Reviews for "DBZ- Goku Turns Evil Ep1"
Lovin Goku's new threads
Not bad. Bit shitty about the whole "I don't have the power to turn him permanently evil, therefore he will only be evil for a maximum of 36 hours" bit. Shenron would have the power to make Goku permanently evil and the Z Fighters should have had to travel to Namek to get Porunga to return Goku to normal. That is just my opinion but your idea was still cool. Keep it up

Z-Fighters can't get to Namek by themselves, they would have to board a ship or something. And do you really think an "evil" goku would just let them do it? Let alone why would they leave an evil goku on Earth by himself, thats asking him to destroy Earth.
As for Shenron's power, he has limits, and you really don't know if he'd be able to turn Goku evil as it's never happened. He can't even revive someone more than once so how can he permanently change someone's personality and outlook?
Like I've been saying, I wouldn't know how to go along with him being permanently evil, so I went with this. Thx for the review though.
ok, i guess
It's not bad, but the voice-overs were horible.. piccalo sounded like goku in russian & goku sounded like an angry chipmonk lol. Are you sure you've even watched DBZ beforfe? i mean really.. spend some more time on the voices
needs some work.
This wasn't bad, but the beginning was very slow and uneventful. For a non-DBZer, or someone who doesn't normally watch sprite movies, this could make them close out immediately. Add something to look at during the dialogue. Voices aren't completely necessary, while it definitely helps, but the dialogue itself needs work. The lines were very half-done and out of character. Team up with a friend to write a script, and improve the text backgrounds and font color. It was very difficult to see sometimes especially around Shenron. If I sat back in my chair, I couldn't see too well.
The fighting was alright, but it wasn't anything special. Sprites limit you so you have to make use of camera angles, which you did some, but not enough. You know about SMBZ, so watch those fights. While there are few moves, he creates situations that are impossible to encounter with in-game sprites. The perfect example is Yoshi vs Mecha Sonic. That was amazing. I usually am not completely captured by sprite movies, but his fights are wicked. Take note.
The story itself was very uninteresting. Just Goku becoming Evil sounds like a very boring and flat plot. This doesn't need to be Ep 1, it could have just been "Goku vs Piccolo," because it offers little more than that. Also, the 36 time makes it seem like in a day and a half, they can pretend none of this even happened. I'd work on story, dialogue, plot devices, and improve on the fight scenes. Voice Acting is recommended, but that's up to you.
Good luck.

I'm a Strategist, which means that I rarely ever try to ask anyone else for help to do anything as I prefer to find the answer myself. I'm not saying that I can't ask a friend to help, just saying that 8 times out of 10 I won't regardless of the outcome of circumstances (unless its dire).
The story it self is not great but I'm not good at them, so I think this is pretty decent for me. Others have said that they like the story and they it's interesting, but everyone has different opinions and I've learned I can't please everyone.
Dialogue could be improved, I won't lie. I will go watch more episodes of the actual series to try and cope with that more. 36 hours is a long time to do destructive things while evil, especially for a DBZ person...let alone in DBZ a day could take like 20 episodes because that is how they did it, but it isn't realistic but somewhat understandable.
The plot device basically ties in with the story explanation. I'm not really good at complex plots, or even making up really good ones. This is basically off the wall and I thought it would be interesting if Goku, instead of saving the day, was actually a cause for ruining the day. I didn't know any other way of going with this so I chose this way.
As for the fight scene, I entirely know that it needs work which is what I intend to do to it, so nothing else I can say about it.
Thx for the most constructive review received all day. I agree with you on most of the things you said, but based off the way I am and how I'm doing it some stuff probably won't be changed.
Good not great.
I think this was a good idea too. I have a script for this very topic. Good music and concept. You need some better sprites tho. Download MUGEN and FIGHTER FACTORY then go nuts. the fighting is on par with the show but with the right resources you can do way better. I'd love to see that. I'm still going to watch your part 2 though.
OLD293 responds:
I know, I even tried to switch sprites for the last episode but my fans didn't like the sprite change. They said that it was better with these sprites I started with so in order to keep my fan base happy I stuck with these...oh well.
