[@1145223bena]

Gabe Holmes yup

[@jasonjarrell1858]

Only blizzard would make a full blown anime short that rivals modern day anime just to promote 3 new skins

[@MindAndMyth]

"Modern day anime" is a very wide margin. Some anime have bigger budgets than others or less experienced staff. Like this quality dwarfs some anime but also pales in comparison to even some older shows.

[@Aliens1337]

Jason Jarrell Dude, League does full CGI shorts for their skins and new champion for years. Not down playing Blizzard’s quality stuff, but they aren’t the “only one.”

[@velvetbluez9823]

pretty sure they were fighting Mecha Dehaka which is a tank so it's a straight 2 vs 2

You can say what you want about blizzard but its clear how much the art team enjoys their work. They went 100% from day one and never stopped

[@Zegoggy]

TheHorreK2 Can't agree more, and they are being sooo creative on every single game.

[@6099x]

Ye, forget all problems of game! Just enjoy this piece of art!

[@6099x]

Алекс Корж, I think an observant mind can be both conscious of HotS's problems *and* enjoy this incredible animation.

[@Bruno.Bellenger]

yes, an observant mind ... not his/her

[@nerdistnewkid]

Seeing this video makes me really sad. This was kinda the height of hots in my opinion. I know the remaining devs are trying their best, it’s just that seeing the state of the game now compared to 2018 is kinda heartbreaking. To the remaining devs and fans keep the game alive.

[@PaladineAvenger1]

ye man. same feelings

[@wiserzulu]

Ditto

[@PaladineAvenger1]

@Dr. Where already moved to LoL. But Hots was a good game nevertheless

[@hectorgonzalezpulido8683]

@Dr. Where Why? HotS is still fun and we still have new stuff in the form of reworks, anomalies, skins, mounts and new heroes (yep, fewer new heroes, but it's not like DotA 2 has a lot of them)

[@Skellytor27]

What kicked hots in the nuts?

[@AxelBurned]

I like how all they're promoting are a couple of badass skins, and they totally could have just said, "Oh, we're adding mecha skins for a few heroes. Cool, huh?" BUT NO, THEY HAD TO MAKE A GIANT BADASS ANIME FIGHT. BECAUSE WHY NOT? I love Blizzard. They're so extra.

[@neveryflinglas6348]

Axel Burned yet they won't fix the stupid matchmaking LUL. They're good at adding useless cosmetics and promote that but they won't fix the heart of the game which is matchmaking

[@The_Jomonge]

Axel Burned Who doesn’t enjoy a badass anime fight

[@Arzack711]

this isn't really an anime. This video is a tribute the Earth Defence Force game francais. Probably (hopefully), hinted us that Blizzard-Activision gets to publish EDF game in the next instalment.

[@AlexKrendor]

Other companies: We got new skins. Blizzard: Skins? No, this is real life. *makes a whole lore behind each skin*

[@LtSMASH324]

Alex Krendor this is great and all, but they don't really do that. They just write one sentence for the skin, describing the "lore," if you want to call it that. This trailer isn't even lore, or significant in any way. It's just awesome.

[@nickpavon4388]

Alex Krendor not trying to come off bad but leagues been doing stuff like this for years. Animation and all

[@thechugg4372]

LoL has whole lore behind skins and a REAL WHOLE lore

[@321kye6]

This cinematic and lore is pretty cool but we can't forget that literally every MOBA has skin lore ranging from cinematics to comics and short stories. Just to name a few... HoN skin lore (black legion, URSA Corps, cyber universe, etc.) LoL skin lore (project, star guardians, bloodmoon, etc.) Smite skin lore and events (various Odyssey events and skins) Dota2 (Arcana skin lore) The list goes on and on...

[@rynlikesfood]

[@SketchAndEtch]

I have no idea what I've just watched but it was glorious and we need more of it.

[@filgaslael]

My friend you just said it all

[@cagaulu]

How dare you to end such an epic master piece.

[@JdotCarver]

*I LOVE IT* You know Blizz is the best when they just, oh you know, casually come out with an epic anime battle scene just for 3 skins.

[@bias69]

This is the problem with Blizzard, they can make great animation and great skins, but forget about great engine with instant reconnect, great matchmaking and great ranked system that won't place last season platinums in master.

[@JdotCarver]

Got to agree if they don't redo the Engine and migrate away from SC2 soon it'll never happen. The more they delay the more difficult it'll be.

[@Theonevidz]

This is the worst thing. They bow to weeb culture which must be eradicated.

[@NathSb]

I want this to be a series.

[@rablablook1720]

We all know Blizz won't :p They could have done a 3D animated movie series with Overwatch, but nah, they do the movie shorts as a means to hype and advertise the game.

[@alejandronieto4212]

how do you know they won't? They have'nt done that... yet.

