Aesthetically it looks cheap and plasticky, not like an actual anime (modern anime ofcourse looks cheap and plasticky compared to classic anime but still).

Please do be a show...

Tastes differ. But I am sure you are aware that Castlevania has glowing reception.

Aesthetics aside, I found the show to be dreadful. The pacing slows down to a bog and there is a lot of standing around and expositing. Unlikeable main characters. Demonization of Christianity. Lots of cursing and other degeneracy. Bland and unmemorable soundtrack.

Pretty sure they just put the Orc in it to hype it up, feels totally out of place a strong male orc from blizzard in 2024.

This show better use real orcs and elves or we will be angry or something.

Alright. Okay. Okay.

You had my curiosity, Blizzard.

Now you got my full attention.

Second War was the best. I can get behind this.

Pretty sure people like you will never be happy. Finally a cool Orc in a trailer in 2024 "STRONG MALE ORC, SO OUT OF PLACE!" hahaha

Anyway, I see Forest Trolls. Super hype.

Yeah, it's super stupid. This whole ordeal screams cheap anime with terrible tropes.

As long as it isn't too Anime I can get behind it, looks like Boondocks style western animation which I can get behind.

If we get weeb shit like eyeball close-ups, spikey haired emos and overexaggerated facial expressions I'm out.

Have you forgotten Sylvanas solo-guitar sliding into Arthas? ))

Now more than ever Im sure an animated wow series would be amazing if they went all out and held nothing back.

Not seeing a quiver or any arrows anywhere on her. Maybe she ran out.
Also, there’s a glint when she’s coming down, so more than likely there are sharp pointy metal bits for stabbings and slashings on the edges.
Not really a good idea to use a bow as a melee weapon, but we are talking about a sci-fi fantasy game with spaceships, lasers, demon invaders, Lovecraftian old gods, and fire cats. I’d say a little suspension of disbelief about a bow being used as a melee weapon can be afforded.

It's almost like people forgot the masterful Peter Jackson had Legolas do this during Helms Deep. Like, this fandom, I swear, cannot be honest actors. The premiere fantasy movie that defined fantasy fiction for 30 years is now cheap anime trash apparently cause the elf archer started boxing people with their bow.
