Ninja!
It was nicely done, love the animation and you portrayd all the movements well. The 9 is not for the movie, but all the replies I see for other reviews, I have not seen that from any author yet and it warms my heart.

Hey gang, this is my first submission to Newgrounds. This is a short about a minute and ten seconds. It's a little fast paced and hard to keep up with at time but hopefully that'll encourage some of you to continue to watch the little things that flash by. I'm really open to learning new things so I'd love to get some feed back. Thanks for viewing and keep arting!
::EDIT:: Someone brought to my attention that the replay button at the end wasn't working right so I just fixed it.::EDIT::

Thanks, I'm used to the Deviant Art community so It feels like common courtesy to thank people who have taken time to leave a review. Plus, I'm not one of those big artists that get so many reviews that it would be difficult to thank everyone. Thanks for viewing.
Lol
Shit is funny, ninjas are cool, put them together and you got awesomeness!
ALLanimation responds:
Thanks for the kind words.
Cool!
Very well drawn, but a movie without sounds isn´t really atmospheric!
Put in some sounds and soundeffects!
ALLanimation responds:
Thanks for sharing your opinion. I wasn't aware until after I put it up how necessary sound was. I'm no sound designer but If you or someone you know would be interested in doing some sounds pass the word on.
Thanks.
Good but for a few problems
The animation was very good and the humor was much appreciated. However, I have had a few problems with the movie:
1. There was no sound. Was this indeed the case or was it a problem of my machine? If it was intentional, you should seriously consider putting some sound on the movie.
2. The replay button leads to the middle of the movie instead of the start. Not a big flaw in my opinion, but it shouldn't take more than a few seconds to fix it, so you could do it.
3. Rather than a flaw, this would be a stylistic thing, but a few scenes seemed a little too fast-paced. Even though I liked the fact that the movie was quick and thus did not bore, some scenes could have been a little less rushed.
I rated this with a 7 despite the problems. However, I would really hope to see this re-submitted with sound. Keep up the good work, I enjoyed your style very much ;)
ALLanimation responds:
1. It seems the entire Newgrounds community would agree with you. I didn't want to slap on crappy sounds (pun intended?) and I don't have much experience in sounds design.
2.I'll need to fix that. I'll update that seeing as how its a non sound related problem.
3.I was afraid it would be too fast but it beats the alternative and I felt slowing down the animation looked too slow. I very well could add more pauses but that's something I'll keep in mind for future animations.
4. Thanks for taking the time for a good critique. Its always refreshing to see someone who isn't just praising or bashing without any explanation.
I hope I can find someone who likes to do do sound because sound is something I'd like to think about.
Can be better
It was a nice flash, especially for your first.
Don't be afraid to ad more frames to slow down some scenes or add more detail. Or use loops to add more detail like when the green Ninja was sleeping.
The lack of audio was a little disappointing but not that bad. You should however color your backgrounds in the future.
Good stuff, keep it up!

Those are all great pointers. Thanks for taking the time to viewing.
