Reviews for "One Day of Meursault"
Great job there! I loved the style and the atmosphere, butI don't think I understood the story. Could you explain it a little bit? Thanks!

Thanks for your compliment! It means a lot to me that you feel like the style. Actually it's not a story-based animation. More of a feelings-mixed one. I would say, don't try to look for some stories or sad/happy endings watching this, maybe try to feel it. Just like reading books. I always believe what makes a book/movie a popular one is that people can find themselves in it, and maybe to get something out of it. But as for this animation, it's quite pessimistic in some way, since you didn't quite get it, it means you must be an optimistic person, of which I'm really jealous!! cheers!
Beautiful style.
I can't say I understand most of what you are trying to say in this tribute to The Stranger, but having read the book I know that you did a great job in a few certain areas (or at least the ones I caught). To be short, I'll say that most noticeably, you did a great job portraying absurdist/existential elements in the black and white setting as well as through the monotonous tone of Meursault's story. A lot of his actions were hard to understand and seemed random, but depicting an abstract philosophical novel can be extremely difficult so in that regard I think you've done well. Anyways, it's always nice seeing more deep and meaningful things on Newgrounds so thanks for this (I'm sure Camus would have enjoyed watching/interpreting it).

Thank you for giving out your opinion. It's great to know that this is still understandable XD means a lot to me!
Great art animation. Love it!
