[Darkest Souls]

wow, this was so great and so detailed, on so many levels!
the protagonist, aka the knight, was truly beautifully drawn, in high detail, and with great armour, helmet, weapons, and face design, which shows to the viewer your great skill in depicting cool faces/and badass armour....

you've drawn his armour/face so beautifully, and so detailed, while his fighting animations were amazing, and very realistic.
as for the zombies, they were nicely drawn, and quite detailed as well, while the ending was... so much accurate that it hurts!
lol, that tea-bagging... hahaha!

great movie, do more!

[Firelink Annals: Lautrec]

hmmm this is a VERY interesting take on the dark souls characters, and its quite original as well!
i would like to see how some other characters in DS react, feel and interact with their enviroment, and perhaps we can analyse their mindset in some other episodes as well!
in this episode, we see the shy(?!) knight lautrec, trying to talk, with the seemingly mute woman at the bonfire.
but the truth is revealed, with the discovery of an i-pod! but how did it ended there? time travel! (lolz!)

anyways, the movie had many good jokes, and i loved the puns, and the different take on lautrec. instead of depicting him like the cruel knight that he is, you showed him as a shy, love-struck romantic knight that tries to talk with the firelink girl... pretty cool!1

also, one detail in your movie that i LOVED, was you showing lautrec's holes in his helmet reacting like eyes, and therefore adding face expressions in a helmet, something almost impossible!
i also liked that the top helmet-holes were his ''eyes'' and expressed as such, and the bottom helmet-holes, were his mouth, and it made him smile/pout when needed, while his ''helmet hairs'', reacted like the cat ears that stretch/fall down according to the mood of the owner... VERY clever action the thing that you did with his helmet ''eyes''/''mouth'' and ''hair'', very nice!

as for the movie/story itself, it was a fresh new look on a dark story in DS, (no pun), and it was very nicely drawn, animated and thought out...
VERY good work!

i also liked how lautrec was flirted by spider-woman at the end, cute ending, and game-wise, i think we can all agree on one thing: patches is a bloody annoying character.

you should definitelly try to animate new episodes with oscar, solaire, siegmeyer, and dark tarkus, to name a few.

good work sir, do more like this! :)

[Dark Souls Parody 2]

a really nice dark souls parody, even tho there are 2 major mistakes in this movie...
1. the sound/voices are too LOUD. you should either lower the voices a bit, OR... you could show a warning at the start of the movie (like a disclaimer of something, and say: warning: has loud sounds/voices.) other than that, it was a funny movie tho!
and problem 2:
2. you need a preloader, or a play-replay button.
the movie loops all the time, and while this is a beautifully drawn and nicely animated movie, the fact that it starts and ends in a loop is kinda unfair for the movie itself.
loops often are associated with spam movies, and this is not a spam movie.
this is a great, nicely animated dark souls parody, and a good animation.
so it should not loop.

other than that, it was VERY well-drawn, and with cool animation, very swift, and with many good jokes in it.
good movie.
also the ending was cool.
keep it up!

[PREVIEW - DARK SOULS 3 |]

a great trailer, for a great game!
i haven't played DS 3 yet, but i am certain that your movie is quite accurate, lol! ;)
great drawings, cool animation, nice (muffled) voice-acting, and good use of subtitles, while the movie reached a climax at the end...

everything was nicely drawn, and well-animated... great movie.
keep it up, and do more!

[Dark Sauce Part 3]

hahahaha, once again, a great parody of dark souls!
you should make more like this, it had MANY good moments, and many funny stuff in it!
the start is cool, as you combined fraampt's voice audio when to speak with him (or when you wake him up), and you combined it with your knight trying to wake him up with many ways, (horn, aircraft, jackhammer, etc etc), and then only his sword manages to awaken the old serpent!
and i also like the part where fraampt said ''WHAT? you fool, you destroyed everything... and-OH WELL, its ok, i have many godvessels, over there!''. pretty funny.
and his line ''hate the game, dont hate the serpent'', was clever. nice pun, m8!
also, i loved the fight with the ghey dragon/librarian seath the scaleless, the part where the knight talked about his lack of eyes, and the abudance of books was quite hillarious!
also i liked seeing the other DS bosses playing cards, it was cool.
it was generally a great movie, nicely animated, with a fluid animation, and some nice pace, action and humour, while the face expressions and the movements where very nicely animated and drawn, and the movie was very swift in general.

a great movie to witness, and i would like to see more like this!
keep up the good work!

[Dark Sauce Part 2]

wow, a great sequel to your ''dark sauce'' parody, and a nice follow up on what happened after you speak with fraampt the kingseeker.
i loved your great adventures, i liked the awesome narrative by VaatiVidya, once again, and i liked the moments were you showed the creepy fraampt doing evil things, lol, that scene was hillarious! haha!
also i loved the great battle of you with solaire VS ornstein and smough... greatly drawn, nicely designed, and greatly animated... you rock!
also the ending where (SPOILERS SPOILERS the moment where you met gwynevere in her room and she's huge and sexy, and you sang a ledegary song, and your knight accidentally killed her, (since 1 hit can kill her), and then the city of annor londo transformed into a night-city, and the real monsters would appear more often... because she was an illusion)
END OF SPOILERS

so, overall, it was a great movie once again, funny, cool, and nicely showing the troubles of a gamer playing a hard game like dark souls.
good work!

do more!

[Dark Sauce]

wow, this was one of the best dark souls parodies ever!
a great start, to a (now) classic series!
i loved how your main character, dressed with the classic heavy armour outfit and armed with his sword and knowledge, started this great adventure.
also, the narrative at the disclaimer spoken by VAATIVIDYA himself, was an AWESOME touch! its a great honor, and he did some of the BEST dem.souls/dark souls videos/lore/narratives... great artist, and a cool person as well.
then, you showed us your adventures of your first playthrough, and the start of a long, and painful journey.
i liked the moments where your knight was waiting for the ally phantom, and a dark phantom (aka a griefer) appeared, killing your dude.
also, i LOVED the solaire parts, i loved how his helmet melted from the extreme sunlight, and i loved the moment where you guys went on ''jolly cooperation'', and the ''danger zone'' began to play... really nice and funny!
also the ''DAT ABDOMEN'' moment was really cool, and quite accurate! ;)
overall, it was a great movie, with MANY hillarious moments, and many good jokes to be told.
also, it was very accurate, as this game is too hard.

you create great cartoons, they are good and funny, so keep making them, they are good! :)

[Friendship is Manly: Saddleship]

wow, this was very well-done!!!

incredible animation, with beautiful drawings and a great animation speed, very fluid animation!
despite the fact that i dislike the MLP fads/trends, i do like this movie...
also, lol fluttershia la beouf? epic! XD
hahahaha!
it was good, keep it up!

[STITCHES IN THE CINEMA]

a short, but really well-drawn cartoon!
the rapper dude that sniffed the sugar and laughed on the sofa was VERY well-drawn!
pretty cool.

KRobinson responds:

cheers pal

[Sexy Mario Bros]

lol, that was weird, uncomfortable to watch, and so crazy... but it was SO FUNNY and so well-done, that noone can ignore its epic values! you win sir!
good drawings, nice, flawless animation, and good jokes (luigi removing his own eyes, koopa being horrified, flying koopa being scared, and bowser... well, bowser being bowser!)
also the ending was hillarious!

good job sir!
i will go wash my eyes now ;)
