all your efforts placed on something truely original. I hope that you will aim for that goal in your future works and this will not be the last collab from you guys. Believe me I was very impressed and that is something hard to achieve with me. ^_^

Very Nice My Friend^^

I hate claymation usually but this was really appealing. You must have put in some trmendous effort into this animation and it truely reflects the hard work placed into it. The motion was incredible. I'd really like to know how you were able to make it so smooth. I could barely tell that you had moved any part of the figure at all which is really impressive. Please let me know k?

MackProductions responds:

animating it at 20 frames per second helps a lot for the smoothness :P

Sweet song but..

I loved the music but that alone unfortunetly can't carry an animation through. This lacks consistency in the nature of its design. You seem to jerk back and forth between color and black n white trying to give it a mangaish feel but at the same time bring it to life with some color. I suggest you either leave it black and white or just take the time to color the whole thing. The animation was much better than the first one so on to the third for me.

Sweet action going on in thsi one

I must admit that when I first was the foot animation (which was weak to me), I started to close the window but decided to hang in there to see if it would pickup any.

I'm glad I did. I was not a huge fan on the graphics but considering you drew the whole thing with a mouse my compliments to you. I know how difficult that is being that my earlier works started out that way.

The animation was superb with a few flaws here and there but nothing a little experince won't cure. You got talent my friend. The only thing I can really knock on this other than the limited sound was it's shortness but within the time frame it was some sweet fbf.

Take your time on the next and I hope you can clean up some of those flaws to truely turn out a unique flash cause your certainly capable of doing such ^^

Hun...My head hurts from all the projects I need to complete*!@ Anyone got an asprin? Oh wait...I'm allergic to those XD
