Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Underwater 3D Model]

I am generally not one for tests, but this was really good. I guess it's because we just see so little CGI on this website. Won't be long until we're going to have to have 3D glasses for everything. Hopefully, that's still off. I just like the whole underwater theme. It's great to see these interesting designs.

I would love to see this become a full story. I live near the beach, so it appeals to me. It's impressive to see how the crab moves. Or is that a lobster? There's not much else to say about something so short, but it certainly gives off a good impression.

Alpha-Nuva responds:

prawn, shrimp, lobster, water horse. it's all good.

[SnowBrahs]

I have played games like this, but I think this is referring to the original game those are based on. I did not even know there was an original game. I recall snow being used in most variants. I knew they were going to turn that into yellow snow. I was fascinated by how good the animation was. RicePirate really is becoming more like TomAto, or whatever his name is.

It's great to see such talented people coming together. I had no idea we were going to get into poop and I could have done without that. It's still nice how you make a tribute to this game. How could this have not won an award? Your childhood was more messed up than mine.

[Dan The Man Stage 6]

This was weird. I was expecting some comedic outputs, but there really wasn't any. I thought that maybe it was going to turn out that this guy didn't even have feelings for the other girl. How wrong I was. I still loved it, because you really know how to show emotions in this. It was cool to see the different designs used by Ana.

Yeah, never take an Internet romance too seriously. At least not on a website like that. It reminds me of TTA/TOME. Yeah, there were some romantic things that occured in the later TTA series. The artwork is as good as ever.

[Asslevania]

You don't have to be a fan of "Castlevania" to like this. I was really intrigued as to where it was going to go. I guess the image of a giant farting ass is just funny to me. Aren't vampires supposed to be killed by garlic? It makes sense someone as talented as TheShadling made the backgrounds. The voicework was great too.

The end made me realize just how many flashes RicePirate has worked on. There's so many unique people you have worked with too! The animation was just freaking brilliant in this. It was cool to find out how Alucard made such stinky farts. Those are funny.

RicePirate responds:

If you don't know the game, it's can feel a bit one-notey. If you do know the game, you still may not like the farts. But the speech Dracula starts (which I rewrote, after the first line) is a pretty famous in-game speech "what is a man", Alucard's backdash, Alucard's poison gas form (which he transforms into in the game, and does damage to enemies) ... and he's half-vampire, so he's immune to all the things vampires fear.

[GoT - Lost in translation]

I guess if I was a fan of GOT I would have enjoyed this more. I mostly didn't care for this because I didn't really understand it. I do understand if you are a big fan of the series. I thought I knew enough about tropes to be familar with anything? Well, the animation was as good as ever. I especially like the one shown in the last scene.

There's always theories to a characters being someone's father or that guy in the future. I will say it was funny to make jokes about buckets of nipples. It's just an image that's so insane it comes off as entertaining. I don't know if they're speaking a real language. Of course, all languages are technically made up.

[A Random Day]

Okay, I wish I could understand what that was all about. I mean, it's still better than a lot of other crappy flashes where nothing but random things happen. I can't really say I want you to improve, because you already have. I think it's interesting to see how far you have come. I think this was supposed to be like "The Demented Cartoon Movie!". It's strange how things work better when they're a lot longer.

If I had a favorite part, it would probably be the end where the guy got crushed by a giant boulder. It had color! Then again, most Madness flashes work like that too. You certainly must have had a random day animating this. It's just that your later work is much better.

[Dan The Man Stage 5]

It's interesting to see how far this goes into the series. I am starting to understand the characters much better. It's still fairly ambigious, but it's nice to look at. I like the notion of a dragon being sympathetic. I just love how stupid the main character is and how he pours all these body fluids out in the end. It's just a funny image in sprite.

I'm glad there are cartoons like this that still use sprite. I guess I'm just old fashioned. I think my favorite part would be when that one guy is stabbed by the shadowy figure. Too bad he's a bad guy. I think it's cool how there's this medieval atmosphere, but there's still machine guns.

StudioJOHO responds:

cheers mate, the guy who gets stabbed is actually a girl btw
