With the dragons now in charge, it is up to Vox Machina to go on a McGuffin hunt and find sacred weapons that can aid them in the fight against the Conclave, lest the whole realm be destroyed. does a terrific job with the animation, even if the computer effects are still a bit wonky at times.

The first episode alone is a fantastic and at times terrifying half-hour of TV, with tons of action and mayhem caused by the dragons destroying everything and everyone in their path in different (yet still very painful) ways. It may anger some hardcore fans with how many liberties it takes with the source material, but it's all in service of telling one cohesive tale that nevertheless continues to capture the essence of improvised Dungeons & Dragons campaigns and the chaos that tends to fuel them.īased on the hugely popular Critical Role livestreams, The Legend of Vox Machina Season 2 picks up right where the previous one ended, with a group of dragons calling themselves the Chroma Conclave invading Tal'Dorei and taking control of its capital. This season of Vox Machina is bigger, meaner, and has a better balance between absurdist comedy and serious fantasy adventuring. Fantasy is all the rage on TV, but while most of the attention is given to the big, expensive live-action shows, animation is not being left behind, with The Dragon Prince, Dragon Age: Absolution, and The Legend of Vox Machina providing epics on par with the houses of dragons and the powerful rings.
