Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mario Brothers - Part I]

How unfitting

Wow, so unfitting music at the end of something serious or scary has been around since 2003? I didn't realize that this entire series was a flashback. It's pretty good because I forgot how it would end by the time the last entry came. It's amazing how few people make serious Mario flashes. Everything about this is extremely dramatic. You get a true sense of being in a dark world different than what you know of the games.

It seems like a lot of people have made flashes like this. Yours was one of the originals and the best. It's pretty cool to see how characters that have such old designs manage to show off their abilites so well. You know how to make something epic no matter what it looks like. I really felt sad when Luigi actually died.

[TOME Episode 01]

Here we go again!

It is just so fantastic to be viewing this masterpiece! I am probably going to keep on asking you if I, as a character, appear in this and if I will ever be able to voice myself. Of course, I would review all of your works anyway. It's stuff like this that makes me pine for the old days when we used to hang out and do that stuff. I hope this series will now win the awards that it deserves. Geez, one entry had a review score of 9.99 and it didn't win an award!

It's fantastic to hear such awesome people like Kajet and CardGamesFTW. Celebrities on the Internet get to know everyone else, don't they? I finally found out how you got your name, Kirbopher. I had no idea Kajet's real name was Weston Durant, it's always nice to know that! Everything is just amazingly vibrant in this! Your old series was classic (058 was the first thing I ever reviewed and I'm one of the most prolific reviewers on the site) but this certainly looks promising.

[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.
