It was just okay.
It was a mix of feelings that I can express while watching this. I was impressed by the animation but not pulled into it like before.
Some submissions I really liked for it's nearly flawless animation, but the overall jokes were bland in comparison to your previous collabs. Granted it does touch a few relatable jokes for mature audiences, but the whole "boys-bitch-fit" and "getting caught spanking" has been done to death! Allot of these familiar scenarios are simply replaced it with Nintendo characters.
But for those more in-depth jokes, the target audience is for people who are very familiar with the video game titles and related the jokes on a "personal" level. But I feel that a small handful of gamers in comparison to the people who played these games will relate. This flash submissions are strictly for........"dedicated" Nintendo fans of the game titles.
The overall voices were probably the weakest aspect with the exception of some roles played for the male roles. But the diversity of female roles playing other than Kira Buckland is really improving now. For example, Crystal's role at the beginning reminded me of professional theatre.
HOWEVER - on a more PLUS SIDE - Some of these submission features some of the best animation I had ever seen on Newgrounds!
I especially liked the animation submissions by Chris Niosi and Dave Smith. Those sequences of vector based animation are perfect to say the least. Carly & Richie's animation of well...animals....is just wow. It's really good for anthropomorphic characters. You obviously studied the anatomy of "furry" heh. Although don't be insulted if I don't fully understand the terminology. I've been accused of not knowing allot about anime culture despite being Japanese.
Great job you guys. You worked hard and it was worth waiting for. But it personally wasn't that funny to me.
