Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[[KK] heartbreaks]

Too bad

It looks like you didn't make a good tribute to your girlfriend. Then again, maybe by not making it good you mocked your former girlfriend. I wish I knew which of the many actors crediting for this is the one who lost the girlfriend. At least there were not as many credited people as other Kitty Krew flashes. You guys could use a lot of work with design, especially with putting a background in. There was barely any color in this too.

You should have put in a lot more detail in it and it moves too slowly. Try to make it so that the text moves across faster. The music wasn't half bad, but it goes on too long. It's weird how you are even able to get that low in image resolution and still manage to make something out. Actual movement with the characters' bodies would have made this a lot better, too.

NE SHUT TH FUCK UP U DONT NO N E THING ABOUT FLASH

[The Ness Collab]

He does beat everything!

This was really cool because the title did the cartoon so much justice! The most awesome thing about this was probably how easily he beat everyone. I am not that familiar with the "Earthbound" series, but this kid is awesome! I think the best battle was probably the one with Zero. The Hamtaro battle was also awesome and it's great to see Short-Factor assembling all these people. While it seemed mostly incomprehensible at first, it did develop a story as it went on.

The music and sounds were sweet as well. I can not even believe that the Caramelldansen meme has been around that long. This kid is just awesome and even though I know nothing about him, it's so great to watch him fight. Seeing so many different styles of animation is always interesting. Even the credits are pretty cool.

Short-Factor responds:

You are like some kind of crazy review happy juggernaut. Surprisingly, after reviewing all of my audio work, you review this years later. Well alright thanks its a good review, as yours are.
Do not relate the song to the meme. I just used it because I thought it was a hilariously strange fit.

[klik say happy clock day]

Nothing

Well, I think there may have been a mistake in this, because this appears to be a blank screen. It's too bad this got such a low rating on Clock Day. You could have at least made this Clock themed by putting some Clocks in it. I find it amazing that so many people managed to contribute to this. I didn't hear any voices or music, nor did I see anything at all. It seems a bit impossible for numerous people to work on a blank screen.

I suggest next time you try to submit something. I'm guessing it might have a loading error, but I think this is in fact what it's supposed to do, with just the blank screen. Hopefully, you guys can all work together to make something better next year. There are so many better things out there. I think this might even be my least favorite thing I ever reviewed.

ChandlerThompson responds:

Ouch!

[Green riding hood]

It's different!

I thought it was really cool to reverse the situation. I guess most modern tellings don't have a sexual overtone to it, although I'm not sure if it was in the original version. It wasn't really so much a parody as it was a nice piece of art. I have no clue why anyone wouldn't want to make out with a hot girl like that. Hey, I'm so desperate for a girlfriend I'd turn into a wolf to get one! I knew that the color would show a twist in the classic story.

The wolf girl herself was really cool in this one. She didn't want to eat anyone's grandmother or anyone, just show off her hotness. The music played throughout the cartoon was also really cool. The only part I didn't like was when he struggled with the ropes. The animation just seemed off in that scene, but for the most part, it was fantastic.

gusana responds:

Thank you!

[blobba blob blob]

Attack of the blobs!

Probably the only thing I didn't like about this was that it was not in color. Everything else was pretty much flawless. I loved how these monstrosities just turned into each other over and over. There are a lot of infinite loop submissions here, but yours are the ones that truly work the best. They know how to put order into what they do. It's the kind of thing you can look up at and always see new things.

The music is great, and the animation is wonderfully fluid. The cartoon itself sounds like something that would be in a zen riddle. When do these creatures start and when do they end? You do the surrealist community great credit with this awesome stuff. There's even quite a few variations in what they do. I hope you never lose your touch!

TheBoogley responds:

thanks again for yet another lovely and detailed review. Knowing that there are people like you out there enjoying my work really motivates me to create my best work. I plan to eventually colour this and refine the drawing, but this is the best I can do for this one month deadline.

[Cyberskull]

It deserves it!

Dude, you definitley deserve the reward for Daily Feature for Robot Day 2011! The coolest thing about this was the animation. At first, I thought it was kind of cheesy, but it definitley got better as it went on. You really went out of your way to put a lot of body movements into these ridiculous characters. If this was an actual thesis for school, I hope you passed with flying colors! It just shows you how a holiday can influence a person. It is the best submission I saw for this Robot Day, as you might have guessed.

The helmets looked a lot like the kind used in that game "Ching Chong" something. It's not as much about robots as it is about cyborgs. Of course, I'm being too picky because this is a fantastic cartoon! For those who haven't seen it, the final sentence contains spoilers. I imagined it would be real after all at the end, but not with the bird!

Nogfish responds:

thanks! there will be a sequel ;)

[psychedelic anti-drug PSA]

Anti-drug?

I guess this was supposed to be ironic, but I really didn't enjoy it at all. It just seemed to be unsatisfying with how it was just you talking with this weird effect. If it's anti-drug, it doesn't work, because it doesn't make me want to listen to. If it's a parody, it just seems too lazy. You should also try to put a "Play" button on it. Of course, I would be one to tell you how, because I don't know how to do that or really anything else.

The only thing that was cool was that it was pretty creative. Creative effects, however, do not always make something good. I hope this could be used as a way to see how you could improve yourself. Your voice is also a tad annoying, although I guess it was just supposed to be silly or weird, which worked. It also goes on forever.

SamuraiClinton responds:

If there was some software to use other than SUPER(C) where I could just prop a preloader on, I wouldn't have this issue of not having a way to put on a preloader.

[Second Chance]

Could have been better

Congradulations on getting the cartoon used for Robot Day 2011 (the new one at least)! This probably had the best animation of anything I've watched today. The downside was that it really seems like it led to an anti-climax. It just seemed like it was getting so good with putting an emotional side to it. At least the main robot managed to achieve his goal. The lack of dialogue also put a really good artistic tone to this, even if it wasn't that well done.

The coolest part was probably when everything was getting blown up! I didn't understand it, but it was awesome! It makes me wish there had been more of a climax with a big battle. Still, this seems to have the highest score for anything on Robot Day and I think it will win Daily Feature! And who says robots can't feel emotion?

hrechkaness responds:

Thank You for the honest review! I would have liked to expand more on the story but I ran out of time if I wanted to get this in for Robot Day. With that said, I am so thankful that this is being so well received. I may expand on this in the future or maybe make pt.2 for next years Robot Day :D Cheers!

[SMRPG Waltz of the Forest]

Who's Geno?

Yep, I knew that you were the guy who made this. The sad thing is that I know next to nothing about Super Mario RPG as it's one of the few Mario games I've never played! The thing is, I am actually not a fan of RPG's, but Mario's my favorite video game series! It really goes to show how many different styles he can use. It was great to see such a wide variety of characters, especially with how you drew them. You have true artistic talent.

The only thing I know about the game is really from the stuff you've made. Everyone looks so three-dimensional in this. The best part is probably when you show off the map of it so you can get a clear picture of what you're dealing with. Psyguy has a very sweet voice in this too. Congradulations on completing college and have a wonderful life!

Kirbopher responds:

Psy never sang in this song.
