Nightmare City - Flash Rawk
Clairvoyance, the Japanese animation studio, has released a new Flash short, 
titled ‘Nightmare City: Catastrophe,’ to coincide with the recent Flashbomb event in Tokyo. It’s a follow-up to their ‘Nightmare City’ short from last year’s Flashbomb event, and it surely doesn’t disappoint. The special effects alone are worth the watch, and for those of you looking to create your next short, consider the rock-laden musical montage. Think about it - no lip sync.
Thanks to the Gil Crows website for the link.

These films are made of WIN and GOD in a highly concentrated form. I’m really glad that the first was finally released with English because I was dying to know what was being said.

THIS SHOW IS GREAT IT”S PACE IS AWSOME YOU SHOULD MAAKE LOTS OF EPISODES LIKE NARUTO”S SHOW (but the thing i just watched is more than 100 times better)
June 5th, 2006 at 3:25 am
Wow, very impressive, I can’t say I’ve seen better. One thing that you might want to add to “nc_catastrophe” is subtitles. Good Job.

It lacked a storyline, but it was still intense. The creator of this movie could have an excellent career ahead of them. Keep ‘em comin!
August 24th, 2006 at 8:26 pm
O.O This flash is incredible. If anyone says different they probably havent seen it
August 24th, 2006 at 11:46 pm
You know Wikipeda doesn’t have an article about Nightmare City? I guess because nobody freaking understand any of this stuff. It’s awesome in itself, how this couple of movies can be so great even when the viewer has no idea what’s going on or why.
Of course the work is technically impeccable, but beyond that it has a story, and impregnable as it is, I really really like it.
August 25th, 2006 at 6:40 pm
hmm Jenny i understood what the whole movie was about even though it was kinda random
and yes someone should make a wiki article on these movies..
August 27th, 2006 at 4:54 pm
Argubly the best flash ever created.
August 29th, 2006 at 10:36 pm
where is the english version i must see it noooooow
August 29th, 2006 at 11:12 pm
i say the parody is just as good as the real
November 25th, 2006 at 8:18 pm
I had watched the movie a few months back,8/16/2006 06:41:58 PM to be exact,and I had the song stuck in my head for the entire time! It’s catchy! After that comment, I watched Nightmare City 1, and I finally got enough info on the story, I watched it again and again! The first time I watched it, the song alone put me in such a good mood, I thought I went insane! (I mean that in a good way.) MAKE A 3rd! MAKE A 3rd! MAKE A 3rd! MAKE A 3rd!

QFT.
I tried making a wiki article about it, but it got deleted for shortness and my inability to use html.

Don’t take this wrong way. I’m an animator.
The animation was lacking where it really needed to be smoother (when things were moving fast). Also, the plot is very disjointed and hard to follow. There are too many characters that seem important, but have no important parts, leaving the presentation without focus.
It pains me to see nice artwork animated at low framerates, and/or with the whole “anime floating” thing going on. It’s kinda lazy. Actually animating the character is much more impressive.
There’s potential here…
