Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[XIN Session 18 (Finale)]

Wow, this is one of the longest cartoons on this entire website! I guess this is the best in the series. I know it's kind of cliché to say that the last episode is the best. Well, it is for me at least. I still think "Lost" had a better finale than "Gravity Falls"! The story is concluded nicely.

I'm at least familiar with the story as I saw the other episodes. I just didn't care for them, so I didn't pay much attention. I still don't like this series, but this was a good episode, if only because it was more realistic. It actually sets up the story well. I'm sorry, but I'm not a fan of yours.

Lifepoint1 responds:

Thanks for giving the series a chance and all your reviews. I enjoyed reading your insights and feedback.

[DevilSlayer]

This started off great, but didn't end that well. It's mostly because, I don't know, it was confusing to me. I couldn't really follow it. I wish there was more exposition on what this world was about. The animation probably could have been better too. I like the Big Mac/Whopper conversation.

Well, it was the easiest to follow. The colors are pretty good. I can always appreciate how nice something looks. It just doesn't seem that creative. Well, everyone else loves it!

JazLyte responds:

Hahaha thank you for reminding me I made this! This shit was almost half my lifetime ago, I like to think I've gotten better at conveying ideas cinematically now but I doubt it. Thanks for reviewing!

[GMSU 03-28-18]

I don't see why the score is so low. Did you get any facts wrong? This was fine for me. I didn't know this stuff happened. I guess I'm not into news that much. Well, this doesn't seem too important.

I like how the alien looks different. The duck makes a different sound too! It's great to see how many different things you can do with this cartoon. There's so many of them it's hard to do! I like most of the jokes.

threebrain responds:

Thanks yo! Trying hard haha. Will make it better. Gonna try to add more animations to Jimmy Pee and stuff :-D

[GMSU 03-27-18]

I heard that about Donald Trump. I thought it was transsexuals. Well, trans something. Jimmy doesn't dress like a woman at all. I had no idea who played Bozo the Clown. Never cared for him.

Dumb and stupid are the same thing! It was cool to see the alien with that mask. I believe the duck farted last time. He makes all kinds of different sounds. He even uses different openings.

threebrain responds:

hahaha

[GMSU 03-22-18]

This is one of the best episodes ever! Granted, I don't remember most of them. There's just too many to list! I like the idea of a new segment. If this goes on, I'm going to try to remember this as the first segment! Barbara Streisand really said that?

She's probably just mad at "South Park". That wombat joke was insane, but funny. It's always sad to see an endangered species leave. I think I had heard of the white rhino before. A pity they can't procreate now.

threebrain responds:

haha I'll have to watch dat south park

[GMSU 03-19-18]

It's been too long since your last episode. I recently lost my cable. I haven't been able to get much news. Well, I got it from "The Daily Show" at least. No mention of Stephen Hawking's passing? That's huge news!

It's great to have these guys back. I hope to see more. Bill Cosby is joined by many other celebrities. Oh, and Steven Seagal joined today. Or was he already on the Metoo hashtag?

threebrain responds:

Yeah dat Steven Seagal situ needs a joke no doubt :-O

[DCK: Cycon Dooby Don't]

I'm going to say right now that I never cared for this or the DCK series. It just seem crude for the sake of being crude. I do like the joke about the ghost is the only logical explanation. I don't see why Velma is called a dyke. I mean, there's a lot of openly gay characters in animation nowadays. Well, at least characters that have been confirmed to be gay.

This just had too many easy jokes. Everyone makes Scooby-Doo jokes like these. It's so weird to look back at Michael Jackson jokes. We found out Bill Cosby was much worse. Then we found out there tons of other celebrities who were rapists!

Cycon responds:

I agree. Truthfully, I never really liked this one and had lots of reservations about it even when we first released it. The whole thing was rushed through production and the content is overall more crass than I would be willing to release nowadays.

As far as the series goes, it's alright that you didn't care for it. Lots of people did for some reason, for which I am grateful. The fact that I can still talk about it and reply to comments in 2018 blows my mind, considering how little we actually put out over the years. If I could do it over with what I learned from the experience, I would definitely make changes, but it is what it is. Thanks for taking time to provide your feedback all these years later. Gives me a reason to crawl out of my crypt.

[Sublo & Tangy Mustard - Bad Guys (S2E5)]

I was very impressed by this episode. I admit this still isn't really my thing. I still loved it when they had the dance off. You'd think it would get more violent. The animation was quite good. I'm starting to get used to the characters more.

Okay, it's easy to deduce Sublo is the submarine. Well, the guy in the submarine costume. The voices are very good too. I admit to rooting for the characters a bit. They shouldn't have named their restaurant "Subpar'.

Aaron-Long responds:

Thanks Ericho! Even if it's not quite your taste, it's good to hear there's some aspects you enjoyed about this one.

[Sonic Seconds: Volume 1]

It kind of makes you wonder why you guys didn't just make another "Sonic Shorts". This does in fact allude to them. You know with the Dancing Robotnik. My favorite bit was with Sonic hitting the gold rings. I should have thought of that much earlier. The music was great.

It's too bad the credits were so long. They took up too much of the movie! It's still very fun. Everyone has such a unique style of animation. I love how different we all are.

CelestOrion responds:

We're gonna have the credits cut down in the future episodes due to last minute changes and schedules on this. Shorts is definitely still being made, though! This is just made by other team members who can't tackle longer animations right now! Glad to hear you still enjoyed it!

[Monkeyspank]

At first I thought this would credit Wonchop. Now I realize this is just an insult to him. Well, he's funnier than you anyway! I still really loved this cartoon. It wasn't as focused on sex on your other stuff. The animation was great.

Yeah, those pornos exist. I see porn versions of everything here. I liked Pwnchop being killed. That's what he gets for pooping everywhere! The stealing bit was great too.

Cycon responds:

Backstory: So, at the time, I was spending a lot of time talking with Joanime and other artists that were releasing content. Rumor had gotten around about some kind of conflict over original art between Jo and Ben, something I actually knew NOTHING about. Cliques and informal alliances were also kind of forming at that time and becoming toxic. It was like a high school drama. Basically, I heard one side of the story and created this in response, thinking I was "backing-up" my friend, Jo, while also trying to be cheeky about it. It was a pretty immature move on my part.

I don't know what other content came out that may have contributed to the mounting dramas, but I can tell you that after I put this out, the toxicity intensified and there was a divide in the community. There were petty little arguments in comment sections on artist pages on deviantart, sheezy, and NG. Probably other places. Egos were huge and fragile, myself included.

The whole "great divide" continued and I don't remember it getting better, honestly. Gerkinman was one of the few people that tried to do some good by putting the One Love collaboration together, which was more of a message to the artist community than it was anything else.

I can't remember if I ever directly apologized to Ben for mocking him and stirring up drama, but he proved himself as an artist and kept going.

He's definitely not funnier than me, though. I didn't even know he did comedy. ;)
