Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Chinese Poison Toys]

That was freaky!

Wow, this is a great submission because of how sweet the animation was! It was kind of like Cuboy, only even better. I especially love how there are just so many things going on. The only problem is that it really is pretty hard to keep up with the fast lyrics! At least some of them are written onscreen. It's just great to see how well dimensioned these characters look in this. Every person seems to be protruding from the scene itself.

It just goes to show how much variety you can use. I'm not going to say it was related to Christmas because it had toys in it. It works great as a satire, which kind of makes me glad that I am beyond the age of buying toys. Hopefully, we will all grow up soon enough. The voice acting was great, particularly with how it seemed to echo.

vakavadesigns responds:

Hey thanks. It's good to get feedback from someone who's made so many reviews :) Man, the style's kind of hard to get used to. It's very geometric and would be easily left that way, but I tried to add some flexibility and motion in the movements. Next time I'll do better, although I can't imagine when I'll have time for a new one.

Hopefully the visuals help explain the lyrics and vice-versa. I'll try to put the lyrics up soon. I agree, it's not specifically about X-mas, but it fits very well as far as timing. It contrasts well with the "buy buy buy" b.s. that we're hammered with at this time of the year.

Lead and mercury, man, crazy stuff. It dulls the mind and can even make people act insane if the contamination goes too far. If it acted fast like in the animation, I think a lot more people would be aware of it.

[Invasion of nemisis Ep1]

Has its ups and downs

Well, I'm proud to give this the highest rated review so far. I think the thing I enjoyed most about this was how good the sprites were. My problems are that the moving sprite work wasn't that impressive. It also seemed a bit boring, as I expect more action in something like this. It reminds me of Kirbopher's TTA with the dialogue boxes. It seems like you could also have more reason for what's going on.

I actually think Dragonball Z/Sailor Moon is the most popular fan crossover there is. There's even more fanfics of it than Digimon/Pokemon. You could be a bit more clear on what's going on. It just kind of seems like you have mashed these characters together with little rhyme or reason. You can always have room for improvement of course.

Punisher33 responds:

Personally though/ I am not trying to really fallow trends, i'm trying encourage people to upload and do there own stuff. and as for the text, i used text boxes for the simple fact i don't really know how to get the text to match the characters with it being confusing i'm trying to do a good thing by basically telling people not to give into peer pressure and release what you want. that's what i'm hoping to do.- that's why i don't fallow trends. and i'm not looking to make one, all though i hope it gets popular.

[Waiting for redesign]

It was everywhere!

Wow, this was hard to judge because there were just so many things going on. I could swear that there were different people who were working on the animation. If not, then I have to give you credit for being so awesome! The best part about this was probably the animation. I also love how Tom goes insane at the end and kills everyone. As the guy in the building said, it was bound to happen sooner or later.

It's funny, because I was interviewed today and asked about what I thought about the redesign. It's not something that's on my mind. It will happen eventually, as I have noted the different designs we have gone through. It looked like it was heavily influenced by LazyMuffin. I am surprised it only has a score of 3.35.

MihaP responds:

Thank you and yeah i was the only person working on animating this.

[Cat vs Mankey episode 2]

Quite unique

This was a very strange entry for Newgrounds. It was actually not that bad, but it just confused me so much. I guess it doesn't help that I am in no way familiar with the first episode in the series. Still, it's nice how you seemed to have really created your own weird world with this submission. The special effects are actually good. I was thinking the monkey would be a Mankey (from Pokemon) but I don't think he was.

I especially love how there's this big cat doing all this silly stuff. It probably helps that I am such a huge fan of cats and like anything with them in it. I guess you could make it so that there's more of an ongoing story. Whatever the intention was, it's definitley something out of the ordinary. You have brought something new to the table.

jackbliss responds:

Ha i read your review few times. Each time I read i realize how right u r. I do live in a weird world and it's awesome that I can share it's weirdness to all of you here. Thanks for the review and hope u follow the series :)

[I can't fap to this...]

Meow meow meow

Wow, that was a pretty bizarre submission, even by you. I think it might be the first really good submission I've seen that existed on an infinite loop that wasn't a music video. Were you just not able to make it normal this time? Whatever the cause, the artwork is just fantastic is this. I especially love the way the cat just meows over and over while he's dancing. No wonder videos that like are popular on the Internet.

