Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Bowser's Kingdom: Eps 1]

I thought the Shy Guy sounded like Christopher Walken. Then I realized it was deliberate. The sprite work was quite good in this. I love the idea of henchmen like this. They're not very important to the original plot. I never thought that way about goombas.

The weird thing is that the written words were censored, but the spoken words weren't. Yeah, it ended with an explosion! I'm glad this was a series. It's just great how casual the conversation is. This probably is a realistic representation of these guys.

[Dawn of Sock]

This was a lot of fun. I just love this art style. I don't know what a cult had to do with any of this. Whatever, it was still great. I love how everything just moves around. Well, that's inevitable given the style. The music's nice too.

This was actually kind of an early cartoon for you. You were always awesome. Even without talking, you can understand everything. Actually, maybe it's easier that way. Happy Halloween time, I suppose!

[Mambolawyer]

I was weirded out by the title. Of course it would be about Phoenix Wright! Silly me! I just enjoyed how goofy and free spirited it was. Everything's gay nowadays. It was weird to see the characters drawn like this.

I mean, we're so used to seeing the sprite versions. This wasn't your best, but was still tons of fun. It was kind of weird to see the big boobed woman with that face. It's just so unsettling. This is a great song too.

[Jinas 1: A New Friend]

Wow, this was quite epic. It might not amount to that much in the end, but it was still very fun. Even the title "Jinas" is nice. I wish I knew what that meant. The voices were great. Tony is voiced by the guy from the Fernando cartoons.

Well, probably Fernando himself. These are some really odd characters. I like the idea of epic journeys. This one's actually more mundane. Well, none of them are human, but still.

["TETRIS"]

I didn't understand this. I literally couldn't understand this. I didn't know what these people were saying. Songs To Wear Pants To is a band? I thought that was the name of a song itself. The animation was pretty bad too.

There was just nothing unique about this. Oh wait, there's a description about their music. Silly me. I guess this is why there's no Tetris collection. That's a funny band name too.

[The Visitor]

Wow, that was really interesting. I mean, I didn't know much of what to make of this. It wasn't as dark as it seemed. It was implied the kid was going through a bad relationship with his brother. Then he goes and just leaves. It's so strange.

I guess the monster was good after all. What's the message? Sometimes we're just better off disappearing? It just seemed too deep. Oh yeah, that makes sense.

[Lloyd: Episode 5]

Wow, I was really impressed by this. I mean, the part at the end was actually very sole crushing. I really wanted Lloyd to be with his girlfriend. Well, I'm just a sucker for romance. This was still really funny. The best was when he questioned the Chevy Chase joke.

The animation is as good as ever. Of course I love your other works, Brad. May I address you directly like that? Well, who would respond? Whatever, this is a great series if only because of the cats.

Toonwerks responds:

It's generally LegendaryFrog or th1rt3en or BOE on this account. So I guess just address us as guys or folks, or fellow humans :P

Thanks for the feedback!

[Kid Icarus - Rampage]

I admit to not being familiar with Kid Icarus at all. At least I know his name is Pit. That being said, this was still enjoyable. I could have sworn that was Jazza doing the voice. Wait, TomaMoto just did the voice in a Jazza cartoon. He's like the male Rina-chan!

Pit seems kind of evil in this. Well, maybe that's what he was like in the games. Whatever, this was fun. I'm glad to be introduced to this mythology. I can appreciate this.

[Toll of the Lost 1]

Wow, I seriously wasn't expecting this to be a comedy. It really did seem like a straightforward sci-fi action cartoon at first. It's great to see Kirbopher! Or rather to hear Kirbopher. I wish you'd submit stuff here, dude. Your voice was great as always.

The best part was easily with the dragon. Personally, I'm more of a unicorn guy. The animation was just gorgeous. Everything moved so well. I look forward to more episodes.

Xiphon responds:

It's a very low-key comedy. It's much less of a comedy then it's art style would probably give the impression of I'm sure.

[SKATER V2 Episode: 03]

I love the animation. The best part was probably at the beginning when he was stepping on people's heads. That probably had the best action in the whole thing! This animation reminds me of "Cyanaide And Happiness", such a great webcomic. This was a little too short. Well, it wasn't meant to be long.

It's easily the best skateboarding related thing I've seen here! Granted, I've seen relatively few. Everything just moved so well. You are great with that. I'm glad this was a series.
