Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sublo and Tangy Mustard - Shopping]

I thought this was very sweet! It was great to see them talk about going out of their costumes. They never take them off. I thought it was heartwarming how they got gifts for each other. It was nice to have Katy there too. I was amazed at the backgrounds.

At first, I thought it was like live-action photographs. It really looks very convincing. I love how stylistic a mundane setting can look. It wasn't too long or short. It's just a nice little Christmas gift!

Aaron-Long responds:

thanks, I was worried it would be too short haha. and glad you liked the BGs, they're photographs I painted over. That felt like a naughty cheat but it was necessary to get the cartoon done before Christmas and I think they turned out ok-ish.

[Tyhond // Decorate]

The Most Prolific Reviewer? I'm the most prolific reviewer! Well, I'm still behind XwaynecoltX. Anyway, this was pretty good. I thought the background was just fine. It was like a checkerboard.

The pink is brighter, but not as good. It still ended up being a good cartoon. The short length was what it was supposed to be. It's just not a great cartoon for me. I like how this character is green.

Tyhond responds:

Oh thanks :> Well it seemed like I've improved according to you so that's a win!

[the Quest of Ms. Pac-Man]

Dang, I didn't know this could get so complicated. It started off being authentic to the game, but then just got absurd. I doubt this is all from the game. I love how there's no dialogue. Once again, it's very authentic to the game. Who knew Ms. Pac-Man could have this much character development?

Everything is just so nicely colored. You get a sense of true hard work put into this. I will admit it is too long. You probably could have cut some stuff out. It's still a very enjoyable cartoon.

HOwLiNG-MAdFoxHatter responds:

Am glad you enjoyed it ^ ^

Funnily enough, a lot of elements from the toon are from different Pac-Man games, the main elements are loose adaptations of mechanics from Pac-Man Arrangement, World 2, and a few hints of World 3.

Threw them in to spice up the story so it wouldn't fully be a retread of the original toon from years back

[Dr. Good's Christmas Special]

Wow, I didn't know Dr. Good did Christmas stuff. I was surprised by how vulgar it got. Well, it's been too long since he appeared. That's one big boobed woman on the poster. The main focus is of course on the shorts. Dr. Good really made it this time.

My favorite is the Tom Fulp one. It was quite heartwarming. I haven't seen some of those characters in a long time. The bloody snowman one was pretty freaky too. The krampus is getting more recognized all the time.

DannyGoodShirt responds:

lol Dr Good gets silly for Christmas.

[Tyhond // Cat]

I hate to admit this, but I thought it was just okay. I didn't like how small it was. The cat's name is Pat? Yeah, I'm just kidding. It was just kind of boring. He patted the cat and that was it.

I wish there was a background too. This was at least one in good spirit. It was a bit funny near the end. The animation was mostly just okay. I like the character's design.

Tyhond responds:

All your points are fair but as a person who return from an Art Class after a critique final, you sound like my teacher giving me grades on how I do ToT (In a good way)

To be fair, I was kinda expecting low score from people like you so I understand xP

[Grating Simulator]

What the hell was this?! It was sheer insanity right from the first second! I of course loved it! Hey, I'm a fan of Animutation. I'm into insane things. I guess I liked it how everything worked out for them in the end.

The ear rape was pretty annoying. The colors were amazingly bright in this. My favorite part might have been the beginning where the guy was just smashed into red stuff. It was almost like something from Sexual-Lobster on LSD. Thank you for all the hard work put into this insane cartoon!

Magibauble responds:

in my defense it was called "grating simulator"


thanks for the review haha

[Jet Set Radio - Sweet Soul Showdown]

Wow, this really was a great cartoon! It had simply amazing animation. My only complaint is that it did look a little weird sometimes. It's still fantastic. I'm glad that guy got in trouble for kicking that dog! It would have been even more effective if it was a cat.

The colors are so unique and the linework is amazing. The characters stand out pretty well. I can see why this got featured at the top of the page. It's quite a unique little world. All this for a submission for a collab?!

tofokyo responds:

Thank you for the thoughtful review! And yes this was only made for a collab, but bro I HAD to give Jet Set the respect it deserves 😭

[facu's lythero animation]

That was pretty funny, although it was weird how it changed halfway. That was a pretty entertaining intermission, though. The best part was the opening with Rouge. That's a great Dr. Claw impression. About 15 seconds in, I knew it was something recorded from a game. I just assumed it was OneyPlays.

It turned out to be someone entirely new. It's great to be introduced to new people. That title just looks so weird. The animation seems to be intentionally bad. It's good for some silly laughs.

SomeApe responds:

Its not intentionally bad T_T

[We Love Cold War!!: The Anime (2023 Thesis Film)]

At first, I was thinking this was an intro. Instead, the whole thing wasn't an intro at all. The running time seemed just right. I appreciated seeing these bright colors. It actually kind of reminded me of "Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann". Something with the red and blue colors.

It was like a tamer "Miss Dynamite". It's been a while since we've heard of Sirkowski. It was definitely like a music video. Anything without dialogue or sound effects seems like one. It's just well put together.

Nicojian responds:

I haven't seen Miss Dynamite! But thanks for the review! I'll check it out. Yeah definitely I take more of a music-video like approach to my work. I cut up and change alot of the animatic timing depending on it. Hard part is that yeah music does tend to get a bit dull after 3 minutes, so I tried to switch it up and add alot of mini sound effects and foley to keep it more interesting. For the transitions, usually explosions work well to mask the interludes into the next song. Oh! And yeah love old Gainax stuff! I mean I hope it's obvious from my work that I love TTGL and Gunbuster so thanks for recognizing it!

[[Castle Crashers OVA] Pink Knight ni Aimasho]

Wow, that was very wholesome. I mean, that was seriously a very cute cartoon. I've seen so many of these VHS style Castle Crushers cartoons, but this was one of the best. It shows you don't have to be long to be good. This is a cute voice. The pink knight might be my favorite.

Hey, she got her own game here! It was an early one with medals. Those are indeed some tasty looking foods. You give the character depth in a short time. Sometimes simplicity works.

KokoroHatsaru responds:

Ofc theyve got their own game jdjxjdn the funny thing is that version of pink knight (mindchamber's game) is actually a girl, the canon and this one's gender are misterious, so that pretty much about them :], and yep, i think i took longer drawing the food xD
