It’s why, two seasons in, Vox Machina has proven it’s not just a stellar adaptation from one medium to another—but an uproarious, heartening, thrilling animated series in its own right.
The Legend of Vox Machina, in all its violence and vulgarity, most importantly never forgets its heart, and the series’ commitment to telling those meaningful stories alongside its badass fight sequences and crude humor make it feel refreshing and unique still in its second outing.
Amazing series. This season felt a bit rushed at the end but it really doesn't matter to me. I had a great time watching this and I can recommend this series to everyone.
Despite an overabundance of tropes, the season gets by thanks to its charming voice cast and endearing characters, which get deepened in exciting ways this season.
A worthy and interesting follow-up. Vox Machina, as powerful as each of its members are, can’t tackle everything on its own. And while it might seem like a somewhat lazy premise to saddle the Vox Machina with fetch quests, there’s nothing quick or simple about finding the Vestiges.
Critically, it could use some refining, but as a fan of the game, sometimes it just feels good to watch a campaign play out like how we all imagined it in our heads.
The second season starts definitely better than the first one. You can feel the improvement in writing, pace and animation. Less toilet jokes is, in my opinion, also an upswing. Looking forward to next episodes.
Despite moments of shaky pacing or story and character cliches, The Legend of Vox Machina Season 2 comes alive in its second half with emotional character arcs and excellent pacing, coinciding with the series’ consistently brilliant action sequences.
First three episodes of season 2 were as good if not better than season 1. The villains, the battles, the character motivations etc.. all fit nicely and are very intriguing. The only downside would be some of the characters'backstories, that are clichéd as they come.
