[Bunnykill 5 Part 2]

Awesome Finish

Been waiting for this, and it was definitely worth waiting for. Without a doubt, this goes to show you don't always need to focus on Snowball to have a great Bunnykill animation. Dust as the main protagonist in this one was great, and his killing spree of revenge was definitely well done and didn't disappoint in the slightest. Still, people that are wondering what happened to Snowball, if he's going to be in Bunnykill 6, and why characters are behaving differently than previous Bunnykill movies really need to start paying more attention...

The combat took off quickly and fiercely, and so much happened so fast that it would definitely need a couple of watches to see everything that happened in those few seconds. What was definitely awesome to see was some vehicular, high-speeds combat, and the battle with Dust taking on that helicopter was pretty awesome and wasn't something I was expecting when I started watching this. I also liked the helicopter's design, it was pretty original and definitely cool-looking. For a minute, I thought Dust was going to die from falling off the building and I thought his last, final act of revenge would be doing one last critical infliction of damage to the helicopter before it escaped. However, it was great to see the fight kept going. For a minute, I thought Smoke was going to die from the helicopter crashing while he was still inside it. But, the way he actually does die (not spoiling it) is pretty epic.

Also, I liked the surprise twist ending. Didn't see that coming at all. Makes me wonder if we'll ever find out who Flint's enigmatic associate is, but even if we never do and it's really meant to be open-ended for the viewer to make their own theories, it was still a great movie nonetheless.

As always, Rajunen did a great job with the music also. It flows pretty well with the speed of the action, although making a techno-like track with a fast pace and a rapid beat to capture the intensity and action might be cool to see implemented, if possible.

Another well deserved 10. Once again you prove bunnies can be brutal and badass.

Thanks for the long review! :D

[Bunnykill 5 Part 1]

Man, I love this series.

It's been well over a year and a half since I've reviewed anything on Newgrounds, and if there was any Flash animation that would break me out of that long hiatus, it definitely would be Bunnykill 5. Truth be told, as good as Madness Abrogation is, it just doesn't compare to this.

Again, you spin the tables around in terms of characters, settings, and roles, creating a very vivid urban setting with awesome-looking firearms, badass ninja swords, and new implementations that have never been used in Bunnykill animations before, such as riot shields, cloaking devices, electrically-charged blades, and the list goes on. Meanwhile, the action started off subtle and slow, but really picked up to a frenzied pace and really got the blood flying and the heads rolling. The Metal Gear Solid themes and references were also pretty good and well used, from Codec calls to hiding in boxes and stealth all over the place.

What was also interesting to see was how Dust was supposedly supposed to be Snowball's ally this time when he's usually been one of Snowball's elite adversaries. Meanwhile, Smoke, who was such a good ally of his in Bunnykill 3, takes on an antagonist role. Definitely goes to show you never know what to expect from these two, and how they can take on a role that involves anything. Makes me wonder if there will ever be a day when both of them have to ally with Snowball to take on something that's ten times more nastier and powerful.

Meanwhile, the backgrounds and environments were incredibly well drawn and exceptionally well-designed, and seem to get even better each and every time you make a new Bunnykill animation. And again, you put it to good use, having the characters, especially Snowball, constructively use their surroundings and whatever they can get their hands on as possible weapons or leverage to overcome their enemies. Meanwhile, the new weapons were awesome, packed a lot of power, and looked absurdly cool. This one reminded me a lot of Bunnykill 2's setting with a lot of extra bang, a lot of extra power, and a lot of extra action. So much happens so fast that if you blink for just a second, you'll find three dead bunnies with holes and cuts in their heads and you won't even know how that happened. It's extremely intense and just begs to be watched again and again. Without a doubt, you rock at what you do.

And yes, I haven't even mentioned the deadly cliffhanger at the end of this one. I don't want to spoil it for anyone reading this before they've seen the animation, but it definitely has me wondering what's to become of it.

Keep em' coming. Like I said, I love this series.

Mottis responds:

Thanks!

Yeah, I delibiretaly changed the roles for Dust and Smoke. You can see during the intro conversation that the Boss does't ever mention who is Snowball's ally and who's the enemy. The viewer is supposed to assume that Smoke is his friend in this one, untill the twist ;)

A Day Long Awaited

First off, words can't describe how amazed I am at how this all turned out. Working with you guys was a great and awesome experience, and I would gladly welcome the invitation again. I didn't know much about Disturbed before working with this collab, and now I can't get enough of their songs. I'm sure that if the band ever came across this collab, they'd love it.

