Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Zelda: UO Epis:6]

The best of Link

I think what makes this series so strong is that it may have the best Link (and cast) I have ever seen. He has a great voice that truly suits his personality and the situations that he is in. I think the thing that works the most is the lack of sprite animation. It does not take a genius to realize it is easy to make fun of Tingle. I think he's actually funny in this as opposed to most people saying he's an annoying character. There are just so many laughs and awesome action scenes that never stop.

[Madness Wootification]

Love it all

Yes, it was indeed very demented, but that is exactly what we reviewers look for when looking for Madness tributes. It helps that that is probably the best music ever used in the entire series you got there. The deaths themselves are very creative. I think my favorite is where one guy has a blowtorch and the protagonist shoots through the door and sets him on fire. Another good one is when the one guy is bleeding and the protagonist decides to just let him live (or suffer). I swear one of the signs said, "Alpha-Nova".

[The FLF Collab]

It appears to be so unrelated

When it starts off, it seems like it is not about anything related at all, as it is quite random. I should have known that this would introduce me to an entirely new song and band. There was just so much great stuff it was hard to keep up with it all. I loved the rocket that was firing down, when the guy's arms were wiggling, etc. Users like YoinK and doomshock have contributed to this site so much it is great they are all working on something so good. It was also funny to see Pac-Man shift through arts, too.

THANKSSSSSS< I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GunChest Episode 01_01]

Only one remains

Well, this is a very long running series that eventually ended, so it is great to see where it all starts. I guess I do enjoy watching this more than the, um, update. I guess it just has an effect because it introduces you into such an awesome world. This series still seemed to have lasted too short for its own good. You put surrealism in it by making it start with 2D stuff and then switching to action in a CGI-like animation. It shows that you can work with different styles that blend together well.

[Entanglement]

No point indeed!

It is kind of weird how it looks like it is going to be a big collab at first, but it was only made by two people! I was surprised you even managed to talk about a plot in the author's comments! Every second of this, there is just something amazing going on. I love how the guy makes everything negative and disappears with the timer on. Another funny moment is when the purple guy still puts up a fight with a sword and half his body. The sounds are all great and authentic as well and this shows that stick stuff will never die.

[Outlaw pt.1]

Glad it won Daily Feature

This is a great animation because the animation is so perfect. It seemed at first like you were trying to copy anime, but you really did make a style that was unique to your own! How many flashes begin with the main character being shot and then simply taking it from there on? I think it really analyzes what it would be like for a person to die. Would they just be in darkness and look at their own bodies at first? I also love how the demon monster just gets shot and is not affected and does not care.

[Turing Test]

Surprisingly great!

I was not interested by this much as it was just a guy communicating with a robot in a rather mundane way (especially for a robot). It definitley got better as it went on and it helps that the animation is so good. The tone is really creepy and sets the atmosphere well. This reminds me of a Creepypasta, but turned into a flash cartoon. It ends so well, you simply have no idea what is going on and probably never will. A really mysterious factor is a great way to make something scary and few flashes here do scare me.

Jimtopia responds:

It's cool to know I made a flash that actually freaks people out. Thanks for the review.

[Robot Dancers]

Robot dancers!

I love this cartoon, because it pretty much sums up everything that is cool about robots. It reminds me of a song by "Flight Of The Conchords" about robots taking over the Earth. The strongest point is probably the animation, and I love the lack of lines. It is creative and maybe a little disturbing to see a robot showing its butt off like that. While there was not much action, it was certainly nice when it was there at least. I think my favorite part might have been when the ship was crashing and dancing.

[Pico Fucks With Machines]

Don't do it!

I really have to praise you for managing to combine two holidays at the same time! I can not decide if this would have worked better as a Robot Day or Pico Day flash. What is awesome is that the animation is as surreal and insane as anything else. I loved how the robot just ran around and shot Pico simply because it was annoyed. It is the same surrealistic humor and style that makes you one of my favorite authors here. While it was short, it caught its clear message (simply don't f*ck with machines) quite clearly.

[Vinnie The Chik Costello]

Recommendable

It has been the longest time since I watched something submitted by flashcartoons.org. Anyway, I thought the best point of this was the voice work. I sincerely thought that you were just using stock sounds from some old cartoon in the beginning! It reminded me a lot of "Looney Tunes" and classic stuff like that. I was kind of disappointed that there was not a lot of real slapstick involved. I still enjoyed this because Vinnie is such a great character as he sets his personality so clearly.

I was hesitant to upload this to NG, most of the users here like perverted stuff which I stopped making. I try to animate for family audiences with clean humor. A good example is the past few winners, cock jokes, boobs, overall rude humor which is made for preteens who laugh at it. I wont go back to that, I've grown up. My overall goal is to animate like they did in the past, all traditional, that is my dream. Thanks for the comment.
