This has a much higher score than it should...

I can't understand why this series has a score so soundly in the mid 3's. It seems like its vastly overrated to me.

The graphics are very basic, and not anything that hasn't been done countless times before. It's basically just stick figures. Most of the "attacks" just look like a few random scribbles or ovals in different colors.

The comic book idea could have some potential, I suppose, if done perfectly right. But the lack of animation in this movie really hurts it. In the next one, episode 13, the scene starts looking at the sun, then a shifts in a few jumpy frames to the ground. It's really not that much more effort to just put a motion tween in there, and the result would look loads better. I mean, if you look at a comic book, you wouldn't see five different panels moving the view from the sky to ground. If you go for that style, you have to make every frame interesting and important, the way you did the "animation" here just looks horrible.

It's certainly not funny in the slightest, and the story is kind of predictable and boring. It could use some sound effects, more than just the little tune that plays at the beginning.

Meh, that's just my opinion though...

Thanx for your opinion. I don't know why it's scored so high either, it's just one of those mysteries of Newgrounds. I should probably explain about the animation. My very first flash movie was about Kashinnu. The graphics were very lacking and the animation was as few as this. It was for that reason i think that my friends liked it. So, for some strange reason, i wanted to experiment with music in flash, and i had some music that i thought would fit in perfeclty with Kashinnu. So i made this series. And keeping in style with the original i gave it the old frame rate and DBZ style storyline. I can animate fully but it does take up alot my time which i cant spare. I'm currently trying my luck with a different cartoon. It might be put up if all goes well.
