Sonic X: Cosmic Chase Four years, yet slightly underwhelming
Back when this was announced I was a huge fan of flashes like this, and when the trailer made its way onto Newgrounds I can only recall how much this was a massive hit. The animation was almost way before its time so to speak. But with the time since then I can't say it's aged perfectly. The art is generally good, but while only half of the animations are fluid and very well done, the other half is generally a bit on the sub par side so to speak. The characters and backgrounds don't really mix that well until the second half as they contrast heavily, and some characters such as Tails are pretty poorly done in general.
That's not to say that this movie was bad and not an entertaining watch. The fight scenes are intense and your effects are very impressive. It looks highly professional. What stood out most was how you handled the smoke, and your 3D effects were executed greatly and added a nice touch. Still some of the best effects I've seen a Flash offer. Your choices in music were also well, and the plot works for what it is. A straight no holds barred battle there to entertain the viewer and at the same time show off and experiment with your talent. However, the Knuckles vs Chaos scene feels a bit cut short and filler.
Overall, while I understand your reasons for putting it off for so long, I don't think the end result lived up to the massive hype. But for what it was, it was pretty fun and had me inspired to get back into Flash animating again. I wouldn't mind watching it again, and I look forward to see what the future holds for you as your talent is really something.
