Reviews for Jim and Pals Shorts: Ep 6

[Little-Rena]

Hehe

That was pretty ammusing, the style of the drawing here doesn't seem to change much, pretty low detail charators but that's okay, it does work in a way, though kind of odd how they don't have arms. Anyway, the flash itself is pretty good and everything, decent animation for most part, even if a little simple in looks, lol. The sound effects are good and the voice acting is also good too.

I did like the plot here, it's kind of simple yet unexpected, the whole thing does seem to work though and well I must say. At first it just seemed like something silly, then you have an explosion, lol. So yeah, overall, there is nothing wrong with this and on top of that, I do like this episode more so than previous ones, good work.

5/5

Lol, arms are overrated! If you've got a pair of circles that float near you, who needs arms? Glad you liked this episode the most, shows I'm improving.

Excellent

Very nice short, and you definitely don't see the ending coming at all.

Great animation, even though you've used the same type style, it just seems to look better, but very nice. Very unique, simple but very well done.

The sound was excellent, the quality of rabidsquirl's recording was amazing, it sounded ever professional and dante224's was half bad either. The story was also great, and very much driven by voice acting. Great job.

Overall it was a very good short, hilarious with excellent delivery, one of the best I've seen on NG, and well deserving of daily and weekly award.

Thanks, hopefully my next one does even better.

Great delivery

This series really does have a lot of good things going for it. The addition of voices only makes it better than those before. Now you've got an extra medium to deliver the jokes with.

I love the way that the hand grenade has been drawn and I'd be surprised if people noticed that there was something wrong with the image until Jim pointed it out. That's the amazing thing with cartoons - the surrealism allows the gag not to be triggered until it is needed.

The way that you've laid out the background is coming along as well - there is slight improvement to the detail, but I'd suggest that the next step is to add an extra to the next short. Have them walk around or possibly playing something in the background. Something additional going on would just add to it nicely.

Jimtopia responds:

That's a really good idea, actually. I think (if the next one calls for it) I'll have the characters be participating in an activity. That could really help out the flash; thanks for the idea.

Very Funny!

The graphics, though simple, were very good. I really liked the character designs, it was simplistic yet pretty original. (The only author that came to mind was Legendary Frog, which isn't a bad thing.) :P
The animation was also great. Everything flowed smoothly and it was really enjoyable to watch.
I really liked the voice acting in this. The voices really seemed to fit the characters in this flash, which always makes it easier to get absorbed into a short flash like this and really get the most from it. The audio quality was good, too. Nothing was too raspy or loud with the voices or sound effects.
The humor here was outstanding, really the highlight of the flash. It really had me laughing out loud. What made it so great was the fact that I DIDN'T see the joke coming, I really had no idea how it was going to end, until it did. :P A good, original punchline is really important in a funny short, and this really delivered.
I also liked how it was violent, but not overly gory. I love that happy-go-lucky type of style, it's a nice change from the blood and gore you see a lot of on Newgrounds. :P
Overall, this was a textbook example of what a good funny short should be. -Good graphics/animation, good audio and a great joke.
You did great work with this, good job!

Thank you, I agree with you about how there's so much gore on NG. I always try to give my fans something a little different.

Funny and short. Very nice flash.

The characters look a bit odd, but at least you have your own style for the characters. Not overused stick figures or some sort of locks/clocks/whatever.

The voice acting is done great. The voices are easy to understand, even without subtitles.
The story was short and funny and the ending gave me a good laugh! :)

I found one flaw in your flash: The "Play" button was only clickable on the text, not on the spaces in between the letters. Maybe you can change that to a "real" button to make your flash even better. ;)

Thank you, and I'll be sure to fix the Play button for the next one!
