Reviews for "Koden X Prologue Part 1"

Nice anime!

Overall I liked this video, and I can tell those who made it take it seriously, so I will critique as such:

I liked the shots and the art direction here, however, starting the video by setting up the thief characters only to have them killed left me wondering about who's story this was. After watching through to the end it's clear that the guy that looks like Vash the Stampede from Trigun is the main character.

However at this point, the entire beginning of the video serves little purpose, and after seeing the end, I really don't know much about the characters or what's supposed to be happening.

So as far as story telling goes, It's a bit confusing, but the strong points (being animation and art direction) make it interesting and save it a little bit.

I'm a big Trigun fan, and although I'm a bit indignant about how closely the main character resembles Vash, I'm interested to see where you go with it.

Looking forward to the next episode! 5/5 8/10 (-2 for story line)

too much fan-service

I belive you meant to create something epic. In some dimensions, this movie kicks ass, but the thing most important, the story, the meaning went to fan-service dragonball shit.

Look, animation is fucking great, drawings were decent, sure you had to put much much effort in special effects, such as reflections, smokes, wind. I felt the atmosphere of awesomness. Also, you for sure must worked yourself big time on animating stuff. Later on, in girl and bed scene, it went to shit. Room design was shitty, and you see that rooms in every fucking anime. You could design some more claustrophobic interior, imitate more dusty atmosphere.

I'm not gonna stomp on your chara design, cuz everyone have their own. I didn't however, liked it. The girl eyes were too much anime for my taste. It made her face very flat and 2d. When drawing static panels such as girl looking, or talking without spinning her head, try to put some more effort, beacuse she looked crappy. Also I see some other artist influence in man designs, but whatever, at least they looked better than the bitch.

Sound went really good though, I apprecieate, that you've been through this big effort to have your wery own music credits, and that's great for sure. Sounds quality and variety was also very decent, so here you earned big plus.

Voice acting was quite good, but you guys and girls must work on intonation and make your voices more convincing. But it was g00d.

And everything leads to storyline.

Nice thing for you to have such great prelude. To develop few petty thieves characters, lead them into the essence of GAYNESS (only one girl in this very movie, plus very underdeveloped and repetetive character, dumb fanservice bitch), then *POOF* you fucking kill them all to make killer intro to your super-vegeta character.

And look, he wakes up! He's so fucking awesome that his hair stays always the same, even if he lied few days in bed, propably in agony.

If you must build some dumb-ass funny jokes and "hilarious" situations, do it with some style, otherwise don't do this at all. Just to help the watcher avoid akward, stupid and totally unrealistic pepole behaviors, who all just act like like sociopats, unable to build normal, dull and making sense conversation.

-"i didn't realize I had a bunch of girls on this trip."
Please man. It's actually sad, beacuse you desperately needed at least one girl ther. Beacuse it was a gay trip.

Generally it's very good, you need to continue your work. But please, next time, making an movie, consider what I have wrote here.

3/5 7/10

Good! But maybe could be better?

I honestly kinda wanted to give you 8 because of the not-so-good drawing and because you made an entire prologue showing the thieves for (maybe)nothing.

But you got me with your superior animation skills, greatest music, and cinematic reactions for the characters, you almost don't repeat the same frame! That would give you a 9 from me, but then you included SUBTITLES! So, congratz, it was great overall, I had fun

Wow

You know, ive been really dissapointed lately with the anime's that have been popping up on newgrounds, but this one from what ive seen so far is nothing to be disapointed about.

It kept my interest, the character design's were good. nobody looked too similar naww mean? the only thing is that the artist for this should practice drawring girls. her face basically looked the same as the guy's did but with bigger eyes. umm, nothing bad i can really point out about this except for that one part that was trying to be funny i guess.. But maybe that's just me because i hate when anime's go and try to be cute and make a funny.
10/10 keep up the good work
5/5 too

cool

i liked it alot but i cant really say much because there was alot of good and bad things in it some funny parts . when they found him it was kind of confusing cause did they die or something ? and when did she find him did i miss it>? but overall it looks like it will be very good and hopefully well..... im expecting it to be a bit faster then 6 years to make the next addition to be here so i can watch it.get it here fast because you are sure to have fans now just like how Fallen Angel did and it took them awhile to get there animation going but anyways keep it up!

Winzra responds:

I am officially going to like have to take off that thing where it says it took 6 years lol! It actually took at most 200 hours to make this production; the 6 years was pretty much the story. And it's not like we mean literally 6 years either. After all, you have to consider those lengthy periods of time were you don't talk to your friends you work with as much, school, work, etc. But our original idea for the story came 6 years ago. But yeah, expect to see the next ones sooner then your probably thinking...! :3
