"kick ass"

date: March 26, 2008

I gotta say that for the times that i watched it, all i could think about were the old Akira Kurosawa films. it was very well done amazing style. unfortuanlty i felt it was to short but then again a true battle of swords will never last a long time...unless its in anime lol.

Author's Response:

WoW! Thank You...

It really takes someone with heart to actually understand the movie...a lot of people don't look at things from an art perspective and are looking do razzle dazzled with graphics...sometimes you just don't need them, you know :)

thanks for the review...

"Wellll...."

date: January 1, 2007

It looked cool.But I couldn't hear anything cause i'm using a computer with no speakers attached right now,I'll watch it with sound later.Maybe with sound it'll make sense,so far it looks to me like some samurai guys are just sittin' around and then somebody
comes in and they slice him up...probably the pizza delivery...D'oh.

Author's Response:

thanks for the review...

you're right, re-watch it witht the sound turned up, this is definitely an atmosphere piece and the sound is probably like 70% of the movie...

no plot, if you understand a warriors spirit, this will make perfect sense to you...

"Capturing the spirit."

date: August 8, 2006

Though brief, I feel that what you lacked in length was made up for with the artistic quality that you displayed here. Interestingly enough, I also got an "anime" vibe from this. The light flash exposing the first samurai reminded me of Kenshin (from Rurouni Kenshin). I don't know if that was intentional, or accidental. Either way, it didn't subtract from what you were going for, which I feel is a personal vision of what the "Spirit of the Samurai" represents.

Fast and vibrant, strong animation and bold coloring -- I believe you captured the spirit pretty well. ;)

Author's Response:

thank you...everything you say is true...

I regret that this is a short piece, but it's message is still present...

thanks for the kind review...

"Amazing"

date: August 4, 2006

I like it it has a confesent air around it and shows that you have much promise... I would like to see more of this kind, for not all have to be long to inspire a great deal of people... Oh and good name BTW!

Author's Response:

...I think you understand this piece...and yes I am working on a much more "illustrated" samurai piece...although it has proven to be tiresome so I take breaks from it here and there...

glad you liked it... :) thanks for the kind review...

"Very short, yet very cool"

date: July 13, 2006

I liked the way you did this flash. The lighting on the samurai was awesome, and the swordwork at the end was pretty cool, even if we couldn't necessarily see it. The flash was very short, of course, yet that doesn't necessarily take away from its quality. Of course I would've liked to see it longer. The flash in itself was very simple, which works for what it was.

Author's Response:

...thanks, it was experimental...and my first flash really...improved much since then...

thanks for the review...

"pie"

by: Lorkas
date: July 12, 2006

Good, very good. But it was realy short for such a good flash.

By the way, were those japanese words in the begining real, or was
that just some random stuff.

Author's Response:

they were real...they spelt "Samurai" to my knowledge...idk I used a Japanese font, I assumed that's what it meant, but I am sure there is a katakana for samurai, must have just been the letters in Japanese...

yeah it was short...Im working on a more intense piece now...it's taking me forever though...

"Short, but I liked it"

date: June 30, 2006

I love the style of the flash, the red on the black background was cool. The drawing of the dead samurai looked very genuine, just like 15th century Japanese artwork. It was A bit short thats the only problem really. Also the play button could do with A invisible box around it so you don't have to click the letters.

Author's Response:

this is a very old and basic piece...I wanted to capture how I felt by being inspired by the movies I mentioned in the "authors statements" part of the page...

came out okay...

thanks for the review...

"to short"

by: Imacow
date: June 29, 2006

yea it was way to short, the graphics were awesome even though it was only black with red guys, the styles nothing new, the sound was pretty good, the violence was very high, interactivity= play button, and it wasn't funny, good job 4/5

Author's Response:

well, you and a bunch of others have agreed on that, but Im passed the 5k views and Im part of a genre so I cant delete the flash...

but people seem to either love it or hate it...like most things...but more people seem to enjoy it then not...
