Heh
Nothing wrong with a little informativit now and then, heh, would have been nice if you made it for Japanese History, that's what I shoudld be studying for instead of writing this, hehe. Anyhow, nice flash. The graphics are good, the info is nicely presented, everything is easy to understand. Keep it up!

7/10
it was a great story but a litle bit boring.... :/
nice
that was pretty good man almost like it should be on the history channel. I bet you got an A for your class. Nice work.
Looks nice, but needs a little tweaking...
This isn't a bad peice, and it certainly looks nice. It also has an educational aspect that is missing from a lot of Newgrounds pieces.
The sound and timing, though, despite being of high audio quality, mar what could be a phenomenal Flash. The whole thing is timed like a history lesson, which means it goes slow. That would be great if the sound were a little more dynamic. Instead, we get background music that does not loop properly, and sound effects that are far too sparce in frequency. This, when combined with the torpid pace, makes this movie an exercise of looking at the pictures rather than learning about the subject.
Another issue is that this piece doesn't give much background information but goes directly into the presentation. As a result, anyone who is completely unfamiliar with this historical event is completely lost from the beginning. Combine this with the problems as listed above and you get a piece that looks polished and has an aim, but despite its precision is never to achieve true accuracy.
If I were a teacher, I'd give you an A, since it's clear you worked on this and the audience would be more familiar with the matter. But for Newgrounds, it has to do more than inform; it has to engage.
Good stuff.
Although when you are making a flash for the ng portal, which you weren't doing, but when you submit something to the ng portal you have to understand the audience you are going to and this submission does not work with the audience, and that's why you had the low score. The graphics were there, but it was so dull. Meh.
