Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Shadow Hunter Trailer]

Well, normally you can't tell much from a trailer, but I can tell this will be awesome! I do hope it becomes an actual cartoon. Honestly, you have gotten such good response, I think most people would be satisfied if you never did make a real one. There seem to be a lot of different animation styles here. It reminds me of "Sin City". The name even has a nice ring to it.

It's easy to tell if something is going to be popular. I really have no idea what the story in this is. You certainly have a series that has a lot to lift up to. Some of it's a tad cliched, but overall very well done. It might even have a Batmanish ring to it.

[Ninja Action - 2]

I thought this was better than the first one. I still don't think it was good enough to get a full five stars. I think it's because some of the animation doesn't work. I still can't deny how freaking awesome this is! It's just amazing to see so much stuff going on. There are always different ways for everyone to die.

My favorite part may have been when he was wearing the cat. How'd the animal survive that? The music is also very fitting. I even like the designs of the monsters that appear at the end. My only complaint was that that was the end!

[Game Grumps: Arin is Mad]

Dude, I was freaking impressed at how good this was! You just got down the drawings of the characters so dang well. It was great to see all this great artwork and the way their mouths move. I think I have in fact heard of this series, but have never seen an episode. Arin seems to not be much in real life (if that is him). The fat guy kind of sounds like David Cross.

It's just so nice to see you doing more stuff. This just seems like something that could really happen in real life. I just think that it's a great way of making an atmosphere. For some reason, it seemed to go on pretty long. I should be used to the new format by now.

[Dan The Man Stage 7]

Dude, you're on a freaking roll with Daily Features! Of course, it's been done with people like chulaid. I really like the animation in this. My only complaint is that the main battle begins after it's over. My gosh, what kind of submission will beat 4.66?! You're probably going to set some new record.

It's interesting to see the story advance. I have not seen all the entries, but it's easy to see where this is going. Some of the stuff is just weird, like the daydreams. I admit that it's quite unpredictable and you're obviously eager to see what happens next. The little sounds are funny too.

StudioJOHO responds:

thanks for the feedback. yeah ive been pretty blown away by the responses and the daily features. You'll probably need to watch the earlier eps to see what the speech bubbles are about...that would take some explaining... as for the main battle, stage 8 (the ep and game) will cover all that, its gonna be large

[Awesome Kittens: Mad Dash]

Alright, this appears to be nothing but a gif of a bunch of guys going around. Why was this considered a game? There didn't seem to be any point. This seems more like something TheBoogley would make. I appreciate how well done the animation is. It really is some of your finer work.

I'm wondering if there's an Easter egg where I can play a game? I can't seem to find one. My favorite is the guy who's flying with his mustache. One of those guys is just someone in a costume. Too strange to be that enjoyable.

[Game Grumps Naruto]

I freaking loved this because of how fast paced it was. I was afraid to was just going to be some dumb parody, but there were a lot of cool things going on! I just love high in spirits this is. Everyone is just having so much fun with this. It's not just you, it looks like Naruto and Sasuke are having the time of their lives as well.

I think I've heard of you guys before, but am not that familiar. It's great to have all these things going on. The colors and action are just so luscious. You know how to give someone a good time. I hope I can see more stuff like this.

[DR. BEES]

While I thought this was very well done, as are all of your other submissions, it wasn't one of my personal favorites. That being said, it's still pretty awesome. I really appreciate the old timey look of everything. I wish I knew how Dr. Bees died. It reminded me of "The Venture Bros" probably because of the emphasis on insects. Dang, have I become a fan of that show fast.

It just helps that there are only a certain number of things you can do with bees. I guess a girl willing to eat a heart deserves to die like that with her mother. I think the all capitals make it funny. I really didn't know where this was really going. That certainly made it nice and unpredictable.

[Walk/Run Cycle Movie]

I'm surprised you made something like this. It's just that you usually make more detailed submissions. I guess it's just strange to see someone like you work on a test. To be fair, it was kind of a flash in itself, so you at least tried to have a story. I mean, the animation is in fact really good. It just doesn't seem appropriate for the website.

It's always nice to see people experimenting with new things. It seemed like this could have been part of a compilation of something. Maybe use it for a demo reel. Things like this aren't very good on their own. It seems strange something called a "cycle" would have a definite end.

Alpha-Nuva responds:

Every character returned to their initial position while walking. That is one completed "cycle."

[Ninja Action]

I really liked this and I could tell it was a tribute to Xiao Xiao. Dang, it's been so long since that has been referenced. It's quite weird how some of the animation is. I think that's really the only element that did not work. I still think the animation's great. I liked how there are a bunch of cartoonish things going on.

I like the little girl who keeps appearing. I thought she was going to turn evil or be accidentally killed. You're not Krinkels. Did it honestly take you from 2003 to 2012 to work on this?! That has to be some kind of record!
