I'm sorry I don't have the time to make a fleshed out review,but this is just perfect !
This kind of quality content is extremely exceptional for Newgrounds !
That's an unbelievably great animated short film with a Jojo feel to the characters.
I just can't fucking imagine you drew all of that on your own !
You are one hell of a determined person !
Reviews for "RETRO ARCADE ANIME: R-TYPE"
love the art stle reminds me of gundam seed and wing
I love the start already. Arguing with the R Type gives some funny monologue and really introduces me to the awesome art style. I already think I'm in for a good ride.
The first little fight scene in the ship was badass. It showcased your working with an almost 40 year old style of anime, yet the way it all flows, you can just tell how advanced of an animation it was. The music in the scene was subtle, but kept you enthralled in the action of the scene.
The detail into everything is mind blowing. Watch someone or thing get blown up or watch the background as the ship races by. Everything has such an extra touch of detail bestowed upon it. I'm interested how long this animation took, the hours had to be beyond belief for this work.
The jokes in this are placed in almost awkward spots, which seems to make it flow as an anime better. Randomly visually impairing the main character, him shouting about H.P. Lovecraft, or the girl just making fun of his poor gaming skills. Good jokes, keep em' rolling.
Overall this is one of the better submissions I've seen lately. This might be one of the best I've seen plain and simple! I look forward to your next submission.
Can't describe this as anything else but amazing! :D Part of me feels like it's a shame to spend such awesome animation just promoting something; not really delving into a story of its own, an epic and emotional rollercoaster more than an actionfest at the arcade, but... it's just so awesomely well-done.
Love the oldskool anime style in particular, from when the artform was at its best and brightest! Everything from the characters to the foes and flashes of light, smoke and explosions... it's all right back to that era of epicness. Impressive fluidity and attention to detail! Awesome work.
