Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Xiao Xiao No. 3]

Some of the best stuff

I can see why this has been your most popular submission that was not a game. I thought it was very fun to watch and it holds up just as much today as it did all those years ago. It has been imitated so many times, it's cool to see where it all started! I could just watch this in slow motion the entire time. Not to mention the fact that the music is really cool and memorable as well. It is a bit too bad it has been such a long time since an artist as celebrated as you has made something.

At least you tried

I could tell there was some effort put into this, as there was definitley more things going on than the usual low rated flash. My suggestions to you are that you should make a background. My other big one is to make sure it does not loop at the end with that annoying static sound. Stick figures are fine to use, but they need to be used in a more original matter. The laughing was pretty funny and I did like the white stick figure joke. Just work on length and more original ideas.

[KOF vs DBZ]

Love the design

I thought it was kind of strange how you praised some sprite animators when this did not even use sprites in the conventional sense. While the sprites you use will take some getting used to, they are still done in a really awesome way. Seeing all the sprite stuff out here, I am glad people are always finding original material. I am not that familiar with the KOF characters. That did not stop this from being purely awesome, because of how the fight scenes are so authentic. I enjoyed the mindlessness of this very much.

[Lucky Day Forever-trailer]

Great trailer

I am quite eager to see this in its fullest form, due to the fact that it does not give off a story. I mean, everything just seems so unorganized, I wait in antipication to see how it comes together. The animation in this is simply gorgeous, such as the way the characters seem to jut out from the backgrounds. Sure, it helps there's a bunch of big breasts around for no reason. This is obviously a great metaphor for life, and a wonderful premise for a story. I love all the hidden depth you put in that I may see later.

[AHTM3 Trailer: Kill Billy]

As zany as ever

This is one of my favorite entries in the Arfenhouse series and one of my favorite trailers on this website! It of course is great that you make this more of a cartoon than a trailer. I really like how the more skilled animated characters contrast with the goofy looking other characters. Pringles make great characters, might I add. This has all the jokes a series needs, and is sort of like an animutation that has a story or at least some story structure. Surreal stuff has always interested me.

[House of 1000 Cats]

Happy Pico Day!

This is one of my favorite Pico Day submissions for 2008, as it has some of the best action out there. The animation is just gorgeous and it makes it look like some really artsy anime or something. It was also great how you showed the origin of the kitty crew and why they are so vicious. You manage to put real emotion into your characters and not just express them through action scenes. It is a good metaphor for what goes on in Newgrounds. I think it was the first time I saw a penicorn in a Newgrounds cartoon.

[LF2 - Julian War Ch.4]

Best in the series

I could not really get into this series that much, but I believe this is the best out there! It is the longest, and does not go for the short cartoon idea. I guess I may be too much of a big fan of "Super Mario Bros. Z" too much, as I was expecting more action. The action scenes you had were great, especially with the monster at the beginning. I may not be able to get into these characters that much, but I am quite interested by this. I enjoyed the dialogue and it reminded me of TTA, which I was in.
