Angels of Death

Right away when the series opened I had a problem with the face of the space marines. For being the sons of the angel they neither look or sound angelic, not a single one. The story is pretty good and for the most part the animation is good. The series truly falls short with the sound design. There is no weight to anything. A Storm bolter tossed to the ground sounds like someone just dropped a toy gun. This weapon must weigh like fifty pounds or more. The chainsword sounds are from the default sound pack of a video editing software. It is truly terrible. The voice acting is wonderful for almost everyone. Like I said before though, the Blood Angels sound more like the veterans of fifty years of cigarette smoking.

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!!!

I've been reading that some don't think the animation is that good. What? I guess one of them was the issue with the lip syncing which I didn't even notice because there are so many amazing details that are brought to life in this series.

I was upset at first that I couldn't watch it in one go but that's because I was sucked into the story and wanted more. As for the mentioning of the sound. I have a full surround system and it sounded like a god damn war zone. Which I feel pretty much suits the 40K universe.

As a first run for GW I'm overjoyed with how incredible this brought the 40K universe to life and hope this animation team gets something in Fantasy or AOS to put their skills to the test once again.

9393-7084 Quebec inc. Amazing job team. I loved it.

If you're a 40K fan. Bring tissue and lotion.

This series is ok, for a first attempt. The story is decent and most of the action is good. The animation style isn't 100% to my liking but that's subjective. The sound also isn't great, and the dialogue is cringe worthy in large parts. It seems the angels of death have a very limited vocabulary! I am death/vengeance and repeat. A shame.

I also have to say the look of the Blood Angels themselves is completely inconsistent with how they are described in any and all Warhammer lore. They are meant to look angelic. Fair enough, some of them should be scarred etc, but angelic and scarred.

Overall, it's not bad, but it's not great.

Animations are not my cup of tea, but for this one I can sincerely say that this one is different.

You won't be disappointed, the writers and the quality of the animations makes it very interesting to watch the whole serie, well done.
