Well goddamn it that was just plain amazing.

man, I always loved krinkels work. Is krinkels.net still up?
yo zone.
I know this review won't really matter to anyone at all, especially because I'm not one of your currency-paying lovelies, but I gotta admit, your content is REALLY starting to suck.
Listen, I know you're one of the more renowned "adult parody" artists, but despite these ZTV projects, it's just not cutting it. Catch phrases, *character development*? etc.
the delivery is not favorable to the effect you're trying to achieve.
I know that you (probably) have a life, and making animations & shit costs money, so you gotta charge for your work to compensate.
However, I'd consider you to have gone from a digital artist to a cartoon cocktease of sorts. At least, cocktease might've applied, but ZTV isn't really sexy. At all.
Don't get me wrong, the voice actors are great, and as always the art and animation is quite fluid, but the "risque factor" seems to rely more on hentai POP CULTURE than actual incorporated sexuality. And I get it. Maybe that's the point. I'm not saying you should unwillingly smut it up in your new cartoon web series, from which you undoubtedly see some level of creativity manifest, but the occasional tentacle rape reference isn't nearly as enjoyable in the context of SEX as well, actual sex. Though, I can imagine, your voice actor may feel reluctant to just flat out record sex noises, and she probably would feel even less enthusiastic/"proud" of using "porn animation moaning" in her portfolio. So obviously, the solution doesn't necessarily lie in my (suggestion?).
But seriously. ZONE wasn't made known by T-rated animations.
You don't have a bad sense of humor, you've just become quite involved in monetizing something that the target audience quite honestly isn't often willing to pay for. You've decided to target all the non-paying fans with something that really just makes them wonder where the rest of your work vanished to, and why all the stuff they like is non accessible.
Then again, I am quite the asshole here. It's time for the asshole icing on the cake.
All those animations/games you used to make, "midna", "Aisha", etc. I'd just find full free versions on some vague unknown site. I quite like them, they're VERY well made, but I've never paid for them, and at my current age, unfortunately, never will.
There's no doubt that you're an awesome person, and that you deserve to get results for your efforts. There's also no doubt I'm gonna get tons of hate for this, perhaps from you as well. I just felt it was the right time to speak my mind, and to stop lying to myself.
I dunno. Do what you do best.
At first I thought the animation was.. OK, at best, but at the end... Thank you.
Thank you for reminding me what DMT truly is.
This was almost exactly what I saw.
When I smoked DMT, I felt as though I was thrust into a combination between an expansive Desert And a moonlit cave.
Even the colors you used were PERFECT. When the sky would go dark, I would become worried, nostalgic, and altogether sad because I thought the trip was about to end (which I see as a parallel to one's emotions about their own life ending), but then The colors would illuminate myself, and the entire universe, reverberating the loving Idea of "Always. Always. No matter what, There is Love. Always."
The colors ranged from the entirety of the ground's surface shifting from a vibrating warm, warm brown, To a loving turquoise green, To a light, but still warm violet.. Almost like a sunset combined with the catharsis of knowing you have at least BEEN alive, you have HAD that experience.
The sky around me would fluctuate between a sea green to the glow of the sunset's heavens....
I felt so overjoyed at it all, I was still breathing normally, but I wanted to cry at the emotional beauty of it all.
I would see the sky, it would go dark, revealing the ceiling of my actual location, allowing me to hear what my dad & my friends next to me were saying, then it would remove me from my real world and bend the edges of everything until my soul knew I was back in my "DMT desert".
The "desert" felt like the real of all that is Love, and like the place sincerely wants you to UNDERSTAND, you are loved, even in the end.
My mind knew that this substance is "The one", not in any superiority sense, but in the sense that where you go USING DMT is what all life strives for.. The ability to know You are a being of sentience, but still be in the paradise & eternal bliss of the end of life.
To this day, anytime I hear anything that sounds similar to the gentle, loving piano/guitar music I heard whilst under it's influence, I feel it is obligatory to cry tears of joy, as doing so breifly brings me back to that same place of happiness and eternity.
I truly believe DMT could help many, many people.
So once again, thank you, Patonion, Seymour, for creating this beautifully orchestrated, Strikingly realistic example of the power of this experience.
@UKeFox
You have zero understanding of the hallucinogen nature
stating that both LSD and DMT are comparable to aspirin shows your ignorance. In your mind, drugs are just for "making your brain go funny".
No.
These ones especially, are TOOLS, and can only be used if you know how to use them. Even then, It's not like certain drugs will positively affect or help everyone (especially with hallucinogens). Using these tools is like working with a block of marble, and only you know how to work it (if you can). Drugs won't "Give you anything" by themselves (to an extent), there has to be something to work with already present.
Also, about the animation
Author, sorry about your bad experience, IF it's true. If it's just a piece of writing, well.. On these terms, perhaps you should've picked a different drug. Unles of course this was all in your head, that's plausible. however, for a drug to make a person act this way, it'd have to be something lke Datura, or Belladonna, or a high dose of diphenhydramine. Y'know, a deleriant-dissociative.
Animation was good, but I might try for a better narrator
Excellent animation, Always loved hotdiggedydemon anything.
No, Rina chan and Egoraptor aren't the only voice actors on newgrounds.
Besides, this has been on youtube since forever.
Still, one of the best ones out there.
It's weird how his pony series became one of the best series he's made, after the jerry/jackie/junior series.
I personally kinda liked WGj4k, but I haven't watched it since the pony series came out. I'm not even a brony.
ahaha.
I actually failed to watch this while it was on the front page, AND I gave africa dudes a good review. I now see the error of my ways, beg for forgiveness, and hand you a fifen/10 for awesomesauce.
Hey, excellent, but..
hey, uh... when you gonna continue that zelda series? y'know, Unknown origins? had a lot going for it in my opinion. come on. little fanservice please.
EXTREMELY well done.
This is very under appreciated, anyone who can't watch this and appreciate it isn't a true newgrounds-er You know, I noticed most of the low-rating reviews complained about the length of the video. Fucking loved it, gonna watch again.
