Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[ParoVadius RESET]

Loved it all

I loved the opening where it seemed to be a game but was probably more fun as a cartoon anyway. The music is also really unique and sets the tone well just during the credits. It is so great to see you using these sprites as they are so underused in general. The graphics and effects are flawless, especially with the way you show off fire and explosions. The dialogue by itself is also pretty funny. I really should have expected CATS to show up, but at least he got blown up and said, "Why me?".

[Dental Appointment]

I can't feel my roots!

This was quite a different cartoon from the flash geniuses that are Eddsworld. I really liked how everything went in this cartoon and how you could not predict what happened next. If that guy had seriously never been to the dentist before, I can understand that happening. I like the animation and how the little guns are drawn. It was also great to have HappyHarry as a guest and with Edd in only a brief cameo. The dentist was probably the best character in the whole thing, as he knew how to be prepared.

[Pick Up]

Lots of humor and action

I always thought that your work was a combination of Wogoat and Vinnie Veritas. As they have also made great cartoons, combining the two would only be awesome. It think it is funny how the title and everything is in a different language, but all the dialogue and sounds are in English. It is amazing how nothing but a blue cube can cause so much destruction. All the characters are fully animated in the best way possible (in every sense of the word). There were just so many things going on in every frame!

[Max worm]

Loved it all

I knew nothing nor had I even heard about the Worm series before, but this is definitley the best tribute to them. It reminded me of the "30 Second Bunnies" series in that it had things reinacted by a certain animal. The extra fun is watching all the fictional characters that make cameos (look out for Spider-Man in the beginning). I also love the worms' cute little voices, even when they swear. The little sheep that blow up and fly around are really cute too. It was really funny when they changed how they were drawn.

[Altered Reality]

It is a deep message

I was not even looking for something more poignant, but it did have an interesting message about the world of technology. Less sophisticated people can admire it simply for the great colors. I loved how some people had stuff focusing more on lines or on cleaner or grittier animation. What matters is that you are all expressing a standard story that can be told in so many different ways. The music is also great and works well to fit not just the overall story, but the specific scenes. I think my favorite might be MC-Booga.

[The White, The Black]

Black or white?

I never got into chess at all (it would just be too freaking hard for me), but I loved this because of the great animation. Everyone had their own style and their own color scheme. I suppose it was intended to have a deeper meaning to it like with moral tales or something. I love how everything in the flash just moves around and the colors contrast each other so well. The little black marks make it look really bad, even with color. It is also a good visualization on religous and political struggles in the Middle Ages.

[Mario Brothers - Part V]

The perfect ending

I was not that a big fan of the "Mario Brothers" series, but this cemented my place as a fan of yours. Apart from having great graphics (these are some of the lowest Mario graphics, but done so well) it had one of the best endings ever. While everyone dying might seem kind of morbid, it truly shows a philosophical aspect. Is this all that Mario is doomed to do and that we are doomed to do in these scenarios? Will nothing but vengeance and want for total destruction lead to our own demises? How nice of how to make this perfect conclusion only for Newgrounds.

[Animator vs. Animation]

A great character

I think that this cartoon did to flash animations what "Duck Amuck" did to regular animations. It gave the character in the cartoon a perfect way of interacting with his creator. What would happen if he did this or this or would he even have a personality at this point anyway? Even people unfamiliar with Flash can enjoy how there are just so many things to do with all the things on the side bars. I think the best part was probably when there were so many duplicates of him. It is also a great introduction to Flash at all.

[4Chan City >:3]

The essence of 4chan

I first saw this in a time where I knew little about 4chan at all. I know recognize it as showing up in nearly every online topic when people are talking about the origins of memes. It is great fun to just find out how many memes you can find. Yotsuba and the cat of course made great appearances and the music is flawless. Even the beginning credits are fun as you can just zoom in and look at the detail of the buildings and the words on them. I love the tons and tons of things that are going on here!

[Grandbunny Paradox]

Grenades!

I just love this submission and I think that it is one of the best stuff you ever made. I have always wondered about paradoxes and how they would play out in real life. While the alternate timeline theory is good, I think this is a truly original idea you came up with. The bunny is cute even when he is a sheep or when the stick figure is a tomato. I like the emotion put into their voices and how the actors seemed to really get into this. It was a different sort of submission from you, but it turned out to be my favorite.
