Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[World's Most Intense Film]

When I first looked at this, I thought it was just going to be a bunch of blank spaces at first. I guess I'm glad it wasn't. It's hard to really know what to say about this. I had no idea you'd actually show most of that. You did eventually stop the film before he reached the end. There could have been something really cool happen at the end when that happened.

This music just suits everything so well. The turtle himself is drawn in a fairly good manner. He seems much like any other turtle. The grass is nice and green. You should have done it until he got to the other side.

Kwing responds:

I'm glad you liked the music.

[Raw Latex]

I agree with most people that this is one of the best flash submissions ever made. I think it's mostly because I have no clue what's going to happen next. I thought that kid was just going to get himself raped at one point. I found myself rooting for him when he used his pickle. You know, I think I understand what a strap-on is. The funniest part was when the dad said he would fuck his wife again.

The voices and animation are absolutely fantastic. I get a feeling this is something that's going to change the world. Or at least this website. These really are good characters. It really isn't that silly and has actual character development. Yes, it's a sick world too.

Sexual-Lobster responds:

finally, 5 stars from ericho! after years of striving, of bitter disappointment, finally, five stars from the master reviewer. i am humbled.

[Newgrounds VAC 10 Awards!]

Okay, my main complaint with this is that it goes on too long. I think it's the longest thing I've ever watched on the website since this new format was made. I appreicate you wanting to pay tribute to so many talented people. It's just that there should have been more motion. I know it's not about animation, but it would have been more entertaining. The voices are of course wonderful.

My favorite presenter was of course RicePirate. Speaking of prolific people, why wasn't Rina-chan involved in any of this? I don't see TomAto either (or however you say his name). I couldn't remember most of these flashes. As I have reviewed so many, I thought I would.

JaShinYa responds:

Yeah the video was actually a very last minute decision so the artist really pushed it out as fast as she could. We're planning on doing this again for the next contest, but will have a lot more prep time and therefore better stuff! Rina and Tomamoto weren't asked to do this because they never were involved with the contests (at least not since I've been doing them). Ricepirate entered in VAC7 and is obviously a great talent and all around cool guy as well which is why he was in this. Thanks for the review and I hope you like it better next time around!

[Clockwork Gentleman]

The only complaint I have with this is that the CGI does look a bit bad at times. I still have to say this is an awesome cartoon. You really have no idea where it's going. I had no clue it was going to take such a dark turn given the title. Why would this guy give sentience to a robot body he would take over? I especially love the end where he just falls out like that.

I suspected that this would not end well. The robot's head kind of looked like C-3PO. I just freaking love spider legs. It's a kind of design that I've been fascinated with my entire life. I can see why this is on the front page before passing judgement.

Marcomatic responds:

I am sorry the CGI looks bad at times. I promise to make the 'CGI' gooder next time...

[Chocolate & Sweets]

Wow, the second music video I've seen from you with no bodily fluids! It just seemed like a very nice tribute to something that so many people enjoy. I think the best part is how you show all these different brands. I haven't even heard of that one with the blue and white wrapper. I always try to get a different candy bar when I go out. It's something I've always done.

You just have such a nice voice with this. Or did someone else do the audio? You're so popular here it makes sense you'd be on the Top 50. It's just a nice and cute little song. I do like chocolate and sweets as much as the next guy.

koit responds:

My friend, I always do my audio :)

Where's this top 50 of which you refer ?

[We live in the sea]

I was very impressed by this. It's the first cartoon you've made all year that didn't involve bodily fluids of some kind. Well, there was this squid that bursted out ink at the end. Anyway, it's just nice to have a really pleasant cartoon like this. All of the animals look like they're having so much fun. I thought the submarine might come and kill everything, but I was gladly wrong!

I don't think I have seen the original "Nature" song. I didn't need to in order to truly enjoy this. I live near the beach, so this appeals to me. It's nice to have such an upbeat cartoon. I hope to see more positive cartoons like this from you.

koit responds:

:) Oh yes - thing is, I have to pander to my audience for the most part. But occasionally I like to reset the filth-ometer.

Ah go and see the Nature Song, it's equally as cute I think.

[Dan The Man Stage 7]

Dude, you're on a freaking roll with Daily Features! Of course, it's been done with people like chulaid. I really like the animation in this. My only complaint is that the main battle begins after it's over. My gosh, what kind of submission will beat 4.66?! You're probably going to set some new record.

It's interesting to see the story advance. I have not seen all the entries, but it's easy to see where this is going. Some of the stuff is just weird, like the daydreams. I admit that it's quite unpredictable and you're obviously eager to see what happens next. The little sounds are funny too.

StudioJOHO responds:

thanks for the feedback. yeah ive been pretty blown away by the responses and the daily features. You'll probably need to watch the earlier eps to see what the speech bubbles are about...that would take some explaining... as for the main battle, stage 8 (the ep and game) will cover all that, its gonna be large