It got its funniest probably when he mentioned putting on the duck suit. Yes, we all have our sick fetishes. The coloring, while gray, was interesting as it set a sort of old tone. It's weird for something older to have the Internet on it. The voices are nicely synched and I also liked how you really didn't know what was going to come next.

Sexual-Lobster responds:

thanks ericho. surely we don't ALL have our sick fetishes.

[C H A O S]

You do punish

Well, you seemed to live up to your name, because I didn't enjoy this much. I think its main flaw is that it simply goes on forever. I don't know what you did, but this is in the Top 50 of all time! I almost have to give you credit for whatever you did to get such a high score! Anyway, the most annoying thing is probably the sound. It seems like this would have been more enjoyable if it was more organized as nothing seemed to make sense.

I was afraid the whole thing would just be that loading animation. You seem like you have the potential for something better, just put more effort into it. I guess it is technically a music video, just a really nonsensical one. You have obviously made some interesting things, but you need more uniqueness to be popular. The tune isn't that bad, I guess.

Punisher responds:

You absolutely missed the entire point, as usual.

You are a fucking idiotic faggot, & I hope you die within the hour.

[THE CROSS pt.2 of 2]

Mostly good

Okay, I have to admire this because it did seem like it was trying to send off a good message. The best part of it was probably how good the animation was. I'm not really a person that into dogmatic beliefs. It is still nice that you seem to sincerely want to help people in any way that you can. I don't understand God, but I do believe he exists. It's just that I find his abscence to be more weird than his prescence.

This was pretty catchy, with how you put everything in song. You didn't seem to come off too preachy. I am glad that you have good intentions on your mind, even though you know there are going to be people who disagree with you. The best thing is for us to keep being good people any way we can. It's a lesson we can all learn.

nahtanojmal responds:

Hey thankyou. And congrat's for being 5th on the top reviewers

[ASuperMarioBrosQuicky6]

Happy New Year!

Judging from the low score, I was afraid it was going to be something relaly bad. This really isn't that terrible. I especialy liked seeing all those random cartoon images at the end. My gosh, it's been the longest time since I saw Banana Man in action. I guess old memes just go away, huh? When it made the transition to a white background, I thought it was just going to be over with a cheesy display, but it really wasn't.

Of course, I still can't give this credit for being that creative. I just didn't seem to understand why this was all happening. I guess the ending loop remind me of those bad flashes by the Kitty Krew and other spammers. Just try to make it so that stuff like this has a definite end, because then it can come off as spammy. It's not terrible again.

Mario8th responds:

Well, it's actually a throwback to Yoshi's Island, if you've ever played it, those wight puff balls make your vision all fuzzy and crazy, so I made it be drugs.
And it does end, I was just stupid and used the whole song XD

Anyway, glad you enjoyed it!

[re:defined - Throning]

How dirty and stinky

Well, I thought this would be better, but it just seemed to be too short. I guess the problem is that it was just talking about stinkiness. I mean, that is funny, but it seems like you would need more for a single submission. I am glad that I was introduced to this, because it was nice to hear what that word meant. All this time, I thought it had something to do with being a king. Maybe it's just being used in a different context here.

I did like the music that was used. It's pretty cool when you manage to have three seperate songs being used for something when you don't even have a flash that's over a minute long. Toilets are a good source of humor. My brother used to sit (and kind of still does) on the toilet all day like that. I hope he doesn't develop hemorrhoids.

RicePirate responds:

this will be the last single submission ... in the future, if i submit more, it'll be a compilation of words.

[Rock beats]

I've wondered that too

I think I might have heard audio like this before, but it's really very well done. It is a question that I have always been thinking of. If rocks are strong enough to destroy scissors, then shouldn't they be strong enough to destroy paper? It's kind of a Catch-22 or rather, an avoidance of it. It's a system where you need to have different things that add up to each other, but they don't do it very well. I guess it simply has to be done to work in a game like this.

I loved your cute little panda avatar at the end. It was also great to see all of those fantastic pictures you showed throughout the cartoon. Your voice is just so perky in this and you get a great sense that you had tons of fun making this. There is just always something going on or showing off in this cartoon even if it's still images. Thank you for something so nice!

AntonyC responds:

Sweet!
You're more than welcome. ^^
Thankyou!
