First let me say that as a it's pretty well done. The animation and graphics are up to par and the timing and voice acting seem very very similar to egoraptors original work, almost to the point that it seems like he had directed it himself. So it's tribute worthy.
And as a project it must have been interesting to pay this level of respect to another animator.

That said, strictly speaking "2 stars, nothing new or interesting" seems to fit the bill here. No offence intended, but just like in this case I rather see people try to put in some their own input than using than using egoraptor's building blocks.

I enjoyed it. But like a lot of people state, the effort animation wise was a bit limited. I am not american so I don't know if this is a good portrayal of that guy or not but I do have a thing against the limiting of rights. In this case marriage for gay people. So on that topic I enjoy a bit of religion bashing.

Und so I did

Wow a big raise in skill level all of a sudden.
Both the jokes, animation, voices were really nicely done ( apart from the 1-armed and 6-armed guy having same voice ). The timing greatly improved and it all felt fresh instead of related to other internet gags.

Really loved it

The idea is pretty good and I stand behind it's message. But it felt to lack content after the 2e scene.
Gj though

Awesome, you still tend to skip some drawings from view though by passing through em to fast.
Still I dont think the purpose of this animation was to be full of quality.
I really loved the whole portrayal and atmosphere in this video, usually there is lack of it in your videos.
So really loved this shit. It almost makes me wish you more terror like this in future, if flashes like this are the outcome ;D

Does this mean that your animated series on machinima will end, or do they get a new animator for it? If so...I recommend this guy called Kirbopher.

( You think kirpbo

Thanks, its nice to see people who look at more than just Quality of something.

The sound quality of the young fella seemed a bit off compared to that of the presentator and some the drawings really just looked like cluttered mess, it felt overall a bit messy. The cartoon itself though was nicely buildup and entertaining. Good job.

This animation just really went downhill after the first minute.

It seemed to have a direction of sorts at the beginning. Signs of a script and some form of self-deprecation on the horizon. Which would do a person good once a while if ones flash career seems to mostly rely on bashing other people. My mouth started to water, finally some sign of a person behind all that dickdrawing and endless parodying.

But before the comparisement between egoraptors and your work got even close the gag came. And it was a pretty good gag and the one following up where ego proclaimed himself god was also funny. So generally I was happily suprised with the whole buildup comedy style and that there was plenty of time to understand the inner joke between 2 animators about the subject. But after "the ego god joke" none the events started to make to sense to me anymore, as I felt that the animation did it's job already.

By then the whole thing derailed into 2 fast animation ( really bad timing on some the animation even though all the drawings were there, what is the point having them there if a person can only see it by pausing your video? ).
Add the needless yelling, laughing, vulgairty and violence that seems to be populair comedy lately and suddenly this gem turns into the whole thing those guys ( and me ) were complaining about in the first place. Which is a normal occurence when a joke is carried out for too long it finds it own ass.

This was actually pretty darn good. I am pretty sure it would almost made a 25 year old guy cry....somewhere.

The title is spot on friendship is indeed how it is portrayed here. So thumbs up on that. The drawings were cute and somewhat like a good photo capturing the emotion perfectly. The purple pony however seemed fatter than usual. Not that it matters though, just pointing out.

Voices were done good, captured the feeling well but did have to get adjusted to it, always problem when you used to different voice.

Even though you portrayed the whole deal nicely and I could relate to it well, the whole thing doesnt exactly seem animation heavy. Not that it's bad as it would be distracting to the atmosphere if too much was going on, but if I have to complain about something it would be the ammount of frames of each movement. Because it seemed like a constant 3 frames on every movement with the same timing but I only got slightly distracted by this after a second look.

GOOD JOB

Quick animation, fast speech and a neat style. It's flash movies like this which I still close to newgrounds, it's really refreshing between all the game parodies.

I don't exactly get how the vlog made it in the title it's more like a standup rant of sorts. But given the negative association i ussually have with those this also helped with the whole nice susprise feeling I got while watching this.

If I can make one recommendation it was a tad hard to understand everything, I managed and liked it but I can understand some will not. It would not be a bad idea to add optional subtitles. But I dont deem it that neccesary if you dont get that many complaints about it.

Looking forward for more if coming ;)

This series started out as videos in which I animated a version of myself relating stories directly into the camera, but I really only shared those with my friends. From there, I decided that my website mascot would be a more interesting narrator and visual hook, and somehow I came to the conclusion that a fun, hip hop aesthetic would be really fun and atypical. The title "The Animated Vlog" stuck, because these rants are pretty stream-of-consciousness and don't really serve a traditional narrative of any kind.

I'm planning on a run of six at the rate of one-per-month, then I'll take a break so I can work on other projects, and maybe pick up again down the road for six more, and so on. I don't want to run the idea into the ground, so I'm trying to be aware of the writing quality and the responses I get.

Anyway, thanks for your thoughts.