I think the best features of collabs like these are the fact you've got teamwork going on, and you've got many different styles mixed together to produce one amazing and incredibly awesome piece. This had those kinds of qualities and then some. Truthfully, I'm proud to be a part of it, and I would have felt pretty bummed out if I hadn't. Meanwhile, I'm glad that Newgrounds exists so that artists like us can seize the opportunity to make these masterpieces.

Meanwhile, the action, the intensity, and the detail really made this collab shine. Everyone's part was awesome, unique, and different in style when compared to everyone else's, and when you add them all together, you've got one hell of a mind-blowing collab. Looking at it now, there's nothing I would change about this. We made this the best it could be, and we held nothing back.

To ShortMonkey and all the other artists that helped contribute, thanks for making this possible. It was great working with you guys.

ShortMonkey responds:

Thank you for the comments, mate. I'm glad you enjoyed working with us and am proud of the final product. Thanks for participating - hopefully we can work with each other another time.

[Bunnykill 4]

Absolutely Worth Waiting For

When you make Bunnykill animations like these, waiting is trivial. Every new animation released goes above and beyond what the last one did, and they never disappoint. Even though this was originally inspired by Madness, its taken on a whole new life and genre of its own, and truthfully, I strongly feel it deserves its own collection. There are many things that Bunnykill does that Madness doesn't even touch. Truthfully, while what Krinkels does with his Madness series is impressive, I honestly like Bunnykill better. Bunnykill has more storyline, more character, more emotion, more color, more detail, and the action is always incredibly fast and furious. But like I said, they've become their own entities, though I honestly feel with all the glory Madness gets, this is sorely under-rated.

What I think is also really impressive is how you switch time periods and settings totally with ease, making each new installation something fresh and interesting each and every time. Meanwhile, every new edition does things that go way above and beyond what the last one did. What I would love to know is how you manage all those characters on the screen at the same time doing different things and interacting all at once. And I knew this one had to be much harder to animate considering there were no firearms involved at all, which meant just about every kill had to be melee. You, sir, deserve a lot of respect for what you do with these animations. This looks HARD to pull off, but you make it seem so easy.

I like the introduction of new characters, and I found the backgrounds to be stunning in detail. And without a doubt, every final battle gets more and more intense. Meanwhile, the action was fluid and flawless, perfectly timed and smoothly animated like quicksilver. Every fight was perfectly executed, and while Snowball kicked a lot of ass, it realistically wasn't a walk in the park.

As for what could be possibly done to top even this? That's a tough question. A Bunnykill with a post-apocalyptic urban setting with road wars, explosions, and blazing gunfire would be action paradise for me, but that of course is up to you. However you decide to approach Bunnykill 5, I'm sure it will be an awesome and welcome addition to this already incredible series.

Good luck with the next one, but I know you're already prepared to make it awesome. Go for it!

Mottis responds:

Thanks for the awesome and lengthy review.

yeah, since I can freely change the entire theme of the movie, I can always try out new things. And right now I have a few neat tricks up my sleeve for Bunnykill5, that will open endless opportunities as far as choreographies go. And since I liked the whole instant teleportation thing so much, I might just try to incorporate that into the next one too somehow.

[All NG Fads Die!!! 5!!!]

Because that’s how we roll!

Loved it, the killing of Tomorrow’s Nobodies made me crack up because I love that series and it has yet to be nailed in an AFD. And here it was! Beautiful.

And Helbereth was freaking ON FIRE! Snake and Optimus Prime were drawn incredibly well, it baffles me how he manages to get the time to do all that, make it so freaking kickass, and castrate every other flash in the portal. See, didn’t I tell you this guy rocked? It would be awesome if he would join for AFD6, but if he can’t, hell, at least we can all say he was there, he kicked ass, and lit the sky on fire with that part.

Every piece, every part had class, and the menu itself looked a lot smoother and was even better than AFD4’s. Sure, the style was different, but it’s like a new breed, something fresh and good.

You did well guys, I had problems running AFD5 and you excelled where I couldn’t. Radioactive, you da man.

