Critical Role Intro Leaves Cast CRYING!

[@Dunybrook]

So many details in that animation. Amazing work.

[@TheCharacterSheet]

It is pretty spectacular

[@scotchie5299]

How do I subscribe/watch these videos?!

[@Clone1961]

@@scotchie5299yes I really want to know too

[@Dunybrook]

[@BFPerry220]

Yeah the animation was great, so why did we see 75% just some faces instead of maybe 75% great animation? This vids a thumbs down, presentation is key and this was cringe.

[@shanecovey1901]

They deserve it. What joy they bring from just being them.

[@RoboghostYT]

Can we just appreciate that not only did the crew get yet another animation, but also manage to bring a blood hunter into the frey. I find it so cool that Matt’s custom class wasn’t only incorporated into D&D but also brought tonlife

[@bdletoast09]

To be fair, we had a Blood Hunter animated since the DnD Beyond commercial with Molly using the Rite of Dawn on the Gnolls.

[@darcybhaiwala7057]

Oh the absolute joy of seeing your characters in D&D. I remember someone in my party painted a mini of my character and surprised me with her one game and I lost it - I can only imagine how amazing it is to see them animated!

[@bel410la]

One of the other members of my party are an artist and one day she sent photos to the group chat about all of our characters and she made my character look so cool but also had a group photo and a bunch of other small artwork of each of us, and it showed the cute moments not just the badass or funny moments but there was times with my character helping her character up, and saving people from attacks because of one of my feats. And it was super wholesome. (Not just me, but she everyone in different scenes.)

[@gingerholley4634]

'Two by two we fall" animation is SO RUDE I love it

[@DerexWolfheart]

Whats rude mean in that usage?

[@dilemmarose]

​@DerexWolfheart they meant the lyrics being paired with orym and his husband who then blows away was really sad

[@jackaltwinky77]

@jackaltwinky77 yes! can't believe I forgot that lol

[@jenk8385]

im here to say this. they really did that didn't they?!

[@tattoodude8946]

I cannot imagine seeing these characters you have put so much of yourself into coming to life like that. Incredible and well deserved.

[@elp013]

Reactions are amazing

[@TheCharacterSheet]

They were clearly blown away by it, and it was amazing to see that emotion!

[@NaughtyFox1331]

Man as a person who dreams that i had the ability to draw so I can bring my tables fabulous characters alive, I can only imagine how amazing it feels to see your character you created brought to life

[@WallySketch]

I have a 5 years long campaign with my friends, and we're all artists, illustrators or comic book authors. We make a LOT of art on our campaign, it's really neat.

[@Oeseasa]

With time, patience, practice, and a few dozen youtube tutorials, you can absolutely learn to draw, and you totally should! Don't let your dreams collect dust, you can do it. :>

[@israelrobles681]

we don't born with the ability to draw. We trade our life for it. Even when you born poor and nobody pays for your art lessons. And as a long you had an arm and an eye, you could do it too. Just take a pencil and start DOING tutorials, only watching does not work

[@WallySketch]

@@israelrobles681 That's pretty dramatic 😅 I don't think I traded my life for the ability to draw. It's more that drawing is a big part of my life (it's my job). A lot of people do it as a hobby, just like D&D. Everyone does what is good for them, it's fine anyway.

[@WallySketch]

@@Ultimecias I guess. I just don't think I traded my life. I am quite happy with my life 😅

[@perrycarters3113]

It brings me endless joy that Ashley has been able to be full time since returning in the second half of C2. She's an absolute gem.

[@eradication_z]

“two by two we fall.” fucking hurt me spiritually

[@masterhypnos6783]

Especially the FCG bit after that.

[@Mike-bh9vs]

I want an animated show of every CR campaign so bad.

[@TartarusHimself]

Well we’re definitely getting 2/3, and we can only hope with so much success that Amazon will be willing to do a third

[@digifreak90]

With the success of LoVM and the announcement of a Mighty Nein animated series, I wouldn't be surprised if we end up getting a Bell's Hells series at some point after the campaign's over.

