HEADACHER's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[EP 1: Origin - METROGENERIC]

Been looking forward to this for a while and I think the art & animation is really nice, has a lot of style as to be expected. One thing that lets it down though is the audio mixing honestly. The SFX aren't well balanced with some being quite loud and others more subdued (regardless of the sources' position in the apartment space) so I'd suggest normalizing the sounds next time around.
I do think the BGM for the first minute or so could have been louder, maybe by 15% or something just to assert some more of that peppy but relaxed energy it was giving off. Would really add to the wholeness of the setting & pre-alienized Trudy.

Well made though & looking forward to the next one.

[Mysterious Wiggas]

I like the animation a lot, and the backgrounds are pretty damn solid, but the long hair dude's voice is nothing but mumbling. Is that a purposeful decision or just a poor audio setup?

It's quite hard to know what he's saying for most of the runtime. It's unfortunate since the writing is funny enough and the plot seems well realized.

Keep it up!

[I WUZ A TEENAGE SERIAL KILLER?!]

This was great! Well animated and from the point that the MC's mom came into the room, was quite funny too. The only thing that sticks out to me is the dialogue up until that point. It's just painstakingly standard to a incredibly generic degree. Some more panicky and incoherent dialogue from the Daniel instead of exposition and obvious shit would've been so much better.

"Is that a knife?!?" no shit dumbass who even talks like that??

Overall really well made though, just gotta work on that dialogue more. MC is a bit of a melvin as well but sure that fits the vibe overall, can';t complain there.

Keep it up!!

[POPPIN' OFF]

this shit is pure schizo I love it, the blend of old messy NG animation with off the wall loud==funny humor is superb and works way better than I thought it would

[Measure Up]

Dude this is some of the most beautiful block shading and cross hatching in the environment I've ever seen, gorgeous work!

Everything looks so natural and slick!!

[Big For Him Teaser]

I really can't tell if the dialogue is ironically bad or if it was just added to pad out the setup
