[Stick Man Fight]

well...

okay, so you didn't "rip" XiaoXiao off... but I can't really give you any points for originality, right? I mean regardless of whether you copied or not, you can't deny the fact that people have seen this before, from many people, not just XiaoXiao. The cartoon in itself wasn't bad, it's just been done.

[Heart of the Katana]

good first effort

as a first effort it's good. the art is impressive, but the animation is lacking. story wise, it's pretty cliche, i guess if i come across the rest of this series in the future i'll see how it turns out. keep it up.
and just to be further a jerk to the nice maker of this animator, here's some nitpicking:
1) the hitmen would almost certainly use silencers in their guns, if they were professionals. it's late at night and they really don't wanna wake anyone up.
2) the gunshot was from the top down on the head, there's no reason it should hit the fan in the ceiling.

[Work]

great animation

the animation was hella smooth, i gotta give you props for that. the imagery was pretty, but i think they were a little random. i was expecting a little more significance in the animation once that "dream" sequence started.

[Big Mistake Part 1]

you got better

yes, this is great, but the next parts definitely got better technique wise. keep up.

[Bowling: The Pins Revenge]

almost original

the premise is clever, i mean the pins definitely deserve their just revenge, but a gun? I coulda predicted that from a mile away. But I didn't, because I thought it was a clever cartoon. Some more elaborate revenge would have worked.

[Karma Ghost]

great style

this is an animation of great style and panache that echoes the style of the 1960's UPA cartoons (like Mr. Magoo and the like). Very creative.

[Taliban Twister]

i don't know why i like it

the actual message is pretty bad, but it stays funny. if all people can just vent their anger this way instead of violence, the world would be a much better place.

[Things to come!!!]

here's what you need

first of all, the graphics weren't done in flash, they seem to be just traced bitmaps that were done in 3d studio max or some such, so i can't give it that high of a score.

the audio is really repetitive, and instead of having them in layers, you had them go right after the other.

there's no real story, and it was really short, and because of the way you handled the graphics this was about 5 times larger in file size than it should be.

[e trailer (final version)]

Oh man...

Great animation AND drugs for a school project. I'm jealous already.

[Shooting People For Fun 2]

effort shows through

the art in this is amazing. well, animation wise. this was a messload of frame by frame stuff, so i salute you. the ways he shot people were just enough to keep it from getting old really fast, but it did start getting a little dull.
