A friend in my Discord server decided to stream it and we binged both seasons of it.

Holy shit. I never really liked the games too much, but that was one hell of a watch. Can't wait for the next season of it.

But yeah, it hooked me in pretty early.

It was great. A bit shallow, but it's not like you should expect anything deep.

My dream is that the same guys do an animated Warcraft adaptation.

I personally like Link as a Rugged Shaman Swashbuckler more than Resourceful Gadget Boy. That's why Zelda II is one of my all time favorites, ...(see quote)

Am I the only one who preferred season one? Season 2 had too much useless exposition (ignoring episode 7).

It entertained me a lot. I don't think it was great, but I never expected great and it really lived up to the expectations. A lot of style, not so much substance. Well worth a watch.

Generally it's a great show.

The animation is a bit cheap. There's some odd frame dips at moments and they keep the action to a minimum at times, I assume for budget reasons.

Also note that the writer, Warren Ellis, is well known for working his political commentary into his stories and he really, really hates the catholic church so if you are sensitive about such issues the show might grate on you.

But aside from that it's well written and well performed. Characters all have a nice amount of depth for an otherwise short show and despite some rough spots the artwork still looks good.

First season was too short. Second season was too long, or at least it felt like it with 6 episodes worth of exposition.

I've seen a few people complain about the church's portrayal in this series and I find that so bizarre. The church being responsible for burning Lisa isn't a giant leap from the games' canon and you can't really have them burn an innocent woman alive and have them be the good guys.

If he hates the catholic church that just makes him a better fit for the series and the premises from the games it was based on.

The Church was pretty shitty in the Dark Ages and pretty much halted European civilization for upwards of half of a millennium because of their corruption and idiocy.

That the Church sucked in this era is less a matter of opinion than fact.

The frame rate definitely got bad on some parts but it was probably the trade off for them pumping out the second season so quickly, so it's fine really. The animation was still pretty good, all things considered, especially for having so many action sequence.