[@_ivelinc1821]

If they make an animated show of EXU Calamity I would be inconsolable.

[@Karantu14]

@@_ivelinc1821That would be a mini series that cause serious emotional damage

[@mibbles2371]

​@@_ivelinc1821if they do, the episodes NEED to be 40 ish mins long. Cos one complaint about the LOVM is that the eps are too short to get even a third of the emotional depth of the podcast (still love it tho). So Calamity cannot be rushed

[@annsmalley9039]

for those wanting the link, its the second half of the vid on critical role’s channel called “Bells Hells Campaign 3 Opening Title 2023”

[@Zoddlander]

The shifting image and the change from red to blue in the eyes of F.C.G. was a great hint to the character! Loved it!

[@masterhypnos6783]

And the party restraining but also group hugging him to calm him down hits a lot harder now.

[@HulkVahkiin]

Imagine seeing your character being brought to life the first time. Like a baby being brought into this world.

[@Chaser547]

The critical role group have the same feeling as I do when it comes to characters we build. We get attached so anything that brings it to life be it art or animation and the like gets us right in the heartstrings.

[@pearlyfilms]

matt looks on the verge of tears when he sees everyone hug fresh cut grass 😭

[@galaxyblade111]

Love how they literally have animated shows about their campaingns but are still able to gush about every detail in this short sequence...

[@bert_gimspon]

Must feel really nice to have friends like that as an adult.

[@merchkerns]

I’ve never seen a single full episode from this wonderful team but seeing them so happy about the adventures they’ve shared is truly unique and special to the medium and genre. Thank you, Matt Mercer, for bringing them together and gifting your wonderful show to the world! 🙏🏻❤️ And of course a special Thank You to Ashley Johnson. 💛

[@angelomordini6779]

That must be so cool to see you and your friend’s characters fully animated

[@ellemars1817]

It's the most wholesome thing seeing them just as excited for all this as we are, if not more!

[@ryanquick1266]

So much emotion and detail from this animation it gave me chills. Amazing into fantastic job well done. Should definitely use this for the show when the time comes!

[@riverpubby]

I never really got into critical role, but as a dnd player who loves and cherishes my characters and my time with friends, this made me emotional - I can only imagine what it’s like to have your characters brought to life like that

[@azzazzinx5519]

Same. I don't follow them, but I've watched them as they enjoyed the animation numerous times now. It's very wholesome.

That's gotta feel awesome. To see your game brought to life like that.

[@dungeonsanddioramas8068]

I know it wont be even a fraction as good as the Critical Roll intro, but I'm trying to make an animation for my DnD group as well. It'd be cool to see my dm and party have similar reactions X3

it doesnt matter how many episodes i watch, whether every thursday or when im binging to catch up, i will never skip this intro, nor will i watch it without a massive smile on my face as i very passionately mouth along with the lyrics.

[@GoobieTheGoob]

Going to preface this with that I’m not being a shitter because I dedicate 4 hours of my off-days to watching these beautiful people be awesome. I’m in love with these animations although it makes me a little worried for the future of CR, like how people are already anticipating that Bells Hells be animated into a show, as though animating every campaign they run is now the actual standard they have to meet. That’s a lot of pressure.

[@persephonethereaper6938]

19:52 I came here from the Drawfee extra VOD of “We’re Business today” for this joke that’s just for Karina. And Fall Out Boy fans.

[@XxEmortalWarriorxX]

I have used to watch critical role for 6 years straight. It wasnt anything to do with the show that i stopped but due to CR. I Fell so behind in my animes that i have missed being released and last i remember watching CR. Is when the group visits the jungle village i forget the name but its the place chetney learns more about his powers. Seeing this new intro tho is making me wanna get back into the show but idk if can with all the fire anime thats come out this year.
