The tight friendship of the Vox Machina group, combined with sharp animation, funny jokes, rich action, and raw, honest drama, will win over new fans and satisfy old ones. The Legend Of Vox Machina is a critical hit. Read full review

The first episode feels a bit drawn out, and a few cuts would have still left a tight rollicking fun time. But it’s easy to forget your gripes once the fun picks back up, and the rest of the series lacks the meandering asides of the first episode, and introduces character backstory and threads of intrigue to sink your teeth into.

Vox Machina is a fun, chaotic ride through the world the players in Critical Role have been building upon for years. It takes the characters viewers are likely already familiar with, and establishes a story that both fans and newcomers can get into without catching up on the series. Read full review

The Legend of Vox Machina is a competently produced story decidedly informed by the sensibilities of a new generation of players, the kind of series that shares DNA with the ’83 cartoon and the disastrous 2000 film, but also looks absolutely nothing like either of them. And while it won’t net Hasbro any royalties, it unquestionably moves the phenomenon one step deeper into the mainstream. Read full review

The show started as a Twitch live Dungeons and Dragons campaign where some nerdy voice actors and their Dungeon Master Matt Mercer drew in weekly audiences of over 40 thousand people on a Thursday night. That's more people than a Football stadium in the USA. All of these players and GM were professional working voice actors and they wanted to bring their vision of their show into the reality of a Adult Animation featuring their storyworld created by Matt Mercer, their story created by Matt Mercer and how their character's each individually reacted to the situations that Matt placed them in. They started a kickstarter campaign and raised over 11 million dollars making it the most successful kickstarter campaign ever. Three years later The Legend of Vox Machina is reality. The show is hilarious, fun, silly, bawdy, cute, rude, yet wholesome all at the same time. The legend of Vox Machina takes place on an imaginary world called Tal Dorei which is full of magic and high fantasy. This show is unique. The art animation is amazing and is the best work the studio of Titmouse has ever done. The music is incredible, and the bard Scanlan Shorthalt's songs are hilarious, weird, silly, and bawdy. The show is a hit to the Critters that backed it and i'm sure it's going to be a hit with adults everywhere. Imagine the Lord of the Rings with raunchy college humor and you are sure to come close to The Legend of Vox Machina.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Legend of Vox Machina is a truly wonderful show that is fitting for kids and people of strict religious… Wait, wait a minute, wrong show. Starting over.

The Legend of Vox Machina opens a genre for me that haven’t seen on television since the 1983 cartoon, Dungeons and Dragons. Except this time, we don’t see one-dimensional campy characters geared at children but instead the creators of Critical Role, bring us the well needed Red-Band adult version.

I found the main characters of Vox Machina to be edgy, heartfelt, and quick witted. The comedy is fun and full of energy and thankfully, even a bit raunchy at times (thanks Scanlan). I thought that the animation was very well done and fit the visual direction which fit the story’s direction!

While I did find the first episode to be a bit slower paced than the rest, I was very pleased when things quickly took off in the following two episodes and I became invested in the characters journey. I was laughing out loud when an unexpected game of ball tag broke out amongst Grog and Vax which concluded fantastically with a single powerful punch to nuts of Grog, while Vax was delivering a speech about dignity, so good! This for me I believe this foreshadows where the narrative path is taking us. Humorous surprises, heartfelt storylines, all backed up by the real-life friendship that these collaborators have for one another, which is just contagious.

Anything goes in The Legend of Vox Machina, just like in the highly successful show, Critical Role. From glimpsing the outline of Scanlan’s balls, to the brutally torn apart party of adventurers, the Legend of Vox Machina will ring out like a giant burp echoing in the Sovereigns chambers. I for one am looking forward to the seeing the beauty, pain, and laughter that Vox Machina has in store for us all!… Expand

Very entertaining, thanks mainly to the unique characters and great performances from the VAs behind them. The animation is also good. Eager for season 2.

I hate animes and I am a proud cinematic snob. But this is seriously and surprisingly really above average.

Plot, pacing and editing...while maintaining a clever balance between action, character development and humour. No small feat especially for a genre accustomed to pandering to simplistic teenage tropes. I couldn't wait for each new installment to my own bewilderment. Each episode is better than the previous one.… Expand
