First Episode of The Mighty Nein Available Now on YouTube

The first episode of The Mighty Nein, a new animated series based on Critical Role's second campaign, is available for free on YouTube. Prime Video posted the episode on YouTube in the early morning today, providing fans and newcomers alike with a free preview of its series ahead of its launch next week.

While set in the same world as The Legend of Vox Machina, The Mighty Nein is a standalone series and requires no previous knowledge of either Critical Role or The Legend of Vox Machina to enjoy. The first few episodes of the new show serve as a prequel to the events of Campaign 2, providing more concrete origin stories and what the characters were up to ahead of the events of the first episode of the campaign.

You can check out the new episode below:

After an explosion at the border, Wildemount is on the brink of War. Beauregard Lionett investigates the scene of an explosion, uncovering a sinister scheme lurking in the shadows. Meanwhile, Caleb Widogast teams up with an unlikely ally to break into a magical pet shop.

Boy, the long cold open sequence really underscores just how high magic parts of Exandria are, which isn't how I usually hear the setting described.

While I was happy to see Nott, the episode felt very serious without Jester.

Yeah. I think CR leads the charge of 5E feeling like fantasy superheroes in a fantasy superhero world.

Is it me or is Sam’s Nott voice different? I’d imagine he doesn’t want to keep doing that gnarly voice he used in the live play. Especially after the throat cancer.

Jester makes everything better. So looking forward to this one. The Nein are my favorite CR crew by far.

It has flying ships as standard.