Radioactive24 responds:

Well, since he has a WoW addiction, I haven't had much time to talk to him recently. BUT, hopefully he'll be as entusiastic about 6 as he was 5. And you better get your ass on a part too, Neo >:( People have been saying "Where the fuck is pikachu and that bad ass, Topz?" How much longer until you're done working? B/c I can drive now, and NJ is only a few hours away.

[SSBM : C.Falcon's Chaos]

Well done, even though...

Gaaah, okay, I’ll admit its good, fast paced, and nicely done just the way I like it, but seeing Pikachu get beat to a pulp is far more common in Flash movies than you think. Not convinced? Put “Pikachu” in the search bar. Yeah. Now you know why I turn the tables around in my movies. :P

Like some people said before, I don’t understand Link’s and Homer’s cameo in the movie considering they did so little and were only on the screen for a few seconds. And the whole time I thought they were going to get their asses kicked as well, but eh. For a sprite movie, it’s incredible, fast and furious like the Sonic’s Quest for Power series which never ceases to amaze me.

And I won’t let my admiration for Pikachu give you a biased score, you did well and you deserve the credit.

rebaz responds:

Awesome.... such a long Review :P
yea indeed ''And I won’t let my admiration for Pikachu give you a biased score, you did well and you deserve the credit.''

thats jsut awesome man...You are great =D

glad ya liked it

[BlondStar]

Pure trash.

Oh come on. This seriously sucks and I'm glad the score of this shitty little Flash is dropping like a rock. No effort, no humor on your part, since it's not your audio, so what is really in here besides text and fades? I could have pumped this out in five minutes, hell even the stick figure crap that gets blammed daily is better than this.

If it was your audio, MAYBE the 3.00 would be justified. Maybe. But as a Flash, it still sucks. I've seen you submit loads of low-effort crap before but this really tops them all on the shit list.

Work harder, Walrus. Your YAAFM and Boobs, Butt, and Shoulder stuff may be decent, but this... not a chance in Hell. And I hope this tells you that your name alone won't net you a decent score, though I can tell you really tried this time.

The-WalrusZ responds:

Did I say this was my audio? No,
Did I CLEARLY STATE that this was stolen audio? Yes.
Did I say this was just for a QUICK LAUGH? Yes.
Did I inquire in the forums whether or not I should submit this? Yes.
Do I know it could take anyone very little time to do this? yes.

So what's your point?

[All NG Fads Die!!! 4.2!!!]

Rocked the world

I loved it, Tripping Metal, The Truth Seeker, and everyone else did an amazing job. Plus, nothing else like watching someone else animate you kicking ass. I loved that part, and it was done so damn well. Needless to say, that's my favorite part of the collab, but the rest of it rocked as well.

Glad to see another AFD in the portal with an outstanding score.

MACception responds:

"Glad you have you with us Neo. :D Lead us to victory with AFD5 oh great leader."

-Tripping Metal

For sure, my good friend. I'm sure AFD5 will blow everyone the fuck away, and make Tom Fulpenheimer himself creame in his pants with joy. No shit dude. Lead them to victory.

[All NG Fads Die!!! 4!!!]

Just what I wanted to see

Damn, couldn't protect this because my brother and his friends wanted to get some BF2 games in, but when I got back, I was glad to see this in the portal with a sweet score.

Don't know how my part got laggy, but hell, that's what's the quality button is for. Other than that, it was genius, all of it. As for AFD5, I'll do nothing less than my ultimate best to make sure the carnage lives on and gets better and better every passing movie.

Logo, you're a genius, 'nuff said.

MACception responds:

Neo, you and Topz saved AFD...

'nuff said.

Carnage At Its Finest

I adore the way this came out, and everyone did an awesome job. ADF1 was awesome, AFD2 was platinum, and this AFD just made sex itself jealous. My favorite parts were those done by Topz and TrippingMetal, but they were all awesome and it all came together with pristine quality. And secondly, for me, it was awesome to actually take part in this delightful killing spree, and holy shit, I’ll be more than happy to do it again.

Logo, we did awesome and made it even better than the last one. Let’s rock for AFD4.

MACception responds:

Dude, Neo, stop being retarded...you KNOW you did the best piece, stop being so generous :-D You did an awesome job, and this score is mostly reflective on you...great job man. All my <3.
