[A Satanic Message]

Devilishly funny!

Amazing work. The dialouge manages to be vividly unsettling and incredibly funny at the same time. It would make a great scare tactic at mainstream Sunday churches. The animation is nearly non-existent, but then again, your strength lies in your innate ability to produce witty banter. Well done.

[The Guy Inside My Head]

Delightful dark humor!

Once again, your witty dialouge and voicework strikes hilarity so perfectly that any animation or other visual content just seems like icing on the cake. Another grim comedy jewel for Matzerath.

[weird thingy!!!]

Interestnig but cut short.

I thought the choice of animation and music was unique and interesting, but I was disappointed by the abrupt cutoff. I'd like to see more surreal work along these lines.

[Priest Trilogy : Part 1]

Flesh it out.

It has its strengths and its faults. I love the artistry - it's both vivid and dark. However, the movie felt very slow paced, especially in places where it should have been exactly the opposite. This is especially noticeable when the demon is rushing towards the protagonist. The animation is somewhat sparse, giving it more of a slideshow or comic feel than a movie. That's fine, but just be sure of what you're aiming for. Finally (don't worry, I did like it), be sure to flesh out a more distinct story. There's a lot of demon-fighting/dark-tormented-hero here on NG and elsewheres. If you don't give specifics and depth, you run the risk of making this a rather pretty but generic animation. All that said, nice work!

[LOWTAX KILLS THE FURRIES]

Furtastic.

A little odd and unfocused, but I liked the frentic sloppy animation and brief scenes of violence.

Now I'm hungry.

Not terribly clever or funny, but true in one sense: that this concept is probably far more effective than most mental-health-adjustment informercials. Leaves me craving a hot dog.

[making friends]

I'm scared.

The uncomfortable part is that this is closer to the truth than I want to admit. Your bitter wit shines through once again with a biting look at the vapid, self-absorbed teenage girl mind. Well done!

[gut pup]

Pastry wars

Post-apocalpbic pastry wars? Or a symbolic look at Nazi Germany's Jewish atrocities through the use of confectionares? Regardless, a bizaare and interesting piece.

[my html]

Me likes.

A witty, introspective look into the feeble mind of the teenage female geek mind. Deceptively funny!

[Panning Fight]

Punch happy.

It would be obvious to compare this to Xiao Xiao, but so it is. Nice frentic, violent frame animation as this style does well. I do wish it were longer however.
