Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pacific]

Yes, it has been so long since you have submitted a sprite cartoon. I have never played the Kirby games, although I did watch the anime. I was really impressed at how heartwarming this was. I mean, I had no idea who any of these wacky characters were, but I still felt for them! It works great as a music video too. It seems like it's been awhile since there's been a good Kirby flash.

May the little pink guy never go out of style! I don't know what the title means, I'm thinking maybe it was the name of whatever song was used in this. I loved how there so many flashy colors throughout the entire cartoon. It's great to see all this stuff well arranged. I wasn't expecting Tiff and Tuff to appear either.

[10 Years of B!]

I admit that this was at least fairly good in comparisons to a lot of other stuff submitted for Clock Day. It seemed like most of the stuff was clickable, but it just didn't do anything. I was disappointed in that. Still, it is a fairly big milestone when you celebrate something ten years in the making. It was at least nice to see so many different clocks. It makes me realize how big a part you guys are of this website.

I will say that I do kind of think the Clock Days aren't becoming as popular as they used to be. Congrats on getting such a high score! You guys will always be remembered. The colors and designs are really nicely done in this too. There could have been some music, though.

[Pikachu on Acid]

That's weird, when I first saw this on the website, it only had a score of like 3.45. It's soo nice to see that it has a much higher score now! What I really love about this masterpiece is how good the animation is. It's not just that, it's that you really poke fun at the fandom in general. I loved the Rocketshipping joke and the one about James being gay. The music is also wonderfully done.

The voicework is absolutely flawless as well. I love the fact that everything's moving around in this cartoon and it's all so insane, especially with the acid sequence. James never had a Muk, but I'm being nitpicky. It was just gold from beginning to end. Some of the jokes are hard to get, but they're presented so wonderfully it doesn't matter. All of you guys are great!

["Seeing is Believing" rap]

I wasn't that impressed by this submission at first. It wasn't so much that it looked bad, it's just that it didn't seem like much of the ordinary. I was quite pleasantly surprised to find out that it got a lot better with how the monster appeared. Or rather, how the guy turned into the monster. It was also really cool how he turned into a live-action guy at the end. It also has a nice beat.

I have no idea what's even going on in this. It's great to see that guy just slicing and dicing people up, not to sound morbid. It might not be one of your more noted flashes, but it's still great. I promised I wouldn't look at the time to test myself and I didn't! It was worth it.

MindChamber responds:

ya sorry, I did a bad job with the story I think..

basically the cablines that connect to apt to the studio was hit by a crashed ufo, that ufo is giving off energy thats turning the rappers words into reality.. I hope that helps.

thanks for the review.!

[Scott and Alex play House]

This is actually funny, because here's what I thought you were going to do. I thought you were going to turn it into a parody of the show "House". That moment first came to me when the one guy appeared with the beard. It was still pretty funny and well animated at least. I know you don't have to make this long to make it good, but I kind of felt it was too short. I appreciate you making something different.

I really like how everyone moves so well in this. It seems like you might have gone out of your way to not repeat a drawing or at least not much. It's been awhile since I've even heard of someone playing house. It seems like everyone is preoccupied with video games nowadays. This is the Internet, of course.

[Robot Masters: Metalman]

I admit I was a tad disappointed with this year's Robot Day, but you certainly made up for it with this awesome cartoon! This is one of the best robot/Megaman flashes I've ever seen! I'm getting the feeling that MetalMan isn't from the games. I really liked how cool the animation was in this. Even the menu screen was great! I had no idea this was Mega Man's anniversary.

I was afraid it wasn't going to show the final battle with Metal Man. That is what turned this from a four and a half star cartoon to a five star one in my eyes! The sounds are wonderfully synched up too. I really appreciate all the great detail put into this. Anyone can love this masterpiece! Happy Robot Day 2012! You truly deserved your Daily Feature!

[Sasuke Shorts Part 4]

I hadn't seen the other ones in the series, but this was really cool. I think the main reason it works is because the animation is so fantastic! You really have characters moving their bodies so much! Granted, it could have been funnier, but it's still awesome to look at. I think my favorite part is when Neji turns into this monster. The voices are wonderfully done too.

You did make a mistake, Rock Lee isn't able to use jutsu. Of course, this whole thing was just done for fun, so it probably wasn't meant to be accurate. It's funny to see how you portray yourself in front of that computer. I'm pretty sure that's what you were aiming for. It's great to look at.

KKING1 responds:

lol yea you are right about all of those things

[Adoptio - Mad-n Ib]

While the action itself wasn't that great, it made up for that in terms of sheer creativity. This is one of the wackiest cartoons I've seen in awhile! It seems like you went out of your way to create a unique world! I mean yeah, you were inspired by Madness, but most of the ideas are in fact your own. It's weird to have some dialogue in a Madness cartoon, even if it's just written. There are certainly unique ways to kill people.

I appreciate you having so many cool colors in this. Everything just seems so mixed and random. Many people would probably say that's just what a good madness animation should use. From the title, I actually thought this was a game. I thought it would be Mad Libs!

[Robotic]

I thought it was really cool how this is the first submission I've seen for Robot Day 2012! I believe it first started in 2010. I didn't think this was one of your better cartoons. I think it's mostly because the animation wasn't as good. It still managed to be pretty catchy when you taught onto the beat. The techno effects used were nice too.

I liked how you created this as a prequel. Granted, I've seen so many flashes, I don't even remember the original, but it's still some nice work. I appreciate you keeping the spirit of robots up. The stuff shown on the menu is nicely done too. It looks like his feather brush is made of cotton candy.

koit responds:

Yay, that was the look I was going for on the duster. :)

[Cooking with Gandalf]

That's funny, I thought all of my favorite artist's works would be updated. I guess it really only matters if the person in question (JAZZA) is the main producer. Anyway, this is a very funny cartoon. It's been awhile since there's been a good LOTR parody here. The animation is great and I easily recognized Jazza's work. I think the voices are also really strong too. I was not expecting them making out.

Of course, there are fanfics where worse things have happened, I suppose. The drawings were all really unique here, especially Gollum's. It was great to see new life being breathed into these characters. It's nice to know everyone worked in a different position for us. We truly are a community.
