["Madness: Project Nexus" Cinematic Trailer]

This is a masterpiece even if you haven't played Project Nexus. It's a whole different experience to have played it and recognize every scene. Incredible!

[Sonic Frontiers of Pain]

It took me far too long to get the joke behind the stock image backgrounds. This is a riot! Highlight is Sonic getting slammed into the same mountain three different times.

[Dot Dot Dot - Animated]

The music is a perfect addition

[Wendy has a Knife]

Willy: What do you have there Wendy?

Wendy: A knife!

Willy: NO!

[Calli Vs. Gura: SMOL SHOWDOWN]

I love how Gura's gremlin smile gets wider every passing moment.

[Too Slow WITH LYRICS]

Gonna be honest, I mostly clicked because of the sick thumbnail art. This was pretty good, though!

[Salmon Blunders]

I knew what was coming the moment I saw the helicopter, but the sheer abruptness of it made me laugh anyway.

[Madness 4:20]

Madness. Everywhere and everything is Madness. I see it with my eyes, I hear it in my ears, I feel it in my bones. It is all and everlasting. Madness.

That is what came to mind when trying to explain how this is an absolute trip in the best possible way. You've definitely got my vote for the best animation.

(highlight for me was the MC pulling the 'bullet hole' object off his own body)

[Madness Paradox]

Pretty ambitious, though I do think there is a lot of room to improve.

People are saying the combat's slow, but I think it's more that grunts are just getting shot and dying. There's very little dodging or other moving around, and not enough is happening. There are a couple of moments of movement, like when the MC dives for the uzi in the second room, and those look great.

Also, having the MC look the same as everyone else makes it easy to lose track of them. The first secret passage fight is the biggest offender. I know having a stylized MC is overdone, but there's a reason everyone does it.

You've got potential, that's why I gave a more critical review. Hope to see you refine your craft going forward.

[Project Creber: Extrication Part 2]

The first was good, and this is even better! The MAG fight was a highlight, but I'm pretty sure you knew that because of that sick art at the end.
