Nice!
Anything that I could have possibly said, Agak did. Very slick, especially for a first submission. Looking foreward to more!
Reviews for "Pico ch1: the Gloom"
Wow, a start to a future epic o_O
~The good~
Animation was just plain amazing! I loved the introduction the most, it had great narration and the backgrounds and hand-drawn pictures were just plain awesome. Your animation of other characters like zombie, madness, Bitey, and Pico were very well done as well, and were great imitations of the original. The voice acting was done very nicely as well, I just wish you can find people to do voices for all the character cameos like Xombie, maybe even a Bitey voice o_O
~The bad~
The plot itself seems a lot like War for the portal, where all the characters fight against eachother. Sometimes, the voices were a lot quieter than the sounds, like when the gang is in the meeting table, and the door opens to reveal Pico, that was way too loud. Also, it ended at a very non-oppurtune time, I would've liked to see more =P
Overall, a crazy Pico flash that didn't get the recognition it actually diserves, keep up the good work and I will continue to anticipate the next in this soon-to-be epic series. I hope my review was helpful!
5/5

Thanks so much for your comments! Of course they are always very much appreciated. I will definately be improving this first chapter taking into consideration all the points people (and myself) noticed need improvement. Sound especially will be paid closer attention to when I update this as I just didn't have time nor the equipment to get it done right :(.
And you're right! I didn't even think of war for the portal when I made this, it is similar to War for the portal in that it includes all the main characters. However, I believe the story itself is quite a bit different once again. They're all fighting and for the king of the portal title in that one, this one is more about a good vs. evil and pico is the main character, etc. So hopefully it'll stand on it's own and not be too compared to other flashes with similar premises.
Thanks again for your more than generous scores and constructive comments!! Be on the look out for a ch2 preview :D.
This was your first flash?
Dude, for your first, this was unbelievably awsome. Litterally.
Anyway, despite the semi cheesy torso-tweening at the end, and the beginning being so very quiet, this was definatly a kickin' movie. The art in the beginning was amazing. Personally, I think you should not only continue the series, but every few shorts should be put together into a longer movie for those, like me, who would take the time to download a 30 meg flash if it's worth the wait. If this level of quality continues, it definatly would be. I'm not saying it'd be good to put such huge files in the portal, but perhaps on some site you could point to whenever a new conglomerated short was ready, you know? Anyways, great movie, and I'm looking forward to the next chapter, hopefully before next year's Pico Day.
N.2 NOW!
that rocks you should make numba 2 right now
I really gotta pay better attention on Pico Day
That was great and I'm excited for the submission of Chapter 2. Full marks in the sound and graphics department. I only wish that I could have voted for it while it was still in the Flash Portal, I would have given it a five like I did before I started typing up this review. I concur, the Portal IS getting full of garbage submissions, that for some unworldly reason, make it through the Under Judgement portion of the submitting process (like some of the crap that end in some clock-faced-wonder getting raped, when did rape become funny?). Anyway, excellent work.
I close in saying "HUZZAH!"
