Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Contra Rampage]

Woah, good

This is a great cartoon because it takes pride in how stupid it is. When I first looked at it, the animation looked pretty bad. I now realize that it was obviously the point to be extremely ridiculous and nonsensical. I just love seeing these idiots go around with these insane body movements. The animation is great because of how there's just so many things flying around and stuff. The coolest part was probably with the peanut butter gun.

The voices are also great because they're just as insane as the rest of the cartoon. You have a talent for crazy voices. These enemies are just so easy to kill with one being clumsily ripped in half. It just looks like there's crazy stuff going everywhere in every direction that you can't keep track of! You don't need to, because this is hilarious!

I'm surprised you seen the peanut butter gun mag, hehehe. This was a crazy cartoon. Thanks for taking the time to watch and and give it a full review.

[Spooky Halloween Song]

Fun for something short

Congradulations on having your cartoon be the preview image for the Halloween 2011 collection! This was pretty good because the animation was nice. The best part was when you mentioned how you could watch TV, and then showed a TV watch. I imagine we'll have those eventually. It's funny how you have such a silly voice in this and at the same time it sounds kind of tired. It could be longer, but overall it's a decent effort.

It's probably the submission I've seen that has had the most to do with Halloween. Stuff about zombies, vampires, etc. isn't necessairly about Halloween. I wonder if the "Twilight" people would get more publicity if they released their movies on Halloween? I hope you have a good one this year. Candy corn is one of my favorite kinds of candy, so it was great to see so many of it.

Bill responds:

Hahaha thank you for the great review!

[SNAPSHOT: Vol 1]

It gets better

This cartoon doesn't start out that strongly, but it does get a lot better. Let me say that the thing he did with the gun was one of the coolest things I have seen in awhile. You probably should brush up on animation skills. It's just that it does look a bit dated. I still have to recommend this because it truly does have a lot of original ideas that are performed well. I'm not familiar with this character, so I had no idea he was going to be that cool.

When he shot the last guy I couldn't help but say, "Goodbye" out loud. It's going to get even more interesting with the giant robot appearing. It's great having no idea where this series is going. It's the highest rated thing on the portal now, so I see it going places. The music was also good and set up the nice action tone.

QuasimodoxArt responds:

Thanks for the detailed review.

The character is basically the same guy from my last animation "SNAP SHOT" on NewGrounds, but I modified his appearance just a little since there were a lot of people think he looks like the main character from a famous anime master piece... (I personally don't see the resemblance though... ) Anyway, more plot will be revealed in the next episode... To be continued! :)

[Chris Missed]

Hmm, not terrible

I thought the animation in this was pretty good. I especially liked the part at the end where he's being hit by the snowballs. It was a bit weird to see the snowballs apparently outlined in blue. What I didn't like was that it wasn't too elaborate and didn't have much to make it stand out from anything else. It's just that I have reviewed literally thousands of submissions, I always look for something more colorful. I did think it was pretty funny at the end when he was killed by the lawnmower.

I was thinking this was going to end in a violent way. When the kid dodged the truck, I thought you were going to subvert it, but indeed you went back to violence. Don't worry, that's what this website is all about! At least it managed to make it into Christmas 2010. This could have also been longer for having more jokes.

ToonCastleTV responds:

frame by frame animation takes a very long time, so this was all I had time to do. I don't think the blue outlined snowballs really matter lol - atleast you enjoyed it though, I'll keep at her definitely

[Milk of the Manwhore]

This is f*cked up

I guess I was thinking this would be a music video. At least I am more familiar with the main character to the point where I recognize the ridiculous tone. The weirdest part of this would have to be how the man has elastic nipples. I can't understand what's going on, but it's still extremely funny and very nicely done. The animation is great, especially with how the eyes are purple. It's a shade I rarely see.

I was thinking the yogurt was going to be made from his own milk. It seemed like that was the only line that wasn't crossed in this video. The voice acting is great as always, with a perfect sense of emotion put to everything. Everybody just moves around in such a funny and silly way. It's great that you keep making this great stuff!

Sexual-Lobster responds:

thanks ericho!

[The Noob Adventures Episode 4]

Best yet!

It's great to see this series take off, as this is the best one you have released. The funniest part was easily when the guy got slapped for asking if girls played Minecraft. Hey, I was wondering the same thing. It's amazing how much dimension you manage to have in your works when it's not that well detailed. With nothing but blocks, I imagine it would be hard to move around. While not as high quality as Cuboy probably, it still works well.

I am eager to see if they succeed in killing Gaylord. It's interesting how the one character was making a Sonic replica just like a sprite because everything is blocks. It was pretty shocking to see that girl die. A score of 4.50 and there are two submissions today that are even higher?! You got unlucky, but you should still the proper recognition.

Falconer02 responds:

Thanks! And it's a good day for NG! Lots of awesome stuff coming out. I really don't care much about the trophies and whatnot-- I just like to hear what people have to say :)

[StrawberryClock's Story]

Nice preloader

Oh, I am rather glad that it was not just the preloader, although that would have been nice. The problem with this is that it doeosn't have any sound in the cartoon itself. I can still tell there was some nice effort put into making the preloader. The song can get a bit irritating when it goes on for such a long time. It was also nice of you to have more than just the same image over and over. This is the Clock submission for 2011 that has the highest rating of one I have ever reviewed!

I'm surprised this didn't win Daily Feature. It seems like there could have been more really popular Clock flashes this year. I hope you guys do not dwindle out of popularity because you have at least made some good things. It looks like you guys had some of the best Clock Days for 2011 given your score! You will still always be better than the Kitty Krew.

Senmetsu responds:

Ericho... The greatest honor I've received on NG was having you review this movie.

Thank you for showing support, I am blushing like crazy.
