Murder Drones

This is honestly one of the most impressive things I have seen on YouTube, the show is amazing while it does not appeal to everyone due to its edgy humor.

The one problem for me (and this can be just because I am dumb) is how confusing it is, in episode 6 I did not know what was going on, so I had to watch a separate lore explaining video just to get back on track, but really once you've done that it becomes clear for the last episodes.

Couldn't really make my review longer because I have said everything I wanted to say so this is basically just some filler text why are you still reading please stop.

Murder Drones is something I respect, it's great that indie animation is going on higher leagues this year and Murder Drones is a solid contender.

Murder Drones is a great combination of genres, the dedication and soul can really be seen in the quality of the animation.

Its weakest element is how it handles its humor, Murder Drones throws too many meta jokes that none hit well, it eventually bodes the meta humor to the point where they feel forced.

While the story is solid - even with some pacing issues, it's nice to see that it's great because the team put soul and dedication to this project.

It's not a masterpiece but it is great as an original project and it's a good example for what original indie animation should be.

After the last episode I have to say it was quite the journey. Murder drones is just a great show and probably one of the best things indie animation has to offer. Still it was quite hard to follow and without external lore videos it would be even harder. I know that the missing pieces were probably intended to create mystery but I honestly think that's the only part they really failed. I think it would have been even better if the story would have been more straight forward as other than the artificial created mystery the story really isn't that mysterious at all. Some of the episodes also were pretty pointless and obvious filler episodes. Yes they are world building episodes but if they take away valuable spots where the main story could have been explained more I think this is an issue.

Not gonna lie. Aside from the plot (which is simple yet entertaining), the quality of the animation and the voice acting (both of which are exceptional), Murder Drones scratches a unique itch of mine. It combines several genres to create a dark/horror sci-fi, with much comedy and amazing attention to detail, which left me at the edge of my seat eager for more.

I quite remember when SMG4 mostly announced this mostly around 2021 and I quite watch itself the pilot episode and it's was a bit amazing in my opinion, I mostly can't wait to watch Series 1.
