Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mehndi Laga Ke Rakhna]

Brilliant!

Few people make things that are inspired by Indian animation. It simply strikes me as strange because they make up like a fifth of the people on the entire planet! This was really good, because you sincerely cut the bullcrap and tried to do something really artful. I might be too cynical, I was expecting it to get dirty at the end. It does not matter if you do not know what the lyrics mean. What matters is that you have done a great tribute to a style of art that is seldom used on Newgrounds.

It feels like it could have been a bit more elaborate but it's so well detailed it doesn't matter. The best part would probably have to be the background. I do not need to imagine how long it took to make, because you showed us the progress you were on it. I guess we can use sounds as words for any language we do not understand. Looks like you started your year of animating off very well.

[Cube of Forgettyness-ish]

He's a moron

I have no idea why anyone would deliberatedly have their memory erased just so they could get it back by filling out a form. Of course, stupid characters in fiction can work. The best thing about this was easily the logo. That is like the most CGI logo I have ever seen on Newgrounds! If you guys made your entire submissions exactly like that you would be the most reverred people on Newgrounds! The animation itself was really good too.

It actually reminded me of the animation style by Asppro, only not quite as good. The background is great, it's just that the character designs could use some work. I understand this was just something intended to be short before you made something big. Congradulations on getting such a high rating, anyway. The voices were alright but the biggest problem was that there should be more of a punchline.

[Madness Ultimate Collab 4]

This really works

This was a cartoon that was really fun to watch and it amazes me how many of these collabs were made. I am guessing you guys make one a year for Madness Day or something? The only thing I did not like was that it seems as though you guys could have made more things unique to yourselves. This was still fun because there was a lot of detail put into this. If only there was a pause button, so I could go and write what was said in the signs. Anyway, it is really interesting to see what happens next.

What's nice is that you are not focusing on just one character from the series or any character from the series at all. It is even hard to tell at times who is supposed to be the main character of the sequences. I see this guy with a face gun down someone else and then get gunned down himself. It was also weird to see multiple versions of Hank. It would have help if you trimmed the credits a bit.

[Edbert and Otis ep. 11]

Could have been better

I do not like it how a single episode is shown in a single file. When you show all of them in one part, it works better because you can go around searching and eventually finding one you really like, even if by default. The best thing about this was the ending joke. I remember the bird crapping from previous episodes, but not the Titanic. You really created something unpredictable there. There were problems, such as how the artwork was not very good.

I guess that it was supposed to be cheesy, so I can not really blame you for that. When I do look at it at face value, I think it actually is better than what other lazy people make. It was certainly unpredictable all the way through. This entire series seem like it was intentionally make to be so bad it's good. I can neither give it a 0 or 10 and go right in the middle for its rating.

[Nightmare Madness Trailer]

Looks great

The best thing about this is that you really put something new in the Madness series by showing the bodies like that. The way they are all torn up and still come back to life is pretty unique. It just goes to show that this series' tributes can simply never end. Now it is just a trailer so there is not that much action shown, but it definitley makes you anticipate what is coming up. It was cool to have a second character show up. When you have more than one guy, it makes it a little more realistic.

Well, these are zombies so it's obviously not intended to be realistic. The way the camera works (well, I guess it's a cartoon so there isn't really a camera being used) is really cool. The best shot is of the second guy killing the zombie in the dark. The way the bullets hit the enemies are well done too. While this seems to have a story, I doubt it will matter much with the final product.

Deathisawesome responds:

Actually, I will put a LOT of effort into making a good story. And it won't be something you usually see, as I'm aiming to make it as unique as possible. And I'm glad you liked the camera-moves, as I will use those a lot to :)
Thanks for an awesome review :D

[Super Robot Fight !!]

What robots

This was a fairly good cartoon. At first, I thought it might be something really cheesy as judging by how the loading screen looked pretty unprofessional. It did get better once you got into the actual cartoon and showed the good animation. The biggest downside was that there was really nothing original about this as it's been done so many times before. Still, this is not to say it is not fairly decent. The animation reminds me of ZekeySpaceyLizard, whom I keep thinking of ever since he left!

You could probably use some more action going on, because while the animation was good it could have used some more effects. It seems like it would have worked better with sound effects instead of straight music. The themes you touched on were pretty standard. Next time, you could probably add some more detail like maybe some people in the background. The coolest part was when the evil robot used his gun arms.

[XD TV!]

Frigging XD

"XD" is the name of a channel run by Disney, although I doubt this was a reference to it. It seems as though I have uncovered a diamond in the rough, as this managed to be in the Top 50! Honestly, I thought this was pretty good but nothing that noteworthy. The animation is decent and everything else seems to sync up well. The problem is that the idea of a TV making things literally fly out is not that of an original idea. This is not to say it can not be used well of course.

Handle Bar P appears to be a running character in the cartoons you make. I doubt he will become a site mascot as there is not much that is unique about him. The best part was probably when he mentioned about the guy's voice going up. Seeing as how 3D is becoming more and more used, maybe this IS the next technology to use in entertainment after all! Try to work a little more on making jokes and a bit more detail.

[Pokemon Hunter Trailer]

Flawless!

It seems strange for me to give submissions a "10" when they are merely trailers, but this deserves it! In case anybody is not reviewing keep in mind that this does not stop until awhile. I think that this may in fact be the best animation I have ever seen regarding pokemon. I am SO looking forward to this next movie as I have little idea how it can even top the trailer! All of the characters seem to have so much emotion.

I do not really see how this is a "parody" because everything seems to be portrayed seriously. Whatever the purpose is, you give hope to true pokemon fans such as myself. I will defend this series forever and hopefully so will you. The best part is that you manage to give each character a distinct personality even though the time is short. Whatever you have, I sincerely hope you get better. The way these creatures just glide through the air and the city takes my breath away.

[Do Not Remove]

I have wondered

It's been so long since I've looked at that thing on my mattress I have forgotten how easy it is to make jokes about it. The thing is, I actually read the answer to that in a book. I do not remember exactly what it said, but I think it was okay to do it. It seemed like this was made for one of those color collabs that was something the site did awhile ago. Blue is one of my favorite colors, so I liked the shading. While not the most original of concepts, it still manages to be entertaining pretty well.

The best part was probably at the end with the guy squatting over the guy they shot so many times. It looked like he was trying to take a dump on him or something. Hey, they were nice enough to shoot him so many times in non-lethal areas! The drawings were good, it's just that you could have used more of a punchline. While not the greatest, this is something good for a quick laugh to watch.

thanks Ericho!
