Reviews for "The Adventures of Loto"

Thanks MOM.
:'( sad
i hav dqm and i no cry lik dis do
It's about time somebody did something...
...related to Dragon Quest/Dragon Warrior. Part 5 for the Super NES is a personal favorite, although it could have used better sound effects. With that out of the way, on with the review.
In terms of visuals, I liked how you mixed sprites and hand-drawn animation. Sprite haters may scoff at the use of imported graphics, but they were put to good use. The drawn parts may not be the best, but you had some good frame by frame during that battle with the slime. As for the sound, nice use of the old NES sound, although some might be put off by that. Not to mention, I found this worthy of a chuckle or two; a little throwback to those flash cartoons made back in 2000-2001.
What I liked about this:
-Chuckleworthy
-The fact that you did a game that hasn't been spoofed except for one time by Teflan Dan. I like it when people do games that haven't been done before.
-Nice mix between sprites and hand-drawn animation.
-Nice use of NES sound effects
What I didn't like:
-The fact that this is a game parody, which whiny shitheads like Zekey Spacey Lizard will bash this all to hell. Note: I don't have a beef with Video Game flash as long as they are good.
Overall: Here's an eight out of ten, and I'd like to see what else are you capable of.

Thank you for the very helpful review! I think I would have reviewed it in the same way if I were not the one to have made the subject matter :P
In response to a very crucial part of your review, I'm totally in agreement about what seems to be your opinion on videogame Flashes. They really do seem to be horrendously overdone to the point of where I refuse to watch any animation with a Mario sprite in it, but I'm thankful for the fact that I was able to conceive of something that was original in its balance; a Flash featuring sprites can be okay - it just can't be the ONLY art in a piece if anyone is to respect it, especially with how many videogame Flashes flood the portal currently.
That opinion aside, thank you so much for taking the time to give me a thorough, thoughtful review. I look forward to seeing anything you produce and/or to accepting your criticisms in my future animations!
Loto, you bastard!
He should feel bad.
I liked the whole deal with using primarily game-sounds for all the sound effects. Never played Dragon Quest, but I've seen those blob things before.
I think this is the ONLY Dragon quest parody here!
For one thing, this movie gives a good feel on the idea that, slimes are so cute, why would you ever want to kill them? The only reason is that, yeah they're cute, but they won't hesitate to kill you (5 dollars for whoever can guess where I got that from). I don't think that you actually play as Loto/Erdrick in Dragon Quest 3, you play as one of his descendants, and DQ3 was first released on the NES, just to say. The animation is nice, it starts off sprited, then cuts into a simple animated battle, I can totally see this as a battle in a dragon quest spinoff title of some kind. My biggest gripe was that the music quality and sound quality weren't all that good, but it's not terrible. Now all we need is a Dragon Quest 4 parody giving some alternate reason why Psaro the Manslayer went insane and became a recolor of Estark!
