Actually, I haven't, lol.
Rina-chan again!
This was one of the strangest things I have ever seen on Newgrounds, at least in terms of a flash with a story! I guess I would understand it more if I saw all the previous parts. There were just so many things going on, it was hard to keep track! I had no idea who was supposed to be the good guy or the bad guy as everyone seemed corrupt or scared of someone else! However, this was great because the animation was absolutely flawless. Given its insanity, it's also great for a psychological study.
WOW! this was awesome
this was really really amazing, the saying never judge a book by its cover was meant for this! to be honest at first glimpse, I didnt expect much from this because the graphics sadly is very poor in my opinion but what it lacks in visuals it makes up for tremendously in plot. the voices feel as they fit properly too! acting here and there becomes a little dry though but over all great great work! I plan to re watch the first few episodes down. I thank you for your great contribution and look forward to watching more of your works ! its contributions like these is why I have spent the last 6 or so years on newgrounds or however long I been here thanks :3!!!
<3~
*falls more in love with JM* It's about time~ and it lived up to expectations, good work! Just don't have us waiting another year for the next episode. :p

If the guy with Reboot in his name thinks it's a success, I am a happy man XD
Here we go again!
Jon,
Thanks for submitting this on my birthday. You shouldn't have. It's weird too. I dislocated my right shoulder again two weeks a go. Are you spying on me from the States?
In all seriousness, You gotta stop using recycled material. Several sound effects and voice clips are reused from the last couple of episodes. Also we are in 12th episode and you are still making us read dialogue. Either voice act everything on don't do it at all.
I really miss the music videos that were included in each episodes. I especially loved episode 6 because of the musical pieces that helped tell the story. You are just playing through the dialogue now with low quality voice actors and some subtle background music. Everything really when downhill after episode 7 or 8. The scene with the Stokes cover was the pinnacle of this series.
Everything else is making me cringe.
You really should have grown enough by now to realize that you can never use this series as anything short of a personal project. It's been what - almost 5 years now? All that you've put out is a overly polished dark video game parodies. Your whole "The Apocalytes" is just another video game parody inspired directly from LBP.
Please please make something new and original. Something that comes from your brain alone, not something that can be only told to an audience who is familiar with classic NES games or LBP. And don't use licensed music anymore. It was fine back when we were teenagers, but we're in our mid-twenties now, man. It's time to expand and really make your mark. You can't do it music and ideas of others.
Also, in the future consider finding an animator to work out hard to pull off shots (not me, I fail at animating). Even some of the cool effects that you do aren't as appealing anymore due to the more and more detail added to the characters. To be painfully honest, you're a terrible animator, but you could be a great director and are already an awesome storyteller. Delegate, branch out, and expand.
Your friend watching from the other side of the world,
-Justin
