Ah yes, another D20 where Lou stands in the background going, "This person's flirting attempt is a MESS.... but it's actually working? Oh, wow. Weirdo4weirdo I guess."

If I had a nickel for every time that happened I would have two nickels which is not a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

@@cjmilliam8275 Canon levels of accurate. not just from the face value, but even the comedic elements line up.

[@completebuffoonery3925]

I’m the same way but with trauma around alcohol. I relate to Evan and his anxiety soso much

[@lumberluc]

Dream looked like she was about to pop her kettle, real soon.

[@kamecade9901]

I like how everyone has a small little representation of them and Evan/Brennan just has a Dont Starve type demon surrounding him

[@Chaindustries]

It's their familiars. Yes, even the shadows.

[@StraveTube]

I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE AAAAAAAAAA

[@callysta1414]

Little known fact that one of the shadow demons chasing Evan is indeed Charlie of Don't Starve 😂

[@SpectralArchivist]

1:36 "Woah... they're the _same!"_ had me dying, paired with "Okay, I guess it turns out that was actually _the_ play. I was wrong, this is the conversation- she wanted this!"

[@vertibelle]

This style fits Erika Ishii's cackling laughs so gooooood

[@anemonemilyyy]

that final clip of Evan turbo-ing out of there is absolutely SENDING me

[@cjmilliam8275]

Pretty much how I envisioned that scene tbh🤣😂

[@procrastinator99]

"I S P R I N T -" lmao

[@Mad_Doctor_K]

I wish they animated the whole series that would be funny af to watch

[@Galaxy613]

That would cost WAY TOO MUCH. I would be happy with a few more highlights. Like when they first arrived in the Wizarding World or when Evan showed that kid his own funeral.

[@HidForHG]

@@Galaxy613 HOLY SHIT! that scene would be GLORIUS!

[@AlexGoldhill]

Hey, if Critical Roll could raise $11 million and get picked up by Amazon then anything is possible.

[@morphousblob]

@@AlexGoldhill right I'm like take my money

[@blazerheata6479]

I always picture in my head how these scenes would look like if they were an animated series lol. I haven't watched CR's show yet but it's on my list

[@binguscheese8126]

Them shouting the “m” word in the alleys would be a valid next animation, just “muggle, muggle, muggle” and the horrified reactions of the surrounding wizards

[@sikka6440]

And wizards cupping their kids ears and looking at them with horrified expression on their faces 🤣

It feels the same as when you throw a big rock into a lake. It's weird analogy but I will stand on this hill till Hell takes me.

[@christianlecroy980]

1:02 I love that they all have their familiars with them. I especially find it funny that three of them have cute little sidekick buddies and Brennan just has this torrent of darkness around him.

[@Pomlithe]

i LOVE that evan does brennan's signature punch-clap thing at 1:30

[@MsCunningLinguistic]

Omg you're right!

[@jagrubster]

I didnt see that! 😂😂

[@holyhandgrenade3]

Konate did such an amazing job with this. My favorite little bit is the 1:28 with Jammer pointing to emphasize "the play", really matches the body language of the player and also sells the dialogue super well.

[@yacinekonate]

First time I read someone referencing me with my surname 😆. But thank you !

[@BannedStories101]

The individual facial expressions and how they change as each moment is experienced is something I feel like most animes don't bother with doing (they only animate the faces of the people in focus) but this feels so authentic and REAL. I LOVE IT!!!!!

[@abrigedpyeman21]

Poor Evan keep doing what your doing also love that fact Evan does Brennan fist clap thing where he punches his hand to kinda clap its a nice detail

[@itwasidio1736]

The little chibis of the players in comparison to the full-sized characters is adorable.

[@pink-mo9kw]

The movment from the chacters is so perfect.

[@acetrainerkat]

Brennan plays awkward so well.

[@corancoranthemagicalman]

The animation is SO smooth and SO full of character. I'm completely obsessed with it. Turns out *this* was. the. play.

[@iiearlgreyii]

I could watch a hundred hours of this.

[@imei2006]

Jammers reaction to Evan rambling just “chef’s kiss”

[@lockskelington314]

I love this animation, Really put Evan's character really defined.

