Critical Role's animated show (originally funded by a $10M crowdfunding campaign which broke $1M in under an hour, and then picked up by Amazon for 2 seasons) launches on 4th February 2022. You can now see a preview.
It's super hard to get into C1 with all the scrolling chat and technical issues. It's better to skip ahead until somewhere in the 20s when they get the better gear and space. Or skip to C2. I still haven't watched more than a few C1 episodes. If they edit down the shopping episodes I'll probably like the cartoon more than the stream.That was my first response, trying to get into Campaign 1, also. For some reason, I cgave the second campaign a try and loved it. I think my problem with C1 was that when it started streaming, they were all already level 8 and had a lot of history between the characters already - made it hard for me to get into. Campaign 2 started up with the merging of a couple subgroups into one adventuring party, which made it easier to get into - if I recall right, C2E1 they had just dinged to level 2

They're already with Amazon, they stream on Twitch.It is a shame that it is with Amazon, but I hope that it turns out well. The second season has already been ordered, which is positive.
Any idea how many arcs they'll cover in this season? Should inform whether this show will transition to Cammpaign 2 after season 2 or not.
super late reply, but just wanted to say that I have the same problem, so I just listen to about anhour at a time when it comes out in podcast form.I think I'm most excited about this because I'll finally be able to follow the Critical Role series without having to commit to four-hour videos. Every time I've tried, I've tapped out after 3-4 episodes.
Looks like backers are watching early previews. Have any y’all watched any yet? Whatcha think?
It's definitely an entertaining first two episodes. Though definitely not safe for work, content warnings abound.Looks like backers are watching early previews. Have any y’all watched any yet? Whatcha think?

I kinda wish someone would edit each episode into roughly 1 hour segments. Even 2 hour segments would probably make it more accessible.I tried it in podcast form, but still found myself growing bored. I normally have a good attention span, but I think if someone asked me to watch a four-hour movie, I'd feel the same way as with CR.
Looking forward to it coming out on Prime and getting to finally give it a proper shot.

Man, sounds like a lot of potential streaming choices just did NOT get Critical Role.So apparently the reason Legend of Vox Machina is on Amazon Prime is because other streaming services wanted significant changes to the Critical Role team's vision:

I just listen to it while running or cutting grass, or driving. Then hit pause.I kinda wish someone would edit each episode into roughly 1 hour segments. Even 2 hour segments would probably make it more accessible.
Enjoyed it, though it may have leaned a bit too far into the "adult" side of adult cartoon. Toning down a few of the sophomoric bits would have worked for me, or nor leaned so much on nog standard cussing.Looks like backers are watching early previews. Have any y’all watched any yet? Whatcha think?
Yeah, saw a little too much of Scanlan there in that scene.Just watched episodes 1 and 2.
Definitely enjoyed it as it hit all the notes of the series. There was one scene with Scanlan and "the daughter" that was a little too over the top.
Otherwise I really liked it a lot, and don't understand the folks saying "hope it picks up in episode 3". Seems fine, but if it gets better thats cool too.
