Reviews for "The Love I'm Searching 4"
Thanks
i consider this one of the most original pirces of flash on NG. 5/5 10/10 and faved.
you could make the characters more easy to recongnize from one to another.
Skaijo responds:
I'll certainly do that next time. It's the most common issue brought up and a valid point to improve on.
I'm in love!
I fell in love with the song<3
Great story too, keep it up!!!

... a step up for you, Skaijo, and a great flash movie! You've matured and improved your animation significantly from your previous animations and if you keep this up, who knows, you might soon be rivaling Adam Phillips. ^_^ . Allow me to detail my review:
- Graphics really were that good. You may recall how I once commented (well, more like created a thesis!) on how you would eventually need to adopt a more 'FPF' styled animation to go further. Well, in this movie you've taken a massive stop in that direction by increasing the number of 'intermediary' poses when you use tweens (the final dance comes to mind, for example), which means that this is by far, your smoothest movie ever! It looks really, really nice. Kudos for that!
And, of course, apart from that, your drawings are also quite rich, specially the backgrounds which are always highly detailed, even if you did use a lot of photos this time (thankfully, they fit with the overall style really well). Also, loved the use of black and white scenes! They really added a nice touch to the movie and created a nice contrast.
- Musically, well, honestly I wasn't a big fan. Not bad, by any measure, but definitely not my cup of tea either and the main reason why I didn't give you a straight ten (which is kind of mean, on my part). And did you use a few, sparse sound effects (such as a girl exclaiming), or were they a part of the movie? Also, I must say that, unlike previous movies, there didn't seem to be there enough coordination with the on-screen action and the song itself...
- Character design, as always, was pretty good, with a lot of diversity in all characteristics and a coherent design. Pretty good, in other words! Actually scratch that, your character design really shines here, sometimes I think you rival with Vinnie (from the CCC series) in this aspect!
Storywise, not the most original of stories, BUT, with your creativity shined through, as usual, with some very interesting scenes and set pieces, making things fell very fresh and interesting. I think it helped that no camera angle for a single scene lasts too long, which is a tough thing to do, requiring lots of extra work, but which payed off well. Also, the length of the movie was pretty much spot on.
So, overall, a great step up for you, with greatly improved animation (and I must give emphasis to how important and great that is!), showcasing your creativity and talent very well. My only real criticisms lie with the choice of music (a purely subjective thing) and perhaps a better use of it. I.e., great movie!
Cheer and kudos! Can't wait to see what you'll come up with next. ;]
Skaijo responds:
You didn't like the song? :/ Shame. :3 It's a goody. Your taste in music may have also increased the sense of disconnect between the tune and the on-screen action. How's that for a thesis, my friend?
>:3
I appreciate the review, I'll be working on distinguished characters. Vinnie was one of my NG Generation 1 fav authors that inspired me to start animating in the first place. Any day I can be compared with him is a good one. If you're considering this a step up from the Layton animations, you make me laugh.
Thanks for the indepth reviews on no matter what I submit, Vert. :3 I look forward to them the most.
Amazing job!
I was a little confused but i started to get that she wanted to be a conductor, and then with the jumping rooms that her friends wanted to be dancer and so on , and thier day to day was awesome and fun to watch, seeing them salute the flag they had just tied other students to was funny as hell, your doing great and the animation is awesome, the only thing I would like to say is with them all having white hair it got a lil confusing who was who and stuff as a stranger to the chars i got a little lost until near ending, keep it up ^^ ps i love anime so i like how this kinda resembles it
Skaijo responds:
I'll work on distinguishable characters in the future. It'll be the most valid and enjoyable thing to work on in the future. I appreciate the love!
