Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[#BLUD-chapter-04 -Geoff's Spell]

Dang, I'm really starting to like these cartoons! The best part was probably how the animation. Everything was so bright and colorful here. The movements were so good. I appreciate all the effort put into these colors. It's all done without dialogue.

Was this something submitted for Cartoon Network? Is it something to be made into a video game? Either way, it looks great. It's another great cartoon from you. It was really cool.

EXIT73STUDIOS responds:

Thanks so much fore the kind words:) These are cinematics for our game #BLUD:)
It's a love letter to Cartoon network and old school zelda!

[Broats: Double Dare Bear]

Yes, I knew that was Adam MacArthur! I love Marco so much! I guess Double Dare Bear wasn't real. That is, until the VERY last second. This was just awesome. The animation was gorgeous.

Your work seems familiar. I must not have reviewed that many of your submissions. It's a shame as you're an underappreciated artist. I have never played Truth or Dare before. I assume you just lose if you decline a Dare (or Truth).

BroatsShorts responds:

Thanks for the thoughtful feedback! Glad you liked it!

[Fisthead vs. Pinata]

What the hell?! It's been awhile since I've seen something new on the Portal Top 50. It was truly wonderful to see this animation style. How did this re-emerge after all these years? I don't care, it's awesome! It is kind of grotesque.

It's still awesome with these fight scenes. Why would a pinata have blood? Well, nothing in here really makes sense. I'm glad it didn't get "too" gross. I didn't like those nipple fists.

LordSpew responds:

Hey! So this was a cartoon that I made a long time ago! It was up in 2011. But because it was in development with some studios, I had to remove it from everywhere. I'm putting this back online now to promote BODYHEAD, a series based off of this short that is coming out tomorrow on Adult Swim's Youtube Channel! Newgrounds was a part of its origin and I'm happy to be able to put this back up where it belongs.

Sorry about the nipple fists (jk Im not hehehe)

[SA2 - Live & Learn animation (coloured)]

That was a nice little piece of animation. I will admit that it was too short. I love how you mention both "Sonic Adventure 2" and the third Sonic movie. They're doing everything with Sonic lately, aren't they? I just wanted to see some fighting. It's still nice for a little cartoon.

The animation really is stellar here. You are amazing with outlines. I really do like the shapes of those buildings on top. Well, I guess they're not really buildings, aren't they? I guess I have to be familiar with the games to understand the location.

kyalbrownart responds:

Thanks so much, I really appreciate it :)
And yeah, the buildings(?) are meant to be from Sonic Adventure 2's final stages. I dunno what exactly they are either in-game tbh haha. I actually really want to redo them though, backgrounds are my weakest part that I want to improve on >:D

[Root's Rug]

This cartoon was just okay for me. I'm sorry that I couldn't give it a higher rating. I think it should have been longer. It was just that the lines seemed off. I did like the ending. "Dragonball Z" is pretty awesome.

I did like some designs. The store clerk's was pretty good. He almost looked like Mario. How was this a music video? I mean, nothing synched with the music.

StaggerNight responds:

Thank you Ericho!

[Madness Amalgamation Collab 3]

Holy crap! I counted 252 kills, exactly twice as much as the previous record for most kills I saw for this year! I think 252 might be a new record in ANY Madness cartoon! It was amazing how it just kept going on and on and on. I think my favorite might be Danilivanov11. That might only be because I thought it had the most kills!

Madness will NEVER die out! It was hard to tell who I was supposed to root for here. I recognized some Madness characters though. Oddly enough, I haven't seen much of Jebus, Tricky or the Auditor lately. We still need all the variety we can get! I could gladly watch every Madness cartoon ever made put back to back for an infinitely long clip here and not get bored!

astlari responds:

its a random clip collab theres nobody to root for

[A compilation of animation.]

Okay, I can see why the rating is low. Still, this was much better than a lot of other things like it. I've seen a lot of submissions where it's just one of those things. You don't need to submit them here. It worked great as a compilation. People should submit more things like this.

Granted, it's still not good. There isn't much happening. I'm glad you labeled it as experimental. That truly is the best description. You did miss this submission by one day.

crewsto567 responds:

thanks^^

[Sword Child Episode 3: Preperation]

5:20 That was...very odd. That outro was really scary. Did he actually die? It was weird how I never saw the first two episodes. There's some scenes that suggest it could be the first in a series. Then again, other scenes don't.

Yeah, it's hard to explain. There was definitely some good action here. It maybe could have been a bit more unique. I can see it took awhile to make. The visuals are quite nice.

kubernikus18 responds:

The outros are foreshadowing for something that could happen to him, this also happens in episode 2.

[BEE & CARROT]

This wasn't really for me. I mean, it was just two people renting something and watching it. Who rents movies anymore, anyway? Well, it it's a library it makes sense. I used to do that all the time. The animation was still decent.

It was certainly passable. I liked their names. People seem to like this far more than I do. I guess my opinion isn't that great. I thought it would feature an actual bee.

ZYNTHSTAR responds:

Hey, that’s valid! As for the renting movies thing, my initial thought was to set this somewhere within the late 90s/early 2000s, hence the subject matter and why I added a bit of film grain. Still, I get your point about the story being simple, and I really appreciate the feedback :]
I apologize for the Bee clickbait too LOL

[Elder-Rain Cafe // Tyhond's 19th Birthday]

Here's another rather cute video. I didn't know there was such a thing as Sponge Fruit Cake. I've heard of fruitcake before. It tasted awful. The music was nice. I guess it could have been more detailed.

That was probably the point. It works rather well with its simplicity. That's a nice name for a cafe. You've done a lot with this character. I'll probably never follow these instructions exactly.

Tyhond responds:

Awww thank you! ^^ Yeah, it's simple. Not meant to actually follow directly :P
