Impressive stuff

Well it may be late for Halloween but it pretty much qualifies for a valentine day flash... too bad there is no competition of that... Great animation. A little predictable and basic story but the ending was really good. The quality of the art is awesome. I'm very impressed.

meh

The skits were weak and I've seen most of them before. Only the face pain one made me smile and I've seen that one done before so I don't feel like anything here was particularly new and entertaining. The art was lazy no colors and I think the short fast flipping through jokes kinda cheeped the overall experience, there is no connection between skits. Also I don't like how you waited a month to put this on newgrounds. Boo. no go you; being lazy about submitting is not something to be proud of.

oozes genious.

How did tom change his shirt so fast? This is great because of how true and funny it is. I also like how basically the entire staff faved this movie.
You struck gold... or maybe blue.

good style.

Well this is pretty interesting to look at, so its great stylistically. I recommend streaming the music so it stays with the animation, and sink the flying musical notes and whatever else is on the screen to the music the whole way through.

Quicky

You know I used to think I didn't likes sticks... but its really not the sticks that I didn't like. I don't like the laziness sticks inspire because most stick movies follow the same generic formula which lacks storyline, voices, emotion, originality, character design, decent sound effects and more. That sort of animation is akin to a sudden burst of fireworks and receives much of its rating on based on shock and awe.
If you want to appeal to people who don't like sticks try just adding even just 10 seconds of some reason for the fight and personally I feel like adding eyes and mouths in closeups or the entire flash helps a lot in making your characters more interesting.
So was this stick animation successful in the shock and awe? Well it didn't really shock and awe me but I liked the style of the background. As there is no story to go on or think about really I'm going to have to give this a 7.
PS
Word of advice: telling stick haters not to vote or watch your movie will only make stick haters vote 0 without giving your movie a chance.

I'd probably have given you a 10 if I wasn't so disgusted and still waiting for a pelican to appear.

hahaha! This is my favourite review ever

lol totaly good *coughcoughbiased* review

Hail the power of NITROGEN!!!! All life dependeth on thy NITROGEN!!! Sorry I am obligated to do that.... Well done i have no complaints about these fact and the animation was fine.

EPIC! Characters remaining: 0 (sorry for the rant)

This little movie is quite amazing and its one of my top favorites. A while ago I looked at the animation closely and watched it a good many times to try and learn a little about animating fast pace action because one flash I'm slowly working on also has a lot of action going on and I'm always looking for more little tricks.

So I want to thank you for this great animation and what I have learned from it. The rest is me saying what I thought and then addressing others comments that lack objectivity... because it irritates me and I want to say it to get it off my mind. So sorry Ill ignore others next time.

I went through the reviews to see what people liked and disliked and I have to say a good portion of the comments can be best described as the uttering of a stupid person. I don't know how you managed to stay nice in your comments and not bash the hell out of them.

Anyway, In this flash there may be some ruff lines in the slow scenes of this animation but I don't feel like they detracted significantly from the flash. You might want to consider smoothing the lines in slow moving scenes (unless you really like that stylistically but I don't think it would detract from your style). I have noticed that new-grounders overreact for smooth lines.
Maybe the voices could have been slightly better acted but I actually kinda liked their gruffness and found them sufficient and not cheesy (probably because I can actually have a brain to imagine context and think outside what is explicitly stated) newgrounders go crazy for "perfect" voice acting
I loved the style and the color and can't imagine what brain disorder people who flat out call this anime. Seriously people get your definition checked then your eyes checked and if you still only see anime you can safely assume you have an agnosia or other miss-wiring of your brain (I'm employed as a neurobiologiest by the way). Ever heard of of 6 degrees of separation or convergent evolution or detailed cartoons?
Now for the plot: I found the plot to be sufficient and enjoyable it made me think I used my imagination I even got a little rush of adrenaline... yeah yeah we all wish things were longer but its a flash not a movie you pay to see in a theater. So I consider the length acceptable.
Also I think you should let those who can't understand suffer. They don't really need every detail explained to them in a way that even a 6 year old could understand. Make them use their brains its good for them. If you guys still don't understand I urge you to disscuss with others or ask without random needless down voting. What one is really saying when you say "I don't understand" 0 is "I'm a giant retard". By the way, if you really are 6, what the hell are you doing on newgrounds? I'm sorry your parents are so irresponsible.
How the girl lights the cigarette: really now that bothered you? wth?
How the characters skate: what? Do you guys skate everywhere and seeing this flash is going to cause you to mess up your movements and hurt yourself?
I actually like a little unrealistic and imaginative movement in a flash makes it feel like another amazing world... oh wait it is! face-palm yourself if you complained about this.
Giving a low review because the movie was in the first spot is there a rule against that? Maybe its only a unspoken moral rule? I don't know, but if you don't like it in first place vote something else up or vote it down where it actually effects the list placement.
I thought this flash was completely original at least as far as anything can be original... yes, COMPLETELY ORIGINAL I too have seen rush ++, even air gear and get this I've even seen someone race on skates before. Racing and skating both human activities much older than anything you have ever watched. Now lets see because it has a large city setting (something thousands of years old) rtil is obviously copying from Vinnie. LOL *grumble*

Summary of rant to reviewers: I say this flash is great if you agree or disagree be objective use intelligence with your reviews please.
Rtil: great flash listen not to the stupid.
