Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Eight Bit Strange 4]

Very pleasing!

I am glad to be introduced to this new series that arrived on this website. The best thing is easily how flawless the graphics are. It's stuff like this that makes you not worry if more flash cartoons become CGI. It seemed like you used the models from the "Minecraft" game for this. I've been hearing of that game a lot on the Internet recently. The best part was probably at the end when everyone turned into a zombie.

You simply can not go wrong with an ending like that. It's great just to see Snake move so fluidly in this animation. It was also great how you included some artwork with how you modeled everything before going 3D. I guess you're too early for something Halloween related, but this was still good fun. It seems like something from a webcomic.

[VERDACOMB Trailer]

Now that's weird

This was a cool caroton even if I had no idea what was going on. The only thing I did not like was that the image resolution seemed way off. At least you still worked on an amazing trailer with a very original premise to it. I thought you were saying the names of video games at the beginning with "Grand Theft Auto". Gee, I guess I've heard about so many video games, I didn't even know that phrase had another meaning. The most visually pleasing thing is easily the orange thing.

I suppose that is supposed to be the "Verdacomb"? Most people just assume that the main character or thing in a work has the name of the title. This definitley seems like something that belongs at an art festival. I congradulate you on your success and can not wait for the whole thing to come out. The main character seems nice enough.

I had to lower the image resolution for NG only because of the 20mb limit. Otherwise the film is highest on my vimeo and YouTube. You can see the links in the authors comments above. As for the "Verdacomb" I'll only hint that it is the name of the society. The infrastructure and government and rituals are the Verdacomb. The orange thing is called an Orb Suit. Used in the game you see in the arena. There are four nations and each attempts to capture the middle white pillar in their corner. :)

[blue birdy's highs & lows]

It's awesome

Yes, it's basically the same thing over and over, but it was just fantastic to watch. I think this is probably the best animation I have ever seen you work on. The shading is completely flawless, especially with how these weird fellas just move around their environment. While the music might get irritating, it doesn't matter. It was great to see how you truly showed your depth perception. It was probably as much fun to watch the shadows as it was the birds!

They don't even seem like birds as they have no beaks. They look more like bizarre bubble gum creatures! It just goes to show that you will never stop bumping out amazing surreal stuff for all us loyal fans of yours to watch. My favorite is the one (or ones) who fly up and then get up and then fly up again, I think.

TheBoogley responds:

thanks again for your kind words mate!
yep, it's all about that middle guy with the ups and downs.
He can't decide what to do with himself... :)

[Madness Abrogation]

You did it again, of course!

You will simply never cease to amaze me how you keep making great flash after great flash in this series! I guess it's kind of gauche to say this is the best yet. While I missed Jebus, there was still plenty of fantastic action to spare. There are so many characters now it is hard to keep up with. I will say that this had the best animation in the entire series! It's especially cool to see the dark guy roam around like that. Dang, I forgot his name.

The visuals with Hank's arm and the electricity was awesome as well. Every second there was that ominous laugh and that great music! It kind of sounded like an elephant screaming for some reason. The most visually pleasing part was probably when he rose into that great tower. I knew he'd get more than he bargained for when absorbing Tricky. The swordfight choerography is flawless as well.

[Stone Trek: Episode 1]

So it starts!

You are a genius for merging two of the most popular franchises of all time! While I frequently watched "The Flintstones", I only saw the 2009 "Star Trek" movie, but that was one of my favorite movies. It's interesting how you combined elements from both shows. The flash works in kind of a pardoxical way because it's Stone Age and future technology at the same time. Wait, isn't that a description of Present Day technology? The colors and effects were amazing too.

It seems exactly like an authentic Hanna Barbara cartoon showing how much talent you guys have. The funniest part was the joke about him wearing clothes when it wasn't covering his ears. Everyone seems to be really in character in relation to the Star Trek show. You never know what to expect in these cartoons, like evil alien bees! It's a perfect blend of sitcom and science fiction.

[Pokemon But With Animals2]

Can't wait for Team Rocket!

Wow, I really have to give you credit for actually being able to pause things at the end to see what they said. I always have to look closely at the really tiny print if there is no pause button. This was easily better than the first, because it had a lot more great jokes. Really everything in this was a joke that worked well. In fact, probably the only reasons I didn't give it a 9 is because I am really eager for Team Rocket to appear. The funniest part was probably when Brock had those rocks for pokemon.

It makes you realize they aren't all based on animals. Another funny thing was when you were asking what race Brock is. A lot of people on the Internet have wondered that. I'm glad you also called attention to the fact that Professor Oak always pays more attention to Ash then his own grandson. The details all around are nice too.

[Goobers - Blueprint]

Nice little short

I kept hearing the trailer for "Yu Yu Hakusho" for some reason. At first I thought it was part of the cartoon, but I now find that likely. This was interesting because it shows what a wide variety of flashes you can work with. You have made so many it is now even difficult to discern a single style of yours. The hand holding up the brain I can recognize though. The best part was when you did that closeup of the goober's eyes.

While the animation all around was good, that was easily the best part. While it was a bit of an anti-climax, it was still very unexpected. You can't go wrong with death and destruction flying everywhere. It could have been a bit longer and maybe had some more detail like a background. It's still a decent cartoon, though.

mexipino responds:

Yeah, certain ads seem to act weird every now and then. Thanks for watching and for your review.

[Bunnie Swordman]

Decent

Congrats on winning a Daily 2nd Place. The thing that I did not like about this was how it was so short and it was a continuous loop. At least there was a decent amount of creativity and it should definitley please all your fans (such as me!). It was interesting how you worked on something completely your own. It wouldn't be the first time bunnies were killed, they do that a lot. We have some morbid fascination with them.

The sound was great in this and it really made you think you were right there in the action. The colors were great too as everything just moved so smoothly. The moving effects are nice too with how fast the bunnies swish across the screen. I like how one of the bunnies is wearing those cool shades. Happy Memorial Day too!

Hulalaoo responds:

We love u so much Ericho, never change

[KillrJapaneseSeizureRobts]

Couldn't get the point

The gameplay in this game was very incomprehensible. I knew that I controlled a ship of some sort, but nothing seemed to come out of this. Seeing as how it's not even called a game, I guess it isn't supposed to be one. The only thing that changed on the screen was the thing popping up saying to press OK if I did not get a seizure yet. That joke from "The Simpsons" was based on an episode of "Pokemon" you know. It least it has some flashy effects.

It makes me glad that I have not had a history of seizures. In fact, if you have not, then there's really no harm that can come from watching this or anything like it. It was a bit funny how you made the title without some vowels. The song isn't too bad but needs more. You need to have a lot more purpose than just faking seizures.

[Ball Sack Cat teaser]

John K. would be proud

It is interesting to see someone like you go on to try a distinct form of animation that few other people use. It is a bit hard to judge this because there is not much plot as it is only a teaser. What was interesting was that it does makes me realize how much an animal's face looks like a ball sack. When I first saw the cat, he seriously just looked like a regular cat. I do not, however, like that it was in in an infinite loop as it got a bit annoying. The whiskers do look like pubic hair.

I'm not someone who would be disgusted at seeing a cat get a blowjob like that. I expect anyone who's such a good pimp would get around like that. I liked the atmosphere created by this and the voice was really goofy. It's a funny voice that just sounds like it's trying to entertain itself. Non Halloween stuff submitted on October 31st unfortunately usually gets unnoticed.
