Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Moisture Care]

It's funny...

...how LazyMuffin's below me when I thought this was something made by HIM. The best thing about this is probably the ending. It it easily the funniest part of the whole cartoon. It was a bit hard to tell what was going on in the cartoon, if that was part of the guy's imagination or whatever. Anyway, it mostly wasn't and it also helps that the animation here was simply fantastic. It looks like a combination of some our greatest animator's work.

The coloring was nice and clear too. I am amazed that you were able to pump this out so fast, because it's such a great cartoon! I have little doubt this will go on to be extremely popular. It makes me wish that I had a skin moisturizer lady as beautiful as this one. Hey, it would be the closest I could get to getting intimate with a woman!

[MadSeth X-Mas Special 3]

Just that?

I'm sorry, it's just that I have been so used to seeing Madness stuff with more action in it. I can't hate it, because there's nothing that bad about it. It is certianly not something I would recommend, but at least the animation is good. I think that is how the movie "Silent Night, Deadly Night" started out. In case anyone's wondering, the body count is two. That has to be the lowest body count for any Madness tribute I've ever seen.

I can only suggest that the next part have more action in it. I haven't seen the other entries in this, so it's hard to judge. Why is it called the third in the series if the cartoon itself indicates that it took place before 2010? Well, I hope you had a great Christmas season, I guess. It's great how Madness and Christmas always gets high ratings.

Rapheus responds:

Never seen "Silent Night, Deadly Night".
And I've already broken the 'Lowest Madness Tribute Death Count' record twice: Tale of Lambert with one death and Mother's Day Massacre with zero deaths.

And this is kind of a prequel to the MadSeth Christmas animations. I'd suggest you watch the other two for some grounding. -Plus they have higher death counts.

Regardless, thank you for the lengthy review.

[Garbodor is Ugly]

Decent cartoon

I don't think I had heard of Garbodor before. It's just that there have been so many pokemon there came a time where I simply decided to stop trying to remember all their names and appearances. I think it was around the fourth generation that I just lost count. I appreciate the decent animation you have. Garbodor especially looks nice and at first I wasn't sure if that was a real pokemon or not. The appearance does look a bit familiar too.

I like how everything is so simple in this. Of course, it might be a bit too simple. I'm guessing you could have just put in some more stuff and made it more enjoyable. It's far from bad, it's pleasant for a quick laugh and I like how this guy gets what he deserves. If only the bigger haters of pokemon would get their comeuppance.

[Surface EP 2 (Part 2/ 2)]

That's too bad

This is a really bizarre cartoon and it's a shame it will apparently never advance! I haven't seen the others in this series, but I imagine they're just as weird. I am generally not a fan of your work, but this was actually really good! It reminds me of that one "Twilight Zone" episode. It featured people who were stuck in some place and they couldn't eat or sleep. At the end, it turns out they were actually toys in a container!

I doubt that's going to be the same here, but then again, we'll never find out. Hopefully, we can all learn to appreciate what you left behind. This doesn't have the senseless and silly violence that most of your flashes had. It does look a bit dated, but still nicely done. I appreciate you submitting anything you want to here.

[True Story!]

Fine, I suppose

Hmm, you actually made a Kamehameha in school that destroyed the entire Earth? You would think I would know about the Earth being destroyed. Anyway, the animation in this wasn't too bad, but it just wasn't anything that special. The same goes for the voice work. I guess there have just been so many DBZ jokes it's hard to come up with new, original ones. The execution wasn't bad, it just didn't accomplish that much.

I will admit that it was fairly unpredictable. As you originally said it was based on a true story, I expected nothing supernatural to happen. Well, that's how it goes sometimes. Hopefully, you can learn to put in some more jokes and it'll be more enjoyable. At least you can say you got a really high score with only a couple hundred votes.

[b and z -gas station]

Needs work

The animation itself isn't really that bad. Where you lose points is that you seem to not have this at the right resolution. I know that when something goes to a lower resolution, it can be annoying, but you could try numerous things. The only thing I ever submitted here turned out badly. I think the best part would be when he's firing the staples at the zombies. It was also a good idea to make fun of how cars always explode in movies.

What's annoying is how it just seems to go on too long. A lot of the time, the jokes seem to take too long to really understand. The voice work isn't that bad, but could probably be better. I also wish I knew how to tell you not to make it into an infinite loop. From the title, I thought it was going to be a parody of Dragonball Z, or DBZ.

[Rats on Cocaine - Ep # 4]

So awesome

I think the funniest thing about this is probably the joke at the beginning. There's nothing like a character complaining that they're not really in a cartoon. This is something where you really have to appreciate the animation. Everyone just looks so wonderfully designed in this and it seems like something straight out of an abstract art painting. The voices are also fantastic. The male rat especially sounds exactly like what a rat in that situation would look like.

It's great to see a funny cartoon that has so much going on. The jokes are so unpredictable. I guess it's not as good as #10, but still a great episode. I like looking at all the detail in this cartoon, like all the math formulas the rat writes down. It seems like the female rat might have gotten in the fourth wall when the obscure character came.

ApocalypseCartoons responds:

meta thanks!

[Friendship is Magic Bitch]

That was awesome!

This is easily your best submission and it really works well because it's so consistently hilarious. The animation is absolutely flawless. It's probably my favorite MLPFIM parody I've seen on this website! I just love how every frame just seems to be showing these guys exaggerating their body movements and jumping all over the place. Every body part is just going off in the zaniest directions. I thought it would end after the first guy.

I am SO glad it kept going on, because it kept up how funny it is. It's weird how people make fun of Princess Celestia like that, when she's only been mischeivous a few times. It, of course, works wonderfully for this hilarious masterpiece. You just have no idea what's going to happen next. You are a great credit to all bronies and everyone who's a fan of insanity. You never let down, friend!

Skaijo responds:

Thank you very much for all of your kind words!

[Paradise Lost VD Special]

Has lots of good moments

I think the best thing about this was probably getting to see that Kefka sprite again. In the early days of the website, you saw him all the time. This is good, because it introduces a lot of cool characters. Onslaught is one of the most awesome villians ever and I'm glad he had a cameo. Trust me, under that space suit, Samus is drop dead gorgeous. I wasn't expecting anyway in the cartoon to succeed like that.

Of course, it could be argued everyone died when Kefka blew himself up or whatever he did at the end. The voices were fairly decent. I thought that this was a part of a series, but I looked at your other submissions and didn't see anything else with a similar title. Of course, in the author's comments, you imply it is part of a series.
