Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Shadow Hunter - Extended]

When I first came across this, I thought it was the first episode in the series. This only has 2383 views?! This should still be on the front page! Anyway, I absolutely loved this and thought it was one of the best submissions I've ever seen. It's wonderful how you manage to create so much anticipation. Everything is just so ambiguous.

It was amazing to look at this fantastic animation. You really get the feel for the insanity that the police officer is going through. It's stuff like this that makes me a huge fan of animation in general. I hope you eventually make the series, like the Fallen Angel guys did. In other words, I loved every second of it. Perfect voices, perfect music, everything!

Thank you very much! I've put a lot of working into making it happen, and I will continue to do so until I reach my goal of making it a full length feature.

[I Love Dota 2]

I just wanted to let you know that I'm back from not being able to review for awhile (long story). Anyway, this was another great submission. I thought this would be a followup to another cartoon called "I Love Dota". I feel so embarassed for not knowing about something that's apparently pretty popular. I knew someone would get punched in the end.

Dang, that nerd would have destroyed me for not knowing about it. I wished he would have punched the fat kid who was picking his nose. That's disgusting! Anyway, the artwork is as good as ever. The voices work wonderfully too.

[The Crawler]

Wow, that was one of the most insane things I've ever seen. It's not that it was zany or anything, it's just that it was so freaking weird. I have no idea why this monster came out and helped this girl. Did he overhear what was going on? How could he have known that guy deserved it? The animation really stands out too.

I thought the girl looked kind of ugly. Of course, I don't want to make fun of her in this scenario. It's amazing how ridiculous this can be even without not that much going on. I knew things would work out for the girl in the end. Not that way of course!

[12-bit Power!!! (tv Ad)]

I think this was one of your weaker cartoons. Dude, I have never seen someone make such a sweet comeback before! It seems like you're cranking out a new submission every day. In fact, you pretty much are! I just wanted more story in this. I think the effects you use are still pretty nice. It would have worked better if there were more jokes.

This doesn't seem like something that would make a full submission. It works better as an ad. You are, of course, allowed to submit whatever you want. I hope you have some more interesting effects in your later works. Hey, the princess gave birth!

[Wrong Number]

Yeah, here I go again with giving you the full five stars. I know this is at least the third time I've done this. Everything just flows together so wonderfully. I don't understand much of what happens either. It's just amazing how you manage to have joke after joke after joke. There was an ad that showed up that I had to wait until it got away.

The animation is as fantastic as ever. I think that if I was the guy with the glasses, I would most likely say the same things. Even he seemed to succumbed to the madness with the cat twist at the end. In other words, this was purr-fect. Yep, there was a cat pun you didn't use.

Sexual-Lobster responds:

five stars from ericho! you gotta be kitten me!

[The Royal 8-BIT Jubblies]

This was in fact better than the first one. In fact, it makes me wonder why you even bothered splitting it into two parts. Maybe it was something that went wrong with how this website works. Anyway, this is pretty fun to watch. I especially like to see the princess riding the unicorn. It seems like you can't win in this situation.

If you have her get rescued, then she's weak, but if you don't, there's either no story or she's weak for not being able to get out on her own. It's similar with Princess Peach. I just now noticed how the yellow tint in the side bar goes on after the cartoon ends. Of all my viewings, I've never noticed that.

[SUPER DUPER BRITISH BROS.]

The artwork is as fantastic as ever, but I couldn't really get this one. I imagine from this and your name that you are British. This just didn't seem to make any sense to me. Maybe if I understood Britain more, the satire could come off better. I'm fairly certain it's satire. I was pretty turned off by the fat green woman.

This reminds me of the "South Park" episode about the Kate Middleton wedding. It was something similar, only with Canada. Not saying you ripped them off, I just noticed this. I think there could have been more live-action/cartoon mixing in this. I am starting the recognize the characters.

teaandcheese responds:

Comments appreciated and yes we are British :D It might make more sense after you watch Part 2 of this episode: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/621963

[THE ORIGIN OF DUBSTEP]

Wow, this was one fascinating cartoon. I had no idea he would eat the poop at the end. Then again, anything that brightly colored should at least be looked close up. You didn't seem to really tell the origin of dubstep. It was already written on the bottle. I like how the wizard has this John Lennon voice.

The way the live-action effects work is as fantastic as ever. I wasn't that interested with the poop and fart stuff. It shouldn't be gone into poop. But still, it's very colorful and wonderfully detailed as it is. I can count on you on making unique stuff.

teaandcheese responds:

Good point about the 'origin' of dubstep, I guess Wizard just invented it one day :D
Thanks for your comment!

[The Foxy News]

I thought this was a decent effort. I just failed to see a lot of good satire here. Are you British? I assumed this would be about the new baby the princess was having. I will admit that the animation was pretty good. I'm a bit confused now if you are a different person than Tim Urlacher.

At least I know Tim worked on this. There did seem to be some pretty steady movements in this. I couldn't find anything that foxy about it. Maybe you just need to draw more attractive women. I thought the boobs would be clickable, like in Epic Battle Fantasy.

Affinitia responds:

Well neither of us are British. My girlfriend Nikki who goes by the name "universalart" did the British accent for Dani Chung. This episode was also made about 2 to 3 weeks ago, we don't follow mainstream media or the news so we don't care or know about the princess and her baby? lol

Foxy Apartment is just the name of our show, I think it's really hard for people to understand that we just want an easy to remember name that applies to the animations we make. Foxy Apartment could very well be named "Party Pants Central" or "Bob's neighborhood".... you know?

I'm glad you like the animation and stuff. It was really fun to make and we'll probably do more of these. Next weeks episode is gonna be a music video and just like every episode of Foxy Apartment... it probably won't pertain much to the name. The name is like a brand. Although we like big boobs and will have more boobs in the future with this episode we really just wanted to make fun of how the news talks about celebrity's and gossip more than they do actual reporting.

So yes Affinitia = Tim Urlacher and universalart = Nikki E Poseidon. We live together, we have an office in our home, and we work on these episodes together on a daily basis. Really excited for next weeks Foxy Apartment music video that probably has more to do with birds than anything else...

[Empire of Sock: Episode 1]

This was one of the best things you've ever worked on! It reminded me of Problem Slueth and Homestuck for some reason. I think it's because it's hard to follow the actual story but the imagery is so gorgeous you just don't care. I love how there is so much going on. I knew those green orbs were going to turn out to be bad. I hope this wins Daily Feature.

This was extremely creative, even more so than your usual cartoons! The sketchy style is absolutely fantastic. I could tell from the first thirty seconds this was going to be something I woudl love. It helps that the music is great too. Everything flows together so perfectly. I'm glad you're turning this into a series.
