Angels of Death

Very happy to finally see this series. Animation suits the story well. I hope they continue to make them.

It's not the best editing or processing but that doesn't even matter. If your a fan, you'll probably like it.

"Angels of Death" brings the dark world of the Blood Angels Space Marines to life with stunning clarity and depth. This series dives deep into the gritty lore of Warhammer 40k, portraying the relentless battles and dramatic tales of heroism with a striking visual style. The stark contrast of black and white imagery, highlighted with bold reds, captures the brutal atmosphere perfectly, even though the animation can sometimes feel a bit rigid.

The audio brings out the intensity of the series, with solid voice performances that add a lot of emotion to the characters, making you feel every bit of their struggles and triumphs. The story moves at a good pace, mixing fast-paced action with quieter, more intense scenes that build up the tension and develop the storyline effectively. Overall, "Angels of Death" does a great job at making its characters' journey both compelling and visually impactful.

Except for the writing and some of the voice acting, there is very little to laud in this project. The animation is blocky, unimpactful and unremarkable, the overall production is just weak. From the directing, to the sound, to the overall presentation and tone. A shame really, the fan made animation called "Astartes" puts this to shame and then some. Maybe GW should take their projects more seriously, this looks like it was made 10 years ago and only disserves one of the most potential universes to be adapted to the screen. This is some heretic work, indeed.

Any issues I have with the animation and sound quality are easily overlooked by the fantastic story telling, it really feels as though the writers and producers understand the world in which the story takes place, the characters are well developed and the action is visceral.

It's losing a star simply because the animation could be a little better, the lip syncing is particularly poor.

I remember many years ago when the Ultramarines movie was released. Man that was bad, Dan Abnett is my favorite author, and I was shocked when I realised he wrote the script.

Fastforward to today and we have warhammer plus and the series Angels of Death.

The animations are OK if you count the number of polygons. But the "soul" is there, the visuals are there to carry the story.

Sound effects and audio are on point, really well done.

Story, setting, dialogue and characters are also great and are just to the WH40k setting.

This was made by people who really enjoy WH40k, for people who really enjoy WH40k.

Could I show this to my wife who doesn't understand why I spent money I could buy a car for on minis and other WH-stuff? Hell no!

As a fan of 40k, did I really enjoy this? Hell yes!!!
