This was quite excellent. Well written, and well drawn. Not just for a flash, but anime in general. Nice work.
Reviews for "Valhalla Knights"
OMFG!
wow i really liked it, but i gave 10 to sound cause of the music of the introduction! i thought only me and myself knew Children of Bodom!!
keep up the awsome work =D
A flash that is sure to take off
Seriously, this flash is no joke; it was so good I thought at every turn it was just going to be a teaser. But it was a full episode that was ended at a perfect moment.
Graphics: 9
The graphics have obviously been done by a skilled artist. The movements were fluid enough and a good amount of detail was put into the art. I think that the author should take some time softening up the images to make them look a bit more human. Also, it might help to slightly blur a fist or a weapon when it is being swung, it seems to make it much more cooler with little extra effort.
Style: 8
I like how the background story is going. Sure we all know it is going to become a save-the-world thing, but the introduction of the main character makes the story a bit more original. I have a feeling that her dad never died from just a bullet, but rather there was some more deliberate and more nefarious element at work.
The one thing that put me oof a bit was when he decided he was going to find answers. It was like "hey after 9 years of waiting and since I am probably fired, its adventure time!" There is two justifications to this he either was always looking for answers in his spare time, every day, or he just decided to do it now out of the blue. If it is the former, then why did the girl say "warm" all of a sudden as if this is the first time he is carrying the artifact along? If it was the latter, there needs to be better explanation as to why he decided to do this now. Saying that it was his memories that made him get off his ass, isn’t a good enough excuse, since he was probably thinking about this his whole life. I hope you refine the story in the next submission.
Sound: 8
The music synced very well with what was happening and was not intrusive. I particularly like the song that was playing in the beginning at the battle at Valhalla, it sounded like something from Nightwish.
The only problem I had was that the music wasn’t so captivating that it would be too memorable, but that is what you give up when you don’t want the music to intrude upon the other aspects of your flash. Thus, this point was not really that big of a deal.
Also I liked the voice acting, Ken's voice sounded cool. I hope all your characters voices are as well done.
Violence: 6
The fight scene looked amazing, but it is obvious that you took a few shortcuts. For instance you never seemed to actually show the fight, merely just the Valhalla Knight getting thrown back, you did this many times. It seemed at the end of the first segment, the knight used some kind of dramatic kamikaze-type attack. But you would think that if that person was that desperate, you could have shown a little more blood and a little more wear and tear upon that character. So that you viewer knows that she is gravely hurt and losing the battle.
Interactivity: 5
You have the standard buttons that on could make if they had half a brain and cared about the viewer. I really like that you made a skip button since the preloader animation was rather slow.
Since this was a movie, this score doesn’t really count much and you filled what is generally required in terms of interactivity of a movie. If you want to improve on this you might want to consider adding in scene selection and quality controls.
Humor: 5
I can see you tried to put a bit in without making the movie too long. I thought the twitchy movements of his angry boss to be a bit amusing. I am sure that you will put some more in other episodes, but for now you are just introducing the plot.
Overall: 9
This is good, really really good. I will be very saddened if you don’t continue with this series. Just work on the above things and I think that this series will become a total hit.
This was a cool flash
If your this good than you should make more!
very good!
