Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Rock beats]

I've wondered that too

I think I might have heard audio like this before, but it's really very well done. It is a question that I have always been thinking of. If rocks are strong enough to destroy scissors, then shouldn't they be strong enough to destroy paper? It's kind of a Catch-22 or rather, an avoidance of it. It's a system where you need to have different things that add up to each other, but they don't do it very well. I guess it simply has to be done to work in a game like this.

I loved your cute little panda avatar at the end. It was also great to see all of those fantastic pictures you showed throughout the cartoon. Your voice is just so perky in this and you get a great sense that you had tons of fun making this. There is just always something going on or showing off in this cartoon even if it's still images. Thank you for something so nice!

Sweet!
You're more than welcome. ^^
Thankyou!

[The Scarlet Mist]

I understand it

I have never played the games, but I think this is a reference to the series "Touhou". I just know so much about Internet fandom, I would be able to recognize that. What's really cool about this is how good the animation is. The funniest part was probably in the beginning when that girl's clothes were stolen. Pants (or skirt) isn't something I see get stolen that often. I am so glad this was finished!

The wierd thing is that it still looks as though it isn't completed. It just seems to end too soon and there's no reason why it shouldn't go on longer! You were really trying to inject creativity into this series. It's great to see how these characters play off their strange environments as well as each other. I'm glad to review this.

[Minecraft Documentary]

So great!

I have to give this props because it has some really fantastic animation! I have seen various works depicting the Minecraft world, but this is one of the best. I think the thing I like most is how well these characters move around despite the fact that they are blocks. It's great to see LegendaryFrog working on so many great new things! I was thinking he was going to say "World Of Warcraft". I'm not a fan of these games, but certainly understand their popularity.

I especially love how the voice keeps the subtleness throughout the entire cartoon. It's great to hear voice actors who sound so committed. What was also cool was how there were just so many lovely things to watch in the background and stuff. It truly gave you a sense of being in another world. I hope that people continue to make great Minecraft tributes like this. The colors are as fantastic and vibrant as really any other great cartoon.

[The Return of Ganondorf]

Good to be back!

I am glad I can go back and look at all the Easter Eggs I missed the first time. The best part is how well the animation holds up to today. The characters just look so adorable with all their pure color balls for eyes. I think the best thing is how Link consistently keeps up his fanatism in this. In case anyone is wondering, you can click on the picture in the beginning with Pikanjo on it to get a bomb thrown and then explode. Click on Ganny to make him squeak.

This goes for when he is in the credits too. Click on the blue shirt on the credits to see a pretty funny music video. It's always great to go back and look at the things you missed on something the first time. I don't think I've even played a Zelda game that had Ganon in it. It's great everyone has such a nice voice in this.

[Paper Sky]

Real cardboard?

This was great to look at because it was just so authentic! I kind of doubt that it was done with actual cardboard, but still great. I think my favorite effects would have to be when you cut outside the box and see the sky. It's especially fun to see each of these objects just pop up. Some of the sides look a little crude, but it's still great to look at. The music was also suiting as it gave you a sense of being shown something very high class.

It was an experimental flash, so it didn't seem to have much of a plot for me. I didn't care though, because it was so great to look at. There's just a great sense that you really went out to create a world of your own. It's nice to know something so creative has gotten popular. I am sure we could all learn from this technique.

[Song Of Skyrim]

Good looking game

This is the first time I have ever heard of this game before, but it looks great! It's especially nice to see you use the same fantastic animation you're known for. It's not too realistic looking or too cartoony. What works out best is how you let the characters have so much movement in themselves. I especially like how their facial expressions seem to really tell what's on their mind. The coolest part was probably with going to the Arctic.

Hey, I would know the Arctic is the North obviously! There were a lot of things going on, so it was hard to know what to expect. The only thing I didn't like was how short it was. I guess this was just so good I was expecting it to go on a lot longer. The references to other video games are great and there's so much vibrance in it.

[Ánima by Gusana]

How odd

This was a very interesting flash because I didn't know what was going to happen next. The person in the beginning seemed to be like a doll or something. I guess you were trying to create the whole Pinocchio angle. The music was really good in this and set off a good sense of heartwarming. I was a bit confused because at first it seemed like the man was trying to make the doll figure his daughter. I was a bit disturbed when I saw them kissing.

I am glad you did this as a tribute to your boyfriend. It makes me wish I was in a relationship where I could do something like that. What's also neat is how you don't use any colors except for the red heart. That really gives the impression that you are trying hard to focus on the heartwarming parts of this. I am glad this at least won some positive award.

[De Lazoarz Kollab 4]

Hey, I worked on something!

Well, I have to say that in terms of goofy submissions, this certainly takes the cake. The best part is how I myself have a role in this! I guess it's about time I made something, seeing as how I'm so prolific here! Then again, I did make something that got deleted and everyone hated it, and I actually think people hate this even more than that. The most annoying bit was easily the part by Joeloasticot (whichever one you are) as it went on too long with the sound.

My favorite was the one I made because I think it was the goofiest. There was just so much going on, you couldn't help but like some of it. A pity how this will probably give me a bad reputation, seeing as how the score is so low. You guys can call me back next time but we should probably be more organized in our collab. It's great to be a part of a collab, maybe I just be a voice next time?

[2 Guys & a Jigsaw Puzzle]

I get it

Okay, okay, I have to admit that you were pretty funny with how subtle you were being on everything. The best part is the animation. I swear that the guy on the left looks like some giant egg. The animation is easily the best part of this, especially with how you manuever the movements. It was fun to catch what was on the puzzle pieces. Now, for a more serious analysis, I think I disagree with what you're saying.

I think that what most people use as a defense for this is how religion caused the Middle Ages with little scienfitic advancement. This is completely untrue. If you question most modern historians, they'll agree that this has been discredited. Religion helped us through that thousand years more than anything. So yeah, it's hard to really love this, but it's still well done.

[[CD11] You Know the Drill]

I know it!

I couldn't quite make out the text that appeared in this, but I could get the joke. I have to admit that it is a pretty flashy design for Clock Day. What's also weird is how we really didn't seem to do that well with Clock Day this year. The Daily Feature winner this year had a score of like 3.95! It's great to know there are still people who use this day to put all their 5s out. That really is quite a nicely drawn drill you have there.

My biggest complaint is that it does seem to go on too long at the end. Well, that was obviously the point of it. I think this probably did fit under the "Informative" genre than any other that I can think of. I am actually not specifically familiar with that drill. Hopefully, it will be better on next year's Clock Day.
