Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Going viral is stressful.]

When I first saw this, it didn't look very good. I mean, the setup seemed quite cheap. I appreciate the message that it's sending. I thought it would be something really cynical at first. It had a pretty goofy layout. It actually did send an interesting message.

I'm glad to know it's royalty free. Yeah, YouTube was founded a long time ago. I've been online ever since it was first created. That dates a lot of us. He died at literally the last second.

[facu's lythero animation]

That was pretty funny, although it was weird how it changed halfway. That was a pretty entertaining intermission, though. The best part was the opening with Rouge. That's a great Dr. Claw impression. About 15 seconds in, I knew it was something recorded from a game. I just assumed it was OneyPlays.

It turned out to be someone entirely new. It's great to be introduced to new people. That title just looks so weird. The animation seems to be intentionally bad. It's good for some silly laughs.

SomeApe responds:

Its not intentionally bad T_T

[[Castle Crashers OVA] Blacksmith ni Aimasho]

Wow, I was initially tired of these cartoons, but realized how awesome this is! This actually is quite unique for the series. I believe these use real Japanese. The best part was how unique the design was. Well, the costume, I guess. The scratches made him look really cool.

The antlers were a nice touch as well. There's so many knights it can be hard to keep up with them! It has a lot going on for something so short. These are always so authentic. They work so well with each other.

[WHAT IF THEY HAD SMARTPHONES IN ONE PIECE?]

This was a very bizarre cartoon, but also a fairly entertaining one! The art seemed to shift. That's rather impressive given that it's animated by one person. Right? Anyway, the animation of any kind was so lush in this. Everything blended together perfectly.

Any non "One Piece" fan should love this. I've seen some of it. It's just hard to keep up with a series that's been going on for so long. I still recognize the characters. It was great for a short cartoon.

[Rats are free]

That was a pretty nice little cartoon. I just had no idea what the rat would do. I mean, if I was a rat, I'd probably try to get out too. Not the explosion thing, though. The animation was pretty strong in this one. I wasn't expecting that explosion.

That was probably the best part. It could be a bit longer, though. It's weird how I missed this. Well, stuff gets higher scores all the time. You do a lot with just a rat.

[UR FRENZONED]

Wow, I've never seen these characters before. I do wish there was a way of pausing the video. It reminds me of old videos like that. It isn't really a good thing. The sounds could get annoying. It's still nice and wacky.

I do feel sorry for gray guy. Friendzoning is always annoying. It's amazing how fast paced this is. It's still worth checking out. I love the baby line. More guys should say stuff like that.

[GHOUL GANG]

I thought this was a pretty good cartoon. I feel bad for making the score lower. I guess I just wanted a background. Still, these are some pretty interesting looking characters. The animation is quite nice.

The music is pretty good too. This does indeed fit under experimental. It lacks a plot. Well, anything less than a minute will have trouble with having a plot. It's still pretty nice to watch.

[Cat's Eye - Jane Doe (ZZZ)]

Aww, another great cartoon made from you! You were really on a role today! Or I mean, yesterday. It was amazing to see this great animation again. This was bloodier than the previous entry. Well, it was only really at the end.

Then again, it was short. Now that I think about it, it reminds me of "Panty And Stocking With Garterbelt". That devil tail is cool. You managed to create a story in a short time.

[We Love Cold War!!: The Anime (2023 Thesis Film)]

At first, I was thinking this was an intro. Instead, the whole thing wasn't an intro at all. The running time seemed just right. I appreciated seeing these bright colors. It actually kind of reminded me of "Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann". Something with the red and blue colors.

It was like a tamer "Miss Dynamite". It's been a while since we've heard of Sirkowski. It was definitely like a music video. Anything without dialogue or sound effects seems like one. It's just well put together.

Nicojian responds:

I haven't seen Miss Dynamite! But thanks for the review! I'll check it out. Yeah definitely I take more of a music-video like approach to my work. I cut up and change alot of the animatic timing depending on it. Hard part is that yeah music does tend to get a bit dull after 3 minutes, so I tried to switch it up and add alot of mini sound effects and foley to keep it more interesting. For the transitions, usually explosions work well to mask the interludes into the next song. Oh! And yeah love old Gainax stuff! I mean I hope it's obvious from my work that I love TTGL and Gunbuster so thanks for recognizing it!

[Cassidy Shed Quest]

This was a pretty fun little cartoon, but it was also too short. I recognize this style of animation. I was certainly not expecting a giant spider to appear. It was definitely interesting. There were nice details with all the spider babies. The voice acting is as cute as ever.

Even the setup managed to be pretty cute. It's a pretty nice little cartoon. It's good to see original characters appear. Well, I mean an original story. The animation is just so adorable, if a bit too cutesy.
