ya, half of them are me since I was sorta shortstaffed.
Awesome just one thing
if naruto was in jail couldent hejust rasengan through the bars?
DannyP responds:
Perhaps... Though we could assume there are some skilled jounin guarding this prison since they thought they put Kakashi there. If Naruto can transform into a female body, I wonder if he could transform into something really small and just slip through the bars?
As much as I hate English versions of Naruto!
This flash was SUGOI!!!! Amazing!! The animation is fluent, the voice actors knew how to pronounce the characters Japanese names right, and all in all this is splendid. It actually looked like an official Naruto episode. Like a missing episode or something! Keep up the good work, and next time, maybe do a BLEACH episode.
PS: I have always wondered why KUMO means both Spider and Cloud. Weird!
DannyP responds:
More like a filler episode, haha. Glad you enjoyed it so much. I considered a Bleach parody before (more of a mockery), but I don't think I'll be doing that.
As for spider/cloud both being "kumo", they're written with different kanji... And I dunno, maybe it's just sorta like how in English we've got stuff like they're/their/there - completely different words, but spelt differently and pronounced the same.
Definitely a sep up from the first
I remember watching the original a LONG time ago, and enjoying it quite a bit. I'm glad to see you continued it.
The story was pretty basic, but good. The same kind of blend of modern times and Naruto that made the first unique.
I see you've really improved your animation skills, the art style was also very good, as was the fluidity and pacing. Although there were a few jumps with some of the looped animations (Sakura walking towards Kakashi, Anbu ninja running), but everything came together quite well.
Some nice music choices, but I can't say the same for the voice acting. It's not really the voices themselves that need work, but rather, the enthusiasm. This is a pretty typical problem with voice acted movies, where a situation will call for some sort of emotion, but it still sounds like it was read off of a script. This isn't the case for every character, Kakashi and Tsunade were done quite well, but some of the other characters really missed the mark.
As far as the sound effects go, there were quite a few instances where they just didn't fit. Even so, they didn't annoy me either, so I'm pretty neutral on it.
Overall, it's a nicely animated movie utilizing well known characters in a unique situation, but the voice acting does hold this back from getting a better score.
I am glad to see you created a sequel for this, but admittedly I am a little disappointed that you haven't remade "Supernatural Fighters" yet.
DannyP responds:
Yeah, that animation with Sakura walking is a little choppy. That bit was actually made before I had a tablet, but I ended up just leaving that as is rather than redoing it. The ANBU guy running before making the hand seals was kinda lazily done, haha. I didn't think anyone would really notice, but you picked up those weak points quite well. I'll try to be less lazy about that sorta stuff in the future.
My excuse with Shikamaru, Iruka, and the ANBU voice acting is that my microphone wouldn't let me yell without it sounding all staticky (kinda messed up the ANBU's voice quality as is)... Or at least for the few situations that called for raised voices. Regarding anything else with their voices, I suppose I should practise voice acting more. This was the first time Shizune's voice actor ever tried voice acting (I know some of those voices weren't quite as I wanted them). Well, that's also my fault as the director (?) for being impatient and trying to get the project done fast. Thanks for the compliment on my Kakashi voice :P
Thanks for the detailed review, and I'm a bit surprised to hear about ol' Supernatural Fighters here and now. I had big plans for the second game, but I might just have to cut those plans much shorter if I ever wanna finish it. I was also considering actually drawing the characters instead of doing stick people. Well, it might get done someday, it might not... I haven't forgotten about my old projects and I think I would like to make a more proper fighting game someday, though :P
Pretty Awesome
The animation was really well done and the voice acting wasn't bad either. The plot was a little werid but at least it was funny. You even threw in a classic fat ninja joke.
DannyP responds:
werid
