wow
the story was really amazing, as a big fan of both cats and experimental flash movies and music I was gasping through the entire ride! Fived and going into my favourites!
Reviews for "Worlds End Umbrella"
Vocaloid huh...
Watchers would only be busy skimming through the subtitles... Like the earlier reviews said. From my perspective, I think you should have introduced what a Vocaloid is cuz this is newgrounds. People might say it's just some song from a geeky anime. Also, depicting the exact lyrics to the animation won't do any good. If you are well informed about Jap-culture and such. might as well consider the viewers. Not everyone is a fan of Japanese culture.
Really good =D enjoyed it ^^
I like the story in this flash-story, it really gives the same kind of feelings as the original. A really nice piece of flash =)
...but in the other hand the animation wasn't good, and personally I find it a pretty big deal... I think it could work better if the story would be constructed of fade in-fade out -pictures of what's happening, but this is by no means not bad as it is =j. I believe if you brush up your art- and animation- skills you could become a NG seleb ^^ keep up the good work!

Awesome
I found it really nice as a flash, the song was nice as well but the movie doesn't seem like a flash just a story however it is great (:
I saw Lincoln walking around in pain
All of it is pretty cute (in fact, not even that) but terribly flawed.
Shortly resumed, the animation is almost absent, there's not really anything going on, and I would have called your age as an excuse, but on your profile you say you're 17 while you're said to be 13 in the description. People lying on their age aren't doing a smart move.
Now, the big problems. The storyline, as it's told by the song, is already a mish-mash of sickly sweet sentiments arranged on sickly dull jap-pop. That first, is a flaw. Choosing a mediocre song to make a video upon.
The other issue about the storyline is how you reenact it. With...cats.
First of all, those cats look like bears. Seriously. And if those were said to be bears, I'd have said they looked like cats. See the problem ? So,yeah, why cats ? I do know cats are believed to be cute and please most of Newgrounds community since it's composed by preteenagers. But heck, it's lame, there is no reason for them to be cats since they are anthropomorphic. You could have taken a couple of shit pickles and that'd have done the trick. And to fill the plot holes of the song you typed text. Understand me, you TYPED text. This is always very ugly in a flash animation. And you put dots at the end of sentences, which, while grammatically correct, is twice uglier when it comes to esthetic. You should have written the texts.
And eventually, there is nothing enthralling about this. From the first screen showing that cat running to the ending where you see the cats sleeping. And why ? Because it's so cliché. Unoriginality can bring you popularity, but never critical acclaim.
