Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fefnir - Pilot]

I'm glad to see the Weekly User's Choice! It wasn't one of my favorites, but was definitely great. My favorite part is probably the animation with the fighters. It's weird, because the animation with the humans could have been better. I still fully appreciated this. It's quite ambiguous.

It works so well as a pilot. It's hard to get a good understanding of what's going on. You really don't need to. Everything is nice nicely put together and so well constructed. I guess they go hand in hand.

FrameFreak2D responds:

Thanks a lot Ericho :D

[No Evil 017: Direction]

I don't remember other numbered things in this series. Wait, it's part of something a lot of people are doing. It's great to have the great animation and voices. I feel bad for not remembering the names of the characters or anything. It's still great to watch. I was confused about the one guy transforming into a human.

I like how it has an ongoing story. I think it does at least. It's nice to see these guys play off each other. It shows great dynamics. It's just a very nice and soft cartoon.

Warlord-of-Noodles responds:

I figured that I ought to... even if it's the only series I'm doing now.... unfortunately I can't figure out how to change the titles on the old ones^^0. So it looks a little odd. Ustacould. Dunno what changed.

[Fishy Business]

I thought that in terms of short animations, this was pretty good. It was a bit too short, though. It still managed to get its main joke across. I seriously wasn't expecting the fish to survive and I was right! The animation was really nice in this. It moved, dare I say, fluidly?

It's fine for a quick joke. I appreciate people who can do stuff so quickly. It shows dedication. It was cool to see that orange blur. That's my favorite color!

LinkTCOne responds:

I didn't want to try to make an animation that was too long a I only had one day to do it. I think it's long enough to get the point across, which is all you need really.

[Court Ordered - The Beginning]

Erik Meyers? Dude, I knew someone named that from Pennsylvania! Then again, his name was spelled "Eric" Meyers. The animation was great in this. Most of the jokes worked really well. The best part was easily the joke about the ghost.

That was just set up brilliantly. It's a pity um, that thing happened to your last submission. There were a lot of great expressions in this. Self help groups are easy to make fun of. Eh, I don't think I've ever been a part of one.

Tomorrows-Nobody responds:

Erik Myers hails from the east coast, so it could've almost been him if he had the same name!
Glad you liked it! The ghost joke is a favorite of ours that we've been looking to put into something for years and it finally found a home in this cartoon.

Yeah, that last submission was a bummer. Lesson learned: when someone hires you to do an animation and says they own all the previous art--ASK TO SEE A CONTRACT.

[Bricks Are Fun Series 1]

I really am sorry, but I did not understand this. It was pretty much just the same thing over and over. You should have had a background. When I first saw this, I thought it was a collab. I didn't see that there was only one person credited. I liked hearing Joanime's voice.

I wish she'd come back to this website. She was really fun. I loved Unicron appearing at the beginning. At least Bowser appeared. It was kind of unpredictable.

Gerkinman responds:

I am surprised anyone has stumbled on this video in the last few years. Kind of blows my mind. This is over 10 years old now.

[Dr. Shroud: La Maudite 3]

It's great to see the epic conclusion! Well, I guess it's not a conclusion to the actual series, right? The music is as good as ever. I admit not remembering a lot of these characters' names. It's still great to look at. I like how they all look so distinct.

The voicework is great too. These are really some nice, original ideas you put forward. It is kind of hard to understand. At least you can look at it well enough. It is fairly unique.

robfeldman responds:

Ah, thanks! After more than 10 years, I'm glad to see people enjoying it!

[Pleasure Island 5]

Yep, I couldn't understand anything that was going on in this cartoon. Of course, I had no problem with that. The best thing, again, is the animation. I love the design of the mad scientist. I'm sorry that I haven't been following this story completely. It's just hard to keep up with.

The best part was probably when he said he wanted to go further. I like the idea of a squid sounding like a duck. No one has any idea what will happen next in this cartoon. Well, most of your cartoons are like that. I bet you'll respond to this, right?

Sexual-Lobster responds:

of course. its so long between episodes, i expect few to remember the story. in the long run people will be able to watch them all in a 20 minute marathon, that's what i'm working towards.

[Breakout Blurg]

I was weirded out by this at first. I thought it was weird how it turned out to be a trailer, more or less. I wish the game would be available here. I still liked this cartoon. It was great how you tried something different. You show some strong emotions here.

I especially like how the blurg has so much personality. I had no idea this would be a game. I noticed that there was something off about this. It makes more sense now. The colors are nice and bright.

D-SuN responds:

Hi Ericho, thanks for the feedback! It's possible to get a web version of the game onto NewGrounds. I'll talk to the guys at work about it :)

[Spider Powers 11]

It was interesting to see where this story goes. I admit I don't remember all the previous parts. I just really like it how you have an ongoing story. The best part was probably the guy with the moose antlers at the end. I love surrealism! I'm glad it didn't end right before then.

You show so much fluidity with these stick figures. I don't see these guys around that much anymore. I really did like these characters and wanted them to succeed. This is a pretty unpredictable series. Happy Halloween 2015!

just2pale responds:

Thank you for the kind words. The guy with the antlers was in episode 4, so it was a small call back to that. As far as story even I don't know where it will go or end. I just enjoy creating these when I have the time, which is limited by other projects.

Again thank you for the comments and keep an eye out for more.

[walk in woods]

I did not like this at all. Even the author comments didn't make any sense! I can understand why this is the lowest ranked of Halloween 2015. The animation was pretty bad, too. It just didn't have a point. What's a skunk got to do with Halloween?

Maybe they're just talking about being out on Halloween. The voices weren't that good either. It was too short. It just doesn't seem to amount to much. You should have better lines.

flashmakeit responds:

Well that is news. I didn't know the my cartoon was the lowest ranked for Halloween 2015. The boy wanted to go in the woods for Halloween and he was so bad he chased some animals out of the woods but not the skunk that give him a funky treat.
