Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Three months madness]

Happy Madness Day 2020! Well, this is the lowest rated this year. I honestly didn't think it was terrible. I think it's really bad, but not terrible. It at least had some uniqueness. It was obviously too short.

I can at least see where you got your thumbnail from. That's understandable. It was kind of unpredictable. That isn't always good of course. There's always room of improvement for you or anyone.

[JAILBREAK: Fall of Helios - TEASER TRAILER]

Aww, I feel bad for all you guys. There were so many great Madness cartoons this year, they couldn't all win awards! I'm sure you're all at least happy for the high score. I expected the whole cartoon to be like the thumbnail. Two minutes is actually pretty long for a trailer. The designs aren't bad.

I remember the hot dog guy. He actually survives the series, I think. I know that character breaking out of jail. With all the Madness cartoons, it's hard to keep track of everyone. Great title too.

JollyBag responds:

Don't worry! We didn't expect an award, really, specially since this is merely a trailer of the full project we're working on. And yeah, two mins was kinda long, but we wanted to show stuff, and we had already done the OST for this trailer haha.
This isn't exactly the same hot dog guy from the series, since this is a different universe where things are happening, however I like to think that this guy is the equivalent to said character. His name is Harold btw <3 thanks for the nice words, mate!

[Madness Combat Anime Opening]

I admit that at first I was disappointed that it didn't seem to show any anime like characters. I was so surprised! It did look uncanny, but it was still great. I knew I was in for something awesome. Glad you included the original designs as well. It's hard to show details in these characters.

I mean, they literally have no faces! I feel bad for not being a fan of "Jojo's Bizarre Adventure". I didn't even know it was that popular on the Internet! Whatever, this is still amazing. Certainly an instant classic. You can do practically anything with Madness. Wonderful to know it's still around.

TarKade responds:

Now that's the moment when even Madness Combat became a JoJo reference.
We live in a bizarre times clearly.

[Madness Redeemer 2: Revenger]

That was great, but it could have been better. It's mostly because it seems pointless to make a sequel to "Madness Redeemer". There already is one! Still, it's very nice. It was cool to see the Sheriff in action. Wow, that character really was in action.

I believe the body count was 65. Yeah, I'm trying to count more. Hard to keep up with all the Madness cartoons now. I am so glad this series is still around. There was a lot of text and you can pause it for yourself to read.

Lelokayl responds:

yeah, first one goes "wann anal sex?" and everyone do it, this is kinda pain in the ass u kno

[Dusk of the Madness: OVERTIME]

Wow, what a freaking high score! I thought I had seen all the great submissions for Madness Day 2020 on the day of it! I believe the body count was 61. I often try to count those things. I knew it would get more action later on. You really did want character development.

A plot was important too. I'm so glad I remember this story! Well, I remember the ending at least. I'm still probably going to say "Deimos Is Dead" was my favorite submission. It takes so much skill to make a long cartoon as well.

LittleLuckyLink responds:

I counted 81, but admittedly fell short towards the end. Thank you!

[ANAKIN Chp 6: Go Pod Racer Go!]

This really should have a higher rating. Okay, maybe some of the gags weren't that original. You even say "CLICHE!" at one point. I liked the jokes with the queen. They should put up an article for "Anti-Phantom Menace humor" somewhere. Maybe "Anti-Star Wars Prequels" humor.

It was pretty bold of you to submit this the same time as Madness Day. It should still be recognized. I like your goofy animation style. You've come a long way. Liked the cameos too.

squeakytoad responds:

Thanks for another thorough review!
I usually just submit these without thinking about the day since my Star Wars parodies don't make the front page anyway. The fans will still get alerted thanks to the awesome notification system Tom and team set up. :)

[The Celebration (Short)]

I can see why the score is so low. I probably say that too often. I guess it was unique? That doesn't mean it was good. I just wanted action. It wasn't really saying anything.

How this action? It was definitely comedy. People don't seem to label their genres well sometimes. I still wish you a Happy Madness Day 2020. Funny how September 21st was the first time I reviewed here.

Irishtoner responds:

Sorry, I Thought it's Action or Something like that.

[TD-Head Down Thumbs Up]

Was not expecting that sex scene. I mean, it should be rated A! Then again, it's still brief. Anyway, this was still informative. Great to hear about the virus from you. That really has affected everyone.

I've never...I probably shouldn't go into my personal life. This is a serious flash. Well, it is listed under comedy. The artwork was great here. Hey, it's (September) 20, 2020!

Raziberry responds:

haha well all I said about the virus is a gag on a t-shirt but yes I have now acknowledged it

[CaramelDansen Collab 2020]

I was thinking this had the actual English lyrics. No, it was all just a big joke. It can be annoying when half of the stuff is credits. I am still impressed at how popular this was. I mean, it had no nudity! Sure, it was obscene, but still no graphic depiction.

I appreciate how absurd this was. It kind of reminded me of the "Power Pressure Collab". Well, nowhere near as much, though. This wacky cartoon deserves its popularity. Nice to know Luis is still around too.

Wandaboy responds:

luis is a dead corpse we move with strings around

[Orange Knight]

I'm impressed at how prolific you are. I was confused as to when the credits were shown. I was afraid you were going to just show a bunch of credits. So glad you didn't do that! Orange is my favorite color! A pity nothing rhymes with it.

It was quite unpredictable. You knew how to put a different spin on every joke. It's nice how it abruptly ends too. We really have been getting some great stuff lately. I'm not looking at you, illwillpress.

squeakytoad responds:

Thanks, Ericho, always appreciate the thoughtful reviews!
