jthrash's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[SpongeBob Anime Ep1: Bubble Bass Arc]

I both love and hate how perfectly this captures the typical tropes of modern anime. I loved spotting all the references and I hate how it finally made me realize why I’m getting so tired of Studio Trigger’s particular trope-dependent style...anyway!

I’m not sure I’m a big fan of the sponsorships being identical to the YouTube version of the video. I get this takes a lot of money and effort to make this kind of animation, especially getting ahold of Japanese VAs, but I think the “commercial break” did its job advertising and I wasn’t a fan of Narmak talking over the ending OP and interrupting it with images every few seconds. The empty space at the end that was probably supposed to link to another YouTube video aptly demonstrates why this doesn’t work as well on Newgrounds. Still, excellent animation overall and it really did feel like a self-parodying Studio Trigger anime!

[Plants]

I’d be lying if I said the reason I wanted to watch this was not because the woman looked kind of hot, but it was a cute and simple animation once I did watch it. Great job!

[Sunrise]

Okay, fine, Mom, maybe some of the toddler shows I used to watch really were a tad creepy...

[COMEDY]

Newgrounds humor in a nutshell.

[Different animation/art styles]

This gives me so many ideas and even makes me want to consider doing traditional 2D animation again (These would be much, much more expensive to do in 3D)! I’m only giving 4 stars because some of these animations really need an epileptic seizure warning, but otherwise this is definitely going on my “Tutorials” playlist!

Trippple responds:

Some of the styles would be interesting to see in 3D though.
Thank you for pointing out the epilepsy warning! I haven't thought about that. I will get on it!

["GOLD BLOCKS" - LilyPichu Animated (by Baglets)]

Never heard of these YouTubers but Lily’s voice reminds me of Mabel from Gravity Falls.

[FACE MASKS - Don't Be THAT Guy]

This guy is still much better than most of the customers I have to put up with nearly every day. At least he uses his words.

[Disorderly Conduct]

I like how the police make it all about them and not the person they’re supposed to help. Just like in real life.

[Plankton Gets Shot]

That ending was the best part.

[New Tesla X A-12 presentation[2020]]

Why are unpolished 3D animations on Newgrounds more whimsical and even closer to the charm of traditional animation than most $100 million animated blockbusters?

BunnyHopDeveloper responds:

My guess..thats what happens when they polish everything..Including movement that looks closer to realism. Tho, even they admit that you must exaggerate the movement, but mostly they still make it closer to realism...My personal sweet spot blockbuster movie would be 'Hotel trasylvania'. :) (Mostly from movement perspective)

By the way..Thanks for 5 stars and kind words. It was some challenge to make it on time :)
