Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Evangelion Collab]

Yeah, I never watched the Evangelion anime. I was surprised to see such a long collab and not have it be re-animated. Damn, we're getting such great stuff here lately! I've seen all the movies (up to a certain point) so I understand everything that's going on. Well, not the ending obviously. It's amazing how we always break new grounds here.

Hey, I get the title! It was hilarious from beginning to end. At first, I thought it would be every single episode, but this works just as well. We haven't had something here win all three main awards in a long time! The only thing that could have made it better is if you used footage from "A Sticky Night Of Love". Please look up that flash, it's one of the best ones ever submitted!

Thriftman responds:

Swag

[EpicBoyfriendPicoBattle(1).mp4]

Wow, I have to say I was pretty impressed by this. I thought it would be pretty generic at first. I should have paid attention to all the credits. Wait, were those there when this first appeared on the Portal? I don't know if that changes. I will admit the premise is kind of alienating.

It's still wonderfully animated. You use red and blue well. Oh, there's some white too, how patriotic! I can't keep up with all the pokemon. It's still very creative.

MicroBihon responds:

Dont worry, I cant keep up with Game Freak too
Thanks for the kind words!! ^^

[Homeward]

This was great, but it was too short! The characters reminded me of Teri from "The Amazing World Of Gumball". She's a bear made of paper! Well, these guys had more depth. Maybe not in both senses of the word. I guess with the white color, they kind of look like polar bears!

Teri doesn't, though. I didn't expect this to be move so fast. This was a very entertaining little cartoon. I'd like to see more developments. It did indeed tell a story.

SAMI-OURS responds:

I know her too. It's made of paper, but it's a very cute character. My character Sami has a similar shape, but as you said, it has a bit of a polar bear shape. It can be seen as warm ice cream. Anyway. My skills are still lacking, so it takes quite a long time to work with a running time like this. Still, someday I will make a video series with a story. Maybe wait till then!

[Hold Up, the Bonfire in Dark Souls does WHAT?!]

How is the rating not higher? This is really funny! I admit to never having played "Dark Souls" or know that much about it. Maybe you got your facts wrong about it? The animation was very interesting. It definitely looked good, but it was weird how it moved.

Well, maybe that was part of the joke. I just love your username. I loved explaining the Darth Maul joke. I mean, everything understands "Star Wars" jokes! At least I know enough about video games to be entertained by it.

Bobert-Rob responds:

Thanks! Yeah, I've been kind of cursed the past... well, SEVERAL years. I rarely get good press anymore, good publicity, anything. I'm trying to return to form with my work and this one definitely has hit closest to that. Newgrounds especially just expects more anime influenced action garbage. Not enough hentai, you know? I dunno. But to be frank, the score is one of the highest ones I've had in years, so I'll take it. Everybody's a critic. I'm just glad people are responding better to this one. Thanks for watching!

[House of Cosbys Cover Collab]

I have to admit that this was pretty short for a collab, but it's still quite good. I admit it's for only one real reason. The fact that anyone would want to make a House of Cosbys now would be hilarious in itself. That would be the worst thing imaginable. Well, maybe not. A house of Jimmy Saviles would be even worse.

I remember first watching this series. I had no idea it was made by the creator of "Rick And Morty". Well, "Rick And Morty" was based on a short pornographic film. That film actually looks more similar in animation to "House Of Cosbys". I guess combining that with porn makes sense.

[TNToy]

Hey, it was my brother's birthday yesterday! Anyway, this was absolutely hilarious. Welcome to becoming a cartoonist here! They're some of the most cartoonish stuff I've come across in awhile! The voices and tone just fit everything perfectly. I loved the credits where she got swept up.

Damn, I wish this was a series. I'd love to learn more about these characters and see this as a full fledged series. It certainly can become one. It's easy to tell that you're into bakertoons. It was kind of too short and one note, but still great.

PutukSpitsVenom responds:

Thanks for all the kind words!
Also Baker is a friend of mine, so you're not wrong!

[ToeJam and Earl - Third Leg]

Not one of your best, but still good. My favorite part was the animation. I mean, it was really fell set up here with good movements. I knew where that leg joke was going. I have in fact heard of ToeJam and Earl. They had platformers with everyone and everything in the 90s.

This was definitely funky. It was quite authentic to the original game. Well, from what I know of it. The animation, while fluid, did look a bit dated. I'm still happy to have seen it.

Bobert-Rob responds:

Well thanks! I mostly enjoyed the script because of the censorship line, to be honest. But the flow of the whole thing was good enough that i figured it'd be fun for a quick animation. Not cream of the crop by any means, but still fun.

Also, not sure what you mean by 'dated' in regards to the animation style. I'm trying new things all the time, not sure how it can look dated. I mean, I don't do that uber anime inspired everything-has-to-be-dynamic-camera-angles-and-action-movie-visual-porn that seems to be the trend, but I see that as a good thing. That crap gets old quick. Also I'm just one animator?

[TD-Festivities For The Restivities]

My only complaint is that I wish you would have gone into more detail about love. You know, like a specific girl you were talking about. Well, this was still amazing. I've never been part of a dorm like this. I've still always tried to be social. The parties just never got wild.

I've had maybe three glasses of wine in my whole life. I've never smoked. I've never even done the grabass thing. I'd love to see more detail about this, but it was still very heartwarming. I've just never been into really loud social gatherings.

Raziberry responds:

I wasn't too much of a party guy, either. I was normally just observing conversations, or enjoying the atmosphere, wishing I knew how to be engaging. I'm still not great at it now, but I enjoying being at parties regardless.
The specific girl I was talking about was the one sitting next to me, silly! She'll be back...

[Yullis vs Pish pt.1]

It's weird because I consider 4.20 to be the score that I have to review something (it's a habit). Now, I realize that's 420! Well, I liked this but didn't think it was great. The idea could have been more original. Maybe I'm just too used to stick figures. This was still very watchable.

I wish it didn't end that abruptly! It was starting to get real gold. The artwork is mostly quite good. I even like that "Dojo" logo shown in the beginning. Everyone else just likes it more.

MayruAnimation responds:

I agree, I didnt even do anything to build up the fight... I made a lot of mistakes in planning, that's one of the reasons I cut it into 2 parts and end it so abruptly, because I wanted to have a fresh start and do a better job for the second half!

[Solace: In Mind]

I have to admit that I wasn't following the plot that well. I thought it was just random stuff going on. I'm glad I understand it better. I can now appreciate how wonderful it is. It works great with its simplicity. It reminds me of "There She Is!!".

It's just something about rabbits. You can throw in cats too. Anyone can appreciate the gorgeous animation. You show off great colors too. I guess all silent cartoons like this are music videos.

9Hammer responds:

Kinda, yeah! I was contemplating on the idea of it being under an MV for a bit. And thank you!
