Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Scaramush! Scaramush!]

Definitley your best work

"Bohemain Rhapsody" remains my favorite song of all time and it is one of the most remixed non-meme (?) songs ever made! When I was listening to BR for the first time, I was thinking as though it was part of an opera. You obviously utilized that idea in the best way imaginable. The cartoon is just so amazingly artsy it seems that you should be making more stuff this way. I loved seeing all the different colors, and the little waving motions and how everything was just so beautiful. It helps that this is even my favorite part of the song.

AlmightyHans responds:

it seems that me and you were exactly on the same page when we both heard this awesome song for the first time. You took the words right out of my mouth my friend :)

[Megaman's Anniversary]

Done for a collab?

This is one of the best Mega Man flashes I have seen on Newgrounds due to the fact that it is one of the most well animated. And of course the original Japanese sounds used are completely flawless. I loved the designs of everybody and how it did seem just like something that would show up in a Mega Man OVA. It is a great tribute to such a popular characer as it is his anniversary. I love how happy he gets wiping through the enemies easily. I think I am a bit more glad this was not as part of a collab, as it is so good in its own right.

[Ambush!]

Adorable!

I fell in love with this flash years ago, and I am still in love with it today! It is amazing how you managed to put such great fight scenes together, but made it among the cutest things I have ever seen in a flash like this! I never played the Kirby games, but these tributes are awesome. The artwork is so good it seems like something that would be in a Kirby OVA. You have tons of talent and are great at angles and everything! I love the unique designs of all the creatures and how they move and fight.

[Broken Clocks]

One of the best ever!

I loved watching this if only because it was so great to hear the clocks actually talk for the first time! It seemed only fitting that someone would make a parody of "Broken Saints". It is perhaps the longest cartoon in total on Newgrounds, so you would think there would be more parodies. Everyone's voice is great, and when in doubt, use the Banananphone joke. I also love how it takes it time to transform into a comedy. It really does make me think this would happen if the Clock characters became actors.

[Conflict of Colors]

Nice color

I was quite impressed by the animation, especially for something that has such a low rating. I think the title is appropriate because it is just what happens in the cartoon. The thing that really weighs this down is that there is no sound or music at all. It would have been better to at least put in some sound effects. It does not help that there is also a lot of disorganization that makes it hard to follow. Most cartoons that are like that work for me because they have awesome action scenes, which this did not have.

[Clichetivity]

True, true

It makes me think about all of the common plot devices used in Newgrounds animations, which I would certainly be familiar with after all these reviews. Some of them, however, even seemed new to me. It really reminds me of the website TVTropes where really all of these things could be considered tropes. Tropes are, however, not cliches and are defined more as plot devices or stock ideas. Even with that, this was still a really funny thing to watch. I am surprised that you forgot a blank white background.

[Toads Adventure 6]

Again delete?

I find it sad that you want to delete these cartoons as they seem decent to me. If you are looking for making a new version of this series, that would be fantastic. My biggest complaint with this is that the characters just look too elongated. I think it might have been because this was not put in the right file size and you can change that. I liked how this was simply so insane with every character coming everywhere. I am glad that I am more familiar with the series as I saw a part that came before this.

TheFlipEffect responds:

Thank you, I appreciate your words. The reason I want them deleted is that I want to remake them, but have parts combined. Like my latest one is Toads Adventure Chronicles (TA Chronicles.1) Which is Toad's Adventure 1, 2 & 3 recreated and put into the one cartoon. I also want to add a range of new characters and have the story make a little more sence, but keep the 'What's Gonna Happen Next' moments, and also I need to improve the animation.

Again, thanks for the words and review.

[Wild West Quickdraw]

Too simple

This is not that good of a submission, mostly because it has so few things in it. I guess this was supposed to be an early work, but there are so many things to improve on. You really needed some music, especially considering there was no dialogue. There is really no action at all except for the very end with the explosion. The explosion was probably the best part; this really needs better work with animation and coloring effects. The story is not terrible but the artwork just looks very shabby.

[Larry King Live]

So stupid and funny

Woah, this has got to be one of the most stupidly funny things I have ever seen on Newgrounds. I just love how cheesy the animation is and how stupid the characters look. I can just listen to this all day because of how funny it is for Larry King to say dumb things. There was not much satire, just a ton of really childish gags which worked well for me. I especially love the sound of the farts and how he says, "sheet". This seems like the new style and animation that the Clock Crew would use.

[What Would You Do??]

That's my life!

I have no idea why, but you must have read my mind because I do this sort of thing all the time! I guess I do it not as much now that I am older and it seems kind of childish. It did seem a little disappointing, but got so much better! I find myself asking people silly questions like this all the time such as, "What would you do if kitty cats could fly?". I soooo wish that I could have been used as a voice for this. If you are planning on making another one, I will definitley be the first one to send you a clip, as soon as I can use my microphone.
