Reviews for "Echo Force Zero: Vol1"

The children will enjoy this.

It seemed like an anime that had the usual suspects and seemed to have the generic plot that is reworked all over the East. I was laughing at this fact to take any of what the characters really said seriously. Also on the negative side an improvement to the art - Practice drawing moving limbs and hands. I noticed the strain in quality.

The laughable cliches aside. The art in this video is done very nicely especially everything besides the characters. Also most of it was pretty smooth except the prementioned limbs. All the sounds were clear and had no trouble listening to this on a lower decible.

Lastly the writing seemed predictable which is okay for now until it opens up. Though I felt like you tried to introduce far to much in one episode instead of showing us the mains and building the relationship.

one question..

Why'd you spell valentine with an "n"? [the planet's name]

LewToons responds:

the planet name is Valiton

Hmm, good, but...

Do not make the caracters talk about what we can see, so boring to hear a totally hollow speech...Udge fail at the beginin, making the information scene, cool looking but so useless, anyway there's way to put the background story while showing the characters in action. [even in anime they do it]

And archetype japanese characters are not all just hollow stereotypes. I found your work interesting, with quite potential. I think, If you got more than evil and good characters, it could be far more sucess, and you already got one, the blue knight girl, who's on the good side but kill without pity.

I will keep an eye on your work, keep going.

Z atchi?

You mind want to look out for other animes with names like that.
Take a glance at Zatch Bell if you ever wanna make money on this idea.
Also, the two boys' trainer looks kind of like Snow from Final Fantasy XIII.
Other than that, this is a good idea. Bad guys are really well designed, adult characters are collected and everything. A good, generic start for an anime-like cartoon.

LewToons responds:

well obviously i can watch every anime and play every video to make sure of those things haha - - i just make what think looks cool and i make what i think sounds cool for names. YUP

Please don't call me a hater!

I just think that this, although obviously the product off lots of hard work, is really lame, for a number of reasons.

Firstly, ALL of the characters are cliches. And not in the good way, like Girlchan in Paradise. Every time I was introduced to a new one, I either cringed or laughed. They're just very shallow and unrealistic.

Secondly although the main storyline is very cool and full of potential, the way you used it was unoriginal. I felt as if I'd heard all the lines before, and bits that should have been funny (meeting Zatchi) or cool (Tangle and the tyrant visit the villagers) just weren't because of boring lines. Lots of bits didn't make any sense, like the fight in Direstorm mentioned earlier, and the way he personally visited those villagers to kill them for no good reason. Why didn't he just take them as slaves? They were perfectly willing to help him. The voice acting wasn't bad, but I don't feel that the characters were represented realistically. The storyline of it was so childish.

Finally, if you're going to do an anime, do an anime. I'm not talking about the art style so much (although that could have been improved, they looked like western style drawings with manga style bits shoved in) It was more the way it copied every anime technique, but just didn't get it right. There was none of the flow you get in anime, and the scenes alternating between the three planets were unexpected, it felt as if they were there simply so you could use that technique.

This is one of those things I see on Newgrounds that has so obviously had so much love and effort put into it, but just didn't get it right. And that makes me sad because I can see the potential in it.

LewToons responds:

well, bummer that it wasnt your thing - - guess i wont be seein' ya on the next one!

thanks for checkin it out though
