No. Just no.
David sounds retarded, his five o'clock shadow looks unreal and stupid, but the action scenes aren't half bad.
Reviews for "The Legend of David 5"
good
you're getting better in time your animacion is progressing, no ofence, but your art kinda looks bad, make it better and you will have some good animation
Pretty interestingly good ^___^
Liked the action and i think davidsalvador was alittle harsh about the art. I didn't find to much fault with it.
Although i did find the lines a little cheesy though. and some scenes seem to be there for no real story furthering point. i think if you would try to better the lines and add more scenes that have to do with the story that it'd be immensely better.

hey thanks for the interest.
the lines are suppose to be cheesy, because honestly i like cheesy lines thats just my style, and though the story does not always progress you get to see more of the world around it, it's more exploration of that world. it just happens that i like long stories with lots of adventure and classic cheesy lines. i won't change. :) but thanks anyway.
Run of the mill
Which isn't to say 'bad'. I just wsan't particularly impressed. I've seen the same basic thing done before and done better. But in the end, its better then some of the garbage that gets put on Newgrounds, Youtube, and the like, and I like the idea of the Master Sword not working quite right right away because David wasn't Link.
Where does this seem familiar.
Where to start..
Overall, your idea with this whole project seems lost, wayward, and often as if it does not know what it wants to be. It collects ideas, scenes, and bits and pieces of similarities and mashes them together lazily. For example, your anatomy with your characters seems almost traced off of the bodies from Dragon ball Z. I would almost have forgiven this, if you put as much detail on the things you DIDNT copy from, such as faces, monsters, ect... The music, sound effects, and so forth didnt help considering they were also practically cut and pasted from movies and soundtracks. Again, this normally doesn't bother me, but the fact that everywhere you seem to look here is plagued by unoriginality really made it hard for me to enjoy this.
Though through the entire flash i couldn't take it seriously. I at first found it very difficult to decide whether this was to be taken seriously or not. I kept expecting some funny joke to lighten the dull "Tension" but it never really came. The voice acting completely ruined what atmosphere you had created through unneeded violence and dialogue. The very obvious echo effects, pitch changes that were used as an excuse for audio effects would have been cool, had this been ten years ago when they were new. Now, with what we have, its clumsy, embarrassing, and almost pointless. The writing seemed.. Non existent.
I could go on but im sure that someone somewhere will disagree and claim this to be an abusive review for whatever reason. I know you put effort into this, and im not trying to bash you down but its honestly how i feel. You spent time and put your own style of animation even if it incorporated familiar themes.
I'll basically give you a 3/10.
- Good animation, but its clear you did some tricks to cut corners to save yourself time.
- Sound quality was lacking and voice acting honestly hurt my ears at times.
- Story was uneventful, forgettable, and overall cliche. The fact that all that really happened in the entire episode was that he got up, killed some stuff, and encountered Gannon really makes me afraid to imagine how long you plan to draw this out.
In the end, i really dont feel this deserves to be put on front page above work that could easily surpass this. Peace.
