"it was pretty well animated, when it was"
I have no real athstetic problems with the movie, except some reused animation
the main problem was that it really thought it was cool but it wasn't really that cool
more boring/headache inducing than cool
Author's Response:
Haha sorry to hear that =/
My animation thought it was cool? I did'nt realise... =/
Yeah, I reused parts because I ran out of time D=. I didnt think that the reused parts were that much of a down bringing =/
Thank you for viewing and thanks for the review :)

None of those 3 things would have gotten front page if they were by themselves, they were poorly animated and not particularly funny. The Mario one was especially weak. The whole mario = drugs thing is so overplayed it's not even funny.
If anyone thinks that this thing's score is based on actual merit and not the previous metal gear awesome, they're not really paying attention.
If you had had more shorts, that had better jokes it would have been a lot better. I'm trying to seem constructive here, but I just really didn't enjoy that at all.
Author's Response:
I would really love to submit these compilations with way more shorts, but the rate MTV has me doing them is the rate that I'm submitting them. Basically, if I submitted more every month I would end up catching up with the newest ones and that's something they said they don't want. The reason I'm allowed to submit these ones is because they're so old now. The original plan was 2 a month but I had to struggle with them to make it 3. I really just wanted to get these out there for the fans who aren't in the US since they can't watch the G-Hole because of the region lockout and for the fans who hate sitting through other segments just to watch mine.
As for them being funny, I'm constantly trying to find ways to make the jokes in these shorts fresh so I hope you will enjoy some of the later ones I felt a bit more comfortable writing.
I'm sorry you didn't enjoy these, I'm a fan of your stuff. I hope you will enjoy my non-"awesome" movies that I'm working on!

From what I see you appear to read reviews so giving an actual critique will be worthwhile here
Animation-wise, it seems to me that your characters are designed to not have mouths, which is just laziness on your part. There is no real animation here, so that needs to be improved as well.
The voice acting is pretty good so I don't really have any complaints there.
The writing isn't too great, it seems (from the couple of episodes I've seen) that you are just trying to be zany all the time instead of structuring good plots and jokes. Not only that, but it appears you often (maybe unintentionally) steal jokes from the simpsons/family guy/whatever
As for the general concept of the series, it's kind of short-sighted and weak. There is no real justification for the series and the fact the characters are monsters are completely irrelevant to the series. It occurs to me you probably just took this route to avoid lip sync. As much as I hate doing lip sync and can sympathize, that's pretty weak on your part
barely passable, if you want to make a good or great web series, you are probably going to have to either start over or heavily revamp
Author's Response:
From a lot of the comments you made, you're obviously expecting a different series. It is what it is, and there are people who love it, and people who don't. That's how everything is.
I don't lip sync this series because it's a waste of time on a series that is just random, stupid jokes. And the series is NOT supposed to have a plot, which goes back to you expecting something that the series was not meant to be from the beginning. And I don't recall any stolen jokes... I'm sure I've stuck a reference or two in there somewhere, but never stolen.
"Apartment 51" is just a stupid little cartoon series whose sole purpose is to provide a few good laughs and entertainment, and not something to be taken seriously, and is certainly not expected to be a fantastically animated tour de force.
And I say all this with utmost respect, I know a lot of artists bash bad reviews, I don't. Well, atleast not reviews like this, the ones where people say "suck a nut" or something, yeah, I'm gonna bash them to hell for being stupid.
I know this series is not everyone's cup of tea, but there's a reason its got high scores and wins daily awards - a lot of people get it and like it for what it's supposed to be. And in the end, if I can provide a few laughs and entertainment to people in this fucked up world of ours, then I've done my job.

An Hour later, my hand about to explode, I beat that game.
It's the perfect balance of puzzle solving and skill, and it's hard without being TOO hard. (although some would debate)

A lot of people are dissing this based on how utterly homosexual it is, but the animation was top notch and the song wasn't a bad cover.
If you don't mind this opinion coming from someone who doesn't want to watch the whole thing
Author's Response:
I must say that I am disappointed.
But if you watch the whole thing, neither of us will be disappointed, I can assure you that.... :) ;)

TN is the most professionally produced series on newgrounds, but you guys can't get passed the immature and easy jokes.
I was really hoping this would be good, I wanted it to be, but I found myself kind of bored and there was no real plot. Everything felt like it was setup for a good ending, but it was a total cop-out.
Live action stuff in flashes never work out, it breaks the reality of the series and makes the whole production seem worse.
Tomorrows Nobodies is still better than College University (which doesn't even attempt to make jokes), but what you really need in the series is to come back to the ground every once in a while for realism. I know this is only one review out of a sea of "I LOVE YOU!!!"s, but I think that you guys should spend more itme on writing the actual episodes, and try to be clever instead of random.
Chase: Keep up the good work as far as animation, but youyr character is really uneeded and drags down the series as far as I can see. You're just a pothead version of David who there is occasionally thrown half a fat joke at. If you want the series to be as good as possible, cut out Chase and replace him with a made up character who chase could even voice who is more dynamic.
Hell, while you guys are at it you could cut out Chris, eric is already the straight-man to David's craziness, and I think that TN as a series could pretty much be scrapped.
You guys as a group have plenty of potential to make another better series that has characters instead of rough characterizations of yourselves. I think if you guys worked hard enough you guys COULD make something television-worthy, but this definitely isn't it.

"That was well done and enjoyable"
Although my biggest success is centered around cameos and pop culture references, I agree that too many flashes rely on that tactic, and I'm glad that people like you are around to make sure that there is more to flash than tweens and zany pop culture references.
This was pretty funny and well animated and stuff, you did a good job

The concept is kind of funny and the animation was good, but the voice acting could use a little work.
The Armpit fucking thing wasn't very funny and it sort of took away from the whole thing to go out on that note

To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of the series, but I really enjoyed this one.
You deserve all the praise you get.

Good animation and voice acting, but the writing is really lacking.
I used to kind of like this series, but since Chase came in I've been slowly disliking it more and more.
It's needlessly offensive and falls back on penis jokes and stoner jokes, which is why you guys are never going to get a real series.
If you are really serious about getting an actual show (I remember you pitching the pilot to networks) you're going to have to get a little more high-brow, and not so much rely on the animation to carry you, since in the format of an actual show the animation would be outsourced.
Good job with the Animation and Voice acting, but please work harder on writing, for your own and the viewers sake.
