"It's a wonderful day in the neighborhood..."
This animation rocks. The song was awesome, the animation was awesome, the timing was awesome, and just the general screenwriting/script was awesome. I had put off watching this for some time because to be honest, when I first saw its thumbnail, I thought it would be just some silly animation about a superhero deathmatch or something (no offense meant to anyone). I have made a few music videos before (in Adobe Premier, but still) so I can appreciate the time this must have taken to get it right. Keep up the awesome work!
I have never played any Final Fantasy game in my life and I am not particularly an MJ fan, but I liked the spoof. One of my favorite types of videos/songs. Keep it up, there is a host of other spoofs just waiting to be made. My only complaint is that this, like other videos using FMV from the games, was a tad pixelated, but I can understand why. And thanks for the subtitles, by the way. The sound was a bit distorted (not much), so they helped. And the lyrics were neat also. One thing I would suggest is that you add a play button next time, so the video doesn't suddenly jump into the song after it finishes loading.
Seriously, this flash is awesome. It has a 9.15 (at the time of reviewing). Why you would want to take it down is beyond me, but everyone has their reasons I guess. Good thing for everyone that likes this flash is that anything with a 9+ overall score will probably be up for some time longer. ;) Keep it up. If you think this flash is bad for some reason, I'd really like to see your favorites.
Overall a good show, but clicking the forward arrows every few seconds got kind of old. I understand why you made it that way, but maybe next animation could have the option to play through automatically unassisted. However, it was a neat crossover idea (I don't watch Big Brother or play Final Fantasy...).
Yet another neat job in animation. I don't play Final Fantasy, but I can take a pretty good stab (Black Mage would be proud lol) at the humor points. Nice, and keep up the talent, in whatever you animate.
Excellent. Simply excellent. While this final episode skimps on a storyline unlike some of the earlier ones, the graphics and sound more than make up for it. I have never played ANY of the FF games in any way, shape, or form, but I have enjoyed these 5 episodes quite a bit.
Quite intriguing...yet another excellent storyline
What can I say that anyone who has seen Max and Steven's animations doesn't know already? You guys write great stories, intriguing animations, and multi faceted characters. And this one is yet another great animation to add to your list. Keep it up, guys, and I look forward to the next episode.
Great idea, too bad you don't plan to make it into a full story. I'd certainly watch it if it would be anything like the trailer. Keep it up, it achieved what I think you intended.

Why do you want this taken down?

Fine, but a few things could have been better.

Funny, and I don't even play Final Fantasy.

nice...short, sweet, and scary
Really awesome animation man. It doesn't drop you at all. Great graphics and animation on the zombies and breathing.
