Okay, I'm a new fan of few months now and after seeing that remake, I really anticipate the rest of the remade SMBZ episodes but enough of that, it's time to cut to the chase

1. Cool, although I wonder just what will Mecha Sonic's eventual Super Transformation look like.

2. I'm really divided on this one. I mean, while I did like the humor and the action sequences, I can kind of agree that the episode was too long as well as the fact that that Deus ex Machina moment kind of felt like that it was tacked on at the last minute.

3. I can agree that while Basilisx was awesome (I mean he kicked Mario's butt really hard), he was kind of tacked on as well, not to mention having a clichéd motive.

So all in all, I highly anticipate the day that you return to sprite animation but I have more important things to worry about like school, looking up on TV Tropes, and waiting for the release of the 4th and 5th Campaigns from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure All-Star Battle and Saint Seiya: Brave Soldiers, so until then, see you later!

Captain Basilisx will not be in SMBZ?

Alberto66 2013-10-07 16:53:33

In SMBZ will be all Sonic and Shadow?

While I'm overjoyed to have in interested in the series again, I have to disagree with the judgment on Basilisx. In a series with a lot of interesting and fun takes on classic characters, he was a fresh face with fun motivation. Part of the idea that he came out of nowhere added to a.) the humor inherent in his back story and b.) along with the idea of that's how this sort of thing works in a series where you've basically got a bunch of indestructible god beings running around stomping foot soldiers like dirt clods, eventually one of those dirt clods would turn out to be a rock with a nail in it.

Overall, I like that you're looking at the series in any light at all, I just wanted to let you know about my overall love for the Basilisx character. What ever ye decide is definitely f or the best, just something I wanted to let you know.

Thanks for being an awesome animator!

Whatever you do, I just hope YOU enjoy it! I'm very happy I kept you as a favorite!

Even if you rebuild the SMBZ series from the ground up you have the full support from your fans who have been watching your old episodes all the time

gamerso1990 2013-10-08 13:09:31

Wow that's fantastic news! I saw the fan animation Kickstarter page ( I donated) and hoped it was a sign for good news to come. Then out of curiosity I came to check your page and to see you start up is amazing. You have my full support!

JohnTheHedgechidna 2013-10-08 16:06:36

I can see dual sides of this. It'll be great to see you continue this since a good bit of people (myself included) despise it when someone quits making a series and I hope before you restart you can find the time and dedication to finish the series.
I would enjoy this change in the series, mostly because I found the story to just be the weakest part of SMBZ. The scenes were well done, the dialogue seemed to fit the characters, the fights were good, but it truly lacked the story to help back everything up.
The judgement of replacing Metal Sonic for Metallix I would have to agree on. But instead of Metallix I feel one of the other Metal Sonic models (like from the Archie Comics) would possibly do better as an upgrade rather than Metallix because of how different he is to Metal Sonic.
As for Basilisk I would say keep him, but fix what you lacked: building him up. Add more to the character that wasn't there before-hand.

A friend of mine sent me a link to this news post. I decided to sign into Newgrounds for the first time in years just to voice my support. I was a huge fan back then, and I'd be a huge fan now. That scene remake was fantastic! Whatever it is you decide, I wish you the best!

kvenom 2013-10-10 13:54:23

God, it's AWESOME to have you back! This animation looks good enough for me to hope for the PROPER finish of the saga. But, after your statements I have a questions:

1.Will Metallix have a Perfect form? And if he will, how it's gonna look?
2.Pipe maze was one awesome epizode. Even thought it was a filler. If you are gonna remove it, then maybe you shall replace it with something more better..... What will it be?
3.Cap is one nice character. By removing him, you will kinda scrap the Omega Doomship original invasion scenario. What's gonna be a replacement for all of that?
4.(My own) Some fans were asking about appearence of other characters, like Silver or Geno. Is anything like this gonna happen?

Hope, I was not too irritating. Welcome back.)

Glad to hear you might get back in action. I enjoyed the remake, can't really wait to see more!

ReaperSound 2013-10-11 23:15:46

Your videos as of date are legendary. And I will add onto the support of the rest as I hope you do what you are saying. In light of it all I have tried animation myself an inspiration to start using flash by you and proxicide. I am hoping to make an animated graphic novel in that sense using the program. I can hope to be a fraction as good as what you can do with animation. I'd love to see more of what you can do and would love to see what the future holds for the series.

Good luck to you and all the best.

Lianca 2013-10-11 22:37:02

So glad you're back! You did such an amazing job with the practice thing. But don't try to rush it. Don't feel pressured to do this series. Remember, this is really about what YOU want, not what other people want. Take your time, you should enjoy what you do, not feel like it's a chore. After all, it's your life, so do what you want. I just don't want you to feel like you absolutely HAVE to do this. I'm really glad that you might start smbz again. I love the series, and have been hoping it would start up again. It's been over a year now since episode 9 came out. Lots of people tried to continue the series, but to be honest nobody can do it like you. You have such great talent, and you do a terrific job! Keep up the good work!

Also, if you need funds, you could just ask for 50 cents or so from your fans. If everyone gave 50 cents or even a dollar, you'd have more than enough money. After all, you have a LOT of fans!

Holy shit this is epic. Great job on the remake of the first scene! By the way, Captain Basilisx is the only character cut our for the remake right? And Fire Sonic will be in it? Because Fire Sonic is one of my favorite fan character! :D

giozir1 2013-10-13 08:18:25

Hello! I have a few questions can you answer it?
1. Will "Fire Sonic" be in SMBZ
2. Can you tell me Basic information about "Metallix"

giozir1 2013-10-13 08:22:11

P.s The blue Chaos Emerald must fall on ground while Mechasonic's Transformation, because of wind

Neod4000 2013-10-13 14:15:18

This is exciting! I look forward to these remakes (provisionally should they get made).
It's not really my place to say, but two big things that date badly are use of Comic Sans MS font for text and the internet memes and fart gags that crop up sometimes. Strongest episode definitely ep.6 cos of the focus on action.

Neod4000 2013-10-13 14:19:04

Also, the use of gradients for shading on the close-up is a bit 2006. I'd steer clear of the non-sprite close-ups more generally too, it's a teeny bit jarring visually (considering the style you're going for). Looking good otherwise though!
