Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Saigo No Shigoto]

One of your best!

I am quite surprised this does not have a higher score as it is truly great! I could of course tell that you were heavily influenced by "TheFinal Task" one of our classics. While this may not get that popular, it is definitley worth checking out because of the great animation. I would have been satisifed if it had simply stopped with the first fight! The artwork was beautiful, especially the fight scenes with how the blood got on the sword and everything. It has everything you could want in a ninja cartoon.

i noticed u've been watching my work. thanks for ur support. i'll admit.. this isnt my greatest work. it was in fact rushed. but even if a few viewers still appreciate what i do, newgrounds isnt the place it once was.

[In the Morning...]

Alright

I thought this was alright, but I could not help thinking you were imitating Eddsworld. That is not to say that you can not let other people be a major influence. I really had mixed emotions about the animation. It seemed generally mediocre, but there were times when it had good effects, especially with how the eyes change shape. Some of the jokes were pretty funny, if quite random. With some more work in delivery and effects, I am sure you could make better stuff here.

[What the **** Collab]

Ha ha ha!

I guess it is kind of fun to know that lesser known people here are getting together to work on this collab. It really did have more variety than I thought it would. I like how you just randomly throw in the forest animation in style of Adam Philips. It has no point for being there, only because it is fun to look at. Admittedly, some of the jokes did get a bit repetitive, but they were not extremely annoying. There could have also been a bit more action in this collab, which is what a lot of people look for in stick stuff.

Happy belated Halloween!

This was pretty fun to watch mostly because it does not even look like it was made in Flash. It seriously starts to look more like something you would see at a more professional website. Still, it is weakened by how short it is. I just see so much potential because the floating Buddha head or whatever it is is pretty creepy. It was nice of you to put in the secret movie and the other secret. It is also nice to see the head take the place of the Newgrounds logo in the intro and show the background with it.

[1000 hits!]

Pretty mediocre

I liked how you put some music in as opposed to a lot of other stuff that does not bother at all. I am glad you got so many hits/views on Deviantart, even if that might not be much by high standards. You at least have some talent in making flash as this had its good points. I liked how some of the features contrasted with each other, like the background and you in the cartoon. As this is not a popular submission, I can understand why nobody would come. Just add in better designs next time.

The depth is nice

I know that this was not intended to be anything that artsy, so I will not try to analyze that much. The ending music (how it loops) is kind of annoying, though. It is always interesting to experiment with shading and light effects. It could have used better effects in itself of course. It is fine for a quick watch as the music is nice and the little strings (or lines) do sync up well. I like how they changed colors and showed you were not just doing the same thing over and over. Working with simple patterns is always nice.

[Vice Faction: Episode 14]

Not too bad

The weakest point of this is probably the animation and how it does look kind of cheesy. However, it was great of you to include all of those voices. The best part might be the overview of the school at first, especially how it has the best animation. It does not need to have a lot of action, just a pretty interesting real life story. I can tell that it is an early production of yours (first with lip sync) so it must be great to have so many people willing to help. The characters do not seem particularly bad or poorly developed.

[Special Episode for Fans]

Great tribute!

I think it is rather funny how you are not a big Star Wars fan, but this is just really good! I think the best points are how good the animation is, especially with how much depth the stick figures have. The intro is great as a tribute to the series in itself. I love how the lightsabers move and everything not to mention there is some seriously well done voice work! You can never go wrong with using the original music. The description at the beginning was pretty slow, but you can at least skip it.

[4 Odd Planets]

Nice music

I think the weakest point in this what that there should have been some more action. Now, I do know that there are many great works of art that do not need action at all. I guess I just thought it was strange because it involved entire planets moving. The best part was probably how good the animation was, with how little was there. Some of the humor was pretty good, especially with the burning of the cross. It did have its unique points such as the celestial bodies talking and always saying "f*ck" in that exact spelling.