[@biancabrylef.indiongco5814]

THIS IS ADORABLEEEE WE NEED MORE OF THISSS, THE ART STYLE IS FANTASTIC, THE LYP SYNC, THE DESIGN. EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS IS FANTASTIC

[@Saltier]

I think my favorite part is either the little baby versions of the players or the canonical height difference being displayed.

[@passdoutcouchpotatos]

Damn that's some fluid animation. Not at all one of the scenes I'd have picked though

[@queencleopatra007]

Yeah I would've picked one of the scenes where Evan's taken over by a demon

[@retcr876]

@@queencleopatra007 I mean, animating that would've been harder than this, but I see how that could be fun.

[@ollie_3948]

I would have loved the “FOR VALOR? YOU HAVE YOUR WHOLE LIFE AHEAD OF YOU!”

[@RedBishop_]

@@ollie_3948 Prestige, yeah. I saw a pretty good animation of that scene somewhere around here. it's actually what got me into M&M

[@xsillyxcorex]

Said it on the short and I’ll say it again, I didn’t realize how badly I needed a chibi Lou. But also how badly I needed a chibi Aabria. ❤️❤️❤️

[@lawislaw2585]

I would give my soul to Evan for a chibi Aabria

[@lucaslibovicz6572]

I would love to see more of the misfits and magic scenes animated, this one was awesome.

[@maddie4834]

1:34 Dream saying “gender is more of a spectrum” in a Harry Potter game is such a badass move eeeee Erika I love you you wonderful person!

[@mung01re]

Reminder that there are only two genders/sexes: Male and female.

[@jazztoons115]

This animation is great. I love that you animated Even Kelmp doing Brennan's hand- punch clap thing. It gives it so much character 🤌👌

[@lastnamefirstname8655]

the awkwardness is so painful. great stuff.

[@EyebrowsGaming]

The chibi versions of the cast are so adorable! I think Dani or Aabria are my favourites

[@sunnybloom7272]

Aabria’s little is the cutest thing but they all look terrific love those chibis

[@Rylee_G]

I love the choice to not animate Erika. She's exactly the same

[@belindaluna2067]

Everything about this is great but I wanna single out the height difference as adorable.

[@jodinsan]

Okay. Now, uh... can you animate the whole season like this? No pressure. Just... I need it.

[@jetvulcan2020]

the look on evan's face at didn't deserve love

[@DancinDevilDarlin]

0:16 Dream will forever live in my head rent free

[@MangoBirb22]

I’ve watched this animation like eight times on dropout and I didn’t even hesitate to watch this here lol It’s just amazing

[@ISAWdano]

The animated Dimension 20 crew are so adorable!! Reminds me, in the best possible way, of those Avatar: The Last Airbender shorts. All of their familiars hanging out and Evan's horrible demon shadows hovering nearby. This is so awesome!

[@dorca9308]

dear lord the animator did such an amazing job at this, the little pauses are just comedy gold

[@cyruskamhea1860]

...i want so much more of this i would consider getting back into cable tv if it meant i could see the entire campaign animated like this

[@JoseOrtiz-rl9re]

I love the animation, it's a serious upgrade and I hope to see more.

[@isabellafortune1705]

honestly i really love dreams whole girly-lolita-goth-nerd-emo-awkward stuff she has going on, like i’m all for it

[@idiot2471]

This has to be one of my favorite dnd relationship role playing moments ever

[@random_user6414]

The adorable design of the player minis The fluster levels Changes in style to highlight humour and drama (Lou's eye's going "plink plink", dramatic zoom for "self control", etc) Subtle references to classic memes (WHEEZE meme at 1:42) Overall details to capture their expressions And finally, the engine start and race car sounds when Brennan sprints for the drink General characteristics of this animation that made it so amazing.

this animation style is sooo cute and fits very well with the vibe !

[@jocosesonata]

A huge round of applause for Yacine Konate, for animating this. So... How many of you are mad enough to start a petition to have the whole series animated by The Yacine Konate? How many of you _are_ animators and are willing to help animate this!? Come on! The Critters didn't get their animated show by just laying around! Rise up! Viva la revolution! Animated shows for all your favourite TTRPG series! Personally, I'm gunning for *_The Oxventure._*
