Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[10 sideways facts]

I honestly didn't find this that bad. I think the rating should be a tad higher. It's mostly because it was interesting to learn that stuff. All I had to do was pause the video and look at it sideways. I knew most of those things. Dang, I really should have made one for this.

A pity I don't know how to use flash. I thought the falling dream was the most common one. Well, you did say it was just ONE of the most common dreams. The thing about China makes sense. There really wasn't much need to make this sideways.

Technox17 responds:

thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you found it interesting! haha actually the sideways thing was actually caused by a issue that happened when I was switching the file formats for the editing

[Piccolo: Attorney at Law]

Geez, it's been too long since the last one. I love the animation as usual. You simply can't make something bad, can you? I loved this because it's great to see the Dragonball Z characters in a court of law like this. I forgot what happened in the previous one. Well, I forgot it was Goku Vegeta did that to.

I like the idea of Vegeta attacking the lawyers. It's great to see him with Piccolo. It was fun just to see the people in the background of the court. There are just so many creative designs in this. I was just watching DBZ Kai last night.

Sexual-Lobster responds:

yeh, ive made bad things. cheers, ericho.

[FFF: Twilight]

This was different than most episodes. I probably liked it better that way. It's mostly because you have such good CGI. The two characters seem to be done in a different style. I mean, it's hard to think of different style when doing CGI. It's weird to think that it still hasn't caught on, on this website after all these years.

The music was great. It's nice to just have talking. Okay, there was action in it. I'm getting more familiar with these characters. It's hard to tell with such a large cast.

SplashKhat responds:

The character models came right off the FF7 Playstation CD. There's an app that allows you to position each piece of the model and export as an image. It gets tedious since each model has 20+ parts. Myself and Princess Artemis spent some hours piecing together the few poses you saw here.

Nowdays you got 3D toolkits that can import models directly into flash and animate them. I'm looking forward to doing just that for the final chapter of the series.

[Cocket the Fish]

You mean like the Forest Gump character? This was really nice and cartoonish. I didn't love it, though. The best part was probably the diarrhea joke. I'm glad you didn't show the actual fluids with that. It was great fun to just look at this animation.

Why were there two intros? It seemed kind of pointless. The voice work was fairly good. This guy seems a lot like a 90s video game character. There were a lot of talking animal ones back then.

danlivas responds:

Yes, like the Forest Gump character! Thanks for your feedback. It's been years since I first published Cocket the Fish. I'm glad he seemed like a 90's video game character. I like making characters in that style. Check out my trailer for Hellevator, an iOS game I just released that has more of that 90's video game feel! Cheers!

[The World Ending]

That was really a lot of fun! My only complaint is that you should have shown more stuff at the end. It was just a series of stills. It's still a good cartoon because of how colorful it is. You really don't know what's going on. The voice was just perfect!

I would love to see more of this character! A pity she only seems to appear in this. It was simply a very creative cartoon. There's a lot of stuff going on. I like how the screen at the end works.

AtroxChobatsu responds:

Haha, thanks! Originally, there was video there, but it increased the filesize of the FLA by about 80% so we ended up using stills.

If you're interested, you can find Sarah in some other videos in my profile! She's also in "The Speech", "Shadow Puppets", and has an unspoken cameo in "How to Care for Your Cartoon Character."

[Mega Man X takes steroids]

I didn't read that this was something you did for health class. Edutainment is such a funny word. I still wasn't expecting something so serious from you. I love this because it really did stick to its message that steroids were bad. I'm so glad there's a drug we actually got something right on. There are an infinite number of misconceptions about every other drug.

It really was a heartwarming cartoon. The sprite work was as masterful as ever. The idea of the bit powerup was brilliant. I certainly hope you got a good grade in your class. You got a good one here!

DragoonFenix15 responds:

Well, the full story behind how the presentation went is... after all my work, the TV set this was displayed on didn't play the sound! The entire class watched it totally mute, but... it still got huge laughs out of everyone. I couldn't believe it! I'm pretty sure I did get an A. Wow, this was... sophomore year in high school!

[8-BIT WATERSLIDE: THE GAME!]

Aww, I saw this coming up and I thought it was a game. It still doesn't matter. It's really awesome as a trailer! It was that submission which made me be a fan of yours. I am so glad to at least acknowledge it! The artwork looks fantastic.

I just love how much he jumps around. Making a game based on a waterslide is a great idea. They're already good as video games in real life! Making one just seems like an obvious idea. I like how this guy screams so much.

teaandcheese responds:

Hey thanks very much, :D

[Rest & Relaxation]

While not great, this was definitely good. It's mostly because the joke is so unexpected. It seems like there were a lot of cartoons just like that out at this time. The animation is as good as ever. I think it could have been more than just one gag. I would have liked this more if it was in some sort of compilation.

I actually did get relaxed as I watched this. I mean, it doesn't seem to be that zany until the end. I like how he seems to poop out his brain. Dang, I'm weird. The sounds/music were great too.

vastcool responds:

Thanks!