[@woodwyrm]

Don't we all?!? HEY BLIZZARD GET ON IT OR NO-ONE RESUBS FOR WOW!!!

[@forrenz]

I kinda hope they do stuff like this for the other alternate universes they've got. Not necessarily fully-animated - even just with in-game assets.

[@ashb712]

Just watch the original transformers movie from the 80s. You will definitely be satisfied!

So where is my anime series of HotS, BLIZZ?!?!

[@JetKerido]

[@speakingfacts8494]

UdonBullets NoGhost and TheLineAnimation are a phenomenal team! They definitely set a standard with this one! Blizz need to work with them again and again and AGAIN!

[@Elyseon]

Now when is the Overwatch team getting Power Rangers or X-COM themed skins?

[@lord2529]

Would be nice if they can make a map of this.

[@splatttt]

I never knew I wanted a HotS anime, but you've given me a taste Blizzard. You can't just stop here. You have to give me the full meal.

[@Glace__]

You can feel the inspiration... Bliz made this video just because they wanted to.

[@ToastyKen]

This is still the coolest promo video of the last 20 years. :)

[@nimsed9527]

well, you definetly seem to be having alot of fun. Just one problem Now we want a Mini-seires :)

Im crying, this is too beautiful. The animation quality was dope and the skin look really nice. I need more of this. More i tell you.

[@jebthepleb492]

Nevermind I just cried

[@soscobra]

Actual Rehgar skin looked dumb af when I looked in the game...

[@arnotsr]

I still get goosebumps watching mecha storm and im so happy they made a second one. The first one is still awesome though in comparison.

[@raflyr4578]

this looks promising, although the manga is better

[@SpenzarTheMighty]

The fan translation of the light novel is better

[@ufofighter16]

It gets better when they start unlocking their Stands

[@sometime2530]

No CD ulti

[@barduk4]

not only did he ult twice in a row he used it on the enemy which is not how it works, thats next level cheating

[@devinsun760]

There are two Abathurs... you just never noticed because they are using the same skin and they weren't shown in the same frame in this one video. Otherwise this fight would be unfair 2v1.

[@devinsun760]

The abathur(s) party had afk tyrael and rehgar on it. He was copying his own team's players, which happens to have used the same skins as the other team.

[@DNukem47]

Abathur summoned two clones at once? Reported for hacking!

[@TheRealPentigan]

Also he summoned clones of enemy heroes. So another type of hack.

[@MALEMization]

To be honest, Abathur's Ultimate Evolution's Level 20 should have the ability to transform into an enemy hero!

[@tonibordesu5637]

it's been past 2 years and I still could watch this trailer ten times a day and the worst even after all this viewings the moment when rehgar pop up the BL and the music goes nuts my eyes are always wets of pure excitement

[@Stella_Technicus]

I WANT THAT AS A SERIES! NOW! That is so Epic. Pleas make it real.

[@roswellautopsia]

THIS WAS THE BEST FREAKING THING WE HAVE SEEN UNTIL TODAY FROM HEROES OF THE STORM OMG. EXCELLENT WORK

[@wanderingharlow6305]

Okay Blizzard, this looks too good to be a mere advertisement for skins. Use this concept & Make something amazing with this type of animation, and Pronto.

[@rudeboyspodcast]

So, where are the credits for the art and animation team who worked on this?

[@collectivevolution]

First thing that came to my mind was "who is SHREDDING this guitar solo!?"

[@skyguy713]

Whoever they were, they did great, and always make it a pleasure to watch these trailers.

[@Her_Imperious_Condescension]

Blizzard is slowly transitioning into becoming an animation company. We have Overwatch and their heartfelt Pixar shorts, and now we have some Heroes of the Storm anime.

[@jshadowhunter]

The Atomic Cherry And Wow has some if the best fully CGI quality cinematics.

[@glorious_RD]

Hey! We had anime in Overwatch too with the Doomfist reveal.

[@Highlander1Leo]

However, Blizzard outsourced the doomfist anime against genji, tracer, and winston. There's a strong chance they outsourced this. (which is fine)

[@wanderingharlow6305]

The Atomic Cherry They could do with way better music in Overwatch. That's one of the big things that game is lacking in quality and variety.

[@Her_Imperious_Condescension]

+Wandering Harlow There are really not that many opportunities for music in that game. They can’t really have some epic tracks pumping out during a match, because it would disctract people from the fact that it’s a PvP match. Unless you’re playing Lucio, or something. There’s the menu, and little jingles when loading a map, but that’s about all they can reasonably fit in. Though, PvE events give them more flexability. I wish there were more of those.

[@JohwannaJoon]

Came back after the transformers collaborations on overwatch. Man really loved these kinda updates when HoTS also had it
