Legend of Vox Machina Animated Series on Amazon Prime

Looks interesting, but the tone seems to be all over the place and leaning a little too jokey for my taste, will probably check it out.

 

Looks like something I might enjoy watching with my oldest. I’ll have to screen it. Cursing and blood won’t bother him but if it’s hyper sexualized it could be uncomfortable.

 

I watched the first two episodes last night. It was good for light distracting entertainment but beyond that didn't really impress me.

One personal thing I found funny watching Vox Machina is last week I started watching Wheel of Time and Vox Machina is a pretty good send up of the self-important and self-referential stuff so often in Fantasy that Wheel of Time is full of. For example stuff like "A thousand years ago a dark force swept across the land of Blah Blah Blah but were defeated by the Heroes of some vaguely profound sounding name. Though peace reigned the Order of vaguely Celtic / Latin / Greek sounding name knew that vaguely menacing sounding dark force would return but that another Hero of vaguely profound sounding name would rise again.."

 

It's pretty good. I like it. I don't D&D and I have no idea what Critical Role is. Looks like the only way to get an action animated show green lit is to be vulgar and have lots of gore.. what can you do?

Surprised you guys don't like the animation style. It looks just like Voltron and that was really good. I thought the action sequences were very well done.

 

The animation didn't bother me but it didn't impress me. It seemed like the typical stuff that we see in most animated action shows whether it's Invincible or the latest DC animated movie.

Further a lot of the characters and their actions seemed formulaic. When the horny bard guy started rapping I was rolling my yes at how lowest common denominator that type of move for humor was.

 

The show was just okay. Nothing special, a fairly typical fantasy story with class archetypes and some twists. I feel like it didn't know what it wanted to do. Was it supposed to be satirical or serious? Scanlan's humor wasn't funny, either, and he was the most obnoxious character.

The animation didn't bother me. It was your standard Americanized anime style.

 

It's okay, but i don't remember the last episodes i binge watched at 2x

Almost feels like an impromptu table top D&D that i think it was originally spawned off of.

 

I’ve watched a couple of more episodes and I still feel it’s good for a light distracting entertainment but not much more.

 

It’s okay. I got like three episodes left and feel no rush to finish it.

 

Season 2 came out and it’s stepped up a notch. First three episodes are released on prime and the first episode is pretty great.

 

As I said I wasn't blown away by it but it was entertaining. WIll watch Season 2.

 

Looks like Amazon is releasing episodes in chunks of 3s. First three episodes are pretty good as it seems like they found a better balance of comedy and drama.
