Animation is pretty well matching the cartoons. very nice, have to rate it down some since you start such an interesting looking story and drop it at such a teasing point. while i understand where you are coming from with the not having time and posting what you had i do think it would have been an even better video if you had ended it alittle before going into the battle and would have given major credit if you pulled the Narrator voice out for the closing. Something like the traditional cartoon closer to leaving you questioning what the next episode could hold. "who is N and while our heroes make it out of the storm?" That my point of view on it. Hope it will help in getting you to finish telling the story cause now that i have the narrator voice in my head i want to know how it plays out.
Reviews for "A test of N-Durance"
Curious you might mention him, the narrator's VA has been missing for over 6 months now XD even if I wanted to end it the way you suggested, I wouldn't have been able to, I would've had to search for another voice and believe me...it takes quite a while to find the type of voice you need. I had to release it ASAP since I'm back to university pretty soon.
Dude... it took you 2 years to make this? This 1 minute limited animation parody? You must have came around to this every 3 weeks to work on a couple seconds of it if that was the case.
I digress... the designs for the characters looked pretty authentic and even weren't animated too bad, but just everything else... the voice acting, the backgrounds clearly stolen from the internet, the plot or focus, if there was any... didn't capitalize and were pretty bad.
Hopefully next time around you make something pretty good, and seeing the skill you have to animate, while it's certainly not perfect, you could make a pretty decent film. Better luck next time.
At first I thought this was going to be another chessey parody that wasn't any good and was poorly animated, but I have to say, it was very well done. To someone not really paying attention, the art could almost pass as an official episode, which is rare to find, especially on Newgrounds. The voice acting, in my opinion, was actually on par with the anime, maybe even a little better. Very well executed, and I really do hope you manage to find time to finish this.
Yeah, it all depends on how busy I'll be this year, and if the voice actors will all still be around willing to help. Otherwise, thanks for your 2 cents.
Fantastic animation. Looks very professional. I wish it were funnier though. That's probably because it isn't finished. It bothered me a little the characters cast no shadows on the environment. Good overall. Too bad you couldn't finish it.
I like how you tried to make it look like the anime,the voices were good, I think you should draw a neat background because it looks like a picture. Overall its pretty amazing for an unfinished project.
