Murder Drones

Keep in mind that I've only watched the first 3 episodes. I don't know if they get better or worse or stay the same.

The concept of the show is really cool, and it's quite enjoyable to watch. I love the characters and their designs, and their personalities are pretty well developed. The animation is also really high quality and nice looking for an indie show.

A common criticism I've seen is of the humor. I personally like meta humor, but I do think they went a little overboard with it.

My main problem with this show is the pacing, which I've seen many other people talk about. Everything happens so fast that had to rewatch the episodes several times to fully grasp everything that happened. Some character arcs happen so fast that I really have to read into the episode to notice them. The characters swap sides so much that I have trouble figuring out whose side they're on sometimes. I have trouble figuring out the main motive of the characters, and whats supposed to be the problem at the moment.

I think this could've been avoided by either making the episodes longer, or making more episodes, but I understand that would take much more time and money.

All and all, I do think it's worth watching, but only if you are really focused and prepared to comprehend things very quickly.

This is honestly one of the most impressive things I have seen on YouTube, the show is amazing while it does not appeal to everyone due to its edgy humor.

The one problem for me (and this can be just because I am dumb) is how confusing it is, in episode 6 I did not know what was going on, so I had to watch a separate lore explaining video just to get back on track, but really once you've done that it becomes clear for the last episodes.

Couldn't really make my review longer because I have said everything I wanted to say so this is basically just some filler text why are you still reading please stop.

The aesthetics are nice and I like it, I really like how the murder drones are almost like vampires and in a world were we get bad reboots now, this is a refreshing original IP with a good story, the acting is great, I do see hands and other things clip but I've seen much worse, otherwise, im pleased.

I quite remember when SMG4 mostly announced this mostly around 2021 and I quite watch itself the pilot episode and it's was a bit amazing in my opinion, I mostly can't wait to watch Series 1.

After the last episode I have to say it was quite the journey. Murder drones is just a great show and probably one of the best things indie animation has to offer. Still it was quite hard to follow and without external lore videos it would be even harder. I know that the missing pieces were probably intended to create mystery but I honestly think that's the only part they really failed. I think it would have been even better if the story would have been more straight forward as other than the artificial created mystery the story really isn't that mysterious at all. Some of the episodes also were pretty pointless and obvious filler episodes. Yes they are world building episodes but if they take away valuable spots where the main story could have been explained more I think this is an issue.
