Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[SS Mail - Meaning]

I keep hearing people say this sort of thing encourages psuedoscience. I don't know, maybe the only reason I don't feel that way is because my mom is really spiritual. The video itself is very well done, showing all these wonderful images. You just come across as a person who wants to spread good. I can imagine Penn and Teller criticizing this philosophy in some way. What matters is that you have a lot of good morals set out.

You're telling us how we shouldn't rely on money for one thing. The notion that our life's meaning is something that we make ourselves is a great philosophy. I think even non-religious people can believe in that. It was also nice how everything in the video was presented in a clear manner. You even tell us we don't have to believe you.

[Macrocosm]

Well, this turned out to have the highest score of anything in Round 3 of NATA 2012 and it really shows. It got a bit confusing, but it's still a great cartoon. I have always found the subject of recursion a wonderful one. It was like the one thing in math I was never taught. It would probably be the coolest thing too! The way there were so many Earths reminded me of the comic book "Crisis On Infinite Earths".

I doubt that was the intention, that's just such a great comic, probably my favorite of all time. It was also great how there was no dialogue and you let the story unfold by itself. It's always nice for people to come up with new and inventive stuff. It's just a true gem. Even the title gives a sense of wonder.

[Yotam & Fantasia 06]

I thought this was a really cool episode and possibly your best. I think it mostly works because you go back to your roots of surrealism. It's great to see Funtastia turn into a dog. Yes, it was all a dream, but still freaking awesome. I couldn't recognize HotDiggedyDemon's voice here for some reason. I like how you reference the previous episodes.

This site was running slow for awhile, but it seems to be back to normal now. I appreciate the nice animation, even if there isn't a bunch of movement. I thought it was funny how Funtasia thought they were dating. I was thinking the same thing. You look anorexic here.

[League of Legends General]

How random. I generally know tons of stuff about video games and even if I haven't played most of them, I am at least familiar with their names. This was from something I had absolutely no idea about. Of course, it was funny enough to like. A good cartoon is something that can appeal to all people, not just fans of something. It was also great how you had such awesome animation.

It was nice how you had that sex robot song at the end. This kind of reminded me of "Fullmetal Alchemist" for a reason. I think it was the guy with the big robot companion. I liked the transition effects and stuff. It was weird, but not bad.

[little boat]

At first, I was afraid that there was something wrong with my computer. There was no sound coming from it, but the other cartoons on this website seemed to work. I now realize that you were truly trying to create subtlety with your animation. It seems like the entire thing was a big metaphor for something. I don't even know what but it certainly worked out into something beautiful. It makes you realize how wonderful animation can be.

This is truly a website where people can show off their talent. I think my favorite part was probably when all the fish started appearing. Dang, they were drawn well! I also love at the end where the boat just simply falls off the screen. Again, I don't know what that means, but it's really cool to watch. You have true talent.

[Seaside Denied]

I admit that it seemed kind of dated to use a video game that's fairly old, at least by modern standards. I'm probably just being too cynical, this is still a great cartoon. Maybe I would have given it a higher rating if Rouge was hotter, hee hee. It was great to have so many voices match the characters up so well. I did kind of wish there could have been more advancement onto the story. My gosh, not a single Rina-chan or TomAto credited!

It's nice to see the different styles of animation. Everything just seemed so unique and of high quality here. It seems just like the kind of scenarios that these characters would get themselves into. It was great to see how these guys played off of each other. I don't understand the title much, though.

[Central Bwankers]

Oh, I thought this was really funny. It mostly just shows you how the whole financial crisis is basically a vicious cycle. I will say I was kind of expecting more monsters and stuff in this. At least it manages to still be great and satirical. For something that didn't have a lot of detail, there was really good animation in this. The funniest part was probably when they all acted like zombies.

It makes you think it probably does work like that. I was thinking maybe Captain Planet or some economic symbol was going to show up in this. I wish there was a money bazooka that could hit me with so much money. I just have to continue with my job in food service aide. This really has a nice tune to it after awhile.

Sexual-Lobster responds:

i like this review ericho, very stream of consciousness. 4/5 stars.

[I'll Be There For You]

This was pretty bizarre, even for you. The weirdest thing was how you didn't even have any supernatural things in this. It really shows how creative you can be by depicting such mundane things. It's great as always to have the good animation. I think the best part was how they kissed. Everything seems just so nicely put together.

Next time, you could probably put more action in it. I thought it was cool how you included links to all your other recent cartoons. It's even cool with how you customized the tank at the end. I thought that was a man at first. I really couldn't tell without the boobs and lipstick.

[Pencilmation #24]

Woah, this was one of the zaniest cartoons I've seen from you! I loved it how you just had absolutely no idea what was going to happen next. I thought it was really cool how they were turning people into zombies, but in a different way than usual. I don't even know if those would be considered zombies. They're more just green things that lick things. It shows you'll never run out of original ideas.

I love how there's so many little things going on in the animation. It's great to see how the animation moves so smoothly. It may not make much sense, but it's funny. I would have liked to see the guy fight the zombies after they caused his game to end. I'd be pretty mad too. I just like the overall designs.

[Death & Elsie: Part 1]

This cartoon was simply fantastic. It's one of the best pieces that you have ever worked on and you are a great artist. It's not just that the animation is fantastic, it's just that it has such a wonderful story. It kind of makes you wonder what it must be like to be Death. I liked how you commented on Death moving onto non-human animals. That must be even harder for him.

The voicework was absolutely fantastic as well. While it was only one voice, it truly seemed like someone you would hear on an audio taping of some Edgar Allan Poe work. You can't help but fall in love with this girl. I'm eager to see what happens when the rest of this comes out. I hope it's as good as this!
