Ever-punctual me finally got some time to review the issue 500 comics. Sorry I'm so very late, but great job, everyone!! Congrats on getting in! I think this was definitely one of my favorite issues to date. =D
----------
Thank you so much for all the reviews, guys! They brightened my day every time I read them, and I really appreciate it. Thank you so much. <3
Neopian Anomaly by lizica166
OMGEEZ! Saly is in your comic, it's such a honor! *u* I loved this comic, the joke is great and there are so many characters, it's amazing! We're all a big, singing, insane family!
*huggles*
Thanks so much, Djudju! *hug* Thanks for letting me draw Saly, too! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
You just did a Crowd Song... In comic form... Well done! That was the catchiest piece of poetry I've ever seen. You could definitely tell when the song was picking up. The concept was executed really well, and the punchline was hilarious.
Thanks so much!! I'm quite flattered you enjoyed the song lyrics so much, and I'm glad you could pick up on its pace. ^^
Neopian Anomaly
Also one of my favorites! I love how you took the song of the volcano ability and turned it into the sheer awesomeness of this comic. Although i'm curious as what the tune is I was trying to sing it quietly to myself to be honest :) But also the detail that you put into each panel was great. The little things like the flowers on the bushes, and the vines hanging from the trees, and then moltara itself was just all really great! Not to mention all of the Nt stars was well :)
Aw, thanks so much!! I feel pretty honored that you'd call mine one of your favorites from this entire issue. I'm afraid I don't know what the tune is, either, but I'm really glad that you were trying to sing along! =D (But I listened to a lot of Muppets and Hairspray as I was drawing, if that gives you any idea of the crazy peppiness I imagined the song would have.) Thank you for noticing all the details, too. ^^
Neopian Anomaly by lizica166
That was EPIC! A song for the 500th issue, who would have thought of that? And all your crossover appearances were so well drawn even though you had so many to put in! (Also, Blindside Boy is in there too. Yay!) It feels so natural that this is the kind of song everyone would spontaneously appear for and dance to.
Epic? Really? =D Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it (and enjoyed Blindside Boy's cameo, even though he's so small).
Neopian Anomaly by lizica166
Just wonderful. You could really feel the song progressing here! Beautiful lighting and shading here, as well as those backgrounds! The crowd scene was awesome, and I very much enjoy the parachuting Techopalooza trio. :P
The lyrics together with the picture compositions were really well made, especially the intro accompanied by the dramatic panel. c:
Aw, thanks! I'm really glad you liked the shading, composition, and that dramatic intro panel. (I had fun with that panel. xD) And yay, I'm very happy you enjoyed the Techopalooza trio! =D
Ring of the Deep, part 7 ssjelitegirl
This was a great arc! I sort of wish it had lasted longer because I was enjoying it so much. (Will we actually get to see the “stories for another time” someday?) The overall idea was interesting, and I absolutely loved your portrayal of Faerieland. All the characters were wonderfully characterized, even the minor ones like the Kougra guards in part five. =D Anyway, thanks for all the laughs!
Musings: Edition 500 by _rascalz_
First off, the art in this is just adorable. <3 All the characters are very well drawn, and their expressions are just about perfect (I’m especially fond of their faces in the last panel). Also, I love how Duckie and her Weewoo hardly have to say a word to prove their point because his argument dissolves on its own.
Pun Police by dragonstorm_75
XDDDDDDDDDDD
That was so strange and unreal and HILARIOUS. (The rope and hook are so conveniently placed, too.) Anyway, that made me burst out laughing. Thank you. X3
Blah Blah -500 Issue Special- by highwind20
What a lovely guide! I might have to try out #497 sometime, just because it looks like such a blast. :D
Anyway, heeeeee, that was hilarious. xD Numbers 497 and 500 made me laugh aloud. Also, I like the backgrounds in this one; they really add to the emotions in each panel. And the wall of text in the last panel is fun to read, even if feeling Flameball’s pain is a bit painful. There, there, Flameball. I hope your Weewoo will console you. <3
Techopalooza: Petpet Troubles, Part 1 by desert_gp_dragon2oo5
I’m a little behind on reading the NT, but I went ahead and read the next two parts of this, just because I couldn’t wait to see what happened next. =D (And I love how you managed to include both Techopalooza and the Off Season in this single Tomamu series.) Your art is beautiful (no surprise there), and the last two panels’ backgrounds add a whole lot to the atmosphere--it made me laugh aloud. Anyway, anyway, this is great so far! =DDD I cannot wait to keep reading. (P.S. Also, I love the little noises the Tomamu makes. X3)
My Little Monster 4/6 by djudju22_8
Oh no! Danger at the cup! D: (I always knew that Techo was trouble.) I really like the establishing shots at the beginning of this one, and Mr. Spooked’s fall is also well-paced.
