Very dissapointing

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.

Egoraptor responds:

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!

It was alright I guess

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

SmokedBacon responds:

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.

I've said it before,

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.

Tomorrows-Nobody responds:

You're wrong.

Imprefect metaphor,

but the point definitely gets across. I think in general this cartoon is referring to illwillpress and foamy. I can't say a disagree.

Alright animation, good message.

ZekeySpaceyLizard responds:

Not very good.

It was wierd and a little stupid. What did you just make me watch? It had no plot or anything. I thought it was an intro, but it just turned out it sucks. The animation was fine, I guess, but it was pretty bad in almost every respect.

Bob-Hernie responds:

At least you thought the animation was good, so hey I'm happy :)

sucks. hard.

Don't listen to NoSmallFire, he's just a friend of the person who made this aniamtion, or his mom.

Animation was horrible, if you can even call that animation. character models sucked ass. Sound sucked, and acting sucked. Even if this was well animated it wouldn't deserve the front page because the jokes or very lame.

D-to-da-P responds:

actrully I dont know him. and actrully i havnt told any freind to review my submision... becasue i have know friends. i dont know why.

cool idea....

maybe have a 'hero' that doesn't look quit so nerdy.

Asvegren responds:

hey, harry potter sells good? but then again, he's coolness personified

good....

right now its missing the major plot and the voices all sound the same, but I look forward to episode 2!

Riotcomix-2006 responds:

The voices sound the same because they're all from me and plus they were somewhat did on purpose. See ya at Episode 2, glad ya liked it.

I animated the ultimate showdown when I was 14 years old.
