Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Death of Nyan Cat]

Could have been more graphic

I was thinking he was going to die when he was in the toaster. You know, he is a pop tart but maybe he would be burned too badly. I am quite glad that you made it something better and that WTF explode meme will simply never get old. I have to remark that this is one of the best drawn Nyan Cat I have seen! Even the rainbow that's his tail is quite out of the ordinary. I guess it shows how much detail you can put in without sprites.

It was also really cool to see preview images of your other cartoons. That's pretty popular on other sites so it only makes sense that it would have a place here. I am also glad the death wasn't as graphic as I thought it would be. Of course, Nyan Cat, being made of pop tarts wouldn't have blood. Like I said earlier, he would just get burned!

That was weird

It perhaps wasn't so much a drama cartoon as it was an experimental one. I really had little idea what was going on, but it was still very powerful. I am guessing it was about StrawberryClock trying to bring all the other clocks back for some reason? I suppose he succeeded in how we saw some faces at the end. The way there was no dialogue really set the tone. It's probably one of the most serious clock movies I have ever seen.

I like how we get the big picture at the end when everything appears in color. It's still amazing how you create so much of a world for your characters to live in. What kind of things can you look at and achieve deep in the night? Is there a whole world you are going to find? It was interesting how you can tell emotions with clocks for faces.

Getting better

Again, for something labeled as a parody, this didn't seem to have that many laughs in it. Don't get me wrong, the CSI jokes were awesome. Trust me, that will never get old. The coolest thing about it was probably how you do focus on having on ongoing story. The fight scenes with the monsters were really cool. It seems like I'm seeing Minecraft flashes everywhere I go on this website. It's amazing how much depth you can put in when you only use blocks for color.

The voices are wonderful too. This seems like what people would sounds like in a scenario such as this. It's amazing how resourceful you can be when you just have a bow and arrows. The monsters are fairly, pardon the pun, three dimensional in this. I am interested in seeing how far this goes and where our heroes venture.

Thanks! Nice review too! This is my first stab at a series so I'm glad people are liking it so far.

[1976: Issue 1]

Not bad

I kind of thought it was a bit-anticlimatic, but still done fairly well. The best part is probably how everything was building up so well. I expected it to be the work of aliens, but I guess with the prescence of Darnell at the end, it was unexpected. For the record, this book is 30 pages long, so it's not that long of a read. What I didn't like was that some of the text was too small to read. I tried zooming in to get a better look, but then the resolution got lower.

Not one of the best out there, but still nicely done because everything was presented in an organized manner. The best part is probably the drawings. The best of that would probably be the dead cows in the rain. You did kind of get the feeling that you could get into these character's heads. Too bad I don't even know where the Newgrounds store is.

[Super Console Wars Part 1]

You're amazing

Dude, this is some of the most fantastic graphics I have ever seen in a cartoon! I can't believe this was made in 2002! It was great how you also merged so many universes together like Star Wars, Mario, and the other video games. It is in no way messy, but instead weaves together to make something awesome. All of the designs are fantastic and completely flawless. You even manage to make a good satire of the gaming industry and fanbase in this.

It fits in the "Other" genre because it incorporates so many different elements and ideas. I love all the little things that go on in here, like the short cartoon at the beginning. The voice acting is completely fantastic and it gives the characters great justice. The music is fantastic and I think my favorite character would have to be Darth Mario. As these series are some of my favorite franchises, they do so well together. You are a true genius!

[Jesus H. Christ]

It is laid back

Wow, that was probably the most peaceful animutation I have ever seen. It makes me realize that you were the first person to create this stuff! The coolest part was probably when Pee Wee Herman was in the mine shaft. I also found it interesting how there were some characters in this who were not that well known in animutation. You'd think an older entry would have more recognizable figures. I can tell this is a pokemon song from the anime sounds.

Except for "The Japanese Pokerap" I think most people don't realize that's where animutations came from. I liked how the characters all seemed to exist in their own world. They maintained peace with each other and the animation effects were really good. It shows that you don't have to be loud to make something interesting. It's nice to see everyone having a good, pleasant time.

How odd

I found it strange that you actually went out and made an ad. Somehow, an ad that depicts people getting beat up does not seem like it would be appealing. I still have to praise you for having the same good fast pacedness that made all your other cartoons so enjoyable. It did bother me how it existed as an infinite loop. I don't understand how that happened, because you apparently know how to give it an end. The detail was pretty good, especially with the dolls.

It might not have been anything that was too original for the series, but still fine. This is one where the sound effects do all the talking. It makes me sad that it has literally been years since your last submission. At least we were able to enjoy your creativity while we had the chance. I like how the guy waves at the end.

[Madness Retriibution p1]

That was unexpected!

Of all the Madness tributes out there, this was one of the most original! It really even mocks the original depiction of the characters which is fairly simplistic. The only part that needs to be improved on is that the lining does look a little off. Still, it's great to see Hank move around in his environment. The way the characters are killed have a lot of depth to them. I was never expecting the shadowed guy to talk like that.

It may need a Replay button, but I can see the second part being even better. It's great to see how everything has so much depth to it. The characters move around not in graceful ways but in darker ways. It suits the ridiculously sinister tone of the cartoon. I like how it's just all over the place and doesn't even know what it's doing.

[CD09: Final Boss of Ng 1]

Otters!

I should have guessed something with a closeup of StrawberryClock's crotch would not be good. I guess the animation of the otter and the fish isn't that bad. It's just that I feel like it doesn't have any place here. The music could also be better as it gets a tad annoying at times. I was at least glad that it does seem to go away after awhile. I think it would have worked out better if this was a game with an actual boss in it.

I would think it would feature StrawberryClock as the main boss or at least the one depicted here. I find it strange how something is called "Final something 1". A "1" in the name implies there will be more. Then again, Mel Brooks did do a movie called "History Of The World Part 1" that never followed with a sequel. Please try to have more going on.

[The Noob Adventures Episode 1]

Parody?

I liked this a lot, but I was a bit confused as to why it was called a parody. It actually seems like the genre was played fairly straight. Stuff like this makes me want to go out and buy the Minecraft game, wherever I can get it. What I thought was really cool was how well everything was drawn. For characters made entirely of cubes, they all really had depth to them. Why wasn't I thinking of Cuboy sooner when I heard of this?

I like how subtle everything goes in this. It doesn't have a lot of wacky humor but has a more basic story to it. The funniest part was finding out the guy's name was PoopLoser_69 and how nobody cares how stupid that name is. Sorry if I offended any actual Minecraft players with that name. The voice work is authentic too.
