Wasim just linked me this new flash by ego, which came out today:

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/484273

I actually thought it was funny the way its mocking the concept of anime, surprisingly. Only for a short while. The start maybe, then it got lame.

zomfgbie · February 21, 2009 10:26 PM

see the animation in a few scenes of the intro was great. if that was consistent it wouldve been fantastic, but then it seemed to get lazy

ok i dont know much of animes and the way ego was trying to parody their style but the lip syncing was half assed and there were just random cuts to faces. AGAIN i dont watch animes so dont quote me on that if it was intended

as for the story i chuckled a few times when they were making fun of stupidly long japanese words

i thought it was pretty good it just started annoying the crap outta me by the time they got to the old guy

didnt laugh im sorry

Alta Don · February 21, 2009 10:47 PM

It was okay but it didn't make me laugh. Only giggle.

psi43 · February 21, 2009 10:54 PM

wow
now I agree with everyone else I didn't laugh a single time, I didn't even smile. But it was still fucking hilarious in my opinion.

Kirbopher · February 21, 2009 10:54 PM

I think the point specifically was that certain "mistakes" in the animation was kept as a throwback to how rushed the production of an anime episode can be sometimes. The best stuff like this comes from people who actually have an appreciate for the stuff they're spoofing, and it shows. Loved it, can't wait for more.

hey his movie didnt even need to load and it was 5.7mb and it didnt lag after playing!
normally when i skip loading and the swf is that big it lags a bit but this one didnt
how does he do that?

unclephil · February 21, 2009 11:07 PM

i thought it was pretty cool.\

this would've been funny 7 years ago

Hammi · February 21, 2009 11:11 PM

Well i wasnt laughing either, im not saying it was straight out hilarious. But the way he imitated typical anime and the silly intro got to me. Made me smirk, believe it or not. I couldnt further care less about the jokes.

well that's kind of my point

i guess i've just seen too many anime parodies. "oh yes that cliche", "yeah they do that a lot".. i get it.

Gerkinman · February 21, 2009 11:22 PM

I didnt mind it, it wasnt like amazing, but i had a giggle here and there, i havent watched anime in years so i dont know what they are like these days, but thats how i remember em being.

psi43 · February 21, 2009 11:35 PM

had a score of 3.98 I think it's the first time one of his movies passed with a score below 4.

Thats what happens when you don't have a familiar brand to carry you.

It's sad. I actually faved that.

shura · February 22, 2009 12:07 AM

i think it would have been funnier if it weren't so long. i liked the beginning, but it got old after the first 2 minutes :/

Michelle · February 22, 2009 01:20 AM

none of his actual jokes were ha-ha to me except when the two guys are running, but the animation itself is pretty funny
i thought the character designs were funny too

Flash · February 22, 2009 02:26 AM

some of the lines have good timing and some are kinda funny
most of them aren't and the voice acting is pretty bad

I didn't like it but it's definitely better than his last few submissions

I saw the opening and thought, "Holy shit, is ego actually going to put effort into the art?"

Then it started and it turned out to be his typical style... which makes no sense since he reused the same graphics several times throughout the entire run of the Flash. Why not take a few moments to clean up the art since shortcuts are already being taken?
