Angels of Death

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.

X - Artistic style is fantastic.

X - Animations great. (Apart from face animations which i will get to below) X - 40k universe captured perfectly.

X - Strong and engaging story.

But ...... the face animations and syncing to voices need work .... A lot of work. (Especially the co pilot) It is noticeable and distracting enough to take away viewer engagement.

Many people wont make it past the first episode unfortunately. It reminds me of the issues mass effect andromeda experienced. Hopefully theres a season 2 and can be addressed.

Overall great work though.

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.

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.

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.
