Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ytown Public Original]

I don't think this holds up very well. Its main flaw was that it was too long. I was expecting the first episode to be much shorter. The animation is pretty much hit and miss. It works some of the time. Other times, it doesn't add up well with the dark outlines. It really stuck out.

I have seen other 2001 animation and it can be much better. The voicework could have been better too. It seemed like people were too close to the mike. At least this won Daily Feature. It's a pretty original concept, I guess.

[Damnation Intro pt. 1]

I didn't care much for this. It was weird how you divided an intro into different parts. That just seems short enough for a single submission. It doesn't even seem like an intro. It was at least nice to see all those Doom guys. Granted, I'm not familiar with the series that much.

The music seemed pretty good. The animation just isn't that good. It looks quite dated. I'm glad this was released as a full intro. It just didn't engage me.

[Rhythm and Rockets]

I really do love this cartoon! In the beginning it reminded me of Fionna from "Adventure Time!". As it went on, it became awesome in its own right! I really do love how fluidly everything moves. I feel bad for not recognizing you as the creator of "Slush Invaders Duel". That's one of my favorite flashes ever!

You made something truly wonderful and unique here! It's great that it's so joyous. Everything is so wonderfully light-hearted. To think, I just reviewed "Rosethorne". Everything moves so wonderfully vibrant. I love it all!

gildedguy responds:

Thanks! This movie is a bit different from my stick figure stuff, so don't feel bad. Glad you enjoyed the tone and animation.

[Rosethorne - part 1]

I thought the audio was just fine. It's amazing how dark this is. Then again, it's ONLY BEGINNING! The art is just beautiful. You put so much realism into this. I really was legitimately scared from this cartoon.

The music wonderfully fit the mood. Not even Jhonen Vasquez could make something like this. I really do feel for what's going on. Granted, that might not be a good thing. Great and chilling cartoon!

[HEAT MAN 1]

This was just okay. The later stuff you do is much better. I guess it did have an interesting plot to it. I appreciate the voice work. I'm pretty sure that was something just made for this cartoon. It was weird how Mega Man died so easily.

I'd think he'd at least try to attack Cut Man. Well, it gets better later. I don't quite understand the opening. The drawn parts looked off model. It still wasn't terrible.

[FFF: Epic]

With the "Epic" in the title, I knew it would be the longest. I was right! Anyway, it was really impressive how you showed the different styles. You do pretty good hand drawn animation. Well, I guess in Flash that wouldn't be the correct term. It's still great to look at.

I am feeling nostalgic for TTA. I wonder if it was directly inspired by this? You really did use the mythology of the series quite well. I can understand how these characters interact much more. It holds up very well.

SplashKhat responds:

A search for TTA brought up Tv Tome Adventures, it's a game here on NG. This video was made long before that xD. I honestly stopped watching NG vids and games while working on the series. I wanted to create by my own imagination and not mimic, or try to out do other things that I've seen. NG made me feel like it's all a competition, I made these because I had fun doing it. I wanted to keep having fun with it, so I turned into a NG hermit, lol.

[FFF: Darkside]

I feel bad for not being more familiar with the series. I do really like this. That was a pretty funny way to list the audio. The music was of course great. It was good how you showed the passage of time in this. I thought this series was numbered at first?

I would love to see an update for this. You had good visuals, too. It's nice how I'm starting to feel for the characters. Well, I can at least remember their names. That was good battle too.

SplashKhat responds:

If you had watched them from the Series page (link in my profile) they are ordered from top to bottom. When I first started these, I had no idea I'd be making over a dozen of them, so I didn't number them till much later.

The game most of these characters came from was hard to play. Every spell had levels. Cure1 could be level 1. And it became stronger the more you used it. And then when you learn Cure2 it's at level 1. So you had to grind and train your characters to become good with magic.

Other then visual effects, camera, and perhaps a longer fight, The story for this chapter is solid. I wouldn't change anything there other then to make it more obvious that their spells had levels. While some were weak, they could also be very powerful.

[FFF: Grrl]

Well, the first post 911 episode. Okay, I really shouldn't get into that. I truly appreciate how all of these characters have a role. The sounds were quite good. It was nice to see Black Mage like that. It's weird how everyone just dies in this.

Then again, there are as many characters as there are deaths. I suppose it was more realistic. I really like how the monsters are depicted. It was great to see Chocobos and Moogles in this. It gives a good actual connection between the games.

[College University pt 3-3]

Wow, I can't believe this won Weekly User's Choice but nothing else! Well, I guess it was the last in a series. Aliens and Bigfoot! Now all we need is a ghost! Wait, I think there is one that appears later in something else. The jokes were so good in this.

Yep, I know what it's like to buy expensive books. Not so with meeting aliens or Bigfoot though. It's nice to see the black ninja appear for the first time, or dark ninja or whoever he is. I love the weird title and fake name. I like how the red haired guy is still smarter than Karl.
