Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

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.

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.

[Christian Bale Revolution]

I imagine it would require some weird background stuff to understand this strange cartoon. What I liked about this was how original the designs were. I really have to be more familiar with every single Madness character nowadays. It's getting so that I've been losing track ever since Wikipedia took down the Madness Combat article. Those monsters! That being said, it was still nice as a short cartoon.

I thought I'd get a different cartoon for every button I pressed. I then realized that was just an indicator of where the other episodes were. I love how dopey everyone looks in this. You'd think there'd be more swearing in this. Everyone should understand that joke for now.

[Pencilmation #23]

Here we have yet another nice cartoon from you! Dude, you may have set the record for most Daily Features or at least most consecutive frontpaged stuff. What I loved about this was how you go back to creating this great world of yours. It really shows how much of a sadist you are with your characters. I thought it was cool not knowing what would happen next. Okay, I knew that big black ball was going to turn into a bomb eventually.

The facial expressions were really good in this one too. You'd be amazed how much you can do with just stick figures. Of course, this website has been proving that for years! I like all the yells and yelps these guys have. It really does show you the power of the pen. It gives all new meaning to that phrase.

[Ammuts Angel]

Wait, this is a short film you made and you didn't submit the whole thing? I imagine it must at least be pretty long for a short film. Anyway, this was pretty cool to look at. This is one of the first times in awhile where you had a hot looking woman in one of your works. Most of your art pieces consist of those, so I was wondering why you didn't have them there. It would be great for you to just release a montage of your sexy pictures.

With those notions pushed aside, this is a good cartoon. I like how you don't know how she's going to kill the cop. I thought maybe she'd just leave him to die at one point, but she knows better. There could have been some more voice acting, though. Of course, the action itself tells the story.

[Nukkullheadz Preview]

Usually on this website, you're more used to seeing trailers for flashes and games. This, however, turned out to be an ad for a graphic novel. I must say that it looks pretty good from what you have so far. I think the main reason it works is because you have such a wide variety of characters in it. You've got some giant green guy who has this ridiculously tiny head and then you have two smaller guys. This preview doesn't tell anything about the plot, though.

Of course, with such great action like this, it doesn't need to be like that. I appreciate you always looking for new projects. It was weird with how you were basically left up to yourself to figure out what was going on. While not one of your better works, still good. It's nice you're getting into professional stuff.

[Pregnetheus]

This is a great cartoon because you have no idea whatsoever what's going to happen in this. You can tell it was going towards humor when it was presented like a claw machine. It kind of makes you wonder why the tentacle fetus didn't come out before that. I thought the joke was going to be over with just the claw machine. You did an even better job at making this even funnier with the Angry Bird prize. I did NOT see that coming.

What's also great is the animation. It's funny how your cartoon before this was called "Short & Sweet". That's exactly what this submission turned out to be. I like how you have no dialogue and let all the visuals tell the story. It's funny to see her get bored while covered in blood.
