Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Hitman Episode1]

I enjoyed that more than I thought I would. I mean, it has pretty good animation. I didn't like the way you had to advance the dialogue. Yeah, I know that was later used in "TTA" and "Super Mario Bros. Z", but it wasn't as good here. I guess the action needed to be better. Still, some of the animation holds up.

You still haven't made your best series. I appreciate the story. It can be something really good. It's certainly passable. It's even kind of realistic.

[Inferno Cellar]

The animation was quite nice. It was interesting to have that joke at the end. I thought it would be something about a pedophile priest. Every priest is one nowadays. Well, they're at least depicted as one.

I even like the title. It wasn't great, though. It could have had more gags. As far as jams go, it was nice. They usually don't produce the best cartoons.

[DUCKOUT]

Congratulations on being the most popular Basement Jam submission! I can see why. Saving people in the Holocaust is always tear jerking. It was a little predictable. It's still worth it. The music was enchanting.

It deserved Daily Feature. Of course you weren't saying good things about the Nazis! Who would think that?! It's just that some weren't willing to kill everyone. It goes with the following orders argument.

BadTwinZ responds:

Thank you.

I was skeptic in making this in not only was it going to be demanding and a toll on my life, job, time and etc. But worried that social media and irl cases of people getting angry and twisting this into something that it is not. It seemed that anything that was related toward Nazi's, no matter what, if it was true or false would start shit storm online. Eventally, accusing those of supporting nazi's.

I remember seeing someone saying that people like Schindler should be forgotten, regardless that he saved thousands of jewish people lives. All because he was tied toward the nazi party. Like no matter what, they were going to kick off and start something if I dare talked about it.

Luckily, I've been to Germany. I have not only my friends in Germany having my back but also history as there have been lots of documented moments of german soliders in 1940's not committing the horrid acts. They just get ignored mostly.

[I am in the basement]

Yeah, it's easy to see how this has the lowest rating for the Basement Jam. It was way too crudely drawn. I suppose it was at least unique. The voices were fine. It was just so cheaply done. The audio seemed off.

You need way more creativity. I guess it can be hard to make a cartoon in this time. Still, people have made much better. Haven't noticed a non game jam in awhile. So much goes on here it's hard to keep up.

flashmakeit responds:

Thank you for the comment. I guess I need to improve my drawing skills. It takes so long to draw everything correctly and make it look good. I just love the male voice. Thanks for noticing it. I should try adding another game so I can try and get better at that.

[One day in Mario World]

I admit that wasn't great, but it was colorful. Maybe you could call this a guilty pleasure of mine. The sprite work was very nice. I had no idea what would happen next. It was so unpredictable. It didn't make much sense, but it was fun.

The Mario franchise in general is like that. I feel bad for not knowing who that was at the end. Probably a "Final Fantasy" villain. Even the title's nice. It's fine for what it is.

[DEW HAAST]

I loved this! This was one of my favorite cartoons from DrunkMagiKoopa. I'm so glad his cartoons are at least still around. The best part is how this is a great song. It's one of the most well known foreign language songs. Well, now all of them are memes.

I remember the Richie. It was a fake used by Team Rocket. I remember "Pokémon" that well. Wait, it's still on today! The title reminds me of Mountain Dew.

[Peanut Butter Jelly 3]

I really do love this cartoon. It's great to hear from Brian Reagan! This is a really basic joke, but is so hilarious. I just thought it was so funny I showed it to my mom. Food jokes are pretty standard fare. The artwork was simple, but great.

I realize how much this makes sense. It might be because I've told jokes at a comedy club or two. This seems like a pretty basic start. It's nothing too deep, but it is very funny. This was a great day for cartoons here. You make the best peanut butter jelly cartoons.

[The GPkiller Episode1]

The voices were annoying. Still, I can understand seeing as how it was a first episode. Why was it submitted last? I didn't care enough for there to be a 5th episode. I still guess it was passable. He's called the GP Bastard, not the killer.

I guess any killer would be a bastard. The animation looks dated. I guess it's not that bad for stick figures. It's mostly harmless. Well, most cartoons aren't harmless.

Ringfinger responds:

dated? it's from 2002, it was the shit back then.

[Kerrigan -= Innocence =-]

Wow, that really was sweet. We're not used to using that term casually. I had no idea what this would be. It's great that you showed such good animation at such an early stage in your career. I would call this a career. It's so honest.

I even like the "Innocence" name. You rarely see stuff this sincere. We need more of it. It's great that you get even better later. The artwork seems so different already.

[The GPkiller Episode4]

I thought this was better. The best was probably how it had more depth than the other episodes. I didn't expect the killer to talk. Well, it was still annoying with that voice. I still enjoyed most of it. I liked their expressions.

It's hard to do that with stick figures. A pity there wasn't another sequel. It might not have been great. I always love seeing people's early work. There's always room for improvement.
