[Hankman: Madness Asylum]

Nice Flash

The song was awesome, but there were a few sequences where the beat of the song seemed out of line with what was happening on the screen.. While it doesn't make or break a flash, it would have looked and sounded better. On the same note of sounds however, it was strange how little you had, and somewhat jarring. Besides the explosions near the start and the guy talking on the radio, there wasn't anything, but that made the other sounds seem so very out of place.

Graphics were good, fit in with the Madness style well... except the guns. The guns looked atrocious. While that's fine with most flashes, in Madness the weaponry is supposed to look almost better than the people, so I was fairly disappointed in the box like firearms that you used.

Also, story wise... okay I know most Madness flashes have very little story... but this one was supposed to allude to Batman I think (I caught a few references), but there was nothing at all to explain where he was (outside the subtitle) and why he was there. So I was left watching random killing, which, admittedly has been done much better.

[Madness: Mad Revenge]

Brutal and Vicious... Perfect

The violence, totally unnecessary... and oh so very perfect. The drawing was unique to the madness world, the sounds were smooth on my computer, and the visuals were astounding.

[Stamp on the Ground]

Catchy and cute

The song you used is very catchy, and I enjoy just listening to it, but your animation style is very cute as well, and I couldn't help but go "awww" when I saw some of the characters.

There were small bits of humour to play along with too, and it made the flash easy and enjoyable to watch. Very well done.

[M.O.T.O.R]

Well crafted

First off, just having voice acting was a plus over most madness voices. While it was a little... dreary, especially the female jedi, the rest wasn't too bad.

The characters, while no fully madness worked here, and looked quite good.

Now as for the violence. Well it was really well done. The fighting on the station had some pretty creative bits in it, and the inclusion of a small space battle was something you don't see in your everyday Madness flash.

DutchinLive responds:

Glad to see a well thought out review, I appreciate it! I'm no great voice actor, and my friend who played the female Jedi was pretty nervous, as it was her first time doing any voice acting ever, but I think they worked out good, still learning the finer points of audacity and working on my acting to make it more authentic.

The space battle is my forte! <3 bit metal things that go pew pew pew!

Thanks again for the review.

[Day of the Madness]

Loved it!

Not only worthy of Madness, but also of zombie films. All the small little references to various zombie movies already made with lines and the characters you presented (from what I saw, original Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, remake of Dawn of the Dead, Resident Evil Apocalypse, and even L4D) fit in to make a wonderful tapestry.

While not as over the top in the action as most madness, it was bloody, brutal and violent enough to fit in perfectly, as well as the small bits that were very madness styled in the action.

I like the use of Hydralisks and Mutalisks to make the zombie sounds. Creepy and unique. Another unique bit of your work in the madness world in Female characters. Saw them in one other piece, but they weren't very obviously female (aside from long hair and voices).

I hope I don't have to wait until next year to see the conclusion (or perhaps more if it comes to that, I love this particular series), but if I do, I can wait patiently for another flash as good as this one.

Also, to satiate my curiosity, what's the third one gonna be called?

LittleLuckyLink responds:

Thanks, as for the third, maybe Dusk of the Madness?

[With My Mind's Madness]

Blown Away

Well... when it first started playing I was kinda wondering why it was called madness, because even though the characters looked generally like the normal madness characters, the animation was completely different.

Regardless, the rest of the piece made me forget that. This was something new out of the madness realm, and it worked really well. The religious tone and symbols clashing with the modern technology worked really well somehow.

Now, even though there was no sound effects, just the song, I think it worked really well. The story was told with the lyrics and images mixing together into a tapestry of violence.

[Pico Epsilon]

Well done, nice take

A nice twist on the fairly entrenched Pico lore. The story was much more somber than usual for Pico, and the jokes while crude (and that's the way its supposed to be) were subtle and well placed. The animation was quite stunning, and the action entertaining and over the top. The song you used was perfect for the events depicted in your piece. The credits were a good idea too.

All around, I can't find much wrong with this piece. Voices would have been nice, but its debatable whether or not they actually would have helped your movie, or even detracted from it.

[Dance of Lies 2-The Curse]

Poor

This turned out to be a music video more than anything. There wasn't too much story at all, and you even changed the way your character looks, which dosn't make any sense to me at all. Also you went from your first in this series, which was supposed to be background for the shadow in Lilium, to this which dosn't mention the shadow at all. You also went from what seemed like an action piece to this music video like one, just seems off to me.
On the plus side nice song.

[Lilium-Dance of Lies pt.1]

Decent, nothing more

Unfortunately, because it is a fan-piece / tribiute to Lilium it is doomed to comparison. You animation skills are pretty good, but when compared to the original's work it dosn't stand up.
Plus, there was no depth to this piece compared to the original. It took the same art style of Lilium but it just turned into an action piece. While the action was good, this would have been much better had it been on its own instead of attached to Lilium.

[Fallen Angel Ep. 1 (Pt3)]

worth the wait

I loved the original teaser trailer, and have waited and wondered when or even if this would come out. Now it has, and its as wonderfully drawn, and animated, as I had hoped. Great artwork, sounds, music, everything was great. I will wait eagerly for episode 2
