Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

[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.

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.

['Rageous 7]

Happy belated Robot Day!

I knew it was only a matter of time before great Newgrounds artists like Luis would work on this. It is a collab unlike any that I have ever seen. I believe that this is in fact the first ever Robot Day we have had, so that suits it quite well. I love this because it just does not seem to know what its emotional theme is. It is not really action driven but I guess more animation driven with all the things just moving around everywhere. It was especially weird to see some human women dancing around.

[Whats ure heaven like????]

It was kind of cute

I have to excuse the cheesy animation because this submission is almost a decade old. I almost thought that you were trying to ask the audience what they thought of Heaven. It is good that there have been so many innovations in flash since then, as this could use a lot of work. The final punchline was a bit predictable and not that creative. I think this one's heart is in the right place, but it needed to have more effort put into it. For being something that had such low quality though, I did like the voices.

[Rise of the brotherhood 2]

That was great

While not as good as the third part, this was still a true work of art. I think that this may in fact be the best Tails that I have ever seen in a Newgrounds flash and I have seen many. I love his voice, and the Aladdin reference was really funny. He really is a character who takes charge of himself and always does what he thinks is best. The introduction of Sheathe was really cool and he is obviously a great character too. While a little too talky, the great voice acting really draws you in in addition to great action.
