wtf

Reviews for "the Last of the Dashkin"
I have a lot to say!
I have been keeping an eye on your excellent output for years, and in fact made a newgrounds profile solely for the purpose of reviewing this, your most recent video.
Let me start by saying that every time I watch one of your brackenwood videos, they just make me feel good. Their simple narrative style coupled with the stunning detail of your animation just can't be beat anywhere else on the internet. Period.
This is why I was so dismayed by this last one. To me the addition of the narrator feels like a complete cop-out to save you the time and trouble of producing another amazing piece, and it frankly makes the whole video feel like a cheap movie trailer (forgive me, remember, this is only the opinion of a fan who has high expectations for your work). The narrator was, in fact, just artlessly describing the character traits of Bitey that have already been beautifully revealed by your earlier work, all without verbal explanation.
Brackenwood is great to watch because all of the character development is physical. And all of the character interactions are also physical. This lends all of your stories a sort of magical childhood feeling, which is hard to come by on an internet overflowing with crude jokes and over explained plot devices. The grandiose LOTR feeling I am getting from this story just doesn't sit right.
I understand that this video was more complicated and you are introducing a whole lot of new stuff to the bitey world. And maybe you think you need a more complicated narrative structure in order to handle that complexity. But I think some of us would like to see it done in a way that is similar in style to your old videos (by, among other things, keeping the focus on the characters and their interactions). I think that, instead of losing the ability to tell a complicated story by keeping the form simple and visual, you would in fact enhance those great plot future plot ideas you have because you would be telling them in your own unique, brackenwood way.
Anyway, you're awesome. I'm giving this a low rating, because I think it deserves it, but then I am immediately going to give everything else you have ever submitted a 10/10, because they REALLY deserve it.
too lame
your other stuff had allot of personality, this is really droll and getting too similar to lord of the rings intro. this doesn't fit in with previous episodes either!
I can't watch it properly because some scenes are misplaced, like the whole flash moved down and to the right... :/
You get 2 stars because I don't like it when people don't finish a "to be continued" The animation was good though =)
