My mouth is watering. That was crazy well directed and composed. Solid chars and good animation. Effects could be better (but effects can always be better right?). I'm really looking forward to what you guys put out.

You've got some major skills man, I'm excited to see what you make in the future. The shortness wasnt a problem for me, as you conveyed the entire idea, but I think the one thing you need to work on is timing. Find those spots where you can really let the shot sink in before you move on, otherwise people wont really be able to process what you've shown them. It shows off your art more and keeps people from getting flustered and confused. Fast pacing is awesome (that's all I do), but it's a constant battle between speed and readability/suspense.
Keep pwnin it!

I'm glad you liked it! I know what you mean by the money shots. I tried to extend some of them by looping 2 frames that are stagnant in motion. i'm going to make another one though.

Wonderfully composed, good job man! That puppies part was clearly the emotional climax, but I think a lot of people here don't quite get how complex that moment must feel for you. Thank you for sharing these intimate memories with us, I hope it helped you sort out some things.

"Incredible testament to the power of cartooning"
First off, come on Newgrounds, this is incredibly underrated. Next time put mario and akuma in it and you'll be number one for a week.
Beautiful work man, this is impressively strong, creative, direct, charicatured, identifiable, and brilliant both as a standalone animation, and as a wonderful music video. Well done on all respects, I can't really even find anything thats NOT working in this animation.
I'll be watching out for you, you're going places man. Hope to work with you some day =D.

Brilliant man! This is super underrated, I hope being on the front page is gonna blast your score up cuz this is some genius stuff. Aweseme art direction throughout man I loved your abstracted backgrounds, they were incredibly effective (especially the "COLD HUGS" effects). Cool characters (stick in the head), short and sweet, thats how I love em. I'm looking forward to everything you make, stay quality man!

"This is what I've been waiting for"
My god man, FINALLY. Creative story, excellent voice acting as always, awesome satire, brilliantly composed animation and art, and a solid money shot at the end. Way to kill it man. I'm really glad you polished that art, awesome colors and crazy solid designs, that extra work really paid off.
Cheers.

10/10 For originality of style and for putting some serious time into the quality and smoothness of the drawings. Awesome work, but you gotta pull it all together man. I know it's really hard to work on one thing for a long time, but perhaps you should just keep your goals more realistic. Try for a 1 minute piece, I'm sure if you kept it short you could get through it. I only wrote this review because I see a lot of talent and potential in you and I'd hate to see it wasted. Reach for greatness.

Demon, seriously... you're possibly the most original artist on NG, you're an incredible animator, and you make an Awesome clone?! Not that it was terrible, it's still better than most of the stuff out there, but why waste your time with a style that's already been beaten to death?
You've got a lot of talent, man, and time is precious to us animators, don't waste it. When you make stuff like this, you not only encourage people to shelf their originality and piggyback someone else's, but you rob us of seeing more of your own inspiring creativity. NG needs you, not more Egoraptor.
