Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[just2pale Halloween]

I was confused by the title. I mean, I know it was Thanksgiving. You gave me just what I wanted! Then again, it was too short. I liked how the turkey was done in a different style. The animation was good.

I just wanted more to happen. I appreciate the voices too. It's just not much for an entire cartoon. It's still just okay. Uh, happy whatever holiday you read this at!

If I remember this was a last minute animation done in a day... as it looks it. :p

[Herbert and the Mountain]

I was confused as to why there were two cartoons in this. I thought the second one was pretty weak. The first one was much better. I guess I just love the bit about the guy wanting to be a woman. The animation was better. I liked how big the heads were.

Seriously, those guys had no necks. I assume the second was a LOTR parody. Those were getting pretty old. The animation was still pretty good. It's just nothing that memorable.

[CU-Thanksgiving Special]

It's always great to see Thanksgiving stuff. It's also great that we get to see the main College University characters again. Kung Fu Karl has taken over the series now with his spinoff. Well, the original series doesn't really exist anymore. I still love how lighthearted this is. We can always use more Pilgrims.

It's just funny to see all these pop culture references show up. They even acknowledge that they don't make any sense. What matters is that this is a quaint little cartoon. The animation is pretty good. A little too short, though.

[MyTribute to DoubleDragon]

I found this to be just okay. What I didn't like was the animation. I wish you'd always used sprites. It just looked too weird. It is kind of strange how you also gave it a story. When I see "tribute" I don't think of that.

I guess it was unexpected at least. It's kind of fun. Was that "Metal Gear" music? Maybe if I was a fan of "Double Dragon", I'd like it more. Then again, I loved that Abobo game here.

[The Megaman Collab]

Hey, this was the first thing Kirbopher worked on with someone else and was billed! Sorry, Kirbopher's my favorite author here. The sprite work was fantastic. I know I've heard this song before. It was great to read the English lyrics. It was also great to read the Japanese lyrics!

This was just so flashy. There was so much going on. It's hard to tell which was the best part. I think it's because sprites don't look that much different from each other. You are all quite talented artists.

[The New Guy]

I certainly wasn't expecting that! As I've had a job for a long time, I know what it's like being the new guy. Well, this was completely cool. The voices and animation were great. It's a bit too long, but still a lot of fun.

I just love seeing robots blow stuff up. The style was so unique. Anyone can associate with office humor. We also all like robot fights. I like dinosaurs too.

[Donaji & the Magical Poncho]

I really loved the animation in this! My only complaint is that it was kind of sappy with the story. I mean, she just wears the thing and is protected. Of course, this is apparently base on some mythology. I wish I was more familiar with it. I appreciate the great artwork.

Yeah, I don't understand most of the Spanish. That always makes me feel bad about my work in High School. Well, I felt this worked well for how long it was. You have to keep up the viewer's interest that long. The colors are so wonderfully bright too.

Shi-Gu responds:

Thankyou!
I do agree, story could have had a bigger developement. I wrote it 6 years ago as a folkloric tale for highschool, and it was pretty simple. Heroine obtains magic object, villain fools her to relinquish it. Hero comes and save the victim, lesson learned, happy ending.
It is loosely based on mesoamerican mythologies, but I took many liberties with it.

I would love to get into more depth with it, but I rather continue the story in the webcomic and make a more complex work there.

[weebl and bob - gothic]

The funniest part was probably when the girl with the giant boot came out. I am kind of curious as to how he would mistake them for clowns. Well clowns can be goths. He seemed pretty dark in that attire. I can actually understand these guys. They talk normal, but it's mumbled.

Well, they say what's being said in the balloons, but it's just loosely. Their voices are pretty funny. I can always appreciate something new from these characters. Those toys look nice.

[Cosmo n Jest Skate Collab]

That was rather strange. I thought Cosmoseth had the best part. It's probably because the animation was slicker. I am still confused by how short it was. I was just expecting more. I like the music well enough.

It just wasn't that unique. Still, there was nothing wrong with it. I guess there aren't many skateboarding things out there. It was kind of fun. It just wasn't too memorable.

[Star Crap Episode3 (2/2)]

This was better than the original. I still wouldn't go so far as to recommend it. The animation still looks off. You definitely got better jokes here. I especially loved the Dragonball Z references. I'm just a sucker for that stuff.

I think most of us are. It was pretty faithful to the movie. Well, you got the scenes right is what I mean. I recognize those logos. It's weird you would use that in a movie. Happy "Star Wars" sequels, I guess!
