why is this number one again?
Over the flash cartoon wasn't bad but in no way does this deserve the number one spot in the portal. ElCapitanEl did a fantastic job of reviewing this cartoon and since I totally agree with him I'm not going to reiterate the same points.
Anyways I definetly like the feeling of this cartoon, and it'd be great if you turned this into a series.
Awesome
Dude, this is a masterpiece, I loved it. From the music, to the fighting, and fluidity of the whole lot. Keep it up man, I really enjoyed it.
Hell yeah
Well like captain said, the back history of the chars is lacking. But there is only so much you can do in a 5 minute cartoon right? but other than that. Its one of the best things i have watched on this site. Very nicely done, it gave me chills. But keep up the good work I expect to see many more good things come from you.
Does not deserve the praise
As a flash cartoon, you have mastered animation, and you have not cliched the action, which is a massive feat.
However, I feel that people are neglecting to point out that there was no explanation to the characters. This seemed to be the end of a saga, and the backhistories of the characters MUST be explained for this movie to deserve all the praise it is getting.
If we looked at this as a movie, and it was being compared to to a hundered other short films, you'd be lucky to get 70th place. I feel the connection between the centaur, the main character, the pixie, and the king need explaining. The graveyard warriors had no reason to be there.
My suggestion is make a prequel. Explain the people. Otherwise it's just so much violence backed by superb animation. But there needs to be plot.
You're good, but not perfect.
Congratulations. Not enough people do the "fantasy" genre without ripping from Lord of The Rings. Faieres and a Centaur make this one a breath of fresh air. You're animation is a smooth as diarreah, something alot of artists need to work on. Fight scenes were wonderful. The sound could have been done better. More than anything, the voice-overs were terrible. The music was so muffled that it ruined the final fight. Good choice of soundtrack and SFX. Make sure to get better voices, please.
What the biggest problem was is your style. Using cliched anime styled characters make the flash seem very very unoriginal. I noticed portions fight scenes have been done to death in anime. One I'd like to mention is the lightning fast one-hit-kill samurai slashes often seen in duels. It's just not cool anymore to see a man normal for one second, posing with his sword, and then falling apart at the cuts. You need more originality.
