Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Rise of chaos episode 1]

I thought you did try to have more of a story than some of your other work. What I didn't like was how this just seemed to go on too long. There wasn't even a single action scene! Don't get me wrong, emotional stuff it good too, but it just doesn't add up to much here. I did think the music was pretty good. I think the sprite work is alright, but it doesn't really go anywhere.

Maybe the finale with the action will make up for this. This was okay, not something I would recommend. There should have been more movement and better written text. I can see how you were influenced by SMBZ for this. Alvin-Earthworom was actually inspired by Kirbopher's TTA series.

Punisher33 responds:

This is going to slowly lead up to the action scenes sense it's going to be explaining origins. not much action right away. it builds up to it. trust me. episode 2 is gonna be crazy insane. and very involved.

[Madness HAXimation]

I thought the animation was fairly unique. It is kind of disappointing to watch a Madness cartoon and not have a single person die. I was wondering what they meant by XP. I thought maybe it was code for some drug, but I realize it was just the kind of XP that we talk about on this website. It was pretty funny at the end with how they just danced like that. I need to get more used to recognizing Sanford.

I know the other one is called Deimos, but they're not that well known. It would be so much more awesome if there was some action in this because everything looks so nice in this cartoon! The music is really cool, especially on the intro. The menu is also very nice. Just make it longer with action, okay?

Hank-Wimbleton responds:

wow, such an amazing review. i think i might cry.

would hank, sanford and deimos having a threesome count as action? too soon?

[The Elephant in the Room]

This is the only NATA submission I've reviewed that had dialogue in it. I wonder why? I guess music videos are just more popular nowadays for letting the action tell the story. The end of this was extremely satisfying. What I thought was going to happen was that the guy was going to start having the elephant in his room. That kind of happened, just not the way I expected it.

I laughed out loud at the joke about the guy's wife. Seems kind of crass for me to do that. Anyway, I guess I'm done with NATA and it's great to see how different people contributed to this idea. The animation could have been better, but it was funny enough to really like. I love how it all works out in the end.

koit responds:

Yay, thanks for the review. I like it not because it was positive, more to the point it was a review !

Thanks though and I'm glad you did enjoy it. :)

[Olifant]

This was a wonderfully animated cartoon, even though I couldn't understand it. It looks like it was trying to come off with some message about yourself, possibly. Is this you how see yourself? As a elephant who minds his own business while weird people do stupid things around you? Whatever it was, congradulations on getting popular with this for the first round of NATA 2012. You even made the sign logo!

The sounds are pretty good in this too. I don't think elephants drink out their noses per se. Of course, this is a cartoon where gray people change their shapes and stuff, so it's probably nothing to be too concerned about it. That drinking sound still goes after the cartoon ends. He must be thirsty.

DieterTheuns responds:

Idea was keeping it very open for interpretation. Basically, any symbolism you see in it is right. Thanks for the review :)

[Parallel Memories: Ep 1-1]

DUDE, this is the longest flash cartoon I have EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE! You say this goes on for like thirty minutes, but it's a lot more than that! This thing goes on for a whopping FOURTY-ONE MINUTES!! I guess the only reason this hasn't gotten more views is because it just seems to never end. At least you are getting the recognition you deserve by it having such a high rating! I honestly had no idea where this thing was going!

For the first ten minutes, I was a bit bored, because it didn't seem like anything special. As the longest flash cartoon I've ever seen, it played just like an actual movie, with its drama being built after that time. Unlike Sonichu, you've created a Pikachu video game hybrid who's actually cool. Loved the part at the end where you were talking about how it didn't make sense. I think the second longest flash cartoon I've ever seen is "Super Mario Bros. Z Ep 7" which was forty minutes long. This is a monumental achievement!

Pienkaito responds:

Wow, thanks for the praise and your time for writing this review.

[Drawn Together~]

I'm not quite sure why, but I think you reminded me of LittleKuriboh. It's just that he proposed to his fiancee online. I know that didn't work out very well for him, but hopefully, you've truly found love. While not as good as some of your other stuff, it's still great to look at. It seems like there's always something moving in this cartoon. You look like the Team Fortress 2 guy now that I think about it.

I love how this has such a cheery feeling to it. We all wish to impress people we know even if we disagree with what they think and certainly a fiancee would qualify. It's great to know you are getting on in life. It's something everyone can admire. I hope you have a great relationship with your fiancee.

Zeurel responds:

I proposed a year ago, this is jus a little something to show at our wedding in 2 weeks time

[The Noob Adventures Episode 9]

It's amazing how you've gotten so many awards with this series. Not a single bad episode have you ever made! Anyway, I thought this was really cool because of the animation as usual. I'm thinking that the NPCs (if that's what they are) were supposed to represent the Native Americans or something. The best part was probably when the one guy mentioned Rene Descartes. I honestly don't think I knew how to pronounce that guy's name.

Good thing I'll always remember it was him who said that phrase. It's cool to have a pig in this. Every one of these seems to ends on a cliffhanger with more enemies approaching. A pity I can't remember these characters' names well. It's still a great series.

Falconer02 responds:

Thanks alot, man!

[BEEBO part 11]

I think this might not be as good as your previous installments, but this was still really nice. What I really like is how you have this crazy style of animation. Dude, every celebrity died in the past couple of years. Anyway, it was great to see Beebo back even if he didn't do much. Of course, cats really don't do that much except meow and stuff. It was funny to see those dumb looking cartoon characters get stabbed and shot up.

Come on, they just look so stupid they deserve it. The voice work is as good as ever. It really did make you wonder who the killer was and I wasn't expecting Patrick Swayze. I praise the nonsensical nature of this, always good in an NG submission. I don't know who most of these live action faces belong to.

fabulous999 responds:

Politicians, serial killers, random strangers. I just pick random pictures of people usually.
