Here is its eulogy, a collection of the kind words written about it while still among the living. They shall live on forever in its place.

Happy Birthday, Nina!! This is a little animation I made you (it took 7 hours :[ ). I worked really hard on it and I hope you like it and I hope you have a great birthday! (This is Ryan, just so you know)
I also need to give some credit to Harrison (RESPRiT) for helping with some technical stuffs.
Oh yeah, and "First Date" song (c) Blink 182
EDIT: My bestustest frend RESPRiT made everything bettar. Give him all your love. YOU BETTER CHECK OUT HIS GALLERY DAMMIT. Now. Srsly
In the sappy way. And I am a sucker for the romance so I vote to save this. Good stuff.
Very touching! and very well done! nice smooth movement and nice anime drawings
It's not bad though. The one thing I noticed was that your animation was ahead of the song most of the video, get that synced up and you're good.
It's not the animation that's lagging, it's how you've set the music. Go change the music properties from "event", or what ever you have it set to, to "stream". Should fix the problem.
Otherwise, the animation was ok, not a big fan of the character design.
l liked the fact that the characters were doing what the singer was saying, and that they were drawn in a very funny, childish manner...but why did they continue dancing in the "forever, and ever..." part?
You should continue it...

There's a leetle synching problem and the tweening could do with being tweaked up a smidgeon, however, other than that I thought it was pretty good. I liked the graphics and it fit in well with the song, so well done. :)
Animation - The style of animation was done pretty well. Everything seemed to run smoothly. Most drawings were done well and the color was fine.
Story - I like how well the animation ran together with the lyrics to the song. Good job on that. It's also really nice to make an animation for somebody on their birthday like this. Apparently this is one of her favorite songs, or something that you guys share close personally. The fade out at the end was a nice touch.
Audio - The audio was great and ran great with the animation like mentioned before.
Overall, not too bad. Keep up the good work. And happy belated birthday to Nina. whoever that is.

Awww, this is a great birthday flash, i enjoyed watching it alot, made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I bet she loved it! You conveyed the song really well into flash, great job and it looks great for 7 hours of work!!. :D
The graphics were awesome, i loved the sort of chibi style to the characters, made them look really cool and cut. The colours were great, a colourful flash is a good flash in my books, and this was really bright and colourful. The backrounds were really good and cool too. I liked the whole blurry thing you did with certain parts of it, made it look even better.
The animation was really smooth, simple characters and a simple falsh so the animation was pretty easy to do im guessing, but it looked great and i didnt have any problems with it. The sound was great too, the song was great quality, not to mention being a good song in its own right. Nice work.
Overall it was awesome, might even recommend it for the music video collection as it technically is one. :P
Its a great flash and you should be proud. Nice work man.

A very nice birthday flash, and very impressive for just 7 hours work.
Very nice style you have there. Kinda anime but you use blurring effects very well. It made the flash look amazing. And really liked how it was perfectly synched with the song. Especially when they danced to the music, was very very good.
Great choice of song, really worked, and it got across the message you wanted, it was very sweet.
Overall, a great flash, and I hope she liked it. Good job.

Great flash. I can't believe you put this all together in only 7 hours!
I really like the graphics in this one, they fit perfectly together with your animations and with the things you presented to visualize the song.
I also liked the menu, this is a very nice addition.
Well, I hope this birthday flash was very well received. ;)

Very kool flash from only 7 hours of work. The main menu with scene selections was a plus. The animation was very good, and it flowed very well witht he music. The music itself was very clear and easy to listen to. Overall a very great birthday present. Great job!
Suggestions: Sometimes the animations would get repetitive. Maybe you could have them switch to different actions once in a while?

haha, a very cute flash indeed, what a nice birthday present. :) I loved the art style, it and the animation had such a fun, cartoony feel, I really liked that.
The song was a good one, it really fit the theme of the flash. Is this Nina your girlfriend? The feelings this gave me personally were very bittersweet, but that's just the result of things that have happened to me in my life.
As far as criticisms go, the only thing I can say is that it got a bit repetitive after a while. I think it would have been a bit more interesting if the characters were doing lots of different things, opposed to changing what they're doing along with the transitions of the song. This seemed to space things out too far.
Good job on this overall, though. No doubt she appreciated it very much. :) Good work!

Well it's not bad, though I think you over used the blur with motion tween for many parts and the intro took a while, also I see that much of the animation is repeated and can go on for a while where you could have possibly put a little more animation in, it would have been good to have just that bit more. Give something new to watch you know.
The drawing is pretty decent, which is good and somewhat fitting with the music in parts, just the repetivness of the animation is pretty offputting. So overally, it has good points with audio and the drawing, but some of it does fit well and not too keen on the reusing of animations.
3/5

Though I think you copped out on a few parts, which I'll elaborate on in a little bit. First, I think that you've had some great fun with the focus tool, which really messed with my headache, but I won't hold it against you.
For the repeated animations, I'd certainly concentrate on making 3 separate loops for the three chorus lines. Don't have the characters just stand there and punch the sky - they can move their legs, so have them dance around the floor, or at least have some characters in the background do something - otherwise the whole thing gets a little boring.
I think that you've got some good talents so this only acts as a stepping stone to the better animations that you're going to do in the future. With the (Yaoi) style that you've drawn, it needs a little tidying up, so zoom in and spend a little longer making them look more professional, as this little effort will pay dividends in the future, I assure you.

A nice idea to do an animation for Nina the title person ,you put alot of effort into this i can see.
Graphics.7/10 The look of the whole thing is pretty good, lots of nice colors. The charactors look fun, and the intro is cool with a green menu. Sometimes the black outlines were off putting, and the style of the drawing. Did not looks great at times ,but this on thw whole is good looking.
Sound.5/10 I could not make up my mind ,about the soundtrack. On the whole its not bad ,but it get very annoying after a while. Its loud and overpowers the track ,as a whole. I dont mind Blink 182 just not sure this ,was a good chioce to use for this flash.
The problem with this flash is that is just does not capture, my atttentions the whole scenes seem unappealing. The music is overpowering the entire time, making me want an option to turn it off. The scenes are not very exciting either, not much happens to be honest despite the effort. I found this to lacking any real appeal. the track is the major problem.
On the plus side the bits which used the dialogue ,and the scenes which showed it was clever and cool. It was a sweet piece to. It did look good to and ,i saw the hard work to it. The scenes selection is always a good idea
The movie did not capture me it went by, i think the story or ,lack of it did not help either.
Ovreall a dull tribute.