I just went ahead and finished reading this arc, and I love it! Everyone’s interactions seem really on the mark, and it was a great way for Mr. Spooked to be officially accepted. (And might I add that I just had to laugh when I saw him wearing sunglasses?) Also, in part six, I really love how the empty bleachers and trash add to the mood. You can tell that the game is over and the AC madness has finally calmed down. I feel like it really helps with the atmosphere of resolution. Anyway, this was a wonderful series. Keep it up, Djudju! ^_^
Talk About Random by buizelmaniac
I already commented on how much I love this on DA, but at the risk of repeating myself, this was awesome. 8D I love seeing all those NT characters together, and you drew all of them so well! (Thank you so much for including Kanepleke!) Plus, a random joke about fangirl rampages is hard not to love. ^^
Boulder Box by snackbox
I’m not so sure, I think the comic definitely passes in the “Bwahaha joke” category. =D
Anyway, I enjoyed this a lot! Its pacing is great and it was fun to read. ^^
Furs Place - Weewoes by pichu_pikachu_raichu
Aww, yay! ^^ This is so cute, and it doesn’t need dialogue to be enjoyable. The situation was set up well, and the Weewoos’ expressions in the first two panels just make me want to pick them up and give them a hug. <3
For Lack of a Better Idea - 3 of 4 by saro_the_legendaerie
WAVE OF SHINY RAINBOWY INSPIRATION, GO~! 8D
Hee hee, as before, your characters’ awareness of the fourth wall makes me happy. I would call the Inspiration “epic,” but Xemnas’s questioning of it is fitting and hilarious. xD This was SUCH a fun little series! I especially love the last line in part four. Nice one! ^^
Incoming Tax by elyk442
Heh, this makes way too much sense. xD
Your pixel work never fails to amaze me. (Even the 8-bit Kougra is so expressive and spot-on!) I like the green computer background, and the way the conversation continues even as the scene changes to the bank is very nicely done. Also, I hadn’t noticed this on my first reading, but I love seeing all those little details in the computery background! (Can I get a free carrot for reviewing instead?) ^_^
A Nerd, a Dork, and a Geek by almightywebmistress
... <3, just <3.
The progression through time is well done, and this is so sweet it makes my heart melt. Makes me want to go back to all those old issues I never read and go through them.
The floating Islanders - NT 500 by yankeesrule244444456
As I said before, this makes me want to eat chocolate cake. Really badly.
This comic is so strange and random and wonderful. xD And like a giant monster cake, 500 issues of the NT can be scary and daunting, but it’s best when put to its original use: Here, to be read (or eaten). =DDD
Amikarashui 500th NT Special by bluecloud300
Ouch. XD Poor Anveda! But still...he kind of was asking for it. I love the “paid for” joke, but I think my favorite part is the little Weewoo apparently innocently smashing the origami. That was just...adorable, hilarious, and terrifying, all at once! xD The understatedness of this comic is great. Thanks for making me laugh!
Team Squad Force: One of those times by lachtaube
That was hilarious! XDDD I crack up every time I read the “Wussy Punch” panel. The exaggerated quality of the art is wonderful and really tricks you into thinking the Petite Pulverizer is in real, deep trouble.*shot for horrible, horrible pun* Also, I love the poor villain Aisha. XD Anyway, this was great.
Team Squad Force: Makeover Edition! by ghostkomorichu
Ahahaha, that was awesome. XD The Fashionistor is such a fun villain, and the way he was defeated was really creative. I loved all the warped costumes, too! XP (Lieutenant Awesome’s first wardrobe change especially made me laugh the most.) This was so much fun to read!
Team Squad Force: Movie Night! by pacmanite
All of these are fantastic. <3 This has so many details and funny ideas throughout that I can’t help but laugh almost nonstop the whole way through. I especially love the Cinephile’s design, the idea of torture-by-bad-movie, the attack montage, and the potential fun of the four of them watching a bad movie together. Also, Blindside Boy’s “dirt” on his teammates makes me laugh so hard. xDDD
Team Squad Force: Feelin' the Heat! by fish_puddle
XDDDD I love the gradual descent into defeat here. (Holy boiling stew, Batman! But is it really defeat?) I think my favorite part of this is just Blindside Boy’s plan to attack like crazy, but the continual use of the super background makes me laugh as well. xD GO, TEAM SQUAD FORCE.
A Neo Look: at Reaching 500 by jewelia52
This is so cute! I love the way you’ve drawn the Poppit, and his use of the ink pen in a nice touch. Jaz is fun to watch in this one, and bonus points for the dollar-sign eyes! $o$
Chance of Rain - 500x by mizumew
Have I told you how much I love your art and character designs? Anyway, this comic is hilarious just for watching them play (even though I feel their pain D:). The grim determination followed by sore defeat is a fun combination, and I love watching their expressions change (or not change, in the case of panels one through four).
Just five more games, guys! You can do it!
